Britney Spears' niece - Jamie Lynn Spears' daughter - commits to Southern Miss softball


Southern Miss has new connections to celebrities Jamie Lynn Spears and Britney Spears.

Maddie Watson, the daughter of Jamie Lynn Spears, committed to the Golden Eagles softball team. Jamie Lynn Spears was the star in a Nickelodeon TV show "Zoey 101" where she played Zoey Brooks. She's also the younger sister of Britney Spears, the musical artist.

Watson and Jamie Lynn Spears shared Instagram posts announcing the commitment. They include pictures of the two of them, plus stepfather Jamie Watson, on campus at the 50-yard line of M. M. Roberts Stadium, the eagle statue and inside Duff Athletic Center.

"I'm so thankful to all the players, coaches, and family that have supported me and made it possible to get to the point I am today," Maddie Watson wrote.

Jamie Lynn Spears was 16 years old when she gave birth to Maddie.

"All in my feels, bc my baby girl has committed to furthering her athletic & academic career at the University of Southern Miss," Jamie Lynn Spears wrote on Instagram. "I can remember it like it was just yesterday, as the whole world watched and judged as I made the choice to have my baby at 16 years old, fast fwd to today, and that same little baby girl is now 16 years old herself announcing that she will be going to play D1 ball for an amazing college."

Today, Jamie Lynn Spears' recent work includes the TV series "Sweet Magnolias" and "Zoey 102". In this photo, she attends the "Zoey 102" Cocktail Party at San Vicente Bungalows on June 22, 2023 in West Hollywood, California.

Jamie Lynn Spears also alluded to 2017 when Maddie Watson nearly died in an ATV accident.

"I feel like I can't take much credit for anything, bc I have witnessed this kid go through, face, & overcome some impossible things by her own strong will, convictions, determination, & the sheer grace of God," she wrote.

Watson attends Oak Forest Academy in Amite City, Louisiana, according to her Instagram page. However, Jamie Lynn Spears and Britney Spears were born in McComb, Mississippi, and attended Parklane Academy.

Southern Miss had a 22-29 record in 2024 in coach Natalie Poole's second season.

Britney Spears' debut single "…Baby One More Time" hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 the week of Jan. 30, 1999, kicking off a year that radically transformed modern pop. "Baby" spent a mere two weeks on top, and Spears didn't come close to replicating its chart success within that year: "Sometimes," her second single, topped out at No. 21, while "(You Drive Me) Crazy" wound up peaking at No. 10. While certainly respectable, these chart positions in no way reflect how thoroughly Britney Spears dominated the pop culture of 1999.

In a way, Britney Spears's rise is analogous to the other pop phenomenons of the 1990s, trends that were incubated in the underground only to explode in the mainstream. Noisy, dangerous and defiant, alternative rock and hip-hop's ascendency dominated the decade, obscuring how a commercial counter-culture developed in their shadow. Where grunge and rap were to some extent grassroots movements, the teen-pop revolution was cannily constructed by the industry. Anchored on Nickelodeon and Disney Channel, this unabashedly pop movement picked up where New Kids On The Block and New Edition left off, updating bubblegum with new jack rhythms and corporate pizzazz. Spears cut her teeth here as part of the '90s incarnation of The Mickey Mouse Club, a place where she learned how to sing, dance and be a star. 

The latter is an essential element of Britney's stardom in 1999. Her fellow MMC alum Christina Aguilera actually performed better on the Billboard charts than Spears, racking up three No. 1 hits from her eponymous 1999 debut — but her success was overshadowed by Britney. Much of that was due to the sun-blocking enormity of "Baby": The atomic midtempo anthem quickly proved pivotal for turn-of-the-millennium pop, with its hip-hop and R&B influences officially turning the page on the Eurodance-based top 40 of the earlier decade. It quickly cemented writer/co-producer Max Martin as the defining sonic architect of the moment, and became one of the most iconic songs of the turn of the millennium, spawning countless imitators in its wake.

A large part of Spears' rise was also due to her savvy manipulation of imagery — a gift showcased in the teasing music video for "Baby," which featured Britney slinking through high school hallways dressed as a schoolgirl. The video caught fire on MTV thanks in no small part to Total Request Live, with the clips for subsequent singles "Sometimes" and "(You Drive Me) Crazy" following it to regular play near the countdown's top. Britney's popularity is inextricably tied to the TRL era: Neither would've been as big a sensation without the other. 

