<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/miley-cyrus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Miley Cyrus</a> reflected on what she called the &#8220;wild&#8221; and &#8220;crazy&#8221; things she&#8217;s done in her past in a new song, titled &#8220;Used To Be Young,&#8221; that dropped Thursday night.
The 30-year-old singer got everyone&#8217;s attention with her social media posts announcing that the new song, that appears to harken back to her country music roots, was officially out.
&#8220;This song is about honoring who we&#8217;ve been, loving who we are &amp; celebrating who we will become,&#8221; Cyrus wrote on <a href="https://twitter.com/MileyCyrus/status/1694922955686293967?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">X</a>.

&#8220;I feel proud when reflecting on my past and joyful when thinking about the future,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I am grateful to my loyal fans who make my dreams a reality daily. I am sincerely thankful for the stability of your steadfast support. This song is for you. Truly, Miley.&#8221;
In the singer&#8217;s post on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CwQLWEzLGFB/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=afc9540f-e7ce-419c-a62b-45d57ed314b1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a>, she elaborated on the song, writing that, &#8220;these lyrics were written almost 2 years ago at the beginning of my ESV. It was at a time I felt misunderstood.&#8221;
&#8220;I have spent the last 18 months painting a sonic picture of my perspective to share with you,&#8221; she added. &#8220;The time has arrived to release a song that I could perfect forever. Although my work is done, this song will continue to write itself everyday. The fact it remains unfinished is a part of its beauty. That is my life at this moment ….. unfinished yet complete. Sincerely, Miley&#8221;
Her <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CwWnXZmA0vR/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posts</a> linked to the video of her wearing a vintage Mickey Mouse T-shirt, a reflection of her days on the Disney Channel, under a sparkling red top. The music video shows the &#8220;Hannah Montana&#8221; star facing the camera as the lighting changes while she appears to mourn that her days as a wild, partying kid are gone.
&#8220;Turns out open bars/Lead to broken hearts/And going way too far,&#8221; Cyrus sings. &#8220;I know I used to be crazy / I know I used to be fun/You say I used to be wild / I say I used to be young.&#8221;
The song coincidentally dropped on the 10th anniversary of two momentous occasions in her career — when she twerked with Robin Thicke during the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards and the release of her song &#8220;Wrecking Ball,&#8221; <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/08/25/miley-cyrus-mourns-wild-days-in-new-song-used-to-be-young/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Page Six</a> noted.

Cyrus was previously married to Liam Hemsworth following the couple&#8217;s ten-year off-and-on relationship after first meeting on the set of their film in 2009 &#8220;The Last Song.&#8221;
They got engaged in 2012 and finally decided to wed in an intimate ceremony with only a small group of close friends. Less than nine months later, reports surfaced that the two were separating, <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/01/13/miley-cyrus-details-liam-hemsworth-marriage-in-new-song-flowers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Page Six</a> noted. A short time later, Hemsworth filed for divorce.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/television">MTV News</a> has closed down after 36 years in operation as its parent company Paramount Global implements mass layoffs.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment">news division</a> of MTV launched in 1987 with “The Week In Rock” featuring host Kurt Loder, who was trending on social media on Wednesday. It aimed to provide entertainment content for anyone looking for an alternative news network focused on music, pop culture, news, and politics.
One of the most viral moments in the network&#8217;s history was during a 1994 town hall about violence in America with then-President Bill Clinton, who admitted to choosing briefs over boxers when an audience member asked about his underwear preference.
&#8220;Mr. President, the world’s dying to know, is it boxers or briefs?&#8221; the woman asked Clinton.
&#8220;Usually briefs,&#8221; Clinton said. &#8220;I can’t believe she did that.&#8221; 
Their exchange became national news at the time. 
The decision to close MTV News comes during a new round of layoffs, which reportedly cut MTV and Showtime’s staff by almost 25%, according to a memo to employees obtained by the Los Angeles Times.
&#8220;This is a tough yet important strategic realignment of our group,&#8221; President of Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios and Paramount Media Networks Chris McCarthy wrote in the memo. &#8220;Through the elimination of some units and by streamlining others, we will be able to reduce costs and create a more effective approach to our business as we move forward.&#8221;
MTV News was much smaller and less popular in recent years than in the 1990s and early 2000s. It was slimmed down in 2017 following a failed campaign to compete with outlets like Vice and Buzzfeed, which have also been struggling lately, per <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/mtv-news-shut-down-paramount-layoffs-kurt-loder-1235483098/">The Hollywood Reporter</a>.
Fans and former employees shared their thoughts about the shuttering of MTV News on social media. 
&#8220;This is a very sad day for a lot of friends and colleagues,&#8221; MTV personality Josh Horowitz said in a <a href="https://twitter.com/joshuahorowitz/status/1656037199517761543">tweet</a>. &#8220;Many great people lost their jobs. I was hired by MTV News 17 years ago. I’m so honored to have been a small part of its history. Wishing the best for the best in the business.&#8221;

