Welcome to this week’s review of Nxt, right here on Nerdly. Let’s get straight into it and see what went down on this week’s show!

Match #1: Gauntlet Match – Ricky Saints def. The Vanity Project The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Ricky Saints overcame the Vanity Project in a Gauntlet Match and earned himself a match against Ethan Page at the Great American Bash. First up was the brash Brad Baylor who took the fight to Saints, but the veteran weathered the early storm and hit a picture-perfect Tornado Ddt to pin the young upstart. Ricky Smokes entered next and immediately planted Saints on his shoulder. A sneak attack by Jackson Drake with the referee distracted worsened the injury even more. Saints ultimately beat Smokes with a jackknife cover, but Drake systematically dissected the Nxt Superstar’s compromised limbs. Still, Saints overcame the challenge and hit...

There are so many amazing child actors on General Hospital. Scarlett Spears, who plays Donna, is no exception. She is now spreading her wings and has landed the role of a childhood icon.

From Mob Daughter To Famous Explorer

Donna is the daughter of mob boss Sonny (Maurice Benard) and his ex-wife, Carly (Laura Wright). She is the youngest in a long line of Corinthos children. Spears is perfect in the role and lights up on-screen. The actress has also appeared in Pink’s music video, “Never Gonna Not Dance Again”, as well as other series and commercials.

Spears (who squared off with Maurice Benard) has now been cast in a child’s dream job. She plays young Dora in the new live-action Dora the Explorer feature film, Dora and the Search for Sol Dorado.

Britney Spears uploaded a video of herself on Instagram wearing a red bikini, dancing to flamenco music, before quickly deleting it.

Spears, 43, posted the raunchy video, which showed her also wearing a black mask and boots. A speaker was by her side blasting music.

Despite deleting the video, fans were able to clip it and reupload it online. Spears’ fans responded positively, adding that she looks “energetic” and “well.”

Spears is no stranger to posting suggestive content on her social media pages. In May, she posted a video of herself pulling down her dress, revealing her top.

A majority of the dancing videos that Spears posts include her wearing a wardrobe consisting of a bikini or a short top.

She deleted that video quickly as well. Her frequent video posts have alarmed fans and raised questions about her mental health.

Spears’ son, Jayden Federline, recently stated that he dislikes the...

There are different kinds of stardom. There's the level of fame one achieves by simply being newsworthy for whatever reason in their chosen field, there's the crossover success one attains by appealing to millions of people from different demographics, and then there's the supernova stardom that makes musicians want to become actors, actors become musicians, and athletes become both (typically to their detriment).

As the world entered the 21st century, there were few people more famous than Britney Spears. The teen idol had knocked out two multi-platinum albums, "... Baby One More Time" and "Oops! ... I Did It Again," and caused something of a scandal with her sexy schoolgirl music video for the title track of the former. The provocation worked sensationally in her favor: The public was obsessed with Spears, which led to her landing a hosting gig on "Saturday Night Live" and, predictably, the starring role in a feature film.

The Spear has been associated with several WWE superstars over the years. It asserts dominance and can leave the audience stunned by its sheer impact. Roman Reigns once redefined the Spear and made it his signature move, but the days of him being the only one using it are long gone.

According to The Undertaker, the iconic move has a new owner. Roman Reigns, the man whose name was synonymous with the iconic finisher, has now been eclipsed by a rather interesting character who is now making waves in the WWE. The Phenom has been so impressed by this WWE superstar that he thinks only he should be allowed to deliver the Spear.

Nonfiction entertainment workers who are members of the Writers Guild of America East have ratified a first union agreement with prestige documentary company Story Syndicate.

Story Syndicate employees who belong to the WGA East, roughly 30 in total, many of them producers, unanimously voted to greenlight the deal after it was reached June 6.

Founded in 2019 by husband-and-wife creative duo Liz Garbus and Dan Cogan, Story Syndicate has become a go-to producer of glossy streaming documentaries in recent years, from Netflix’s Icarus and Britney vs Spears to Hulu’s Stolen Youth: Inside the Cult at Sarah Lawrence. The company’s latest is Titan: The Oceangate Disaster, which premiered on Netflix on June 11.

