Even though the “Oops!... I Did It Again” singer seemingly denied those reports when they first leaked, Charli XCX has confirmed that there is truth to the rumors, although the music was never recorded.
Britney Spears Was Rumored To Be Working On New Music With Charli XCX

Following the release of “Hold Me Closer” with Sir Elton John and “Mind Your Business” with will.i.am, fans of Britney Spears were looking forward to new music from the Princess of Pop.
That’s why fans were ecstatic when sources told The Sun that Charli XCX had been asked to write for Britney's new album.
The insider revealed that, although the two had yet to meet in person, Britney had reportedly given the British pop star "pointers" for what she wants her new music to be about.
“The Britney album is being kept top secret. Work has been going on behind the scenes for quite a while to gather a series of killer songs to bring Britney back with a bang," one source claimed. “She is known as one of the biggest pop stars of the 21st century so there is pressure for the music to be great. Charli has a great track record when it comes to writing clever pop songs."
“She went into the studio earlier in the year to make some songs using Britney’s guidance of what she is after. She came up with a really strong track that is expected to make it onto the album, which Britney’s team hopes will be out in 2024,” they added.
Charli XCX Said She Did Write New Music For Britney Spears

During a recent appearance on “Watch What Happens Live,” Charli XCX insisted that she did write music for Britney Spears, although the “Toxic” singer never recorded her songs.
It leaked to the press. Britney then did this post where she was like, ‘I don’t have random people write for me.’ And I was like, ‘Oh. OK. Go off.’ So I don’t know that she was a part of the process,” Charli explained. “The team were present… But she didn’t record it. She obviously didn’t.”
However, it appears that the “Von Dutch” singer doesn’t have any bad blood for Britney, as she said that Britney singing any of her songs would be “a dream come true.”
Britney Said She Doesn’t Have ‘Random People’ Write About Her
In January 2024, only a few days after the news broke, Britney took to Instagram to insist that she does not have “random people” write songs for her. “Just so we’re clear most of the news is trash,” she wrote in a caption at the time. “They keep saying I’m turning to random people to do a new album … I will never return to the music industry !!!”
“When I write, I write for fun or I write for other people !!! For those of you who have read my book, there’s loads that you don’t know about me … I’ve written over 20 songs for other people the past two years !!! I’m a ghostwriter and I honestly enjoy it that way !!! People are also saying MY BOOK WAS RELEASED WITHOUT MY APPROVAL ILLEGALLY and that’s far from the truth … have you read the news these days ??? I’m so LOVED and blessed !!!”
Britney Spears Shares Insight Into Working With Elton John
Instagram | Elton John
In October 2023, Britney Spears released her memoir "The Woman In Me." The tell-all book touched on everything from her conservatorship to her decades-long career in music. She also opened up about working with Sir Elton John on their 2022 single "Hold Me Closer."
"For some time I hadn’t been thinking about recording. I changed my mind about that when I got invited to record a song with an artist I’ve admired my entire life: Sir Elton John. He’s one of my all-time favorite performers," Britney wrote in her memoir. "I’d met him at an Oscars party about a decade ago and we got along so well. And now here he was reaching out with the sweetest video message, asking if I would be interested in collaborating. I was so honored."
"Like me, Elton John has been through so much, so publicly. It’s given him incredible compassion," she continued. "To make the collaboration even more meaningful: as a child, I listened to 'Tiny Dancer' in the car in Louisiana as I rode to and from my dance and gymnastics classes. … Recording 'Hold Me Closer' and putting it out into the world was a fantastic experience. It didn’t feel good. It felt great."
Even though many fans know her as a country singer and songwriter, the busy mom also has several cookbooks to her name, including “Just Feed Me” and “Just Eat.” In addition to partnering with brands like Waterloo Sparkling Water, the “Lose Control” singer is finally opening up on what foods she craved while she was pregnant and the culinary confection she can never turn down.
Jessie James Decker Reveals What Foods She Craved While She Was Pregnant
The Nashville native has welcomed four children with her husband, Eric Decker, which means it takes a lot to feed a family of six. During her latest partnership with Waterloo Sparkling Water, she revealed that she actually infuses sparkling water into her recipes and doesn’t just drink it straight from the bottle.
“I’ve been a fan of Waterloo Sparkling Water for a while now and was really inspired by their fruit-forward flavors. As a busy mom of now four, I also knew I wanted to create recipes that are quick and easy to make at home and that the whole family will love,” Decker told The Kitchn during an exclusive interview.
While she was pregnant, she revealed that all she craved was “the good stuff,” referring to carbs. “My cravings were pretty much all carbs! I wanted bread, donuts, cinnamon rolls — all the good stuff!” she revealed before she explained that she usually eats healthier when she’s on the go.
Decker Shares Her Hints To Making Meal Prep Easier
Being a mother of four children isn’t easy, which is why the 35-year-old singer said that “food prepping” has become her “lifesaver” when it comes to feeding her busy family. “Whether for breakfast, after-school snacks, or anything in between, having ready-to-grab options that my kids gravitate toward is a huge help,” she explained. “Muffins have become one of my go-tos when food prepping. The kids love them before school or sports practices, and they last throughout the week.”
She also revealed that she incorporates sparkling water into some of her baked goods. “I incorporated Waterloo’s delicious Summer Berry flavor into my muffin recipe, and they have been a hit,” she explained. “The carbonation in sparkling water is great for baking, creating a lighter, and fluffier texture.”
In addition to sparkling water, Decker explained that she always keeps her refrigerator “pretty full” and revealed that she goes grocery shopping “pretty much every day” because she likes “everything to be fresh.” She went on to say, “You will never see my fridge without salted and unsalted butter. I keep that stuff stocked. I always have Parmesan cheese and bacon too.”
Jessie James Decker and her family raise their own chickens, so she revealed that she likes to have scrambled eggs in the morning with a slice of toast, bacon, and slices of avocado. However, when asked about her favorite comfort food, she revealed that the “Southern girl” in her loves fried chicken. She revealed that she will also “never turn down” a plate of chocolate chip cookies.
Her favorite recipe for her “Just Eat” cookbook, however, is her chicken thigh bake. “It’s hearty, delicious, and feeds the whole family,” she noted. In addition to her hearty dinner recipes, she revealed that her kids like to snack on fruit and vegetables with ranch dressing, which she credits to her husband, Eric Decker.
“I didn’t grow up craving fruit or vegetables. I was a meat, cheese, and bread kind of girl,” she explained, although she noted that she always has a salad on the menu when guests are coming over. She also noted that, when it comes to her own midnight snack, she loves homemade granola with oats and pecans.
In April 2021, Decker took to Instagram in order to reveal her at-home workout routine with her followers. She explained that she works out three to four times a week with certain variations on different body parts. She also gave fans more insight into her eating regimen, explaining that she does not usually eat first thing in the morning.
However, she noted that she will occasionally eat a bowl of oatmeal or toast with breakfast and likes to have coffee with cream. She also said that she puts twenty grams of protein in a shake that she enjoys after her workout.
For lunch, she revealed that she likes to eat four to six ounces of chicken salad or chicken over rice. She will have chips and salsa for a snack or homemade protein energy balls, which she includes the recipe for in her “Just Feed Me” cookbook. She also notes that she has an espresso around 3 PM for an extra energy boost.
For dinner, she enjoys lean red meat like flank steak with vegetables, her famous chili recipe, or more chicken and rice with vegetables. She also admits to indulging in a piece of chocolate for dessert. However, she confessed, “Now you guys know I love to eat so this is only when I’m really watching myself and wanting to tone up even more and lean up a little bit more.”
Actress Gina Carano filed a lawsuit against Disney after she was fired from the “Star Wars” Disney+ series “The Mandalorian.”
In the lawsuit, funded by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the former MMA fighter sought to return to her role as Cara Dune and sought monetary compensation after being fired for posting her conservative perspective on social media.
Disney Explains Why They Fired Gina Carano From ‘Star Wars’ Series ‘The Mandalorian’
MEGA
In their lengthy legal filing in response to Gina Carano’s lawsuit, the House of Mouse claimed that they decided to part ways with the former MMA fighter in 2021 because her decision “to publicly trivialize the Holocaust by comparing criticism of political conservatives to the annihilation of millions of Jewish people—notably, not ‘thousands’—was the final straw for Disney.”
Their legal team insists that her lawsuit should be tossed out “on the grounds that Disney has a constitutional right not to associate its artistic expression with Carano’s speech, such that the First Amendment provides a complete defense to Carano’s claims.”
Disney Has No Plans To Let Gina Carano Return As Cara Dune
MEGA
In her own lawsuit, Gina Carano claimed that her “words were consistently twisted to demonize & dehumanize me as an alt right wing extremist” and asked Disney to let her return to her role as Cara Dune as part of her lawsuit. However, Disney made it clear that it was unlikely to happen, writing:
“Carano’s social-media usage sunk to its nadir on February 10, 2021. On that day, she reposted an Instagram post from user warriorpriestgympodcast. The post read: ‘Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…even by children. Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?’
“Disney had enough. The same day Carano grotesquely trivialized the Holocaust as comparable to sharp political disagreements, Lucasfilm announced that ‘Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future. Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.’ A month later, Disney’s former CEO explained that Carano’s views ‘didn’t align with Company values,’ including its ‘values of respect, values of decency, values of integrity, and values of inclusion.’”
Disney’s response to the lawsuit was first reported by Deadline.
Gina Carano Claims She Was ‘Harassed and Defamed’ Prior To Her Firing
MEGA
Before she was handed her pink slip, Gina Carano claimed in her lawsuit that Disney and Lucasfilm harassed and defamed her for allegedly refusing to align with their viewpoints on pronoun use and political issues.
After she changed the pronouns in her bio to “beep, bop, boop,” Carano claimed that she was asked to meet with a representative of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Discrimination and issue a public apology.
According to the complaint:
“Defendants went so far as to try and convince Carano’s publicist to force Carano to issue a statement admitting to mocking or insulting an entire group of people, which Carano had never done.”
Gina Carano Explains Why She Filed Her Lawsuit
Instagram | Gina Carano
In a lengthy statement posted on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, Carano described how her lawsuit against Disney came about.
“A couple [of] months ago @ElonMusk tweeted that if you had been fired from using the platform (X) for exercising your right to free speech, he would like to offer these people legal representation,” she explained. “Quite the noble offer, but never in my wildest dreams would I have thought anyone would take on my case against Lucasfilm/Disney. Still, I did respond back ‘I think I qualify’ & thousands of people agreed–but I did not expect anything. To my surprise, a few months ago I received an email from a lawyer who had been hired by X to look into my story & many others.”
Gina Carano is suing for wrongful discharge and sex discrimination in the workplace. She is seeking a court order that would force Lucasfilm to recast her in her role as Cara Dune and at least $75,000, plus punitive damages for the emotional distress she alleges she suffered as a result of her public feud with Disney and the social media controversy that followed.

