Britney Spears has been very open with her fans lately, and in a recent Instagram post, she told fans she would much rather be dancing from her living room than on stage in Vegas. Britney also mentioned how she doesn't like that documentaries about her that bring up painful memories from the past, and she also opened up about a time when her sister took part in a tribute performance to her on stage at the Radio Disney Music Awards when Britney received in the first ever icon award. When I say open up, I mean openly slammed her sister for performing her music. She wrote, "I don't like that my sister showed up at an awards show and performed MY SONGS to remixes!!!!! My so-called support system hurt me deeply!!!! This conservatorship killed my dreams…" She didn't have anything to say about the other artists who were performing her music during the tribute – Kelsea Ballerini, Hailee Steinfeld, and Sofia Carson – just Jamie Lynn.

"Songland" season two winner Greg Scott wants to know why NBC dumped his song "Miracle" as the Olympics anthem, going instead it with the Jonas Brothers song "Remember This." Granted, they did use Greg's song in a commercial last year promoting the Olympics being moved to 2021, but he still believed his song was going to be used as the anthem for the games this year. Greg thinks maybe NBC gave the Jonas Brothers the opportunity instead because they have a new reality show on the network. Read more with TMZ.com.

The legitimacy of Angelina Jolie's adoption of her 19-year-old son Maddox is coming into question in a brand new documentary, according to radaronline.com. Filmmaker Elizabeth Jacobs is launching a project investigating the woman behind several alleged "unethical" Cambodian adoptions, Lauryn Galindo, the same woman Angelina went through to adopt her son Maddox.

Cambodia child welfare workers have said in the past that they believe Maddox may have been sold by his birth mother for $100. Angelina has denied this accusation.
Britney Spears has a message for the people who have just come forward to support her; "There's nothing worse than when the people closest to you who never showed up for you post things in regard to your situation whatever it may be and speak righteously for support. How dare the people you love the most say anything at all … did they even put a hand out to even lift me up at the TIME!!!??? How dare you make it public that NOW you CARE … did you put your hand out when I was drowning ????" It sounded like it was directed specifically at her family, especially since after her sister Jamie Lynn posted a cryptic tweet that read "may the peace of the lord be with you and your spirit," possibly aimed at Britney's Insta posts, Britney shot back, "May the Lord wrap your mean ass up in joy today ...." next to a video of her dancing.

"Space Jam: A New Legacy" finally hit theaters over the weekend, and managed to steal the top spot at the box office from Marvel's record-breaking "Black Widow," which fell to the second spot, although only by a few million. "Space Jam" brought in $31.7 million while "Black Widow" made another $26.3 million this weekend, bringing its 10-day box office haul to $132 million.
There were some other debuts this weekend, like "Escape Room" which made the third spot. Of course, it's important you go with your gut and never trust the numbers, something I wish I'd known when "Wonder Woman '84" was released. Still not over that disaster yet…