In a statement, Garbus and Cogan called the company’s first WGA contract a “win-win.” The deal, they said, “opens up access to portable healthcare for our freelancers, as well as many other provisions that support our workers’ well-being...

Singer Britney Spears‘ 18-year-old son, Jayden Federline, towered over her in a recently posted selfie featuring the mother and son.

In a short clip posted on Instagram, Spears and Federline stood together smiling in front of a balcony with the singer’s son as he towered over her and held up a phone to take the selfie.

Spears, who disabled the comments on this post, had her hair flipped over one shoulder while Federline wore a white t-shirt and sweatpants.

“Went to church today,” the post’s caption read. “Sang and praised!!!”

On June 9, Spears posted a video of her son driving while the Lenny Kravitz song, “Fly Away,” played in the background.

In the caption, the singer commented on how much Federline had grown.

“He is 6’3 and his hands are so big now,” she mentioned in the caption. “How long am I going to be in shock??? It’s so incredibly crazy,...

Singer Britney Spears condemned two of her former partners after her ex-husband, Sam Asghari, stated that their marriage hurt his career.

In an Instagram post on Wednesday, Spears wrote in the caption that she “dated two complete f—ing a–h—.”

“I realized I loved their dogs more than them, and I think it’s because their dogs bowed to me every time I entered the room,” Spears said.

“Now, the guys were, of course, cruel humans that never even acknowledged me. And never held my hand in the car for six years! I choose animals over people any day!!!”

On June 9, Asghari, who split from Spears in August 2023 after a year of marriage, spoke to Page Six Radio co-hosts Danny Murphy and Ian Mohr about how his past relationship with Spears impacted his career.

“I can’t sit here and lie and say, ‘It wasn’t good for me,...

Britney Spears is Gatsby, Daisy and the green light at the end of the dock in a probing new book that posits the long-troubled pop star as the modern-day Marilyn Monroe. Waiting for Britney Spears is a gonzo tale of fluorescent noir, in which she’s the femme fatale who’s relentlessly stalked by hordes of paparazzi, along with a reluctant, shambolic Britney beat reporter — who may or may not be an exact stand-in for the author.

“I’m calling it a hybrid memoir,” says its writer, Jeff Weiss, who really did spend a stint of his 20s incurring Ptsd on the front lines of the tabloid trenches at magazines like Ok! and Star. (In the book, the slightly fun-house-mirrored depictions are referred to as Hi! and Nova.) “My joke is that it’s my Slaughterhouse-Five,” he says. “My firebombing of Dresden was getting arrested on Brad Pitt’s property.

“Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies,” Aristotle once wrote, and we’d argue Aaron Rodgers just confirmed that old truth, quietly and without the fanfare we usually expect from the famous. At 41, the NFL legend has tossed the biggest pass of his life, and no, we’re not talking about his new contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers. During a press conference on June 10, Rodgers calmly revealed he’s married.

Yes, married. To Brittani. Don’t get confused with Britney Spears. From sporting a mysterious ring at the Barnstable Brown Gala in May to letting a package delay spark the first public mention of Brittani back in 2024 on The Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers has carefully curated this new chapter.

Recent years have seen their fair share of behind-the-camera creatives trying to find their way out from behind the curtain, and sometimes the results are better than you would expect them to be. Conversely, think about Tyler Perry suddenly being in "Alex Cross" or "Don't Look Up" after years of mostly staying behind the scenes (or in drag for his own projects). Seeing a director in this position is not such an uncommon sight anymore, but it's not something just anyone can just do on command. "Special Ops: Lioness" fans were surprised to see Taylor Sheridan in the mix during season 2 of the Paramount series as he played Cody Spears in the tactical drama. His role was something the creative team debated for a while before giving it a go, and viewers responded positively to his presence on a fan-favorite series, which nods towards some of his notable past roles...

Listening to Addison Rae’s self-titled debut feels like wearing your gaudiest dress and stepping into the Chateau Marmont on a hot summer day. There are glistening turquoise pools, loads of cigarettes, diamond jewelry, and everything is doused in the golden Los Angeles sun. At the center of the glamour stands Rae in stilettos. She’s a self-assured, cheeky girl-next-door shedding her past and stepping into this new chapter with her unique ability to set a distinct vibe.

