Following the legal fallout, Britney, 42, said there was "no justice" in the outcome.

"My family hurt me!!! There has been no justice and probably never will be!!!" she wrote on Instagram on Sunday.

"The people who sat and did absolutely nothing when they did that for four months are smooth sailing!!!"

Britney made the comments on a photo of herself posing in a black lace thong with her back to the camera.

"I was actually right about nerve damage in my back!!!" she had started off the caption.

"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 Overprotected hitmaker also posted the cover of Jennette McCurdy's book, I'm Glad My Mom Died.

The memoir is about the Nickelodeon alum's experience with her late abusive mother.

"Stay nice folks!!! Good book," Britney captioned it.

Hours later, she wiped her Instagram page without warning.

                    <!-- End of Brightcove Player -->  

On Friday, the mother of two settled her legal dispute with Jamie, 71.

The pop music sensation was under a strict conservatorship with her father from 2008 to 2021 following a series of public meltdowns.

She continued to clash with Jamie over his legal fees and management of her finances during the conservatorship after it was terminated in 2021.

COURT WAR

Jamie wanted more than $2 million for hiring lawyers during the 13-year conservatorship as well as his current lawyer's bills.

Britney was ordered to pay her father's legal bills, according to TMZ.

Sources told the outlet that Britney is "furious" by the outcome after her lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, told her she had a good chance of winning.

Britney has reportedly paid him approximately $4 million during his time as her lawyer.

The Sun can reveal the reason the case didn't go to court was over fears that Britney would be forced to relive her tough past experiences.

"Her legal team decided the focus should be on ­protecting her from reliving the traumas of her ­conservatorship," a source said.

In a 2021 court statement before the conservatorship was revoked, she said, "My dad and anyone involved in this conservatorship, including my management… they should be in jail."

    </div>  </div>  

Jamie lost sole control over Britney's finances in a February 2021 court ruling.

He stepped down as conservator of her estate in August of that year, meaning he could no longer make decisions about her life or money.

Britney's conservatorship ended in November, as a judge ruled in favor of her finally taking full control of her life and career.

"I do believe the suspension of Jamie Spears is in the best interest of Britney Spears," Judge Brenda Penny said in court at the time.

"The current situation is unattainable. The court finds the toxic environment Jamie Spears has created needs to be removed today."

How can you tell whether a flannelette sheet is good quality?

There's plenty of flannelette sheets out there, so how do you ensure you're going to find a set that will go the distance — with superior quality that offers warmth, comfort and durability? The main thing to look for is the fabric details: you want flannelette sheets made from 100 per cent pure cotton, as this will be the softest and warmest while also being somewhat breathable thanks to the natural properties of cotton fibres. Also, if you'd like superior warmth and softness, look for flannelette sheets that specify whether they're double-brushed, or brushed on both sides — this traps in additional warmth to keep you cosy.

Are brushed cotton sheets the same as flannelette?

Yes, brushed cotton sheets are the same as flannelette. Flannelette material is made from cotton that has been brushed, which pulls on the softest, finest fibres to raise them away from the fabric surface, creating a fuzzy texture that traps warmth. It's worth noting that sometimes sheets labelled "brushed cotton" refer to a fabric that's only been brushed on one side while flannelette more often refers to double-brushed cotton, but it's the same concept — just double check the product information to ensure.

What is the best material for sheets to keep you warm?

There are quite a few choices of materials to look for in bedsheets when it's warmth that you're looking for. Flannelette are definitely the warmest, softest and cosiest option on the market, so they're a great choice if your home gets quite cold in the wintertime, or if you just run a little cold yourself.

If you're looking for something that's not quite as warm but more suited to year-round use, bamboo or linen sheets are naturally thermoregulating, meaning they keep you warm in winter and cool in summer (though they aren't quite as cosy as flannelette).

What is Mufasa about?

Mufasa: The Lion King is a prequel to 2019's The Lion King, which itself was a "live action" photorealistic animated remake of the iconic 1994 Disney film of the same name.

Mufasa is a prequel, but also in some ways it's also a sequel — it tells the story of how King Mufasa, the father of Simba, came to rule the Pride Lands. The story is told by the wise old baboon Rafiki (with added commentary by Pumbaa and Timon) to Kiara, who is the daughter of Simba and Nala and granddaughter of Mufasa.

