Yesterday, there was yet another major hearing in the Britney Spears legal saga. Britney?s lawyer Mathew Rosengart was in court for a closed-door hearing into Britney?s conservatorship. For a few months now, Rosengart has argued several things concurrently: that Jamie Spears should be removed as conservator, but that the removal process needs to go a certain way so mechanisms can be put in place to protect Britney and her assets. Rosengart has also argued correctly, I believe that Jamie Spears is trying to use the termination of the conservatorship as a way to avoid further inquiries and investigations into his decisions regarding Britney?s finances. Meanwhile, Jamie?s lawyers have been arguing for an immediate termination of the conservatorship. The judge ended up granting Rosengart?s petition to remove Jamie Spears as conservator, but the conservatorship is still in place in some form, with a court hearing coming up to examine what is next.
At a hearing on Wednesday, Judge Brenda Penny granted a petition by Ms. Spears?s lawyer, suspending Mr. Spears, 69, from his position as overseer of his daughter?s $60 million estate ? a move Ms. Spears was pleading for, her lawyer said.
?This man does not belong in her life, your honor, for another day,? Mathew S. Rosengart, who took over as the singer?s lawyer in July, argued in court. ?Please hear the plea of my client.? He said that it would be a ?disaster? for Mr. Spears to remain in her life.
Lawyers for Mr. Spears said that the conservatorship should be ended instead, calling his record as conservator ?impeccable.? But after hearing from both sides, the judge agreed that suspending Mr. Spears was in his daughter?s best interest. ?The current situation is not tenable,? Judge Penny said. She named a California accountant, John Zabel, as the temporary conservator of the singer?s finances, as Mr. Rosengart had requested.

Jamie?s lawyer Vivian Lee Thoreen argued to end the conservatorship right then and there and she was shut down by the judge. Rosengart argued that by asking for a swift termination of the conservatorship, ?Mr. Spears was seeking to avoid having to turn over records from the conservatorship, including 13 years of financial information.? The next hearing for the case is scheduled for November 12th, and that will be to check in on the orderly transition of the conservatorship. And clearly, Rosengart is asking for a full audit of Britney?s finances. I would be too there?s no way that she?s *only* worth $60 million. I?m really enjoying Rosengart?s legal arguments on Britney?s behalf. He seems like a very good lawyer.

Tonight, Grey?s Anatomy returns for a historic eighteenth season, after Covid cut the 17th season short. There?s been tons of pop-culture pieces about what Grey?s Anatomy means and THR did a fascinating ?oral history? of Patrick Dempsey?s dramatic exit from the show, with interviews from every major cast member. It read part of that feature and it made me seriously wonder about Shonda Rhimes? ?no aholes? policy, because it honestly seems like Grey?s has been on for long, it?s turned everyone into aholes. Especially Ellen Pompeo. My theory was somewhat confirmed this week when Ellen told a story on her own podcast about the time Denzel Washington came in to direct an episode. Apparently, Ellen?s behavior was pretty bad. But what?s worse is that she?s telling the story like she?s the heroine of the tale.
Denzel Washington made his small-screen directing debut on Greys Anatomy back in 2015, with the season 12 episode The Sound of Silence, but according to series star Ellen Pompeo, things got a little loud during the filming of one particular scene when the two got into it. Pompeo shared the story on a new episode of her podcast Tell Me With Ellen Pompeo, in which she reunited with former castmate Patrick Dempsey. As the two discussed directing ? with Pompeo suggesting Dempsey do more of it ? he asked her what it was like when Washington came on board to helm an episode the season after Dempseys Derek Shepherd was killed off.
While she began by saying Washington was amazing, Pompeo went on to discuss a heated exchange the pair had. He went nuts on me, she said, adding that she was telling a good Denzel story from his time on set before detailing exactly what went down.
Pompeo was shooting a scene for the end of the episode in which her character, Dr. Meredith Grey, is asked to listen to an apology from a man who seriously injured her, leaving her with a broken jaw. (The story was inspired by a real-life incident in which an epileptic patient goes into a seizure and beat up a nurse, Pompeo explained.) It being an emotional scene for the actress to shoot, she ended up improvising dialogue in the moment in response to an acting decision the guest star made.
He made this choice to speak very softly. And [Meredith] was pissed that [she] had to sit there and listen to this apology, and he wasnt looking at [her] in the eye, Pompeo recalled, wavering between talking about herself and the guest star as actors and characters. Again, we love actors who make choices, right? And I yelled at him, and I was like, Look at me when you apologize. Look at me. And that wasnt in the dialogue, and Denzel went ham on my ass. He was like, Im the director. Dont you tell him what to do. And I was like, Listen, motherf???er, this is my show. This is my set. Who are you telling? Like, You barely know where the bathroom is. And I have the utmost respect for him as an actor, as a director, as everything, but like, yo, we went at it one day.
As Pompeo shared more of the story, she said she ended up having a little chat with Washingtons wife when she came to the set. (Pompeo had said earlier in the podcast that Washingtons wife was the one who told him to direct Greys, as she was a fan.)
I was like, Yeah, he yelled at me today. Yeah, he let me have it today, and Im not okay with him, and Im not looking at him, and Im not talking to him, Pompeo said. So we didnt get through it without a fight, but you know, thats actors for you ? passionate and fiery ? and thats where you get the magic, and thats where you get the good stuff. So it was an amazing experience, it really was.
[From EW]
So? Denzel tried to direct the scene because he was actually the director and Ellen threw a tantrum? On one hand, men get away with treating other people like this all the time. When men do it, they are called ?passionate? and ?authoritative.? On the other hand, I feel like if anyone male or female started bitching out Denzel Washington, there would be issues. Especially since Ellen does not think she was in the wrong at all, and she sees nothing wrong with her behavior.