&#8220;Wow! MTV News announced it will be shutting down &#8211; literally the end of an era,&#8221; TV host Aliya Jasmine said. &#8220;Huge part of my career was anchoring this iconic show for over a decade… formed me, formed a few generations… wow.&#8221;
&#8220;MTV News got an entire generation of Gen Xers and older millennials to start paying attention to global events, politics, the world. Kurt Loder &amp; the MTV News crew expanded a part of my brain that living in small-town rural America never could,&#8221; Screen Rant’s Alisha Grauso tweeted.

Pennsylvania state troopers initiated a manhunt Sunday for former &#8220;Jackass&#8221; star Brandon &#8220;Bam&#8221; Margera after he allegedly attacked his brother and threatened to kill him and several others, including their father, according to police.   
Margera, 43, who also starred in his own MTV series dubbed &#8220;Viva La Bam,&#8221; faces six misdemeanor charges, including one charge of simple assault, one charge of harassment, and four charges of terroristic threats &#8220;with intention to terrorize another&#8221; a <a href="https://www.pacourts.us/Storage/media/pdfs/20230424/161439-criminalcomplaintmargera.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">criminal complaint</a> reads. 
Around 11:00 a.m., state troopers responded to a domestic disturbance at Margera&#8217;s $ 1.1 million Pocopson Township home, called &#8220;Castle Bam,&#8221; in Chester County after the &#8220;Jackass&#8221; personality allegedly had gotten into an altercation with his brother, Jesse Margera, three hours earlier. According to the complaint, Bam pounded and kicked his brother&#8217;s locked bedroom door and left a signed note threatening Jesse that read, &#8220;If you even f***ing think of calling the police on me I will officially f*** you up.&#8221; 
Jesse, 44, who plays drums for American punk band CKY, told police he eventually walked into the kitchen, where he found Bam urinating in the kitchen sink. The complaint alleges Bam started attacking Jesse in the face and body, leaving visible injuries on his face and right arm.
After the alleged altercation ended between the two brothers, Jesse told police that Bam threatened him, saying, &#8220;I&#8217;ll kill you. I&#8217;ll put a bullet in your head.&#8221; Bam allegedly threatened to &#8220;kill everyone in the house,&#8221; police wrote in the complaint, which included their father, Phillip Margera Jr., and two females.
When troopers arrived at the Margera home, authorities witnessed Bam fleeing the scene on foot toward the back of the property through a dense-wooded area. By the time several troopers had followed him into the woods, Bam had already disappeared.
Bam&#8217;s charges come amid a long history of legal problems and substance abuse issues, according to <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11950861/Bam-Margera-sued-threatening-use-brass-knuckles-man-loud-SEX-near-family.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Mail.</a> Recent charges include a &#8220;drunk in public&#8221; arrest, domestic violence, and a current lawsuit from a neighbor who claims Bam threatened him with brass knuckles.
His wife, Nikki Margera, reportedly filed for divorce in February of this year, alleging Bam was not sober during a visit to their 5-year-old son Phoenix. She told TMZ the visit &#8220;was scary . . .and even more scary for Phoenix&#8221; when their last visit &#8220;went reasonably well&#8221; just 24 hours earlier. 
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1681913061093000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1nSUp7X_GMxrPR-OuaxTA7">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
Nikki requested legal and physical custody of their son but would allow supervised visitation with him in Los Angeles.
&#8220;This is the umpteenth time that Bam takes one step forward and ten steps back,&#8221; she said.
Pennsylvania State Police issued an arrest warrant for Bam and have asked the public to call 610-268-2022 for any help or information regarding his whereabouts as they continue searching for him.

