Miley Cyrus can buy herself flowers and write her own name in the sand, and she can most certainly decide where and how she's going to stand during a photo op.

While attending the Palm Springs International Film Festival last Saturday, Cyrus walked the red carpet in a sharp, all-black suit and sleek sunglasses. She paused on the red carpet, holding a few poses for photographers to take their pictures, before she produced the pair of sunglasses.

Seeing them prompted several rude photographers to shout, "No!" at her over and over again, as if issuing commands to her to keep her face fully visible.

Miley being Miley, she put on the sunglasses, held another pose, and then turned her attention to the photographers who yelled at her.

Cyrus said:

"If you yell at me, I do the opposite!"
"You know this. I've known you for 20 years. If you tell me not to put the glasses on, I put them on."

Having made her point, she then removed the sunglasses and resumed her position on the red carpet to take a few more photographs before moving on.

You can catch the moment here:

Instagrammers were proud of Cyrus and supported the clapback.

Cyrus's clapback also became popular on Twitter (X), where X users applauded her for standing up for herself.






This isn't just about Cyrus setting boundaries for herself. It's about common decency and treating people with respect, kindness, and patience—like humans instead of commodities.

Cyrus just happens to be one of those people who is not afraid to speak up about how she's being treated and push back against it, making this an iconic and viral-worthy moment.

If more celebrities spoke up in a respectful tone and set boundaries like this, we might see more positive relationships between celebrities and reporters.

Teacher Stunned After Student Argues That People Shouldn't Have To 'Think Anymore' Thanks To ChatGPT

There's no doubt that ChatGPT and similar tools are growing in relevance and application, and they're growing fast. The problem is that many people, especially younger individuals, seem to struggle with how much they should depend on the tools.

We already knew that ChatGPT could be a problem regarding critical thinking and creativity, so maybe we should have anticipated the mindsets that would develop, snubbing independent thinking when tools like ChatGPT are available.

Video Of Crows Ripping Out Animatronic Rapunzel's Hair At Tokyo DisneySea Goes Viral—And Yikes!

Disney princesses are usually known for their whimsical singing and befriending creatures from all across the animal kingdom, but Princess Rapunzel at Tokyo DisneySea may have misunderstood the assignment.

Earlier this week, Rapunzel was caught on video at DisneySea in Tokyo, but she didn't go viral for her cheery demeanor or her singing voice, which passers-by can hear from the base of her elegant tower. Rather, it was a pair of intruders who put her in the spotlight.

And a TikToker has followed that lead by developing a chart that predicts a man's political persuasion based on his hair alone—and bald men are NOT happy about it.

Republicans Slammed For Soulless One-Word Response To Democrats' Trans Day Of Visibility Tweet

According to research by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, transgender people in the United States were over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime based on statistics from 2017-2018. A study by the non-profit Everytown for Gun Safety found the number of trans people murdered in the U.S. nearly doubled between 2017and 2021.

In the last 5–9 years, those figures have only increased as the Republican Party has made trans people the target of many of their political campaigns and legislative actions.

Pete Hegseth Slammed After Calling Off Investigation Into Army Helicopter Fly-By At Kid Rock's House

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized for calling off the U.S. Army's investigation after MAGA musician Kid Rock posted a video of an Army Apache helicopter doing a fly-by at his Nashville home.

The video shows Kid Rock saluting as the aircraft hovers near his property, standing next to a replica Statue of Liberty by his pool. In the brief clip, a helicopter that appears to be an AH-64 Apache—an attack helicopter used by the U.S. Army and National Guard—flies at low altitude near his estate in Whites Creek.
