Britney Spears’ New Lawyer Officially Filed To Remove Her Father From The Conservatorship

After the revelations from the The Framing Britney Spears documentary led to an outburst from the pop star herself, it looks like the walls around Britney’s conservatorship are finally crumbling down. Although she cryptically stated that fans still don’t know the true nature of her conservatorship, she’s also slammed those closest to her who “never showed up” when she needed them to. Now that the singer is finally able to retain her own lawyer, Matthew Ronsengart, he’s officially filed to remove Jamie Spears as one of Britney’s conservators.

According to The New York Times, the filing calls her case a “Kafkaesque nightmare” and pointed to “serious questions abound concerning Mr. Spears’s potential misconduct, including conflicts of interest, conservatorship abuse and the evident dissipation of Ms. Spears’s fortune.” Removing her father is the first step in dismantling the conservatorship, but further filings indicate that pressing charges against Jamie for conservator abuse might take precedence.

“There might well come a time when the court will be called upon to consider whether the conservatorship should be terminated in its entirety and whether — in addition to stripping his daughter of her dignity, autonomy and certain fundamental liberties — Mr. Spears is also guilty of misfeasance or malfeasance warranting the imposition of surcharges, damages or other legal action against him,” the filing continued.

Britney’s new lawyer said he considered this “the most pressing issue facing Ms. Spears: removing Mr. Spears as conservator of the estate.” He also filed for a new accountant to control Britney’s finances, Jason Rubin, arguing that if she had the capacity to retain counsel, she also had the wherewithal to appoint a new money manager. This looks like the first step of many for Britney when it comes to restoring her autonomy and dignity, and she’s even credited the #FreeBritney movement with helping her gain the courage to do so.

‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’ actor plans to give his $700 M fortune to charity

Living a simple and happy life, Chow Yun-fat plans to give his around $700 million fortune to charity, Hong Kong movie site Jayne Stars reported.

Chow Yun Fat was born in Lamma Island, Hong Kong, to a mother who was a cleaning lady and vegetable farmer, and a father who worked on a Shell Oil Company tanker. Chow grew up in a farming community, in a house with no electricity.

He would wake at dawn each morning to help his mother sell herbal jelly and Hakka tea-pudding on the streets; in the afternoons, he went to work in the fields.


His family moved to Kowloon when he was ten, and at 17, he left school to help support the family by doing odd jobs, including bellboy, postman, camera salesman, and taxi driver.

His life started to change after college when he responded to a newspaper advertisement, and his actor-trainee application was accepted by a local television station. He signed a three-year contract with the studio and made his acting debut.

Chow became a heartthrob and familiar face in soap operas that were exported internationally.

The 63-year-old Chinese actor said in an interview this year that he plans on donating his entire fortune to charity, China Daily reports.

Active in in the movie industry for over four decades — Chow is best known in Asia for his collaborations with filmmaker John Woo in the heroic bloodshed-genre films “A Better Tomorrow,” “The Killer and Hard Boiled”; and in the West for his roles as Li Mu-bai in “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” and Sao Feng in “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.”

One could be forgiven for thinking that with this vast wealth, Chow Yun Fat lives a luxurious lifestyle, that consists of expensive cars and sumptuous mansions.

Instead, Chow is shown to be fairly frugal – often opting to take public transit and doing charity work rather than spending money on himself.

Despite his massive wealth, Chow Yun Fat leads a very simple lifestyle, reportedly spending just $800 HKD a month on himself. That’s a little over $100 USD.

He used his first-generation Nokia phone for over 17 years before making a switch two years ago to a smartphone – only because his Nokia stopped working.

Never ostentatious, Chow can often be seen shopping at discount shops. He expressed, “I don’t wear clothes for other people. As long as I think it’s comfortable, then it’s good enough for me.”

Chow spends his free time on healthy pursuits such as hiking and jogging, and often when he is recognized will happily stop and pose for the cameras.

Chow’s wife, Jasmine Tan, previously disclosed his net worth and his plan to donate it to various charities. Establishing their own charity several years ago, Tan supports Chow’s decision in giving his money to different causes.

On his reason for giving away his fortune, Chow smiled, The money’s not mine. I’m only keeping it safe for the time being.”

