The name Britney Spears has so much cache: princess of pop, Y2K inspiration, and now, bestselling author . Sartorially, her name rings even clearer visions. "Britney Spears" is practically synonymous with a few iconic looks: the denim dress she wore alongside Justin Timberlake, her "...Baby One More Time" cardigan, her 2001 MTV VMAs snake performance ensemble — the list goes on. No look, however, is more quintessentially Britney than her "Toxic" music video 'fit. You know the one: the diamond-clad naked look that caused jaws to drop the world over. The ensemble is so iconic, in fact, it's still one of her most celebrated today. Jessica Alba , for instance, referenced the outfit last Halloween in a crystal-encrusted bodysuit. Let's take a look back on fashion history, shall we?

Hell be not as petty as a Britney stan scorned. Justin Timberlake paused his long-running apology tour to release what for all intents and purposes is his comeback single, "Selfish." But in an act of pure pop pettiness, fans of ex-girlfriend/superior pop star Britney Spears have decided to drive her 13-year-old song of the same name up the charts. Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake. J. Merritt/Getty; Todd Owyoung/NBC via Getty The push apparently stemmed from a tweet by the Britney stan account on X (formerly Twitter), touting the "release" of "Selfish," a track from the deluxe version of Spears' 2011 album Femme Fatale. The song entered the top 40 of the U.S. iTunes chart earlier today and as of this writing is threatening the top 10 . According to the Britney fan account BritneyxYtube this all "started as a joke" when Timberlake announced his new single, off his first album in five years, the upcoming E...

In the early 2000s, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake seemed to be a modern-day fairy tale. After first crossing paths as preteens on the set of The Mickey Mouse Club, Spears and Timberlake later reunited in the late '90s as they launched their pop star careers — Spears as a solo artist and Timberlake in the boy band *NSYNC . When the pair began dating in 1999, their young love story was a constant subject of public fascination and became even more so when they split in spring 2002. Following their public breakup, the scrutiny of the former couple only intensified, with Timberlake penning revenge music . In 2007, however, Timberlake told Oprah Winfrey , " There's no ill will — I have nothing but love for her. She has a huge heart, and she is a great person." And in recent years, Spears has shared videos of her dancing to her ex's music on social media. Here is a look back at Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake's relationshi...

Following Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears online lately feels a lot like taking a stroll into the 2000s, when the relationship between the two pop stars shattered in a heavily public breakup. Much of the internet seems to think the pair are once again on the outs. "I wouldn't say they're necessarily feuding, but there's definitely some shady, backhanded comments being thrown back and forth, though never directly," said Joshua Pingley, a Spears fan who runs an entertainment news TikTok account with more than 500,000 followers. He traced the spat back to the publication of Spears's memoir last year. In that book, " The Woman in Me, " Spears wrote she had an abortion because Timberlake didn't want to be a father, and claimed that he broke up with her through text message in 2002. "Everyone felt very sorry for him. And it shamed me," she wrote. "Anywhere I went, I could get booed. I would go to clubs and...

AI Mike Patton as Britney Spears . It seems like every other day there's another musician or actor or film director cautioning the world about the potential dangers of AI, as that classic sci-fi 'one day the machines will rise up and enslave humanity!' trope creeps inexorably closer to reality day-by-day. And sure, everyone may be over-reacting here, but then we saw that someone online has taken Britney Spears' Toxic video, morphed Faith No More /Mr.Bungle frontman Mike Patton's face onto the pop star's body, and attempted an AI approximation of what Patton would sound like singing this second single from Spears' 2003 album In The Zone, and frankly, we're not ok. The person/people behind this monstrous but undeniably impressive, creation, Kollias Music Inventions say that the're all about "inventing immersive, multi-sensory experiences through music to inspire perception and provoke playful interactions". Which is a noble and ente...

For those wondering how this might have been interpreted as some subtle shade, part of what Jackson went through was the moment while performing with Timberlake at the Super Bowl that involved a wardrobe malfunction. Spears has also been tos...
