Britney Spears confesses she gets laser treatment on her face


Britney Spears reflects on her music performance in a throwback interview

Britney Spears has recently opened up about going under a knife in a now-deleted Instagram post.

In the caption, the pop star revealed she had undergone a cosmetic surgery in addition to dyeing her hair lighter.

"I haven't been really good with my self-care… I haven't done my nails in two months and I did my first ever laser treatment for my face only a week ago. It kinda hurt though… not a fan…" wrote the songtress.

Britney confessed, "I always wanted my hair white blonde, and well, I did it and I absolutely hate it…"

"It's actually too white blonde so I'm fixing it tomorrow! I do look waaay younger it kinda creeps me out…" mentioned the Toxic crooner.

In the end, Britney added, "My eyes look extremely big now, but I honestly don't like it. I woke up sick in bed drinking ginger trying to figure this out…"

The post came after the songstress announced she had changed her name to Xila.

"Since I changed my name to XILA I actually am having a hard time understanding English," stated the singer.

Britney pointed out, "The dress I wore in my pics is the only dress that actually fit me! When I go out at night I like having dinner by myself! I'm so weird...but I still adore people that's why I'm telling you guys about this hairspray I'm spraying!"

The source claimed that Britney's disturbing social media posts just a way for her to "break any and every rule she can and express herself," reported via OK! magazine.

Britney Spears Embraces Her Country Roots, Names New Album ‘Britney Jean’


britney-spears-work-bitch

This morning, Britney Spears announced the name of her forthcoming album, set to drop December 3 (the day after her birthday): "Britney Jean." As you may have guessed, based on her Southern upbringing and her penchant for self-titled albums, the record's name is her first and middle names.

More from StyleCaster

We have no doubt that—as is tradition in Southern states like Louisiana, where Britney grew up—that members of her family still refer to her as "Britney Jean" in casual conversation (double names are kind of big down there). This is a suspicion Britney herself confirmed during her call with London radio station Capital FM, where she announced the album title.

"It's a personal album, and all my family, they always call me Britney Jean," she explained. "It's like a term of endearment. I just wanted to share that with my fans."

We're hoping that Britney's choosing this album title implies that perhaps the music it contains will be at least a bit of a throwback to her roots, with its share fair of twang, guitar  accompaniments, and good old-fashioned ho-downs. And if the record is really as "personal" as Brit claims it is, perhaps we'll even be lucky enough to encounter a "Dear Diary (Part 2)."

Britney Spears Tries to Hide Behind Frames, Fails


Britney Spears, our favorite hot mess pop queen, who sings lyrics about the popularity she receives and so dearly loves, (i.e. "all eyes on me in the center of the ring, just like a circus") was spotted last night leaving Los Angeles club, Grand Star Jazz Club. For someone who loves the camera, we can't figure out why she feels compelled to pull a Rihanna or Estelle and hide behind sunglasses while leaving Grand Star (during the wee-hours of the night, by the way.) Bad habits die hard, eh?

We also think if she's going for discreet, dying her hair platinum ultra-violet blonde probably wasn't the best idea. Britney is doing interesting things right now, like modeling for Candies footwear (this ones just funny), dodging rumors about being engaged to Jason Trawick, converting to Judaism for him, and buying restaurants for her dad. We imagine the bright hair color choice and long extensions are a direct result of Britney's strive to emulate former Candies' model Jenny McCarthy's aesthetic…Or Ivanka Trump's, who is now also Jewish a la Jared Kushner.

We will admit, BS does look lean and in shape, wearing a black mini dress and booties, without any grotesque junk hanging out, anywhere. A successful turnaround if we may say so ourselves, Brit.

One last thing though, if you're serious about this Jew thing…you may want to take trade that Cross in for a Star of David.

ICYMI: Britney Spears New Album ‘Britney Jean’ Is Streaming on iTunes Right Now


In case you missed it: Britney Spears' forthcoming album "Britney Jean," which isn't slated to officially come out until December 3, is currently streaming for free on iTunes. We've already listened to a good chunk of it, and we've gotta say: when it comes to frothy club jams, Britney still rules supreme (sorry, Miley).

