Shailene Woodley Fiercely Defends Miley Cyrus
Miley's harmless, after all.

Our April cover girl Shailene Woodley may be a total badass, but she's also one of the kindest young actresses in the business. Instead of feeling competitive towards Hollywood peers, she heaps praise on them!
In an interview with Vanity Fair, The Fault In Our Stars and Divergent star listed the names of the female entertainers she loves most including Kate Winslet, Kirsten Dunst, Laura Dern, Stevie Nicks, and Miley Cyrus.
Woodley might be more inclined to make medicine from wild plants or eat clay than get turnt up, but she has nothing but respect for Miley in all her brazen glory.
"Miley isn't rude or mean or cruel to anyone in her actions," she explained. "She just does herself ... She's not in the world doing mean things. Why are all these parents or all these people freaking out about Miley being herself?"
Individually above all else? That's a notion we can get behind. Keep spreading the love, girl!
