Britney Spears’ Book Already Number 1 Months Before Its Release
In one week, she went from getting publicly smacked to becoming a best selling author without even having a book out. I guess you can say it’s been a WiLD week for Britney Spears.
Britney Spears Memoir
On Tuesday, Spears built some anticipation on her social media by posting one of her infamous dancing videos that eluded to an announcement at 6pm. That is when we found out that she had been working on a book. In a press release from Gallery Books, the tell all autobiography will reveal “for the first time her incredible journey (and) strength at the core of one of the greatest performers in pop music history”. The book titled “The Woman In Me”, is set to drop on October 24 and is sure to be in high demand. So much so, it has already charted number 1 on Amazon’s New Releases In Book List. Finally, some good news for Spears! Even though she is still managing to catch beef from the smack in Las Vegas.
Britney Spears Slams Radio Hosts
Does Britney have beef with Orlando and the Freakshow?! We aren’t really sure, but it is evident she has been listening to the radio lately. Spears took to Instagram and roasted a radio station that had claimed she “deserved to be smacked” in Las Vegas during the incident with NBA star Victor Wembanyama’s security guard. Initially, Spears accused the security guard of slapping her, but video surfaced over the weekend telling a different story. A security camera caught Spears sneaking up to Wembanyama and attempting to tap him from behind. As a result, his security guard took a swipe at Spears which made her hit herself. She goes on to say “I didn’t appreciate the people saying I deserved to be hit because no woman ever deserves to be hit.”

Threads: Celebrities Join Threads - The 'Twitter Killer' App
Threads, the Twitter alternative created by Meta, has been officially released and gained ten million sign-ups within its first seven hours, as confirmed by CEO Mark Zuckerberg. The platform has already garnered significant support from various celebrities.
If you take a peek at Threads, you’ll notice that it shamelessly resembles Twitter. It’s no secret that Meta is aiming to lure users away from Elon Musk’s struggling platform. The site made its grand debut, poised to give Twitter a run for its money in a way that previous alternatives like Mastodon and Bluesky couldn’t quite achieve.
The “Twitter Killer” App
Created by the Instagram team, this fresh app offers a platform for sharing text updates and participating in public conversations. With this app, you have the freedom to create posts up to 500 characters in length, incorporating links, photos, and videos that can be up to 5 minutes long.
Since Musk assumed control of Twitter late last year, numerous Twitter users have expressed their desire for an alternative platform. Technical glitches and frequent policy changes have prompted some prominent Twitter users to seek greener pastures elsewhere.
Meta has a distinct advantage in terms of its existing user base. With over 2 billion active Instagram users worldwide, Meta aims to attract a significant portion of them to its new app. In contrast, Twitter’s active user base stands at approximately 250 million.
Zuckerberg’s hopeful
“It’ll take some time, but I think there should be a public conversations app with 1 billion+ people on it,” Zuckerberg said in a Threads post. “Twitter has had the opportunity do this but hasn’t nailed it. Hopefully we will.”
The roster of celebrity names jumping on board continues to grow. Shakira, Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian, and Kourtney Kardashian, have started accounts. So has Will Smith, and Jennifer Lopez, who have all hopped on the Threads and already have tens of thousands of followers.
Thanks to the carryover of usernames and verification from Instagram, Threads can effortlessly assemble an impressive lineup of famous faces and brands. And it’s not just Hollywood stars joining the party. Jack Harlow, Zayn Malik, Gordon Ramsay, Karlie Kloss, Liam Payne, Ellie Goulding, and even the Dalai Lama have been spotted logging on to the app.
Take a look at celebrity posts extending a warm welcome to the new app.