In addition to gay anthem "Work, B–tch," which we've already listened to about 1,000 times, there are gems like straight club banger "Tik Tik Boom," which features rapper T.I. (a high point of the album), and the sickeningly sweet "Chillin' With You," which is a duet between Britney and her little sister Jamie Lynn. And in the middle ground, there's semi-ballads like "Perfume," a tragically romantic story about being the other woman, told over a suprisingly fun techno-influenced beat.

The one song we can't fully get behind is "It Should Be Easy," the track that features producer Will.i.am—it comes off a little too strong with an unapologetic house beat that sounds like it would fit well in any cheesy nightclub in America (or Europe). Head to iTunes to listen to the album now! If you're like us, you probably won't be disappointed.

Britney Spears Reveals ‘Britney Jean’ Album Art, Writes Open Letter to Fans


britney jean album cover

Britney is just so sweet, y'all! The reigning princess of pop took to her website this morning to reveal the cover art for her fortcoming eighth album "Britney Jean," accompanied by hand-written letter to her fans. It's a little difficult not to reach for comparisons to her biggest pop competitor, Miley Cyrus' new album artwork for "Bangerz," which also features neon script. It also looks like Britney is hopping on the "baring it all" bandwagon with cover at that at least suggests nudity, even if it isn't full-on naked.

More from StyleCaster

The record, slated for release on December 3 (the day after her 32nd birthday), is a self-described return to Brit's Southern roots, and as such, she wrote her fan letter on a postcard.

"We're all so used to getting our thoughts out in 140 characters, but sometimes it's nice to take time to sit down and write something a little longer and more personal," Britney says. "I am putting the finishing touches on my new album over the next few days and I am so excited for you to hear it.  I poured my heart and soul into this album and it's been an incredible journey.  I've learned a lot about myself, and as I am finishing, I am reminded of the incredible foundation that has supported me for the last 15 years."

This Fall is a major moment for all our favorite ladies of pop: first, Miley Cyrus put out her incredibly catchy album "Bangerz," then just this week Katy Perry released "Prism." Lady Gaga's "ARTPOP" comes out November 11, and "Britney Jean" less than a month later. Which just begs the question: Where's your album at, Beyoncé? As th e saying goes, it's always preferable to save the best for last!

She claimed Jamie often criticized her appearance and put her on 'strict diet' consisting of chicken and canned vegetables for two years.

She also spoke about the trauma of having an abortion at 19 because her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake â€Â" whom she dated from 1999 until 2002 â€Â" 'wasn't happy about the pregnancy.'

She explained how she was left 'crying and sobbing' after choosing to undergo the procedure at home in a desperate bid to keep the abortion completely secret from the public and her own family. 

Britney has also been dealing with her divorce from Sam Asghari, 30. The singer and the actor called it quits after a year of marriage in August 2023.

    Britney Spears has sparked huge concern (Image: Getty)

    Britney Spears has been sharing several nude photos on her Instagram in recent weeks and has left her fans worried.

    The 42-year-old, famous for her hit song 'Toxic', has been having a great time on a paradise beach with her friend.

    She kicked things off earlier this month by posting three photos in which she was standing without any clothes, hiding her chest with her elbows and showing her bare backside to the camera.

    In these photos, the blonde-haired Britney simply looked towards the camera, allowing her hair to tumble down her back in relaxed waves.

    She even posted a similar photo where she had placed a filter over it and covered her breasts with her hands while her hair moved across her face.

    More intimate photos were shared this week, as Britney faced the camera fully, kneeling on the sandy beach and holding her breasts together, with cute pink flower emojis carefully placed.

    Even though Britney has stopped people from commenting on her recent posts, some fans are worried about her and have taken to Twitter to share their concerns.

    C. Jarrett Dieterle: The left should listen to what gig workers actually want


    To the typical American, clicking a couple of buttons on your smartphone to snag a rideshare car to the airport seems as unremarkable as it is uncontroversial.

    But in the name of protecting workers, progressive politicians have waged war on ridesharing and the so-called “gig economy." The problem with the left’s anti-gig campaign is that it is directly antithetical to what gig workers actually want, and it overlooks better solutions for helping workers.

    According to many on the political left, America is awash with “bad jobs” (by which they mean part-time gig work) and needs to create more “good jobs” (which they define as full-time jobs with a full suite of comprehensive benefits).