Expressing that money is not the source of happiness, he added, “My dream is to be a happy and normal person. The hardest thing in life is not about how much money you earn, but how to keep a peaceful mindset and live the rest of your life in a simple and carefree manner.”

Graduate’s speech goes viral for calling out school’s alleged sexual assault, bullying, and neglect

“And to you, underclassmen, who have to endure all the things the school throws at you for two or three more years. A school where the administration closes their eyes to everything that happens at the school. Their school. The sexual assault, the bullying, the depression, the outcasts. They do nothing to fix it.”

High school senior Charles Chandler made his mark when delivering his graduation speech at Heritage High School on Wednesday, June 5th, 2019. The student, who made multiple references to the abuse he and others allegedly endured while attending the Vancouver, Washington-based school, used this platform as a means of expressing a disheartening reality many allegedly face on a daily basis.



Charles Chandler Graduation Speech 2019 Heritage High School

www.youtube.com

Upon listening to Chandler’s speech, it’s clear from the rousing response from his peers that the senior’s words resonated. Look, this is high school. Ask anyone about their own school experience and it probably won’t take long before you, too, will hear stories about harassment, bullying, or even sexual assault.

As serious as these claims are — the higher-ups at Heritage High School allegedly turned a blind eye to a number of such instances — it seems that the institution is more-so focused on preserving their image in the end. According to Katu2, after Chandler decided to “go off book” from his pre-approved speech, the school revoked his invitation to walk in this year’s graduation ceremony.

“I don’t think they should be capable of stopping me from walking at graduation for expressing my First Amendment rights,” Chandler said, before revealing that multiple peers reached out to him with their own stories of abuse and the lack of action taken by the school’s administration.

“I tried getting help and there wasn’t really much help given,” revealed Ethan Wheeler, Chandler’s close friend.

The young man chose to stick by his words, even after the school’s administrators offered him “a restorative solution” in order to get his walking privileges back, and his father Shane has stayed 100% in his son’s corner. “I think Charles is learning 100 times more from his stand and looking out for other people,” he said. “Hopefully, this will cause a little change.”

Will Chandler’s call-to-action spark any sort of progress? That remains to be seen. But his words did have a big enough impact to spark the creation of a petition at Change.org. As well, his protest speaks to a bigger problem that teenagers all across the country are dealing with. Simply put, High school bullying is on the rise. So is teen suicide. And while we’re not posing the notion that one directly correlates to the other … there is definitely a connection here.

With so many obstacles high school students face, schools seem to be looking less and less as sanctuaries for learning, and more as places where safety is constantly put into question. Is there anything administrators can do to ensure kids feel safe inside these walls? Simply listening to their worries and taking their reports of abuse seriously is probably a good start.

John Mayer Reacts To ‘Sob Rock’ Hitting No. 2 On The ‘Billboard’ Chart: ‘This Is A New Beginning’

Ever since John Mayer compared his latest record, Sob Rock, to a sh*tpost, we all knew it was going to be a thing of beauty. Damn, if it isn’t his best record in years, and I even *liked* Paradise Valley! Anyway, the record is doing really well because it’s a project where he’s embracing his “tuneful cheeseball” self. But that’s not a diss, there’s something to be said for simply owning who you are, and Mayer has always been at his best when he’s writing introspectively catchy songs that delve into messier narratives than the perfect package of a pop hit.

As the album landed in the the No. 2 position on Billboard chart this week, beat only by Pop Smoke’s posthumous release, Faith, the singer-songwriter took to Instagram to reflect on his legacy.

“I’ve been making music for a while now,” he wrote on Instagram. “I’ve had my rocket ride years, my figure-it-out years, and most recently the years of having settled into myself and proudly passing the love of music on to others. That’s how the story goes, if you’re lucky. I don’t know what to make of still having a seat at this table. I just don’t. I only know it has everything to do with you. So thank you. For inhabiting the space inside the music I’ve made, and most importantly – for giving me the opportunity to feel this kind of success with my true, fully assembled self. This is a new beginning. With love and gratitude, John.”

In his post, Mayer shared Pop Smoke’s cover, along with Olivia Rodrigo and Doja Cat, who took the No. 3 and No. 4 slots on the album chart, respectively. And while it’s cool to see him honoring his peers, it’s also good context for the success of this record! For him to be slated alongside those three much younger stars says a lot about his staying power. If you do go check out Sob Rock I recommend starting with “New Light,” easily the best song on the record.