For Rae, it’s incredibly important to build this world. After all,...

Jeff Weiss has a lot to say. He’s in the middle of a Zoom, which has swerved from the early-2000s Los Angeles club scene, to his favorite hard-boiled detective novels, to what it was like in the pre-iPhone era when we all had to print out directions on MapQuest. Charlie Brown has been referenced, as has Twin Peaks, more than once. More generally, though, he’s talking about his upcoming book, Waiting for Britney Spears, out June 10 — a semi-autobiographical, semi-fictional, almost 400-page look into America’s most famous...

Paradise City, the production company run by Emilie Georges and Naima Abed, is set to make an animated documentary about the life of Fredy Hirsch, the German Jewish and gay prisoner who led children’s programming in Terezin and Auschwitz. BIFA-nominee Tom C J Brown (“Christopher at Sea”) will direct the feature.

Paradise City, which is based in London and Paris, will produce “The Fredy Hirsch Story” (working title), alongside “Nomadland”‘s Oscar-winning producer Peter Spears through his company Cor Cordium, and Emmy-nominee Maor Azran (“Buried”).

The project marks Paradise City’s first foray into the animation space, and a reunion for producers Spears, Georges, Abed who previously collaborated on Luca Guadagnino’s Oscar-nominated “Call Me By Your Name” and most recently on Anthony Chen’s “Drift,” starring Cynthia Erivo.

The doc will feature original research conducted by Jody Becker, a New York Times editor who first uncovered Hirsch’s...

Welcome to the results and review of this past weekend’s Nxt: Battleground pay-per-view, which continues the “Battleground” branding handed down from the main roster, where the PPV started Ten years ago! Let’s see what happened on this much-anticipated show…

Match #1: Sol Ruca def. Kelani Jordan The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Sol Ruca dazzled once again as Nxt Women’s North American Champion and defeated her rival Kelani Jordan in another incredible match. With Zaria watching at ringside backing up Ruca, the two Superstars traded remarkably athletic moves and shared a moment of respect before locking up again. The new attitude of Jordan paid off as she grounded the high-flying Ruca and targeted the champion’s knee, increasing the concern of Zaria on the outside. Both Superstars looked for the winning blow, as Ruca hit an Avalanche X-Factor but Jordan’s attempt at an Avalanche Poison-...

The life of an iconic American figure is explored in a two-night Sitting Bull documentary. Narrated by Mo Brings Plenty (Yellowstone), the docuseries, premiering May 27 and 28 on History Channel, shines a light on the heroic life and legacy of the Lakota chief. Sitting Bull fought and guided his people through constant conflict with United States forces up until his death in 1890 at the age of 59. The cinematic scenes help tell the story with Kul Wičaša Lakota actor Michael Spears playing the legendary figure. This particular project, executive produced by Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way Productions, hits home for the 47-year-old. Spears’ credits include Dances with Wolves, 1923 and Reservation Dogs. Needless to say, the importance of this particular role is not lost on the indigenous actor. Here Spears opens up about the making of the project and the importance of telling an authentic story that properly honors Sitting Bull. History Channel...

Besides being famous as the ‘Princess of Pop’ and being one of the best-selling music artists of all time, Britney Spears has been the talk of the town for a lot of other reasons as well. While all the infamous stunts connected to her are one thing, yet another one of her stints that fans just can’t seem to forget is her performance at the 2007 VMAs.

Turns out, a night before the event, the singer was reportedly spotted partying all night with the now-disgraced music mogul P Diddy, along with other celebrities in attendance. However, as forgettable as that rendition may have been for fans, Spears claims there were different reasons behind her performance falling short of everyone’s expectations.

Britney Spears made headlines when she lit a cigarette mid-flight on May 22.

Smoking on planes is a violation of federal aviation regulations. Spears reportedly put the cigarette out at the request of flight attendants on the charter plane. Following the flight, authorities issued Spears a warning about her conduct.

