Miley Cyrus Shares Sweet Memory of Father in Reaction to Hollywood Walk of Fame Star
Miley Cyrus is having a phenomenal year. Following the release of her ninth studio album, the heralded Something Beautiful, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce announced that the Grammy winner would be getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The news is fitting, given that her latest LP features the glitzy track 'Walk of Fame.' More from Rolling Stone Watch Miley Cyrus and Beyoncé Perform 'II Most Wanted' for the First Time Miley Cyrus on How She Fixed Her 'Messy' Family Relationships After 'Dark' Decade Miley Cyrus Says Disney Stopped Her From Singing 'Hannah Montana' Songs, 'Not Like I Wanted To' In response to the announcement, Cyrus took to social media to reflect on the full circle moment, sharing a memory of her father, Billy Ray Cyrus. 'Honored to be receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,' wrote the singer. 'When I first came to LA from Nashville as a little girl, my family would stay at a hotel on Hollywood Blvd, and I would go on late night walks with my dad when no one would recognize him. We'd have the gift shops to ourselves & buy knock off Oscars and Marilyn Monroe merchandise.' 'To now be cemented on this legendary boulevard, surrounded by the icons who inspired me, feels like a dream,' she continued. 'This moment will live forever, thank you to everyone in my life who made it possible. I am grateful to share this star with you.' Cyrus shared the caption alongside a clip from 'Walk of Fame.' The duet features Brittany Howard, while the video for the track is shot on the star-studded Los Angeles sidewalks. A Rolling Stone review of her new LP praised the ambitious offering.

The feds flubbed it with Sean Combs — and he's sure to end up a martyr now
After nearly two months of jaw-dropping testimony, Sean 'Diddy' Combs is skating on the most serious charges against him. It took jurors 14 hours of deliberation to deliver a profound statement: Federal prosecutors didn't provide enough evidence to convince them that Combs was a sex trafficker who sat atop a ruthless criminal organization. They did get him on transporting individuals to engage in prostitution. But, in my book, the 55-year-old Combs is still a monster of epic proportions. Advertisement 6 Sean Combs was acquitted of the most serious charges — racketeering and sex trafficking — against him in the federal trial that ended this week. REUTERS To recap: The fallen hip-hop mogul is a despicable coward who terrorized and intimidated women, using them as objects in his grotesque, baby-oil-soaked live-action pornos. And, as video showed, he beat the living daylights out of a girlfriend who managed to get on his bad side. Not that Combs has a good side — despite the reputation he tried to cultivate by crowning himself Hollywood's host with the most, throwing annual star-studded white parties for soulless celebrities. Not to mention all those fluffy interviews with hosts like Ellen Degeneres and Jimmy Kimmel, and the red carpets he walked wearing natty, tailored tuxedos and flashy watches. He was nothing more than a low-life cosplaying as an old-school gentleman. Advertisement Combs preyed on women who were much smaller than he and much more vulnerable. In some cases, women who depended on him for their career. But, in trying to bring him down, federal prosecutors took a massive swing and had a big ol' miss — a rare one for the Southern District of New York. As the trial played out, it felt like they were trying to make a five-course feast out of breadcrumbs and scraps. They overpromised and underdelivered. 6 The prosecution's star witness, Cassie Ventura, said that Combs beat her and forced her to perform in 'freak offs.' FilmMagic Advertisement The trumped-up charges, initially brought by now-ex-U.S. Attorney Damian Williams — who also indicted Mayor Eric Adams and, according to former colleagues, seemed to harbor his own political ambitions — did allow the full extent of Combs' depravity and violence to become a matter of public record. There were more celebrity name drops than a Grammy ceremony. Not to mention the most raw, lurid details about his bizarre bedroom proclivities, including drug-fueled sex marathons known as 'freak offs' which are, sadly, now a regular part of common vernacular. The most difficult memories to shake will be his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura's war stories — which she delivered on the stand while nine months pregnant and nearly seven years from Combs' vicious grip. 6 Sean Combs' children (including sons Justin, left, and Christian) were a constant presence during their father's sensational trial. REUTERS Advertisement She graphically described beat-downs from Combs that were so brutal, she had to convalesce in private. In one instance, Ventura said he kicked her in the face during a car ride from hell and later had her whisked away to the London Hotel to recover — despite her pleas to leave. It all made for sensational copy and salacious headlines, but it wasn't enough to put Combs away for good. This entire costly event was tantamount to what legal expert Neama Rahmani told The Post was the 'most expensive prostitution trial in American history' and a 'tremendous loss' for the prosecution. Not to mention, a circus. 