Dove Cameron is opening up about the self-image issues she faced as a young Disney star.
The actress and singer, 26, who rose to fame on the Disney Channel comedy series “Liv and Maddie” and in Disney’s “Descendants” films, spoke about her time as a “Disney girl” in a new interview with the LA Times.
“I never had that moment where I was like, ‘I’m a Disney girl,'” she recalled. “I never looked at Miley [Cyrus] or Demi [Lovato] or Selena [Gomez] or Zendaya or Bella [Thorne] or anybody — Hilary Duff or anybody that came before me — I never looked at them and thought, you and me — same.”
She described herself as “always” feeling like “the strange outlier who doesn’t belong and who will never fit in.”

“I had huge imposter syndrome,” she added. “So I don’t really look to anybody else for a roadmap.”
Speaking about the success of her new song “Boyfriend”, Cameron said, “This whole narrative that I was on Disney and then found my way out with a pop song, it was a total f—ing accident.” The track is Dove’s first top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and to date peaked at the No. 16 spot.

Cameron also talked with the LA Times about how her coming out as queer has influenced her music. “Every song of mine is a queer song because I’m a queer artist,” she said. “Does that mean that every song is ‘I am G-A-Y?’ No. I think there’s gonna be a lot of room in my artistry to talk about things other than that I love women.”

A post shared by Melissa Joan Hart (@melissajoanhart)In speaking about her dress, Melissa, 46, said she purchased it in 2000 in Melbourne, Australia. "I wore it on the #LateShow with #JayLeno in 2021 after 9/11 when I only wore red, white and blue for the better part of a year," she said, noting the clothing hangs in her vacation house in Lake Tahoe."It became a July 4th staple in my Tahoe closet in about 2008 and I have since worn it every year minus 2019 when I spent Independence Day on the east coast," she said. Melissa's Instagram post also showed her in the oft-recycled dress standing alongside Hilary Duff and Bryan Cranston — a photo, she said, that was "doctored.""That never actually happened in my memory," she said.

Empire, Cameron said the fact that sci-fi films take so much time to make might mean he won’t be captaining the ship on the final two movies.“The Avatar films themselves are kind of all-consuming,” he told the outlet. “I’ve got some other things I’m developing as well that are exciting.”“I think eventually over time – I don’t know if that’s after three or after four – I’ll want to pass the baton to a director that I trust to take over, so I can go do some other stuff that I’m also interested in.

By the time “Avatar: The Way of Water” hits theaters this December, it’ll have been 13 years between “Avatar” films. While it’s still a big question mark whether James Cameron’s sequel can top the original’s box office ($2.8 billion), 20th Century Studios went all-in on five ‘Avatar’ films long ago, regardless.
As the world eagerly awaits the December premiere of Avatar: The Way Of Water, James Cameron’s sequel to the highest-grossing movie ever, comes word that Cameron may not direct the later two planned films in the series himself.

Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine has opened up on the dismissal of band co-founder David Ellefson last year, saying he’ll “forgive” the former bassist but “just won’t play music with him again”.Ellefson was accused of grooming an underage girl online last year when several explicit screenshots and videos surfaced of the bassist and the girl, who later denied she was underage and said the interactions were consensual.Ellefson also denied the accusations, calling the contents of the images and footage “private, adult interactions that were taken out of context and manipulated to inflict maximum damage to my reputation, my career and family” – but was ultimately fired from Megadeth two weeks after the accusations emerged.“While we do not know every detail of what occurred, with an already strained relationship, what has already been revealed now is enough to make working together impossible moving forward,” read a statement Mustaine issued at the time.“Let me just say this – it was a hard decision that had to be made,” Mustaine has said of Ellefson’s firing in a new interview with Metal Hammer. “There were a lot of people involved and I had to make a decision, because unfortunately, when you’re the leader, you’re the one that has to suck it up and face the music.”Mustaine continued, “All I wanted to do was make a clean break, and not hurt anyone, not hurt the fans and not hurt him.