The day after, Spears took to Instagram to share her side of the story, starting off a lengthy statement with, “Me yesterday!!! It’s actually incredibly funny!!”

Alongside a video of herself on the flight with a bottle, party hat and flower choker, Spears wrote, “Some planes I’ve been on you can’t smoke mostly but this one was different because the drink holders were on outside of seat!!! Confession, it was my first time drinking Vodka!!! I swear I felt so Smart !!! I was like, Wow, what the heck is in there!!! I felt so clear and smart!!! And...

Britney Spears has admitted to lighting a cigarette while on a plane. On May 22, while on a charter plane flight, Spears lit a cigarette mid-flight. She reportedly put it out at the request of flight attendants and authorities issued a warning to the pop star at the airport once the plane landed.

On Friday, Spears addressed the incident on Instagram, confirming that what had been reported was true. Calling it “incredibly funny,” she wrote, “Some planes I’ve been on you can’t smoke mostly but this one was different...

The Britney Spears conservatorship was a big story, and the “Free Britney” campaign celebrated their success. However, some critics think they were wrong. Read on to find out why.

That Latest Newsworthy Behavior

TMZ recently reported an incident involving Britney on a private flight from “Cabo San Lucas” to Los Angeles. According to their sources, which included a video, Spears allegedly began drinking on the plane and then “lit a cigarette,” which violated aviation rules.

Britney on The Ellen Show

Flight attendants reportedly instructed her to put the cigarette out, “which she did,” but her behavior was described as “difficult.” After the privately hired jet landed at Lax, authorities reportedly met her and issued a warning, though she was allowed to leave. Naturally, the incident once again made people question the singer’s mental health.

The Response By Britney

Later, the outlet reported that Britney Spears responded to the news.

On May 22, Britney Spears caused trouble on a private jet and received a warning from authorities upon landing. The commotion occurred on her flight from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, to Los Angeles. Spears began drinking and later lit a cigarette mid-flight. Although she put the cigarette out when asked by flight attendants, the singer caused enough trouble for Customs officials to issue her a warning upon arrival at Lax.

Fans have begun to speculate if there are deeper issues that may have fueled this behavior. Many are aware of Spears’ mental health struggles in recent years due to the legal fight over her conservatorship. But even after being released, her mental health has suffered, according to those close to her.

In recent weeks, Spears has posted numerous bizarre social media posts where she dances and sometimes speaks with a fake British accident.

The pop star recently split from her ex-con boyfriend,...

Reading Time: 3 minutes

We’re at the start of a three-day weekend, and it sounds like Britney Spears is already in vacation mode.

According to a new report from TMZ, the pop icon was taking a private jet from Cabo San Lucas to Lax when she decided to do a little drinking.

One thing led to another, and a presumably tipsy Brit decided to light up a cigarette.

Now, even on a private jet, there are rules.

And the flight crew reportedly approached Britney and asked her to put the cigarette out, which she did.

However, it seems that she continued to be “difficult,” and the crew became so concerned with Brit’s behavior that they...

Match #1: Triple Threat Match – Sean Legacy def. Je’Von Evans and Ashante Adonis The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

WWE Evolve and ID Superstar Sean Legacy stunned everyone when he defeated Je’Von Evans and Ashante “Thee” Adonis in Triple Threat action as North American Champion Ricky Saints watched from the commentary desk. Adonis used his veteran savvy to keep Evans and Legacy at bay, but The Young Og’s bounce was remarkable, especially when he downed both of his opponents with a massive tope to the outside. Out of nowhere, Ethan Page hit the scene and attacked Saints, prompting Evans to take out both with a huge splash to the outside. The chaos left Adonis and Legacy alone in the ring,...

As Sean “Diddy” Combs faces federal charges of s*x trafficking and racketeering, testimony from his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura has become central to the prosecution’s case. Ventura, who dated Combs for over a decade, has detailed years of alleged abuse, control, and coercion, which began when she was just 21.

Her testimony has drawn multiple high-profile names into the spotlight, names that were caught in the orbit of Combs’ alleged misconduct. One unexpected name that stood out this week was Britney Spears. Ventura told the court that Spears was present the night Combs first made a move on her, which marks the start of something far more sinister.