Congrats John! Now, who’s ready to let bygones be bygones and have him hop on the upcoming “Dear John” (Taylor’s Version) for a sick guitar solo?

Irritated Fans Removed DaBaby From Dua Lipa’s ‘Levitating’ Remix And Added Megan Thee Stallion Instead

Due to the fact that DaBaby keeps engaging in strange behavior like spouting off homophobic nonsense, and collaborating with Tory Lanez, the rapper who is trying to gaslight Megan Thee Stallion about their violent altercation that led to her getting shot last year, fans are quickly turning on the North Carolina breakout star. They’re turning so fast, in fact, that a new mashup replaces him on the remix of Dua Lipa’s hit single “Levitating” with a verse from Megan instead.

Since Dua and Megan themselves let us know they can’t wait to collaborate, fans took matters into their own hands and forced the issue. Some internet geniuses slapped Megan’s verse from her Phony PPL collaboration, “Fkn Around,” into the breaks where DaBaby’s verse formerly existed. They even went so far as to graft clips of Megan in the “Fkn Around” video into the “Levitating” visuals. When I tell you that the next generation has me in awe at least once a week! Check out the new fan-made clip, along with the original remix version below, so you can see how seamless the new version is. Above, I’ve also included the original Phony PPL song, because it’s also incredible and underrated. The internet, man, it’s the gift that keeps on giving.

Robin Williams Quit The ‘Howard The Duck’ Movie After Three Frustrating Days, According To His Replacement

Marvel may be the dominant force in movies right now, but it got off to an inauspicious cinematic start. The first big-screen movie — and the last for 12 years, until Blade — was 1986’s Howard the Duck, based one of the more eccentric characters in the comics giant’s stable. It was a huge Lucasfilm production; it was, well, not another Star Wars. But time has been good to the onetime bomb, to the point where its 35th anniversary has produced a fawning look-back at The Hollywood Reporter, where we learn, among other things, that it very briefly starred Robin Williams.

This comes courtesy of his replacement, Broadway star Chip Zien, who went from doing Stephen Sondheim to subbing in for the guy from Mork and Mindy as the voice of a sentient alien duck who finds himself unwittingly beamed to Earth. This was well before the age of CGI, so Howard was, of course, an animatronic duck. However, no voice actor had been cast during production, so all of his lines were read on set by puppeteers. That meant when they cast Williams, a famous ad-libber, he had to make sure his wild line readings matched the stiff bill movements of his waterfowl character.

Zien says the story he was heard that “by the third day, Robin said, ‘I can’t do this. It is insane. I can’t get the rhythm of this. I am being confined. I am being handcuffed in order to match the flapping duck’s bill.’” And so Zien was flown out from New York right away, and the rest — which is to say legendarily poor box office and reviews — is history.

Not only did the movie not make Zien a star; he wasn’t even invited to the premiere! Instead, he saw his big break with the great unwashed, at his local Upper West Side movie theater, along with “maybe 12 people.” He spent part of the screening warning parents who’d brought young kids that the movie got pretty scary, he recalls: “And they would look at me like, ‘Who the hell is the weird guy running around in the theater trying to get people to leave?’”

At least Howard the Duck isn’t the only major thing on Zien’s CV. He also originated the role of the Baker in Sondheim’s Into the Woods (played by James Corden in the 2014 movie), and you can see his excellent work in the much-loved filmed stage version shown on PBS’ American Playhouse from 1991.

Juno Temple On How ‘Ted Lasso’ Saved Her Mental Health During Lockdown

It’s hard to think of a character on Ted Lasso who’s more relentlessly optimistic than the former-football-coach-turned-futbol-coach brought to life by Jason Sudeikis on the Apple TV+ original series.

But if we were playing that game, we’d be naming Juno Temple’s WAG-ish PR maven as runner-up.

Temple’s Keeley Jones started out a pinup prototype – young, beautiful, and blonde, saddled with an immature, egocentric footballer. But she quickly evolved into one of the show’s standout players, bubbling with positivity and a wry, British sense of humor that was both charming and refreshingly sincere. In many ways, Keeley was proof that even a male-dominated sports comedy could craft female characters that were authentic, dynamic, and bloody hilarious.

