Ryan Seacrest Once Warned Miley Cyrus About Justin Gaston Relationship
Back in 2008, Miley Cyrus — then 15 — was romantically linked to 20-year-old Justin Gaston, who was a contestant on the competitive reality show Nashville Star, which was hosted by Miley's dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, among others.
While Justin denied being Miley's boyfriend, the pair were pictured closely together numerous times, sometimes holding hands. Multiple sources claimed that the pair were an item and that they eventually split up in June 2009.
On one notable occasion, Miley discussed her apparent relationship with Justin on Ryan Seacrest's radio show, after the host asked the Disney star about the speculation.
'I keep seeing you walking around with a guy that I think is too old for you,' Ryan told Miley, who retorted: 'Well…I think you're too old!' To this, Ryan replied, 'I am too old! I guarantee you, I'm too old.'
Ryan later asked Miley, 'Are you going out with Justin?' to which she replied, 'Why do you want to know? Do you have a crush on me?' Ryan said, 'I can't have a crush on you. I have a crush on your mother,' and Miley hit back, 'Ew! Stop it!'
Ryan continued to ask Miley about the romance rumors, to which she said, 'Maybe, maybe not.' Still, the host didn't drop the subject. 'Let's just talk about rules,' he said. 'You're 15, gonna be 16 in a second. And this guy's 20, right? So, are you allowed to date him? If you are?'
Miley replied, 'Yes. But I just think that right now everything is, like, really good. So I haven't been really answering the question much because we're just really happy with the way that everything's worked out. And he's really been a really great friend.'
Miley went on to describe Justin as a 'really great Christian guy,' stating that they'd both been through similar hardships and had lots in common. 'He's gone through stuff, and I've gone through stuff… I think it's really awesome that we kind of have that in common, that we can talk about it and we understand,' she said.
This interview clip resurfaced online this week, with numerous Reddit users praising Ryan for showing genuine concern towards Miley. 'Ryan was a real one for calling this out,' one popular comment read. 'It seemed like Ryan was genuinely concerned,' someone else pointed out.

‘Predator: Badlands' Joins Disney's San Diego Comic-Con Plans
The hunt will be on at San Diego Comic-Con, where Predator: Badlands will get the spotlight. Per the Hollywood Reporter, the sci-fi film will get a Hall H panel during the convention weekend. It'll be the second big Disney movie of the fall season to make an appearance at the famed Hall, joining October's Tron: Ares. Both films will fill in for a lack of Marvel at this year's convention, and it'll be the Predator franchise's first theatrical movie to hit SDCC since Shane Black's 2018 reboot. (Prey, which premiered at SDCC 2022, sadly never got a theatrical release.) Like with Tron, Predator: Badlands hasn't had much marketing since its initial trailer and poster. The Hall H panel will hopefully feature a new trailer for the film, which centers on Dak (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi), a young Yautja outcast teaming with the android Thia (Elle Fanning) to get back in his clan's good graces by hunting a worthy enemy. Prey director Dan Trachtenberg is back behind the camera for this one, and unlike Prey and this year's Killers of Killers, you'll be able to see Badlands on the big screen. San Diego Comic-Con runs from July 24-27, and Predator: Badlands hits theaters on November 7. While we wait for more info about it, might as well rewatch Prey or Killer of Killers over on Hulu.