Like all great pop stars, separating the image from the music was impossible with Britney Spears. Magazine photoshoots leaned into her provocative sexiness — her 1999 cover for Rolling Stone found her dressed in hot pants and cuddling a Teletubby — but she spent as much time working wholesome ground. Learning her Disney channel lessons well, Spears threw herself into the industry machine, appearing regularly on television and at mall events. Even "(You Drive Me) Crazy" received a boost from its appearance in the teen comedy Drive Me Crazy, the synergy suggesting how Spears was part of a smooth-running machine.

All of these avenues had been around for decades, but in 1999, the clean efficiency of Britney Spears' cross-platform pollination felt revolutionary. …Baby One More Time was the organizing force behind a series of multi-media events that sold Britney's stardom as much as the music itself, an idea that flourished in the social media-saturated 21st Century. 

Honorable Mention: Backstreet Boys (Millennium, "I Want It That Way," "Larger Than Life"), TLC (FanMail, "No Scrubs," "Unpretty"), Ricky Martin (Ricky Martin, "Livin' La Vida Loca," "She's All I Ever Had")

Rookie of the Year: Eminem

The biggest hit he had in 1999 was his debut single "My Name Is," which just scraped the top 40, placing no higher than 36. Still, there is no question that Eminem dominated the areas of 1999 that weren't defined by Britney Spears or BSB. Furious and funny — and thanks to producer Dr. Dre, quite funky — The Slim Shady LP courted controversy from all quarters. Eminem's violent, provocative imagery provided a lightning rod in 1999 but underneath that bluster, he proved himself a dextrous, quick-witted rapper — and his angst appealed to adolescents who would've been listening to grunge earlier in the '90s. 

Comeback of the Year: Cher 

Cher had long been a beloved figure in pop culture, but she never was quite hip. From her early days with Sonny Bono through her MTV-era arena-rock comeback, Cher's signature was enlivening a stuffy art form, which is why "Believe" was such a shock: It found her embracing dance so thoroughly, she fed her voice through an Auto-Tune audio predecessor. Largely treated as a novelty at the time, the robotization of Cher's voice had a lasting impact, with legions of singers and rappers adopting the innovation well into the next century. "Believe" had already topped the Hot 100 by early 1999, but its momentum rarely slowed throughout the year: Even when "Strong Enough" was released as a second single, "Believe" remained dominant, not only ruling the airwaves but propelling Cher's career for the next two decades.

The 30-year-old said, "You just got to keep it positive," adding, "You got to stay grounded and understand what the truth is and really just live with that rather than other people's opinions or anything like that."

JC Chasez Says *NSYNC Fans 'Were Not Excited to See' Britney Spears on Tour in 1998, But That Changed Fast


It's hard to imagine any crowd not going absolutely bonkers for Britney Spears. But according to JC Chasez, *NSYNC's fans were initially chilly toward the pop star when she opened for the band on tour in 1998.

On the latest episode of Glee rewatch podcast And That's What You Really Missed, Chasez called the dates on *NSYNC's 1998 to 1999 tour when Spears opened for the band "the stuff of legends."

"It was our first, like, big tour in America and she was just starting out, and it was crazy," he said.

Chasez noted that he and Justin Timberlake had starred alongside Spears in The All-New Mickey Mouse Club in the early '90s, and they were rooting for her. "We wanted her to win so bad," he said.

But according to Chasez, *NSYNC's fans didn't initially share the band's enthusiasm for the young singer, whose debut single, "…Baby One More Time," came out in September 1998, a little more than a month before her first show with the band.

"It was, like, the very first show we went out there, and they were not excited to see her because it was a girl who's around all the guys that they liked," Chasez, 48, recalled to hosts Jenna Ushkowitz and Kevin McHale. "We weren't even on the stage together, but they just associated it that way, the fans in the audience. So, for like, the first couple numbers, they'd be like quiet or there'd be some, like, hissing and a little bit of, like, negativity. A little booing."

"We felt so bad. Like, our hearts broke," Chasez added. "She was going out there, like, giving it. And it's just like, the audience, they were just kinda mad at her just for being there at first."

*NSYNC could relate, having just opened for Janet Jackson during the U.S. leg of her Velvet Rope tour in October 1998. "We would have to win the audience over," Chasez recalled. "Because they're not there to see us. They're there for an R&B show and here we are, a pop show."

"Winning a crowd when they're not there for you is one of the best things you can do, is one of the best skills you can learn as a performer," he added.

Things quickly changed for Spears as "…Baby One More Time" continued to climb the charts in late 1998.

"A week into playing shows, it was like a total flip," Chasez recalled. "It was incredible to see."

