Charli XCX Confirms Rumor She Was Asked to Work on Songs for Britney Spears

Charli XCX has confirmed past rumors that she was working on writing music for a potential new Britney Spears album at one point.

However, the English singer-songwriter admitted in a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live that she wasn't too sure how involved Spears was in the process, as the "Toxic" singer had previously shut down rumors on social media.

"Um, so. Well, yes, but, it leaked to the press," Charli XCX said, responding to a caller's question. "Britney then did this post where she was like, 'I don't have random people write for me.' I was like, okay, go off! So I don't know that she was part of the process."

In January, Spears took to her Instagram to set the record straight, writing, "They keep saying I'm turning to random people to do a new album … I will never return to the music industry !!!"

Later on the show, host Andy Cohen interjected, "Maybe her team was looking for…"

"Her team was running before they could walk," Charli XCX continued. "Britney probably has a load of other projects that she's focusing on. So I did get asked but I don't know if it's like, real."

Cohen also asked the "Boom Clap" singer if she wrote any songs with the hope of Spears potentially recording them.

"Of course," she said. "I went to Malibu and I wrote. You always write songs hoping Britney's going to record them … but you know, she didn't record it. … I love her. It would be a dream come true."

The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to Spears' rep for comment.

In Spears' social media post earlier this year, she also shared that she writes songs for other artists.

"When I write, I write for fun or I write for other people !!!" the "Circus" wrote at the time. "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 !!!"

Britney Spears Explains Photos of Her Exiting Chateau Marmont in Her Pajamas: 'No Breakdown!!'

Published: 12:00 PM PDT, May 6, 2024

Britney Spears is feeling the opposite of overprotected, following last week's incident at the Chateau Marmont hotel. 

On Monday, Spears took to Instagram to share her feelings on the photos that surfaced last Wednesday, where she is seen visibly upset and wrapped in a blanket while leaving the swanky establishment. According to the pop star, she hurt her foot -- and the moment was embarrassing. 

"honestly wish my life was as wild as it has been portrayed !!! Either way, some s**t actually has happened to my foot and I might have to get surgery ... fingers crossed, hopefully not but I feel that I was harassed and gaslit and tricked to go on the street when my car was supposed to be there !!!," the 42-year-old songstress wrote.

"I was in my pajamas and yes, I had been crying because I hurt my foot !!! No breakdown !!! I'm a grown ass woman who is actually very naive in most situations !!! I am simply embarrassed they got me in my damn pajamas !!! I don't feel loved … I feel mistreated !!! With that said, I'm going to treat myself this week !!!"

Spears' caption was accompanied by a self-filmed video of her on a horse, speaking to a wrangler who approaches her with a cowboy hat. The "Toxic" singer also pans the camera to herself and films while she's riding.

Last week, the singer sparked concerns when she was seen leaving the hotel in West Hollywood wrapped in a blanket while wearing short white shorts. At the time, Spears was with her former housekeeper, Paul Richard Soliz. Though an ambulance was at the scene, Spears did not get into it.

An eyewitness told ET, "Britney came out with Paul Richard Soliz and some others. Someone gave her a blanket to throw over and she had a pillow covering her front. She took a few steps and turned around and went back, not getting into the stretcher they had brought out." While it's not clear if the ambulance was called for Spears, the eyewitness added that a woman in Spears' entourage was seen speaking with paramedics.

The following day, Spears took to Instagram (in a since-deleted post) and shared an AI-generated image of a man, with a caption disputing the pictures that circulated on the internet.

"Just to let people know … the news is fake !!! Most of the pics are body doubles and I think most know that !!!," the caption read. "I would like respect at this time for people to understand I am getting stronger everyday !!! Truth sucks so can someone teach me how to lie ??? Goddesses out there, I'm reaching my higher power and furthermore, I hope you guys are too !!! I need a new toothbrush right now !!! PS … I need an espresso !!! PSS … Not sure why I feel the need to share this … I guess I'm just a girl and I'm on my period so I'm b**chy … sh*t."

