Your Daily Dispatch of Celebrity Shenanigans

Miley Went Dark After Split With Nick Jonas: Break ups are hard, but if you’re Miley Cyrus and you break up with Nick Jonas, it’s extra hard on your hair. “At first I bawled for a month straight. I was so sad. I just went into this weird funk. And I dyed my hair black,” Miley told Seventeen Magazine in their September issue. “When we were dating, Nick wanted me to get highlights – and so I did that, and I got myself looking great. And then, on the day we broke up, I was like, ‘I want to make my hair black now – I don’t want to look pretty; I want to look hard-core’. I was rebelling against everything Nick wanted me to be. And then I was like, ‘I’ve got to be by myself for now, and just figure out who I really am.’” Nothing like a little goth to heal a broken heart!