When Coco Jones decided to sample and interpolate Britney Spears’ classic “Toxic” for her recent single “Taste,” she knew she was taking a risk — and some pop fans were, in fact, offended. But for the golden-voiced R&b/pop star, those kinds of choices were the whole point of her debut album, Why Not More?, which aims to both embrace and move beyond the classic R&b of her breakthrough hit, 2022’s fantastic “ICU.”

“I figured it was gonna ruffle feathers, because of course it’s something so sacred,” Jones...

Pop star Britney Spears flaunted her figure in yet another unhinged clip posted to social media, which was quickly deleted and replaced by a less scandalous one.

In the first video, Spears danced and spun around in a silky white dress, pulling the top part down to flash her breasts here and there. She maintained excited, sultry eye contact with the camera in her trademark style.

However, shortly after posting the video, Spears took it down and replaced it with a less racy version. The new clip similarly saw Spears dance around in a sensual manner, making eye contact with the camera, but sans such risqué moves.

Other recent videos have included her discussing chipped nails in a fake British accent.

Spears recently confessed to her followers that she has been self-isolating a great deal as of late. In a video shared last week, and now deleted, Spears tells the camera,...

Working on television these days doesn’t guarantee the riches you think it does, Bobby Lee said recently on his Tigerbelly podcast, hosting a reunion of some of his MADtv co-stars. “I know dudes in my life that are series regulars on a couple of shows, no one knows their name,” he said. “They don’t make any money. They make less than what we made on Mad, which was the lowest that you can make.”

What did Lee make, wondered old cohort, Mo Collins.

“In the beginning? $4,000 an episode,” Lee answered.

“What did you end up at?” Collins countered. “I’m genuinely curious.”

Lee refused to give an amount until Collins answered the same question. “Fifteen (thousand),” she said. “What did you end up at?”

“Twenty,” Lee confessed.

“Fuck my life,” Collins responded.

Debra Wilson and Aries Spears also revealed that they topped out at $15,000, making Lee the focal point of their ire.

They can dry their tears on all their money, no doubt, but being documented everywhere you go is such torture that it’s the basis of several episodes of Black Mirror. It’s only natural to develop a somewhat antagonistic relationship with the hordes of photographers who follow a celebrity. Many of them just throw punches, but…

5 Paris Hilton Wore an Anti-Photography Scarf

Apparently, 2016 was the year Hilton got sick of getting attention. She began wearing a scarf designed by Saif Siddiqui to reflect so much light that it causes a camera’s flash to backfire, leaving everything but the scarf in the dark in the resulting photo. Then she posed for a bunch of paparazzi photos. Honestly, queen behavior.

Match #1: Six Man Tag Team Match – DarkState def. Joe Hendry and Hank Walker & Tank Ledger The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

The trio of Tna World Champion Joe Hendry and Nxt Tag Team Champions Hank & Tank looked like nothing short of a dream team but it soon turned into a nightmare for them. The numbers advantage for DarkState proved dividends as Saquon Shugars knocked Walker off the top rope, giving his team a strong advantage. Just when it seemed that momentum shifted, Trick Williams appeared and took out Hendry, allowing DarkState to destroy Ledger and win the match.

The Neighborhood’s penultimate season ends in just a few days with the finale airing on Monday, May 5. This comes before the eighth and final chapter, which is scheduled for the 2025–26 television season. The beloved sitcom was also meant to continue with a previously announced spin-off centered on Malcolm (Sheaun McKinney) and Marty (Marcel Spears), but that was unfortunately cancelled last month. Nevertheless, CBS is giving fans a glimpse of what the show would’ve looked like in new images from the Season 7 finale.

In the photos shared via TVLine, we get a look at the stars who would’ve joined the Malcolm-and-Marty spinoff besides McKinney and Spears. Similar to The Neighborhood Season 8, the untitled offshoot was being eyed for the 2025-26 TV season and would have seen Calvin (Cedric the Entertainer) and Tina’s (Tichina Arnold) adult sons “embark on new adventures, finally leaving their parents’ nest to start...