As *NSYNC fans' enthusiasm for Spears grew, Chasez remembered thinking, "Oh, so we're the main act, and yet, oh, they really like [Spears's] song. Oh, they really like her. Okay. She's not gonna stay as the opening act much longer. We're gonna have to find somebody else to help us out."

Spears ultimately did end up continuing to open for *NSYNC through January 1999. That same month, she released her debut album …Baby One More Time and embarked on her first headlining tour the following June.

Britney Spears had to 'find her real body' after the end of her conservatorship


Britney Spears had to "find her real body" after the end of her conservatorship.

The 42-year-old pop superstar regained control of her multimillion-dollar fortune as well as other aspects of her career and life in general when a conservatorship that was governed by her father Jamie was terminated in November 2021, and has hinted that throughout the arrangement that she was doing things against her will.

She wrote on Instagram: "When I landed in this exotic beautiful place my phone kept showing the same two pictures. I'm like, what is my phone trying to tell me ?!!! I literally go to call or text and these two pics pop up... it kept showing my foot when it was broken and a picture of church so I was like, I've been too safe with it because I don't think I've been in a confident place in my head.

"I said I want to find my real body... the one that would never do something if I didn't want to. The healing starts with the mind first !!! I know at one point in my life it literally wasn't even my body just from everything it was forced to do, so many things I disagreed with. It was humiliating so now I definitely feel a spiritual transformation."

The '...Baby One More Time' hitmaker - who claimed in her memoir 'The Woman In Me' that she was forced to sign a document committing to do her 'Piece of Me' world tour in 2018 amongst a host of other things - also spoke at the joy of "owning her feet" once again and pondered the idea of opening a dance studio.

She said: " I know this sounds crazy but just owning my feet... I don't want to go to the gym, all I want to do is move and feel alive or even just a mood and I have moments where I'm like, what the f--- was I just doing because it's been a long time since I've been away to play. I'm dancing and it feels so good to let go, I guess I could get a dance studio but I like a small place..."

Britney seemed to be on a vacation when she created the post, and claimed that she felt so "blessed" to be there because shhas been "through so much" in her home country that her mind just "shuts down" when she is there.

She added: "I don't get lost and the bathroom is huge!!! There is a freaking jungle outside behind me it's really sexy!!! I just feel blessed to be here!!! I've been through so much in the States, I honestly feel my mind immediately shuts down in the States.

"Only when I'm away my mind and heart open to heal because I think that the small voice within is saying, "You can play and rebel here it's ok". I don't even know if anyone is reading this but I haven't spoken up in a long time, but if by chance someone is... go where you feel most alive and know you are loved !!!!! I wish somebody had told me that a long time ago"

How Britney Spears’ One Simple Act Saved “How I Met Your Mother” From Getting Canceled


And she did it again, but this time, it wasn't just about breaking hearts—it was about breaking the internet and saving a sitcom. Yes, we're talking about none other than the pop icon herself, Britney Spears. Whether you were a '90s kid or someone who remembers when … Baby One More Time dropped, there's no denying that Spears didn't just rule the charts, she ran pop culture.

The Princess of Pop stepped into the world of sitcoms, specifically, How I Met Your Mother. A show that was already a fan favorite had no idea it would get a boost straight from the pop heavens. Yes, her cameo didn't just bring the laughs, it also brought in the viewers—which was exactly what the show needed at the time.

How I Met Your Mother: What Is It About?

At the heart of CBS' How I Met Your Mother is a simple yet profound question: How did Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor) meet his children's mother? But, oh, how the ride to that revelation is anything but simple. It's a tale that blends heart, humor, and a touch of heartbreak, creating a complex tapestry of love, friendship, and growing up in the whirlwind of New York City.

Ted Mosby starts the story with a mission – to tell his kids the long-winded saga of how their mother came into his life. The catch? The kids, now grown, can barely hide their disdain for their father's endless retellings. 

Let's take a closer look at the heart of the show: Ted's friends. There's Marshall (Jason Segel) and Lily (Alyson Hannigan), the adorable couple whose love is actually very sweet. Then, there's the outrageous, unforgettable Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris), whose infamous womanizing antics gave us some of the most laugh-out-loud moments. And don't forget Robin (Cobie Smulders), Ted's on-and-off-again love interest, who stirs a pot of emotions Ted can't quite seem to close.

What makes the show more than just a string of funny moments is its exploration of life, love, loss, and the moments we often overlook, stitched together with the magic of everyday friendships. While Ted's search for love is central, the show cleverly taps into something even more universal: the quest for belonging.

However, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. The finale, which aired in 2014 (via IMDb), packs an emotional punch. The kids' mother, a character we've all grown to adore, is revealed to have passed away, and Ted's relationship with Robin resurfaces, bringing a bittersweet end to his love story. It's a conclusion that leaves some fans in tears, and others in disbelief, but How I Met Your Mother never fails to leave an impact.

What makes this show even more fun are the memorable cameos that keep the audience guessing.

What Role Did Britney Spears Play in How I Met Your Mother?

When Britney Spears expressed interest in appearing on How I Met Your Mother, she wasn't aiming for a minor role. The pop sensation was considered to play Stella, a pivotal character who was torn between her love for Ted, her responsibilities as a mother, and the lingering emotions tied to her past (via E!). This was no small feat. But as it turns out, the role wasn't quite the right fit for her—at least, not at that time.

According to Carter Bays, co-creator of the beloved sitcom, the whole thing started with an unexpected call after the writers' strike in 2007. He recalled

We got a call a few weeks after the writers' strike ended saying that Britney Spears wanted to be on our show.

At first, the idea was exciting, but the shock came when Spears requested to appear in the exact episode that introduced Stella. Bays said:

And she specifically wanted to be in the episode 'Ten Sessions,' which sent a chill down our spines, because that's the one where we meet Stella.

It's easy to understand why Bays was immediately apprehensive. Stella was a major character with a complex emotional arc—something that required an actress with more experience, and Spears had yet to prove herself in such a role. Bays admitted he wasn't immediately on board: 

I immediately imagined Britney playing Stella and had a minor panic attack, because it's such a big role and needed a proven, experienced actress like Sarah Chalke.

At that point, the character was integral to Ted's love story, with a storyline that could break—or make—the series. Given Spears' background in music and her occasional forays into acting, the thought of her taking on such a critical role made Bays nervous.

However, Spears wasn't deterred. Instead of pushing for the challenging Stella, she expressed interest in playing Abby, a much lighter role. Bays shared:

But to her credit, Britney liked the character of Abby, and wanted to play that part.

And so, it was decided. Spears took on Abby, and it turned out to be a good decision for both her and the show. While her role as Abby wasn't as emotionally demanding as Stella's, Spears' appearance in Ten Sessions proved to be a big moment for How I Met Your Mother.

Britney Spears' Cameo Saved How I Met Your Mother From the Edge of Cancellation?

Yes, when Britney Spears made her debut on How I Met Your Mother, it wasn't just a fleeting cameo—it was a game-changer. The pop princess helped bring the CBS comedy back into the limelight, earning it its highest ratings ever.

About 10.7 million viewers tuned in to watch her in action, with the show netting an impressive 4.5 rating among adults aged 18-49 (via PEOPLE). For a series that was teetering on the edge of the renewal "bubble", Spears gave How I Met Your Mother the shot in the arm it desperately needed.

Carter Bays, the co-creator of HIMYM, couldn't help but gush about her impact. He admitted that Spears was nothing short of a lifeline for the show (via Business Insider): 

By golly, she put our show on the map. It can't be overstated. Britney Spears rescued us from ever being on the [renewal] bubble again. Thanks Britney!

Indeed, her star power and magnetic presence helped inject new energy into the series, reviving its momentum and keeping it on the radar.

But it wasn't just her fame that made her memorable—it was her comedic chops. Although Spears wasn't an actress by trade, the creators quickly realized that she had a knack for timing and improvisation. In fact, she was so natural in her role that they decided to bring her back for a second appearance in Season 3, Episode 19, titled Everything Must Go.

Note that her character, Abby, made her first appearance in Ten Sessions (Season 3, Episode 13), where she played a receptionist with an innocent crush on Ted Mosby. But things took a turn when Abby realized Ted was in love with his ex-girlfriend, Stella. Heartbroken, Abby's desperation led her to make some questionable choices, including a one-night stand with Barney.

Ergo, sometimes, all it takes is one spark to reignite a flame. Thanks to Spears, How I Met Your Mother not only survived—it thrived.

Other Guest Stars Who Stole the Show in How I Met Your Mother & Left Us Laughing for Days

How I Met Your Mother delivered plenty of laughs, heartwarming moments, and yes, memorable guest appearances that made certain episodes unforgettable. These cameos, often featuring stars in unexpected roles, became part of the magic that kept audiences hooked. Some of these stars left such an impact that they still spark nostalgia among fans, even years after the show wrapped up. 

