An 80 page special edition zine photographed by Paolo Roversi and Lynette Garland. "Styled by Katie Grand. A fashion epic (starting with no fashion). An instant classic. Cover 1/6. "Pre order now, link in bio, shipping 11th August." Miley looked sensational in the stylish black and white image with her flowing locks hanging loose over one shoulder. As she stared moodily at the camera, the stunning singer covered her modesty with an outstretched arm. She also showed off her magnificent dream catcher tattoo that she's had since 2011. Fans flocked to the comments section calling the superstar an icon and praising the image. And one fan wrote: "The woman you are!!! We love you Miley." Another added: "The Power of this woman." A third said: "OMG she broke the internet again." Miley Cyrus reveals hospital dash after filming for her music video caused shock illness While another said: "Oh my goodness, are we back at the nakedness again. "I was so ready for her to shed all of that and focus on her talent… And be taken seriously. "Sorry guys I'm just not as impressed as you are." Miley revealed a few months ago that she was dashed to hospital after filming for her music video caused a shock illness. She explained her surprise stint in intensive care caused her to develop a nasty infection, despite only shooting on the popular Hollywood Walk of Fame. In a recent interview with DJ Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Miley revealed she suffers from a large polyp on her vocal cords, as well as a condition called Reinke's edema - both of which make touring nearly impossible. Miley recently spoke out for the first time about speculation of a family rift after rumors of tension began circulating online. The 32-year-old singer addressed the rumors in a heartfelt statement shared to her Instagram Story, as she shut down the ongoing chatter around her mom Tish Cyrus-Purcell and her dad Billy Ray. She also addressed her relationship with her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, 62, acknowledging their complex relationship but insisting they are in a good place. In the past year, Billy Ray has found himself at the center of allegations of domestic abuse from Firerose, which he has denied. He also made headlines for a widely criticized performance at an inauguration event for former President Donald Trump, which was marred by technical issues and awkward moments. He is now dating Austin Powers actress Liz Hurley, 59. However, none of his six children including daughter Noah have liked or interacted with any of their posts together online. It comes as Miley's mom was last year accused of stealing husband Dominic Purcell from daughter Noah - and Noah was supposedly exiled from her mom's wedding. 5 Miley revealed she suffers from a large polyp on her vocal cords, as well as a condition called Reinke's edema - both of which make touring nearly impossible Credit: Getty

Mum-of-two Meghan sent out a newsletter last week revealed her Napa Valley Rosé was crowned "The IT drink for summer". She added: "We are pleased to share that our 2024 Napa Valley Rosé will be available for purchase next week." Advertisement It comes after it was revealed the brand's new Rosé will set back punters $30 a bottle and Meghan also plans to bring out a sparkling wine. The 2023 Napa Valley Rosé is on sale via a new wine section on Meg's As Ever website. The Rosé costs $30 (£21) a bottle, or in packs of three for $90 (£65), a half case for $159 (£115) and full case for $300 (£218). It is being flogged on new website - where more booze will be added. Advertisement Meghan is set to reveal a sparkling wine among new wine varieties. But the Rosé is described by As Ever as "a pale blush wine offers a roundness and depth of flavor that is complemented by gentle minerality and soft notes of stone fruit with a lasting finish". REAL motive behind Harry & Meghan's 'peace talks' REVEALED - but it's a confused plan that won't work They claim the tipple is an "As ever blend" which includes "Cabernet Sauvignon, Mourvèdre, Grenache, and Syrah varietals". The taste is described as "sophisticated, dry, and refreshing, it is designed for summer's best moments – from lunches that turn into dinners and sun-drenched weekends where the only thing louder than the music is the laughter".

When Meghan first announced her As Ever brand, it was embroiled in row after row over the trademark and logo. For her first few items, the website sold a range of products from £11 jars of jam to £22 limited edition honey. Within half-an-hour the range was out of stock, prompting Meghan to post on Instagram: "Our shelves may be empty, but my heart is full!" Advertisement Fans snapped up the £11 raspberry preserve, which is marketed as a "luscious fruit-forward spread" in "elegant keepsake packaging". Meghan sent her jams to a number of celebrities who shared unboxing videos, including Kris Jenner and Zoe Saldaña. She then decided to "just pause" restocking her As Ever brand after previously selling out in under an hour. 5 The couple with their children Archie and Lilibet in the Netflix show Credit: Netflix

The 27-year-old villa beauty announced the happy news that she was engaged, on Instagram last week. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Love Island star Ellie Brown's mystery fiance has been revealed as a US basketball player Credit: Instagram 4 They enjoyed a romantic proposal last week Credit: Instagram 4 The identity of Ellie's beau has been revealed as basketball player Devon Daniels Credit: Getty She showed off her huge sparkling ring as well as loved-up snaps with her fiancé as they celebrated on a yacht in the United States. Ellie, who wowed in a white crochet dress, wrote: "My most confident yes." And now the identity of Ellie's beau has been revealed as basketball player Devon Daniels. A source told The Sun: '"I realised I follow him on Instagram, his name is Devon Daniels and he's a basketball player.' On further investigation, looking at both Ellie and the Chicagoan sport's stars' online photos, you can see images of the basketball player's forearm tattoos match those of her mystery beau posted on Instagram. The source continued: 'What happened was on Saturday it came up on my new Instagram on my explore page that these two people had got engaged and I definitely recognised him. 'I recognised her too because he'd posted some photos of her on his story but at the time I just thought she was a regular person. I didn't know she'd been on Love Island as I've never watched. 'But I saw it said 'mystery person' but I know it's him. He'd posted her on his story before." Ellie and her representative have been contacted for comment, but have not yet responded. Love Island star looks very different five years after appearing in the villa Devon can be found posting his basketball achievements to his 10,000 Instagram followers. The sports personality looked relieved as soon as Ellie accepted his proposal, and they shared a tender cuddle. They celebrated by tucking into a huge sharing platter at the back of the boat and had glasses of fizz. Her friends and followers were delighted, with close pal Kaz Crossley writing: "Still crying. She's a FIANCÉE. soooo beautiful love you so much." Love Island's Yewande Biala said: "So happy for you beauty, congratulations." Tommy Fury's ex Millie Roberts shared: "So so so happy for u angel." Towie and Geordie Shore star Sophie Kasaei said: "I'm screaming from the rooftops!!!! My little ell I'm so happy for you !!! Congratulations." Ellie, who starred in the 2018 series of Love Island, went public with her man last January as they puckered up during a windswept outing to the seaside. Since her time on series four of the ITV2 reality show, Ellie hasn't had the best of luck when it comes to romance. In the villa, she fell for London socialite Charlie Brake. The couple continued with their relationship on the outside, before he reportedly dumped her on Instagram while she was sat in the cinema with her pal Laura Anderson. Ellie went on to enjoy a relationship with fellow Love Island alumni Michael Griffiths, who starred in the 2019 series. The pair hit it off after they filmed Ex On The Beach together but their romance was rocky. Days after Michael said Ellie was The One, the couple split. They briefly rekindled their romance, but it wasn't to be and they broke up for good. Then, in 2021, Ellie found herself in the headlines thanks to a night out with England footballer Jack Grealish. The pair were seen chatting together at a party before hitting the clubs in Manchester. But it was all innocent, with Jack's childhood sweetheart Sasha Attwood confirming days later that they were still very much together.