Britney Spears Audition Tape Close-Up(Photo Credit –Instagram)

The Notebook almost had a different leading lady. A pop princess, to be exact. Long before Rachel McAdams cemented her place in rom-com royalty, Britney Spears came shockingly close to playing Allie Hamilton—and her long-lost audition tape just resurfaced with a jaw-dropping price tag: $1 million.

The never-before-seen clip hit eBay with the title (via Cheatsheet): “Rare: Britney Spears Audition For ‘The Notebook’ – One of a kind – original.” According to the seller, the tape was recorded in 2002 on a Sony Hi8mm camera and featured Spears reading opposite Ryan Gosling. Clocking in at just under 10 minutes, it was described as being in “brand new condition.” But here’s the catch—it was strictly for personal use only and not up for public distribution.

In the listing, the seller teased: “The Notebook made Rachel McAdams a star. Little does anyone know, Britney...

Hollywood is full of shocking confessions, whether it’s a star admitting they’ve binge-watched their own movies or revealing their deepest paparazzi frustrations. Celebrities have a way of turning the most casual comments into headline gold, especially when they talk about their not-so-glamorous experiences. Take Ben Affleck, for instance; this guy’s got zero love for the paparazzi and makes no effort to hide it.

In a recent interview, Affleck opened up about how much he loathes the constant camera flashes and how they mess with his life. And, in a move that had everyone raising their eyebrows, he casually mentioned Britney Spears while venting about the whole paparazzi circus. Talk about unexpected! It’s funny how a random name drop can suddenly make the whole paparazzi issue even more intriguing.

The Neighborhood won’t be expanding its boundaries any further, at least not for now. Two spin-offs of the long-running sitcom were in development, including one centered on a new character named Francois, a.k.a. Crutch, and another focused on fan-favorite brothers Marty and Malcolm Butler. The former, which previously cast Tracy Morgan as its titular lead, has already been ordered to series at Paramount+. Unfortunately, the latter did not receive the same fate, as CBS has officially announced it will not be moving forward with the project. The news comes as the network continues to apply finishing touches to its programming lineup for the 2025–2026 TV season, which will include The Neighborhood Season 8, announced as the final outing for the beloved sitcom.

The cancelled spin-off had yet to be titled, but a story had already been mapped out. According to the official synopsis, it would have followed Marty (Marcel Spears...

Before they became the legendary Golden Trio who saved the wizarding world in the adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter novels, Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe, and Rupert Grint were just three nervous kids stepping into their first-ever press conference. Flashback to the year 2000—Britney Spears ruled the charts, and Hogwarts hadn’t yet opened its cinematic gates.

During their very first Harry Potter press conference, the adorable trio was asked a golden question: “How do you plan to spend your first big paycheck from The Sorcerer’s Stone?” Spoiler alert: No one said Bertie Botts or Firebolts. But their answers were truly charming and hilarious. So, grab your Time-Turner, and we’ll go back to where the magic began!

Aimee Lou Wood made waves last weekend when she called out Saturday Night Live for a White Potus sketch that featured a “mean” impression — mainly, Sarah Sherman impersonating Wood with a massive pair of prosthetic front teeth. “Last thing I’ll say on the matter. I am not thin-skinned. I actually love being taken the piss out of when it’s clever and in good spirits,” she said on her Instagram Stories, per Deadline. “But the joke was about fluoride. I have big gap teeth, not bad teeth.”

Wood is hardly the first to get prickly about SNL’s insensitive impressions. Here are seven more celebrities who hated being ridiculed on Saturday Night Live…

According to the Hulu documentary, Britney Spears’s life under conservatorship didn’t just come with control, it came with bugs in her bedroom and an iPhone that wasn’t really hers.

Released just days before Netflix’s Britney vs. Spears, this doc dug even deeper. Directed by Samantha Stark and produced by Liz Day, Controlling Britney Spears amplified the pop star’s claims with jaw-dropping witness accounts. One, in particular, was hard to ignore.

Alex Vlasov, a former Black Box Security employee, worked on Britney’s security detail for nearly a decade. And his revelations painted a chilling picture of what went on behind the scenes. According to Vlasov, her father, Jamie Spears, took surveillance to a whole new level.

