IT was a court case that raged on for years, as #FreeBritney campaigners fought for pop superstar Britney Spears to be released from a legal arrangement that gave her little power over her own life.

But two and a half years after she was freed from her 13-year conservatorship, which had given her father Jamie control over her personal life and finances, there are major questions over whether throwing her back into the deep end of life without any help was the right thing to do.

Fans wave #FreeBritney placards but sources say the singer has no one looking out her now[/caption]

Since November 2021, the Toxic singer has been hit by disaster after disaster and things have gone from bad to worse.

Britney, 42, married third husband, actor Sam Asghari, 30, in June 2022, after they began dating in 2016.

But they split 13 months later amid allegations she attacked him as he slept and left him with a black eye and bite marks.

Then her sons Preston, 18, and Jayden, 17, moved to Hawaii with their dad Kevin Federline, 46, and publicly begged their mum to stop stripping off and dancing in videos posted on Instagram.

The pop favourite, who has sold more than 150million records, is now living an increasingly "dysfunctional and isolated" life according to sources in the US.

And there are concerns she is burning through her £50million fortune, splashing her cash on eye-wateringly expensive luxury holidays.

Yesterday, US gossip website TMZ claimed she has been spending millions of dollars on regular trips to French Polynesia every couple of months, blowing the money on private jets, luxury hotels and staff.

Then there have also been monthly trips to Hawaii, costing £280k a pop, where she stays in the presidential suite at the Four Seasons.

A source said: "There is no one looking after Britney.

"Her life is in freefall.

                    <!-- End of Brightcove Player -->  

"She has no focus and no one is telling her that she is at risk of flittering away all of the earnings she worked so hard for.

"She is living like there's no tomorrow."

There were allegations of financial mismanagement during her conservatorship.

She was forced to perform several lucrative tours and Las Vegas residencies, released four albums, appeared as a judge on the X Factor USA and launched a string of products but despite her heavy workload, the numbers did not add up to the huge sum she should have earned, while her father was paid £12,000 per month.

But the source continued: "Her finances were so tightly watched when she was in the conservatorship.

"There were times when she had to ask her backing dancers to pay for dinner and she was basically given meagre pocket money from her own accounts.

"Now it's like she's gone from one extreme to the other.

"It's worrying to think what could happen in just a few short years if she blows through her fortune."

Although the conservatorship was legally terminated in 2021, only last week did the legal wrangle over the intricacies finally come to an end.

It was decided she would have to pay £3.2million in fees to her lawyer Mathew Rosengart and a further £1.6 million for her father's legal costs.

But an emotional Britney hit out at her dad Jamie, 71, and mum Lynne, 68, who she has also had a rocky relationship with, claiming they ought to face "justice".

In a post on her Instagram page on Sunday night, before she deactivated her account yesterday, she wrote: "There has been no justice and probably never will be!

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

"The way I was brought up I was always taught the formative of right and wrong but the very two people who brought me up with that method hurt me!

"I am so lucky to be here!

"It's funny 'cus till this very day I haven't told them face to face!

"I text through IG but I honestly believe it will not be so safe if I ever did go face to face!"

Her lawyer Mathew seems to be one of the only people acting in her best interests, after deciding it would be better to end the legal battle with Jamie.

The Sun's insider said: "Britney told Mathew that she wanted justice and her day in court with her dad.

"She urged him to push the case that Jamie effectively stole money from her, while running the estate as her conservator but he has strongly denied any wrongdoing.

"Jamie's lawyers have had the right to make Britney sit in front of them for depositions about many of these matters — and it would cost many more millions.

"If that had happened, she would have been filmed answering hours of questions about the darkest times in her life including drug problems, mental health woes and personal dramas.

Singer Britney won back control of her finances and personal life from dad Jamie[/caption]

"Mathew's focus has been protecting his client."

However, the source, based in Las Vegas and who has worked with Britney for many years, stated: "Jamie has pretty much had all his expenditures examined by the LA Superior Court and signed off by a judge.

"The overarching observation is that Jamie saved Britney's finances from ruin.

"She was at one point down to £2.5million and he helped her to rise up to more than £50million."

While Britney has struggled since the conservatorship was terminated, many are convinced it was how she was treated during the arrangement which did irreparable damage.

During interviews in the UK in 2016 during a press tour for her ninth album Glory, she appeared present and witty.

A few years later it was a different story.

In early 2019, she pulled out of a Las Vegas residency and announced an indefinite hiatus from music.