There is a video of Lizzo climbing the steps to a private jet while baring her entire butt by wearing cutout leggings from her Yitty shapewear line.
The 34-year-old rapper shared the short clip earlier this year knowing that the comments section would be filled with messages of affirmation and support. She expected it because, over time, Lizzo has become the poster child for the body positivity movement.
More recently, the singer shared a surprising message with followers during her acceptance speech at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards. Lizzo claimed that she’s “oppressed.” But is she?
Melissa Viviane Jefferson enjoyed a meteoric rise to superstardom that most aspiring singers could only experience in their dreams. It’s no coincidence that her first bona-fide hit single, “Good As Hell” (2016) is an anthem celebrating self-love and body acceptance. This has become Lizzo’s image over the years and it’s something her fans have come to expect from her. Rather than hiding her feelings about her size, Lizzo has turned her figure into a money-making brand.
“Your vote means everything to me, it means everything to making a change in this country &#8230; When you’re voting for your favorite artist, vote to change some of these laws that are oppressing us,” the singer said during her speech at the VMAs.
Lizzo never clarified how, precisely, she is being oppressed, which earned her a lot of backlash on social media. However, she did express her frustration at people making negative comments about her physique.
“You know what? I’m not gonna say nothing,” she also said during the speech. “They be like, ‘Lizzo, why don’t you clap back? Why don’t you clap back?’ ‘Cause, b***, I’m winning, ho! Big b**** is winning, ho!” she yelled to the cheering crowd.
Most viewers assume those statements were directed at comedian Aries Spears, who had previously questioned why Lizzo has become a role model for women.
“I can’t get past the fact that she looks like the s*** emoji,” Spears said during an interview with “The Art of Dialogue.”
“She’s got a very pretty face, but she keeps showing her body off. Like, come on, man. Come on, yo.”
“I’m sorry,” he continued. “Listen, I ain’t the most in-shape n**** in the world, but I still — when you funny and you got swagger and confidence and you decent looking &#8230; I think I’m at least handsome — you get p***y. But a woman that’s built like a plate of mashed potatoes is in trouble.”
He questioned Lizzo’s health specifically.
“You know what kills me about women is the hypocrisy and the contradiction,” Spears went on. “F*** diabetes, f*** heart problems, f*** heart disease, cholesterol. Y’all claim womanhood and about sisterhood and support for your sister, you know, when it comes to that ridiculous s***. But if you really gave a f***, why wouldn’t you go, ‘Black girl, we love your confidence, boo boo, but this ain’t it. This ain’t it.’”
“That’s the real love! Y’all jump on me for making jokes, but y’all won’t be f***ing real and go, ‘Sister, put the eclair down. This ain’t it. It’s treadmill time,’” he concluded.
It’s difficult to keep track of just how many times Lizzo has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lizzo-bares-her-entire-butt-in-revealing-new-instagram-promo-for-yitty-shapewear">shown off</a> her plus-sized physique.
In 2019, she debuted some thong underwear in a black cutout dress that left nothing to the imagination while dancing to her song “Juice” at a Minnesota Timberwolves/LA Lakers game. Lizzo declared it was “a** crack summer” after posting a series of photos of herself in a skintight purple dress that exposed her behind again.
“Who I am, and the essence of me and the things I choose to do as a grown a** woman, can inspire you to do the same,” the singer told Page Six in response to criticism.
“You don’t have to be like me. You need to be like you. And never ever let somebody stop you or shame you from being yourself. This is who I’ve always been,” Lizzo said. “Now everyone’s lookin’ at it, and your criticism can just remain your criticism. Your criticism has no effect on me. Negative criticism has no stake in my life.”
She continued, “I’m the happiest I’ve ever been … I’m surrounded by love, and I just wanna spread that love — and also spread these cheeks. And if you really, really don’t like my a**, you can kiss it.”
By the language standard of the left, no one is allowed to criticize Lizzo or suggest that celebrating morbid obesity is a dangerous pursuit. Some people are starting to think the “Truth Hurts” singer is the opposite of oppressed since even basic rules of health don’t apply to her.
“It’s hard to think of a less oppressed figure than Lizzo,” The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ben-shapiro-lizzos-mtv-victim-rant-does-democrats-fat-lot-of-good">said</a> in response to the speech. “This is a danger to Democrats. The more they preach that, the more they lose.”
Lizzo has ventured into political propaganda too. She donated $500,000 to Planned Parenthood just after the overturning of Roe v. Wade in June and has spoken about other social issues, including the trans agenda.
“I’m proud to rep Houston, but I’m not proud to rep Texas politics right now,” Lizzo <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mind-your-business-lizzo-calls-texas-abortion-ban-atrocious-says-trans-rights-are-human-rights">told</a> the crowd at SXSW in March. “Mind your business. Trans rights are human rights.”
During the same event, she called Texas’s abortion ban “atrocious.”
“Stay out of my body. This is not political,” Lizzo said, while claiming conservative politicians were “all up in your uterus.”
Lizzo isn’t the only one promoting obesity in the culture. Recently, fashion brand Abercrombie &amp; Fitch went viral for publishing photos of a larger than average plus-sized model wearing their clothing, and Victoria’s Secret has taken a similar approach with their brand. Lizzo appeared on the cover of Vogue in 2020.
And during that cover interview, she addressed her icon status. Lizzo says she doesn’t want to become the poster child for body positivity. She just wants obesity to become the norm. A statement like that doesn’t promote kindness, or freedom, or eliminate any type of oppression. It just seems to try and replace the current standard of health with a new, illogical one.
“It’s commercialized,” she said of the trend. “Now, you look at the hashtag ‘body positive,’ and you see smaller-framed girls, curvier girls. Lotta white girls. And I feel no ways about that, because inclusivity is what my message is always about. I’m glad that this conversation is being included in the mainstream narrative.”
She continued, saying larger women are getting overshadowed by people who aren’t fat enough.
“What I don’t like is how the people that this term was created for are not benefiting from it. Girls with back fat, girls with bellies that hang, girls with thighs that aren’t separated, that overlap. Girls with stretch marks. You know, girls who are in the 18-plus club,” she continued. “They need to be benefiting from&#8230;the mainstream effect of body positivity now. But with everything that goes mainstream, it gets changed. It gets—you know, it gets made acceptable.”
“I think it’s lazy for me to just say I’m body positive at this point,” Lizzo told <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/lizzo-cover-october-2020">Vogue</a>. “It’s easy. I would like to be body-normative. I want to normalize my body. And not just be like, ‘Ooh, look at this cool movement. Being fat is body positive.’ No, being fat is normal. I think now, I owe it to the people who started this to not just stop here. We have to make people uncomfortable again, so that we can continue to change. Change is always uncomfortable, right?”

