Celebrities are selling their tears online and it’s all gone a bit too far
This is not a drill. We repeat. This is not a drill.

Being a celebrity in this day and age means many things - red carpet appearances, constant Instagrams and endless TV appearances.
Another part of being a millennial celebrity is the endless merchandise, selling signed memorabilia in all shapes and sizes, with one celebrity taking it to a whole new level this week, going as far as to sell her tears.
Yes, really. It has got to the point where celebrities are selling their tear drops, and no one knows what to do.
Confused? We’ll talk you through.
Noah Cyrus (yup, that’s Miley Cyrus’ little sister and Make Me Cry singer) dropped some merchandise this week on PizzaSlime.com. And while it mainly consisted of what you’d expect - funny t-shirts of her dad Billy Ray Cyrus’ face, cool ‘Noah Cyrus Sucks’ sweatshirts and hilarious mugs, there was one item that caused a storm.
The item in question? A bottle of Noah Cyrus’ tears.

Yes, really. Noah Cyrus is selling 12 of her tears on the internet for £9,000 after her break up from US rapper Lil Xan - and we don’t know what the world is coming to.
Neither it seems does the internet, with Twitter exploding in response.
‘Noah Cyrus is selling her tears for $12,000 after her split with Lil Xan honestly breakup goals,’ tweeted one Twitter user (@galacticalycia). While another user (@highbythebeach) joked: 'Imagine buying $12,000 noah cyrus tears and the tears evaporate in the heat while shipping?'
Judging by the website, it looks like the tears haven’t sold just yet, unsurprising seeing as there’s nothing to actually do with them!
