After making their relationship TikTok official on Sept. 12, JoJo Siwa surprised Avery Cyrus (no relation to Miley) with a picnic on the beach for their one-month anniversary. "Celebrating our 1 month in the most special way," Siwa captioned a sweet video of their date. "Happy 1 month to the happiest girl who makes me more happy than ever."
Speaking with Popsugar about her recent #JiggleWithUs partnership with Ocean Spray, Siwa says the moment was a "huge milestone" in their relationship. And it's leading up to even more firsts, including their first holiday season together as a couple.
As Thanksgiving approaches, Siwa says she and Cyrus will likely be spending the holiday separately with their families, but she has something special in mind for their celebration together. "We will definitely have a little Thanksgiving, a little Christmas special spectacular together," she says.

JoJo Siwa's Dancing With the Stars run has been a breath of fresh air for fans seeking more authentic queer representation on their TV screens. As semi-finalists in the competition, 18-year-old JoJo and her partner, Jenna Johnson, have already made history as the first same-sex couple to appear on the show, and JoJo knows how much it means to her fans to see them compete.
"There are points in time where Jenna and I will forget we're two girls dancing together and this has never been done before," JoJo told Popsugar. "It just feels so natural. I think me coming out and my journey has helped a lot of other people, and that's what I want to continue to do . . .

JoJo Siwa, the 17-year-old singer, dancer, actor and YouTube personality, has come out as gay, after alluding to it on social media over the past couple days.
Siwa first hinted at her coming out in a TikTok video posted to her over 31 million (and growing) followers on Thursday. In the video, she dances to “Born This Way,” the 2011 smash hit by Lady Gaga widely regarded as an LGBTQ anthem. The video has more than 4.5 million likes and 25 million views, by far Siwa’s most popular video on TikTok. Out of the over 260,000 comments on the video, several prominent YouTube influencers, such as James Charles, Colleen Ballinger, Nikkie de Jager, Bretman Rock and more, congratulated and praised her.
On Friday, Siwa posted a more definitive message, sharing a photo of herself wearing a shirt that reads “Best. Gay. Cousin. Ever.” and saying her cousin got it for her.

Hold on! In a world plagued by problems such as nuclear warfare and cancer we are supposed to sympathise with a girl simply because she is taller than her friends?!
The absurdity doesn't end there. This is just the beginning. All of Jodie's friends make 'tall' jokes and reduce her self esteem to smithereens. Boo hoo.
With friends like these, "Tall Girl" is easily the stupidest film I've seen in years. It may think being inane is being equivalent to being young. But the young today cannot be treated as dimwits just because it suits a certain audience demographic that exists only in the marketing factory's mind.
Unlike "Eighth Grade", "Ingrid Goes West" or even "Booksmart", recent films that tried to enter the pre-adult American girl's mindzone, "Tall Girl" is a furiously idiotic girl-in-a-spin saga, tacky in its ideology and tattered in its plot construction.

Tall Girl is the latest teen rom-com from Netflix and comes from first-time director Nzingha Stewart and first-time screenwriter Sam Wolfson. Ava Michelle stars and is joined by Steve Zahn, Angela Kinsey, Luke Eisner, and Griffin Gluck. The dramedy follows the tallest girl in high school as she struggles to maneuver the social pressures of high school. Netflix has made a lot of movies like this, but how does this Netflix original compare to the others in the streaming service’s original catalog? Does it fall short, or does it stand tall in comparison?

Being the tallest girl in school definitely limits your romantic prospects. However, when your school gets a new Swedish exchange student who is both tall and devastatingly hot, your prospects suddenly aren't looking so bad. Netflix's latest rom-com, Tall Girl, stars beautiful dancer Ava Michelle as a high schooler who, due to her 6'1" height, can't manage to find a boyfriend - that is, until she meets 6'2" Stig, played by Luke Eisner.
Who is Luke Eisner, you ask? This may be his first Netflix movie, but it isn't his first Netflix project - he appears as Cody in an episode of Netflix's new sitcom Family Reunion. The 23-year-old actor also happens to be both a musician and a model, having landed campaigns with H&m, American Eagle, Calvin Klein, and Ralph Lauren. Does he sound too good to be true? Just wait until you see these sexy photos of him.