<a href="https://dailywire.com/news/kathy-hilton-mistakes-lizzo-for-fictional-precious-character-viewers-melt-down-over-her-racist-mistake/">Lizzo</a>, who once sang that the “Truth Hurts,” got a huge helping of it from <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1563-why-are-republicans-losing-2022-election-momentum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Shapiro</a> Monday, a day after the plus-sized performer railed on the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lizzo-responds-to-comedian-aries-spears-for-telling-her-its-treadmill-time" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MTV Video Music Awards</a> against “laws that oppress us” and a comic who called her fat.
The Daily Wire co-founder told his vast <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1563-why-are-republicans-losing-2022-election-momentum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">podcast audience</a> that another liberal millionaire artist claiming to be a victim won’t help Democrats win elections. And her own denial about her ample size won’t help the “About Damn Time” singer lose weight, Shapiro said.
&#8220;It&#8217;s hard to think of a less oppressed figure than Lizzo,&#8221; Shapiro said.  &#8220;This is a danger to Democrats. The more they preach that, the more they lose.&#8221;

Lizzo made her remarks while picking up the award for “Music Video for Good,” a designation she said she didn’t even understand. She thanked those who voted for her, and then made a profane pivot to politics.
“Your vote means everything to me, it means everything to making a change in this country,” she said. “So, remember, when you’re voting for your favorite artist, vote to change some of these laws that are oppressing us.”
Lizzo, who campaigned for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the 2020 election, didn’t mention any specific laws, or even how voting for a music award could advance a political agenda. Still, she managed to make an appeal for the &#8220;hierarchy of victimhood inside the Democratic Party,&#8221; Shapiro noted.
Without mentioning comedian Aries Spears, Lizzo appeared to complain about a remark he made Friday on &#8220;The Art of Dialogue&#8221; podcast.
&#8220;She&#8217;s got a very pretty face, but she keeps showing her body off,” Spears said. “Sister, put the eclair down. This ain’t it. It’s treadmill time.&#8221;
Lizzo, who earlier this year wore a thong bikini for a photo shoot, should probably expect comments about her weight, especially since she embraces it in interviews, said Shapiro.
“I wake up into my obese bed,” Lizzo said in an <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CMGBayTlESb/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=0bbe6ace-7000-41c9-ad9f-868ee02beb17" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram video last year</a>. “I have to get, like, a king bed because I’m so obese. And I put on my obese Louis Vuitton house slippers, and I walk into my massive, obese bathroom, and I just stare into my wall-to-wall, obese mirror, and I just lather myself in the most obese, expensive oils and creams.”
“Apparently she&#8217;s surprised because somebody told a joke about the fact that she is fat,” Shapiro said. “And I mean, I hate to break it to the world, but Lizzo is overweight.&#8221;
Spears, Shapiro noted, made the point that those who care about health – Lizzo’s or anyone else’s – should not encourage obesity.

Whitney Heard, the younger sister of actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/amber-heard">Amber Heard</a>, publicly fumed over the inclusion of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/johnny-depp">Johnny Depp</a> at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) on Sunday.
Amber Heard has claimed that Depp, her ex-husband, physically and sexually abused her during their relationship; Depp has denied all allegations. A jury on June 1 found that the &#8220;Aquaman&#8221; actress defamed Depp in an op-ed about domestic violence published by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/washington-post">The Washington Post</a> in 2018, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jury-awards-johnny-depp-15-million-but-hell-get-millions-less-heres-why">awarding</a> Depp $15 million in damages.
&#8220;[MTV] you&#8217;re disgusting and clearly desperate!&#8221; Whitney said on her Instagram stories, Sunday evening. &#8220;I really hope that none of the people that made this call have daughters.&#8221;
She added the hashtags #IStandWithAmberHeard and #DVMAs, an apparent reference to domestic violence.