Saquon Barkley reveals the sources motivating his drive to succeed
Eagles' All-Pro RB and reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year shares some of his primary motivations. It's pretty impressive to walk into an NFL game, take in the atmosphere, and see the high-profile individuals who are there. Who knew? Many of the athletes, actors, and politicians we admire often find their way to a Philadelphia Eagles game to unwind and have some fun. Maybe competition entertains competitive people. Perhaps people we admire are sometimes fans themselves, but that makes sense. Somewhere, there's an actor who wishes he could perform a reverse hurdle. Somewhere, there's a kid in the backyard, football in hand, and he or she wants to rush for 2,000 yards like Saquon Barkley. Eagles star Saquon Barkley shares his inspiration If Saquon Barkley never played another down for the Philadelphia Eagles, his place in this great organization's history and framework is secure. His first season with the Birds doubles as one of the most riveting in franchise history. Saquon is a Super Bowl champion now. That can never be taken away from him. He's the reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year. He should have been given the MVP trophy. No disrespect is intended to Josh Allen, but somewhere deep down, he has to know that. Nothing we saw during the most recent pro football season compares to what we saw from Saquon. How did he do it? Where does one of the greats draw his inspiration from? Recently, he provided some behind-the-scenes access while hanging out with one of the most popular people in the YouTube golf space, Grant Horvat. He credits his Christian faith, a relationship strengthened by new surroundings. During their chat, Saquon also shared that he, too, is a fan. He revealed that he is a fan of golfing legend and 11-time PGA Tour Player of the Year, Tiger Woods. Studying one of the great athletes of an era has added to his fuel to be the best on the NFL gridiron. "I've been trying to learn so much more about Tiger," Barkley told Grant Horvat via CBS Sports. "I had a really good season last year. But just like how dominant he was, his mentality. So in 2000, [he had an] amazing year. But 1999, he had an amazing year too, right? To be able to stack years like that. There's never been a back that's rushed for 2,000 yards twice, and definitely not back-to-back. Tiger was the man. There's no doubt about it. If one is looking to reach the pinnacle of excellence in their field, he's a great person to look to and study. Perhaps Barkley says it best. I think it's just the confidence. I think when you have the year like I had last year, I'm coming into this season, and to my training,it's not a fluke. I watch film. And, people talk about what I did and what I accomplished, but in my mindset, it should have been even more. When you have that confidence and you play with that swagger." Well said Saquon. Here's to another dominant season in 2025.

Woman Says Husband Is Being 'Gaslit' by His ‘Extremely Nosy' Mom, Who Is Constantly Crossing Boundaries on Her Visits
A woman who recently gave birth says her mother-in-law is gaslighting her husband and being "extremely nosy" In an anonymous Reddit post, she writes that her mother-in-law was insensitive during her hospital stay — and then tried to stay with the couple once she went home Now, she's thinking about going no-contact with her in-lawsA woman says her husband is being "gaslit" by his "extremely nosy" mother — and she's had enough. In a post shared to Reddit, the anonymous woman writes that her mother-in-law "doesn't care two hoots about respecting boundaries," and often eats food off her son's plate, lies down in bed with him with their legs touching, and keeps her toothbrush in the couple's toothbrush holder when she comes to visit. The mother-in-law also criticizes the Reddit user's cooking skills and decorating choices — only to start "crying" when the poster "very politely" asks her to stop. "I had come to terms with the fact that she's a manipulative and stubborn gaslighter," she writes. But things changed after the woman's recent pregnancy, which was "complicated" by a rough delivery. "I developed paralytic ileus after delivery. My mother, my (pregnant) sister were there for me throughout the pregnancy and the hospital stay and my brother was there on phone throughout to uplift my morale," she writes, noting that they helped her deal with doctors and postpartum "blues." While her family provided her with "support, love, and endless care" throughout the process, her mother-in-law and husband only complained. is now available in the Apple App Store!

"She and her son would only talk of food and how the hospital restaurant doesn't have good tasting food," she writes, "and she would prepare food at home and get it daily for [my husband] and they would gorge on food while I would be lying in bed witn an RT tube down my nose and multiple IV lines." "She would talk to her relatives on phone shouting at top voice about how I have 'gas' due to poor eating habits and unnecessarily being kept there," she continues. "Also, she was extremely uncouth and rough with [my baby], shaking him so much while soothing him. I was sooooo scared everytime she lifted him." After she got home from the hospital, the mother-in-law asked to stay with the couple. The poster turned down the offer, only to be inundated with calls and texts asking to see the baby. The mother-in-law also told her son "not to bother about baby duties," because "he has to go to [the] office and needs rest." "Basically she wanted me to break down so that she would swoop in," the woman writes. On top of that, the poster's mother-in-law and sister-in-laws have been guilt-tripping her about her breastfeeding choices. Now, she wants to go no-contact with her in-laws, but is "apprehensive" that her husband is "not thinking straight." Reddit commenters weighed in on the situation, with many telling the woman she needs to distance herself from her husband's family — and maybe even him. "This is where you tell hubby he needs therapy or a divorce lawyer. His choice," one commenter wrote. "Girl you need to stand up for yourself. Firm, calm, firm. This is YOUR baby," another added.
