Britney Spears: I’m in Charge of My Own Social Media!

There have been a lot of questions lately about the level of Britney Spears' personal freedom under her father's conservatorship. One major point of contention among fans and the Free Britney movement is the widely held belief that she can't even make her own social media posts. On Tuesday, Britney took to Instagram with a video to shut down that rumor for good. … Maybe. Britney shared a video of herself modeling clothing, posing, dancing, and listening to Rihanna's “Man Down” at home. She follows that fun video with a selfie in an off-the-shoulder white blouse, and then with a shorter video, which we have included in this post. “For those of you who don't think I post my own videos,” Britney begins her new video. “I did this video yesterday,” she says, referring to the glimpse at her dancing. “So you're wrong,” Britney says gently. “But I hope you like it.” This news comes as such a relief to her fans! For years, and especially for these last few months, it has been circulated that Britney does not make her own social media posts. Many fear that she cannot even access her own accounts — that it's all “handled.” In fact, it is still widely believed that Britney's conservatorship includes a stipulation that she not have her own phone. It's certainly wonderful to hear Britney, in her own voice, assure fans that she gets to post her own media. … Or is it? There are still real fears that, due to the power that her father wields over her life, Britney might be encouraged to make statements like this against her will. We all know that celebrities can make statements that they don't really mean. (Just look at Game of Thrones actors telling various cameras that Season 8 is great; it's like a compilation of hostage videos) Did her father instruct her to make this video to throw her own supporters off of the scent? Or, worse, is this Britney quashing rumors (or trumors) about herself in a desperate bid to prove that she can make her own life choices? But let's take a step back from worries, doubts, and conspiracy theories for a moment. If we don't know the truth, doesn't it make a little more sense to err on the side of believing the words that Britney says with her own voice? As we have mentioned before, she has a lot of loved ones who would happily go to bat for her if she asked them to. If he sister or her boyfriend gives an interview about how she's being “held against her will” or whatever, we'd be the first to cry “Free Britney!” But until then, the simplest thing is to believe Britney's own words over rumors and suspicions. Instead of worrying about what is, for the moment, unknowable, let's look on the bright side. Britney is alive, healthy, and beautiful. There are also unconfirmed rumors that Britney is planning to surprise fans with a comeback single in just a few days. She has two amazing, talented sons. She also has an unnecessarily handsome boyfriend, Sam Asghari. There are some very valid concerns about Britney's conservatorship, which has dragged on for 11 long years. Did you know that it was initially only supposed to last for a few days? While we don't advocate harassing Britney or treating her like a meme, we don't think that a little scrutiny of the conservatorship would hurt. There are a lot of people saying that, even if Britney needs a conservatorship for whatever reason, her father is not the best person to maintain it. Hopefully, her loved ones and the courts will make sure that all of the power rests with the right people.

Jill Duggar is Clearly Pregnant Because, Come On, Just Look at This Photo

As the old adage goes, sometimes a picture is worth 1,000 words. Other times, however, a picture can best be described by four words, organized in question form: Is the subject pregnant?!? And this is one of those times. On Thursday, Jill Duggar shared a photo of herself doing some shopping. Advertising for the store at which she did said shopping, the reality star wrote as a caption: @3130clothing. Stopped by my cousin’s shop for some adorable stuff!!! I’m gonna be posting pics the next few days, but go ahead and swipe to see one of the cute outfits and get the 20% off code!!! Sorry, no. Duggar didn’t actually make a pregnancy announcement alongside the photo. Sorry if we got your hopes up there. However, as you can see down below, Jill did place her shopping bag in front of her stomach — which is pretty much the same thing, right? Yes, apparently, it is… in the minds of hopeful Jill Duggar followers. “I think someone’s pregnant,” one user wrote, while another posed the questions on the minds of at least a half dozen individuals: “Hiding a bump?” A third chimed in as follows: “I think we might be hearing about one more Duggar expecting, due in 2020.” Here’s the thing, however: People also thought Duggar was pregnant back in February based on a different image she shared. And then they thought she was pregnant just a few weeks ago based on a different photo someone else shared . The Internet’s track record of guessing when Jill Duggar is expecting a child is spotty at best. And here’s another thing: If Jill really did have a baby bump, why would she hide it? If there’s one thing we know about members of this family, it’s that they love nothing more than announcing to the world that they’re expecting. Over the past few months alone, Amy Duggar, Jesse Duggar, Kendra Caldwell, Anna Duggar and Lauren Swanson have ALL proudly made this proclamations. If Jill really did have a baby bump she could show off (or hide), that would mean she’s most likely into her second trimester, long past the point where she could have announced this blessed news to the world. That’s simply our take on the rumor. Jill and husband Derick Dillard already have two kids: Israel, 3, and Samuel, 1. This doesn’t mean they won’t have more someday, of course. Take note of Jill’s last name. She may have anywhere from 4-12 more. There just won’t beed a need to speculate on when this will happen, that’s all we’re saying here. If there’s one thing we can count on from the Duggars, and there really is basically one thing we can count on from the Duggars, it’s that they’ll get pregnant and alert the world to this fact as soon as humanly possible.