Pop star Britney Spears is trying a new diet that has some fans concerned after she admitted she felt too “weak” to post on Instagram.
It’s been a while since the 42-year-old singer posted one of her famous dancing videos, leading to concern that her new diet may be preventing her from enjoying one of her favorite pastimes.
Earlier this week, the “Oops… I Did It Again” singer admitted that she has started incorporating intermittent fasting into her diet, which usually means an individual restricts their eating window to a set time period. It is not clear how long Britney is fasting before, but she did say that it makes her feel too “weak to even think about shooting for Instagram right now.”
“I have started intermittened [sic] fasting this week !!! It can make you feel weak for a few days but then you get a natural high from all the toxins being release [sic] … I actually feel a little too tiny and weak to even think about shooting for Instagram right now !!!” she wrote in the caption, although she did praise the spiritual benefits that she has been receiving from the fast.
“But honestly, I like this spiritual dimension I’m on … I think we all have our level of prayer … I think I’ve experienced pretty low levels but also the highest levels as well !!!” she wrote. “It’s purification in its upmost way and to go into your body and mind to find your most enlightened state of consciousness seems so rad !!! Here’s a book. I’ve been reading to stay inspired … have a good weekend, my friends !!!”
Even though she said that she felt too “weak to even think about shooting for Instagram right now” amid her new diet, she did have a few things to say on Saturday. She shared three separate posts that seemed to be advice for her followers.
“Hands are so dear !!! I wish someone would have told me to be extremely careful who you let near them !!! The hands and feet light the way … for your namesake, guide me and light the way !!!” she wrote in the first post she shared on Saturday afternoon.
Britney Spears Says She Does Want To Be On Instagram
Fans of the “Crossroads” actress know that Britney is not afraid to deactivate her Instagram account for days at a time when she doesn’t want to be online.
“Some days I want to be here on Instagram but most days I disappear … it’s a gift and so is saying goodbye,” Britney wrote in another caption along with a photo of a ballerina fading away.
Britney Gives Her Response When People Start ‘Talking S—‘
“When people say stop talking s— … my response is … sorry I don’t speak English … You want a cigarette ???” Britney wrote in the caption of another Instagram post.
Fans aren’t sure if the post is directed at her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake or her ex-husband Sam Asghari, who she seemed to call out recently.
Does Britney Spears Have Beef With Her Ex Sam Asghari?
In August 2023, Britney split with her ex-husband, Sam Asghari. The two tied the knot in June 2022 after meeting on the set of her “Slumber Party” music video in 2016. Unfortunately, it seems that their relationship soured after her controversial 13-year conservatorship ended in November 2021, leading the “Special Ops: Lioness” actor to file for divorce in August 2023.
In another recent Instagram post shared ahead of her fasting admission, Britney admitted that she found it suspicious that her phone went missing the same month that she and her ex-husband split up.
“True story !!! I had a dinner date with this friend and the next day my glitter case phone which had everything in it from 6 years ago went missing !!!” she explained. “Btw I’ve never lost a phone before in my life !!! I always found it !!! Anyway for some reason the night before I met this person I purposely took pictures of my phones together !!! It was like I knew subconsciously it was gonna get stolen !!! And darn it … it’s been gone for 8 months now !!!”
“I had it from back in 2016 and that phone had so many pics of my kids and everything !!! Just to think some a–hole has my little phone right now !!! Same month that me and my ex split !!! Things that make you go HMMMMMM !!!” she added.
Since she and Sam met in 2016, and the phone went missing the same month that she and Sam split, fans can’t help but wonder what really happened to Britney’s phone.
It isn’t clear if the “Crossroads” actress was watching the Oscars ceremony on Sunday night. However, she did have a lot to say on Instagram.
Fans who swipe to the right in the post above will be able to see the pop star dancing in a bejeweled dress. It appears to be a similar dress to the one she wore the last time she teased her new project.
“Coming soon project – SEX N DIAMONDS !!!” she wrote in the caption along with the emoji of a diamond. She didn’t share any more details about that project, but she did give a lengthy explanation about a paranormal experience that she had years ago.
Britney Once Spent A Night In A Haunted German Castle!
Instead of sharing more updates about her new project, the “Girl In The Mirror” singer took to Instagram to recall a paranormal experience that took place in Germany over a decade ago.
“Oops Tour 20 years ago …Halloween night in a haunted hotel in Germany so cold… it was the same night I met Kate Hudson in a bar. I was an angel and my best friend was a devil for Halloween… we left the party early because the theme was all-black, gothic horror, and my friend and I failed,” she explained. “So we decided to walk outside in the cold, screaming like idiots because we had been on a tour bus for 2 months. Most people don’t believe in ghosts and if you say you do… well you probably shouldn’t since you’ll just be called crazy … all this talk and I’m like what is this place ??? Disneyland for adults… whatever I thought it was kind of cute actually, but paid no mind whatsoever.”
“Now the stories they told were pretty soft… the lady in white who glows in the corner of the room at exactly 2:20 at night, the sound of horses feet that carry the carriages on the rock entrance of the hotel at 3:00 right on the dot if you can be just quiet enough to listen,” she continued. “I’m like whatever… I was pretty tipsy, and at the elevator, my girlfriend almost got us kicked out of the hotel because she couldn’t wait to use the bathroom… she peed in the plant right beside the elevator in front of the whole lobby… so classy I mean she was dressed as the devil.”
“But that night I lay in bed and then it felt like a cold wind out of f—ing nowhere, and all of a sudden, it pushed me down in the bed. Now usually when I tell this story most people say… she was just dreaming… no I wasn’t, I was WIDE AWAKE screaming from the top of my lungs something was holding me down I couldn’t move for what felt like forever… it felt like someone was on top of me and I couldn’t get up for air… I ran so fast to my assistant’s door and I didn’t realize it was locked so I fell backwards… look I was scared and then she opened the door and looked at me like I was the biggest idiot… nobody till this very day believes me,” she revealed.
Britney wrapped up her post, writing, “I’m not really sure where I found this picture, but I can only imagine what the f— is in there… do you guys believe in ghosts ???!!!”
Unfortunately, she frequently disables comments on her Instagram posts, so her 42.5 million Instagram followers were unable to chime in. However, her post did get over 23,000 likes within twelve hours.
In addition to her story, she also shared a photo of a dog named Lady and hinted that she was spending time in New York City with a photo from the “Big Apple.”
Pop star Britney Spears is giving fans a sweet treat just in time for Valentine’s Day!
This holiday, the “Toxic” singer is flying solo as she moves closer to settling her divorce from actor Sam Asghari, whom she has been married to since June 2022.
Britney Spears Released A Sweet Collaboration For Valentine’s Day!
It looks like the 42-year-old pop star plans to celebrate Valentine’s Day with a sweet treat! The “Oops!… I Did It Again” singer collaborated with Glace, one of her favorite New York City dessert spots, to create a limited edition culinary confection just in time for the holiday!
The well-known dessert shop, founded by Sasha Zabar, has created the “Britney Brûlée” in order to show their love for the “Crossroads” actress on Valentine’s Day. The dish is reportedly an “elevated” version of the brand’s viral s’mores hot chocolate.
This dessert starts off with a mocha base, which just so happens to be a favorite of the “Circus” singer. The drink features a rim of toasted marshmallow fluff as well as a scoop of their delectable chantilly cream. The dessert is topped with a caramelized sugar disk which features a cursive “B” created with mocha dust.
The Customized Marshmallow Mocha Will Be Available For A Limited Time Only
The seasonal dessert will only be available from February 14 through February 18 for $14. Twenty percent of the profits sold from Britney’s sweet treat will be donated to The Trevor Project, a non-profit organization dedicated to LGBTQ+ youth.
“I was scrolling on Instagram, and I came across the Glace hot chocolates and I lost my mind!” Spears said in a statement obtained by People magazine. “New York has always been a really special place for me and when I discovered Glace I knew I wanted to do something special with them and partner with a local business in N.Y.C! I can’t wait for you to try what we created together!”
In addition to Valentine’s Day, Britney has another reason to celebrate with a sweet treat. According to a press release from her publisher, Gallery Books, her October 2023 memoir “The Woman In Me” sold over two million copies in January.