Let's just say, the show had a knack for picking up guest stars who were more than just eye candy—they were pure comedic gold:

  • Jennifer Lopez: In Season 5, Episode 17, titled, Of Course, Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris) finds himself completely smitten by none other than Jennifer Lopez. Her character, Anita Appleby, is a life coach who specializes in giving advice about love and relationships. But here's the kicker: she's the author of a bluntly titled book, Of Course You're Still Single, Take A Look At Yourself You Damn Sl*t. 
  • Enrique Iglesias: Switching gears a bit, he makes a surprising yet charming appearance in Season 3, Episode 1 (Wait For It). Known for his smooth voice and heartthrob status, he plays Gael (or as Ted Mosby fondly calls him, Gale), Robin's handsome and enigmatic Argentinian boyfriend. Gael quickly becomes the talk of the gang, winning everyone over with his laid-back charm, acoustic guitar skills, and yes, his undeniably relaxing massages. Iglesias' cameo is a treat for fans who loved seeing him step into a role that's a far cry from his usual singing gigs.
  • Then there's Bob Odenkirk, whose role as Artillery Arthur in Season 5 packs a punch—literally. Odenkirk plays Marshall and Barney's boss, a military-type character with intense, almost comically extreme management habits. Known for his later role as Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, Odenkirk's portrayal of Arthur is a hilarious and intense precursor to the dark, cynical characters he would go on to play in his later career. His relationship with the gang is a bit of a love-hate affair, and his no-nonsense attitude is a stark contrast to the more laid-back, quirky personalities of the main characters.
  • And of course, who could forget Bryan Cranston? Before becoming synonymous with the brutal Walter White in Breaking Bad, Cranston appeared as Hammond Druthers, Ted's former boss who turned out to be a total nightmare. A man full of ego and arrogance, Druthers is the kind of boss who makes work feel like a daily grind, and his bullying ways push Lily to pull off a little prank of her own. 
  • Katy Perry: her appearance in Season 6, Episode 15 (Oh Honey) is another gem that had fans talking. Perry plays a character simply referred to as Honey, who's a bit of a hot mess—prone to making questionable decisions and easily manipulated. Her antics provide plenty of moments for the gang to express their disbelief and, of course, utter the now-iconic line, "Oh, honey." Perry's comedic timing and ability to turn a character with a rough past into something lovable made her cameo one for the books.
  • These guest stars, Britney Spears included, didn't just pop in for a quick cameo—they brought their A-game, turning every scene they were in into pure gold. Whether it was sharp-witted banter, hilarious one-liners, or completely unexpected twists, these stars knew exactly how to make their mark.

    These stars may have only been in a handful of episodes, but each one of them made sure their time on the show was unforgettable. Their presence added a whole new layer of humor and chaos, much like Ted and his quirky crew, ensuring that each episode kept us laughing, cringing, and guessing what would happen next.

    How I Met Your Mother is streaming on Netflix.

    Britney Spears' ex Sam Asghari shares insight into post-divorce life


    Originally appeared on E! Online

    Britney Spears' ex Sam Asghari is trying his best to be stronger than yesterday, following the end of their marriage.

    The actor shared insight into his new chapter of life Nov. 22, six months after the former couple settled their divorce.

    "It's the bed that you make yourself, and you got to learn how to lay in it," Asghari told People at the inaugural amfAR Las Vegas benefit event for AIDS research at Wynn Las Vegas, "so it's part of the lifestyle."

    The 30-year-old said, "You just got to keep it positive," adding, "You got to stay grounded and understand what the truth is and really just live with that rather than other people's opinions or anything like that."

    Spears' ex arrived at the event with his sister, Fay Asghari. Per People, he also attended the event with Brooke Irvine. The two, who have been spotted out and about together in Los Angeles in recent weeks, did not pose for photos together.

    Asghari has been keeping busy with his acting career since he and Spears split in 2023, one year after they married.

    This year, he's appeared in Paul Feig's comedy movie Jackpot!, starring John Cena and Awkwafina. Asghari, a fitness trainer, also took part in Jason Ellis' Apple TV+ documentary "Aging Evolution."

    And he will make his reality television debut in the upcoming third season of Peacock's murder mystery competition show "The Traitors," which also features the likes of Nikki Garcia, Chrishell Stause, Tom Sandoval and Zac Efron's brother Dylan Efron and is set to premiere Jan. 9.

    This past summer, Asghari shared what he's learned from his and Spears' marriage.

    "You learn so much from being in relationships in general," he exclusively told E! News' Francesca Amiker. "I appreciate all the amazing experiences that I got."

    "The Lioness" actor explaining that his time with the "Piece of Me" singer is "something that's always going to be a part of me." And he had nothing but kind words to say about his ex-wife.

    "I wish her the best," he said. "She's an amazing person and a huge part of my life and I always appreciate the moments we had together."