That might be a daunting bar to set, but Temple more than meets it in the show’s second season as the character takes on more responsibility with the club and navigates a new dynamic in her relationship with Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein).

Uproxx chatted with Temple about how the show has helped her cope this past year, taking a risk with comedy, and where her fan-favorite ship is going in season two.

This show had a hell of a first season. Did you have that feeling when you were shooting season one that this could be something?

I learned very early in my career that you can’t predict anything when it comes to being a part of this mad, brilliant, wild industry. All you can do is step into any character that you get the privilege of playing with passion and empathy and go forth from that. With Keeley, Jason reached out to me personally about her. I’d known him loosely over the years and it meant a lot that the whole project came from him texting me, ‘Listen, I have this pilot. I’d love you to read it. It’s very precious to me. So if you don’t get… if it’s not for you, that’s cool, but if it is, I would love to sit down, talk to you more about it.’

And immediately that struck me. When something is that personal to somebody and really means that much that they wanted to do it that way; the initial ask felt very personal and special. I read the pilot and it was unlike anything I’d read before. Then I called him back and said, ‘I think this is going to be amazing. Are you sure you want me?’ Because I’m not known for being a part of comedy stuff really at all. I’m known for really embracing characters that are going through things that are darker, but I guess what do we do as humans when we go through dark shit? Try and laugh, right? And so I sat down with Jason and from the minute go of hearing him talk about this in person, it just became clearer and clearer how much this meant to him, and how the universe was mapped out in his brain, and how excited I was that he thought I could breathe life into Keeley.

The timing of season one was serendipitous. It came in the middle of a global lockdown when the world really needed some positivity. Do you think season two will hit the same?

I think even before the pandemic, the world needed some hope and positivity. It’s been needing it for a long time. I think the pandemic meant that people couldn’t busy themselves with their everyday lives anymore. They had to pause, and everybody had to sit with themselves. For some people that was a really insightful and important time, for some people, it was deeply painful, and all of the emotions in between. I think what Ted Lasso did that I’m really proud of, is genuinely surprises people. People thought it was going to be one thing and it ended up being something completely different.

What did returning to the show and this character during the pandemic mean for you?

Playing Keeley has really helped with my mental health, with my ability to be very harsh towards myself, and difficult with myself at times. She has been a ray of light for me. And to have a fan base for the show now that, not just love the show, but it actually means something to them too, feels profound. It feels like a connection that I didn’t know I was ever going to have in my career, you know?

One of the best relationships to come from the show is Keeley’s friendship with Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham). What do they give to each other and does that bond grow stronger in season two?

She’s guided Keeley into realizing that she’s more than just famous for being almost famous, for being somebody’s girlfriend. I think Rebecca really opens Keeley’s eyes to that in a way that no one has before. And I think Keeley is a girl with a beating pink heart and sees another girl with a beating pink heart and knows that they can connect. So this friendship was such a special one to build and such a beautiful one to put on camera. And what a blessing that is to get to play that kind of a relationship and dynamic in what you would imagine being an incredibly masculine-oriented world. I think we’re conditioned unfortunately into thinking like, ‘Oh, that means there’s going to be some competitiveness, there’s going to be some catfights,’ and there’s none of that. They just want each other to shine in their own existence and remind each other of things they may have forgotten about themselves. It’s the gift that keeps on giving — the relationship between Keeley and Rebecca.

Speaking of relationships, the other big relationship Keeley has is with Roy Kent. They seem to be on different paths when season one ends. How does their relationship evolve this season?

Yeah, it’s kind of like this bizarre earthquake that’s happening, creating these tectonic plates moving, right? His is going one way and hers is going another way yet they’re going to stop each other from falling into molten lava in between. I think the one thing that they are going through together is that they are finally allowing each other to be loved and to love one another. That’s a powerful thing. I think falling in love is the greatest adventure that you can have in life.

Brett means so much to me and creating this relationship with him, really talking about what this relationship means to us, and what we want to put out there in the world with it – it’s honesty. We want it to be real, which means sometimes it’s easy, sometimes it won’t be. You’ll have to watch the show to find out what their future is, but ultimately I think it’s very human, which means sometimes it’s funny, sometimes it’s sexy, sometimes it’s sad …

Sometimes it’s sexy because it’s sad?

