Miley Cyrus heckled into singing by fans who paid $800 for film premiere: 'We thought this was a concert!'New Foto - Miley Cyrus heckled into singing by fans who paid $800 for film premiere: 'We thought this was a concert!'

Aeon/GC Images A major mix-up nearly turnedMiley Cyrus'big film screening into an all-out riot. The Disney alum showed up to celebrate theTribeca Festivalpremiere ofSomething Beautiful— the visual album that accompanies her new record of the same name — on Friday, and after the movie played, the sold-out event culminated with a discussion featuring Cyrus, her producer Panos Cosmatos, and collaborators Jacob Bixenman and Brendan Walter, who co-directed the project with her. However, the conversation was repeatedly interrupted when disgruntled fans kept yelling for Cyrus to sing. "We thought this was a concert!" one attendee screamed out in the middle of the Q&A, perfan-recorded footage. "We paid $800!" Another audience member shouted, "Are you actually gonna sing?!" Dia Dipasupil/Getty In video of the talkback, Cyrus appears visibly shocked by the demand as the heckling from the crowd intensified. Later, one attendee got even more specific with their request, yelling, "Sing 'The Climb'!" Cyrus' reaction was smooth, with the pop star coyly replying, "You have to start it." The "Flowers" singer then gave the people what they wanted, delivering a few verses of the 2009 hit fromHannah Montana: The Movie. The a cappella performance quickly turned into a sing-along as the crowd joined in. Representatives for Cyrus and the Tribeca Festival did not immediately respond toEntertainment Weekly's request for comment. Afterwards, the heckling fans were criticized on social media as Cyrus' supporters came to her defense. "They thought they were going to the Tribeca Film Festival for a concert?!?!?" one commenter questioned on X. Another complained, "Those 'fans' are soooo rude and entitled. They should be ashamed." Others praised Cyrus for giving in and singing the song. "She handled this with such class and grace. Shame on them," an X user wrote. Emma McIntyre/Getty Several of the aggrieved fans in attendance also took to social media to defend themselves, with many claiming that they purchased tickets for the premiere onresale platformsthat advertised the event as a concert. One fanposted a screenshotof a VividSeats link that said "Miley Cyrus & 2025Endless Summer VacationTour." But Cyrus has not announced a tour to accompany her latest release, explaining that theSomething Beautifulmovie was her way of bringing the new album to her fans. "The film is my way of touring," the Disney alumtold Zane Lowe in May. She added that she'd originally planned to perform in ambitious locations worldwide untilHarrison Fordtalked her out of it.

"I show him my idea ofSomewhere Beautiful, which is performing in all the forests and at the pyramids and all these things," she recalled. "He goes, 'You really want to go and set up in a forest? And do what?' He's like, 'You going to bring a crew? ... Looks expensive.'" Cyrus took the advice to heart, later telling her team, "We're not performing in the forest anymore. Harrison Ford made a lot of sense." The albumSomething Beautifulis out now. Its film of the same name hits theaters for one night only on June 12. Read the original article onEntertainment Weekly

'Not just a party:' World Pride celebrations end with defiant politics on displayNew Foto - 'Not just a party:' World Pride celebrations end with defiant politics on display

Washington (AP) — After the raucousrainbow-hued festivitiesof Saturday's parade, the final day ofWorld Pride 2025in the nation's capital kicked off on a more downbeat note. Thousands gathered under grey skies Sunday morning at the Lincoln Memorial for a rally and protest march, as the community gathers its strength for a looming fight under PresidentDonald Trump'ssecond administration. "This is not just a party," Ashley Smith, board president of Capital Pride Alliance. "This is a rally for our lives." Smith acknowledged that international attendance numbers for the bi-annual World Pride were measurably down, with many potential attendees avoiding travel to the U.S. due to either fear of harassment or in protest of Trump's policies. "That should disturb us and mobilize us," Smith said. Protesters cheered on LGBTQ+ activists taking the stage while waving both traditional Pride flags and flags representing transgender, bisexual, intersex and other communities. Many had rainbow glitter and rhinestones adorning their faces. They held signs declaring "Fight back," "Gay is good," "Ban bombs not bathrooms" and "We will not be erased." Trump'scampaign against transgenderprotections and oft-stated antipathy for drag shows have set the community on edge, with some hoping to see a renewed wave of street politics in response. "Trans people just want to be loved. Everybody wants to live their own lives and I don't understand the problem with it all," said Tyler Cargill, who came wearing an elaborate costume with a hat topped by a replica of the U.S. Capitol building. Wes Kincaid drove roughly 6 hours from Charlotte, North Carolina to attend this year. Sitting on a park bench near the reflecting pond, Kincaid said he made a point of attending this year, "because it's more important than ever to show up for our community." Reminders of the cuts to federal government programs were on full display, Sunday. One attendee waved a pole bearing a massive rainbow flag along with a large USAID flag; another held a "Proud gay federal worker" sign; and a third held an umbrella with the logos of various federal program facing cuts — including the PBS logo. Trump's anti-trans rhetoric had fueled fears of violence or protests targeting World Pride participants; at one point earlier this spring, rumors circulated that the Proud Boys were planning to disrupt this weekend's celebrations. Those concerns prompted organizers to install security fencing around the entire two-day street party on a multi-block stretch of Pennsylvania Avenue. But so far, the only clear act of aggression has been thevandalizing of a queer barlast week. Late Saturday night, there was a pair of violent incidents near Dupont Circle — one of the epicenters of the World Pride celebrations. Two juveniles were stabbed and a man was shot in the foot in separate incidents. The Metropolitan Police Department says it is not clear if either incident was directly related to World Pride. A cold rain began falling around noon Sunday as the rally speakers cut short their comments and prepared to march. Some attendees filtered away while others huddled under umbrellas and ponchos. "Rain will not stop us, and after rain comes rainbows," said one speaker from the stage. The speeches didn't just target the Trump administration or the Republican party. Some turned their ire on Democratic politicians, who they say have wilted under the pressure of Republican control of the White House and both houses of Congress. "We have to call out people who have abandoned our movement," said Tyler Hack of the Christopher Street Project. "Being a Democrat is more than carrying the party affiliation," Hack added. "It's about unapologetic support for the trans community." While the main march headed toward the U.S. Capitol, a separate group splintered off and headed toward the White House, unfurling a large "TRUMP MUST GO NOW" banner. Those who stayed to brave the weather said their presence amid less-than-ideal circumstances was vital. "People are still out here, despite the rain, despite their exhaustion," said Gillian Brewer, a university student studying physics from Silver Spring, Maryland. "We're not going anywhere." Brewer expressed some frustration that the turnout for Sunday's protest march was lower than for theWorld Pride paradethe day before, which she decided to skip. "This is more important," Brewer added. "You can party all you want but at the end of the day, the protest is why we can party." Natalie Farmer, who traveled from San Diego with her wife, attributed the difference in numbers between the march and Saturday's parade to people being tired from celebrating the previous night. "Some of us have to do the rallying to keep the party going," Farmer said. "We all fight in different ways."

