Miley Cyrus Just Made An Unexpected Admission About Her Dua Lipa Duet
In 2020, Miley and Dua – both riding high off the song Midnight Sky and the album Future Nostalgia, respectively – teamed up for the duet Prisoner, which went on to appear on the former's Plastic Hearts.
However, looking back five years later, the Flowers singer admitted she's not sure the Dua duet really fit in with the rest of her material at the time.
During a career retrospective interview on the podcast Every Single Album, Miley was asked 'why the fuck' Dua ever wound up on Plastic Hearts, to which the former Disney star admitted: 'It wasn't my idea.'
'No shade to Dua but Prisoner just isn't cohesive with the album,' she claimed, adding that Dua 'would have been much better on something in Endless Summer Vacation', the album which spawned the hits Flowers, River and Used To Be Young.
'She would've been great on Wildcard or River,' Miley added, naming Endless Summer Vacation cuts that she thinks her fellow Grammy winner's vocals would have suited.
Prisoner peaked at number eight in the UK, sparking comparisons with Pat Benatar and Blondie from some critics, and ended up being included on the re-released version of Dua's Brit Award-winning album Future Nostalgia.
Interestingly, despite Miley's assertion she meant 'no shade' to the British singer, her comments come as fans have speculated that a song on her most recent album Something Beautiful is a diss at Dua.
On the track Every Girl You've Ever Loved (which happens to feature a spoken-word section from supermodel Naomi Campbell), lyrics refer to a girl who 'has the perfect scent', 'speaks the perfect French' and 'can dance the night away' without ever 'breaking a sweat'.
Some fans felt this was a deliberate reference to Dua, who is the face of an Yves Saint Laurent perfume, sang in French on the Angèle collaboration Fever and was nominated for an Oscar for her Barbie cut Dance The Night.

'Ironheart' Has Not Yet Been Renewed for Another Season
Season 1 of Marvel's Ironheart will come to a close tonight on Disney+, closing a chapter on one of the MCU's newest additions. But this might not be the last we see of the titular hero. Ahead of the final episode, fans may be wondering where Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne)'s journey will go next. Here's what we know about the future of Ironheart so far. As of right now, Ironheart has not been renewed for a second season. In an interview with The Direct, Thorne was asked about the potential future she sees for her character if the show were to come back. 'Actually, don't think I can even say that without spoiling everything,' she said. 'I would like to see her explore the full range of other options presented to her in season 1.' She also spoke about Riri's character development over the first season, which could lead to an interesting storyline for season 2. 'Her mind is opened about what actually exists in the world, realizing that it's so much bigger than what she thought, even in her hometown, that things are so much bigger and there's a lot more going on than she ever cared to know or to understand. So now that she does know what's out there, what does she choose? I think that would be pretty cool.' It would be expected that series regulars would return, including Thorne, Anthony Ramos, Lyric Ross, Manny Montana, Matthew Elam, Jaren Merrell, and Zoe Terakes. Additional cast members, if the show were to be renewed, have yet to be announced. This story will be updated.

Tons of young people are still sharing streaming passwords despite Hollywood's crackdown
If you're under 30, there's a good chance you're borrowing someone's streaming service password. A Pew survey shows many streaming moochers are hiding, despite crackdowns from Netflix and Disney. This means there are tons of freeloaders left for major media companies to target. Young people are avoiding the streaming password-sharing crackdown — so far. For Hollywood, that's both an annoyance and an opportunity. Just under half of American adults younger than 30 are borrowing a streaming service log-in from someone living outside of their house, a new survey from Pew Research Center shows. That 47% figure doesn't include those passwords within their house (or those who are lying). Password sharing is less rampant among older generations. Only 26% of 30- to 49-year-olds say they freeload for streamers. And 15% of those over 50 said they're using someone else's password to watch shows and movies. Netflix pioneered the clampdown on freeloaders to great success. After rolling out "paid sharing," it boasted a banner year of subscriber growth in 2024 that was capped off by its best-ever quarter. Media giants like Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery followed in Netflix's footsteps with Disney+ and HBO Max, though they're taking a gradual approach, likely to avoid generating mass outrage. Disney CEO Bob Iger said in early May that nudging moochers into paying has paid off by jumpstarting streaming subscriber growth. NBC may do the same with Peacock, based on warnings it sent freeloaders, but Paramount and Apple haven't hopped on board yet. Pew's survey suggests there's still much more room for streamers to crack down. And while some in the younger cohort could refuse to pay, either out of spite or because they don't watch enough to justify their own subscription, password sharers who do pay up could gravitate toward the cheaper ad-tier. That would be a win for streamers, considering that young people are the most valuable for advertisers, since their buying habits aren't set in stone. So, for those who are still streaming on someone else's account, beware — because Hollywood's password-sharing crackdown likely won't end anytime soon.

The Top 10 Most-Viewed SS26 Menswear Shows on Vogue Runway
This article originally appeared on Vogue Business. To receive the Vogue Business newsletter, sign up here. The results of this menswear season's top 10 most-viewed shows list on Vogue Runway are in. Every season, this list acts as a failsafe indicator of which collections have captured the attention of those who are more interested in the clothes than the front rows. As ever, the list is ordered according to the amount of views each collection logged on Vogue Runway within its first 48 hours of publication. And as ever, this season has thrown up a few surprises. There are four new entries on the list this season, of which only one – Yves Saint Laurent – we expected to see. That reliably blockbuster show has been held outside of the mainstream menswear calendar for the last few seasons, and its in-season arrival on the Paris schedule made it an almost certainty to figure here. The three other new entries include the oldest designer on the list, the second youngest designer on the list, and the longest serving non-founder creative director in all of fashion. This season, eight of the top 10 collections were presented in Paris, with only two in Milan. That will be catnip to those who contend that Milan lacks 'energy'. And only one of the collections on the list was not presented on the runway, which will cheer those who relish watching fashion theatre in its purest form. Two of the collections were debut shows for creative directors at well-established houses. And you needn't need to be a fashion clairvoyant to divine which show, this season, would be the most-viewed. Haute-bourgeois boys in leather pants plus the hottest bags in the business make Hermès an irresistible viewing pleasure for many among menswear's cognoscenti. So it's little surprise to see French luxury's most serene heritage marque sliding back into this season's top 10, making it the first of the list's new entries. And without wishing to spoil the reveal at the other end of this list, there is a satisfying symmetry to the fact that Véronique Nichanian is the longest-serving creative director in all of fashion (menswear included). Ravissante! Hermès SS26 Men's. Photo: Daniele Oberrauch/ Second new entry Grace Wales Bonner is also the second youngest designer on this list. This season, she was presenting a collection that marked her 10th anniversary as one of the most precarious of entities in fashion: a London-based indie. In her review, my Vogue Runway colleague Sarah Mower described as a 'total disgrace' the fact that GWB has not yet been tapped to be creative director of another brand or house, and that reading is fair enough; however, another way of seeing it might be that Wales Bonner is simply too self-determined to let herself be pinned down. Her three-pronged combo of artistic practice, conscious menswear opulence and hit Adidas output seems to have generated a stable and self-sustaining business ecosystem that she's thriving in. Chapeau!