The official description from Disney explains: "Mufasa: The Lion King enlists Rafiki to relay the legend of Mufasa to young lion cub Kiara, daughter of Simba and Nala, with Timon and Pumbaa lending their signature schtick. Told in flashbacks, the story introduces Mufasa as an orphaned cub, lost and alone until he meets a sympathetic lion named Taka — the heir to a royal bloodline. The chance meeting sets in motion an expansive journey of an extraordinary group of misfits searching for their destiny — their bonds will be tested as they work together to evade a threatening and deadly foe."

Directed by Barry Jenkins, the musical film will feature original songs written by Hamilton creator Lin Manuel Miranda.

Who is Blue Ivy playing in Mufasa?

Blue Ivy is voicing the character of Princess Kiara, the eldest daughter of King Simba and Queen Nala.


Who else stars in Mufasa?

Reprising their roles from the 2019 film, Blue Ivy's mother Beyoncé plays Queen Nala and Donald Glover (AKA Childish Gambino) plays King Simba. Seth Rogen and Billy Eichner return as Pumbaa and Timon respectively; and John Kani is back as Rafiki.

Alongside Blue Ivy, additional newcomers to the Pride Lands include Aaron Pierre as Mufasa (replacing the original iconic voice actor, James Earl Jones), Kelvin Harrison Jr. as Taka, Tiffany Boone as Sarabi, Preston Nyman as Zazu, Mads Mikkelsen as Kiros, and Thandiwe Newton as Eshe.

While this is their first feature film together, Blue Ivy and Beyoncé have already worked together a number of times. Following the release of The Lion King in 2019, Beyoncé released an album of songs inspired by the film titled The Lion King: The Gift, including the song "Brown Skin Girl," on which Blue Ivy featured and earned a songwriting credit. The music video for that song went on to win a Grammy Award for Best Music Video, which made Blue Ivy, who was then aged nine, the second-youngest-ever Grammy winner.

Last year, Blue Ivy also accompanied Beyoncé on her Renaissance world tour, appearing onstage alongside her mother's backup dancers.

Is Julia Fox entering her pop star era? | V0A9GS9 | 2024-04-30 14:08:01


SHE'S AN ACTOR, author, television host and style maven — and now it appears that Julia Fox is adding "singer" to her resume, as she teases an upcoming single titled: "Down The Drain".

The 34-year-old who broke out with her role in the critically-acclaimed 2019 film Uncut Gems before dominating tabloid headlines for her brief relationship with Kanye West, released a memoir last year of the same name — Down The Drain.

Fox first teased the song at the book launch in October of 2023, before reprising it months later at Charli XCX's Boiler Room warehouse rave in February of 2024.

Read on for what we know so far about Julia Fox's new song — and how she's entered her pop star era.


A post shared by Julia Fox (@juliafox)

Is Julia Fox releasing music?

It appears that yes, Julia Fox is pivoting into music. On April 29, Fox posted what appears to be cover art for a single titled: "Down The Drain" on Instagram, captioning the post "

Is Julia Fox entering her pop star era?

DOWN THE DRAIN

05/03" — so it appears safe to say that the single will officially arrive on May 3. Although the release is new, the song itself is not — in fact, Fox seems to have been teasing it for some time now.

During the book launch event for Fox's Down The Drain memoir at New York's Metograph theatre on October 26 of last year, Fox treated the crowd to a surprise performance of an original song. Per Vulture, the song was made with producer and experimental composer Ben Draghi, and is "a slinky, woozy piece of self-referential pop with a witchy incantation of a chorus that goes, "I'm a bitch I'm a girl I'm a mother I'm a whore.'"


Four months later, on February 22, 2024, Fox reprised the song at British singer Charli XCX's Boiler Room set, performing solo in a black cut-out dress. Footage from Fox's performance during the evening went viral online, racking up millions of views.

It's a new pivot from Fox, but she's never been one to confine herself to a singular pursuit. "I never envisioned myself being in movies or doing anything I'm doing … I just go wherever the wind blows," she recently told Variety during a junket for her new fashion competition reality series, Omg Fashun, which she hosts alongside Zendaya's stylist, Law Roach.

Whether the single will lead to a full EP or album remains to be seen — but we'll be staying tuned, that's for sure.

Vivid Sydney 2024 program

Vivid's holistic and immersive program is packed full of a huge mix of experiences, performances and installations this year, taking place everywhere from Circular Quay to Carriageworks. You can discover the entire program here, or below, we break down the highlights of each segment of the festival.

