Miley Cyrus says her house burnt down while filming ‘Black Mirror’ episode
Miley Cyrus has revealed her house burnt down while she was filming Black Mirror.The singer and actor, who starred in season five episode Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too as fictional popstar Ashley O, recalled how her house in Malibu was affected by the 2018 Woolsey fire while she filmed the episode in South Africa.As part of her Used To Be Young series on TikTok, Cyrus explained how the incident contributed to an “anxious vision” later in life.“Like probably two or three years later, after this happened, I didn’t understand, but I would have this anxiety attack with a vision attached – that I would be strapped down to a gurney,” Cyrus said. “So I would have these dreams any time I would go to perform.“I thought that was just an anxious vision that made no sense, but actually, as my house was burning down, I was strapped to a gurney with my hands locked in handcuffs, strapped to a bed.”Used To Be Young (Series) – PART 36 ♬ Used To Be Young – Miley Cyrus Later in the clip, Cyrus said, “Found out my house had burnt to the ground, this was the next day,” before showing a clip of her as Ashley O performing track ‘On A Roll’.“The show must go on,” she added.The 2018 Woolsey wildfire burned in Los Angeles and Ventura County in California, killing three people and destroying over 1,600 structures.Cyrus, who lived with her then-partner Liam Hemsworth at the time, described herself as “one of the lucky ones” despite her house burning down in the fires.“My animals and LOVE OF MY LIFE made it out safely and that’s all that matters right now,” Cyrus wrote on Twitter.

Hollywood’s AI proposal likened to ‘Black Mirror’ episode: “Not too far off from reality”
Black Mirror.On Thursday, the Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) officially declared its intention to go on strike, with one of the many areas of concern for the union being the use of AI within the industry.During a press conference, SAG-AFTRA National Executive Director and Chief Negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland said that the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) had made a so-called “groundbreaking” proposal that, with the use of AI, would allow the likenesses of film and television background performers to be used indefinitely.“They propose that our background performers should be able to be scanned, get paid for one day’s pay, and their company should own that scan of their image, their likeness and should be able to use it for the rest of eternity in any project they want with no consent and no compensation,” he said (via Reuters). “So if you think that’s a groundbreaking proposal, I suggest you think again.”Many have since noted that the proposal is eerily reminiscent of the season six Black Mirror episode ‘Joan Is Awful’, in which actors and members of the public have their likeness used in AI-generated TV shows.This scene in Black Mirror's 'Joan is Awful' about how entertainment companies could control a person's likeness and use it as they desire, including data from cellphones, is frightening — and according to the SAG-AFTRA negotiations, not too far off from reality.Chilling.