    Britney Spears will keep moving to her own rhythm. The pop icon clapped back after the Osbournes commented on her dancing videos in the July 16 episode of their family podcast.

    Britney Spears' Ex, Sam Asghari, Speaks Out on Post-Divorce Life: 'It's the Bed That You Make Yourself' (Exclusive)


    Sam Asghari is opening up about his life since finalizing his divorce from Britney Spears.

    The actor and model attended the inaugural amfAR Las Vegas benefit event for AIDS research at Wynn Las Vegas on Friday, Nov. 22 and reflected on his new chapter in an interview with PEOPLE.

    Asked how he's adjusted to his new life without Spears, 42, the 30-year-old tells PEOPLE, "It's the bed that you make yourself, and you got to learn how to lay in it, so it's part of the lifestyle." 

    "You just got to keep it positive," Asghari, who attended the event with Brooke Irvine, continues. "You got to stay grounded and understand what the truth is and really just live with that rather than other people's opinions or anything like that."

    Asghari and Spears married in June 2022 and separated on July 30, 2023. They settled their divorce in early May.

    After filing for divorce, Asghari addressed the pair's split in a statement on his Instagram Stories.

    "After 6 years of love and commitment to each other my wife and I have decided to end our journey together," he wrote at the time. "We will hold onto the love and respect we have for each other and I wish her the best always. S--- happens. Asking for privacy seems ridiculous so I will just ask for everyone including media to be kind and thoughtful."

    Since then, the fitness model tells PEOPLE he's "absolutely" been able to move on, but, for the time being, he's focusing on several work projects. 

    "There's a lot of work stuff that I'm doing that I want to let the work do the talk, and with acting, it's what comes next and all the work that you're putting in," Asghari, who's set to star in season 3 of The Traitors, tells PEOPLE. "So I did a few projects and very excited to announce it."

    Asghari also opened up to PEOPLE about his divorce back in March and had nothing but positive things to say about his marriage to the musician.

    "It was a blessing to be able to share life with someone for a long time. And people grow apart and people move on," he said, adding that he holds no ill will towards his ex.

    "I've always hated people leaving a certain relationship — and at some point they told each other they love each other and they sat at the same table and ate food [together] — so I never understood when people part ways [and] they talk badly about each other," he said. "That's something I'm never going to do because I had nothing but an amazing experience and a great life, and that's always going to be part of my life, a chapter of my life."

    Miley Just Revealed Which Britney Song Was On In "Party In The U.S.A."


    Miley Cyrus is finally shedding some light on a 15-year mystery. The pop star's patriotic hit "Party in the U.S.A." is still ubiquitous in pop culture, but even though everyone knows all the lyrics by heart, there's a specific detail that Cyrus hasn't disclosed. Until now.

    In the song's iconic pre-chorus, Cyrus sings about how she's feeling nervous and homesick in Los Angeles, but that all goes away when a DJ starts playing a Britney Spears song. "And a Britney song was on," Cyrus repeats. But... what Britney song was it?

    "If I had to choose one it would be 'Slave 4 U,'" Cyrus revealed in a Nov. 22 episode of Spotify's Billions Club: The Series, referring to Spears' 2001 single "I'm a Slave 4 U." "When I watched that video for the first time, that's when I knew I wanted to be a stripper. No, a star. Why choose when you can be both?"

    Cyrus has been a very vocal fan of Spears throughout her career. She's gushed over Spears' performance in 2002's Crossroads, showed her support for Spears during her 2021 conservatorship battle, and performed a cover of Spears' cult-loved comeback single "Gimme More." Oh, and she got to collaborate with her icon on her 2013 release "SMS (Bangerz)."

    Sadly, it doesn't sound like there's much hope for another collab between the two artists. After finally freeing herself from a 13-year conservatorship in 2021, Spears has veered away from the singing and performing. At the start of 2024, she explicitly said she'd never return to the music industry, though she added that she still enjoys ghostwriting songs for other artists.

    As for Cyrus, she's looking ahead to an entirely new vibe with her next era, having recently announced she'll be releasing a visual album in 2025 inspired by psychedelic rock and horror movies.

    Paris Hilton celebrates 'landmark moment' with Britney Spears


    Paris Hilton celebrates an iconic moment with Britney Spears, as she marked 18th anniversary of inventing the selfie.

    Taking to Instagram, Paris shared carousal of snaps with Britney, captioning the images: "18 years ago today @BritneySpears and I invented the Selfie #IconsOnly."

    The 43-year-old also added, the twins emoji, camera flash emoji and flame emoji to the caption.

