Miley Cyrus has major falling out with dad Billy Ray and unfollows him on Instagram in feud over his split from her mum
MILEY CYRUS has never been one to bite her tongue, and it’s clearly the same when it comes to her own family.
I’ve learned the US superstar has fallen out with her country singer dad Billy Ray in a row so bad that they have cut contact with each other.
The pair are understood to have butted heads after Achy Breaky Heart star Billy announced his split from Miley’s mum Tish in April after almost 30 years.
Now they have made a point of unfollowing each other on Instagram in a very public sign of their feud.
A source said: “Miley is all about peace but she didn’t agree with some things that her father has done. It has really escalated and they are not on good terms.
“There were words exchanged over what happened towards the end of Billy and Tish’s marriage, and since then, but they clearly see things very differently.

“Neither of them is particularly eager to make amends right now without an apology.
“The rest of the family are hoping it will blow over soon and they will be able to make up, but Billy and Miley are both upset.”
To rub salt in the wound, although he no longer follows Miley on Instagram, Billy does follow her ex-husband, actor Liam Hemsworth.
The father and daughter have long been close, with Billy also playing her character Miley Stewart’s dad in the long-running Disney series Hannah Montana.

But they have had their ups and downs in the past and drifted apart when the show ended.
In 2011, he said of the series: “It destroyed my family. I’ll tell you right now, the damn show destroyed my family.
“I’d take it back in a second. For my family to be here and just everybody to be OK, safe and sound and happy and normal would have been fantastic. Heck, yeah!”
More recently they had been much closer and she had spoken at length about how important family was for her.
I have met Miley and she is one of the most charismatic and engaging celebrities in the game.
They would be fools to let a family feud come between them.
TikTok Tais me down
TAI VERDES’ 2020 song Stuck In The Middle became a TikTok hit – being used more than 3million times on the app – and landed him a record deal.
But the rapidly rising US singer is desperate for that to be forgotten about so he can become a star in his own right.
In an exclusive chat, he said: “I can’t wait until TikTok is over. You know why?
“I saw Justin Bieber go from ‘Justin Bieber from YouTube’ to ‘Justin Bieber’ and I was on Vine when it was ‘Shawn Mendes from Vine’ and now he’s just ‘Shawn Mendes’.
“Those people went on to the next social media and right now it’s ‘Tai Verdes from TikTok’. I can’t wait until that s**t is over. It will show I can evolve and transition.”
His second album HDTV is out on September 16 and he has lofty ambitions.
After praising artists including Madonna, the outspoken A-O-K singer said: “It’s really hard for me to give respect to artists who don’t do it for that long because everyone has this weird thing like, ‘Oh, you’re an artist?
“We should cater to you because you’re expressing yourself’. Nah, this is a f***ing business.
“A lot of the artists out here are glorified songwriters.
“How are you going to say you’re entering a ‘new era’ but you look the same, sound the same and you’re doing the same s**t?
“I know on my album I look different, sound different and I’m doing different s**t. And you can’t take that away from me.”
It certainly sounds like he means business.
GORILLAZ have announced a new album called Cracker Island, which features collaborations with Stevie Nicks, Beck and Bad Bunny.
The group, formed by Damon Albarn, will release the record on February 24 and have just dropped the first single called New Gold, featuring Tame Impala.
More new music is out today, with Yungblud’s self-titled third album hitting the shelves and Ava Max dropping her single Million Dollar Baby.
Shaven look is top of my crops
SHE shaved her head live on stage while singing her hit Whip My Hair last year, and now Willow Smith has said she’ll never go back to long locks.
The singer daughter of Hollywood stars Will and Jada said: “I like to see a glare on my scalp, a bounce of light.
“Shaving my head is maybe the most radical thing I’ve done in the name of beauty.”
Willow made the comments in Glamour UK’s September digital issue, out now, for which she posed in a red catsuit and denim jacket.
She also revealed mum Jada inspired her to follow her parents into showbusiness after watching her rock band Wicked Wisdom on stage at Ozzfest in 2005.
Glitzy Kim’s pumped up for fuel trip
SHE might be a billionaire, but Kim Kardashian still made the most of a trip to her local filling station.
The reality star donned a black, form-fitting Balenciaga dress, large sunglasses and platinum blonde hair to fill up her Land Rover.
Fresh from her split from comedian Pete Davidson, she was photographed walking around the garage forecourt after topping up her tank in Los Angeles.
And with a heat warning active there due to sweltering temperatures, it was a surprise she looked so cool and collected.
Her antics will soon hit screens once again, with the second series of The Kardashians airing later this month.
Hopefully she can come up with some more interesting storylines than a stroll around the garage.
Yeezy world
KANYE WEST has vowed to open his own shops globally after a huge fallout with Gap, who he had done a deal with to sell his Yeezy clothes.

“I signed with Adidas and Gap because it contractually stated they would build permanent stores – which neither company has done, even though I saved both of those companies at the same time.”
He doesn’t bite his tongue, does he?
