Miley Cyrus shares shocking way she hid drug use
Miley Cyrus, who recently released her ninth album, candidly opened up about her drug use before going sober in 2020, and the shocking way she hid the costs from her accountant
Music and fashion icon Miley Cyrus has opened up on the shocking ways she managed to hide her drug use and spending from her personal accountant. The 32-year-old 'Flowers' singer candidly opened up about her drug use before going sober in 2020.
The singers 'biggest cost' in the past was reportedly drugs, which she covered up by claiming she was buying vintage clothes. Reflecting on the past, Miley said: 'We called them vintage clothes and every time [my accountant] saw me, she'd be like, 'Where's that, $15,000 original John Lennon T-shirt that you bought?' It's like, 'Oh, it's upstairs.,' as reported in Blast.
Miley also revealed that the more 'expensive items' she bought, she would claim have been stored away for preservation, claiming that they are 'really delicate' and that she wants to 'protect them'. Miley jokingly added: 'So I bought a lot of vintage clothes that year'.
The former Disney star also spoke more seriously about her time and experience with drugs, and said she was 'so glad' that she 'survived' that time in her life.
Miley reportedly said: 'I would definitely not encourage anyone else to go this hard. But the fact that I got through it. I'm very glad I got to do it.'
Miley has been candid about her past struggles with drug use and the journey that led her to sobriety. Having grown up in the spotlight due to her Disney Channel fame as Hannah Montana, Miley experienced an early and intense level of fame that she later said contributed to her experimentation with drugs and alcohol.
In a 2020 interview with Variety, Cyrus revealed she had decided to go sober after undergoing vocal cord surgery in late 2019. Initially, it was a health-related decision, but she soon found sobriety brought clarity.
Speaking about her sober challenges, she told Variety at the time: 'It's really hard because especially being young, there's that stigma of 'you're no fun.' It's like, 'honey, you can call me a lot of things, but I know that I'm fun.'
The Wrecking Ball singer added: "The thing that I love about it is waking up 100%, 100% of the time. I don't want to wake up feeling groggy. I want to wake up feeling ready.'
Miley has continued creating music and has just released her ninth studio album, Something Beautiful, on May 30, 2025. The new album features collaborations with artists such as Brittany Howard, Naomi Campbell, and Cyrus's boyfriend Maxx Morando.
The lead single, End of the World, was released on April 3, and has been well received by fans and critics. The New York Times called it a "luxurious pop extravaganza," while Atwood Magazine described it as "an anthem for the present moment with an exhilarating blend of hedonism, nostalgia, and defiance in the face of looming uncertainty."

Wrexham owner and Hollywood star files documents to officially change his name
Wrexham FC co-owner Rob McElhenney's wife and his It's Sunny in Philadelphia co-star Kaitlin Olson claimed the couple's kids are not in favour of the name change Wrexham FC co-owner Rob McElhenney has filed documents to legally change his name. The It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star, whose character in the show is known as Mac, wants to be known .by the name Rob Mac in real-life, according to documents filed in Los Angeles. The shortened versions of his first and last names are a far cry from his full title of Robert McElhenney III. He first mentioned his intention to change his name in an interview with US outlet Variety in May, telling them: 'As our business and our storytelling is expanding into other regions of the world and other languages in which my name is even harder to pronounce, I'm just going by Rob Mac. McElhenney's wife and It's Sunny in Philadelphia co-star Kaitlin Olson has said the couple's kids are not in favour of the change and suggested she is also concerned about it. She said: 'The kids are really not happy about it because they have that last name. And so do I, legally!'. He launched private company 'More Better Industries' in 2024, and was part owner of Philadelphia bar 'Mac's Tavern,' which announced Monday it was closing after 15 years in business. McElhenney, 48, and fellow Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds, 48, bought Wrexham football club in 2021. They have since been credited with a 50 per cent surge in visitors to the Welsh city after charting the club's rise to the Championship on Disney+ series Welcome to Wrexham. The show is a big hit in the US, where last month alone more than 300,000 people searched for Wrexham content on internet site Reddit. Tourism chiefs say it is part of the set-jet trend inspired by what people see on TV.

