Who will win Record of the Year at the 2025 Grammys? This award goes to the artists, producers, and engineers of the year’s best single. That’s where this differs from Song of the Year, which goes specifically to songwriters. Though this award is not technically a popularity contest, commercial success is typically a major factor, like Miley Cyrus‘s reigning champion “Flowers,” a blockbuster that spent several weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100. So will the next winner be a big hit as well? Scroll down to see our official racetrack odds, which are calculated based on the combined predictions of Gold Derby users. The odds are always changing, so we’ll be updating this list as the season progresses.

For most of history there were five Grammy nominees in the Record of the Year category, same as there were for Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist.

Buku Abi, the daughter of disgraced R&b singer R. Kelly, has opened up about her tumultuous relationship with her father in the new two-part docuseries Karma: A Daughter’s Journey, released on Tvei Streaming Network.

In the series, Abi, 26, addresses claims that her mother, Andrea Kelly, manipulated her and her siblings against their father.

These allegations first surfaced in 2019, when Kelly was accused of sexual abuse on multiple occasions after the Surviving R. Kelly documentary was released.

Following Abi’s public reference to her father’s estrangement as a “monster,” Kelly’s close associates told TMZ that Kelly thought Abi and her siblings had been “brainwashed” by their mother.

Joanne Kelly Comments on Mother Brainwashing Her in Docuseries

“When it comes to him feeling as if my mom has brainwashed us, I feel like it’s bull—-,” Abi, whose real name is Joanne Kelly, shared in the docuseries.

The King of Rock n’ Roll’s charm has been something that’s been oft-talked about, even decades after his tragic death at age 42.

Filmax, still a byword for genre from Spain, has swooped on international rights to “Gaua,” the new film from Paul Urkijo, whose “Irati,” a Basque sword and mace epic beginning in 778 and sluiced by local legends, won Sitges’ main Competition Audience Award in 2022, establishing Urquijo as one of Spain’s most exciting younger genre auteurs.

As Screen Anarchy pointed out, Irati “puts women front and center” in a story “grounded to a place and time that is unique and real,” while sweeping audiences up in “amazing sights, monsters, gods, and legends.

It’s public knowledge that Dolly Parton agreed to be Miley Cyrus‘s godmother when Miley was first born. However, no one ever knew if the two stars were actually related by blood or not. Miley and Dolly are both extremely talented and now it’s been proven that they do indeed share a connection in terms of their ancestry. These are the details.

Miley Cyrus And Dolly Parton’s Blood Relation

According to Ancestry.com, Miley and Dolly are distant relatives thanks to a man named John Brickey. He was related to both of them! John was born in 1740 as a Tennessee resident who passed away in 1806. On Miley’s side, he’s her seventh great-grandfather. On Dolly‘s side, he’s her sixth grand-grandfather. If you draw that up on a family tree, you’ll uncover that Miley and Dolly are seventh cousins, once removed.

Two years ago, after it bowed in cinema theaters in Spain, Alauda Ruiz de Azúa’s feature debut “Lullaby” was described by Pedro Almodóvar as “undoubtedly the best Spanish debut for years.” So the big question at a set visit last October was what she would make of her first TV series “Querer.” That set visit gave some inkling.

Now the full answer is out, as the premium mini series, selected out of competition at San Sebastián, screened to the press in the entirety of its 212 minutes on Thursday night.

That total screening is understandable. “Querer” begins with Miren, the wife in a seemingly perfect marriage in outward appearance, goes to a police station to accuse her husband over 30 years of sexual assault. This and following episodes records the divergent impact of her decision on her elder son Aitor, loyal to his father and his demeanour, and his younger brother Jon,...

Devin Strader has mostly remained silent following The Bachelorette finale.

That’s when viewers found out Jenn Tran’s side of what went down when cameras stopped rolling and her relationship with Devin turned sour.

Ever since, Devin has been Bachelor Nation’s least favorite winner and he’s been mostly laying low.

Meanwhile, Jenn’s star is rising. She premiered on Dancing With the Stars this week and danced to her anthem, Flowers by Miley Cyrus.

Devin’s reputation took another hit after Reality Steve did some digging and revealed his past arrest and a restraining order that kept him away from an old girlfriend.

The news sent Bachelor Nation into overdrive as many viewers questioned how he even made it onto the show.

Now, Devin is speaking out to clear his name.

Devin Strader says there’s more to the story

On Thursday morning, Devin took to his...

Sometimes, seemingly inoffensive music inspires a lot of controversy. For example, Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” has received criticism for its similarities to Bruno Mars’ “When I Was Your Man.” This controversy is overblown.