6 In 2017, Cassie Ventura and Combs attended the Met Gala. Getty Images 6 For over two decades, Sean Combs was the toast of celebrity circles. TheEllenShow/YouTube It's unclear what kind of time Combs will actually serve, but he's facing a mountain of civil suits. He deserves to sink into the shadows of society. However, he'll likely have achieved martyr status for some — all for being prosecuted and persecuted for his 'swinger' lifestyle. Even outside the courthouse in downtown Manhattan, supporters celebrated by squirting baby oil at each other and dancing suggestively. Advertisement Given that his lone courtroom prop was the Bible, I predict he'll emerge at some point — hawking fake contrition and humility like another commodity. Maybe he'll even wear the collection of avuncular crewneck sweaters he sported during the trial. He'll say that he mistreated and beat women because he suffered from the holy trinity of deflection: mental illness, sex and drug addiction. It's not like much of this is a surprise. Combs has a track record of antisocial behavior, dating back to an infamous 1999 nightclub shooting in which he was charged with weapons possession but later acquitted. (His protege rapper Shyne was convicted of the shooting and later claimed he was 'set up to be the fall guy.') 6 A heavily pregnant Cassie Ventura provided jaw-dropping testimony about alleged physical abuse during her the trial of Combs, her ex-boyfriend. BACKGRID For decades, Combs ruled an industry that not only ran on misogyny but explicitly bragged about it against the backdrop of a funky beat. Advertisement There was a great irony to the start of Combs' downfall. Ventura testified that he had threatened to release videos of her in freak-offs with male escorts, and she was petrified that he'd follow through with it. In the end, it was Combs who was done in by a video — of him beating Ventura in 2016, as she tried to flee a freak-off at a Los Angeles hotel. Her 2023 lawsuit and allegations of sexual violence, which he quickly settled, set his legal troubles into motion. Then the damning video was leaked, bolstering her claims of brutality. I hope that video is his legacy and overshadows those not-guilty verdicts.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs' fans drench themselves in baby oil to celebrate rapper's trial verdict
The bombshell verdict in Sean "Diddy" Combs' criminal trial has sparked an unexpected reemergence of baby oil among fans. Ardent supporters of the embattled hip-hop mogul gathered outside Manhattan court on July 2 to celebrate the conclusion of Combs' nearly two-month trial, according to footage shared on social media. The Grammy-winning rapper, 55, was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution but acquitted on the most serious charge of racketeering and both sex trafficking counts. After learning of his partial acquittal, Combs clasped his hands together and raised them in a prayer motion toward the jury. Some of Combs' fans expressed enthusiasm by covering themselves in baby oil, a controversial item referenced throughout the sweeping federal sex-crimes case. Baby oil and lubricant, specifically over 1,000 bottles, were among the paraphernalia discovered during the federal raids of Combs' homes in March 2024, U.S. attorney Damian Williams revealed in a September 2024 press conference. In one clip, shared by news outlet TMZ and X user CultureClips, a female fan wearing a blue wig could be heard chanting, "I want the baby oil!" while she jumped around in excitement. In another video, shared by X user Katherine Harris, a shirtless male fan screamed "More oil!" as he reacted to the verdict news with other spectators. Baby oil was among the paraphernalia discovered during the federal raids of Combs' homes in March 2024, U.S. attorney Damian Williams revealed in a September 2024 press conference. The items included multiple AR-15 guns, large-capacity magazines, "evidence" of Combs' alleged sex crimes and over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant. Diddy fans celebrate his 'not guilty' verdict outside the courthouse by pouring baby oil on each other 😭😭 According to Combs' original indictment, the baby oil bottles found in his homes were used during the hip-hop mogul's alleged "freak off" parties, which were described as "elaborate and produced sex performances" that involved sex workers. Other items included multiple AR-15 guns, large-capacity magazines and additional "evidence" of Combs' alleged sex crimes. Fans' emphatic celebration of Combs' verdict mirrors similar behavior throughout the high-profile trial, which ignited a ferocious media circus among journalists, social media influencers and zealous supporters of Combs. Inside the court's overflow rooms, where many reporters and onlookers watched the trial unfold on midsize TV screens, fans' antics went largely unchecked by security, as they cackled, booed and hissed profanities when the rapper's accusers took the stand. Social media slams Diddy verdict: 'A nasty precedent' Much like the verdict in Combs' case, the court of public opinion has been split on the rapper's legal fate. Unlike Combs' oil-lathered fans outside the courthouse, many on social media expressed their disappointment at the partial acquittal in Combs' verdict. Some A-list critics of the disgraced music mogul, including 50 Cent and Danity Kane singer Aubrey O'Day, also criticized the ruling. "The Diddy verdict is going to set a nasty precedent and trend for what people (especially those with wealth & power) believe they can get away with, when it comes to sex, domestic violence, (and) abuse crimes," one X user wrote. "And that's honestly, the most terrifying part of this entire case." 10 bingeable memoirs to check out: Celebrities tell all about aging, marriage and Beyoncé Some social media users also shared their dismay at the significance of the verdict for victims of sexual abuse. "The verdict for Diddy is a message to all women that they are not believed. Sorry to the women out there," an X user wrote. "The victims especially, they deserved better."