One of Britney's erratic and worrying social media posts[/caption]

It is believed to have been axed after she refused to take medication and she was carted off to a live-in rehabilitation centre, leading fans to question where she was, having not been pictured for months.

At that point, she was forcibly given lithium to treat her bipolar disorder, as well as a cocktail of other prescription medications.

Speaking in court in 2021, she said: "Lithium is a very, very strong and completely different medication compared to what I was used to.

"You can go mentally impaired if you take too much, if you stay on it longer than five months. But he put me on that, and I felt drunk."

In summer 2021, Jamie's lawyers made it clear that much of her private health information had been kept a secret from the public as he tried to protect her.

Documents filed in court said: "There is no doubt that the Conservatorship saved Ms Spears from disaster, supported her when she needed it the most, protected her and her reputation from harm, and facilitated the restoration of her career."

But now she is out on her own, she appears far more erratic and vulnerable, with distrust for the system which was supposed to look after her.

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

It has also been more than two years since she has seen her sons, who did not attend her wedding to Sam.

Speaking in 2022, Jayden said of his relationship with his mum: "I 100 per cent think it can be fixed, of course.

"It's just going to take a lot of time and effort.

"I really want to see her again."

But about her social media, he added: "It's almost like she has to post something on Instagram to get attention.

"There's a high chance that this is never going to really stop, but I'm hoping for me, maybe she will."

There is once again a discussion over whether Britney could ever return to music.

Aside from one-off collaborations with Sir Elton John and Will.i.am, she has not released her own music in eight years.

Last year, her management started assembling a team to write for a new Britney album.

But after she got wind of the plan, she hit out online and said she had no ambition to ever return to pop.

Now there are fears she might have to do it because she needs the cash.

But the music industry is not an easy place to navigate and is quick to build people up and spit them right back out again.

What Britney needs right now is some proper TLC.

Her father clearly isn't the one to give it to her, but someone needs to step in.

BRITNEY Spears concerned fans after she uploaded a photo of Justin Bieber crying.

The 42-year-old uploaded a carousel of images on Monday night with little context and fans thought she could be hinting Justin is in trouble.

Fans thought Britney was hinting that Justin was in trouble[/caption]

Britney's post included ten photos in her Instagram collection, including her lying on top of a horse in a bikini.

In the middle of the post, she featured a close-up selfie of Justin as he cried.

In it, he wore a green hat and his facial hair looked unkempt.

"A wonderful dump of photos and videos as Sara my dog s**ts on us all!!! Have a nice day folks," Britney captioned the post.

The photo came from a recent post of Justin, where he posted the selfie after his friend and rapper Chris King was killed in a shooting.

While her comments were turned off, Britney's fans flocked to Reddit to discuss the post and theorize what it could mean.

"Britney Spears posts this photo of Justin crying in her last post. Why does this scare me more now?" someone captioned the discussion thread with a screenshot of Justin crying.

"Woah that's very weird/telling even for usual posts," added another.

"Britney is trying to spread awareness, showing us that JB is in trouble," wrote a third.

A few days before the photo, Britney also shared a video of herself dancing raunchily in the living room of her Los Angeles home.

                    <!-- End of Brightcove Player -->  

She donned a skin-tight nude dress which was cut short to expose her long legs.

She pulled her straps down and posed at the camera while Daddy Yankee and Luis Fonsi's track Despacito played.

Justin famously featured on this track in 2017 and reached huge chart success.

Britney's fan concern came after she appeared to have a turbulent week after a two-year court battle was settled.

TOUGH TIMES

Her legal battle with her father appeared was settled in court.

From 2008 to 2021, the pop music sensation was under a strict conservatorship, due to the series of public meltdowns, with her father.

    </div>  </div>  

Since her conservatorship was terminated in 2021, Jamie, 71, and Britney, 42, have still butted heads.

The dad-daughter duo was still in a fight regarding his legal fees and his management of her finances during the conservatorship.

Jamie was seeking approval from the court for more than $2 million for hiring lawyers during the 13-year conservatorship as well as his current lawyer's hefty bills.

In the end, Britney was ordered to pay her father's legal bills of more than $2 million, according to TMZ.

LONG before they were chasing Purple Irises, Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani were chasing other loves.

But after sharing past dramas in previous relationships, the couple has found a way to remain strong.

Blake, 47, and Gwen, 52, began dating in 2015 after meeting on the set of the NBC reality show The Voice.

Both were fresh out of lengthy failed marriages.