Three big names top Amazon's James Bond casting wishlist
Amazon MGM are reportedly circling three huge names to replace Daniel Craig as James Bond. The long-running franchise made a monumental step towards its next instalment this week, with the appointment of Denis Villeneuve as director. Announcing that the Dune filmmaker would be helming the next film in the series, head of Amazon MGM Studios Mike Hopkins said: 'We are honoured that Denis has agreed to direct James Bond's next chapter. 'He is a cinematic master, whose filmography speaks for itself.' Since then, speculation has gone into overdrive as to who might play Villeneuve's Bond – with some suggesting he might tap up Dune collaborator Timothée Chalamet to take the role. According to Variety, the studio and producers have their own wishlist in mind – and it's between actors Jacob Elordi, Tom Holland and Harris Dickinson. 28-year-old Jacob hit the stratosphere as the star of the 2023 hit Saltburn, appearing opposite Barry Keoghan as the object of creepy Oliver Quick's affections. With the publication reporting that producers are looking for an actor under the age of 30, Jacob certainly hits the bill in that respect. While Jacob is an Australian, that shouldn't count against him in playing British instruction Bond – underrated 007 George Lazenby was an Aussie too. If Jacob is successful, this should more than make up for him missing out on a starring role in James Gunn's upcoming Superman reboot. Marvel Cinematic Universe star Tom Holland, 29, previously threw his own name into the hat, admitting that he'd 'love' to play Bond. 'I'm just putting that out there,' he teased in 2021, adding: 'I look pretty good in a suit.' And, as the MCU's own Spider-Man, Tom is no stranger to explosive franchise filmmaking. English actor Harris, 29, has had a strong run of hits recently, starring in Triangle of Sadness, The Iron Claw and Babygirl in the last three years alone. As of April this year, Harris's odds were listed as 9/1 to score the elusive license to kill. 'The 28-year-old already has a very impressive portfolio of work and has received critical acclaim for his acting alongside Nicole Kidman,' said Betfred spokesperson Robert Ford. Earlier this year, it was announced that Harris will step into the shoes of another British icon – playing John Lennon in Sam Mendes' upcoming Beatles biopic. With producers circling their Bond, speculation has also been rife as to who might be the next Bond girl. While some speculated that Zendaya could appear opposite Villeneuve's future Bond, her Dune: Part 2 co-star Florence Pugh has edged her out of the top spot. According to the Midsommar star is the favourite to be the next Bond girl, at odds of 8/1. 'I think everyone's always interested in playing a spy, right?' she told Digital Spy. 'That's something we grow up admiring, which is so strange, but it's just a very clever and quick world that we all want to be a part of.' As the only name formally attached to the new film, Villeneuve has responded to the announcement of his new gig, promising that the franchise is in safe hands. More Trending 'Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007,' he said in a statement released soon after the news broke. 'I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since Dr. No with Sean Connery. I'm a die-hard Bond fan. To me, he's sacred territory. He described the opportunity 'a massive responsibility, but also, incredibly exciting for me and a huge honour.' Got a story?

Eye-popping music videos today's kids will never understand
Music videos used to stop time. They were culture defining, career-making moments. Iconic music videos would dominate conversations in the school playgrounds, whether it was rehearsing PSY's Gangnam Style with your friends or pinning your curls with Diet Coke cans like Lady Gaga. Nowadays they drop at midnight, trend on TikTok for 24 hours, then vanish into the depths of the algorithm. So here are seven iconic music videos that kids today just wouldn't understand… You either rehearsed this iconic dance, or you weren't trying hard enough. This wasn't just a music video, it was a movement – anything Beyoncé touched became a worldwide phenomenon. TikTok trends wish they could relate to the viral choreography that turned bedrooms into dance floors. Kids today will never understand how a black-and-white leotard and a glove could shape the music industry. Gen Alpha will never experience the nine minutes of pure cinematic chaos that is the Telephone music video. This mini movie will go down in history for its plot, fashion, and dare I say is one of the best collaborations of the 2010s. This was not just a casual YouTube video drop, this was a premiere. The short-film ended with the iconic duo racing through the desert as the screen reads 'To be continued…' Update: we are still waiting girls! In true Britney fashion, this video went viral before viral was a thing. The sweat. The snake. The stage. This video was pure pop rebellion, but Miss Spears did not stop at the video and continued to rebel through her infamous 2001 VMAs performance. Slave 4 U was the epitome of how raw and unfiltered celebrities were in noughties music videos. Kids these days will never grasp the pre-Instagram video sensations – it made headlines not hashtags. Yes it became a meme, but Wrecking Ball was a huge turning point for Miley Cyrus' image. She quite literally smashed her Disney image in real time by swinging naked on a wrecking ball. The bleach blonde buzz, the nudity, the award-show performances – this music video was responsible for putting Hannah Montana 6-feet under and introducing the world to the new version of Miley. Kids today might have a giggle watching this back, but anyone who was there knows the cultural earthquake that this video caused. Katy Perry's California Gurls wasn't just a music video, it was a combination of a pure sugar rush mixed with the ultimate pop princess anthem. From laying naked, kicking her feet on a cloud to spraying whipped cream out of her iconic sparkly red bikini, kids today will never understand having this video on repeat at girly sleepovers. As if California Gurls wasn't legendary enough, Snoop Dogg also featured in it sporting a candy-covered suit. It wasn't just a song; it was a full-on mood. A sugary escapism that defined early 2010s pop and made everyone want to be a sun-kissed California girl. The Baby music video highlighted the true duality of Justin Bieber, with it being the most disliked and viewed YouTube video at the time of its release. Set in a bowling alley turned nightclub, with Ludacris rapping about his first love, it wasn't just a video, it was a global teen takeover. Justin's swept fringe and purple get-up caused teenage girls around the world to come down with Bieber fever. Baby was a cultural paradox that only the 2010s could birth…Gen Alpha could never. Only Justin Timberlake would entice everyone into MTV by releasing the ultimate early-2000s breakup anthem with the most dramatic, moody, cinematic music video to exist. More Trending The infamous video took place in a rain-soaked mansion, with an obvious Britney Spears lookalike making an appearance. We all aspire to be Justin's level of petty. Justin managed to turn his personal pain into pop gold, and everyone went crazy for it. You really had to be there. Music videos weren't just background visuals, they defined 2010s pop culture.
