Britney Spears Says She’s ‘Not Even Close’ to Telling the Full Story About Conservatorship
Spears has spoken in the past two hearings in front of Los Angeles Superior Court judge Brenda Penny regarding the conservatorship that has controlled the pop star’s personal life and finances for 13-plus years. Spears made shocking claims in court, including that she’s unable to remove her implanted birth control and have more children and that she was once put on lithium against her will. She was granted the right last week to choose her own attorney after having only court-appointed counsel for the duration of the conservatorship so far. In addition to speaking out in court, Spears has also been newly vocal on social media, with a few scathing posts over the weekend that targeted those closest to her, including sister Jamie-Lynn Spears and dad Jamie Spears. “My so-call...
Watch Jennifer Lopez Expertly Dance Around a Question About Her Ben Affleck Romance
“The song is out, five years since we’ve done it.

Lo’s April split from one-time fiancé former MLB star Alex Rodriguez. Today co-host Carson Daly also rolled tape of Lopez speaking with Apple Music 1’s EBro about the renewed interest in her 2002 album This Is Me… Then album, which, not for nothing, was released when she was dating Affleck the first time. “The name of the album was This is Me… Then, right?

Usher Launches Las Vegas Residency: ‘I Don’t Want to Close the Curtain’
From there, Usher rolled out hit after hit as well as other fan faves curated from a Grammy Award-winning career that began in 1994. The energetic journey down memory lane kicked off with “Caught Up,” followed by “Love in This Club” and “Party” (the Chris Brown song featuring Usher and Gucci Mane). It was a nonstop audience sing-along as Usher and his crew of dancers triggered a slew of oh-wow moments from there, including “Lovers and Friends” and “There Goes My Baby.” During a segment devoted to his Atlanta roots, Usher donned skates along with his dancers and turned the massive Colosseum stage into a giant roller rink as he performed “Don’t Waste My Time” (featuring Ella Mai). Then in a nod to Magic City, Atlanta’s famous strip club, pole dancers showcased their flexibility amid a shower...
Camila Cabello Shows Off Bare Stomach While Sharing Inspiring Message About Body Positivity
“I wasn’t tucking it in, because I was running and existing like a normal person that doesn’t tuck it in all the time,” she continues with sass. “And I was like, ‘Damn.’ But then I reminded myself being at war with your body is so last season.” Cabello goes on to say she’s “grateful” for having a body that “lets me do what I need to do. We are real women with curves and cellulite and stretch marks and fat. And we got to own that, baby.” The singer concludes the post — captioned “I luv my body” — by belting a line from Aretha Franklin‘s “Something He Can Feel” while running her hand across her tummy. This isn’t the first time the “Señorita” singer has shut down body shamers. In 2019, ...
Britney Spears Calls Out Her Dad, Sister and Critics of Her Living Room Dance Videos
She said, “I’d much rather share videos YES from my living room instead of onstage in Vegas where some people were so far gone they couldn’t even shake my hand and I ended up getting a contact high from weed all the time … which I didn’t mind but it would have been nice to be able to go to the mother f—ing spa !!!!” “And no I’m not gonna put on heavy makeup and try try try on stage again and not be able to do the real deal with remixes of my songs for years and begging to put my new music in my show for MY fans … so I quit !!!!” Spears continued, adding a sharp note about her sister, Jamie Lynn Spears: “I don’t like that my sister showed up at an awards show and performed MY SONGS to remixes !!!!!” “M...
Britney Spears Appears to Call Out Family Members In Cryptic Instagram Post
With the #FreeBritney movement at its crux, Britney Spears has become more and more vocal about her 13-year conservatorship and the strain it’s put on her relationships — even those between her and her family members. On Friday night, the pop star shared a cryptic Instagram post that reads: “Never forget who ignored you when you needed them and who helped you before you even had to ask.” While Spears didn’t name names, fans are speculating that her caption was targeted at her family, most notably her sister Jamie Lynn Spears. Spears wrote in the caption: “There’s nothing worse than when the people closest to you who never showed up for you post things in regard to your situation whatever it may be and speak righteously for support … there’s nothing worse than that !!!! How dare the people ...
Christina Aguilera Reimagines Her Biggest Hits With the LA Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl
She then delivered versions of her hits including “Ain’t No Other Man,” “What a Girl Wants,” “Fighter” and, of course, “Genie in a Bottle,” reimagined as compelling orchestral-pop crossovers with the help of both her band and the LA Phil led by Dudamel. Upon seeing the energy of an in-person crowd singing back to her for the first time in more than a year, Aguilera herself got misty eyed. “I hope I got all the tears out of the way,” she told the audience. “I’m a crier, so this morning when I came in for rehearsal, I just got to be a spectator for a moment as [the LA Phil] was rehearsing, and oh my God, this is a moment of a lifetime because my mother was a violinist […] I remember all these images of her pl...
Britney Spears Has a Strong Message for Supporters Who Previously ‘Never Showed Up’ for Her
The singer continued, “How dare the people you love the most say anything at all … did they even put a hand out to even lift me up at the TIME !!!??? How dare you make it public that NOW you CARE … did you put your hand out when I was drowning ???? Again … NO.” Spears’ thoughts were written alongside a text image that read: “Never forget who ignored you when you needed them and who helped you before you even had to ask.” She didn’t specifically name anyone in her post, but noted that the individuals are only speaking up now to “save face for yourself publicly.” “If you’re reading this and you know who you are … and you actually have the nerve to say anything about my situation just to save face for yourself publicly !!!̶...