On Friday, January 19, Britney took to Instagram to admit that food is her weakness as she opened up about her weight. Although she deleted the Instagram post, fans loved to see her open up about her relationship with food and her weight. “Food is my weakness I will admit it !!!” she wrote in the caption. “When I was younger and would go to restaurants with my mom, she would either say ‘sit still’ or ‘you are eating way too fast … please slow down’ !!! I’m a passionate eater !!!”
“I do remember at lunch though everybody’s meal was still there when mine was gone in 2 seconds !!!” she continued. “But it’s weird my weight pretty much stays the same !!!

Her ex-husband, Sam Asghari, was working as a personal trainer when the two met on the set of her “Slumber Party” music video in 2016. “My ex husband was a trainer so he knew a lot of different ways and easy tricks to stay healthy !!! With food I think it’s weird though !!!” Britney wrote in the deleted post, adding, “Timing is important I think !!! Sometimes when I see food commercials I’m like GROOSSSSS !!!

“I suggest whoever you’re with or thinking of being with … make sure you look at them just the way you’re looking at that blaze coffee !!! Psss CAN I HAVE MORE PLEASE !!!” she concluded. Fans are eager to see if she will pose with her own customized coffee from Glace this Valentine’s Day!
Pop star Britney Spears is opening up about a kiss that did not seem to make it into her memoir, “The Woman In Me,” which was released last October.
Although the “Toxic” singer is closer than ever to finalizing her divorce from actor Sam Asghari, she took to Instagram on Wednesday to admit that she once made out with another actor… Ben Affleck!
Britney Spears Claims She Made Out With Ben Affleck

Britney Spears and Sam Asghari met on the set of her “Slumber Party” music video in 2016. The two became engaged in September 2021, only two months before her controversial 13-year conservatorship ended in November 2021. The two tied the knot in June 2022, but in August 2023, the “Special Ops: Lioness” actor filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.
As the two continue to navigate their divorce, it looks like the “Oops!… I Did It Again” singer has been reflecting on her former flames. On Wednesday afternoon, the 42-year-old pop star took to Instagram to share a black and white photo of her posing beside singer Diane Warren and actor Ben Affleck at a party.
“Cool pic of me and Ben Affleck and Diane Warren years ago !!! He’s such an amazing actor. Did I fail to mention I made out with Ben that night … I honestly forgot … d— that’s crazy !!! Wish I could tell you guys the story that happened before that !!! Oh dear, I’m just being a gossip girl !!! Psss I actually forgot !!!” she wrote in the caption.