Amid Spears' latest public outing, and settling her divorce from Sam Asghari, a source told ET that the GRAMMY-winning singer is focused on herself and rebuilding her personal relationships with family.

"Britney wants to prioritize taking care of herself and reestablish a relationship with her family, including her kids," the source told ET. "This is a top priority of hers and she would love to heal things and get to a place where things can be healthy and consistent."

Does Britney Spears’ Boyfriend Paul Richard Soliz Have Kids? His Ex Claims He’s a ‘Deadbeat’ Dad of 9

Britney Spears and her boyfriend, Paul Richard Soliz, recently made headlines for their alleged argument at the Chateau Marmont hotel in Los Angeles. The singer's new flame, who once worked as a housekeeper in her home, has reportedly raised some red flags for people in her inner circle. Now, Paul's ex Nicole Mancilla has heightened concerns by claiming that he's a "deadbeat dad" to at least nine kids.

Does Paul Richard Soliz Have Kids?

Nicole, who was allegedly once married to Paul, claimed in a May 6, 2024, interview with Daily Mail that he is the father to her five children, but he ​​"doesn't support not one kid. And they're at my house."

"He's a deadbeat dad," she added. "It's difficult for me." Court documents filed by the Los Angeles County Support Services on March 22, 2024, demanded that Paul pay $1,167 per month in child support starting May 1, 2024, as well as 50 percent of healthcare costs for 9-year-old child Trystan, 8-year-old Dylan and 21-month-old Violet, according to the publication. The complaint revealed that the children have been receiving public benefits since January 2020.

Paul's income was listed as $2,774 per month, and Nicole's as zero, according to Daily Mail.

A separate filing in September 2021 named Paul as the father of a 17-year-old named Cesar and a 6-year-old named Nicholas in addition to Trystan and Dylan.

Nicole also claimed in her interview with the outlet that Paul had at least four other children, calling him "the EBT Nick Cannon."

"Just let them know that my husband fell in Britney Spears' p---y. He was married, and now he denies his children," she said. "He neglects his children for her."

Nicole's mom, surgical assistant Sandra Smith, who lives with Nicole and her kids in L.A., added, "He has ten kids. He doesn't support any of them. They have a 1-year-old together and he doesn't even pay attention to that one either."

Does Paul Richard Soliz Have Kids? Ex Claims He's a Dad of 9

Are Britney Spears and Paul Soliz Still Together?

Paul was hired as a housekeeper in Britney's home in 2022. However, he was reportedly let go from the position when his criminal record, which includes disturbing the peace, child endangerment and firearm possession, was discovered. Britney and Paul sparked dating rumors in August 2023 shortly after her split from ex-husband Sam Asghari. The two allegedly split after a month, although some speculated that they remained together.

"Britney and Paul are definitely together," one source told Us Weekly in February 2024. "He's still in the picture."

On May 2, 2024, news broke that Britney and Paul allegedly got into an argument at the Chateau Marmont hotel the night before and an ambulance was called due to concerns about the pop star possibly having a mental breakdown. She was "out of control, crying, possibly cut, and almost driven away in an ambulance," TMZ reported.

Prior to the ambulance being called, a woman matching Britney's description allegedly caused a disturbance in the lobby by "harassing and threatening hotel employees and guests." Authorities were called to the scene but left when they found no signs of trouble. Britney and her boyfriend reportedly went back to their room around 11 p.m., when an altercation between them allegedly became physical. Hotel guests then called the ambulance out of fear that someone was injured, sources told the publication.

Britney claimed on May 2 that the "news is fake" and that photos of her at the scene were actually of "body doubles." I think most know that !!! I would like respect at this time for people to understand I am getting stronger everyday!! Truth sucks so can someone teach me how to lie???" she wrote on Instagram, later claiming that she "twisted my ankle and paramedics showed up at my door illegally."

The "Toxic" singer also claimed that her mother, Lynne Spears, was "involved" in the hotel incident. "I haven't talked to her in 6 months and she called right after it happened before the news being out," she wrote. "I was set up just like she did way back when !!! I wish I had grandparents !!! I can't stand her !!! I honestly don't care I will say it."

