In Britney Spears' latest Instagram post, she shared that her family was "holding me against my will" when they checked her into a facility for four months, noting it "amplified my depression by 100." She pointed out that you "don't take people out of their homes for that," adding, "The people who worked for me stood at the doors saying I couldn't go anywhere… I honestly thought they were trying to kill me." She said the whole thing felt like a "sick joke," and after two weeks she asked to go home but was told, "you can come and go when we tell you." Britney also made a strange claim that she was forced to sit in a chair eight hours a day and give "like 8 gallons of blood every week."
Snowboarder Shaun White just missed the podium during his final Olympic appearance, ending his career not quite as he had hoped. The 35-year-old finished his halfpipe final in fourth after a fall in his second trick at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. Still, his Olympic career ends with three gold medals. On top of that, he holds the world record for the most X-Games gold medals, most Olympic gold medals by a snowboarder, and 10 ESPY Awards throughout his career, among other honors.

Kevin Hart's 17-months-old daughter knows a few words, "dada" being one of them, but one of her favorites is "s***." During yesterday's appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," Kevin admitted she learned that one from him. By the way, remember I told you about someone gifting Nick Cannon a vending machine full of condoms? Turns out that was Kevin. The joke didn't go over well with Nick's baby mamas until they found out that it was from Kevin. Kevin's goal – to complicate Nick's day –was accomplished.

This cannot be true… The casting director for the "Golden Girls," Joel Thurm, said Betty White may have been loved by so many, but supposedly not by some of her castmates, according to The Originals. He shared, "Literally Bea Arthur (Dorothy), who I cast in something else later on, just said, 'Oh, she's a f***ing c***.' I heard it with my own ears." Joel also said that, Rue McClanahan (Blanche), also used the same word in reference to Betty. Why was there so much tension? Joel had some examples to share. For one, Estelle Getty (Sophia) was losing her memory and needed some help remembering lines. He said, "She would write the lines on her hand. Betty White would make fun of her in front of the live audience ...
That may seem like a minor transgression, but it really does get to you ... I have no idea how Estelle Getty felt, but I know the other two did not like [Betty] at all." We're going to dig deeper into this…
As one of TikTok's top creators, it's unusual for Charli D'Amelio to have anything less than a few million views on all of her videos.
However, some of her most recent views have a grand total of zero, and some aren't even being posted. These are clear signs that Charli's been "shadowbanned." Shadowbanned is when a user still has access to their account but cannot post content. Charli tweeted in response to the situation with a screenshot of her TikTok profile: "why? tiktok am i grounded?" Although a shadowban is most likely the case for D'Amelio it's unclear why it happened – especially to the platform's highest-earning creator.
Robert Pattinson is letting audiences know that his version of Batman will be very different from what fans are used to seeing of the DC Comics superhero. Robert told GQ, "He's kind of a weirdo as Bruce [Wayne] and a weirdo as Batman," adding that Bruce has had "a bit of a breakdown" considering he's two years into being Batman and the crime in Gotham has only gotten worse. He also noted, "It's a sad movie. It's kind of about him trying to find some element of hope, in himself, and not just the city." If this is supposed to press to get me to watch the movie, it's definitely not going in that direction.
As we told you, Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige and Eminem are set to headline the Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime show Sunday, and it seems producers really don't want the set list to get out. According to TMZ, with several residential neighborhoods around SoFi Stadium, organizers are going to extreme lengths to make sure anyone around the venue can't hear rehearsals. To that end, they are blaring songs by Bon Jovi, and Red Hot Chili Peppers over the speakers to drown out what's actually being rehearsed. Unfortunately, those living around the stadium aren't thrilled with the music since rehearsals have been going on late into the evening. Guess they're not Bon Jovi fans.

Kanye West is threatening to pull out of the Coachella music festival if Billie Eilish doesn't apologize to Travis Scott. Ye wrote, "APOLOGIZE TO TRAV AND TO THE FAMILIES OF THE PEOPLE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES," referring to the ten people who died at the Astroworld concert. Last week, we told you Billie stopped her concert in Atlanta to make sure a fan near the front row was okay, and she said, "I wait for people to be okay before I keep going." Ye added, "TRAV DIDN'T HAVE ANY IDEA OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING WHEN HE WAS ON STAGE AND WAS VERY HURT BY WHAT HAPPENED." Billie has just responded to Kanye, according to TMZ, writing, "literally never said a thing about travis. was just helping a fan." I can almost her Taylor Swift slow-clapping her support for Billie. John Mayer also stopped down his concert for a fan in need – I wonder if Ye will have something to say about that one too.
Wells Fargo has appealed to the courts to get a guardianship in place for Wendy Williams because they've allegedly seen signs that she might be a victim of undue influence and financial exploitation. The move comes after Wendy's lawyer, Celeste N McCaw, filed an emergency petition last week claiming that the bank had denied access to Wendy's accounts, assets, and statements for more than two weeks. And all that happened after her former financial advisor, Lori Schiller, claimed that Wendy was "of unsound mind." Celeste said in court documents that Wendy had fired Lori but admitted Wendy still relies on Lori for advice. A spokesperson for Wells Fargo said in a statement, "We deny any allegations of improper actions with respect to Ms. Williams' accounts and are fully participating in a court process to reach a resolution that is in her best interest. The financial well-being of our clients is at the heart of everything we do." Meanwhile, Wendy's reps have had nothing to say.

At the Brit Awards on Tuesday, Adele had everyone wondering if she was secretly engaged to NBA super agent Rich Paul because of the giant pear-shaped diamond ring she was flaunting. It turns out Adele borrowed the pear-shaped ring and earrings from Lorraine Schwartz to put the finishing touches on her red-carpet look. And I'm sure it's always a little fun messing with your fans.
