Mileys Christmas fun on Twitter
While most of the entertainment industry is taking a break from their commercial activities during the festive season, teen pop sensation Miley Cyrus, whose latest Wrecking Ball video has surpassed well over 400 million views on Vevo, has in her signature way, presented herself in a rather festively explicit way!
In New York for the weekend for The Jingle Ball Tour, the singer took some time off to enjoy the snow and flashed a very naughty Christmas photo in the process!
Miley posted herself on Twitter lifting-up her top with two heart-shaped ‘Merry Christmas’ signs covering her boobs.
“Merry Christmas! Thank you NY for being one of the few states to @freethenipple,” she tweeted.
After her image sparked some negative comments Miley added a new tweet trying to explain her actions. “It’s not about getting your t**s out. It’s about equality,” she proclaimed.
The new Christmas Twitter flash is just the latest incident, following on from her performance on Friday evening at Z100’s Jingle Ball 2013 in New York where she twerked with a Christmas tree onstage.
The 21-year-old was watched by thousands whilst she shook her impertinent bottom in front of a lady dressed as the festive tree and covered in silver tinsel and baubles.
Cyrus has made Claus a very happy Santa!!

Disney to cut 1,000 jobs in major restructuring drive
Layoffs span ESPN, studios and tech as company pivots to growth
MUMBAI: The magic isn’t disappearing but it is being reorganised. The Walt Disney Company has announced plans to cut around 1,000 jobs as part of a sweeping restructuring effort aimed at sharpening its edge in an increasingly unpredictable entertainment landscape. The move, led by CEO Josh D’Amaro, reflects a broader internal reset as the company rethinks how it operates, allocates resources and competes in a fast-evolving industry. In a memo to employees, D’Amaro acknowledged the difficulty of the decision but framed it as a necessary step to ensure Disney remains “efficient, innovative, and responsive” to rapid shifts in consumer behaviour and technology.
The layoffs will span multiple divisions, including marketing, film and television studios, ESPN, technology teams and corporate functions. Notifications have already begun, signalling that the restructuring is not a distant plan but an active transition underway.
Importantly, the company has clarified that the cuts are not performance-driven. Instead, they form part of a wider transformation strategy aimed at building a leaner, more agile organisation, one better equipped to respond to streaming dynamics, digital disruption and evolving audience expectations.
The timing is telling. The global entertainment industry is in the middle of a structural shift, with traditional television revenues under pressure and box office returns becoming increasingly volatile. Meanwhile, streaming platforms and digital-first competitors continue to redraw the rules of engagement, forcing legacy players to rethink scale, speed and storytelling formats.
For Disney, long synonymous with blockbuster franchises and timeless storytelling, the pivot is both strategic and symbolic. The company is doubling down on technology, direct-to-consumer services and content ecosystems that align with modern viewing habits, where audiences expect immediacy, personalisation and cross-platform experiences.
Even as the restructuring unfolds, D’Amaro struck a note of optimism, reiterating Disney’s commitment to creativity and long-term growth. Support measures for affected employees are expected as part of the transition, though details remain limited.
In essence, this is less about cutting back and more about reshaping forward. As Disney redraws its organisational map, the message is clear, in today’s entertainment world, even the most magical kingdoms must evolve or risk being left behind.