Amy Poehler is offering a talk

Last year Vivid hosted Jennifer Coolidge, and this year they've got Amy Poehler on board. The Golden Globe and Emmy award-winning actor and comedian is headlining this year's Vivid Ideas line-up for an exclusive in-conversation event sure to offer plenty of laughs and girlboss inspiration.

The Saturday Night Live star and actor behind the iconic and uber bubbly, Galentine's obsessed Parks and Recreation character Leslie Knope will chronicle her iconic comedy career to moderator Zan Rowe — while also showing a sneak peek at Disney and Pixar's Inside Out 2. Poehler voices the character of Joy in the film franchise, which won the Oscar for Best Animated Picture in 2016.

"I'm really looking forward to taking part in Vivid Sydney this year, a place that welcomes Joy in every way," Poehler said.

"I can't wait to share a little of Inside Out 2: a movie that lets Joy and Sadness, Anxiety and Envy — all try to work together in hilarious and touching ways."

The one-off event will take place at the Joan Sutherland Theatre at the Sydney Opera House, on Monday May 27 from 7pm with red carpet arrivals to take place from 6pm.

Vivid Ideas 2024 program

This year's Vivid Ideas program seeks to expand its own boundaries, offering panels, conferences and talks as well as more interactive formats — like walking tours, meditations and other immersive experiences to encourage meaningful connections between strangers.

"Sex Work: A legal and social history" is a deep-dive into Kings Cross and Darlinghurst's red-light stories that challenges stereotypes; while "Say My Name: The Humanity of Names" is a storytelling session and panel discussion unpacking how and why certain names are categorised are "tricky" or "foreign".

"Golden Age of Humanity" will spotlight nine influential Australians (including chef and restaurateur Kylie Kwong and journalist Kate McClymont) across nine nights at the Golden Age Cinema in Surry Hills. And for a more quirky spin, Liesel Badorrek's "Window Dressing" engages our natural human fascination with privacy, allowing viewers to peer through illuminated windows to watch ordinary people living ordinary lives across eight windows of a Frank Gehry building on The Goods Line.

You can even put yourself in the centre of the action at "A Thousand Ways: An Encounter" from New York company 600 Highwaymen, which places you and a stranger at the centre of a private "performance" encouraging you to see each other in a new light.

Vivid Music 2024 program

A curated program of live performances, concerts and DJ sets across a number of venues — including Tumbalong Park, Machine Hall Precinct, Sydney Opera House and Carriageworks — will bring a huge group of local and international musicians to Sydney.

12 nights of free performances at Tumbalong Nights is sure to be a highlight, featuring the likes of Brisbane's pop princess Mallrat, Western Sydney's rising indie star grentperez and Coodjinburra crooner Budjerah, who opened Ed Sheeran's Australian tour last year.

At the Sydney Opera House, prepare to be transported by artists including American singer-songwriter Sky Ferreira, returning to Australia for her first time in 10 years; the genre-defying Queensland star Tia Gostelow; Meanjin-born Gamilaraay singer-songwriter Thelma Plum; and Swedish-born, Los Angeles-based R&B singer Snoh Aalegra, in her Australian debut.

See the full Vivid Music program here.

Vivid Light 2024 program

This year's Vivid Light program promises to be as spectacular as ever — or perhaps more than ever before. US artist Yvette Mattern brings "Global Rainbow" to the Sydney Tower, with its 40-kilometre beams of vibrant lights shining over the city. The signature Sydney Opera House Lighting of the Sails will spotlight talented 2023 Archibald Prize Winner and Sydney-based textiles artist Julia Gutman, with her patchworks brought to life for "Echo".

Customs House and the Museum of Contemporary Art will have their façades reimagined by Australian artist Reg Mombassa and Chinese-Australian artist Guan Wei, respectively. Elsewhere, "Hika Rakuyo" brings the Japanese concept of the same name to Cockle Bay, using flowers and falling leaves as a metaphor for life's transient beauty — shown through spectacular Australian native flora that will bloom over the bay.

NSW artist Sinclair Park's work "Stateless" will feature 4000 solar-powered LED candles burning along Barangaroo Reserve, representing the increasing number of stateless people around the globe; while Leila Jeffreys and Melvin J. Montalban's "Nest" projection at the Stargazer Lawn showcases humanity's connection to nature through the mating dance of the native brolga.

Vivid Food 2024 program

Vivid's Food program returns for its second year in 2024, celebrating Sydney's rich and diverse culinary scene. "Vivid Fire" Kitchen returns with the universal appeal of a communal barbecue at The Goods Line; while "A Culinary Canvas by Danielle Alvarez" welcomes guests to the Opera House's Yallamundi Rooms to celebrate women in Australian gastronomy and winemaking.