The “Crossroads” actress later followed it up with another Instagram post with a caption that read, “Is it a crime to be a woman in this world ??? No wonder I was never invited !!! Playing me for a fool … no thank you !!! It’s been a while so forgive me in advance !!!”
It is worth noting that the 51-year-old actor has not responded to Britney’s claim. The “Deep Water” actor has been married to Jennifer Lopez since 2022. He had previously been married to actress Jennifer Garner from 2005 to 2018.
Britney Spears Admits She Is ‘Shocked’ By Her Divorce
MEGA
In August 2023, the “Girl In The Mirror” singer broke her silence on the divorce in the caption of a video she posted to Instagram that featured her dancing in her living room. “As everyone knows, Hesam and I are no longer together … 6 years is a long time to be with someone so, I’m a little shocked but … I’m not here to explain why because its honestly nobody’s business !!!” she wrote at the time. “But, I couldn’t take the pain anymore honestly !!! In some sort of telepathic way I have been receiving so many messages that melt my heart from friends and I thank you !!!”
“I’ve been playing it strong for way too long and my Instagram may seem perfect but it’s far from reality and I think we all know that !!! I would love to show my emotions and tears on how I really feel but some reason I’ve always had to hide my weaknesses !!!” she continued. “If I wasn’t my dad’s strong soldier, I would be sent away to places to get fixed by doctors !!! But that’s when I needed family the most !!! You’re supposed to be loved unconditionally … not under conditions !!!! So I will be as strong as I can and do my best !!! And I’m actually doing pretty d— good !!! Anyways have a good day and don’t forget to smile !!!”
Sam Asghari Says He Will Wish Britney ‘The Best Always’
MEGA
In his own statement, Sam took to his Instagram Stories to ask the media to be “kind and thoughtful” as the two parted ways. “After 6 years of love and commitment to each other my wife and I have decided to end our journey together,” he wrote. “We will hold onto the love and respect we have for each other and I wish her the best always. S— happens. Asking for privacy seems [ridiculous] so I will just ask for everyone including media to be kind and thoughtful.”
On February 1, Sam Asghari handed over financial statements and other documents to speed up the divorce process. The filing, known as a declaration of disclosure, is the final step before settling a divorce. Some of the documents that Sam handed over included a list of assets, as well as separate and community properties.
As The Blast previously reported, although Britney had previously been paying the rent on Sam’s luxury high-rise apartment in Los Angeles, it looks like that is no longer the case as the two take one step closer to being declared legally single.
Former MMA fighter turned actress Gina Carano is demanding that Disney recast her as Cara Dune in the popular “Star Wars” series “The Mandalorian” following her unceremonious firing a few years ago.
Carano’s social media channel was filled with allegations of election fraud and questions about COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness at the time she was fired, but it was a post that seemingly compared wearing masks to the horrors that Jews suffered through during the Holocaust that caused Disney to cut ties.
Elon Musk, who bought Twitter and changed the social media platform to X last year, once pledged to fund any lawsuit where someone suffered as a result of exercising their right to free speech on his platform. It looks like he is making good on his word, as he is financing Carano’s lawsuit as she attempts to force Disney to return her to a galaxy far, far away.

On Tuesday, lawyers representing Gina Carano filed a complaint in California federal court alleging that she was fired from Disney’s “The Mandalorian” series after voicing her conservative views on social media. The lawsuit has been funded by Elon Musk, making good on his word to finance the legal bills of anyone who claims they have been discriminated against due to statements they made on his platform.
In a statement, X’s Head of Business Operations, Joe Benarroch, said:
“As a sign of X Corp’s commitment to free speech, we’re proud to provide financial support for Gina Carano’s lawsuit, empowering her to seek vindication of her free speech rights on X and the ability to work without bullying, harassment, or discrimination.”
In 2021, Lucasfilm announced that they were cutting ties with Carano after she posted a message on her Instagram Stories that read, “Most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Naxi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?”

According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Carano alleges that Disney and Lucasfilm harassed and defamed her for allegedly refusing to align with their viewpoints on pronoun use and political issues. Although she was fired, Carano claims that her male costars faced no repercussions for their social media posts and pointed to Pedro Pascal’s 2017 post comparing former President Donald Trump to Hitler.
According to the lawsuit, Gina Carano was paid $25,000 per episode and was later able to negotiate a one-time bonus of $5,000 for her work in “The Mandalorian.” After her comments on social media went viral, Carano claimed that she was asked to meet with a representative of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Discrimination and issue a public apology for her remarks.
According to the complaint:
“Defendants went so far as to try and convince Carano’s publicist to force Carano to issue a statement admitting to mocking or insulting an entire group of people, which Carano had never done.”
Carano alleges that she was not only fired from “The Mandalorian,” but a “Star Wars” spin-off show called “Rangers of the New Republic” in which her character was expected to star.
“Rangers of the New Republic” was ultimately scrapped in order to make way for other Disney+ series set in a galaxy far, far away, such as “The Book of Boba Fett,” “Ahsoka,” and “The Acolyte.”
She Alleges Disney Started A ‘Post-Termination Smear Campaign’ Against Her

On page 38 of the complaint, Gina Carano complained that Disney’s “post-termination smear campaign” was not limited to “The Mandalorian.” The lawsuit alleges that “prior to her termination, in November 2020, Carano filmed an episode of Running Wild with Bear Grylls, an adventure program that aired on NatGeo, owned by Disney.”
“Following her termination, Disney surreptitiously removed the episode of Running Wild that showcased Carano from the show’s scheduled lineup – all in an effort to malign Carano and deny viewers the ability to see who she really is,” the lawsuit alleges, noting that Disney did finally air the episode on May 10, 2021 “after protests from fans and intervention by Bear Grylls to have the episode run as scheduled.”
In addition to those shows, Gina Carano also claims that her budding career as an actress suffered when UTA dropped her as a client following her controversial social media remarks.

Carano is suing for wrongful discharge and sex discrimination in the workplace. She is seeking a court order that would force Lucasfilm to recast her in her role as Cara Dune and at least $75,000, plus punitive damages for the emotional distress she alleges she suffered as a result of her public firing.
Last year, as part of his pledge to maintain free speech on X, Elon Musk said there would be “no limit” on the amount of legal action he would offer for users who claim they have been discriminated against at work due to comments they have posted on his platform. Musk claimed that he would “go after the boards of directors of the companies too” in his efforts to protect free speech.
Elon Musk hasn’t been the only one to go after Disney in recent months. Florida Governor Don DeSantis planned on “holding woke corporations accountable” as part of his failed 2024 Presidential election campaign. He is currently involved in a contentious legal battle with Disney after assuming control of the special tax district that controls the development around Disney World last year. The legal challenges have been speculated to be linked to Disney’s vocal opposition to Florida’s restrictive bill that limits classroom discussion on sexuality and gender, otherwise known as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
Gina Carano Takes To X To Deliver Lengthy Statement Amid Lawsuit
Today is an important day for me–I am filing a lawsuit against @lucasfilm & @Disney
After my 20 years of building a career from scratch, and during the regime of former Disney CEO Bob Chapek, Lucasfilm made this statement on Twitter, terminating me from The Mandalorian: “Gina…
On February 6, Gina Carano took to X to deliver a lengthy statement explaining why she filed her lawsuit against Disney.
“Today is an important day for me–I am filing a lawsuit against @lucasfilm & @Disney,” she began. “After my 20 years of building a career from scratch, and during the regime of former Disney CEO Bob Chapek, Lucasfilm made this statement on Twitter, terminating me from The Mandalorian:”
“Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm & there are no plans for her to be in the future. Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural & religious identities are abhorrent & unacceptable.”
“Nothing could be further from the truth,” Carano continued. “The truth is I was being hunted down from everything I posted to every post I liked because I was not in line with the acceptable narrative of the time. My words were consistently twisted to demonize & dehumanize me as an alt-right-wing extremist. It was a bullying smear campaign aimed at silencing, destroying & making an example out of me.”
“The thing is I never even used aggressive language. I shared thought-provoking quotes, pictures, memes & occasionally I used my own words, not with aggression but with respect & the occasional comedy to keep the mood light in dark times,” she went on. “Look with your own eyes at what I posted and ask yourself, for example, where did I compare Republicans to the Jewish people in the holocaust? I didn’t. Ask yourself why they were calling me a racist, was there any merit behind that or history of it whatsoever? No.”

“Look at why I was called a transphobe–for making droid noises from Star Wars? ‘Beep, bop, boop’ was obviously directed to the online bullies and did not in any way denigrate transgender people,” she wrote. “Were my questions about masks, lockdowns & forced vaccines ok to ask & push the subject into the light? Should we have been allowed to publicly discuss those topics at that time without being harassed or censored? Absolutely.”
Carano went on to say, “Hollywood says they support female representation & equal rights. Why then were my male co-stars permitted to speak without harassment & re-education courses or termination, but I was not afforded the same right to exercise my freedom of speech? Artists do not sign away our rights as American citizens when we enter into employment.”
“I have spoken to all my co-stars since I was fired & there is nothing but care and kind words between us. I respect their right to free speech & do not have to think the same on every issue to be their friends & work with them & I know they feel the same towards me,” she added.

