On Thursday, April 25, 2024, the “Baby One More Time” singer Britney Spears and her father Jamie Spears finally settled their conservatorship dispute in which Jamie demanded Britney pay over $2 million of his legal fees incurred during her 2021 court victory.
In case you’re new to this, Jamie used to be his daughter Britney’s conservator from 2008 to 2019 when he stepped down due to his health issues at the time.
He was replaced by Jodi Montgomery, a professional in the field but by 2021, Britney was set free of the conservatorship by Judge Brenda Penny who said, “Based on what I read in the filings, and I read everything. I do believe the suspension of Jamie Spears is in the best interest of Britney Spears. The current situation is unattainable. The court finds the toxic environment Jamie Spears has created needs to be removed today.”

Two of the more anticipated star turns on Broadway this season — Steve Carell making his debut in the Lincoln Center Theater revival of Uncle Vanya and The Sopranos alum Michael Imperioli returning to the New York stage in Circle in the Square’s An Enemy of the People — got no love from Tony Award nominators today, and the West End hit Patriots, written by The Crown‘s Peter Morgan, barely registered on the roster, with only one nom for lead actor Michael Stuhlbarg.
Even more empty-handed than Patriots was The Wiz, the cheery, if rote, revival of the beloved Black retelling of The Wizard of Oz. Despite a star turn by Wayne Brady, it’s possible that Tony nominators saw the Broadway revival for the uninspired road show it is.
Other shows with zero nominations included I Need That starring Danny DeVito, the Barry Manilow-Bruce Sussman musical Harmony,...

You might think Madonna‘s first album is simply overloaded with some of the Material Girls‘ best pop songs. According to the album’s producer, you’d be wrong! He said the album actually contains prophecies. Here’s what one musician had to say about the Queen of Pop.
Madonna’s producer wanted to challenge her on her 1st album
Reggie Lucas was a producer who worked with Roberta Flack and Miles Davis. He also served as the producer on Madonna’s self-titled debut album. During a 2013 interview with The Atlantic, Lucas discussed working with the Queen of Pop. “As a producer, you understood that your first job was to support people to achieve that end,” he said. “You challenged the artist just enough to bring out the best in them and introduce them to audiences that they normally wouldn’t be introduced to.

Michael Jackson‘s Thriller had more classic hits than just about any other album. However, most of those hits did not reach No. 1. Even when the King of Pop made an epic music video, a chart-topper was not guaranteed.
1. ‘Thriller’
The fact that “Thriller” didn’t hit No. 1 feels bizarre. No other music video mattered so much to American culture and yet the tune only peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. If Billboard counted sales of the video’s VHS as single sales, “Thriller” definitely would have hit No. 1.
Jackson (and Vincent Price) got the last laugh on this one. Everybody loves “Thriller.” It’s not just a popular Halloween song, it’s the Halloween song. It certainly held up a lot better than “Monster Mash.” The song’s classic video has been spoofed by everyone from Britney Spears to “Weird Al” Yankovic.
2. ‘The Girl Is Mine’
Not every song deserves to hit No.

Everything I Thought It Was, the most recent release from Justin Timberlake, has fallen off the Billboard 200 albums chart after just four weeks.
This makes the LP his worst-performing project by a large margin of 15 weeks following its release on March 15th. By comparison, 2018’s Man of the Woods was still hovering in the No. 11 spot on the same chart in its fourth week.

Paris Hilton’s 11:11 Media has optioned Sarah Ditum’s book “Toxic: Women, Fame, and the Tabloid 2000s,” which examines pop-culture misogyny in the early 2000s through the stories of nine female celebrities of the era — including Hilton herself. The company plans to adapt the book as a docuseries.
“Toxic” offers a deep dive into the stories of Hilton, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Aaliyah, Janet Jackson, Amy Winehouse, Kim Kardashian, Chyna and Jennifer Aniston. The book explores their battles with fame, their efforts to control their own narratives, and their various degrees of success and failure in doing so. Ditum portrays her subjects as nuanced individuals confronting the challenges of celebrity amid a “ruthless and rapidly evolving media environment” and “how their experiences influenced broader perceptions of identity, body image, relationships and ambitions that still resonate today,” per 11:11 Media’s announcement.

On this week’s “Real Time” on HBO, Bill Maher addressed the recent “Quiet on Set” documentary, which explored exploitation of children in Nickelodeon programming. Maher then used that to launch into a wider discussion expressing skepticism of modern progressive gender politics, including how much kids are exposed to nontraditional gender identities.
In a featured “New Rule” segment titled “Kid ‘n Prey”, Maher opened up, “And finally, New Rule: as one of the few people in the public eye who’s gone through life and never had kids, someone has to tell me, why am I always having to defend them? I don’t even like kids. But I also think it’s every adult’s job to protect them.”
He asked the crowd if they’d been watching Max/Investigation Discovery documentary “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.”

Before she dropped her song “Karma” on Friday, JoJo Siwa spent several weeks letting the world know that she was done with bows and glittery-y pastels. In March, she posted a parental advisory message on her Instagram grid — teasing a new (and more explicit) era.
It became clear immediately that the 20-year-old was hoping for a rebrand built on shock value: Photos of the openly gay star embracing two girls at once, wearing Kiss-inspired face paint, and teasing lyrics about being a “bad girl” were rolled out in the weeks following the content warning.

In a letter announcing her third album, Don’t Forget Me, singer-songwriter Maggie Rogers says she got inspired for her latest project by creating a “younger Thelma & Louise,” using that storytelling vessel to navigate difficult personal truths of her own. Such self-exploring wanderlust has been a common theme for Rogers, an artist who proclaimed “I found myself when I was going everywhere” on her first LP. This time out, she’s taking a metaphorical road trip through her own past as a means of escaping her disconcerting present.

Last month, the “Shut Up” singer Kelly Osbourne was blasted for the comments she dropped about Ozempic drug during her interview with E! News.
First of all, Ozempic is a medication for Type 2 diabetes and patients with heart disease. However, the side effect of the drug is massive weight loss.
But then, although it’s super pricey, due to how effective its weight loss is, a lot of people go for it, especially celebrities who can afford it.

A+E Networks fought for the docuseries called Where Is Wendy Williams? to air and they cited Britney Spears’ conservatorship as a good reason why it should. When Sabrina Morrissey, the guardian of the former talk show host tried to prevent Lifetime from airing it, she lost, and it premiered as planned. In fact, the ratings from the show that aired on February 24 and 25 were excellent.
Where Is Wendy Williams? Aired But It Was Disturbing
An initial court order seemed promising for the guardian but it was overturned. Many people believed that she only decided against it because it showed her in a poor light. However, the court-appointed guardian also felt that A & E Networks only showed the bad side of the former star’s life, making it a “cruel’ documentary on Lifetime.
