00:08upcoming X-Men movie, the Breakout Obsession star has already lined up her next big project.
00:13Navaretti is set to star in the sci-fi thriller The Waffle House Index,
00:17which was just picked up by Apple Original Films. And get this, she's not just starring,
00:21she'll also executive produce for the first time. So now she's a Marvel superhero,
00:25a sci-fi leading lady, and an executive producer. Yeah, that resume is leveling up fast.
00:31Miley is back, and apparently one big change this week just wasn't enough for her.
00:35Days after dropping her famous last name, the singer just dropped the first single
00:39and music video from her upcoming album, Bass Persuades.
00:45The title track is a full-on synth pop rush, and the video gives a sultry Miley,
00:50sharp choreography, and a whole lot of dancers, with Miley at the center of it all.
00:54The full 10-track album arrives on September 18th, and the next month she's taking over
00:58the Hollywood Bowl for just two nights to perform Bass Persuades.
01:02But Miley, come on, you're at the Bowl, you have to give us some of the classics, right?

01:28coordinated with someone who claimed to officially represent the singer,
01:31only to later learn that wasn't actually the case.
01:33Suno has now pulled the ad, while Blige's real team declined to comment any further.