“A couple [of] months ago @ElonMusk tweeted that if you had been fired from using the platform (X) for exercising your right to free speech, he would like to offer these people legal representation,” she explained. “Quite the noble offer, but never in my wildest dreams would I have thought anyone would take on my case against Lucasfilm/Disney. Still, I did respond back ‘I think I qualify’ & thousands of people agreed–but I did not expect anything. To my surprise, a few months ago I received an email from a lawyer who had been hired by X to look into my story & many others.”
“Turns out after sending them as much information as I could gather these past few months, my now lawyers & X believe wholeheartedly in my case & are moving forward,” she revealed. “I would like to express my deepest gratitude & thank you to @ElonMusk & @X for giving me an opportunity to bring my case to light.”
“As for me, I would love to pick up where I left off & continue my journey of creating & participating in story-telling, which is my utmost passion & everything I worked so hard for. It has been difficult to move forward with the lies & labels stuck on me, backed & encouraged by the most powerful entertainment company in the world. I am grateful someone has come to my defense in such a powerful way & look forward to clearing my name. Thank you to all the people who have supported me & made your voices heard. I pray God blesses each & every one of you,” she concluded, ending her statement, “With love, Gina Carano.”
Although the pop star apologized to the “Cry Me A River” actor twice for things that she wrote about him in her memoir, and even went out of her way to let her fans know that she liked his new songs, Justin said that he had “nobody” to apologize to on Wednesday night, prompting a quick response from Britney on Thursday afternoon.

On January 31, “The Social Network” seemingly addressed the alleged feud between him and Britney Spears by taking to the stage and saying, “I’d like to take this opportunity to apologize to f—ing nobody.” This came only days after Britney said that she liked his new song, “Selfish,” in a now-deleted Instagram post.
“I wanna apologize for some of the things I wrote about in my book. If I offended any of the people I genuinely care about I am deeply sorry… I also wanted to say I am in love with Justin Timberlake’s new song ‘Selfish,’” she wrote in the caption. “It is soo good and how come every time I see Justin and Jimmy together I laugh so hard ??? Ps ‘Sanctified’ is wow too.”

On Thursday afternoon, Britney took to Instagram to call out her ex. “Someone told me someone was talking s— about me on the streets !!! Do you want to bring it to the court or will you go home crying to your mom like you did last time ??? I’m not sorry !!!” she wrote in the caption.
She took to Instagram again a short while later, showing a photo of a single red rose. “Be careful how you deal your cards when you have the queen of hearts,” she wrote in the caption of this post. Comments on both posts, like many of her recent posts, have been disabled.
Britney Claims Justin Would ‘Cry’ When She Beat Him At Basketball
In a since-deleted Instagram post from December 2023, Britney insinuated that Justin would cry when she beat him at basketball.
“Psss I never mentioned how I beat him in basketball and he would cry … no disrespect !!!” she wrote at the time. Although she didn’t call Justin out by name, Justin had said “no disrespect” that night before during his hour-long set at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas opening. He famously told the crowd “No disrespect” before launching into his 2002 single, “Cry Me A River.”
Over one year ago, on January 17, 2023, Britney also shared a photo of her and Justin wearing matching basketball uniforms to Instagram. In the since-deleted post, Britney wrote, “When we used to shoot hoops TOGETHER … that’s when miracles happened!!!”
She then added, “I came out of my mom’s stomach just like we all did!!! Psss … why always cast me out ??? I’m equal as all!!!”
Britney Details An Unplanned Pregnancy In Her Memoir

Amid allegations of infidelity, Britney also details an unplanned pregnancy that she and Justin navigated in 2000. She said that although she wanted a family with “The Social Network” actor, he “didn’t want to be a father” at the time.
“It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn’t a tragedy. I loved Justin so much. I always expected us to have a family together one day. This would just be much earlier than I’d anticipated,” she wrote in her memoir. “But Justin definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy. He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young.”
“I don’t know if that was the right decision. If it had been left up to me alone, I never would have done it. And yet Justin was so sure that he didn’t want to be a father,” she continued, adding, “To this day, it’s one of the most agonizing things I have ever experienced in my life.”
Britney Spears’ memoir “The Woman In Me” was officially released on Tuesday, October 24, 2023.
It looks like Justin Timberlake has absolutely no intention of apologizing to Britney Spears following the release of her October 2023 memoir “The Woman In Me.”
In her tell-all book, the Princess of Pop recalled how he pressured her into terminating a pregnancy and included more allegations of infidelity. However, she apologized for the backlash that he had received twice, insisting that she never meant to “offend” anyone with her words.
The “Cry Me A River” crooner recently released a song named “Selfish,” which is the same name as a song on Britney’s 2011 Femme Fatale album. After her song started charting higher than his, she took to Instagram to issue him another apology and told her followers that she loved his new music.
However, during a performance in New York City on January 31, Justin revealed that he had no plans to return the olive branch. Instead, he doubled down, insisting that he had “nobody” to apologize to.
Justin Timberlake Refuses To Apologize To Britney Spears Following Her Apology

“I wanna apologize for some of the things I wrote about in my book. If I offended any of the people I genuinely care about I am deeply sorry… I also wanted to say I am in love with Justin… pic.twitter.com/NmPcRd4XUC
Over the weekend, the “Oops!… I Did It Again” singer took to Instagram to say that she liked Justin’s new music and issued an apology for things that she wrote about in her memoir.
“I wanna apologize for some of the things I wrote about in my book. If I offended any of the people I genuinely care about I am deeply sorry… I also wanted to say I am in love with Justin Timberlake’s new song ‘Selfish,’” she wrote in the caption. “It is soo good and how come every time I see Justin and Jimmy together I laugh so hard ??? Ps ‘Sanctified’ is wow too.”
Although some fans speculated that she had been “hacked,” a source later revealed that her support for her ex was genuine. “Honestly she just wanted to wish him well. She really does like the song,” an insider told People magazine. “She’s a kind person.”
“She genuinely just loves good music. She was curious about [Timberlake’s] new tracks, and she really likes his new music,” a second source added. “Britney has a good heart and is full of compliments when she likes something. She always speaks her mind. That’s what’s so special about her.”
That Was Not The First Time Britney Apologized To Justin
Instagram | Britney Spears
A few days before “The Woman In Me” was released in October 2023, the “Toxic” singer explained the “purpose” behind her book and explained that she did not mean “to offend anyone” with her tell-all book.
“My book’s purpose was not to offend anyone by any means !!! That was me then …that is in the past !!!” she began. “I don’t like the headlines I am reading …that’s exactly why I quit the business 4 years ago !!! Most of the book is from 20 years ago … I have moved on and it’s a beautiful clean slate from here !!!”
“I am here to establish it that way for the rest of my entire life !!!” she continued. “Either way, that is the last of it and s— happens !! This is actually a book didn’t know needed to be written … although some might be offended, it has given me closure on all things for a better future !!!”
“Hopefully I can enlighten people who feel particularly alone in most cases or hurt or misunderstood !!! Again, my motive for this book was not to harp on my past experiences which is what the press is doing and it’s dumb and silly !!!” she concluded. “I have moved on since then !! #TheWomaninMe.”
Justin Timberlake Seemingly Rejects Her Apology In New York City

