Miley Cyrus said that her new TikTok video series, inspired by her latest single “Used to Be Young,” will be “looking back on my life and sharing untold stories.” In an Instagram post, the 30-year-old Cyrus revealed the new TikTok series will “start at the beginning” of her story in 1992, and trace the course of her three decades of life, including offering new details about some of her most memorable moments.

Cyrus wrote in the post’s caption: “Sometimes it feels like my life started when Hannah Montana was born. But before Hannah there was Miley. My fantasy was to light up the world with laughter, music & iconic moments that last beyond my lifetime. Decades later I continue to fulfill my purpose because of the love provided by my fans.” She urges fans to “follow along on my TikTok page” to catch new updates in the series.

In the first clip posted on TikTok, Cyrus said, “I am going to start at the beginning of my life in 1992 until now in 2023 and we’re gonna go through the last 30 years. I got nowhere to be, b—-.”  And in the most recent clip (Part 37) posted on Sept. 6, Miley discusses the dissolution of her marriage to actor Liam Hemsworth. Cyrus and Hemsworth met while filming her movie The Last Song in 2010 and got married in 2018, splitting in August 2019 after less than one year as man and wife. Miley revealed that their decision to marry was “me and Liam’s commitment to being married, just really… came from of course a place of love first because we’d been together for 10 years. Cyrus later shared the moments when she decided that the marriage “was no longer going to work in my life,” saying: “That was another moment when the work, the performance, the character came first … the human comes first.”

Bleecker Street debuted the first trailer for the romantic-comedy What Happens Later, featuring Meg Ryan and David Duchovny. Ryan co-wrote and directed What Happens Later, her first film since directing and starring in the 2015 movie Ithaca.

What Happens Later is based on Steven Dietz’s play ‘Shooting Star.’  In the film, Willa (Ryan) and Bill (Duchovny) are a former couple who unexpectedly reunite after getting snowed in at a regional airport overnight.  An official synopsis reads: “Indefinitely delayed, Willa, a magical thinker, and Bill, a catastrophic one, find themselves just as attracted to and annoyed by one another as they did decades earlier. But as they unpack the riddle of their mutual past and compare their lives to the dreams they once shared, they begin to wonder if their reunion is mere coincidence, or something more enchanted.”

What Happens Later was made to recapture the “cheeky magic of Ryan’s rom-coms of the 90s,” according to the synopsis. Ryan told Entertainment Weekly that rom-coms “really work when the two characters are somehow opposites and yet have a rhythm of intellect and humor and dialogue and banter that sort of indicates their compatibility,” and added: “it’s just been really fun to see David embrace this guy who I don’t think is anything really like David. Whereas the Willa thing I can really relate to. To see him dive into every single scene in the fullest way, he’s funny, and he’s smart, and he’s dear, and irresistible.”

What Happens Later is in theaters Oct. 13.  Take a look at the trailer – here.

Legal documents obtained by People claim “the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken.” Rumors began swirling over the weekend about an impending divorce between the couple after TMZ reported that Jonas allegedly hired divorce attorneys.

Jonas, 34, filed divorce papers on Sept. 5 in Miami Dade County, Fla., according to online records. The documents ask for “shared parental responsibility” between himself and Sophie, 27, and said a “parenting plan should be established” for their children. Jonas also asked the court to uphold their prenuptial agreement from April 2019.

The couple first met in 2016, with Sophie sharing with Harper’s Bazaar UK in 2019: “We had a lot of mutual friends, and they’d been trying to introduce us for a long time. We were following each other on Instagram and he direct-messaged me one fine day, out of the blue.” Jonas and Turner were engaged in 2017 after a year together, and officially married in Las Vegas in 2019 at A Little White Wedding Chapel. One month later, Jonas and Turner held their official ceremony and celebration at Le Château de Tourreau in Sarrians, France.

The couple share two children: Willa, 3, and a 14-month old daughter whose name hasn’t been revealed publicly, but was listed as “D.J.” in Jonas’s court documents.
