We’ll have more new music throughout the show, but first, let’s get to our top story. Miley Cyrus is on the cover of British Vogue and on the inside she’s having quite the tea party because she is spilling — here are three things to know from her revealing cover story.

First Miley’s eight-week Hot 100 chart topper ‘Flowers’ was almost very different. She said the empowering song used to be said with one lyric saying “I can buy myself flowers, right? Write my name in the sand, but I can’t love me better than you can.” Plus Miley says she doesn’t have time for the rumors that the song is about her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth. She’s not into tricking the audience. If it were about him, you’d know.

Second, Miley said she’s not a fan of those major tours. She said there’s no safety. It’s also not natural. It’s so isolated because you’re in front of 100,000 people then you are alone. It’s not that she can’t do it. She just doesn’t have the desire to do it.

Finally, she reveals some of the best advice she got from her godmother Dolly Parton when she remembered a wardrobe malfunction while hosting New Year’s Eve with Pete Davidson.

It’s safe to say I’m in my grave. BTS’ Jimin is joined by Muni Long, Kodak Black, NLE Choppa and Jvke on ‘Angel Pt.1’ from ‘Fast X.’ And the only way to describe this song is angelic.

Probably Saweetie — you see this shirt?
Producer 3:27

Saweetie 3:29

Baby Tate 3:33

Saweetie 3:36
Me too.
Baby Tate 3:38

Saweetie 3 4:13

Baby Tate 4:16

Saweetie 4:17
No I don’t.
Baby Tate 4:18
It’s no more pain over here.
Producer 4:20
Who is most likely to forget lyrics while performing?
Baby Tate 4:28
Yeah, definitely we forget. We have so many songs.
Saweetie 4:32
Right?
Baby Tate 4:32
I think people, like they get a little hard on artists like how you don’t remember your words. Like I write a lot of words.
Saweetie 4:38
I think it’d be like the choreo with the rapping. I did it one time and they caught me in 4k.

Justin Timberlake is responding to a TikTok user claiming the singer’s girlfriend looks just like Jessica Biel.
Tetris Kelly 5:27
Justin Timberlake got in on the fun this week after someone pointed out the stark similarities between his wife and Jessica Biel. The joke started when the TikTok user left a comment on the pop star’s video writing, “I don’t know who you are, but your girlfriend looks like Jessica Biel, Congrats” followed by a pair of starry-eyed and thumbs-up emojis. The couple has been married for more than a decade and the singer couldn’t resist turning the comment into a bit. In the video, JT lowers his sunglasses to look directly at the camera, and he doubled down in the caption, writing ‘from now on I’m only going by Jessica Biel’s boyfriend.’ Gotta love it. Justin can jump in and make a joke out of this — now where’s some new music?