Whitney notably <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/heard-friend-jennifer-howell-expected-to-testify-for-johnny-depp-blow-up-sisters-staircase-incident">testified</a> on behalf of her sister during the highly publicized six-week-long defamation trial, in part accusing Depp of smacking Amber in the face during an alleged 2015 incident in the couple’s penthouse.
“He called her a ‘used-up trash bag,’ she called him ‘old and fat,&#8217;” Whitney <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/05/18/amber-heards-sister-says-johnny-depp-hit-her-during-blowout/">recalled</a> of the alleged incident. Then, Depp allegedly hit Whitney in the back, sparking Amber to “land one” on the actor, Whitney said. In response, Depp allegedly repeatedly smacked Amber in the face, the sister added.
During the intense trial, Amber Heard detailed serious allegations of abuse at the hands of Depp, including a rape with a possibly broken Maker’s Mark bottle. Depp and his legal team told the jury that Amber Heard perpetrated a #MeToo hoax to take from Depp and also to punish him for leaving her.
During closing arguments, Depp attorney Camille Vasquez said that Amber Heard &#8220;gave the performance of her life.&#8221;
“She came into this courtroom prepared to give the performance of her life, and she gave it,” Vasquez <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/camille-vasquez-accuses-amber-heard-sobbing-without-tears-1710914">said</a>. “Ms. Heard’s acting coach, Kristina Sexton, testified that Ms. Heard has difficulty crying when she is acting. You saw it, Ms. Heard sobbing without tears while spinning elaborate, exaggerated, fantastical accounts of abuse.”
“It was a performance,” the attorney told the jury. “She told you what she thinks you need to hear to convict this man as a domestic abuser and a rapist. She wants you to believe she was abused countless times. Countless times over the entire course of their relationship. But as Mr. [Ben] Chew and I promised you, the evidence just does not bear that out.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lizzo">Lizzo</a> made several statements during her <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mtv">MTV</a> Video Music Awards acceptance speech, including a thinly veiled response to comedian Aries Spears. 
The 34-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/music">singer</a> thanked her fans after being awarded the Moon Person for Video For Good (“About Damn Time”), then followed up by saying, “And now, to the b****es that got something to say about me in the press…”
This was the same wording as Nicki Minaj’s opening during the 2015 VMAs, Page Six <a href="https://pagesix.com/2022/08/28/lizzo-claps-back-at-body-shamer-aries-spears-at-vmas-2022/">noted</a>, which was directed at Miley Cyrus. But while Minaj famously followed up by saying, “Miley, what’s good,” Lizzo kept her criticism a bit more ambiguous. 
“You know what? I’m not gonna say nothing,” the artist continued. “They be like, ‘Lizzo, why don’t you clap back? Why don’t you clap back?’ ‘Cause, b***, I’m winning, ho! Big b**** is winning, ho!” she yelled to the cheering crowd.
Most viewers assume she’s addressing the beef between her and Spears. The comedian questioned why fans look up to Lizzo as a role model when obesity is so unhealthy.
“I can’t get past the fact that she looks like the s*** emoji,” Spears said during a recent interview with “The Art of Dialogue.” 
“She’s got a very pretty face, but she keeps showing her body off. Like, come on, man. Come on, yo.”
“I’m sorry,” he continued. “Listen, I ain’t the most in-shape n**** in the world, but I still — when you funny and you got swagger and confidence and you decent looking … I think I’m at least handsome — you get p***y. But a woman that’s built like a plate of mashed potatoes is in trouble.”
Next, he called out Lizzo’s health specifically. 