Britney Spears finds friend in Hollywood star Jennifer Aniston amid health concerns

Britney Spears rolls around on bed in steamy video

The sitcom actress, 55, "reached out" within days of the 42-year-old Toxic singer's latest public drama last month when an ambulance raced to celebrity LA hotel Chateau Marmont following reports Britney had been injured.

She was staying there with on-off boyfriend Paul Richard Soliz, 37 – a former housekeeper and odd-job man at her nearby 21-acre estate – but sent the ambulance away after emerging from their room looking disheveled and covering her top with a blanket.

Fans now fear the Oops…I Did it Again star is spiraling out of control as disastrously as she did in 2007 and 2008, when she shaved her head, attacked paparazzi with an umbrella and twice landed in hospital psychiatric wards.

Britney also briefly lost custody of her two sons and saw all her assets placed legally under her father's control during a bitter, 13-year court conservatorship order that almost tore her family apart.

But sources close to Jennifer Aniston say she is hoping to take the wayward singer under her wing, with one confirming: "She's extremely worried about Britney – and where she might be heading again."

Jennifer was inspired to step-in, the source adds, when Britney posted a "cool" photo of the actress, sitting on a director's chair with a cigarette in her hand, from the set of her 2002 movie The Good Girl, along with a rambling, cryptic message that said in part: "You know when you grow up and realise set-ups aren't just in movies? They can be in real life too and when they are in real life they can be illegal!!!!"

The source went on: "That post really got Jen's attention and she saw it as a sign that the door might be open for her to help. She asked her agent to contact Britney's agent to arrange a meeting."

The actress is said to be "especially on edge" over Britney's downward spiral following the recent death of her Friends co-star Matthew Perry, who struggled with drug and alcohol addictions before being found dead in his hot tub last October at the age of 54.

"After the tragedy that befell her beloved Matty, Jen feels compelled to try to do something for Britney," a second source added, noting that the actress also befriended fellow singer Selena Gomez during a personal crisis.

"Jen wants Britney to know she has a friend waiting in the wings to help without being judgmental."

Britney Spears denies rumors of an album and vows to never return to the music industry

Britney Spears has dismissed rumors of a new album and vowed "never to return to the music industry."

At the same time, Spears noted in Wednesday's Instagram post, she still writes music, just for other people.

Britney Spears' spicy lingerine video heats up social media...again

"When I write, I write for fun or I write for other people!!!" she declared on an Instagram caption.

"I've written over 20 songs for other people in the last two years!!! I'm a ghostwriter and I honestly enjoy it that way!!!"

The Instagram caption, in which she criticized those who "keep saying I turn to random people to make a new album", was accompanied by a photo of a Guido Reni painting of Salome holding the head of John the Baptist.

This is not the first time Spears has indicated she will retire from releasing her own music. In July 2021, while still under the infamous conservatorship that controlled her life, her money and her voice for nearly 14 years, her former manager Larry Rudolph resigned, saying she had no intention of resuming her singing career.

Just after she was released from the conservatorship that same year, she took to Instagram to say that she was afraid of the music business and that not making her own music was an act of defiance against her family.

But the following year, she released the single "Hold Me Closer," a collaboration with Elton John that spent 20 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at No. 6.

Last year, "Mind Your Business", a single with will. i.am, however, received poor reviews and failed to reach the Hot 100.

Spears' last full-length album was 2016's "Glory."

In Wednesday's post, Spears also wrote that it was "far from the truth" that her best-selling 2023 memoir, "The Woman in Me," was released without her approval.

Britney Spears’ Family ‘Thinks She Needs Help’ After Conservatorship: ‘They’re Considering Their Options’

Just one week after Britney Spears made headlines for an alleged hotel fight with her rumored boyfriend, Paul Richard Soliz, a source exclusively tells In Touch that her "family thinks she needs help."

​"They're considering their options," the insider says. "Britney's been on a downward spiral for a while now. What happened at the hotel was like a flashback to 2008."

