Christina Aguilera Talks ‘Getting Into My Family Roots’ for Upcoming Latin Album
“I’m an artist first, rather than trying to be critical as an A&R,” Aguilera tells Billboard of her mindset for selecting a winner. “So, I’m just going to go with my mood and what feels good. I’m looking for people who are really experimental as I’ve always been in my music – try different things, collaborate with other people and musical styles. I really like to have fun with music at the end of the day and get as creative as possible. Sometimes a little sweet, sometimes a little tart, depending on my mood! It’s just people who are able to have fun with that concept and be themselves and get into that individuality of it.” As a former coach on The Voice and a star who loves helping up-and-coming singers, the contest fit naturally for Aguilera. &#...

Britney Spears’ Conservator Claims Dad Used $2M of Star’s Funds for His Defense
Montgomery asked Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny on July 7 to approve that the 24/7 protection she requested be paid for by the conservatorship, which could cost up to $50,000 a month. Jamie’s attorney Vivian Lee Thoreen filed an opposition the next day, arguing that Montgomery “is not the only person involved in this Conservatorship who has received threatening communications and/or death threats” and suggested other feasible options for security. Montgomery also said in the documents that she and Jamie “should be working as a team to ensure that Ms. Spears’ best interests are being met, that she is on a path to recovery and termination of her conservatorship, and that she is living her best life possible. Instead, Mr. Spea...

Justin Timberlake Sinks an Unexpected Shot on the Golf Course
Justin Timberlake made an impressive shot across the golf course. Although he was there to play golf — as part of a celebrity charity event, the 2021 American Century Championship, in South Lake Tahoe, Nevada — the pop star apparently took a moment to shoot a basketball straight into a hoop from quite a far distance, to wild applause. “Shots between holes @acchampionship #accgolf,” Timberlake captioned the clip, which he posted Sunday (July 11) on Instagram.

Senator Marsha Blackburn Says Taylor Swift Would Be “First Victim” of Socialism
On Thursday, Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn pretended that Taylor Swift supports a nightmarish version of socialism in which women are stripped of their rights, then implied that the pop star is an idiot because Swift herself is a woman, and therefore “would be the first victim” of this imaginary government. Blackburn burped up this overheated word gumbo in a conversation with Breitbart News. The senior Senator from Tennessee was in the middle of warning viewers that if Democrats are elected, their beloved country music would forever be changed to “woke.” “When you talk about country music, and I know the left is all out now and trying to change country music and make it woke,” she said. “When I’m talking to my friends who are musicians and entertainers, I say, ‘If we have a socialist...
