Britney Spears will not be charged by the Ventura County DA! The DA was looking into whether Britney should be charged for misdemeanor battery for an incident involving one of her housekeepers. The story was complicated, but basically a housekeeper took Britney?s dogs away and gave them to a dog walker, and when Britney wanted them back, she and the housekeeper argued and Britney possibly slapped the housekeeper?s phone out of her hand. Team Britney evidently felt like Jamie Spears was orchestrating some sh-t behind-the-scenes and trying to make Britney look crazy and violent. Britney ended up firing the housekeeper and she?s not being charged with anything:
Prosecutors have decided not to file a charge against Britney Spears for allegedly swatting her housekeeper?s phone in a dispute at her home last month. In a statement on Wednesday, Ventura County District Attorney Erik Nasarenko said there was insufficient evidence that a crime had occurred, and noted the lack of injury to the housekeeper or damage to the phone.
The housekeeper called the authorities on Aug. 16, after a fight over the veterinary care received by Spears? dog.
?During the argument, Spears was alleged to have slapped a phone out of the housekeeper?s hand,? the D.A.?s office said Wednesday. ?The housekeeper indicated that the screen protector to the phone was damaged. The housekeeper had no visible injuries.?
Mathew Rosengart, Spears? attorney, expressed appreciation that the D.A.?s office rejected the case, and again called it ?tabloid fodder.? He also alluded to the media?s past treatment of Spears, which has been the subject of reappraisal in the wake of ?Framing Britney Spears,? the documentary about her conservatorship.
?If this involved Jane Doe rather than Britney Spears it would not have been pursued or covered at all,? Rosengart said in a statement. ?Anyone can make an accusation but this should never have made it this far and we are glad the DA?s Office has done the right thing. Sadly, it is apparent that some have learned nothing from the past, and we sincerely hope the media and others will be more respectful of Ms. Spears in the future.?

I think it was a combination of things, it wasn?t just that the housekeeper had no injuries, it was also that Britney is still in the conservatorship and it feels like it would be incredibly tricky legally to charge her with battery. And maybe the investigation did uncover Jamie Spears? involvement, who knows. Anyway, I?m glad Britney can focus on gaining some freedom and moving on from her father?s control.

As a Fresh Prince of Bel Air fan, I was ecstatic when filmmaker Morgan Cooper posted a viral trailer of a darker, grittier reimagined Fresh Prince of Bel Air in 2019. I got even more excited when it was announced that Will Smith loved the trailer so much that he wanted to produce the project. Then Peacock picked up the series for two seasons. I got a bit nervous when it was revealed that the original showrunner and his replacement quit the show before it even got off the ground. I worried that the network was taking the show in a different direction. But my excitement has been renewed after a video of Will Smith announcing to newcomer actor, Jabari Banks of Philadelphia, that he landed the lead in the series reboot. Below are a few more details including the surprise announcement video via BBC:
It is an absolute pleasure to meet you, to be on with you, and from the deepest parts of my heart I want to say congratulations to you, he told Banks.
You have the role of Will on Bel-Air.
Im ready, Im so ready, replied the actor, who revealed his father had suggested he try out for the part after reading an article about it.
This is a dream come true, he added.
Banks said the show had a huge impact on his life, adding that he once got his friends to join him in dressing up as characters from the TV show while he was at high school.
The original Will told the new one: Youve got a fantastic road ahead of you, and Im looking forward to being an asset for you in this process as you build out your life and build out your career.
According to US entertainment outlet Deadline, this will be Banks first TV role.
A resident of west Philadelphia, which is also where the titular character was famously born and raised, Banks graduated from the citys University of the Arts last year.
He also an accomplished singer-songwriter, rapper, and basketball player.

Jabari is adorable but I feel like he looks way too young for the role. With that being said, he does look like a cross between Will Smith and the young man in Coopers reboot so he definitely looks the part. I think the role of Will is something Jabari can grow into and I am excited for him. I am also happy that Will and the producers decided to go with an unknown actor. This is definitely an amazing opportunity for someone like Jabari at the start of their career. It was adorable that Jabari was so excited to meet Will that he showed Will a picture of him and his high school friends dressed as the original cast for the original series. I also think it is a full circle moment that Jabari will literally live his role by being from Philly and moving to L.A. Anyways, I am now excited about the series again. I thought the casting of Will was going to be the hardest role. Now that they are off to a good start, I look forward to seeing who will play the rest of the cast.
