Britney Spears Just Called Out Her Breakup With Justin Timberlake in a Hilarious Way


Much like some people still ship Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, there’s a certain subset of millennials who still go hard for Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. The two pop stars dated publicly in the late 90s and early 00s, breaking up in winter 2002. Of course, their split was at the center of tabloids, with some alleging there was cheating on Spears’s end. (Those claims were never founded.) Nearly twenty years later, there’s still a picture out there of the twosome as the prince and princess of pop—destined to be together in some alternate universe where all-denim outfits are the norm.

But this didn’t happen in the actual world. Timberlake has been married to Jessica Biel since 2012, and the two share a son together, Silas. Spears, meanwhile, is happily dating the very hot 26-year-old model-slash-personal trainer Sam Asghari.

Neither Timberlake nor Spears has said much publicly about each other, especially lately, which is why Spears’s latest Instagram post is worth mentioning. The Glory singer posted one of her now-infamous selfie dancing videos on Wednesday, April 15, and the caption and song choice captured the internet’s attention.

In the clip, below, watch Spears iconically flip her hair to—wait for it—Timberlake’s 2018 song “Filthy.”

And in her caption, she calls out her breakup with Timberlake directly. “I know we had one of the world’s biggest breakups 20 years ago …… but hey the man is a genius !!!! Great song JT ✨,” she wrote.

This isn’t the first time Britney Spears has grooved to Justin Timberlake’s music—she worked out to his hit “LovedStoned/I Think She Knows” in 2018—but her caption is the most transparent she’s been about their split in years. From the jokey tone, though, it appears there are no hard feelings.

In 2016, Spears mentioned in an interview that she’d be down to collaborate with Timberlake, something he then reciprocated that same year. “Sure, absolutely,” he told E! News. “I’m accessible. Give us a call!”

Will JT respond to Brit’s Instagram with a video of his own dancing to one of her songs? May I suggest “Gimme More?”

Florence Pugh Just Called Out Fans for Their Rude Comments About Her Boyfriend, Zach Braff


Florence Pugh is very much a star on the rise. 2019 brought us two amazing performances from her in the horror movie Midsommar and as Amy March in Greta Gerwig’s adaptation of Little Women, which garnered her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. She’ll also appear in her first Marvel film, Scarlett Johansson‘s Black Widow, when it’s released (hopefully) later this year after its original May date was pushed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

She also happens to be dating Zach Braff (of Scrubs and Garden State fame), which has stirred up some controversy online. Earlier this week, Pugh (who is 24) posted an Instagram post celebrating her boyfriend’s 45th birthday. “Today we shall smile wider than the clouds are grey. April 6th and we’re celebrating hard! Happy Birthday wishes, boogies and cheers for this special person. Raise those bubbles and jiggle!” she wrote alongside a photo of Braff napping. Very quickly, the comments section flooded with lots of nasty comments about Braff and the couple’s age difference, causing Pugh to disable them.

On April 8, she posted a video letting everyone know how upsetting the experience was for her and made it clear she would not tolerate this type of behavior from fans. “Within about eight minutes of the photo being posted, I had about 70% of the comments hurling abuse, being horrid, and basically bullying someone on my page,” she said.

She continued, “I will not allow that behavior on my page. I’m not about that. It makes me upset. It makes me sad that during this time when we really all need to be together, we need to be supporting one another, we need to be loving one another. The world is aching and the world is dying and a few of you decided to bully for no reason.”

Pugh emphatically stated that who she chooses to date is nobody’s business but her own. “I’m 24 years old. I have been working since I was 17 years old. I have been earning money since I was 17 years old,” she said. “I became an adult when I was 18 years old and I started paying taxes when I was 18 years old. I do not need you to tell me who I should and should not love, and I would never in my life ever, ever tell someone who they can and cannot love. It is not your place. It has nothing to do with you.”

