Oops… she did it again.

Britney Spears started dancing again in an Instagram video… with knives… again!

The star accompanied the video with an enigmatic message:

“Come over don’t worry I have such a warm inviting loving home with these FAKE knives!!!”

This is the second time the singer has posted such a video on her Instagram account, in just a few weeks.

The first time, it sparked a lot of controversy and concern even among her fans, leading to a brief visit by the Los Angeles Police Department to her residence, following a request for a welfare check.

The star had to explain on Instagram that it wasn’t dangerous at all, as they were fake knives rented from a specialist store, insisting that she’d simply been inspired by Shakira’s latest performance at the MTV VMAs:

“I know I spooked everyone with the last post, but these are fake knives that my team rented from Hand Prop shop in LA. These are not real knives. No one needs to worry or call the police. I’m trying to imitate one of my favorite performers Shakira … a performance I was inspired by!!! Cheers to us bad girls who aren’t afraid to push boundaries and take risks.”

All eyes will certainly be on Britney Spears even more in the coming weeks, as the release of her memoir, A Women In Me, including explosive revelations about her relationship with Justin Timberlake, already created a media frenzy.

All these stories, including her knifey dances, are sure to give her book, due out on October 24, plenty of publicity!

Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira return in The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live!

See the teaser right here!

AMC has unveiled a short but highly anticipated trailer for The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, a new spin-off from the original series, starring Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira).

The success of the main series has already led to various spin-offs, including Fear the Walking Dead, The Walking Dead: Dead City and The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. But this new opus is certainly one of the most eagerly awaited among loyal fans of the series.

Remember that in episode 5 of The Walking Dead season 9, entitled What Comes After, Rick Grimes, played by Andrew Lincoln, makes a significant exit from the series. The episode is crucial in the series, as it marks Rick’s departure and sets the stage for the character’s journey in the planned feature films, which will eventually become The Ones Who Live.

AMC

Michonne’s decision to seek out Rick Grimes occurs in season 10, specifically in episode 13, entitled What We Become.

In this episode, Michonne, played by Danai Gurira, meets with a few strangers who claim to have information about Rick’s whereabouts. The strangers, Virgil and his family offer Michonne the chance to find weapons that could help her community, as well as the hope that she might be able to find Rick.

AMC

The two characters will finally reunite in the series, which will be offered in February 2024 on AMC and AMC+.

Greta Thunberg arrested in London!

Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg, internationally recognized for her efforts against climate change, has once again been arrested, this time at an anti-oil and gas protest in London.

Thunberg was taken to a police van after being arrested outside the InterContinental London Park Lane during the “Oily Money Out” protest organized by Fossil Free London and Greenpeace on the sidelines of the opening day of the Energy Intelligence Forum 2023, in London, on October 17, 2023.

The arrest came minutes after her speech, and she criticized the fossil fuel industries.

“The world is drowning in fossil fuels,” she said.

Recall that Greta’s activism began in August 2018 when, at the age of 15, she started demonstrating outside the Swedish Parliament, calling for stronger action against climate change. She held a simple cardboard sign reading “School Strike for Climate”, and her solitary protest soon inspired others to join her in the “Fridays for the Future” movement.

Thunberg has been protesting for 270 weeks with no sign of stopping!

Abortion, infidelity: Justin Timberlake very worried about Britney Spears’ book

Justin Timberlake, who had a high-profile relationship with Britney Spears from 1999 to 2002, is reportedly very worried about the upcoming release of the singer’s much-anticipated memoir, according to Page Six.

According to several sources, Timberlake is absolutely obsessed with the content of the book and the revelations included by the singer about their tumultuous relationship and break-up.

WennCover

But then TMZ dropped a bombshell and claimed that Britney reveals in her book that she had become pregnant with Justin’s child when both were 19, and that after much discussion, she had decided to have an abortion. A decision that would have haunted the singer for many years.

Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake had a highly publicized love affair in the early 2000s. They first met as young actors on the TV show The Mickey Mouse Club, and later became one of the most important celebrity couples of their time.

But attention on the couple reached a frenzy when they separated in 2002… and this quickly led to much speculation, about possible infidelities, among other things.

Getty Images

After their break-up, Justin Timberlake came up with a song titled Cry Me a River and a video in which he seemed to depict a broken relationship and an unfaithful ex-girlfriend. Although Timberlake didn’t explicitly mention Britney Spears in the song, the lyrics and video led to much speculation that the song was about their relationship and break-up. This fueled the tabloids and increased public interest surrounding their split.

The drama surrounding their break-up certainly played an important role in the public’s perception of Britney Spears afterwards, as she went through personal difficulties that began around this time.

With a relationship like this, it’s easy to see why Timberlake is curious to know what Britney will reveal about their relationship…

Britney’s memoir, The Women In Me, is released on October 24.

Judge gags Trump: “He’s a criminal defendant”

Donald Trump could well face serious sanctions if he violates the ban imposed on him this Monday in the federal trial for his alleged attempts to nullify the results of the 2020 election, after the judge in the case issued her decision to impose a ban on any public comment aimed at prosecutors, court staff, as well as witnesses.

Trump is now very limited in what he can say about the federal prosecution of Special Counsel Jack Smith.

“His presidential candidacy does not give him carte blanche to vilify public servants who are simply doing their jobs,” explained Judge Tanya Chutkan when she issued her ruling.

WennCover

Trump is no longer allowed to harass or threaten certain people, due to the restrictions imposed on him this morning, including Special Counsel Jack Smith’s staff, court personnel and numerous witnesses:

“Mr. Trump is a criminal defendant. He is facing four felony charges. He is under the supervision of the criminal justice system and he must follow his conditions of release.”

Judge Chutkan thus gave Trump and his lawyers a serious warning:

“Politics stops at this courtroom door.”

Taylor Swift breaks a record with her film-concert The Eras Tour!

She surpasses a certain Justin Bieber.

The great pop singer Taylor Swift never ceases to impress with one hit after another.

While her Eras Tour, which pays tribute to all her albums, is the most expensive the star has ever done, fans flock to her extravagant concerts.

Many of the concerts took place in sold-out stadiums, and we’ll remember that it was quite a deal to get even a single ticket!

Then Swift decided to take her concert to the movies!

And that’s how the film-concert featuring her show from The Eras Tour became the highest-grossing concert film of all time, raking in $96 million at the North American box office in its first weekend in theaters.

Wow!

Taylor Swift’s film thus ranks first in the history of the genre, ahead of Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, which grossed $73 million.

For fans of the genre, note that Beyoncé is also planning to release her film-concert Renaissance during the month of December!

Will she succeed in dethroning Taylor Swift (and also overtake Justin Bieber)?