"Our Shared Humanity" sees some of NSW's best chefs plate up a three-course vegetarian menu using rescued local produce, while a 10-course degustation at Kyiv Social highlights the authenticity and abundance of a Ukrainian family table for "Plates With Purpose: A Taste of Ukraine".

And for those who love to meander and sample, VividPlace Food Trail will take over Sydney Place and Bulletin Place laneways — featuring over 20 of Australia's top chefs, restaurateurs and bartenders in a night food market style experience.

See the full Vivid Food program here.

How long is Vivid Sydney on for?

This year, Vivid Sydney will run for 23 nights from May 24 to June 15, 2024. Each night, the lights will flicker on at 6pm — offering you plenty of time to explore all the incredible installations scattered throughout the city.

But Alicia, 47, made sure to save some alone time during their vacation as well, stripping down naked for a swim in a lagoon pool on Thursday.

The '90s star posted a snap on Instagram of herself completely nude while wading in the hotel pool.

In the photo, the actress gazed away from the camera as she swam naked while surrounded by jungle plants.

Although the water concealed Alicia's body, she made sure fans knew that she was nude.

"When life offers a secluded pool, skinny dip," she wrote in the caption, adding a water emoji.

Fans offered their support in the comments section, with many gushing over the MTV award-winner for enjoying the peaceful moment.

"The true sense of freedom," one wrote, as another agreed, "You look so peaceful."

"Looks like you're having a great time," a third admitted.

"That looks perfect," another agreed.

Alicia was joined on the trip by her lookalike son, Bear.

COSTA RICA ADVENTURE

Days before her skinny dip, the California native shared another video of her exciting travels.

In a short clip posted on her Instagram, the actress was bundled up in rain gear as she walked on a suspension bridge in Costa Rica.

Rain was pouring down on her head as she navigated the jungle with a shocked expression on her face.

She explained in the caption, writing, "When you're on a hike and it starts pouring so much that you're soaked from head to toe."

<!--googleoff: all-->  <blockquote class="article__quote">    </blockquote>  <!--googleon: all-->  

Alicia added a message regarding Earth Day, saying, "Still enjoyed it Rain or shine, I'll always appreciate our world. Happy Earth Day!"

Earlier this month, the mother-of-one shared several more snapshots from their exciting vacation.

In the photo collection, the star began with a shot of her and Bear standing in front of a dramatic mountain backdrop.

Alicia sported a long-sleeved red t-shirt with baggy black pants, sandals, and no makeup.

Meanwhile, Bear was dressed in black sweatpants with a white graphic design, a black t-shirt, and Yeezy slides.

The teen was already taller than his mother in the snap.

In a second pic, the mother-son duo posed while on a river in Costa Rica.

The pair sported life jackets and helmets as they seemingly returned from a river rafting excursion.

They wrapped their arms around each other and smiled brightly for the camera.

She captioned the post, "Eating delicious food…

"White water rafting…and spending quality time with my son. Costa Rica has [been] amazing so far!"

FAN COMMENTS

But fans were stunned at how grown up Alicia's son had become, racing to the comments to note his amazing height.

"Bear is so tall!" one remarked.

"Bear is now taller than you. They grow so fast," a second agreed.

"When did he get taller than you? Sounds like an incredible trip with lots of bonding," a third noted.

"Bear is huge! Hear for all of it!" a fourth gushed.

"Kid's all grown up! Wow! Your son is a carbon copy with his smile," a fifth claimed.

SINGLE MOM

Alicia married her ex-husband Christopher Jarecki in 2005, and the couple welcomed Bear in May 2011.

But after 13 years of marriage, the pair called it quits in 2018.

Back in February, The Crush alum posted throwback photos of her son on TikTok in honor of Valentine's Day.

In a 40-second video, she included different snaps from their snow days over the last 10 years.

The two bundled up in heavy jackets and beanies while playing around in white snow.

She gushed in the caption, "Look what popped up on my phone. Sweet little Bear!

"I love our winter memories."

Alicia is best known for her iconic 1995 leading role in the coming-of-age film Clueless.

The chef also tagged Columbia Motor Alley, the full-service repair shop owned by the History Channel star.

In one of the snaps, David held the camera high and took a selfie with Mike.

The two showed off their casual outfits as they smiled at the camera,

"Brainstorming with these guys!" David captioned the post.