Kanye West: Waaah, Liberals Are SUCH Bullies!

Kanye West is a new father . However, in an interview with David Letterman, the famous rapper goes off once again about those who disagree with his poltiics, basically labeling Liberals as bitter motherf-ckers. West, of course, is an unabashed Donald Trump supporter . He loves to wear his Make America Great Again and he held court in the Oval Office several months ago. Kanye has come under fire for these beliefs from critics who think President Trump is a narcissistic, dumb racist — and he’s very annoyed about it! “This is like my thing with Trump — we don’t have to feel the same way, but we have the right to feel what we feel,” West tells Letterman in a chat that will debut on Netflix on May 31. He goes on to say that rocking a “Make America Great Again” hat is “not about politics,” but rather an attempt to break the stigma around showing support for Trump. There’s an odd hill to wanna die on, right? In the discussion, Letterman brings up the Republican-led voter suppression efforts during the recent midterm elections. “So if I see a person that I admire talking about Donald Trump can think whatever he does,” he says, “I wonder if those thoughts, indirectly, aren’t hurting people who are already being hurt.” In other words: Donald Trump’s policies are having a harmful effect on African-Americans. Doesn’t Kanye realize that his support is therefore contributing to this pain and suffering? West ignores this question and replies that Trump voters are “treated like enemies of America because that’s what they felt.” After Letterman makes a case that Trump actually is not helping those who vote for him, that it’s just one giant con perpertrated by the President, West shoots back: “Have you ever been beat up in your high school for wearing the wrong hat?” Simply put, he adds: “Liberals bully people who are Trump supporters!” It really is pretty sad. All those Trump supporters want to do is deport foreigners, take away the rights of LGBTQ members and cheer on corruption at the highest level in peace. Give them a break, Liberals! Leave them alone! Elsewhere, Kanye brings up his issues with Drake at one point, although he refuses to mention the artist by name. We had a little beef last year,” West tells the comedian. “He has this line that I love that says, ‘I told my story and made history’ – like made his story and made history. That’s what we do, we tell our story and then people relate to that story.” Continues Kanye, sort of on this topic: “I have a friend who told me that my power is my influence. And I said my power is my ability to not be influenced.” We’re not totally sure what Kanye is talking about here, either. But check out excerpts from the interview below: My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman: Season 2 Trailer

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 12 Salaries: REVEALED!

The Real Housewives of Atlanta is the highest rated reality show on Bravo. Its ratings actually put all other related franchise — from Orange County to New Jersey to New York – to shame. Therefore, despite Season 11 only just ending a couple weeks ago at the time of this writing, there's no doubt that Season 12 is on the way. But while it's too early to know what sort of storylines the writers will come up with for episodes next year, it's actually not too early to know how much various cast members will be paid for following these dramatic arcs. Indeed, Radar Online has obtained the salary information for all returning Housewives . Scroll down to see who is taking a huge pay cut and which of these women is about to make some serious bank… 1. Who’s Staying and Who’s Going? This information will also be revealed as you read on… 2. Shamari DeVoe Shamari DeVoe made $250,000 for Season 11. She will not return as a full-time cast member on Season 12, but will make the occasional cameo. 3. Tanya Sam Tanya Sam will receive a raise from her inaugural season, earning $150,000 for Season 12 after making just $100,000 her first season. 4. Marlo Hampton Marlo Hampton earned a whopping $275,000 on Season 11 and will reportedly receive a bump to $300,000 for Season 12. 5. Eva Marcille Not shabby here, either: Eva Marcille spent a ton on her lavish wedding, but she’ll be going from $250,000 per season to $275,000 per season and this should help offset those costs. 6. Kenya Moore Wait… Kenya Moore?!? Yup, she got the boot after Season 10 for running off and getting married without telling Bravo and having it filmed for the show. But she’ll be back on Season 12, Radar claims. View Slideshow