“You know what kills me about women is the hypocrisy and the contradiction,” Spears went on. “F*** diabetes, f*** heart problems, f*** heart disease, cholesterol. Y’all claim womanhood and about sisterhood and support for your sister, you know, when it comes to that ridiculous s***. But if you really gave a f***, why wouldn’t you go, ‘Black girl, we love your confidence, boo boo, but this ain’t it. This ain’t it.’”
“That’s the real love! Y’all jump on me for making jokes, but y’all won’t be f***ing real and go, ‘Sister, put the eclair down. This ain’t it. It’s treadmill time,’” he concluded.
Elsewhere in her speech, Lizzo called on fans to vote and change the laws that were “oppressing us,” The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lizzo-uses-mtv-award-speech-to-claim-that-shes-oppressed">reported</a>.

Puerto Rican artist <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/music" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bad Bunny</a> made history at the 2022 <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mtv" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MTV</a> Video Music Awards for being the first Latin star to nab Artist of the Year, but many fans are more interested in talking about his kiss with a male backup dancer. 
Critics accused Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, of “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lgbtq" target="_blank" rel="noopener">queerbaiting</a>” and trying to get attention. Others questioned if the 28-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/music-industry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rapper</a> is bisexual. Ultimately, the kiss became a hot topic on Twitter following Ocasio’s performance of his hit song “Tití Me Preguntó” at the ceremony.
“He needs to stop queerbaiting,” one viewer responded.
Another compared him to artist Harry Styles, who is also famously ambiguous about his sexuality and has also been accused of doing it for attention.
“Harry’s queerbaiting classes are working I see,” another person said. 
Several fans pointed out that Bad Bunny also kissed a female backup dancer during the performance, which only added to the confusion.
The bilingual performer was up against Drake, Ed Sheeran, Harry Styles, Jack Harlow, Lil Nas X, and Lizzo for Artist of the Year. He made history by being the first non-English-language performer to win the accolade. In 2020, he became the first non-English-language star to become Spotify&#8217;s most streamed artist of the year.
Ocasio shared details of his sexuality during a 2020 cover story with Playboy. “I think that sex is a giant world, and everyone is free to see it as they want and do it with whoever they want, however they want, with infinite possibilities,” Bunny <a href="https://www.playboy.com/read/bad-bunny-is-not-playing-god?utm_source=instagram&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=cover-feature&amp;utm_content=bad-bunny-en_instagram">said</a>. “In the end, we are human beings. Everybody feels, everybody falls in love with whoever they&#8217;re meant to.”
He had similar thoughts about wearing dresses and other traditionally feminine clothing. Ocasio, who dressed in drag for his “Yo Perreo Sola” music video, <a href="https://www.gq.com/story/bad-bunny-june-cover-profile" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> GQ this year that “a dress is a dress.”
“It depends on my state of mind,” the singer told the publication of his fashion choices. “Everybody has to feel comfortable with what they are and how they feel. Like, what defines a man, what defines being masculine, what defines being feminine? I really can&#8217;t give clothes gender.”
He continued, saying, “To me, a dress is a dress. If I wear a dress, would it stop being a woman&#8217;s dress? Or vice versa? Like, no. It&#8217;s a dress, and that&#8217;s it. It&#8217;s not a man&#8217;s, it&#8217;s not a woman&#8217;s. It&#8217;s a dress.”

