Cyrus' supporters came to her defense after videos of the moment went viral on social media.
"She's so nice and patient. Those 'fans' are soooo rude and entitled. They should be ashamed," one user wrote, as another said, "She owes these people nothing. She handled this with such class and grace. Shame on them."

Inside Zac Brown and Kendra Scott's plan for $6.7M Austin home after engagement announcement
Zac Brown and jewelry designer Kendra Scott are engaged after the country singer popped the question with a sparkling pink diamond. So, will he move to Austin, TX, and make his fiancée's $6.7 million home their love nest? The 46-year-old 'Old Love Song' hitmaker, 46, got down on one knee and asked Scott, 51, to marry him—two months after making their romance red-carpet official. The lovebirds confirmed their engagement to People, telling the outlet that they are so 'happy and grateful' that they found each other. In May, the couple made their red carpet debut while attending the American Music Awards in Las Vegas. At the time, an insider close to Brown and Scott told the outlet that they were madly in love. 6 Zac Brown and jewelry designer Kendra Scott are engaged after the country singer proposed with a pink diamond ring. Getty Images 'They were set up by a mutual friend and are totally in love. They are head over heels and have become inseparable,' the source revealed. Just days after they hard-launched their relationship to the world, Scott—who shares sons Cade, 23, and Beck, 21, with ex-husband John Scott as well as son Grey, 11, with ex-husband Matt Davis—took to social media to gush about her new partner. 'What an unforgettable night at the @amas,' she wrote on Instagram that same day. 'We danced, we laughed, and seeing Zac honored with the inaugural Veteran's Voice Award was the highlight of it all.' 6 'They were set up by a mutual friend and are totally in love.

Aurora / Brian Prahl / '@zacbrown, I'm so incredibly proud of you—of your heart, your service, and the man you are. You couldn't deserve this more,' she penned. They were then spotted at fellow country star Jamey Johnson's wedding together, leaving fans gushing over their adorable romance. Their engagement comes two years after Brown—who shares kids Justice, 18, Lucy, 17, Georgia, 16, Joni, 14, and Alexander, 11, with ex-wife Shelly Brown—separated from Kelly Yazdi. 6 The engagement comes two years after Brown separated from Kelly Yazdi. Getty Images Yazdi and Brown announced their divorce in 2023, after just four months of marriage. 'We are in the process of divorce. Our mutual respect for one another remains. We wish each other the best and will always appreciate our time together. As we navigate this personal matter, we simply request privacy during this time,' they announced with a joint statement to Billboard at the time. Brown then filed an emergency temporary restraining order demanding that Yazdi remove an Instagram post that he claimed damaged his public image. Yazdi rebuked the lawsuit and shared a fierce social media post in response. 6 Brown listed his lakeside home in Georgia for $3.25 million amid his divorce. REUTERS 'No one—not even Zac Brown with all of his money, power, celebrity, and lawyers, may silence my right to freely express myself through art or, although I have to date declined to do so publicly, to speak about the circumstances of our pending divorce,' she said in a video shared to TikTok on May 19. Amid his divorce battle, Brown listed his sprawling lakeside home in Georgia for $3.25 million, after splashing out $1.8 million for it in 2020. The home is located in a gated community and boasts 9,448 square feet of living space, including seven bedrooms and five bathrooms. 6 Scott's 16,149 square feet home, built in 2016, has eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms with a resort-style pool and greenery. The home comes with a resort-style pool and lots of lush greenery—offering the newly engaged couple peak privacy. Google Maps 'The kitchen overlooks an open-concept vaulted living room and a fireside breakfast room flowing to a screened porch with lake views,' the listing read. After he offloaded the home, Brown, who grew up in Cumming, GA, which is near his former property, remained in Georgia. However, things might change now that the country singer is engaged to Scott. Brown might even opt to move into Scott's $6.7 million Austin dwelling.

