Welcome to The List,

Radar Online says Miley Cyrus is standing by her mom Tish after her dad Billy Ray was caught ripping them in leaked audio and texts. A source says, “She’s still pretty angry with him for the terrible way he treated Tish, but she’s glad he's come to his senses and dumped Firerose, but it’s going to take a whole lot more than that to earn her forgiveness.”

Ryan Reynolds tells the ‘Hot Ones’ that he crushed his ankle a couple of times while working as a forklift operator.  "I crushed my ankle a couple of times on those forklifts...