Austen Kroll: Southern Charm Star Explains Video of Fight With Girlfriend

Recently, there has been so much drama about disgraced has-been Thomas Ravenel that the rest of Southern Charm took a back seat. No longer — because the show is back, and Austen Kroll has a brand new girlfriend, Madison Lecroy. Which means that he is finally explaining his huge, viral, naked argument with her that was caught on video. You may remember it or you may have missed it entirely, but Austen Kroll went a little viral last year. In a short video, which we have included for your convenience, he and girlfriend Madison Lecroy were in a very heated argument. Apparently she had stopped by to find two women asleep at his home. He, too, was asleep, because it was, in his words, “seven-f–king-thirty in the morning.” Madison was furious, asking the women if they had “f–ked him last night.” She received a firm “no.” “So then why are your panties lying by the bed?!” Madison demanded to know. Austen explained, impatiently, that it was because they'd slept over. Now that Southern Charm fans have “met” Madison, Austen Kroll explained the humiliating spat to Entertainment Tonight . “So,” Austen says. “I guess what I can say is that was very early on [in our relationship],”  “[That was] Madison and I trying to figure out what we were,” he explains. “We both hadn’t done the, you know, 'you’re my girlfriend, and you’re my boyfriend' talk, right?” Austen continues. “We definitely were both trying to push it,” he descries. “To see how much the other person cared.” “'I’m going to go out tonight and I’m not going to talk to her. See if that bothers her,' or vice versa,” Austen shares. “And so, we had this talk, right?” Austen continues. “Because she was talking about the fact that her ex, like, wouldn’t leave her alone.” “You tell me to leave you alone and I will never — I’m gone,” he promises. Hey, that's a good thing. “And, we kind of had one of those moments,” he says, alluding to a quasi-breakup. “I was like, fine, fine.” “So,” Austen continues. “I busied myself and it didn’t turn out so well.”  “Because she showed up the next day,” he recalls. “And was like, 'Wait! I want to talk things over.'” So when she showed up around dawn to chastise him about two women sleeping over, he says his thought was “s–t.” “I was out of my mind,” Austen admits. “I knew that coming into this season,” he continues. “That it wasn’t going to be an easy ride.” “It wasn’t going to be easy going,” he adds. “So, I kind of just prepared the both of us.” “Because we can control, I guess, what we talk about,” Austen reasons. “But I can’t control what [our co-stars are] saying behind our back to whoever out there.” Austen has a very realistic view of how reality stars and new TV couples are regarded. “It’s not going to be like, 'Oh! Austen and Madison are wonderful,' you know?” he acknowledges. “And, 'They’re just so cute together, I love them.'” “I was like, we’re gonna be getting trashed for a little bit,” he recalls having warned Madison. “So that’s something that, if you want to be with somebody, then you just got to work through it as best you can,” he explains. “And it works out sometimes,” he concludes. “And sometimes it doesn’t.” All of that is bonkers — from the bizarre approach to dating to the fact that their fight was sneakily recorded. But apparently it worked, because it's a year later and they're still together. Wild. Check out the video in question below if you missed it.

Lamar Odom: I Used a Prosthetic Dong to Cheat at the Olympics!

Lamar Odom is back in the news this week, and folks, we’re all better off for it. Odom has a new memoir coming out, and in order to promote the book, he’s been sharing previously-unknown revelations about his wild life and times. We’ve known for quite some time that Odom engaged in all manner of bad behavior off the court, but it turns out his downward spiral was more severe than most of us realized. In the book, Odom confirms that he was a coked-up wild man during his marriage to Khloe Kardashian . The drug use has been well-documented — Odom nearly died from an overdose  in 2015 — but it turns out Lamar’s cheating was just as extreme. Odom claims he’s slept with 2,000 women in his life, and while those aren’t quite Wilt Chamberlain numbers, we’re hoping poor Khloe has been thoroughly tested since ending that disastrous marriage. So obviously, Lamar had trouble keeping it in his pants — but it turns out his penis problems don’t end there. Odom was named to the 2004 US Olympic basketball team, and in the book, he calls his selection “one of the biggest honors in my career.” However, “the joy of being named to the twelve-man roster quickly turned to anxiety when Olympic officials informed me that I would have to pass a drug test before officially joining the team,” he writes. Odom says he was “smoking weed every day that summer” and knew he could never pass a urine test the old-fashioned way — and so, he got creative. “We started googling ‘fake penises’ and studied different ways to beat a drug test,” Odom writes While he says he “was paranoid it wouldn’t work” going into the test, the fraudulent dong apparently did the trick. “(An official) stuck a thermometer in the cup to gauge the temperature … satisfied that the pee was mine, said ‘Welcome to Team USA,’ ” Odom writes. The US team went on to deliver a disappointing performance that year, earning a bronze medal after suffering a shocking loss to Argentina. (No shame in a bronze, but when you have freakin’ Lebron on your team …) But Odom learned a valuable lesson that obviously stuck with him for several years afterward:  No one really wants to take out a magnifying glass and examine your privates, so they’ll mostly just believe whatever sort of dong-related deceptions you can come up with. Words to live by. View Slideshow: Lamar Odom: A Timeline of Tragedy, Love, Loss … and Redemption?!