BOULDER, Colo. − The Boulder Jewish Festival was kicking off Sunday amid heightened security at the site where15 people were injured in a fiery attack on a rally demanding the return of Israeli hostagesfrom Gaza. This is the 30th anniversary of the festival, one of the longest-running Jewish cultural festivals in the nation. "We look forward to sharing this day of resilience, culture and community solidarity in downtown Boulder, exactly one week after an antisemitic terror attack shook the Jewish community," organizers said in a statement, promising "enhanced" security protocols. Organizers said they are working closely with Boulder Police Department, JEWISHColorado and state officialsto ensure safety. "These are precautionary measures and not based on any specific threat," the statement said. "The top priority is creating a secure, welcoming space where everyone can gather in solidarity and celebration." The festival will include a solidarity walk with members of Run For Their Lives, the group that sponsored the walk that drew the attack June 1. The walk will conclude with a "powerful, community-led program" featuring speakers including some from Run For Their Lives Boulder. Among them will be Moshe Emilio Lavi, whose brother-in-law, Omri Miran, 49, was kidnapped by Hamas on Oct. 7 and remains in captivity. No one died in the June 1 attack, but the wounded include eight females and seven males, ages 25 to 88, police said. The suspect,Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian native who's been held on a $10 million bond, faces more than 100 criminal counts including multiple counts of attempted murder. "The Jewish community is deeply grateful for the outpouring of support from near and far − local and global, interfaith, young and old," the statement said. "All are welcome, and we hope to have a tremendous turnout and show of solidarity." This article originally appeared on USA TODAY:Boulder Jewish Festival kicks off amid tight security after attack

Joan Crawford Left a 'Scary' Impression on Mia Farrow: 'I Got a Strange Vibe from Her'New Foto - Joan Crawford Left a 'Scary' Impression on Mia Farrow: 'I Got a Strange Vibe from Her'

In a recent conversation forInterviewmagazine,Mia Farrowopened up to actorCole Escola, 38, about some unusual encounters from her early Hollywood days – particularly with the late screen icon. As Escola shared their admiration for Crawford's filmOurDancing Daughters, the 80-year-old didn't hold back. "She's scary," Farrow revealed. "And she was scary in person as well." American Broadcasting Companies via Getty During her teenage years, while filming the TV version ofPeyton Placeon the Fox lot in California, the actress described a strange encounter with Crawford. At the time, the Academy Award winner – nearly four decades Farrow's senior – was married to Alfred Steele, the then-president of Pepsi-Cola. According to Farrow, she began behaving in ways that struck the young actress as deeply odd – leaving a lasting impression that clearly lingers to this day. "For whatever reason, she started sending a whole refrigerator of Pepsi Cola for my trailer 'cause I was in a TV series called Peyton Place," she explained. "I don't particularly like Pepsi Cola, but a lot of Pepsi Cola kept coming to my trailer, more than anyone would ever want," Farrow added. "And then she came over to see me, and I got a strange vibe from her."

Away from the set, Farrow also had a few weird moments with the legendary actress in New York at her mother, Maureen O'Sullivan's, house. "I hung up people's coats for my mom when they came into the house. And I hung her coat and out falls a flask of alcohol," she recalls. "She grabbed it like that, and she put it in her handbag. She drank quite a lot." Archive Photos/Getty Following that, 17-year-old Farrow was invited to Crawford's apartment in the city. Thinking it was a party, she agreed to go. "But I arrived, and I was the only one there," she told Escola. Everything in the apartment was green, bathed in low, moody lighting. There were no other guests. Feeling extremely uncomfortable, young Farrow made up an on-the-spot excuse to leave. "I just made up a lie that I wasn't feeling very well and I didn't want to give her any diseases," she shared. "I think I said the word 'diseases' as I walked out of the room. I was scared of Ms. Crawford." Read the original article onPeople