Why people think Miley Cyrus’ ‘Flowers’ is too similar to Bruno Mars’ ‘When I Was Your Man’

“When I Was Your Man” has the lyrics “I should’ve bought you flowers / And held your hand / Should’ve gave you all my hours.” “Flowers” has “I can buy myself flowers / Write my name in the sand / Talk to myself for hours.” Similar? Yes. Plagiarism? No.

At most, “Flowers” is an homage to “When I Was Your Man.” That’s not a crime. Most of music is built on homage. Beyond that, “When I Was Your Man” is a slow pop ballad and “Flowers” is a disco track. The tunes have entirely different melodies. Nobody could possibly confuse one song with the other.

Throughout Season 21 of The Bachelorette, Jenn Tran related every episode to a specific Taylor Swift song. Now Bachelor Nation fans think Jenn Tran took shots at her ex-fiance with her song choice on Dancing With The Stars. Keep reading for more.

Jenn Tran Takes Shot At Devin Strader During DWTS Premiere?

Jenn Tran is a huge Swiftie. She’s not the first Bachelor Nation alum to use Taylor Swift songs to relate to certain relationships. Who can forget Katie Thurston’s ’12 weeks of messy’ where she paired a song with someone from her Bachelorette season?

However, Jenn’s use of Taylor Swift songs was a little different. She took to Instagram before or after every episode of her Bachelorette season to use a Swift song that she felt best represented the episode as a whole.

Dancing With the Stars kicked off season 33 with a hour and a half-long season premiere Tuesday night.

The star of the most recent season of The Bachelorette, Jenn Tran, was among the new crop of contestants to take the stage, dancing the cha cha to “Flowers” by Miley Cyrus with partner Sasha Farber. Tran, who was a cast member on fellow DWTS contestant Joey Graziadei’s season of The Bachelor before leading the most recent season of The Bachelorette, had emotionally told audiences earlier this month during the After The Final Rose finale that she and her final pick, Devin Strader, had broken up between filming and the live-to-air special.

Then, on the same day that DWTS premiered, it was revealed that Strader had been arrested and had a restraining order filed against him by an ex-girlfriend before he was on the reality dating show. The restraining order, which had...

Miley Cyrus continues to cement an indelible legacy in the entertainment industry with her chartbuster songs and impeccable acting that catapulted her to fame. Known for her bold image and gender-defying music, she continued to push boundaries, bringing great tracks that resonated with many.

Last year, the singer made headlines with her hit single Flowers which is now indulged in a copyright controversy. As a potential battle seems brewing, this is not the first time when Cyrus had to face this situation. Back in 2018, a Jamaican songwriter sued the songstress involving her 2013 track We Can’t Stop.

Miley Cyrus Was Sued in 2018 Over a $300 Million We Can’t Stop Lawsuit

Back in 2018, a Jamaican songwriter, Michael May sued the Hannah Montana actress for $300 million, claiming that the singer’s 2013 hit We Can’t Stop had a striking resemblance to his 1988 track We Run Things.

Jenn Tran made her big debut on the Season 33 premiere of Dancing With the Stars. She jumped at the opportunity to join the dancing competition despite not having any formal training.

Making Her Dreams Come True

Jenn hopes that learning how to dance will give her a healthy distraction. During the Tuesday, September 17th premiere, the former Bachelorette and dance pro Sasha Farber danced to “Flowers” by Miley Cyrus. It’s the perfect anthem for someone who went through a public breakup. Jenn joined the show to make her dreams of dancing come true.

“It’s all happening, truly couldn’t be more grateful. Words can’t describe how long I’ve been wanting this moment,” Jenn explained in her Instagram post. “To be part of something bigger than myself and to fulfill a lifelong dream of (attempting) to learn how to dance.”

Miley Cyrus is being sued for stealing Bruno Mars’ song. Cyrus’ hit song ‘Flowers’ is reportedly too similar to a very popular Bruno Mars hit.

Miley Cyrus’ Name In Lights

Miley Cyrus is a singer/songwriter who rose to fame when she starred in the hit Disney Channel series Hannah Montana. Eventually writing music, Cyrus is known for taking risks with her songs and music videos.

For example, she had a hit song, ‘Wrecking Ball’ in 2013. The video showcased her swinging on a wrecking ball half naked as well as fully naked. Cyrus is very much known for doing whatever she wants despite what other people say.

Moreover, when she was on the red carpet, fans were stunned when she pretended to lick her boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth’s face. Fans speculated that Hemsworth asked her to “behave.” Then, she removed his hands from her before posing for solo pictures.

Miley Cyrus is being sued for copyright infringement by Tempo Music Investments over her 2023 hit song “Flowers.”