Eric Garner Protests Break Out In Anticipation Of His Killer’s Trial

Read this article:

N ew York City rush hour traffic was literally brought to a halt Monday morning ahead of administrative trial for the police officer who killed Eric Garner nearly five years ago. NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo , who has not only avoided being arrested for the flagrant killing caught on video but also managed to secure a lucrative salary boost in the interim, could be fired if found guilty. In anticipation of the ruling, protesters took to a major highway in Manhattan to bring attention to something they say should have been done immediately following the death caused by the use of a chokehold that the NYPD bans its officers from using. A small handful of activists unfurled a banner in the middle of the busy southbound lanes of the FDR Drive to show the words reading “ERIC GARNER” followed by the declarative hashtag “#FIRE PANTALEO.” #EricGarner Black life matters protesters stoping traffic on the FDR highway, standing up against what they are calling police injustice. pic.twitter.com/1HiMhzmDNc — Marvin Hoffman (@theeye74) May 13, 2019 The vantage point from a nearby highrise building showed the extent of the disruption in traffic. However, there were not any immediate reports of angry drivers, which could be an indication that even the typically temperamental motorists in the city’s five boroughs were sympathetic to what under normal circumstances would have been considered murder. VIDEO: The #FDR Drive Southbound in #Manhattan was shut down this morning (southbound near the Williamsburg Bridge) by a small group of protesters against #NYPD Officer Pantaleo, facing trial today for the death of #EricGarner . Video via @missmetaverse pic.twitter.com/YrhktS0Hgp — NYC Scanner (@NYScanner) May 13, 2019 Meanwhile, nearby at the Police Department’s headquarters in Lower Manhattan, the courtroom was reportedly packed with standing room only ahead of the trial’s start. However, according to the New York Times, even though the trial was open to the public, its verdict may not be made public immediately. The decision “will be sent to the police commissioner, James P. O’Neill, who has the authority to uphold, modify or even vacate the ruling,” the Times reported . Issues from the courtroom: not enough seats for all media, we are seated in the very back of the courtroom (hearing aides on, if prescribed) and if you leave don't expect to get your seat back. #danelpantaleo #ericgarner — Christina Carrega (@ChrisCarrega) May 13, 2019 Family members of past victims of police brutality by the NYPD were at the courtroom to offer support for Garner’s mother, Gwen Carr, according to a tweet from a local activist. Wow. Power & solidarity. These fams whose loved ones were killed by NYPD were at 1PP early this morn to make sure they get into courtroom for the Pantaleo trial to support #EricGarner mom & fam: aunt of #AkaiGurley & moms of #RamarleyGraham #MohamedBah #AnthonyBaez #FirePantaleo pic.twitter.com/pVTXLJZaws — Joo-Hyun Kang (@JooHyun_Kang) May 13, 2019 Pantaleo’s trial was coming about a month after the NYPD determined that Garner was not killed by a chokehold. That questionable decision could provide a hint at what to expect from Pantaleo’s trial. Garner was approached by undercover NYPD officers on July 17, 2014, for the alleged offense of selling untaxed loose cigarettes. When officers failed at handcuffing him for the nonviolent misdemeanor, Pantaleo was caught on video with his arms wrapped tightly around Garner’s neck from behind. The chokehold ultimately killed Garner. The entire deadly episode was captured on cellphone video and filmed by a bystander. Garner’s final words “I can’t breathe” — became a rallying call for social justice advocates who saw his death as a murder. The New York Police Department (NYPD) only began disciplinary proceedings against Officer Daniel Pantaleo in June of 2018.  A grand jury decided not to indict Pantaleo and the Department of Justice declined to bring a civil rights case against him.