    People are also reading…

    California led the way in 2018 by enacting legislation that instituted a stringent legal test for nearly all workers operating as independent contractors. This included those far beyond the gig economy. By making it harder to classify workers as independent contractors, the theory was that companies would convert more to full-scale employee roles.

    Instead, thousands of freelancers and contractors in various industries lost their jobs, alongside a statewide decline in full-time and part-time work. Golden State voters eventually rebelled, approving a 2020 referendum exempting rideshare drivers from the new law. Despite this spectacular backfire, Democrats decided to double down on their bad bet and take their worker reclassification ideas national.

    This ultimately manifested in the Department of Labor deciding this year to reverse a Trump-era rule and issue new standards for classifying independent contractors. While not identical to California’s notorious law, Labor’s rule is still designed to make it more difficult for workers to remain contractors. On cue, Repub licans have introduced a Congressional Review Act resolution to overturn Labor’s rule, which comes on top of legal challenges launched against the agency.

    In defense of the rule, acting Labor Secretary Julie Su invoked a version of the "good job vs. bad job" narrative. She argued that a “century of labor protections for working people is premised on the employer-employee relationship,” and that these employment-based protections help insulate workers from “exploitation.” 

    This incorrectly suggests that millions of Americans are being classified as independent contractors against their will, and that large gig corporations are purposely classifying them that way to deny them protections and benefits. 

    The American economy is not precariously Scotch-taped together by workers who are involuntarily trapped in exploitative part-time gig roles. If anything, involuntary part-time work has been declining.

    And far from disliking gig work and being forced into it, independent contractors and gig-economy workers overwhelmingly prefer their status as contractors. Over 80% report they chose gig work by choice, and fewer than one in 10 independent contractors want a more traditional job. This is mainly because the top job consideration for working Americans â€" above even salary and benefits â€" is flexibility.

    Labor protections do not need to be “premised on the employer-employee relationship,” as Su claims. A far better solution would be to safeguard the legal status of independent contractor from these types of reclassification efforts while tying that protection to a portable benefit system for independent workers. 

    A portable benefits model could operate using a system of pre-tax contributions from both employer and employee. This could provide funds for gig and contract workers to purchase benefits such as health insurance via worker-controlled benefit exchanges

    Not only would such an alternative sidestep a nationwide version of the draconian economic fallout that California experienced, but it would also have a chance of appealing to lawmakers on both sides of the political aisle â€" not just the left. Most important, it would respect what gig workers and contractors actually want and need. 

    Dieterle is a resident senior fellow at the R Street Institute, a free-market think tank. He wrote this for InsideSources.com

    John Tucker Must Die star Jesse Metcalfe 'wasn't eating' and 'worked out three times a day' for 2006 film - as sequel is teased


    Jesse Metcalfe has revealed his vigorous fitness regime to prepare for 2006 film John Tucker Must Die -  as a sequel to the hit film was teased.

    The Desperate Housewives star, 45, who played the titular character in the teen comedy, said he 'wasn't eating' and 'working out three times a day' to get ripped for his part as the popular boy with a penchant for dating multiple students. 

    Speaking at the Epic Cons panel with his co-stars Sophia Bush and Arielle Kebbel on Sunday, Metcalfe said he was 'at the gym anytime that I was not on set.'

    'I was working out and eating salmon every night. I was taking it pretty darn seriously.'

    Metcalfe said he felt 'pressure and anxiety' about leading his first major film with his co-stars agreeing the set 'was rough in terms of body image.'

    Speaking at the Epic Cons panel with his co-stars Sophia Bush and Arielle Kebbel on Sunday, Metcalfe said he was 'at the gym anytime that I was not on set' 

    He added: 'I had a complex about if I could pull off the comedy.

    Referring to a memorable scene in which John wears a thong to seduce his love interest Kate, he said: 'Running around in women's underwear in front of the entire cast and about 40 extras was humbling, to say the least'

    'Another one of my favorite scenes was scaling the building in a towel and dropping the towel and setting myself up on the bed.

    'And the women's volleyball coach comes in and grabs me by the ear, pulls me into the hallway â€Â" amazing. That was a hilarious scene… but also one that was terrifying.