The company is alleging that Cyrus, 31, copied Bruno Mars‘ song, “When I Was Your Man,” which was released 10 years earlier. The lawsuit claims that Cyrus “intentionally” copied the song due to the similarities between both tracks.

Tempo Music Investment believes that the chord progressions in “Flowers” are the same as the progressions in Mars’ song and that some of Cyrus’ lyrics copy those of Mars’ track.

DWTS Season 33 Premiere Night

Before the new season of DWTS even began, fans had started a method to figure out who would go home first. They based it on the likes that the celebrities received on their Instagram promo photos.

This article contains spoilers for the Sept. 17 episode of “Dancing With the Stars.”

The Season 33 premiere of “Dancing With the Stars” kicked off Tuesday night with controversial con artist Anna Delvey, popularized in Netflix’s “Inventing Anna,” dancing in a bedazzled ankle monitor. No one was sent home in Week 1, but co-host Alfonso Ribeiro announced that there would be two eliminations next week.

Delvey ended up in the middle of the 13 couples score-wise, but at the top of the leaderboard was “Pretty Little Liars” star Chandler Kinney, who performed a sizzling tango to “Hot To Go!” by Chappell Roan with partner Brandon Armstrong.

Judge Bruno Tonioli told Kinney, “Oh my God, this was one of the best [first dances]” ever, while Carrie Ann Inaba told her it was “amazing” and that the actress had “set the bar” for Season 33.

Miley Cyrus has been hit with a copyright infringement lawsuit alleging in Los Angeles that she and her co-writers recycled parts of a Bruno Mars song for her two-time Grammy Award-winning hit “Flowers,” according to court papers obtained today.

The suit was filed Monday in Los Angeles federal court by partial copyright holder Tempo Music Investments, which claims “Flowers” incorporates unauthorized elements of Mars’ 2013 ballad “When I Was Your Man.” Mars is not named as a plaintiff.

Miley Cyrus has been sued for allegedly ripping off Bruno Mars’ “When I Was Your Man” for her Grammy-winning hit song “Flowers.”

The lawsuit, filed in California federal court on Monday, was brought by Tempo Music Investments, which acquired in 2020 a share of the copyright to the Mars track from songwriter Philip Lawrence. It accuses Cyrus of “intentional copying” constituting infringement.

Songwriters Gregory Hein and Michael Pollock, who cowrote the song with Cyrus, Sony Music Publishing, and distributors of the song, including Apple, Live Nation and Amazon, were also named in the complaint, which doesn’t involve Mars on either side.

“Flowers,” written after Cyrus’ divorce with Liam Hemsworth, became an overnight hit when it debuted in January 2023 at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, where it stayed for eight weeks. A year later, it earned Cyrus her first Grammy.

Similarities between the two tracks were immediately apparent. Cyrus...

Singer and pop star Miley Cyrus’ hit song Flowers is back on the news. However, it is not another win for the Hannah Montana star, as she became the recipient of a lawsuit.

It’s been a good week for Basque directors Jon Garaño and Aitor Arregi, who, along with Jose Mari Goenaga, world premiered “Marco” at Venice and landed a spot on the shortlist for Spain’s Oscar entry.

Sold by Film Factory Entertainment, with market screenings in Toronto and upcoming stops at San Sebastian, London and Vancouver, “Marco” is generating significant buzz. Based on real events, it centers on Enric Marco, an imposter who gained sympathy, fame, and respect by falsely claiming to be a concentration camp survivor while serving as chairman of the leading Spanish association for deportees. His story was a lie.

The filmmakers initially aimed to capture Marco’s downfall as a documentary, but like everything he touched, truth slipped away. He told them he was going to Germany to get papers from a prison he’d stayed in. The filmmakers wanted to accompany and capture key footage.

Actor Michael Keaton has a diverse filmography to boast of. From superhero movies to comedies to dramas, he has dipped his toes in all different pools and come out successful. But did you know that Michael Keaton is not his real name? The actor was born as Michael Douglas, but since another actor by the same name was already in the Screen Actors Guild, Keaton had to change his to become a part of it.

There was no fanfare in choosing his stage name. The actor looked at a phone directory and chose his stage name at random. But now, after decades in the industry, it seems like he wants to go back to his roots and adopt his real name alongside his stage name. But it’s not like Michael Keaton is the first person to forego his...

Sabrina Carpenter dropped her sixth album, “Short n’ Sweet,” on August 23, but it’s her most consequential release yet, coming on the heels of two breakthrough hit singles: “Espresso,” which has so far peaked at number-three on the Billboard Hot 100, and “Please Please Please,” her first chart-topper. The new album includes those two blockbusters, but how do the other 10 tracks compare?

