There might be a light at the end of the tunnel for the Free Britney movement now that Britney Spears’s father, Jamie Spears, has agreed to step down as the conservator of her estate, as TMZ first reported Thursday (August 12). But first, he intends to work through the process of “an orderly transition to a new conservator.” The pop star has been under a conservatorship for the last 13 years that controls her finances, health care, and life decisions. In a court hearing on June 22, Britney spoke publicly about her conservatorship for the first time, shocking the world with allegations of abuse. The next month, she was granted her own attorney, Matthew Rosengart, after the resignation of her court-appointed lawyer, Samuel D. Ingham III. Rosengart filed a petition to remove Jamie as her...

A few weekends ago, on May 15, 2021, Ariana Grande got married. In a private ceremony at her home in Montecito, California, Grande tied the knot with her partner, Dalton Gomez, wearing a dress described by Vogue as “a custom lily-white silk charmeuse empire waist column gown accented with a sculpted neckline, an exposed bra strap closure, and a plunging back.” It was a highly private affair for one of the most famous people on the planet, and details from the event were scarce in the days immediately following it. But today (May 26), Grande has let fans into her world by sharing a few photos from her big day. The first burst finds her and Gomez kissing in front of a fireplace surrounded by dangling floral arrangements and offers some details of their classic black-tie vibe, inc...

A$AP Rocky is in love. More specifically, he’s in love with Rihanna. Even more specifically — because I realize that also applies to large swaths of the global population — he is, in fact, in a relationship with Rihanna. In a revealing and intimate new GQ cover story, Rocky catches the world up on what the past few years of his life have looked like. Part of that includes sitting in a Swedish prison cell for “23 and a half hours a day” after his 2019 arrest, sketching out pieces for a collaboration with Parisian designer Marine Serre, and yes, romancing Rihanna, calling her both “the love of my life” and “my lady.” He’s tight-lipped on the timeline of their relationship, but there are a few things we know. They’ve been spotted in Barbad...

Harry Styles is officially ready to be part of your world. A photoshoot of the 27-year-old singer-songwriter dressed as Ariel from The Little Mermaid surfaced online on Friday (April 16) and promptly submerged the internet. The collection of images — in which Styles raises a glass of champagne while wearing the character’s quintessential bright red wig, seashell bra, and green tail — are from a previously unreleased photoshoot from when Styles hosted Saturday Night Live in November 2019. The promotional images were skipped over in favor of a set of those that featured Styles posing on a huge disco ball, leaping through the air in a leotard, and playing the harp. The fishy pics were lef...

In the span of just 27 years, Justin Bieber has lived lifetimes. He’s been the childhood star, the teen heartthrob, the rebel without a cause, and most recently, the devout husband. In an all-encompassing cover profile by GQ that published Tuesday (April 13), Bieber opened up about it all: the importance of forgiveness, growing from his infamous past, and the difficulties he experienced in his first year of marriage. The singer, who dropped the surprise gospel EP Freedom last week, admitted that, as a young adult growing up in the spotlight, he let his “ego” and “insecurities” shape how he saw himself, his career, and the world around him. But that outlook took its toll. He felt “numb” while on the tail end of his 2017 Purpose tour —...

With the re-recording of her 2008 album Fearless set to drop on Friday (April 9), Taylor Swift has tapped her “kids” Olivia Rodrigo and Conan Gray to create their own wholesome, DIY videos inspired by two of her biggest hits from the Fearless era: “You Belong With Me” and “White Horse.” In a tweet on Thursday (April 8), Swift shared that she had sent Gray and Rodrigo an advance copy of the re-recording of her legendary single “You Belong With Me” and her reaction to their corresponding video, which features the two singing the song’s chorus into hairbrushes, was perfectly wholesome. “You ok? NO cause I sent my two kids @Olivia_Rodrigo and @conangray my new version of You Belong With Me an...

Violence against Asian Americans has risen dramatically over the past year. The coalition Stop AAPI Hate has tracked nearly 4,000 incidents of discrimination over the past year alone, as NPR reported earlier this month, though experts and advocates stress that the actual number is likely much higher. In March 2021 alone, a gunman in Atlanta killed six women of Asian descent amid widely circulated social-media videos of other brutal anti-Asian attacks in New York City and elsewhere. The members of BTS have taken to Twitter to speak out, both in English and Korean, against this uptick in violence and racist incidents as well as to reveal that they themselves — J-Hope, Jimin, Jin, Jungkook, RM, Suga, and V — have faced discrimination, though they stressed that their experience doesn’t c...

By Rob LeDonne Trigger warning: This interview discusses sexual assault and drug addiction. When Demi Lovato approached director Michael D.
