Even though she’s a #FreedBritney, it doesn’t always feel that way. Last week, Britney Spears got a surprise visit from a police officer who was sent to her home after fans demanded that law enforcement conduct a wellness check on the Princess of Pop. Their concern over the “Gimme More” singer kicked into high gear after she posted some cryptic stuff to her Instagram before deleting her profile entirely. But now Britney is saying that her fans have gone too far and is respectfully asking for them to back off. So is it time for the Britney army to “stan” down?Listen ad free with Wondery+.

Well, the nominations for the 95th Annual Academy Awards are out! This year’s ceremony will see a lot of fresh faces - 16 out of the 20 acting nods went to first-time nominees. Among the newbies are movie veterans Jamie Lee Curtis and Michelle Yeoh. Michelle also made history as the first Asian woman ever nominated for the Best Actress award. But it wouldn’t be the Oscars without controversial snubs…and this year is no different. There are no women nominated for Best Director, despite being at the helm of some of the most celebrated films of the year. So it looks like when it comes to the Oscars, the more things change, the more they stay the same.Listen ad free with Wondery+.

Kylie Jenner has roared into Paris Fashion Week. The make-up mogul appeared in the Schiaparelli Haute Couture show on Monday sporting a look that turned heads and dropped jaws - a dress which featured a massive, life-like lion’s head. Even though it was faux, the look caused outrage from people saying it promotes animal cruelty. But shockingly, PETA – the largest animal rights organization in the world – applauded Kylie’s wild dress, saying it’s a statement against trophy hunting. This comes only days after Kylie finally publicly dropped her baby’s name (Aire) after a year. So we wonder, is Kylie’s lion head-dress a way to pivot the convo, a simple fashion faux-pas, or something else?Listen ad free with Wondery+.

Charges are being brought to the fatal 2021 incident on the set of the indie film “Rust.” The New Mexico district attorney announced yesterday that she will be charging Alec Baldwin, who stars in and produces the film, with two counts of involuntary manslaughter over the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Halyna tragically died after a prop gun Alec was handling, which somehow had a live round in it, discharged and hit her. Alec has insisted this was all a horrible accident, but the DA says Alec doesn’t get a “free pass” just because he’s a star. We don’t know what the verdict will be, but we wonder - will these charges lead to safer conditions on sets?Listen ad free with Wondery+.

Hell hath no fury like Shakira, Shakira! In June of last year, the “She Wolf” singer split from her longtime partner, footballer Gerard Piqué, after she found out he’d been having an affair. Apparently Shakira discovered Gerard was sneaking around after realizing that - while she was away - someone was eating her favorite strawberry jam. Now Gerard is toast, and Shakira has channeled all her breakup rage into a new diss track directed at her ex and his new girlfriend. And she has been blasting that song from her Barcelona home for all her neighbors to hear. Yeah, Shakira’s clearly in her feelings. But are we seeing a breakup breakdown, or an empowering Shakira shakeup?Listen ad free with Wondery+. Join Wondery+for exclusives, binges, early access, and ad free listening.

Jeremy Renner’s 2023 got off to a terrifying start. On January 1st, the “Avengers” star sustained horrific injuries when he was run over by his 14,000-pound snow plow while trying to clear a driveway for a relative. Although Jeremy was in critical condition after sustaining blunt chest trauma and various orthopedic injuries, he’s on the road to recovery and has finally returned home, after a several-week hospital stay. Fans and A-listers alike are happy to see Hawkeye on the mend, but we wonder how long it will take for this superhero action star to regain his fighting form.Listen ad free with Wondery+.

Looks like when Andy Cohen’s not at the wheel, he can swerve out of control. When the “Watch What Happens Live” host appeared on HBO Max’s “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace,” he was the one answering the questions, not asking them. And it didn’t go well, as he was grilled about his support of his convicted RHOSLC star, Jen Shah. As Andy tried to defend his previous comments, it only got worse. He looked awkward and embarrassed while trying to answer Chris’s tough questions. After watching him squirm under pressure, we gotta wonder – is Andy’s judgment clouded because of his success as a reality TV producer?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Yesterday, Lisa Marie died in the hospital shortly after suffering cardiac arrest at her Los Angeles home.