Thus far, “Short n’ Sweet” has a strong MetaCritic score of 78 based on 14 reviews counted thus far: 12 are classified as positive and two are mixed, but none are negative. Jem Aswad (Variety) is especially fond of the collection, calling it “the powerful next step in her evolution as an artist, person and persona.” It “seals her arrival as a pop superstar,” according to Rob Sheffield (Rolling Stone). Charles Lyons-Burt (Slant) writes, “Carpenter and her collaborators, who include Jack Antonoff on a third of the songs, deftly integrate an evolving tapestry of sounds,...

Griselda Gonzalez Gentile’s Luminosa Venture Films has boarded the animated series “Hollow Flowers,” created by multi-media artist and filmmaker Daniel Yepes.

“Hollow Flowers” joins a Luminosa production slate that includes “Ernesto Che Guevara, un Canto Incluso,” a documentary revisiting the legacy of Che Guevara’s thoughts in the contemporary world, and “The Beauty of the Instant,” a fiction feature presenting at this year’s Sanfic Industria Ibero-American Work in Progress sidebar.

Currently in development, the “Hollow Flowers” series is part of a trans-media dark fantasy animated project for teens and adults. It will also include a short film, a video game and a comic. The series will be 20 episodes long, with each clocking in at 15 minutes. Yepes has already produced a teaser and a bible and is courting potential partners for the various formats.

Early iterations of “Hollow Flowers” have already featured extensively at markets and festivals around the world,...

My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman. Miley Cyrus in My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman. Cr. Terence Patrick/Netflix © 2024 Since Hannah Montana ended its run in 2011, Miley Cyrus has devoted nearly all of her efforts to building up her music career. And she’s done so very successfully: Each of her four studio albums (plus an EP) have made the Top 5, and she’s had a pair of No. 1 singles, with Wrecking Ball and last year’s Flowers, which is still on the Adult Contemporary chart. Meanwhile, her acting career has, for the most part, been on the back burner. With the occasional exception, like her excellent 2019 episode of Black Mirror, most of her screen appearances have come as, well, Miley Cyrus. In an interview with W Magazine, though, Cyrus announced that she’s once again interested in pursuing her acting career, provided the right roles come along.

Miley Cyrus has embraced her Hannah Montana past and apologized to Mickey Mouse for her bad girl era following her Disney Channel run.

The “Flowers” singer was honored with the Disney Legend award during the D23 Expo in Anaheim, and she got emotional when she accepted it.

“I’m gonna let everybody get in on a little Disney Legend secret. I’m the one that tells you what you’re not supposed to know,” Cyrus said while accepting the honor. “And what I want to say is that legends get scared, too. I’m scared right now, but the difference is we do it anyway — and all of you can do that every single day. It’s legendary to be afraid, and do it anyway.”

Cyrus joked that in 2005, “Disney was on a mission to rebuild and reimagine the company. That’s why they hired Bob Iger and me.” The...

Miley Cyrus has another crowning achievement to her name as Disney honored her with a Disney Legend award on Sunday at the D23 event. Her recognition came primarily for her performance in the 2006-2011 Disney series, Hannah Montana. With the new title, Cyrus also surpasses other Disney stars, particularly Selena Gomez, to become the youngest honoree.

Earlier this year, Cyrus also won the Grammy for Record of the Year for Flowers. In comparison, Gomez has never won a Grammy in her life. Interestingly, Gomez and Cyrus also had a reported feud which seemingly died down in recent years.

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth were couple goals until things ultimately went south and the two ended things on a rough note. The two met each other on the set of The Last Song (2010) and began dating soon after. After a few years, not free of trouble, the two tied the knot in 2018. Fast forward to the year after when the two ended up going their separate ways.

Now, Liam Hemsworth is with model/actress Gabriella Brooks. According to reports, the two began dating in 2019 and their relationship turned serious the next year. The couple is still going strong and while the next step in their relationship would have been a rock on Brooks’ ring finger, it looks like they don’t have any plans to tie the knot and Liam Hemsworth’s failed marriage with Miley Cyrus might be a big reason why.

Even though it’s been a year, we’re all still crazy about Miley Cyrus‘ ‘Flowers. If we hear ‘Flowers’ we’re sure to be singing,’ “I can buy myself in flowers / write my name in the sands” – at least that’s how I think the iconic lyrics to Miley’s iconic Grammy winning song goes.

On Thursday, June 18, the star performed a show at an exclusive party in Los Angeles celebrating Gucci Flora, and she brought her signature fire to make the event even more memorable.
