In a new video from Teen Vogue, celebrities of diverse backgrounds like Raven-Symoné and actress Debby Ryan share recorded messages about what makes them proud of who they are. The messages were recorded in honor of the 49 fatal victims of the June 12 Orlando mass shooting at Pulse, an Lgbt nightclub. "Being a female makes me proud. Being a part of the Lgbt community makes me proud," says Symoné. "Being a daughter makes me proud. And being a human being on this earth sometimes makes me proud, but most of the time it does. And having the ability to love." YouTube star Connor Franta,...

Reaction to Miley Cyrus' wild MTV Video Music Awards hosting gig has been mixed at best (just ask Nicki Minaj), but one major star is applauding her for giving a platform to Lgbt youth.
"Love this epic trans moment onstage at this year's #VMAs," Orange Is the New Black star Laverne Cox wrote Tuesday night on Instagram, referring to Cyrus, 22, tapping her transgender friends to help present her performance in honor of the Happy Hippie Foundation during Sunday's show.
Cyrus' organization aims to combat homelessness and other problems that disproportionately affect the Lgbt community.

“I’m not gonna lie, I Googled what inspiration actually means,” Miley Cyrus admitted Tuesday night at the podium for amfAR’s New York Inspiration Gala. She received one of the evening’s Inspiration Awards for her Happy Hippie Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to helping Lgbtq homeless youth. She was introduced by her date for the evening, Tyler Ford, a poet who identifies as agender who works with Happy Hippie. “[Miley Cyrus]’s one of those people who, whenever she speaks, I want to take her hand and say, ‘Me, too,’” Ford said. “It’s not that I agree with everything she says, it’s that I can feel where she’s coming from.” (In case you were wondering, the Google-by-way-of-Miley definition of inspiration is: “It’s something that makes us feel or do something, especially something creative.”) First up onstage, though, was Andy Cohen, Bravo’s Watch What Happens: Live host.

Miley Cyrus is going glam for a good cause! The "Wrecking Ball" singer was recognized for her work in the fight against AIDS on Tuesday night at amfAR's Sixth Annual Inspiration Gala in New York City. Donning a red strapless, custom Moschino gown by Jeremy Scott, the singer hit the red carpet with parents Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus (who suffered a minor nip slip!) She also brought a date, Tyler Ford, a photographer and poet who recently appeared on Oxygen's "The Glee Project." Miley introduced her pal to her fans on Instagram before the event, writing, "Meet Tyler (@tywrent), a 24 year old living in New York City, and my date for @amfar tonight!!!

We are gearing up for the third season of our web series, We Love Soaps TV, lining up more interviews and features than ever. But as we close out our 91 episode second season I wanted to reflect on some of the interviews I did during the year for the show.
I'll never forget (and you don't want to miss!) these moments, showcasing Signy Coleman's passion and compassion; Mimi Torchin's hilarious and insightful candor; Nick Matthews' charisma and wit; Van Hansis' talent and ambition; and Olivia Newton-John's beauty and generosity of spirit.
The cast and crew of the upcoming soap River Ridge were all very inspiring. From Tyler Ford's vision to Signy Coleman's passion, I left this interview feeling even better about the future of the continuing story format on the web or whatever platforms may exist.
Always a blast, Soap Opera Weekly founder Mimi...