Bad Bunny Accused Of ‘Queerbaiting’ For Kissing Male Backup Dancer After Winning Artist Of The Year At VMAs

Former Disney star Dove Cameron won Best New Artist at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday and dedicated the honor to &#8220;all of the queer kids who don&#8217;t feel that they can take up space and inhabit the fullness of who they are.&#8221;
During her acceptance speech, the <a href="https://twitter.com/vmas/status/1564093066218295296?s=20&amp;t=d2hJ1NOrH5Qar2LL9R2PyA">26-year-old pop singer/actress</a> thanked fans for getting her &#8220;overtly queer song&#8221; &#8220;Boyfriend&#8221; on the airwaves.
&#8220;This is so wild to be up here with so many artists that I worship,&#8221; Cameron told the crowd at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. &#8220;These are some of my all-time favorite artists up here. This year has been so wild and I have no explanation for it, except for that I have you guys to thank. I know that.&#8221;
&#8220;I wanna dedicate this to all of the queer kids out there,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Who don&#8217;t feel that they can take up space and inhabit the fullness of who they are. Thank you for getting an overtly queer song on to mainstream radio. Thank you for supporting me for the person and artist that I am. I hope in that way, you&#8217;ve also given that privilege to yourself.&#8221;
In 2021, the Disney star came out as &#8220;super queer,&#8221; <a href="https://www.gaytimes.co.uk/culture/dove-cameron-covers-gay-times-magazine-i-felt-like-i-wouldnt-be-accepted/">Gay Times</a> noted.

The former star of the Disney Channel show &#8220;Liv and Maddy&#8221; wasn&#8217;t the only person at the awards show Sunday to mention LGBTQ issues.
Actor Billy Eichner took the stage to introduce Panic! At The Disco and promote his upcoming gay rom-com. He then took a swipe at United States Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, calling him a &#8220;homophobe&#8221; and claiming that same-sex marriage is under attack.

Natural resonant frequencies amplified from American pop icon Janet Jackson&#8217;s &#8220;Rhythm Nation&#8221; music video released over 30 years ago are too powerful for certain laptop hard drives, Microsoft said last week.
Raymond Chen, a chief software engineer for Microsoft, <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20220816-00/?p=106994/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared</a> a story from one of his colleagues, who said a major computer manufacturer discovered that while playing Jackson&#8217;s 1989 title track from her fourth record, certain laptops crashed.
&#8220;I would not have wanted to be in the laboratory that they must have set up to investigate this problem,&#8221; Chen said in a blog post. &#8220;Not an artistic judgment.&#8221;
During the investigation, they found that by isolating what was crushing the inside of the laptops, the song contained one of the natural resonant frequencies for the model of 5400 rpm hard drives used by the manufacturer.
&#8220;But why this song,&#8221; Chen <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://twitter.com/WindowsDocs/status/1558114944738103297?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1558676353196494850%7Ctwgr%5E2a8c3935d511d6cb2e37b0073395a4ac64acd20a%7Ctwcon%5Es2_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fthenextweb.com%2Fnews%2Fjanet-jackson-rhythm-nation-causes-laptops-to-crash-vibration-resonance" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;Does windows not like this song?&#8221;
Maybe Jackson&#8217;s militant dance choreography, political messaging, and vision for people of the world to unite under a rhythm nation filtered through black and white cinematography were just too much for the hard drive&#8217;s revolutions per minute.
Chen said the investigation turned &#8220;extremely weird&#8221; when they found that the classic 80s pop song crashed its competitor&#8217;s hard drives and other laptops beside the computer playing the track.
&#8220;The reason is that this song contained a frequency that matched the natural resonant frequency of the hard drive that these laptops were using,&#8221; Chen added.
Manufacturers resolved the issue by writing a special audio filter that detects such frequencies by filtering them out before the vibrations are produced and amplified out of the speakers.
&#8220;And I&#8217;m sure they put a digital version of a ‘Do not remove’ sticker on that audio filter,&#8221; Chen said. &#8220;Though I&#8217;m worried that in the many years since the workaround was added, nobody remembers why it&#8217;s there.”
&#8220;Hopefully, their laptops are not still carrying this audio filter to protect against damage to a model of hard drive they are no longer using,&#8221; he added.
Natural resonant frequencies have not only destroyed internal storage systems, but have also been strong enough to collapse bridges.
History <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/tacoma-narrows-bridge-collapses" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a> that the Tacoma Narrows Suspension Bridge in Washington, which stretched the Puget Sound from Gig Harbor to 40 miles south of Seattle, collapsed from vibrations generated by strong winds in 1940. With the winds blowing in a specific direction, the frequency oscillations built up enough to cause an inevitable collapse.

