Miley Cyrus Is Totally Here for These ‘Hannah Montana’ Memories From Lil Nas X & Megan Thee Stallion
Hannah Montana stopped airing on Disney Channel in 2011, but Miley Cyrus‘ influence on the hottest hip-hop stars hasn’t stopped a decade later. Lil Nas X created a hilarious parody of the teen sitcom series via TikTok on Sunday, re-creating the jaw-dropping climax of the 2006 pilot episode where Cyrus’ character reveals her dual identity to her best friend Lilly Truscott (played by Emily Osment). Nas’ “Call Me By Your Name” plays in the background before he stops the music and dramatically removes his shimmering blond wig and cuts to Hannah Montana‘s signature musical transition. “I hope miley don’t block me for this,” he captioned the clip. But she did quite the opposite. The 28-year-old superstar switched roles by ...

Nick Jonas Assures Kevin Jonas the Jonas Brothers Are Still a Band on ‘SNL’: Watch
No big deal! Nick Jonas did double duty on Saturday Night Live Feb. 27 — as he pointed out, a year to the day of his last live performance — acting both as host and musical guest. With the artist debuting his latest single, “Spaceman,” and announcing his third solo album of the same title days earlier on Feb. 25, some might wonder what the move means for the Jonas Brothers. And one of those wondering was brother and bandmate Kevin Jonas. During the monologue, Nick introduced Kevin, who was sitting in the audience. The elder Jonas took the opportunity to get some pressing questions off of his chest. “Honestly, I am so excited to be here to support you,” Kevin began. “And also, I gotta ask: Are we good? ‘Cause I see you’re doing a lot of ...