    However, this is not the first time that the House of Wax star opened up about originating the selfie with the 42-year-old. 

    She posted an image on X (formerly Twitter) in 2023. The post read, "In the 2000s, I invented the selfie. What have you done with my invention since then?!"

    The fashion model had ignited reactions from social media users, after asserting that, she and the Toxic vocalist are the master minds behind the invention of 'The Selfie' - the act of taking a photo of yourself.

    Despite of immense backlash, the star has continued with her stance on the matter and kept on enjoying the wave of social discourse that her remarks have sparked.

    Britney spears and Paris Hilton shares a close bond since years, In her 2023 memoir The Woman in Me, the Princess of Pop wrote, "It was never as wild as the press made it out to be" and she thanked the heiress for her years of friendship."

    Following the singer's memoir, the business woman shared that she was 'so proud' of Spears for telling her story in her memoir, while conversing with PEOPLE in October 2023.

    Addison Rae Says ‘No One’ Deserves to Play Britney Spears in the Singer's Upcoming Biopic


    Addison Rae does not want to star as Britney Spears in the singer's forthcoming biopic. Though Rae is a Spears superfan, she says “no one” truly deserves to play the princess of pop on-screen.

    “I honestly don’t think anyone deserves to play her. She’s such an enigma and such an icon," the musician and dancer recently told iHeart Radio's The Hit List, before addressing the frequent comparisons between herself and Spears. “I don’t even think it’s right to compare me to her at all. I think she really, really created something that is untouchable and so in its own lane that nobody will ever truly be able to replicate what she did for music, and even the entertainment industry.”

    Rae's Britney Spears fandom runs deep, and she told The Hit List that she wants the singer herself fto be the guiding force in casting an actor to fictionally step into her shoes, not fan desires or media speculation. “I support anything and everything that Britney Spears ever wants to do in her life and career, and I think she’ll have the best opinion on who she thinks that should be,” Rae said.

    News of a Britney Spears biopic dropped earlier this summer, after Wicked director Jon M. Chu and Universal pictures landed the rights to her bestselling memoir The Woman in Me. It's common pop culture knowledge that Addison Rae is a fan of the singer's book; she was famously pictured (and memed) reading it while on a walk, and her pal Troye Sivan paid homage to the moment with his 2024 Halloween costume.

    While a plethora of names have been tossed around to potentially play Spears, nothing has been set in stone casting-wise yet. Way back in 2022, Millie Bobby Brown called Spears her “dream” role. “Just growing up in the public eye, watching her videos, watching interviews of her when she was younger… I feel like I could tell her story in the right way,” she told Drew Barrymore at the time. We'll just have to wait and see.

    Britney Spears reunites with son Jayden, 18, after years of estrangement and move to Hawaii


     Britney Spears has reunited with son 18-year-old Jayden after years of estrangement and his move to Hawaii with dad Kevin Federline and older brother Sean Preston, 19.

    The 42-year-old pop megastar - whose 2016 interview was recently published -  is said to have reunited with her youngest son according to a Monday report from Page Six.

    An insider for the publication said:  'They have been spending a lot of time together.'

    DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for Spears and Federline and have yet to hear back.

    Britney Spears has reunited with son 18-year-old Jayden (pictured right) after years of estrangement and his move to Hawaii with dad Kevin Federline and older brother Sean Preston, 19 (pictured left)

    A second source told Page Six that Jayden has been 'back in California' where Britney lives after relocating to Hawaii last year. 

    It remains unclear if Jayden stayed at his famous mom's $7.4million estate in Thousand Oaks.

    However, Page Six reports that Britney's older son Sean Preston still lives in Hawaii.

    The insider for the publication said: 'Britney is thrilled to have her baby back. Everything is moving in the right direction.'

    It is interesting to note that there has been no word of Britney spending time with her older son as Jayden has previously said that he was always her favorite.

    The younger son previously told Daily Mail in September 2022: 'I think Mom has struggled giving us both attention and showing us equal love, I don’t think she showed enough to Preston, and I feel really bad for that.

    'We’ve both been through so much pressure in the past that thi s is our safe place now, to process all the emotional trauma we’ve been through to heal, heal our mental state.'

    In September, Britney shocked many fans as she penned a sweet birthday tribute to her sons, Sean and Jayden, in an Instagram post uploaded on Saturday in celebration of them both turning one year older.

    The 42-year-old pop megastar - whose 2016 interview was recently published - is said to have reunited with her youngest son according to a Monday report from Page Six  as an insider for the publication said: 'They have been spending a lot of time together'

    The Baby One More Time songstress also shared throwback photos with her kids, whom she shares with ex, Kevin Federline.

