As we told you, a judge officially ended Britney Spears conservatorship Friday, and she spent the weekend celebrating. She shared on Instagram, "What an amazing weekend … I felt like I was on cloud 9 the whole time ☁️ !!! I actually got my first glass of champagne 🥂 at the most beautiful restaurant I've ever seen last night !!!! I'm celebrating my freedom and my B day for the next two months !!!!!!!!!!!" I mean after 13 years … I think I've waited long ENOUGH !!!!" Brit also thanked her lawyer Matthew Rosengart for coming into her life, writing, "He has truly turned my life around. I'm forever thankful for that !!!!" Finally, to her fans she shared, "What a sight seeing so many people celebrating my victory …. I love my fans so much … so thank you 🌹 !!!!" In the meantime, TMZ reports that her personal conservator, Jodi Montgomery, and others filed a "termination plan" with the court, which includes guidelines "for supportive decision-making to help [Britney] adjust and transition to life outside of the conservatorship." But Jodi wants to make sure that information is only given to parties who need it, like the judge and her lawyer, and not her father Jamie Spears.
Travis Scott's latest Nike collaboration has been shelved. Apparently, the sneaker company has decided to postpone the release of the "Air Max 1 x Cactus Jack" in the wake of the tragedy at the Astroworld Festival. The kicks were slated to drop on December 16th, but it was announced last night that it wouldn't happen. Nike said in a statement, "Out of respect for everyone impacted by the tragic events at the Astroworld Festival, we are postponing the launch of the Air Max 1 x Cactus Jack." This news comes after nine-year-old Ezra Blount became the 10th victim of the tragedy. In addition, the Houston Rockets scrapped "Travis Scott Night" and replaced it with a moment of silence for the victims. And Fortnite removed his emote (E moat) from the game, according to TMZ.
We told you before that Disney's Black "Panther: Wakanda Forever" was on hold with its star, Letitia Wright (Shuri, the sister of Black Panther T'Challa), healed from an injury, but that may not be entirely true. It was recently reported that Letitia wouldn't be available to continue filming until the new year, even though it was initially reported that her accident on set in Boston wasn't that bad. But now, sources are saying that the real issue is that Letitia isn't vaccinated, and she can't come back to the states because of it. After the injury in August, Letitia went home to London. The problem is, on November 8th, the CDC stated all non-immigrant, non-citizen air travelers to the U.S. have to be fully vaccinated and provide proof of vaccination status before boarding a plane.
On yesterday's episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell played a game where they had to answer questions about each other in just five seconds. Kristen was first asked to name three of her husband's "man crushes." She quickly named Brad Pitt and race car driver Daniel Ricciardo but could not come up with a third. Dax helped her out, saying it was fitness trainer Charlie "Perfect 10" Curtis, adding, "He's who I'm trying to become." As for Kristen's crushes, Dax named Peter Dinklage from "Game of Thrones," Vincent D'Onofrio of "Law & Order" and rapper T.I. Eclectic tastes, for sure.

While most Taylor Swift fans are upset with Jake Gyllenhaal this week, following the release of "Red (Taylor's Version)," some still can't forgive John Mayer for his short-lived romance with Taylor. Over the weekend, one Taylor fan DM'd John with a nasty message, which ended with, "I hope you choke on something." John replied, "I've been getting so many messages like these the past couple days. not upset, I just tend to have a curious mind and feel compelled to ask. Do you really hope that I die?" The fan apologized to John saying she wrote that on a dare and didn't think he'd even see the message, but John replied, "So it's a fun thing people are doing without taking into account that I might see it and be affected by it? It's 100 percent OK. Go forth and live happy and healthy!" Read more with Us Weekly. One more thing - Dionne Warwick still can't shake the Jake thing. She tweeted, "If that young man has Taylor's scarf, he should return it." She went on to say, "It doesn't belong to you. Box it up and I will pay the cost of postage, Jake."
Lin-Manuel Miranda is not here for your cancel culture. He's no stranger to criticism – he got slammed over the lack of Afro-Latino representation in his musical film, "In The Heights" – but the way he sees it, "It's not cancellation. That's having opinions. So I try to take it in that spirit. I have learned lessons from the reception of my work, good, bad and indifferent. You try to take all of it, and whatever sticks to your gut is what you bring with you to your next project." Lin-Manuel told The New Yorker, "If you get yourself into a place of fear, of 'What are people going to say about what I write?,' you're f***ed. It's over. And that's a place I have to really push past now in a different way. At the end of the day, you can't control how the world receives something." He went on to say, "All you can control is what your intentions were. And, if it closes in a night, those six years don't feel like wasted time, because you learned from it and you put everything you had into it."
As Chris Daughtry and his family grieve over the loss of Chris' daughter, Hannah, prosecutors in the investigation say they are not classifying it as a homicide investigation yet, saying, "This is a death investigation and any attempt to classify it as a homicide investigation at this time is premature and irresponsible," according to TMZ. Initially, it was reported that detectives told the family Hannah's death was a homicide.

Paris Hilton's new husband, Carter Reum, has a 9-year-old daughter, but it doesn't sound like Paris will have much of a role as a stepmom. Carter's rep said in a statement, "Carter supports this child. While he does not have a traditional father-daughter relationship with her, he has provided for her since she was born, and will continue to do so." According to Page Six, the mother of his daughter is Mel Gibson's ex-girlfriend, Laura Bellizzi. Her pregnancy became public only months after her brief relationship with Mel ended. So soon, in fact, Mel publically announced the baby wasn't his.
Kobe Bryant's widow Vanessa Bryant has been ordered to turn over medical records to L.A. County since she is the one who pressed the issue of her "emotional distress" over photos taken of Kobe at the crash site. Vanessa had cited doctor-patient privilege in regards to her visits with a psychotherapist, but the judge ruled the medical records were relevant in determining if her trauma was caused by the alleged photo leak or the helicopter crash itself, according to TMZ.
"Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Lisa Rinna shared that her 93-year-old mother, Lois, who has appeared on show, had suffered another stroke and passed away yesterday morning.

"Dancing with the Stars" executives are allegedly blind as to why the ratings have been low for season 30. According to a new report from The Sun, the higher-ups believe the bad ratings are because of this season's cast when in fact many others believe it's the host, Tyra Banks, causing the show to lose viewers. An insider revealed that producers are "too scared" to address the real problem, because they're the ones who brought Tyra in, and others involved in the show are afraid to speak up because they're afraid to lose their jobs.
Jennifer Love Hewitt has apologized to fans of season 5 of "9-1-1," but it has nothing to do with her character's absence from the show. Last week, Jennifer said she saw a TikTok explaining the "real" meaning behind an emoji she's apparently been using wrong this whole time. She said on Instagram, "Guys, I can't even talk about what I've just recently learned…I thought those were prayer hands. I have, for a very long time, been sending those to people when I pray for them." According to the TikTok, and many others, the emoji is supposed to be two hands high-fiving. Jennifer added: "I did not know and so, this is a public apology to all the people that I have sent what I thought were praying hands to, to say I'm with you. I'm praying for you and your loved ones or your friends or your family or for all of us, sending goodness and all of that, and I have actually been high-fiving you the whole time. I'm so sorry. I'm 195 years old. I didn't know!" I'm pretty sure her fans would figure it out based on the context. Now I have to go look up every emoji I've ever used because I'm pretty sure I've been messing some up too.
