BRITNEY BARES ALL Recently freed Britney Spears has sparked concern from fans after posting a naked photograph of herself on Instagram – twice. The ‘Hit Me Baby One More Time’ singer could have been forgiven for doing the original post - marking her recent 40th birthday and new-found freedom the first time 2 weeks ago but the bizarre second time post (on May 28th) appeared way too much for fans to bare. “Girllllll put some clothes on and have some morals for yourself! Didn’t want to scroll just now and see one of my favourite singers naked!” said one fan. Another said: “Not AGAIN!! Enough already with the naked pics.” A third joked: “Can we get a different set of pictures please. Just to switch it up.”
Although Britney was covering her modesty with heart emojis, which could have been bigger to cover more in our opinion (!) her behaviour has had fans questioning whether the star is actually OK. In November last year the 13-year conservatorship that had been hanging over the troubled singer was finally lifted by the LA Courts. Her father, Jamie Spears, was no longer able controls her assets, her fortune, her medication and ultimately her decision making. An embittered Britney said her family and those involved in the conservatorship “should all be in jail” following the ruling. “Honestly, it still blows my mind every day I wake up how my family and the conservatorship were able to do what they did to me, it was demoralising and degrading!” Demoralising and degrading it may have been - but so is posting naked pics on the internet!
STYLES DONATES £1M TOUR PROCEEDS FOLLOWING TEXAS TRAGEDY Singer Harry Styles (and concert promoters Live Nation) will be donating the proceeds from his ‘Love on Tour’ North America dates to the non-profit gun safety organisation, Everytown. Harry, aged 28, has also added new dates to this tour which sold out in minutes. At least £1m will go to support the gun safety fund following the Texas tragedy, where 19 school children and two teachers were gunned down by an 18-year-old (as yet to be named) killer. Talking to Instagram on Friday, the former One Direction singer said to his 45 million fans: “Along with all of you, I have been absolutely devastated by the recent string of mass shootings in America, culminating at Robb Elementary in Texas. On our North American Tour, we will be partnering with Everytown who work to end gun violence,

donating to support their efforts, and sharing their suggested action items. Love H.” Harry captioned the post “End Gun Violence” and put a call to action to those that want to help Everytown and their movement by donating funds.
