Miley Cyrus admits the 'terrible habit' she learned from Dolly Parton Miley Cyrus revealed that she adopted a strategy from her godmother, Dolly Parton, by promoting a "Hannah Montana" 20th-anniversary special before it existed. The singer explained that Parton taught her to "promote something before it exists," a tactic that led to the creation of the milestone project. Cyrus shared the insight during an interview with Variety, emphasizing how the advice helped her navigate the entertainment industry. "I learned this terrible habit – but I actually think it was good advice – from Dolly," Cyrus said. "She told me that if you want something to happen, promote it before it exists. Then no one can say no." She described how she began pushing for the special despite its nonexistence, a move that ultimately paid off. Parton, whom Cyrus refers to as her godmother, has long been a mentor and role model. Cyrus, who rose to fame at 13 as Miley Stewart on the Disney Channel series "Hannah Montana," now aims to support younger artists facing similar challenges. Recently, she reached out to Chappell Roan, a new-age pop star who publicly discussed struggles with fan harassment. "I never bow down to bullies. Anytime I feel like somebody is being bullied, I feel very protective of them," Cyrus told Variety. "When I see people struggling, I’m always the first one to ask, ‘Can I get in contact with them?’ I’d like to show artists how they can have a balanced life." Cyrus has embraced her "Hannah Montana" persona again as she celebrates the show’s 20th anniversary. She reflected on the experience of being a teenager in the spotlight, acknowledging the awkwardness of navigating fame while growing up.#miley_cyrus #billy_ray_cyrus #chappell_roan #dolly_parton #hannah_monstana
Doja Cat reveals BPD diagnosis while defending Chappell Roan Doja Cat opened up about her recent mental health struggles, including a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD), in a new TikTok post responding to Chappell Roan’s recent confrontation with paparazzi in Paris. The rapper shared her experience of pretending to be happy to maintain appearances, a practice she said has taken a toll on her well-being. She revealed she has been living with BPD for years, describing it as an “agonizing condition” that has required long-term therapy. BPD, as defined by the Mayo Clinic, is characterized by mood swings, impulsivity, fear of abandonment, unstable relationships, and issues with self-image. Doja Cat mentioned she has been in therapy for years but emphasized that her treatment for BPD would take eight years to fully address. She expressed admiration for Roan’s ability to be honest and assertive in public, calling her “comfortable” in her own skin. “Chappell can be uncomfortable, comfortably, in front of people, and protect herself and be honest,” Doja Cat said. “I had to learn how to be honest. I had to learn how to be honest with myself. I lied to myself for years, for most of my life. I love that she can do that without hurting people. She hasn’t hurt one person by being herself.” Doja Cat also defended Roan’s right to have an “attitude,” suggesting that the singer’s confidence is a positive trait. “Let her have an attitude, because I would love to have one as well, and I f---ing will, hopefully in the future,” she concluded. The article notes that Entertainment Weekly reached out to representatives for Roan and Doja Cat for comment but did not receive responses.#chappell_roan #doja_cat #mayo_clinic #boy_george #entertainment_weekly