    'There’s a lot of iconic scenes in John Tucker, that's for sure.'

    Nearly 20 years after they made the revenge comedy the cast said they are up for the challenge of a sequel.

    Bush, 41, who is dating soccer star Ashlyn Harris, helped break the news over the weekend with her former costars.

    'I've heard rumors of this script â€Â" there's a script,' Metcalfe revealed during their panel, according to People. 'Apparently it's amazing.'

    Metcalfe starred as the high school Lothario. Bush, Ashanti and Kebbel starred as his ex-girlfriends who convince new girl Brittany Snow to get him to fall for her and then break his heart

    'I'd definitely love to be a part of it,' the Divine Influencer actor said. 'Can't wait to read it.'

    Kebbel, 39, who is involved in the sequel, offered more insight by revealing that the new project 'does involve all of the OG cast.'

    The title character, 'may or may not get a chance to change' his ways, which, she said, 'would be very exciting.'

    'Do I get a chance to wear a thong again?' Metcalfe coyly asked during the panel.

    Kebbel didn't miss a beat when she answered, 'We wanted to talk to you about that.'

    'We were thinking you'd actually, li ke, make your own brand, endorse it. It'd be a whole thing,' she joked.

    The Desperate Housewives alumna kept up the banter, declaring, 'I'm here for it. I can't wait to unleash this dad bod on the big screen.'

    The old friends shares snaps from their visit to the windy city on social media.

    All three were dressed in John Tucker Must Die sweatshirts graphics of the title character and the women he scorned. 

    'Countdown is on...' Kebbel wrote on the photo, adding the hashtag #jtmdreunion,

    Metcalfe had kind words for his future tormenters.

    'The John Tucker Must Die (partial) Reunion didn’t disappoint! Such a pleasure reconnecting with these two lovely ladies,' he wrote. 

     In the 2006 comedy, three ex-girlfriends †" played by Kebbel, Bush and Ashanti â€Â" set up the title character, a serial cheater, to fall for the new girl in town, played by Brittany Snow, so they can show him how it feels to have his heart broken.

    In spite of lackluster reviews, the romcom made nearly $70 million worldwide at the box office and has become a cult classic. 

    Jessica Biel gives definitive proof of how her relationship with Justin Timberlake is going, leaving him 'embarrassed'


    Speculation surrounding Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake's relationship has persisted for years, with rumors of infidelity often surfacing. Recently, the couple faced challenges amid revelations made by Britney Spears in her autobiography, alleging past infidelities and coercive actions by Timberlake.

    While the aftermath of Spears' statements initially strained the couple's relationship, Biel recently took to social media to dispel rumors, sharing steamy photos of her husband. The images showcase Timberlake's toned physique, a departure from his typically reserved demeanor.

    In the photos, Timberlake confidently bares his sculpted abs while sporting a playful grin and stylish attire. Biel shared the images with her followers, playfully noting that her husband might never post such pictures himself, but she was more than happy to do so.

    "My husband would never post these... BUT I WILL. You're welcome," she wrote.

    The gesture serves as a public declaration of Biel's support and affection for Timberlake, effectively quelling speculation about their marriage.

    Biel's lighthearted caption and the couple's playful dynamic portrayed in the photos indicate a strong bond between them.

    The images garnered attention from fans, who expressed admiration for Timberlake's physique and appreciation for Biel's openness. Biel further emphasized her admiration for Timberlake by adorning the photos with affectionate emojis in subsequent social media posts.

    Britney Spears' conservatorship timeline

    In September 2021, Britney's case returned to a Los Angeles courtroom where Judge Brenda Penny made a number of bombshell rulings, following her father's decision to end the conservatorship the month prior.

    She ruled to rid Jamie of his daughter's conservatorship, however, it did not mean the end of the conservatorship altogether.

    Speaking in court, Judge Brenda Penny 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."

    Following the judge's decision, a temporary conservator was put in Jamie's place for about a month.

    In early November 2021, Jamie was back in court filing new legal documents that show he's done fighting.

    Jamie had previously demanded $2 million in exchange for stepping down but documents at the time showed that he was not seeking any further compensation.

    On November 12, Judge Penny ruled in favor of the pop star, removing Jamie from the position of conservator without requiring any further mental examination from Britney.