Pop singer Britney Spears has ended her relationship with controversial boyfriend Paul Richard Soliz for the second time.

Soliz, who was previously convicted of possession of a firearm and unlawful possession of ammunition, moved his belongings out of the ex-couple’s shared Los Angeles-area home. The pair broke up after Valentine’s Day, when they were spotted at a Jack-in-the-Box for dinner with Soliz’s children.

Spears has sparked concern recently, alarming fans with multiple social media videos using a fake British accent.

Spears reportedly had a good relationship with Soliz’s children. Although she was previously spotted at an indoor playground with two of his nine children in San Fernando Valley, California, she spent most of her time with his sons.

An eyewitness at the playground said the other parents didn’t interact with Spears after realizing she was enjoying the afternoon with the children.

Britney Spears’ odd behavior has continued to inspire concern for her well-being among her fans, as she shared a video of herself with chipped nails.

In a video posted to social media on Saturday, Spears relaxed at her $11.8 million mansion in Calabasas, California, with messy hair. She showed the camera her chipped nails and explained her trouble maintaining their health over the years in a British accent.

She told fans, “Like really little, so little it’s weird, but I have a little bitty pinky nail… I haven’t had nails since I was in seventh grade. I’m like, like, freaking out. They’re really, really tiny, but still.”

While some fans have expressed their alarm that Spears’ mental health is taking a plunge, calling it “frightening,” others have commended her honesty regarding everyday problems many people experience, one person writing, “Poor Brit can’t even post about nails.

Did Britney Spears almost date Prince William? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Even pop royalty faces royal snubs. Can you believe it? Britney Spears, the one and only, spilled some tea. It turns out she once had a virtual vibe when going with Prince William. Emails were exchanged, and dinner plans were hatched. But guess what? The royal RSVP turned into a royal ghosting!

The Princess of Pop dished on this during a chat on a British talk show. She told Frank Skinner about their brief online connection. They traded emails for a bit, she revealed. William was even supposed to swing by and see her. But, alas, it never actually happened.

“Yeah, it was just like, all blown out of proportion — we exchanged e-mails for a little bit and he was supposed to come and see me somewhere but it didn’t work out,” the songstress explained on The Frank Skinner Show.

1923 never held back on the heartbreak, but one scene in Season 2 hit way too close to home. Taylor Sheridan already has a reputation for such moments — we even dub his work a “Red Wedding” factory. But this time, reality bled into fiction in a way we really didn’t see coming. A real-life tragedy shadowed a pivotal scene.

Sheridan’s signature storytelling is torturous enough, but knowing the emotions behind this moment were 100% real? That took it to another level. We braced for drama, but what we got was something far more personal.

1923 just gave us another emotional shocker, but this time, the heartbreak was excruciatingly real. In the Sunday, March 30 episode, Pete Plenty Clouds met a tragic fate, just months after the real-life loss of Cole Brings Plenty, the actor who originally played him.

1923 was dealt a huge blow when Season 1 cast member Cole Brings Plenty passed away in 2024. He played Pete Plenty Clouds in the Yellowstone origin story series, and the character was set to return in Season 2. Following Brings Plenty's death, the role was recast, with Jeremy Gauna taking over. In the Sunday, March 30 episode of 1923, several characters, including Pete Plenty Clouds, were killed off. Gauna admitted to The Hollywood Reporter that filming Pete's death brought up complicated feelings given Brings Plenty's untimely death. "It was very difficult, especially with everything that happened in real life to Cole," he said in an interview. "Cole had so much expectations with the character. He had so much joy knowing that he was getting to be a part of six episodes, and that was taken away from him abruptly," he continued, reflecting on how Cole's death robbed the young actor of his potential. Gauna discussed...

Singer and entertainer Britney Spears released her debut album in 1999, entitled ‘Baby One More Time’ which swiftly moved to number one in 15 countries. Since then she has released six more albums, sold over 85 million records and has become a household name around the world. Despite this overwhelming success, she has found ample time to support numerous charities, and even created her own foundation as a way of further giving back.

Having danced since the age of three, the Louisiana native believes deeply in the value of the arts in child development; her own Britney Spears Foundation offers children in long-term hospital care the opportunity to perform and express themselves.