She added, “The abuse that you throw at him is abuse that you’re throwing at me, and I don’t want those followers … I don’t want that on my page. It’s embarrassing, it’s sad and I don’t know when cyber bullying became trendy.”

Here‘s Why Camilla Won‘t Be Called ‘Queen’ When Prince Charles Is King


Despite what you may have heard, Queen Elizabeth II will not reign forever. Her son, Prince Charles (the Prince of Wales), will eventually become king, which means his wife, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, will have to be called something else. But it turns out, her new title won’t be Queen Camilla.

The duchess has had a lot of names and titles. She was born Camilla Shand and married Andrew Parker Bowles, becoming Camilla Parker Bowles. Then, when she married Prince Charles in 2005, she took on the title the Duchess of Cornwall. The reason she was not known as the Princess of Wales was out of respect for the late Princess Diana.

So when Charles becomes king, what are we supposed to call Camilla?

Apparently there’s been some confusion about her future title throughout the years. According to the Daily Star (per the Sunday Times), it’s rumored that Prince Charles would like his wife to be called the queen consort, which is the title usually bestowed upon the wife of the reigning king. Alas, he will be disappointed.

“The intention is for the duchess to be known as princess consort when the prince accedes to the throne,” a spokesperson for the royal couple recently told The Times. “This was announced at the time of the marriage and there has been absolutely no change at all.”

That’s true. Before the couple wed in a civil ceremony at Windsor Guildhall, Clarence House announced the creation of this new title. “It is intended that Mrs. Parker Bowles should use the title HRH The Princess Consort when The Prince of Wales accedes to The Throne,” the statement said. At the time, Slate described “princess consort” as a title created to avoid a P.R. crisis.

“It’s a new title created just for Camilla, because crowning her as queen would create P.R. problems for the royals,” columnist Daniel Engber wrote in February 2005. “A marriage between divorcees like Charles and Camilla remains taboo for some members of the Church of England, and Camilla is already unpopular for breaking up the prince’s marriage to Diana.”

Honestly, all this title-hopping is getting confusing. It’s reported that Princess Beatrice will also become a countess when she marries Italian “property tycoon” Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. That’s not even a part of the same royal succession. At this point, can’t we just call them all by their first names? It works for Harry.

Elizabeth Warren Called Out Mike Bloomberg's Treatment of Women at the Latest Democratic Debate


Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) came out hot for the latest Democratic debate, held on February 19 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Her first target? Billionaire and former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg, who took the debate stage for the first time since entering the 2020 presidential race.

Warren set the tone within the debate’s first minutes, comparing Bloomberg to Donald Trump. “I’d like to talk about who we’re running against a billionaire who calls women ‘fat broads’ and ‘horse-faced lesbians.’ And, no, I’m not talking about Donald Trump. I’m talking about Mayor Bloomberg,” Warren said. “Democrats are not going to win if we have a nominee who has a history of hiding his tax returns, of harassing women, and of supporting racist policies like redlining and ‘stop and frisk.'”

Bloomberg’s controversial “stop and frisk” policy, which disproportionately targeted black and Latino New Yorkers and was ruled unconstitutional, was a major subject of conversation last night, with Warren adding, “When the mayor says that he apologized, listen very closely to the apology. The language he used is about ‘stop and frisk.’ It’s about how it turned out. No, this isn’t about how it turned out. This is about what it was designed to do to begin with.”

Warren also took Bloomberg to task over allegations within his company of sexual misconduct and gender discrimination against women. Bloomberg tried to highlight women he’s promoted and supported over the years, but Warren wasn’t having it. “I hope you heard what his defense was—’I’ve been nice to some women. That just doesn’t cut it,” she said. She further called on Bloomberg to release women from the the NDAs they’d signed at his company so that the country could hear their stories. “We are not going to beat Donald Trump with a man who has who knows how many nondisclosure agreements and the drip, drip, drip of stories of women saying they have been harassed and discriminated against,” Warren continued.