Yeah, what I think is cool about Keeley is what she finds really sexy in Roy in season two. I won’t give any spoilers, but it’s great. I love that.

Season two of ‘Ted Lasso’ is now streaming via AppleTV+.

Woman posts important reminder about social media after seeing a mom stage a pool photoshoot

It used to be that magazines set the unrealistic standard for beauty in our lives. Now, that has sort of shifted… to Instagram. All types of people curate perfect versions of themselves on social media that do not actually reflect their real life. And one mom, Jen Flint, witnessed this image cultivation in real time one day when she was at the pool with her kids.

In a viral Facebook post, Jen writes that while she was at the pool, she saw “a young Mama and her little daughter enter the pool area dressed in very nice coordinating swimming suits.” The mom proceeded to talk to her friend loudly on the phone while her daughter waited to get into the pool. After the phone call was over, Mom set up the perfect, Instagrammable scene: matching towel, pool toys arranged just so, and sunscreen laid out nicely. Instead of letting her daughter get into the pool and playing with her, mom snapped photos of the two of them posing, a perfect picture of fun.

But, Jen argues, the reality was much different. The little girl played in the water for a few minutes alone while mom talked to another friend on the phone. The girl repeatedly asked her mom to join her in the pool. “She was ignored,” Jen writes. A mere 10 minutes later, “Mama ended her call, collected the sunscreen that was never applied, the water toys that never touched the water, and then her daughter and left the pool.”


Jen writes, “I sat there thinking about what I’d witnessed for awhile afterwards. I imagined the photos she took being perfectly edited and posted to social media with a caption like, ‘Pool time with my girly! #makingmemories.

“Somewhere another Mama is going to be at home with her children, the house a mess from their play, her hair unruly from a day of mothering and her clothes dirty with spit up or peanut butter. She’s going to be tired because she’s spent her day cooking, caring, cleaning and playing with her children. She’s going to look at that photo and she is going to compare herself to the perfect Mama at the pool. The Adversary is going to whisper into her ear “you aren’t good enough… You don’t look like that Mama at the pool…”

Jen implores us to recognize that “what we see on social media isn’t always real. Sometimes and often it’s a complete set-up.” She tells other moms not to compare themselves to what they see on social media because it’s all a façade. “Your dirty shirt and messy house and your happy children are real and they are proof that you are doing it right!”

Jen’s post completely blew up. With more than 200,000 reactions and 140,000 shares, it was easy to tell that Jen’s words affected parents and others everywhere. In the comments, so many people thanked her for her words and relished the reminder that what you see on social media is there because that’s what people want you to see. None of it is the whole picture.

“This is absolutely spot on,” one commenter wrote. I’m the mom with the mismatched bathing suit, hair is pulled up and looking at the moms who are put together so much more than I am. I spend so much time feeling like I’m not enough. This post is awesome! I’m glad I’m the one in the pool! Even with my messy hair and mismatched bathing suit.”

SOURCE: FACEBOOK

While so many people were grateful for Jen’s post and knew exactly what she was trying to say, some believed that in the process of trying to encourage some moms, she shamed another. One commenter wrote, “I understand what you are trying to say with this post, but honestly I can’t get past the fact that in trying to encourage moms, you have inadvertently confirmed a lot of other mothers’ anxiety: ‘If I see you out in public and you are off your mom game for 10 minutes, I will publicly shame and judge you for it on social media.’ You have no idea what kind of parent this woman is based on your 10-minute observation of her, and yet you have held her up on social media as an example of bad parenting for thousands of people to comment on.”

The commenter continued, “Yes, we shouldn’t judge ourselves based on what we see on social media, but we also shouldn’t judge other people based on a 10-minute view of their lives. This is why so many women feel the need to portray themselves as having it all together.”

I understand what this commenter is getting at. In trying to remind people that what we see on social media is curated, it can seem like Jen is criticizing that mom for curating a life on social media at all and holding those that don’t to a higher value.

But Jen’s follow-up post makes it clear that she never meant to judge the mom in the scenario. All she was aiming to do was to remind people that when you’re scrolling through Instagram, you’re only seeing a snapshot. Not the whole picture of any situation.