"No pun, but we might be cooking up something big!"

"Be looking out! Cheers!" he closed.

In the following Story, Mike displayed a short clip of a vintage motorcycle. 

He checked on the engine parts as the 1937 Indian Chief bike roared. 

Mike has been keeping busy despite the ratings for American Pickers being inconsistent.

THE DISMAL RATINGS

In late December 2023, the TV star reunited with co-hosts Robbie Wolfe, who recently turned 63, Danielle Colby, 48, and co-star Jon Szalay, aka Jersey Jon, 60, for Season 25.

In early April, installments for Season 25 were bumped off the air due to low ratings.

The ratings reached about 85,000 viewers tuning in after losing about 151,000 viewers. 

Despite kicking off March with nearly one million viewers, the following week's installment suffered a drastic nosedive and drew in 785,000 viewers.

BACK TO WORK

Despite the troubling ratings, the Wolfe siblings shared photos and videos of themselves filming new episodes

In mid-April, the 59-year-old star was spotted in Louisiana with his brother Robbie and castmate Jon Szalay.

In an Instagram post, the antique expert revealed he was "filming with one of the greatest of all time" – the legendary guitarist James Burton, 84.

Robbie also shared a brief clip of the pouring rain hammering the streets. 

"Keep on picking. We are still filming new episodes of American Pickers," Robbie wrote.

Around the same time, Mike's girlfriend, Leticia Cline, 45, teased she might make an appearance in an upcoming episode.

She recently shared some snapshots from Mississippi alongside her boyfriend and the American Pickers cast.

BIANCA Censori's sister looked like the spitting image of her in a new social media post.

Angelina Censori sported a racy dress on an Instagram Story she shared over the weekend in the wake of her birthday celebrations.

The star looked very similar to her sister, Bianca Censori[/caption]

The youngest of Bianca's two sisters took a video of herself from a mirror in her Australian home.

Angelina donned a skin-tight black dress that was cut short and exposed her long legs.

The dress featured a draping fabric which accentuated her slim waist and gathered around her hips.

Angelina's one piece also contained long sleeves and a plunging neckline, which showed off her bare chest.

Her hair was scraped back into an updo and she wore a face full of natural makeup.

In the video, she moved her slim body around to show a couple of different angles.

There was no further context added to her post, but the star shared the video the day after her birthday celebrations.

Angelina was featured on a friend's social media as Saskia Stecki uploaded a snapshot of Bianca's sibling in her steamy dress.

The figure-hugging outfit had cutouts on the side which hinted she was not wearing underwear.

She teased a bit of bare skin from her hips while posing in front of white tiled walls.

                    <!-- End of Brightcove Player -->  

Angelina smiled at the camera as she extended her arms and carried a handbag. 

Her long hair flowed onto her shoulders and down her back.

"MF birthday," Saskia captioned the post.

After that, the friend shared a video from Bianca's sister at a concert dancing to music.

During the clip, the Australian professional basketball player flaunted her flat tummy as the electronic dance music thumped.

FAMILY CONCERN

In addition to Angelina, Bianca's sister Alyssia is a nurse and has a son in Brisbane, Australia.

Bianca lived Down Under before she started working for Kanye's fashion brand Yeezy, in Los Angeles, in November 2020.

The Yeezy mogul secretly married Bianca in January 2023.

Bianca and her sisters were raised by their parents, Leo and Alexandra Censori, in the Ivanhoe neighborhood in Melbourne.

Bianca's style has changed since she married Kanye

In February, insiders told Daily Mail that Leo believed that the 46-year-old rapper turned his daughter into a "trashy commodity."

"Bianca's father Leo wants to have a proper sit down with Kanye and ask him what the hell he is thinking when he parades Bianca around like a trashy naked trophy pony," the source told the outlet.

CONCERNING PROJECTS?

Recently, Bianca's fans have also been begging her to leave Kanye after he revealed he was working on his own pornography studio which will be "like nothing we've ever seen before."

Kanye is collaborating with Stormy Daniels' ex-husband, Mike Moz, on the project.

The news was shared on Reddit along with an article speculating about whether Bianca would appear in the X-rated venture.

"You know, she really could leave. If it's support, the public would believe her, and I'd honestly be inclined to believe her side too," one fan wrote on the social media thread.

"There's time, Bianca. you can jump outta the ship," another added.

"What is happening here, why is this woman agreeing to do this? Someone help her," a third posted.