    The Princess of Pop was slated to cease paying child support to Federline when her youngest son turned 18 - but it was recently revealed that she may have to continue to make payments until he graduates high school later this year, per People.

    Sean turned 19 on Saturday and only two days earlier, his younger brother Jayden celebrated his 18th birthday on September 12.

    In one image included in the post, Britney could be seen with her two boys when they were younger - and the group could be seen transfixed by something high in the night sky.

    Another picture was taken as Spears stepped out while holding one of her sons while strolling outdoors.

    Lastly, the performer also shared an additional snap of her enjoying an outing with Sean and Jayden when they were little. 

    In the caption, the Toxic singer typed out to her fans and followers, 'This month is my boys' birthdays !!! Happy Birthday babies and I hope you get all your wishes and more!!!' 

    'Psss does anyone have any clue why we're all looking up ???' she asked, referencing to the first image she uploaded.

    In September, Britney shocked many fans as she penned a sweet birthday tribute to her sons, Sean and Jayden, in an Instagram post uploaded on Saturday in celebration of them both turning one year older 

    Also earlier that month in September, sources told DailyMail.com that Spears' child support payments will come to a stop as Jayden officially turned 18. 

    The performer has been paying her ex, Kevin, for a total of 17 years - with payments amounting to around $5 million. 

    'The amount of money Britney has given Kevin for the two boys is extraordinary and it is enough for any man to support an entire family, which is what she believes he has done,' a source stated. 

    In regards to Federline, the insider added, 'Britney is hearing that he is not a happy camper' while explaining she is 'living her best life.'

    Late last year in October 2023, Britney released her best-selling memoir, The Woman In Me - which is now being turned into a motion picture, with Universal recently acquiring the rights. 

    The source stated, 'This film has allowed her to get outside of her head. She is considering creating new music for the soundtrack but that is still preliminary.' 

    However, despite her youngest son officially turning 1 8, Britney will possibly have to continue paying child support to Federline for a few more months. 

    Kevin's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, told People in an article published on Friday that child support payments must continue until the child graduates high school - even if they are already 18, per California state law. 

     In the caption, the Toxic singer typed out to her fans and followers, 'This month is my boys' birthdays !!! Happy Birthday babies and I hope you get all your wishes and more!!!'; seen in 2013 in L.A.

    'Under California law, child support jurisdiction continues until the minor child reaches the age of 18, or if upon their 18th birthday they have not yet graduated high school, it co ntinues until they graduate high school, but in no event later than their 19th birthday,' Kaplan informed the outlet. 

    'The child support in this case for Jayden is being paid consistent with that law. His graduation for high school will be in November.' 

    A source soon shared the pop icon's response to the possibility of continuing child support payments.  

    'Britney has plans for the boys' future and will do whatever she can and will always continue to love and support them,' the insider stated. 

    However, despite her youngest son officially turning 18, Britney will possibly have to continue paying child support to Federline for a few more months

    Back in June, a source informed DailyMail.com that Britney had reconnected with Sean and Jayden - and revealed her brother Bryan Spears had helped. 

    'Britney has been speaking to, and working on, her relationship with Sean Preston and Jayden for months now,' the insider said. 

    'The boys have so much love for their mother, as she does for them. Things are fully back on track and they are looking forward to the future together.' 

    A separate source explained that the star's brother, Bryan, 'was instrumental in facilitating their reunion. He cares so much for Britney and about his nephews.' 

    'She wanted to keep this quiet because she didn' t want it to jeopardize their chances of reconciliation, but she's actually been back to being their mom again since February.' 

    Her sons currently live in Hawaii with their father, Kevin, and the source said the singer, 'has gone to Hawaii to see them and they have come to her house to spend time with her.' 

    During an interview with ITV in 2022, Jayden expressed that both his and Sean's relationship could be repaired with Britney.  

    Back in June, a source informed DailyMail.com that Britney had reconnected with Sean and Jayden - and her brother Bryan Spears had helped

    'I 100% think this can be fixed. It's just going to take a lot of time and effort,' he explained at the time. 'I just want her to get better mentally. When she gets better I really want to see her again.'

    He then shared a message to his mother and stated, 'I love you a lot, I hope for the best for you. Maybe one day we can sit down like this and talk again.' 

    Along with sending her sons sweet birthday wishes, Spears has been active on social media and recently gave her thoughts on Sabrina Carpenter referencing her at the 2024 MTV VMAs. 

    Other celebrities paid homage to the pop icon during the big night earlier this week on Wednesday, such as Megan Thee Stallion and Tate McRae.