On May 1, paramedics were called to the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles, California, after guests believed that Britney, ​42, was having a mental breakdown as a result of an alleged fight with ​Paul, 37. TMZ reported that the "Circus" singer was allegedly "out of control, crying, possibly cut, and almost driven away in an ambulance."

However, the following day on May 2, Britney addressed the incident via Instagram.

"Just to let people know … the news is fake!!!" the pop star posted and quickly deleted alongside a photo of a male model on Instagram, according to screenshots captured and shared by fans on X. "Most of the pics are body doubles and I think most know that !!! I would like respect at this time for people to understand I am getting stronger everyday!! Truth sucks so can someone teach me how to lie???"

Britney later reshared the statement and added, "I also twisted my ankle and paramedics showed up at my door illegally. They never came in my room but I felt completely harassed. I'm moving to Boston!! Peace."

Britney Spears Spotted for First Time Since Legal Dispute Settled

The Grammy winner didn't stop there and later posted a video of her swollen ankle and claimed that her mom, Lynne Spears, was somehow involved with the paramedics showing up at the Chateau Marmont.

"I know my mom was involved !!!" Britney wrote. "I haven't talked to her in 6 months and she called right after it happened before the news being out !!! I was set up just like she did way back when !!! I wish I had grandparents !!! I can't stand her !!! I honestly don't care I will say it."

Britney's erratic behavior has been a source of concern for many fans since she legally ended her conservatorship under her father, Jamie Spears, in 2021. Many fear that the "Toxic" songstress is spiraling back toward the same mental state she was in when she famously shaved her head and attacked paparazzi with an umbrella ​in February 2007. However, Britney had previously addressed the infamous head-shaving moment in her memoir and gave fans an explanation behind her decision.

"I'd been eyeballed so much growing up. I'd been looked up and down, had people telling me what they thought of my body, since I was a teenager," Britney wrote in The Woman In Me. "Shaving my head and acting out were my ways of pushing back."

What is REALLY going on with Britney Spears? Insiders reveal the truth behind why she deleted her Instagram account - amid claims she is 'completely dysfunctional' and blowing her $60million fortune

Singer, 42, quietly settled her years-long legal battle with her father Jamie

Has to cover father Jamie's $2 million legal bill and $4 million on her own lawyer

'Britney shut off her account temporarily to spend time with friends,' source says

By James Vituscka For Dailymail.Com

Britney Spears may have sparked concern after deleting her Instagram account amid speculation that she is 'dysfunctional' and in dire straits financially - but the singer 'couldn't be happier' having finally quit ties with her father.

The pop superstar, 42, was reportedly taking a break from online to surround herself with friends after quietly settling her years-long legal battle with Jamie Spears, 71, last week.

Though the ruling saddled Britney with her father's $2 million legal bill, in addition to the $4 million she is believed to have spent on her own lawyer, insiders have rubbished claims that the Grammy winner is in 'serious danger of going broke'.

'Britney shut off her Instagram account temporarily to take a break and spend time with her friends after settling the legal battle with her father Jamie,' an insider told DailyMail.com exclusively.

Sources have rubbished claims that Britney Spears is in 'serious danger of going broke' after splashing her cash on lavish holidays and her recent legal fees

'She did what was in her best interests to be done with him forever and she couldn't be happier.'

They continued: 'No one is fearing for Britney and she is far from going broke. Yes, she needs to curb her private jet usage but she is far from going broke â€Â" this is inaccurate.' 

The source highlighted the recent success of Britney's memoir, The Woman In Me, as one of the many reasons why her finances remain in a healthy place.

The insider continued: 'She is at the point of recoupment for her book and pulling in 25 per cent of net profits.'

Back in October, Britney happily celebrated her book becoming the 'highest selling celebrity memoir in history', with 1.1 million copies sold in the US alone in its first week, according to sales figures.

Britney deleted her page just hours after attacking her family in a pointed post on Sunday morning when she shared the cover of Jennette McCurdy's book, I'm Glad My Mom Died.