Singer Miley Cyrus has accused the directors of this year&#8217;s MTV VMA&#8217;s of making sexist comments toward her during the show.
Appearing on &#8220;<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/joe-rogan-podcast-spotify-controversial-episodes-missing" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Joe Rogan Experience</a>,&#8221; the singer said that the comment came as she prepared to perform the song &#8220;Midnight Sky,&#8221; which had her swinging on a disco ball. According to Cyrus, prior to the big moment, her bracelet became entangled in something backstage, prompting the director to say her being a woman causes trouble.
&#8220;They said, &#8216;You know, you want to be treated like a guy and look like a guy, we wouldn&#8217;t be dealing with this if a guy was doing it,'&#8221; she said.
Cyrus felt that perhaps the animosity stemmed from her preoccupation with the show&#8217;s lighting prior to the performance.
&#8220;I was just asking some questions &#8212; not even on some diva s**t,&#8221; Cyrus said, as reported by <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/miley-cyrus-director-2020-mtv-vmas-sexist-comment">Fox News</a>. &#8220;I wanted the lights to be turned off, and then the lighting of the room to just be lighting me. So no key light, no beauty light. The beauty light is always used on women and I said, &#8216;Turn the f**king lights off. You would never tell Travis Scott or Adam Levine that he couldn&#8217;t turn the beauty light off.'&#8221;
&#8220;&#8216;We&#8217;ll just do the same thing that we would do with the guys&#8217;,&#8221; she recalled them saying in response.
Though Cyrus admitted to being firm with what she wants, she added that she never loses her &#8220;kindness.&#8221;
&#8220;The balance that I&#8217;ve found is firm and kind,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t lose my kindness, but also don&#8217;t become a mat, but I am firm about what I want.&#8221;
In the end, Cyrus recalled saying to the directors, &#8220;&#8216;Well, a guy wouldn&#8217;t be doing this because a guy doesn&#8217;t sell you a show with sex the way that I&#8217;m going to.'&#8221;
Though in a markedly different setting, Cyrus&#8217; alleged experience with sexism relates to comments made by actress Charlize Theron this summer when she lamented about the alleged sexism she herself faced as an action heroine while shooting &#8220;The Italian Job.&#8221;
“I was the only woman with a bunch of guys, and I remember vividly getting the schedule in our preproduction and they had scheduled me for six weeks more car training than any of the guys,” she said on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeeH5s3U-bA&amp;amp;feature=emb_title" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">“Evolution of a Bada**s” panel</a> during Comic-Con@Home. “It was just so insulting, but it was also the thing that put a real fire under my a** and I was like, ‘All right, you guys want to play this game? Let’s go,’” she continued. “I made it a point to out-drive all of those guys. I vividly remember Mark Wahlberg, halfway through one of our training sessions, pulling over and throwing up because he was so nauseous from doing 360s.”
