It started with a surprise – and a realisation.

When Selena Gomez popped up during a recent moment tied to Miley Cyrus’ world, it hit differently than expected.

“I love Selena, but I didn’t know how much our friendship meant to the fans,” the Flowers hitmaker admitted – one of many reflections as she looks back on her Disney-era roots and everything that followed.

Now, as Hannah Montana turns 20, Cyrus isn’t distancing herself from the past – she’s embracing it.

“A lot of artists feel like to become the next version of themselves, they have to leave something behind,” she said. “But I’d rather be more like a gorgeous patchwork blanket.”

That philosophy explains everything – from revisiting old songs (“It ain’t broke — don’t fix it!”) to casually manifesting a reunion special with a little help from Dolly Parton.

“She told me that if you want something to happen, promote it before it exists.”

And if you’re wondering whether she’d rewrite any of her headline-making moments? Not a chance.

“Regret is so in the past and pointless.”

The Wrecking Ball crooner also opened up about finding clarity through sobriety: “Now, through a sober lens, I can have compassion and understanding for myself.”

From Disney fame to global superstardom, the journey hasn’t been clean – but it’s been real.

And maybe that’s why moments like her bond with Selena Gomez still resonate. Not because they’re perfect – but because they lasted.

Hailee Steinfeld shared a glimpse into her pre-parenthood life after skipping Oscars where her movie Sinners was nominated in many categories and won.

The 29-year-old actress penned down the current status of her and husband Josh Allen’s preparations to welcome their first child, in the latest update through her newsletter Beau Society.

The Dickinson star revealed that her mom Cheri Steinfeld planned a baby shower for the mom-to-be, inviting all her closest friends to Hailee’s “most comfortable place – her backyard.”

Hailee noted that there was “no baby shower theme, per se, but a subtle nursery rhyme thread was woven throughout the decor,” adding that nursery books were spread out everywhere.

“Everyone brought a book, so this baby is building quite the little library,” the newsletter read, which came out on Tuesday, March 17.

The Love Myself hitmaker also shared that in a very “full-circle moment,” her mom had arranged a knitting station for the guests to make personalised gifts for the little one. It was a full-circle moment because Hailee’s mom taught her knitting when she was working on her first movie.

The baby shower activity “reopened a fun hobby” for the expecting mom.

While Hailee has been busy with the baby shower, her resounding absence was felt during the Oscars on the weekend as Sinners won the awards.

Her Sinners costar Michael B. Jordan, who won the Best Actor Award, thanked Hailee in his acceptance speech and told the audience she has missed the ceremony because she is preparing to welcome her baby.