'Stay nice folks!!! Good book,' she wrote of the Nickelodeon alum's memoir, which followed her experience as a child star with her late abusive mother.

She also posted a mirror selfie on of her half-naked backside as she responded to the legal ruling on Instagram. 

The singer sparked concern after deleting her Instagram amid speculation that she is in a worse mental and financial situation than she was when she was under conservatorship

'I was actually right about nerve damage in my back!!!' she wrote.

'I have to get [acupuncture] every day of my life now!!! Words and thinking too hard make it worse!!! If people only knew how I've had to crawl to my own door one time!!!' 

The source highlighted the success of Britney's memoir as a current source of income

She cont inued: 'My family hurt me!!! There has been no justice and probably never will be!!! The people who sat and did absolutely nothing when they did that for four months are smooth sailing!!!'

Britney returned to Instagram on Monday, sharing a video of herself sprawled atop a horse. 

The singer, who changed her name on the platform to Xila Maria River Red, wrote: 'Horses and outside air !!! So good to be alive.'

TMZ previously claimed that Britney was furious about the outcome of the settlement after her attorney Mathew Rosengart assured her it was a solid case. 

In legal filings obtained by the outlet, Jamie accused his daughter of using stall tactics to draw out the case.

Britney's dad served as her conservator throughout the 13-year conservatorship, which ended in 2021. 

That June, she gave testimony about 'abusive' treatment she allegedly suffered during the conservatorship.

She also accused Jamie of financial misconduct as her conservator, for which he was paid $16,000 a month and received a percentage of her tour gross revenues.

She also accused Jamie of financial misconduct as her conservator, for which he was paid $16,000 a month and received a percentage of her tour gross revenues.

With the settlement, Britney and her father have avoided going to trial.

The outlet also claimed that friends of the singer have branded her 'completely dysfunctional,' with some claiming she is in a worse mental and financial situation than she was when she was under conservatorship.  

It was alleged that Britney is suffering from 'shocking and radical mood swings' and has become increasingly isolated. 

One source told the site that those who have remained close to the star believe she was doing better while under conservatorship, which ended in 2021. 

'She had lots of freedom in the conservatorship and the restrictions were there to protect her. She's not protected anymore,' claimed the insider.

In a post before she deleted Instagram, the star made a pointed statement towards her family members by posting the cover of Jennette McCurdy 's book I'm Glad My Mom Died 

It was also claimed that Britney is allegedly in danger of blowing her $60million fortune after splashing out over a million dollars for each of her monthly trips to French Polynesia and Hawaii, photos of which she shared on social media.  

She has reportedly been spending thousands on private jets and five star resorts for the regular holidays. 

The singer has been treating herself to some of the finer things in life as she gushed about drinking 'real wine' before deleting her Instagram page.

The pop icon shared an image of a glass of wine next to a bottle of Norton Reserva Malbec 2019, an Argentine wine produced in the Luján de Cuyo region of Mendoza.

She wrote: 'REAL wine feels extremely nice as well !!!! Psss first time with real wine...Jesus f***ing Christ !!!'

Britney Spears' Friends Reportedly Fear She's 'In Danger' in New Relationship

A source says Spears' relationship with Soliz 'raises red flags.'

Britney Spears, appearing unkempt, garnered headlines as her security personnel and partner, Paul Richard Soliz, a known felon, escorted her from the Chateau Marmont Hotel in the early hours of May 2, drawing the presence of first responders. And now sources are telling In Touch that the scene seemed sadly familiar. 

"She had a boozefueled bust-up in a hotel room with Paul and refused treatment," a source said, noting that a "crazed" Britney — who has been boasting that she drinks wine — had reached "rock bottom" after a seven-day spiral that began on April 25 when two dramatic photos showed the pair acting erratically. "It's like 2008 all over again." 

In the early part of that year, she started having public meltdowns, which led to her father, Jamie, taking over her affairs via a 13-year conservatorship. Even after being released in 2021, the pop star settled a legal dispute with her dad over his management of her finances on April 25, reportedly agreeing to pay him $2 million in legal fees. On May 2, she settled her divorce from Sam Asghari, who was widely considered an anchoring force in her life.

