Ohhhh am I HEATED … the #FreeBritney movement continues on today as Britney Spears herself just told the world how bad her conservatorship really is!
I listened in via a livestream from fans outside the courthouse where I couldn’t believe the words that Britney was finally able to speak. In a 24-minute statement against the conservatorship she’s lived under for 13 years, Britney Spears sounded off before a Los Angeles probate judge Wednesday afternoon.
A few takeaways from me personally:
Britney wants to get married and have another baby but she’s being blocked by the conservatorship.
“All I want is to own my money … and for this to end … and for my boyfriend to be able to f*cking drive me in his car,” she said. “And honestly … I want to be able to sue my family … I have an IUD in my body right now that won’t let me have a baby and my conservators won’t let me go to the doctor to take it out. I wanna be able to get married and have a baby.”
I caught the tail end of this conversation as the live feed was in and out, but an attorney for Jodi Montgomery, who is currently the conservator over Britney as a person, asked that her privacy be protected and anything that implicates those rights be private. However, Britney insisted it all be public (AS IT SHOULD) … let Britney speak and share with the world what is going on! “They’ve done a good job at exploiting my life,” she shared. “So I feel like it should be an open court hearing and they should listen to what I have to say.”
“After I’ve told the whole world I’m okay, it’s a lie. I’m not happy and I can’t sleep. I’m depressed. I cry every day … It’s my wish and dream for all of this to end. I want my life back.”

“I’ve lied and told the whole world I’m okay and I’m happy.”
However, that’s far from true: “If I said that enough, maybe I’d become happy. … I’m in shock. I’m traumatized. … I’m so angry it’s insane,” Britney added.
#FreeBritney continues…and of course I will keep you updated all along the way.
A few celebrities have posted their support for Britney;
Bless Britney and I hope with my whole heart she is awarded freedom from this abusive system. She deserves it more than anything. I admire her courage speaking up for herself today.

Scooter Braun speaks out about his feud with Taylor Swift
LONG story short says; ‘I Regret It And It Makes Me Sad’
ICYMI – The fight between Taylor Swift and Scooter Braun began when he purchased the label Big Machine, which owned the rights to the master recordings for Taylor’s first six albums.
Taylor was disappointed she didn’t get the chance to buy her master recording and she began speaking out against Scooter. As you can imagine he faced a massive wave of backlash from her fans. He later sold Taylor’s masters to Shamrock Holdings for $300 million.
“I regret and it makes me sad that Taylor had that reaction to the deal,” Scooter says of the feud. Goes on to say I don’t know what story she was told. I asked for her to sit down with me several times, but she refused. I offered to sell her the catalogue back and went under NDA but her team refused. It all seems very unfortunate.
Taylor has announced that she’s re-recording her album Red, titled; “Red (Taylor’s Version)” coming out November, 19.
Ludacris is settling those rumors that he is a Pilot! Speaking on “The Ellen Degeneres” show, Ellen brought up the video we all saw of Ludain the cockpit of the plane and, looked like he was flying it!
“I’m just as surprised as everyone else,” Luda responded. “The internet just ran with the fact that I have an official pilot’s license when they saw the video. I never said that!”
“But who am I to correct the internet.The internet believes what they want to believe,” he continued … and I know I assumed that so maybe I was actually apart of the problem!
Ludacris went on to explain that he owns the plane but it was his first time actually flying it.

From Luda to Vin Diesel … VIN Finally Explains his and Dwayne Johnson Beef …
Vin opened up about the beef between him and Dwayne Johnson…and said as a producer he had a certain vision about how the Hobbs character should be played (by Dwayne). They needed to separate The Rock’s persona from the Hobbs character. Vin says it was a matter of “tough love.”
To sum it all up they had different views on how the character should be presented…and as producer, Vin Diesel got to make the call.
F9 is in theaters this weekend. Vin returns, but The Rock does not star in this one.