She also supports a number of children’s charities such as the Elevate Hope Foundation, Keep A Child Alive and the Luke Neuhedel Foundation.

Charities & foundations supported

[This story contains major spoilers from the penultimate episode of 1923 season two, “The Mountain Teeth of Monsters.”]

The penultimate season two episode of 1923 delivered death after death. A whopping seven bodies were left in wake of the sixth episode from creator Taylor Sheridan, titled “The Mountain Teeth of Monsters.” Everything that happened will barrel the Western saga into what is sure to be a propulsive season finale, but let’s stop for a moment and mourn what was lost.

Michael Spears has been playing Runs His Horse for two seasons on the Yellowstone prequel series, with Jeremy Gauna inheriting his role as Pete Plenty Clouds after the untimely death of original star Cole Brings Plenty. Cole died about two months after the season one finale released. (A cause of death was not revealed.) Cole was the nephew of Mo Brings Plenty, the American Indian affairs coordinator on both 1923 and Yellowstone, playing Mo, the right-hand man to Chief Thomas Rainwater (played by Gil Birmingham), who is a future...

Director Jon M. Chu is clearing the air regarding rumors of potential leads for his upcoming Britney Spears biopic. Chu was set to helm the forthcoming feature after Universal Pictures acquired the rights to Spears' New York Times bestseller The Woman in Me last year. Chu, the talented filmmaker behind Wicked and its upcoming sequel, has shut down speculation of who will lead the film as the Pop Princess. Most recently, he took to X to dispel rumors-among the most mentioned potential stars to take the lead are Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter, and Millie Bobby Brown.

"None of this is true. Sounds exciting but have not had one conversation about casting this movie yet. We are way too early in development. Sorry," Chu shared.

In January, Chu did warn that the road to bringing Spears' life to the big screen would be a long one, a point he seems to...

Oops, the rumor mill has done it again! Despite what you might have heard, Sabrina Carpenter, Ariana Grande, and Millie Bobby Brown are not warring over who gets to play the Princess of Pop, Britney Spears, in Jon M. Chu’s upcoming biopic about the world-famous pop star.

“None of this is true,” Chu wrote regarding Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter, and Millie Bobby Brown competing to play Britney in a movie about her extraordinary life. “Sounds exciting, but I have not had one conversation about casting this movie yet. We are way too early in development. Sorry.”

Universal, the studio behind Chu’s magical adaptation of Wicked, starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, bought the rights to Spears’s biopic last August. The film brings stories from Britney’s “The Woman in Me” memoir to life on screens, though casting has yet to commence. The biopic is still in its early development stage,...

Following the successful theatrical run of Wicked, director Jon M. Chu has begun to turn his attention to a musical biopic project about none other than the iconic "Princess of Pop" Britney Spears. The planned feature, which was announced last year, will be based on the pop superstar's hit memoir The Woman in Me. Of course, fans have started to lay down some of their dream casts for the highly coveted role. A report also circulated online, suggesting that Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter, and Millie Bobby Brown are battling for the role. The director then quickly debunked the casting rumor, revealing that they are still in the early stages of development.

While Chu admits the names mentioned “sounds exciting,” he also confirmed that they haven’t even discussed who will star in the musical biopic. The director responded to a report claiming that the three mentioned artists are battling for the role.

Jon M. Chu is shutting down casting rumors surrounding his upcoming Britney Spears biopic movie. The “Wicked” director told fans on X that his movie is not even in the casting process yet as reports circulate claiming that Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter and Millie Bobby Brown are battling it out to play the iconic pop star on the big screen.

“None of this is true,” Chu wrote in response to Grande, Carpenter and Brown being contenders. “Sounds exciting but have not had one conversation about casting this movie yet. We are way too early in development. Sorry.”

Chu directed Grande to an Oscar nomination in “Wicked,” and the duo have the second movie, “Wicked: For Good,” arriving in theaters this November. The musical’s film studio, Universal Pictures, is backing the Britney Spears biopic, as is “Wicked” producer Marc Platt. Universal landed the rights to the biopic last August. The...