    Britney Spears Reveals Why She Does Not Open Up About Her Struggles: 'Would Make Other People Extremely Sad'


    Popular songstress Britney Spears, known for the song Toxic, wants to be transparent about her troubles but is hesitant since it might upset others. She recently admitted to life's flaws by hinting at secret struggles while on a beach vacation. Even though she didn't go into detail, her fans didn't waver. This comes after her 2023 memoir's open disclosures and her continuous struggles, which included her divorce from Sam Asghari.

    Britney Spears talks about her latest beach getaway

    Britney Spears stated that she wanted to be open about her struggles, but she was afraid the material would be considered "too offensive" for the internet.

    The Toxic singer took to Instagram Wednesday to detail the highlights of her latest beach getaway before seemingly hinting that it wasn't all smooth sailing.

     

     

    "There are a lot of other things that happened on this trip that I'm not sharing as well," she wrote. "Nothing is what it seems sometimes!!! I portray that everything is completely perfect but trust me I've been through it as well and I would share those struggles but they are too offensive to share."

    "It would make other people extremely sad and honestly there's not a damn thing I can do about it," Spears, 42, continued. "So just know my life is not as perfect as it seems … and remember my beautiful friends you're not alone."

    Despite being hesitant to discuss the details of her problems, a large number of fans swiftly showered the mother of two with well wishes in the comments area.

    "Britney, I've loved you since the day I found out about you when I was 11 years old (in 1998)," one wrote. "I'm so sorry all the shit you had to go through … I wish you nothing but the best and look forward to many more years of your playful, silly, and beautiful antics! Smiling face with three hearts."

    "We love you. We fought for your freedom. We stand with you while you work thru your trauma," a second chimed in.

    Britney Spears talks about her personal trauma and painful struggles

    In the pop sensation's October 2023 memoir The Woman In Me, Britney Spears got candid about her resentment toward her father as he was appointed the legal guardian of her case in 2008.

    After being freed from a 13-year conservatorship in 2021, Britney has occasionally opened up about her difficulties, frequently blaming them on the trauma she experienced and her estranged father, Jamie Parnell Spears. 

    She said that Jamie, 71, was "put on the earth for no other reason than to help their cash flow," citing court documents that revealed the patriarch of the family received an estimated $6 million in compensation for his conservatorship of Spears.

    According to Page Six, aside from her broken relationship with Jamie, Spears also wrote about the trauma of having an abortion when she was merely a teenager because her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake "wasn't happy about the pregnancy."

    The former Mouseketeers' relationship terminated in 2002 due to Infidelity on both ends. Earlier, they had started dating in 1999.

    In addition to exploring her past in her best-selling book, Spears is still coping with the fallout from her marriage to Sam Asghari.

    After barely one year of marriage with Sam, the Gimme More singer and actor called it quits in August 2023, amid reports that Spears had been abusive to him. 

    Embracing her flaws and offering her followers love, Britney Spears recently posted pictures from her beach vacation while hinting at unspoken problems.

    Weeks after stripping off on the beach, Britney Spears is back and revealing even more as she poses nude once again while holidaying with her new man.

    The 42-year-old pop sensation is known for her rather out-there Instagram posts, regularly sharing explicit photographs with just a carefully placed emoji protecting her modesty.

    Her cryptic posts both reveal a lot and almost nothing as the Everytime singer showed off a mystery man – thought to be her boyfriend – kissing her forehead in one video.

    Her latest teasing snap went beyond just a cheeky bum flash as she knelt stark naked in the sand with little flower emojis strategically covering her open and bikini-less legs.

    'Swipe to see all 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌅 !!!' Britney promised in her caption to her 42.3 million followers.

    The photo was sneakily placed among other snaps of her holiday, smiling and posing in a pink floral dress.

    She also shared a cropped picture of her lying in the waves – swimwear on – and a video where she rocked a very low-rise yellow leopard print bikini and black boots.

    Britney keeps her Instagram comments switched off but has said she's 'working on' her social media presence.

    'I didn't like how pale my legs looked in my last post!!!' she wrote in one caption. 'Lighting, especially in a ring light can do amazing things but it can also really mess things up.
