Britney Spears finally had her conservatorship removed in the fall of 2021. ?Free Britney? worked, and Britney has been enjoying her newfound freedom ever since. Because Britney?s fans were so instrumental in helping Britney seek and achieve freedom, those fans believe they?re entitled to monitor her health and well-being. Those fans even went so far as to recently send police to Britney?s home to do a welfare check. The thing is, once Britney?s conservatorship was done, Britney can now make her own decisions about her medications, her doctors, her treatments and how she lives her life. Mine is not a pro- or anti-conservatorship stance, just a recognition that Freed Britney was always going to have a difficult time managing her own life after more than a decade of microscopic control exerted on her.
That?s what we?ve been seeing for more than a year now: a fanbase with a parasocial entitlement to ?monitor? Britney; a woman with a history of mental health issues now in charge of her own treatment and medication; a victim of financial, medical and parental abuse trying to understand and process that abuse. Of course it?s messy and of course people have legitimate concerns about Britney?s well-being. I?m not entirely sure that briefing People Magazine is the answer though.
Those in Britney Spears life are worried about the pop star as she goes through a difficult time, multiple sources close to the singer tell PEOPLE. Spears inner circle had an intervention planned for the Hold Me Closer singer, 41, but it was canceled at the last minute. She did, however, meet with a doctor on Wednesday night ? and while the meeting went well, the next steps are unclear.
Britney has been acting increasingly erratically and those around her have grown more concerned, a source says. She is often up all night, sleeps during [the] day and has a lot of anger.
Another insider in Spears circle tells PEOPLE that things behind the scenes have been very difficult and absolutely chaotic as those close to her encourage her to get help.
Everyone had hoped Britney could be convinced to seek treatment before things got any worse but they knew it wouldnt be easy, the source says. Shes been going through a lot and has been increasingly combative.
The insider adds that Sam Asghari, whom Spears married in June after six years of dating, is being as supportive as possible.

This sounds familiar to anyone who has any experience with someone dealing with bipolar disorder. It sounds? a lot like Kanye West too, only Kanye is allowed to just exist in whatever harmful Nazi state he wants with his bros around to insulate him. As for Britney, she isn?t a monster and what?s happening is not some new thing. Now, am I concerned that she doesn?t seem to be taking her meds, or that her meds don?t seem to be working? Yes. Do I wish that Britney had better people in her life overall, people whom she can trust, people who will help her without their own agenda? Yes. I hope she?s well and I hope she finds medical professionals who can help her. I hope she has people in her life whom she trusts no matter what.

Here are more photos from the Prince and Princess of Wales?s trip to Cornwall on Thursday, plus some additional photos of Kate?s event on Wednesday, when she got to hang out with Captain Preet Chandi. For a while, it seemed like William and Kate were going to do more separate events, but the day in Cornwall was their third joint-appearance in less than two weeks. William was with her when she launched Shaping Us at BAFTA, and they went to the Windsor foodbank together on January 26th. Is this a new era of William and Kate being able to do events together without looking like they?re disgusted with one another? Perhaps. According to People Magazine?s cover story, Kate is as tough as they come and she?s a real asset for William. Her people always say that.
Kate Middleton is moving forward following the release of Prince Harrys memoir, Spare. While the Princess of Wales has stayed silent on her brother-in-laws bombshell book, which portrayed her as cold towards him and Meghan Markle, she is no shrinking violet, a family friend tells PEOPLE in this weeks cover story.
She is a tough woman. It is wonderful that William has Kate by his side to rely on, as she is a real stalwart through this, the friend says.
Another friend tells PEOPLE, So much has been said that at this stage, I think they just want to move on. The whole situation is very sad, but its business as usual, and shes getting on with the job because thats what she does.
Behind the scenes, discussions are underway onhow to work out a reconciliation between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the royal family. Theres fatigue at the consequences of the brothers estrangement, as one insider puts it, and recognition that something ? or someone ? must bridge the divide.
[From People]
I guess it?s much too late for the Keen Peacemaker narrative to rise again. Kate?s done with keen-peacemaking, everyone, shes not going to solve her husbands beef with Harry. Her new narrative is ?Kate is moving on by winning the imaginary battle in her head against her nemesis Meghan!? Kind of crazy how Ol Stalwart wants credit for being tough when she also wants sympathy for Meghan sympathetically referencing her Baby Brain. Also: it continues to fascinate me to watch how Kate and William?s separate PR strategies diverge. Kate tells people that she?s indispensable, that she?s the only one who can soothe her intemperate, rage-filled, childish husband, that she?s his best asset. William?s PR is that Kate is fine, she raises the children and she doesn?t embarrass him too much. Anyway, we must allow Kate to get on with the job of copykeening her nemesis. Oh wait, it?s time for Kate to disappear for a month, whoopsie.

The Super Bowl is happening on Sunday. Wait, let me look up who?s playing? Chiefs versus the Eagles. That should be good (I have no idea). I?m mostly looking forward to the music, and I?m getting hyped for Rihanna?s Half-Time show. Usually, days before the Super Bowl, the Half-Time act gives an exclusive interview as part of the NFL sponsorship, and that?s what happened on Thursday. Rihanna gave an interview, and iTunes dropped this magnificent trailer for her Half-Time show:
It actually gave me chills? ?I was just a little island girl flying kites at the cemetery?? is so evocative. This will be Rihanna?s first time on stage in five years, and this is something Rihanna always swore she wouldn?t do. In 2019, Rihanna was asked by Vogue if she would ever do the Half-Time show and she said: ?I couldn?t dare do that. For what? Who gains from that? Not my people. I just couldn?t be a sellout. I couldn?t be an enabler. There?s things within that organization that I do not agree with at all, and I was not about to go and be of service to them in any way.? Crash-cut to 2023, with Jay-Z?s Roc Nation partnering with the NFL, and here she is. Some highlights from Rihanna?s interview:
She forgot about her birthday: Sunday, now thats the one. Ive been so focused on the Super Bowl I totally forgot that my birthdays coming up. I totally forgot about Valentines Day.?
The Super Bowl is an ?entertainer?s dream.? ?The Super Bowl is one of the biggest stages in the world; it?s an entertainer?s dream to be on a stage like that. But it?s nerve-racking. You want to get it right. You know, everybody?s watching. And they?re rooting for you. And I want to get it right.?
She keeps changing the set list: Rihanna explained how curating the setlist for the halftime show has been the most difficult aspect of it, noting that it?s changed roughly ?39 times? already. When asked what fans can expect from the performance, Rih said, ?It?s going to be a celebration of my catalog in the best way that we could.? She added that it?s changed so many times because of the inherent time crunch that comes with the halftime show. ?You?re trying to cram 17 years of work into 13 minutes, so it?s difficult, and some songs we had to lose because of that, but that?s okay.?
She?s also going to focus on her Bajan & Caribbean roots: ?[Caribbean culture] is a big part of why this is important for me to do this show. Representation: representing for immigrants, representing for my country of Barbados, representing for Black women everywhere. I think that?s really important. That?s key, for people to see the possibilities.? Apple Music also released a teaser for the show after the interview, which featured glimpses of Bajan culture and are sure to be present during the show.

It?s kind of crazy to think that Rihanna hasn?t done any of this in five years, and that the set list wasn?t finalized weeks ago, and that Rihanna just had a baby last year. I?m just saying? while I?m excited about the Half-Time show, I also think that there?s a good chance it will end up kind of messy! We?ll see.