Surprise! Johnny Depp joins Alice Cooper for Ozzy Osbourne tribute
Alice Cooper and his surprise guest Johnny Depp have paid tribute to Ozzy Osbourne. Depp made an appearance with Cooper during the rocker's concert at London's O2 Arena on Friday, July 25. The "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor, 62, joined Cooper, 77, in honoring Osbourne by playing guitar during a performance of the classic Black Sabbath song "Paranoid," according to video from the show shared on social media and YouTube. Depp formed the rock group Hollywood Vampires with Cooper in 2012. Cooper wore an Osbourne shirt for the tribute performance, which came days after the Black Sabbath musician died on July 22 at age 76. According to a statement from Osbourne's family, he "was with his family and surrounded by love." Cooper previously paid tribute to the rock icon in an Instagram post, noting he heard the news minutes before going on stage and subsequently dedicated his July 22 performance in Wales to the musician. "Well, we all know that time is going to take us rockers, but when the giants fall, it's really hard to accept," Cooper shared. "Even though everybody saw it coming with Ozzy, it just took our breath away when it happened. So Ozzy and family − your records and your music and your legend and all that you brought − the humor to the rock business − will live on forever and we're gonna miss you, man." Cooper also said that Osbourne "earned immense respect among his peers and from fans around the world as an unmatched showman and cultural icon." "He was and will continue to be a rock n roll legend. Rock n Roll is a family and a fraternity," he added. "When we lose one of our own it bleeds. I wish I would have gotten to know my brother Ozzy better." Cooper spoke further about Osbourne on "The Scott Mills Breakfast Show," noting the two of them "really got along" and shared a desire to continue performing as long as they could. Osbourne died just weeks after he performed during a farewell show with Black Sabbath. "Ozzy was one of those guys that was a lifer," Cooper reflected. "There are certain guys that are lifers − the (Rolling) Stones, The Beatles − that are still doing it and doing it amazingly well. I'm going to do this until I can't do it, and I think Ozzy was the same thing."

Min Woo Lee Cooks Golf With Justin Bieber, Kendall Jenner amid PGA Tour Break
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. After a grueling major season, golf professionals are finally catching their breath. Days ago, five-time major winner, Rory McIlroy, was spotted partying on a yacht in Saint-Tropez, with a champagne in hand. Now, another PGA Tour winner has stolen the spotlight with a different kind of celebration. The newest Texas Children's Houston Open champion, Min Woo Lee, who is currently enjoying his PGA Tour break, was spotted at a star-studded party in West Hollywood, Calif., on Thursday. But what made it special was Lee's cooking (golf swing) snaps alongside Justin Bieber and his wife, Hailey Bieber.

(Image Credits: @lilbieber/Instagram) Instagram The event, hosted by Spotify in collaboration with Bieber's newly launched fashion label Skylrk, doubled as a listening party for his surprise album Swag. The album, released on July 11, is Bieber's first studio drop in four years. Interestingly, the pictures shared by the 31-year-old pop singer on Saturday also captured Kendall Jenner dressed in all black, swinging a club barefoot. Lee, who's earned the nickname "Chef" for his flair both on and off the course, later commented on Justin's typing, "The Best." The PGA Tour pro's appearance at Bieber's party wasn't just a one-off. Lee and the pop star icon struck up a friendship earlier this year. It went viral after the Aussie golfer snagged his Houston Open title, where he held off Scottie Scheffler and Gary Woodland to clinch his first PGA Tour title with a final score of 20-under. The 'Sorry' singer FaceTimed Lee after the victory and posted a congratulatory message on Instagram. The 'Chef' later reposted it on his own Instagram story, captioning it, "J frickin B." In an interview with the PGA Australia, Lee also shared how both of them are fanboys of each other. "The thing is he (Justin Bieber) fanboys kind of over me, but obviously I'm fanboying over him," Lee told the Australian media four months ago. The 27-year-old also revealed how Bieber would share videos of his swing, and he would critique it. The recent snaps reveal how fast their relationship has grown from there.
