Britney Spears Jokes About Releasing a Book After Jamie Lynn Spears’ Memoir Announcement
One day after Jamie Lynn Spears revealed her upcoming memoir, big sister Britney Spears had some words of her own about planning to release a book. The Zoey 101 actress announced Monday that she would be publishing her book, titled Things I Should Have Said, on Jan. 18, 2022, via Worthy Publishing.

Boston Red Sox Shout Along to Robyn’s “Dancing on My Own” to Celebrate Playoff Win: Watch
After center fielder Kiké Hernández launched the Boston Red Sox into the ALCS on Monday night with a walk-off sac fly, the team celebrated their victory over the Tampa Bay Rays with a beer and champagne-soaked shout-along to Robyn’s classic 2010 pop song “Dancing on My Own.” Ok, so it wasn’t technically Robyn’s version. Via Vanyaland, the Sox were losing their minds to the Tiësto remix of Calum Scott’s cover of “Dancing on My Own” — which happens to be backup catcher Kevin Plawecki’s walkup song. And you know what? That’s just fine. If Boston wins two more playoff series and hoists the World Series Commissioner’s Trophy, only then will they deserve the real thing. In the meantime, enjoy the contact buzz of watching a locker room full of beefy dudes scream “I’m in the corner watch...

Nicki Minaj Goes After Little Mix Amid Blackfishing Backlash Against Jesy Nelson
Nicki Minaj made it loud and clear that she stands by Jesy Nelson after she’s faced accusations of Blackfishing. The accusations of Blackfishing — levied against non-Black influencers and celebrities when they alter their appearances to look Black when they’re not — against Nelson arose following her hip-hop-leaning debut solo single “Boyz,” featuring Minaj, and its accompanying music video, which features her spray tan, multiple wigs, fuller lips and what some have called a “Blaccent” when she sings, “So ‘hood, so good, so damn taboo.” Nelson — a white British woman who left Little Mix, one of the best-selling U.K. girl groups, in December 2020 after nearly a decade, citing mental health reasons — rece...

James Blake Reunites with slowthai for “Funeral” Remix: Stream
James Blake has recruited slowthai for a remix of “Funeral,” a track from Blake’s newly released fifth studio album, Friends That Break Your Heart. In this new version, Blake’s second verse is substituted with a restrained feature from the UK rapper. “I never been one for horror movies,” slowthai spits. “I fall asleep under your tongue, I hope you choose me/ The shadow silhouetting the sun, I’m glued to your feet/ I live in the shadows of, mmm, under the loose leaves.” Otherwise, the remix remains largely unchanged from the original. To accompany the reworked track, Blake shared a black-and-white music video capturing the somber tone of “Funeral.” Watch the full clip below ahead of the duo’s debut performance of the song on the episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon airing on Mo...

Halsey Talks Body Image After Giving Birth: ‘I Will Never Have My Pre-Baby Body Back’
She continued, “The first picture on this slide is days after my baby was already born. A lot of people don’t know that you still look pregnant for a while after. It is still changing and I am letting it. I have no interest in working out right now. I’m too tired and too busy playing with my darling son. With that being said, the body behind all those compliments the other night was wearing a custom tailored outfit and lighted perfectly after much testing, so I could feel good and do my job. I do not want to feed the Illusion that you’re meant to feel and look ‘great’ immediately postpartum. That is not my narrative currently.” The singer then addressed followers who might be parents in their message, saying that she plans to support them along their parenthood jour...