After a five-year relationship, the celebrity couple got engaged in 2020.

The Hollaback Girl singer announced their engagement on social media as she flashed her blinged-out hand while sharing a kiss with her hubby.

Shelton also shared the same picture on his Instagram, writing, "Hey Gwen, thanks for saving my 2020… And the rest of my life.. I love you. I heard a YES!"

Less than a year later, on July 3, 2021, the couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at Blake's Oklahoma ranch.

The two seem to have now found their forever loves, after leaving a trail of drama from past relationships behind them.

Blake was married twice before his current union with Gwen.

In 2003, he married his high school sweetheart, Kaynette Williams, 51. The two met as teenagers in their hometown of Ada, Oklahoma.

The two shared their "I do's" at a small ceremony in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

                    <!-- End of Brightcove Player -->  

"I knew Kaynette was the one," Blake previously told Country Weekly, before confessing he couldn't explain why. "I can't say it's because we get along or because of the way she looks. It's just something I feel – you know what I mean? It's nothing more than just knowing you're right."

However, just three years later, Blake and Kaynette would divorce, after his affair with singer Miranda Lambert was exposed.

Kaynette, who once worked as Blake's tour manager, moved to Kansas and became a math teacher.

She is now married to rodeo champion Cody Joe Scheck.

Blake was still married to his first wife when he recorded a duet with fellow country star Miranda Lambert.

She was engaged at the time to country singer Jeff Allen McManus, but the chemistry between her and Blake was instant.

"I knew he was married," Miranda, 40, confessed in 2011. "I knew better. Like, this is off-limits.

"I didn't know what to do with it. It was, like, my first duet with some other country star, and I didn't know if it was just initial butterflies because of that. I don't know what it was. It was just this draw to each other."

"I've never had that kind of experience with anybody," Blake revealed during an episode of VH1's Behind the Music. "I was a married guy, you know? Standing up there and singing with somebody and going, 'Man, this shouldn't be happening.'"

But it did, and the two married in May 2011 in Boerne, Texas.

However, it was a rocky relationship, with each facing accusations of infidelity.

By 2015, the two divorced, and Blake moved on with Gwen.

Gwen has found love in the music world multiple times – even with her own bandmates.

The lead singer previously dated her No Doubt bandmate, Tony Kanal, from 1987 to 1994.

She has remained close with the now 53-year-old and recently reunited with him, guitarist Tom Dumont, and drummer Adrian Young to perform at Coachella.

In the wake of the reunion news, Gwen revealed she had to explain her romance with Tony to her youngest son, Apollo.

"I had to literally lay in bed with Apollo and he's like, 'But mom, what is Coachella? Everyone's saying it. What is this? It sounds like it's a big deal,'" she told People.

"So we had to watch the Don't Speak video, and he's like, 'But wait, which one was your boyfriend?'

"It was so weird and so funny. I literally had to tell him each band member."

Gwen has three sons – Kingston, 17; Zuma, 15; and Apollo, 10 – with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale.

She married the rock band Bush's lead singer in 2002, however, they split in 2015 amid rumors that Gavin had been cheating on Gwen with their nanny, Mindy Mann.

While Gavin has kept quiet about their divorce, he recently opened up about feeling "shameful" on the most recent episode of the Amy & TJ podcast.

"I never thought I'd ever get divorced. So there's a simple shame in my life," he said.

"I feel bad for my kids, that's it," Gavin further explained.

"I wish I could have found a way to not have that in their lives. It wasn't fun for me to come from a broken home… It can be quite debilitating for kids… the overriding things is you don't want to let your kids down." 

"The biggest thing would be when you see the kids that sometimes there's a loss. It'd be nice if there was more of a connection with the person who made them with me," he added.

BILLY Joel fans have praised the star for still singing his iconic song Uptown Girl to his ex-wife Christie Brinkley despite their split 30 years ago.

The celebrity couple called it quits in April 1994 after nine years of marriage.

Billy originally wrote the song about Christie[/caption]

But that seemingly hasn't ruined their relationship as both co-parents and friends.

Billy, 74, still belted his iconic song Uptown Girl to Christie, 70, during his performance at Madison Square Garden on April 26.

The Piano Man singer hit the stage during his record-breaking run at the New York City venue.

Despite their split decades ago, the songwriter paid tribute to the mother of his daughter Alexa Ray, 38, while singing the fan-favorite song.

As Billy belted the chorus of the track to a crowd of nearly 20,000 people, cameras caught Christie smiling and dancing in the crowd.