“I, in no way, meant to shame or judge this pool Mama for her actions,” Jen writes. “I don’t know why she behaved the way she did and honestly I don’t care. I’m sure she had her reasons. We all do. She is just a Mama doing her best too. Shaming her was not what my post was about. I was not pointing fingers. I was not insinuating that I was better than her. I was not pinning stay-at-home moms against working moms. I was not shaming anyone for taking photos of themselves or their children… Please don’t hate on others for doing things differently.”

She continues, “The sole intent of my post and what I hope you take away from it is this… The beautiful, perfect, filtered photos that pass by our eyes as we scroll on social media are not a full depiction of real life… Is there harm in taking photographs of those moments and sharing them? No! Y’all know that I do it too. The ONLY take-away that I intended…is not to compare your whole self and your whole life to one perfect moment that you see on social media.”

Denver police are handing out gift certificates to auto parts stores instead of ‘fix-it’ tickets

Imagine if you were driving around, saw the flashing lights of a cop car behind you, and didn’t immediately think you were in trouble. What if your first thought was that someone was here to help instead of giving you a ticket.

That’d be pretty great, right?

Police in Denver, Colorado have a new program designed to improve public safety as well as the relationship between the police and those they serve and it’s something everyone can get behind. Instead of issuing tickets, officers will now have the option to hand out $25 gift cards in situations where people are pulled over for minor “fix-it” violations.


The program is a partnership with Advance Auto Parts which donated 100 $25 gift cards to the police department.

“Working together is how we create stronger communities, and stronger communities are safer communities,” Denver Police Chief Paul Pazen said during the announcement.

The Denver Police Department has already begun handing out the gift cards and the response has been very positive for all involved. It has to be a lot more rewarding for a police officer to shock someone with a gift card instead of ruining their day with a fix-it ticket.

“We’ve done this already. One of our traffic officers has pulled some folks over to give them warnings on defective vehicles, handed them a card, instead of a ticket, and the smile that these folks have, not only the motorist but also the officer,” Chief Pazen said.

“So, Advance Auto Parts’ donation not only helps us get greater compliance with the motoring public, but it also helps us build and strengthen relationships with our community,” the Chief continued.

Advance Auto Parts sees the program as a way to improve public safety as well.

“I think the importance of ensuring that the vehicles are safe going down the road prevents other things from happening,” a representative from the company said.

It’s unclear whether the program will last once the 100 gift cards are given away.

Let’s face it, the big reason that many people drive with a broken head or tail light is they may not have the money to fix their car, but they still have to get from point A to point B. By giving them a gift card, police help to lift them up instead of turning them into criminals.

A fix-it ticket that doesn’t get taken care of on time in some states can cost people a few hundred dollars. In some places, it can even lead to jail time.

The partnership between the Denver Police and Advance Auto Parts is a great reminder that protecting and serving the public can sometimes mean giving them a leg up instead of issuing a fine or worse. Let’s hope the program continues in Denver and beyond and can help heal the frayed relationship between citizens and law enforcement.

Matt Damon Fell In Love With Ireland And Wants To Move There After The Pandemic

Due to the pandemic, Matt Damon spent over three months living in Ireland while filming for The Last Duel shut down, and while the delay wasn’t what anyone on the production expected, Damon loved it. In fact, he’s thinking about moving to the country once the lockdowns in Europe are over.

While stopping by the WTF with Marc Maron podcast, Damon gushed about his Ireland experience, which happened just as production for The Last Duel had wrapped up in France. As the actor tells, the cast, crew, and director Ridley Scott had all rented houses for three months in Ireland because they were close to the studio. But when the lockdown prevented them from filming, Damon and a “few in our little group” decided to wait it out and stay, which made him start to have thoughts of making Ireland his permanent home. Via Buzz.ie:

“When we did the lockdown, we started the lockdown in Ireland because we were shooting a movie. It was so f*cking great. We loved it there so much and I was kind of in the back of my head, ‘I could move here. I could live here.’ It’s beautiful.”

Matt reiterated his love for Dalkey, his adopted home. “It’s about 45 minutes outside Dublin, it’s this beautiful seaside town and it was beautiful.”

According to Damon, he’s already promised his kids that they’ll come back and drive all over the island when the pandemic is over. And, hey, maybe they’ll do a little house hunting while they’re there.
