"My book is about things that happened in the past - but that's in the past! Move on! But only after you buy my book. Oh, and the press should stop dredging up the past. Instead, just read about it in my book. But then, move on!"

They probably modeled Deuce Bigelow on him....

Her being with Colin Farrell isn't news, is it? I remember them being pretty cozy for a hot minute...

Was the JT baby the only thing they had to hype this book up with? That's disappointing...

I'm reading some excerpts and they are ridiculous.
"I took OTC energy suppliments so my dad threw me in rehab with scary "real" addicts" while accusing her of being out-of-control aka he bf supplied her with OTC shit that could have had contra-indications with her prescription meds when she's already had issues taking Adderall -type stimulates & she was sent to come off them under medical care.

Kevin accused her of being "out of control" but she was seen driving & being chased by the paps with a very small child of her lap & had pre-& post-partum depression. 🤷


Maybe she's going for comedy gold?
The main theme I am getting is that the people around her accuse her of being out of control and she says she isn't but then details that she is but with her "reasons"...

Britney Spears stopped by cops for a second time in 2 months ahead of bombshell book release

Britney Spears has racked up another traffic offense ahead of the release of her highly anticipated memoir.

Page Six can confirm that the pop star was pulled over earlier this month by California Highway Patrol for making an improper turn.

The “Stronger” singer was slapped with a $327 fine for crossing over double lines, per court records obtained by TMZ.

Her reps did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

The “Toxic” hitmaker, 41, was previously issued two separate violations on Sept. 10 for driving without possession of a license and failing to provide proof of insurance.

As a result, she had to pay $1,140 in fines

Spears’ attorney, Mathew Rosengart, exclusively told Page Six at the time: “Britney at all times had a license and insurance; this is the functional equivalent of a parking ticket.”

A source also confirmed to us that the “Lucky” songstress “had and has insurance and a license.”

According to the court records, Spears had an “appearance” and “due date” set for Tuesday — the same day her memoir, “The Woman in Me,” hits stores.

However, an insider told Page Six that she was not required to appear in court and her outstanding balance could be paid online.

The music icon only regained her freedom behind the wheel in 2021, just months before her controversial conservatorship was terminated.

In her forthcoming tell-all book — which has already hit No. 1 on Amazon’s bestsellers list — the singer reveals why she “went along” with the conservatorship.

“I did it for my kids,” Spears writes, per an excerpt obtained by CBS News.

The Grammy winner, who shares sons Sean Preston and Jayden with ex-husband Kevin Federline, temporarily lost custody of her children in 2008 following a series of public mental breakdowns.

“Because I played by the rules, I was reunited with my boys,” she adds.

Novinote:- because she took her meds & was no longer a danger to herself or her kids.

Yes I got the free month of Audible just to get this book for free. Go ahead, send your adulations now my fellow gossip rockers. This is of course the day I have been waiting for, because I'm completely lifeless and this is going to be a lot of fun.


BS reads the first ten minutes, then Michelle begins earning her attention whore wings by taking over the family bash fest. Don't worry folks! We're in good hands with Michelle. I didn't think I'd meet a bigger attention whore then Britney Spears but God damn, then came Michelle. I always thought she had money herself so she's only doing it for the attention sly little girl.

I had to stop 12 minutes in. Nothing but poor me Britney and huge shitty dumps on her family.

I am going to be listening on another device tomorrow so I can dictate my running rebuttals of the BS BS train. And of course Rush right back over here on my day off to share my findings with my favorite gossip group on the planet!!!!! I might even make a video of it you never know. May even just read it my own dog gone self. If I do read it my own doggone self, I'll upload portions of it that I think are juicy or maybe the whole thing and we can all enjoy it here together my friends.

Same.  In a trainwreck kind of way.  Kind of like her IG, unless it happens to be one of the 382 times she deleted it and there's nothing there.

Whats’s wrong with family bashing when your family is pretty verifiably awful?

I’m also morbidly curious about this, and it’s probably the first time I’ve been tempted by an audiobook.

Britney Spears has revealed that she slept in the same bed with her brother until she was in sixth grade - when her mother, Lynne Spears, finally forbade it.


The singer, 41, opened up about her 'extremely close' relationship with her older brother, Bryan Spears, in her new memoir, The Woman in Me, and she explained that she started sharing a room with him after he was involved in a gruesome accident that resulted in him 'breaking nearly every bone in his body.'


The Hit Me Baby One More Time songstress explained that the incident made them so 'much closer' since they 'bonded' over her 'sincere, genuine recognition of his pain.'

'[My brother and his friends] had been trying to mow down some tall grass with their four-wheelers,' she recalled.

This seemed like a fantastic idea to them because they were idiots. Inevitably, they couldn't see one another through the tall grass and had a head-on collision.'

After he was released from the hospital, the hitmaker explained that she didn't want to 'leave his side' so she began 'sleeping beside him every night.'

She admitted that while she was given a separate mattress, she would often 'climb into his bed' and 'hold him' because she wanted to 'bring him comfort.'

'He couldn't sleep in his own bed because he still had the full body cast. So he had a special bed, and they had to set up a little mattress for me at the foot of it. Sometimes, I'd climb into his bed and just hold him,' she wrote.

'Even as a very little girl, I knew that - between the accident and how hard our dad was on him - my brother had a difficult life. I wanted to bring him comfort.'

This went on 'for years' - up until it became time for her to enter middle school, when their mom finally put an end to it.

'Finally, after years of this, my mom told me, "Britney now you're almost in sixth grade. you need to start sleeping by yourself,"' she continued.

'I said no. I was such a baby - I did not want to sleep by myself. But she insisted, and finally I had to give in.'

The pop star said that once she got used to sleeping in her own room, she came to 'enjoy having her own space.'

That’s pretty sweet actually. Despite the daily fail’s attempts to try to make it sound salacious that siblings shared a bed.
