HOLLYWOOD NEWS UPDATES

Miley Cyrus Breaks Up with Liam Hemsworth For Sexting

UPDATE: Both Cyrus and Hemswort's reps have confirmed the news exclusively to People: the engagement has officially been called off.
EARLIER: We couldn't usher in the autumn without the traditional breaking up of Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemswoth. The time-honored tradition has become sacrosanct practice in contemporary society, alike in spirit and accountability to the changing of the leaves' colors or the shifting of the nature of television from esteemed drama to subpar comedy. Once again, the rumors are afoot: E! reports from an unnamed source that Cyrus and Hemsworth are splitting after four years (on and off) together.
According to the reports, it was 20-year-old Cyrus who terminated the relationship, having determined Hemsworth, 23, to be guilty of infidelity. Some yet unsubstantiated details point to Hemsworth's involvement in a concord of sexting with Mad Men's own January Jones. Let this be a reminder: Sexting is cheating. The lamest kind of cheating, but cheating nonetheless.
Although the news is only budding now, reports add that Hemsworth was conspicuously absent during Cyrus' performance of "We Can't Stop" at the 2013 Video Music Awards. Granted, this could simply be chalked up to the fact that he had a notion of what she was going to do onstage and decided, instead, to be anywhere else. Oh yeah, and Cyrus stopped following Hemsworth on Twitter over the weekend — which is, like, huge.

Nina Davuluri Crowned Miss America

Miss New York Nina Davuluri was crowned Miss America at Sunday night's pageant. Davuluri was the first Indian-American woman to be awarded the crown, and one of only a handful of minority winners in nearly 100 contests. While some people continue to be terrible (if you're a glutton for punishment, BussFeed collected a handful of the worst) and were up in arms that a blonde Middle American wasn't elected winner, the judges determined that Davuluri's Bollywood dance and thoughtful response to the question of plastic surgery were enough to give her the crown. Oh, and the fact that she's incredibly beautiful. That probably factored that in as well.
But beyond hateful tweets and messages (seriously, have people always been this awful?), Davuluri has been plagued by a controvery of her own making in the days leading up to the competition. After winning the title of Miss New York, Davuluri celebrated with a few friends in her hotel room, where a "source" for Page Six heard her trash-talking 2013 Miss America and former Miss New York Mallory Hagan. Hopefully she saves some of that smackdown for the haters who will have to learn to live with a Miss America that challenges their limited perspectives on what it means to be American.

Get Ready for Britney’s Zillionth Comeback, It's Going To Be Fierce

Britney fans, unite — our leader is back. Britney Spears has been making quite the noise these past couple of days and it's starting to sound like she's ready to claw her way back to the top of musical and celebrity fame. Her new single, "Work Bitch," leaked online this weekend, a couple days ahead of its planned release date and, frankly, it's everything we wanted it to be and more.
And that's not all the Britney news — TMZ has reported that Spears is rumored to take Las Vegas by storm for a two-year stint at Planet Hollywood that is Set to earn her 30$ million. (Does anyone else think that this is actually kind of low and that she deserves way more?)
Spears has had approximately a gazillion comebacks since her peak of popgirl fame, but that's okay with us. Spears isn't just a singer who's come and gone and is now pathetically trying to get noticed again; she's a pop icon who deserves every shred of attention she receives.She's Britney, bitch. She might not have made as many waves as she would have liked with her 2011 album Femme Fatale, but this time Spears is ready for a full-on war to recapture the hearts of America. And you know what? I think she's ready to win this time.

Not only was her new single "accidentally" leaked (let's be real, everyone needs a little bit of scandal to get noticed) and her epic Vegas residency unofficially announced within days of each other, but she's taken to Instragram to reveal her smokin' bod for her new music video. With moves like these, she's letting us know that she's still here and that she's ready to pounce on the pop queen crown that is rightfully hers. Britney, we're ready for all you can throw our way.

Lorde Of The Teen Pop Stars

Currently sitting pretty at No. 3 on the US Hot 100, New Zealand singer-songwriter Lorde appears to have come from nowhere to score one of the most addictive and yet effortlessly cool songs of the summer. With a debut album, Punk Heroine, due for release on September 27, here’s a look at some of the things you need to know about Ella Yelich-O'Connor.

She signed to Universal aged just 13Spotted by an A&R scout following a talent show performance at her Auckland school, Lorde signed to Universal on a development deal aged just 13 and has spent the last three years juggling her school commitments with writing her own material.

She's obsessed with royaltyAs well as naming her breakthrough hit "Royals," Lorde's moniker was also inspired by her love of the aristocracy: “When I was trying to come up with a stage name, I thought ‘Lord' was super rad, but really masculine—ever since I was a little kid, I have been really into royals. So to make Lord more feminine, I just put an ‘e' on the end! Some people think it's religious, but it's not.
 

She likes but can't relate to Lana Del ReyDespite professing a love for the likes of Drake, Nicki Minaj and Lana Del Rey, Lorde has revealed that "Royals" is actually a reaction to the 'opulence' and 'bullsh*t' that such artists regularly refer to in their music.

She's a superstar in New Zealand
Lorde is already on her way to achieving pop royalty status in her New Zealand homeland. Both "Royals" and "Tennis Court" debuted at No.1 on the country’s Top 40 chart, the former of which has already received the cover version treatment on The X-Factor, while she and co-writer Joel Little have recently been shortlisted for industry award The Silver Scroll.

She's the new Tracy Bonham"Royals" recently topped the Billboard Alternative Songs chart, making her the first female artist to do so since angsty singer-violinist Tracy Bonham back in 1996, the same year Lorde was born.
 

She has a sick Frank Ocean to thank for her Australian big breakDespite conquering her homeland, she was still an unknown in neighbouring Australia until Frank Ocean pulled out of the Splendour In The Grass festival in July over a career-threatening vocal cord injury, allowing last-minute replacement Lorde to wow the crowds with a typically self-assured set.

She makes Victoria Beckham look overly smileyDon't expect to see her flashing her teeth too often. The permanently sultry musician has admitted that she hates smiling and prefers to spend her life 'looking fierce' in photos.

Nicole Kidman Saves a Nation by Being Beautiful and Rich in 'Grace of Monaco' Trailer

Nicole Kidman becomes royalty in the dazzling trailer for Oliver Dahan's newest film Grace of Monaco, which recounts the glamor and turmoil that encompased the real-life reign of Grace Kelly, Hollywood starlet turned Princess of Monaco. Instead of taking form as a biopic about Kelly's entire life, the film will only focus on the few years during which Kelly helped ease tensions between France and Monaco. This is welcome news because biopics that try to throw a person's entire life on screen usually become terribly unweildly in the process. Think of how bad The Social Network would have been if we had to watch Mark Zuckeburg manipulate his third grade classmates out of their juiceboxes.

The Weinstein Company
The trailer is beautifully shot and exudes a certain elegance. There is a essence of royalty that lingers in every scene as we see Kidman's Grace traipse down long hallways or attend fancy dinners, bathed in rich yellow light. Even though the film boasts an impressive cast, featuring actors like Frank Langella, Parker Posey, Tim Roth, Derek Jacobi and Milo Ventimiglia, this short teaser only focuses on Kidman with a voiceover promising that the world will never forget who Grace Kelly is and what she has done. We hope Kidman's newest film is good, because we'd all like to forget Austrailia ever happened.