"Now, she's hanging out with this criminal, and friends fear history is repeating itself," the source said of Soliz, whom she hired in 2022 to help with housework in her L.A. home. "She's in serious danger." Britney, 42, has apparently been lonely lately. "She's usually holed up around her mansion all day, making disturbing videos," the source told the outlet, adding that Soliz, 38, "provided a distraction. They've been hooking up for a while. Sam was convinced she cheated on him with Paul because of how she openly flirted with him."

In December 2022, Soliz was convicted of possession of a firearm by a narcotic addict, stemming from an incident in 2020. He had also been convicted of robbery in 2008, among other arrests. Also, he admitted he has "a handful" of children from a past relationship. "That certainly raises red flags, considering Britney's history," the source said. "Who knows what his motives are?"

Concerned family members are reportedly considering taking serious measures to help her. "There's actually been talk of pursuing another conservatorship," the source said, referring to her family and friends who have attempted at least one intervention since 2021. Fans have even called 911 in concern. "No one wants to see it go this far, especially because of all the publicity and backlash over the last one, but Britney really needs help."

It's one thing to post disturbing videos, the source added, "but now she's intimately involved with a felon and she's been drinking, which she should definitely not be doing if she's taking medication for her bipolar disorder." According to a report, the star is also eroding her $60 million due to her monthly trips on private jets to Hawaiian and French Polynesian resorts when her conservatorship ended. Because she has vowed never to make music again, "she needs to save her money," the source noted.

Family members are said to be rushing to reach the singer before her condition deteriorates. "This latest meltdown proves Britney's only getting worse," the source said. "Her friends and family are desperate to save her before it's too late."

The chart-topping star posted the clip to her Instagram page where she is seen wearing denim hotpants and a bralet as she moves throughout the room at the luxury residence. She captioned the post: "My hotel room I lived in for four years by myself in Las Vegas."

The post comes after Britney, 42, was at the Chateau Marmont hotel in Los Angeles last week when an ambulance was called after reports Britney was injured in a fight. She was seen being escorted out of the hotel barefoot with her hair messed up and later shared images of her "injuries" with fans.

Britney accused her mum Lynne Spears of being involved and has since taken to Instagram to share a message with fans. "Don't ever lose sleep over people who ruined your dreams - Britney Spears," she wrote on a pink background.

Britney's mum was seen arriving in Los Angeles over the weekend following the singer's hotel drama. Lynne arrived in LA less than 24 hours after the incident.

She was seen pushing a suitcase through the airport and was picked up by her son Bryan Spears and her granddaughter Sophia Alexandra Spears. Britney had taken to Instagram following the hotel incident sharing two videos that showcased her swollen and bruised ankle. In the caption, she blamed her mother for what happened, writing: "I know my mom was involved ! ! ! I haven't talked to her in 6 months and she called right after it happened before the news being out ! ! ! I was set up just like she did way back when ! ! !"

The post came after her sister Jamie Lynn Spears seemed to make a dig at the Toxic hitmaker. Taking to her Instagram Story, Jamie Lynn shared a special tribute to her mum to celebrate her birthday. In the snap, Lynne was seen posing alongside Jamie Lynn's two daughters - Maddie Briann Aldridge and Ivey Joan Watson.

"Happy birthday to my beautiful mama," Jamie Lynn wrote. "She has a childlike spirit that brings magic to everything she does, and we are so blessed to have her." Shortly after, Britney shared a sweet throwback snap of herself cradling one of her sons. The singer shares two sons - Jayden James and Sean Preston Federline - with her ex-husband Kevin Federline.

She's currently estranged from her sons, who live with their father in Hawaii. Back in 2022, Kevin revealed Sean and Preston hadn't seen their mum for months and they decided not to attend her wedding to Sam Asghari. Sean and Preston then called on their mum to stop posting revealing videos on Instagram, to which Britney said she "gave them everything" and was "saddened" by their comments.