While performing in New York City on January 31, Justin said, “I’d like to take this opportunity to apologize to f—ing nobody,” despite Britney’s two apologies.
It seems that he might have changed his tune a bit since performing at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas last month. Before performing “Cry Me A River,” Justin said, “No disrespect.” A source told the Daily Mail at the time that although the “Crossroads” actress “appreciated” the gesture, he never reached out to her to apologize directly.
However, given his recent statement in New York City, fans have doubts about whether the two exes will ever reconcile.
The fallout between Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake continues to make headlines amid the release of his new song, “Selfish.”
The Princess of Pop also released a song named “Selfish” in her 2011 Femme Fatale album, which has been charting higher than the “Cry Me A River” crooner’s new song.
The move seemed to prompt Britney to extend an olive branch to her ex, issuing an apology on Instagram while stating how much she liked his new song. However, that Instagram post was later deleted.
Britney Spears ‘Never Intended’ For Fans To Go After Justin Timberlake
MEGA
The former couple dated from 1999 to 2002, but many details of their relationship were not made public until the “Toxic” singer released her October 2023 memoir, “The Woman In Me.”
In her book, she recalled how Justin pressured her to have an abortion, although after they broke up, she was portrayed as the “harlot who’d broken the heart of America’s golden boy.”
According to one insider, Britney had no idea the backlash that Justin would face after she shared her story and claimed that she “never intended for people to come after him” after releasing her tell-all book.
“She didn’t realize how powerful her words would be,” an insider told the Daily Mail. “Regarding what she said in her book, she never intended for people to come after Justin in the way that they did. Ultimately it was Britney’s decision to abort her baby. It was her body and had she really wanted to say no, she could have.”
Justin Timberlake Reportedly Never Reached Out To His Ex

The insider noted that Britney still wishes Justin the best, although they noted that the two have not spoken following the release of her memoir.
“You will always have feelings for the first person that you loved,” the source said. “Justin has come to her defense before, and she didn’t want to hurt him like she did and change the opinion people have of him… It was her story and she told it how she felt it needed to be told.”
“Justin never reached out to Britney, and they have not had any private conversation,” they continued. “He has never apologized to her or addressed it with her. That being said, the fact that Britney’s song Selfish from 13 years ago is at number one is pure serendipity.”
In her deleted Instagram post from over the weekend, Britney wrote, “I wanna apologize for some of the things I wrote about in my book. If I offended any of the people I genuinely care about I am deeply sorry…”
“I also wanted to say I am in love with Justin Timberlake’s new song ‘Selfish.’ It is soo good and how come every time I see Justin and Jimmy together I laugh so hard ??? Ps ‘Sanctified’ is wow too,” she added, referring to the other new song Justin performed on last week’s episode of “Saturday Night Live.”
Britney Spears Details Their Break-Up In ‘The Woman In Me’
MEGA
In her tell-all memoir, Britney lamented the way that she was portrayed by the media after their breakup. It didn’t help that Justin released a music video for “Cry Me A River” with a model who looked suspiciously like Britney, implying that she was unfaithful.
“I felt there was no way at the time to tell my side of the story,” Britney wrote in her memoir. “I couldn’t explain, because I knew no one would take my side once Justin had convinced the world of his version. I don’t think Justin realized the power he had in shaming me. I don’t think he understands to this day.”
She also revealed that she got pregnant in 2000 but decided to make the “agonizing” decision to terminate after Justin made it clear that he “didn’t want to be a father.”
“It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn’t a tragedy. I loved Justin so much. I always expected us to have a family together one day. This would just be much earlier than I’d anticipated,” she wrote. “He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young. I’m sure people will hate me for this, but I agreed not to have the baby.”
“I don’t know if that was the right decision. If it had been left up to me alone, I never would have done it. And yet Justin was so sure that he didn’t want to be a father,” she added.

Although “The Social Network” actor didn’t address the criticism at the time of the book’s release in October 2023, he seemed to acknowledge the backlash while performing at the opening of the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas last month. Before performing “Cry Me A River,” Justin said, “No disrespect.”
Another source told the Daily Mail at the time that although Britney “appreciated” the gesture, he never reached out to apologize to her.
“The disrespect to Britney was done a long time ago and although she appreciates his acknowledgment of it, Justin has never called her personally or reached out to her personally to apologize,” the insider said.
“He has never addressed this with her. Ever,” they added. “Britney has moved on from this and writing her book allowed her to release it. She’s good.”
Fans of pop star Britney Spears might have been a little bit confused on Tuesday, as she announced a new project in the caption of an Instagram video that featured her dancing in her living room.
The 42-year-old pop star may have said that she is done making new music, but it looks like she still has something in store for her fans.
Britney Spears Starts Trending After Teasing New Project
On Tuesday, January 30, the “Toxic” singer teased a new project in the caption of an Instagram post that featured her dancing around her living room. “Tease for [a] new project coming up soon !!!!” she wrote in the caption. “SEX N DIAMONDS !!! PS swipe to see diamonds !!!” Fans who swipe are treated to a video of her dancing in a bejeweled outfit in her living room.
The announcement came shortly after Michelle Williams’ audio version of Britney Spears’ memoir “The Woman In Me” earned an Audie Award nomination. The winners will be announced in a ceremony hosted in Los Angeles on March 4. The list of nominees includes many actors, including Tom Hanks, Alfr, Patrick Stewart, Sean Astin, Rosamund Pik, Daisy Ridley, Rita Wilson, Ego Nwodim, and Neil Patrick Harris are all nominated.
Sean McManus, president of the Audio Publishers Association, told People magazine, “Last year, we witnessed the art of human narration through outstanding and diverse audiobook productions, showcasing the talents of Oscar winners like Meryl Streep, profound storytelling from public figures such as Michelle Obama and the literary brilliance of Neil Gaiman. We’re also excited to announce our inaugural APA Choice recognition, a new honor celebrating some of the year’s most compelling titles that became cultural phenomenons, including The Woman in Me from Britney Spears.”
Britney Spears Said She Would Never Return To The Music Industry

Although it’s unclear what the announcement was about, earlier this month, the Princess of Pop made it clear that she had no plans to create a new album while shooting down the rumors that she was currently working on new music with pop icon Charli XCX. “Just so we’re clear most of the news is trash !!! They keep saying I’m turning to random people to do a new album … I will never return to the music industry !!!” she wrote on Instagram earlier this month.
“When I write, I write for fun or I write for other people !!! For those of you who have read my book, there’s loads that you don’t know about me … I’ve written over 20 songs for other people the past two years !!!” she explained. “I’m a ghostwriter and I honestly enjoy it that way !!! People are also saying MY BOOK WAS RELEASED WITHOUT MY APPROVAL ILLEGALLY and that’s far from the truth … have you read the news these days ??? I’m so LOVED and blessed !!!”

Although she deleted the initial post on Tuesday morning, over the weekend, the “Oops!… I Did It Again” singer admitted that she liked ex Justin Timberlake‘s new single, “Selfish,” which, coincidentally, is also the name of a song from her 2011 Femme Fatale album.
“I wanna apologize for some of the things I wrote about in my book.

Even though Britney Spears had a lot to say about her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake in her October 2023 memoir “The Woman In Me,” it looks like she has stayed true to her word and moved on from some of the events that she described in her tell-all book.
After Justin Timberlake dropped his new song, “Selfish,” fans of the Princess of Pop were quick to get her own song of the same name from her 2011 Femme Fatale album back on the charts. However, it seems that Britney has no ill will against her ex and genuinely likes his new music.