Twitter was buzzing over Warren’s fiery performance. “I don’t know why you guys are surprised. Elizabeth Warren has been taking down rich guys trying to run a grift on you her whole career,” Ashley Nicole Black tweeted. “This is what she was made for. This is just a taste of how she’s going to handle Trump.”

And it would appear that it wasn’t just lip service on social media—the Warren campaign announced they raised $2.8 million last night, the best 24-hour period of fundraising ever.

The next Democratic debate will take place on February 25 in Charleston, South Carolina.

Jennifer Lopez and Shakira's Super Bowl Halftime Show Is Being Called ‘Inappropriate’


Jennifer Lopez and Shakira delivered an unsurprisingly epic halftime show at this year’s Super Bowl. There was dancing. There was pyro. There were bops. It’s truly everything I hoped it would be (and this is something I’ve been wanting for a while now).

But there’s a certain subset of people out there who think Lopez and Shakira’s halftime performance was “inappropriate” and “too provocative”—an R-rated attack on family values. One columnist from a well-respected newspaper even wrote, “If the Super Bowl is going to be touted as family entertainment, or at least not marketed as adult entertainment, perhaps the NFL has an obligation to warn people with children that what they’re about to see may be upsetting to some viewers.”

Mind you, this is all over Shakira and Lopez’s “skimpy outfits” and “booty shaking,” which is just heterosexual speak for “costumes” and “choreography.” There was nothing inappropriate about what they did onstage—at least, nothing more or less inappropriate than what male halftime performers have done for years. The only difference is that we still exist in a culture that thrives on policing women’s bodies. A culture that says a woman baring her midriff is a threat to the American family but an aging rocker grabbing his crotch is just a Tuesday. That is the issue here—not Jennifer Lopez or Shakira, who delivered one of the best Super Bowl halftime performances in recent memory. (I mean, come on: It started with “She Wolf!” A forgotten gem of a song! That’s gay rights!)

If people are actually outraged by Lopez and Shakira’s set, then it’s only fair they call the moral police on these six (male) halftime heathens too:

Mick Jagger, whose midriff pressured me into trying a cigarette

His stomach was just so racy. It made me want to be racy too, ya know?

Nelly, whose crotch-grabbing antics are the sole reason I sneaked out of my house in middle school

It’s no one else’s fault but his.

Of Course Rihanna Had the Perfect Response When Someone Called Out Her Pimple


We may all be disappointed we didn’t get new Rihanna music by the end of 2019, but we can always count on her to be one of the very best celebrities of all time at social media.

The singer and Fenty mogul has only posted twice in 2020, but each one is pretty representative of who she is. First, she simply wrote “Devastating” about the fires raging in Australia. But it was her next image that is causing a bit of conversation.

“First selfie of the year doe. #2020,” she wrote next to a shot of herself. Seems harmless enough, right?

But this is Rihanna we’re talking about, so of course fans analyzed the photo closely. “Let me pop your pimple,” one commenter wrote after noticing a small blemish on the singer’s skin. RiRi was having none of that and came back with the perfect response: “Let her have her shine, PLEASE.”

It’s a small gesture, but the impact of a star as major as Rihanna being okay with posting a shot of herself with imperfect skin to the world (including her 78 million followers) is not. Instagram has become a place where perfection reigns and FaceTuned images are everywhere. But guess what? Everybody gets zits, even Rihanna. In fact, she’s one of a few celebrities who are normalizing acne on social media by posting their zit pics.

Rihanna is never afraid to address the commentary she knows goes on about her appearance. Back in October, she took on the matter of pregnancy head on. In a video for Vogue, Anna Wintour asked her, “Rihanna, do you hope to have a baby soon?”

“I don’t think about stuff like that. But, I don’t know…God’s plan,” she responded, laughing. “I look forward to all of the pregnancy rumors after this interview.” See, she always knows the right thing to say.