To add to the list of teen-flicks we will be shamelessly watching on Netflix, Tall Girl, starring Ava Michelle, is upon us. The Netflix original movie follows the life of Jodi (played by Michelle), who is the tallest girl in her high school at just 16 years old. With Ava towering over all of her costars (aka classmates) in the film, it makes you wonder if she is that tall in real life or if it's some sort of movie magic mind trick. So, how tall is Ava from Tall Girl? According to her Instagram bio, 6'1" to be exact - just like Jodi in the Netflix original.
At just 17 years old, Michelle is an actress, dancer (she appeared on a few episodes of Dance Moms back in the day), model, and singer-songwriter, and despite the character she plays in Tall Girl, she appears to be embracing all 73 inches of her height to the fullest.

Netflix is slowly but surely solidifying itself as the buzziest destination for new, original romantic comedies, and the latest addition to its collection looks promising: Tall Girl.
The upcoming film stars Ava Michelle as Jodi, a 6'1" 16-year-old who's always been uncomfortable with how her height makes her stand out from the rest of her classmates, even with the love and support of her two best friends. Constantly bummed out because there are no guys taller than her in school, things start looking up when handsome (and very tall!) exchange student Stig (Luke Eisner) arrives and seems interested in her. With the help of her beauty queen older sister Harper (The Hate U Give's Sabrina Carpenter), Jodi gets a makeover of not only her outward appearance, but also her inner confidence (aww).
The film, which hails from director Nzingha Stewart, also stars Angela Kinsey and Steve Zahn as Jodi and Harper's parents.

"Face your fears, Jodi." Netflix has debuted an official trailer for a drama titled Tall Girl, which is indeed about a tall girl. What an original name for this. Ava Michelle stars as Jodi, a girl in high school who is 73 inches tall - 6', 1". She's always been uncomfortable with it. After slouching her way through life for 16 years and being made fun of by classmates, Jodi meets Stig, a seemingly perfect Swedish foreign exchange student who's even taller than she is. Jodi's new crush turns her world upside down and throws her into a surprising love triangle. The cast includes Luke Eisner, Griffin Gluck, Sabrina Carpenter, Paris Berelc, Steve Zahn, Angela Kinsey, and Anjelika Washington. At first glance, this doesn't look any good - so campy. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Nzingha Stewart's Tall Girl, direct from Netflix's YouTube: Jodi (Ava Michelle), the tallest girl in her high school,...

Netflix has launched production in New Orleans on the comedy movie “Tall Girl,” with newcomer Ava Michelle in the title role following a worldwide casting call.
Michelle, who fits the billing at 6-foot one-inch, will play a 16-year-old who is the tallest female at a high school, where she has never felt completely comfortable.
“It was essential for us to find an actor to portray our lead who can speak to the challenges and lessons that Jodi experiences from a very personal place of authenticity,” said Nzingha Stewart, the film’s director. “Ava’s ability to beautifully and uniquely showcase those attributes stood out to us in a way that we believe audiences will connect with. ‘Tall Girl’ showcases that embracing the very qualities that make you different is what allows you to overcome anything.”
Griffin Gluck (Netflix’s “American Vandal”) will star as the best friend of Michelle’s character.

Netflix has cast actor-dancer-model Ava Michelle to star in Tall Girl, its upcoming original high school comedy movie being directed by Nzingha Stewart. The newcomer leads a cast that includes Griffin Gluck (American Vandal), Luke Eisner (The Goldbergs) and Sabrina Carpenter (The Hate U Give) along with Steve Zahn and Angela Kinsey.
Shooting is underway in New Orleans after an open search was conducted last fall for a lead actress 5-foot-10 or taller and between the ages of 13-21. They eventually landed on Michelle, who is 6-foot-1, to make her feature film debut playing Jodi, the tallest girl in her school who has never quite felt comfortable in her own statuesque skin.
All of that changes when she falls for the handsome (and equally tall) foreign exchange student Stig (Eisner) who, of course, gets Jodi’s quirky, best, male friend Dunkleman (Gluck) and his hippie mom as a host family.