Britney Wrote About Her Unplanned Pregnancy In Her Memoir
MEGA
One of the biggest revelations from Britney’s memoir came when she said that she and Justin navigated an unplanned pregnancy together. The two decided to terminate the pregnancy because, according to the singer, Justin “didn’t want to be a father.”
“It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn’t a tragedy. I loved Justin so much. I always expected us to have a family together one day. This would just be much earlier than I’d anticipated,” she wrote. “But Justin definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy.

Britney Spears’ memoir “The Woman In Me” was officially released on Tuesday, October 24, 2023.
Pop star Britney Spears once released a song called “Selfish” off her 2011 Femme Fatale album.
Even though the song came out over a decade ago, it started taking over the charts again after her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake released a new single with the same name.
However, fans were shocked when the “Toxic” singer took to Instagram over the weekend to say she liked his new song and insisted that she never meant to “offend” anyone with the release of her memoir “The Woman In Me” in October 2023.

She capped off her post by saying that his new song “Sanctified” is “wow too” along with a starry-eyed emoji. Although she disabled comments on her Instagram post, fans on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, were suspicious of Britney’s message.
“She was hacked and paid to say this!” one fan exclaimed. “Her account was compromised and she was coerced into making that statement,” another follower speculated. “Oww, I love seeing that Britney Spears was able to forgive him. It talks a lot about her maturity and I can imagine Justin approached her before, after her book, and they talked about it,” a third fan offered, but at this time, it is unclear if the two have spoken privately following the release of her memoir.

That was me then …that is in the past !!!” she began. “I don’t like the headlines I am reading …that’s exactly why I quit the business 4 years ago !!! Most of the book is from 20 years ago … I have moved on and it’s a beautiful clean slate from here !!!”
“I am here to establish it that way for the rest of my entire life !!!” she continued. “Either way, that is the last of it and s— happens !! This is actually a book didn’t know needed to be written … although some might be offended, it has given me closure on all things for a better future !!!”
“Hopefully I can enlighten people who feel particularly alone in most cases or hurt or misunderstood !!! Again, my motive for this book was not to harp on my past experiences which is what the press is doing and it’s dumb and silly !!!” she concluded. “I have moved on since then !! #TheWomaninMe.”

Even though fans of the Princess of Pop would love to hear more music from the “Slumber Party” singer, it seems that she may be done making music for good. In an Instagram post published earlier this month, Britney shot down reports that she was working on a new album with Charli XCX.
“Just so we’re clear most of the news is trash !!! They keep saying I’m turning to random people to do a new album … I will never return to the music industry !!!” she wrote on Instagram earlier this month. “When I write, I write for fun or I write for other people !!! For those of you who have read my book, there’s loads that you don’t know about me … I’ve written over 20 songs for other people the past two years !!!”
“I’m a ghostwriter and I honestly enjoy it that way !!! People are also saying MY BOOK WAS RELEASED WITHOUT MY APPROVAL ILLEGALLY and that’s far from the truth … have you read the news these days ???” she asked, concluding her post by writing, “I’m so LOVED and blessed !!!”
Reps for pop star Britney Spears are denying that she was banned from the Four Seasons hotel in Los Angeles after swimming topless in the hotel pool.
Although she is no stranger to removing her clothes on social media and public beaches out of the country, the pop star’s team has insisted that she never took her clothes off or exposed herself at the pool.

Reps for Britney Spears have denied a report that the “Toxic” singer was banned from the Four Seasons in Los Angeles after she took off her bathing suit to swim topless in the hotel pool. Sources told the U.S. Sun that the 42-year-old pop star had guests complaining about her “bizarre behavior” at the family-friend hotel, which is located only minutes away from her $14 million mansion in Thousand Oaks.
Insiders said that she frequently visits the establishment for a spa and beauty retreat, as the hotel boasts a huge indoor pool as well as spa facilities that offer massages and other beauty treatments. Although Britney has been going there for years, it seems that she has been “temporarily” banned after giving staff a “headache.”
Britney Reportedly Made Other Guests Feel ‘Uncomfortable’

“Britney has been going to the Four Seasons in Westlake Village for years, but she’s been causing a headache for staff recently,” one source told the publication. “In the past year, she’s been banned from the hotel, unbanned, and is now banned again. Some guests have complained about her going topless by the pool and making them feel uncomfortable, and her behavior is often bizarre and annoying.”
“Staff have talked about it throughout the whole hotel and it’s really unfortunate, but she’s not allowed on there at the moment, certainly not the spa,” the source continued. “Britney might be an A-list celebrity but she can’t run around doing whatever she wants at the Four Seasons. It sees a lot of high profile guests and rich guests checking in who spend thousands there, whether it be for a business trip or leisure and they don’t want to be made to feel awkward.”
Although Britney’s reps said that the story was “not true,” the Four Seasons did not return requests for comment.
Britney Spears Was Reportedly Banned From The Hotel In 2008
MEGA
As the publication reported, Britney Spears was banned from the hotel in March 2008 after complaints from both guests and staff. To keep her away from the hotel, the hotel staff even enlisted the help of local law enforcement officials to draw up a legal “notice of trespass.”
One report claimed that she ranted “Do you know who I am? I f—ing built this place. I’ve spent so much money here I could have bought the God—- hotel.” Britney was placed under a court-ordered conservatorship in February 2008. It lasted for approximately 13 years and was struck down by a judge in November 2021.
Britney Has Yet To Finalize Her Divorce From Sam Asghari
MEGA
Months after her conservatorship ended, Britney tied the knot with Iranian actor Sam Asghari. The two met on the set of her “Slumber Party” music video in 2016. They married in June 2022 but the “Special Ops: Lioness” actor filed for divorce last August citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.
Even though the 29-year-old actor signed an ironclad prenup before the divorce, sources told Us Weekly that he is looking to get more money out of the former pop star. “Sam feels he should be compensated properly for everything he went through with Britney,” one insider told the magazine. “The exact amount he wants is being kept confidential, but he’s not happy with what Britney and her team have proposed.”
“There’s a lot of wrangling back and forth. Things have become a lot more complicated than both of them had hoped it would be,” the insider continued, noting that any settlement is now “stuck in limbo” as the two let their respective legal teams hammer out the details of the divorce.
“Britney is in no mood to be pushed around or rushed into signing over another huge check to Sam,” the source said. “She wants to stick to the letter of the paperwork and feels that’s all he’s entitled to, period.”
Pop star Britney Spears is already referring to actor Sam Asghari as her ex-husband, even though the divorce has yet to be finalized.
In August 2023, the “Special Ops: Lioness” actor filed for divorce citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split. The two started dating after they met on the set of her “Slumber Party” music video in 2016.
The actor popped the question in September 2021, only two months before her controversial 13-year conservatorship ended in November of that year. The two tied the knot in a star-studded ceremony hosted at her Thousand Oaks estate in June 2022.
Britney Spears Reveals How Much She Weighs ‘Normally’ And ‘Now’
MEGA
On Friday, January 19, the “Hold Me Closer” singer took to Instagram to share a photo of a dessert from Noglu along with a lengthy Instagram post that addressed her relationship with food.
“Food is my weakness I will admit it !!!” she wrote in the caption. “When I was younger and would go to restaurants with my mom, she would either say ‘sit still’ or ‘you are eating way too fast … please slow down’ !!! I’m a passionate eater !!!”
“I do remember at lunch though everybody’s meal was still there when mine was gone in 2 seconds !!!” she continued before addressing her current and goal weight. “But it’s weird my weight pretty much stays the same !!! I’m usually 135 on scale … that’s my normal weight !!! Well that’s good for me !!! I want to be 125 – 128 but I’m probably gonna do 140 now that this d— BLAZE coffee place has opened !!! D— !!!”
Britney Spears Claims Ex Sam Asghari Knew ‘Different Ways’ To Stay Healthy

“I’m just saying that pic is better than any award … any trip … any sibling … any car !!! It looks absolutely amazing !!!” she continued, revealing that she still has a bit of a sweet tooth. “I still eat the same secret hot fudge Sunday from Wendy’s !!! The one that has the deep bottom brownie !!! Yep they still have it !!! Around dinner I will go eat one for dinner !!!”
It sounds like Sam, who was working as a personal trainer around the time he met Britney, does not indulge in sweets as much as she does. “My ex husband was a trainer so he knew a lot of different ways and easy tricks to stay healthy !!! With food I think it’s weird though !!!” Britney wrote, adding, “Timing is important I think !!! Sometimes when I see food commercials I’m like GROOSSSSS !!! But then sometimes I stop and drool !!!”
“I suggest whoever you’re with or thinking of being with … make sure you look at them just the way you’re looking at that blaze coffee !!! Psss CAN I HAVE MORE PLEASE !!!” she concluded. Although she ended with a joke, it sounds like she may be hinting that the chemistry had faded over the course of their six-year relationship.