Fans cheered after noticing that the supermodel was in attendance and enjoying the song which was originally written on her behalf.

Several took to social media where they re-shared the clip, one gushing that he is the "greatest of all time."

UPTOWN GIRLS

In a 2010 conversation with radio DJ Howard Stern, the New York native revealed that the song was originally titled Uptown Girl(s).

The track referenced when Billy was surrounded by several women, his girlfriend at the time Elle Macpherson, Whitney Houston, and Christie.

Uptown Girl was originally written about his relationship with Elle, but it ended up focusing on the Sports Illustrated model instead.

                    <!-- End of Brightcove Player -->  

Later, he said, "The fact that I can attract such a beautiful woman as Christie should give hope to every ugly guy in the world!"

Musically, Billy noted that the production of the song was inspired by the classic style of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.

CELEBRITY ROMANCE

The model and musician met in 1983 on the island of St. Barts in the Caribbean.

Two years later, they tied the knot on a yacht on the Hudson River, which was the second marriage for both of them.

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

Their daughter, Alexa, was born on December 29, 1985, eight months after the wedding.

In April 1994, Billy and Christie officially called it quits after five months of separation.

Their divorce was attributed to several factors, including the supermodel's wish to relocate to the West Coast from New York, and the difficulties associated with his tour schedule.

The exes have remained close friends throughout the years, though, as they've raised their daughter together.

RELATIONSHIP WOES

The same year the divorce was finalized, Christie married Real estate entrepreneur Richard Taubman.

But their relationship was short-lived and they split just one year later in 1995.

Immediately after, the supermodel tied the knot again, this time with architect Peter Cook.

Their marriage lasted until 2008 when they filed for divorce.

Meanwhile, Billy waited until 2004 to remarry post-divorce from Christie, when he said "I do" to author Katie Lee.

But they called it quits only five years later in 2009.

In 2015, the iconic singer married once again, this time to equestrian Alexis Roderick, a woman 33 years younger.

ANOTHER CHANCE AT LOVE?

In January, Christie opened up about her thoughts on dating in her 70s, to which she complained that the options are limited.

Despite saying that she "remains open" to the idea, "there just doesn't seem to be anybody out there," she told People.

"At the same time, I am pretty comfortable with my life the way it is, so, que será, será!" she added.

"I always said my whole life that I think that you have to be happy alone so that you get with a man for the right reasons and you're not clinging to him because you need to, you know?"

The swimsuit model's last relationship was with singer John Mellencamp, but the couple called it quits in 2020 after a year of dating.

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.

If you're inspired by the French girl chic style of Françoise Sagan and Jean Seberg — Celine has the parfait new fragrance for you. Joining the House's esteemed Haute Parfumerie collection is ZOUZOU: another scent for the now 12-piece line-up, which has both "for the day" and "for the evening" fragrances. Inspired by the joie de vivre of '60s icons, creative director Hedi Slimane distills the "fresh-faced and mischievous-looking" characters from film and literature — those that atypically have pixie haircuts and beaming pouts. The particular name, ZOUZOU, recalling the affectionate nickname formerly given to young Parisian girls with short hair.

With notes of amber and musk, the parfum offers a sweet caramel allure — think a warm and deliciously inviting French boulangerie — which are enveloped with Benzoin and Tonka Bean. Meanwhile, Patchouli and Labdanum underline the ambery and elegant character of the accord, with Celine's distinct powdery note also running through the Francophile scent. Just throw on your ballet flats, capris and breton stripes — and you'll be whisked away to the Marais with just light ZOUZOU spray.

The most memorable Met Gala looks of all time | V0A9GS9 | 2024-04-30 14:08:01



WHERE THE OSCARS follows film and the Grammys glorify music — it's the Met Gala where fashion, in all forms, is stylishly celebrated.

No train is too long (think Rihanna's gold Guo Pei gown), no headpiece is too gaudy — remember Sarah Jessica Parker's flaming hat that sparked a million memes? — and wearing more than one ostentatious outfit is actively encouraged. Simply cast your mind back to Lady Gaga in 2019 where she changed ensembles four times for the Camp: Notes on Fashion theme.

There's truly never been a dull Met Gala moment. And it's likely this year's event will bring plenty more memorable moments, as the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Benefit returns to its traditional date of the first Monday of May.

But until the haute couture event, here's a look back at some of the most memorable Met Gala outfits — which certifiably stopped Manhattan traffic.