Britney Says The Conservatorship Was The ‘Death’ To Her Creativity As An Artist
MEGA
In her memoir, “The Woman In Me,” the “Oops!… I Did It Again” singer explained that her controversial 13-year conservatorship, which lasted from February 2008 to November 2021, was the death of her creativity as an artist. “The woman in me was pushed down for a long time. They wanted me to be wild onstage, the way they told me to be and to be a robot the rest of the time,” she wrote. “I felt like I was being deprived of those good secrets of life — those fundamental supposed sins of indulgence and adventure that make us human. They wanted to take away that specialness and keep everything as rote as possible. It was death to my creativity as an artist.”
She went on to say that she “became a robot” during that period of her time, adding, “I had been so infantilized that I was losing pieces of what made me feel like myself. The conservatorship stripped me of my womanhood, made me into a child. I became more of an entity than a person onstage. I had always felt music in my bones and my blood; they stole that from me.”
Saying that she felt like a “shadow” of herself, Britney went on to write, “This is what’s hard to explain, how quickly I could vacillate between being a little girl and being a teenager and being a woman, because of the way they had robbed me of my freedom. There was no way to behave like an adult, since they wouldn’t treat me like an adult, so I would regress and act like a little girl; but then my adult self would step back in — only my world didn’t allow me to be an adult.”
Britney Spears Spends Her Free Time Watching ‘Friends’
MEGA
Many fans have been wondering how the “Hold Me Closer” singer spends her time after being freed of her controversial conservatorship. In an interview with People magazine conducted over email shortly before the release of her memoir, Britney referred to herself as a “simple girl” who likes to spend her time playing with her dogs and watching “Friends.”
“I really love people. I love God, I still love my family and close friends, I love tea parties and dinner parties. My friend Cade [Hudson] has me to dinner where I meet the most creative people I admire who make me belly laugh,” she said, referring to her close friend and longtime manager.
The “Piece Of Me” singer explained that she is still “learning this new freedom” and confessed that it can be “challenging at times” to learn her limits. However, she revealed that she spends most of her free time “playing with my dogs [or] watching episodes of Friends and belly laughing.”
The Western film “Rust” starring Alec Baldwin has released the first photos of the film ahead of its release.
On October 21, 2021, the film made headlines when a gun held by the “30 Rock” actor went off, striking and killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
Although both Alec Baldwin and armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed were charged in January 2022, charges against Baldwin were dropped pending further investigation in April 2022. So far, only Hannah Gutierrez-Reed is facing charges. Her trial has been scheduled for February 2024.

In April 2023, production of the Western film moved from New Mexico to the Yellowstone Film Ranch in Montana. Production wrapped a few weeks later, although “Rust” producers have yet to announce a release date for the film.
The visual style of the photos blends the visual style of Halyna Hutchins and Bianca Cline, who received the blessing of widow Matthew Hutchins. Matthew is now an executive producer on the film as part of a wrongful death lawsuit that was settled in October 2022.
“Rust” is based on a story by Alec Baldwin and director Joel Souza. Souza, who had been standing behind Halyna Hutchins when the gun went off, was hospitalized as a result of the incident. However, he returned to finish the film.
MEGAThe movie tells the story of a 13-year-old boy forced to fend for himself and his younger brother following the death of his parents in Kansas in the 1880s. After he is sentenced to hang for the accidental killing of a local rancher, his estranged grandfather Harland Rust, played by Baldwin, must get him to safety. Patrick Scott McDermott, who plays protagonist Lucas Hollister, can also be seen in the photos.
The official movie photos were first released by Deadline on January 2, 2024.
Alec Baldwin Shared Photos From Set Before Filming Wrapped
On May 22, 2023, the “Supercell” actor took to Instagram to share a photo from the last day of filming. “Last day of filming RUST in Montana. Sorry that I did not get to work with this living legend, the great @francesfisher.Patrick, I envy you,” he wrote in the caption.
“It’s been a long and difficult road. But we reached the end of the trail today. Congratulations to Joel, Bianca, and the entire cast and crew,” he added, calling the film’s completion, “Nothing less than a miracle.”
In a follow-up Instagram post, Alec Baldwin posed for a photo in his “Rust” costume beside the young actor and his mother. “Saying goodbye to my co-star EASTON MALCOLM wasn’t easy. Thanks, Brett, for sharing him with us. We love you, Easton,” he wrote in the caption.
Easton’s mother, Brett Ashley McMillan, commented, “Thank you, Alec. When Easton said to you, ‘You have my heart,’ I melted. Your kindness and sincerity to take care of my son while he filmed with you, will never be forgotten. You are a wonderful man and my Easton Malcolm adores you! Please come back and visit your new family in Montana!”

One fan commented, “He does seem so genuine and a good person. Love Alec!!” Brett replied, “Beyond! My son fell so easily into this friendship and Alec was supporting and cheering him on the whole way.” Another follower wrote, “Alec is a truly nice guy in person. Few celebrities are like their on-screen selves, Alec is a great guy,” to which Brett replied, “Completely agree.”
Brett also shared both photos on her own Instagram page. In the first photo, she wrote, “So proud of my son, Easton! He’s worked incredibly hard and now has a new friend and supporter, Alec.” In the caption of the second photo, she added, “Your kindness was absolutely everything to my son, Alec. Thank you.”

so cold… it was the same night I met Kate Hudson in a bar. I was an angel and my best friend was a devil for Halloween… we left the party early because the theme was all-black, gothic horror, and my friend and I failed,” she explained. “So we decided to walk outside in the cold, screaming like idiots because we had been on a tour bus for 2 months. Most people don’t believe in ghosts and if you say you do… well you probably shouldn’t since you’ll just be called crazy … all this talk and I’m like what is this place ??? Disneyland for adults… whatever I thought it was kind of cute actually, but paid no mind whatsoever.”

![Police in the US have released video footage from the set of the film Rust, including of the aftermath of the fatal shooting of a cinematographer by actor Alec Baldwin. Halyna Hutchins, 42, was shot by Mr Baldwin while he rehearsed with what he believed to be a safe gun. Footage, which has no audio, released shows Baldwin dressed as a cowboy rehearsing with a gun ahead of the deadly shooting. He can be seen in stills from that video posing with the gun, and with ammo / ammunition on his costume in a scene set in a church. A clapper board with Ms Hutchins' name on it can also be seen. It's not known if the gun he is holding is the one that fired the deadly bullets. The actor, who was also a producer on the film, previously said he did not pull the trigger and had no idea how a live bullet came to be on the set near Santa Fe in the US state of New Mexico.
