Britney Spears apologizes for smoking on plane, claims ‘weird' flight attendant tried to ‘embarrass' her

Britney Spears is sorry to those she 'offended' by smoking on a charter plane recently, but claims she is not responsible for lighting up in the first place.
'My friend put it in my mouth and lit
it up for me so I was like OH SO THIS IS A PLANE WHERE YOU CAN SMOKE !!!' the pop superstar, 43, wrote via Instagram on Friday alongside a video of her in the jet.
'I do so apologize to anyone I offended but the flight attendants always make sure I'm way at the back of plane anyways
!!!'
Spears brushed off the matter as 'actually incredibly funny' in the social media post and shared she had been on planes where smoking is prohibited but thought this one was different 'because the drink holders were on [the] outside of [the] seat.'
The 'Oops! … I Did It Again' singer also confessed to drinking alcohol on her flight from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico to LAX Airport, as sources told TMZ, but claimed it had been her 'first time drinking VODKA!!!'
'I swear I felt so SMART
!!! I was like wow what the heck is in there !!! I felt so clear and smart !!! And said I want a cigarette so bad !!!' she added.
Per TMZ's report, flight attendants thought Spears was acting 'difficult' — even though she put out the cigarette when they asked her to — so the authorities were called to meet them when they deplaned.
'I thought officials greeted me as support and I was like WOW I feel special !!! I've never been to an international airport
!!! Am I famous or something ???' the 'Piece of Me' singer joked.
'The flight attendant called officials because I smoked a cigarette !!! And embarrass me which jeez I thought was kinda much but she didn't like me the moment I got on plane !!!'
Spears then claimed that one flight attendant in particular had been giving her a hard time, and 'wouldn't let [her] get out of [her] seat' to stand up, despite no one else being on the plane for the first 20 minutes.
'She acted so weird about making sure I sat down and it was weird !!! I didn't like the way she put the seatbelt on me and invaded my space !!!' the 'Gimme More' singer said.
Spears concluded her post by referencing her jewelry, asking fans, 'Oh well you guys like my flower choker ??? B tiny is coming soon and thats something we have added !!! It's honestly adorable !!!'
Once the 'Toxic' singer got off of the plane, a customs employee reportedly let her go with a warning.
A rep for JSX, the public charter operator for the plane, previously told Page Six, 'We have no comment regarding the alleged events described by TMZ.' Spears' reps could not be reached for comment.

Is America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders season 3 happening? From cast to suspected release date

If, like us, you've already finished America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders season two, then you're probably wondering if and when the third season will be on Netflix to fill that Thunderstruck-shaped hole in your life. Given the success of seasons one and two of the show, which were released on 20 June 2024 and 18 June 2025 respectively, fans have got their fingers crossed that a third season will be on its way. Although, Netflix is yet to confirm (or deny) anything about the fate of America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. Regardless of that, our excitement levels for a third season are so high that we've scoured the internet to find everything we know about a possible third instalment. From cast to suspected release date, here's everything we know about America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders season three... As mentioned, there's been no confirmation from Netflix on a third season of America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, but the team has already been posting a lot on their socials about the audition process for the coming year. That's because what we've seen on season two happened last year so, if Netflix does film a series three, it'll follow those currently competing in the audition and training camp process. If America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders does get renewed for a third season, there will be some familiar faces we can count on seeing, including DCC director Kelli Finglass and head choreographer Judy Trammell. There may be a celebrity star too, if the group's Instagram is anything to go by – as singer, songwriter, and musician Kacey Musgraves has been involved in the training camp process as a guest judge. In terms of who will (or won't) make the cheerleading team in season three, there's been some spoilers shared on social media which point to who we can expect to see. On the official DCC Instagram, zooming into the above training camp post gives us a good idea of the returning cast who have made it through to this round, while a post about the 'rookies' of the season introduces us to newer faces. As well as the veterans who retired at the end of season two (those being Chandi, Jada, Armani, Zoe, and Amanda), some other cast mates are missing from the promo shot above. While we know that fan-favourite Dayton auditioned again this season, given that she's missing from the training camp image, we can assume she was cut. Taking to social media to comment on a fan's post about just that, she commented: "It wasn't in the cards for me, but I'm proud of how much I've grown. I feel it's important to note I did EVERYTHING they asked of me and tried my absolute best to fit their mould. I'm not wanted there and I'm hoping this takes me to where I truly belong!" Again, there's been no confirmation that an America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders season three is definitely happening but, if it does, we guess it'll be released in June 2026, based on the release pattern of seasons one and two. Until then, we'll be busy rewatching both seasons, catching old episodes of Making The Team, and following all the cast members on social media. Stream all episodes of America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders seasons one and two on Netflix now.

What Katie Sturino Wants You to Know About Her Body (and Yours, Too)

Katie Sturino is not a black swimsuit type of gal. As she wandered the racks at Bergdorf Goodman on a Thursday afternoon in late May, she wore a floral silk muumuu and a striped sweater, a bright green Hermès bag with candy-colored purse charms slung across her arm. She grabbed a stack of bathing suits — patterns, colors, a baby blue tweed bikini with buttons at the waist — and asked a sales associate hovering nearby if she could please grab them in the largest size the store has. The associate eventually returned without the requested models, instead proffering up a scant handful of shirred, red one-piece options, adding, unasked, that they came in navy and black, too. They were too small, but Ms. Sturino politely tried one on anyway. It fit, if fitting means technically being able to pull a garment over one's body. Ms. Sturino was unfazed, taking out her phone to snap a mirror selfie of the pair of us in matching vermilion Lycra. It's a scene that's played out dozens of times — both in her private life and in the videos she regularly broadcasts to more than 800,000 followers on Instagram: Ms. Sturino searching for clothes that fit her in major retailers, trying on a too-small option, and documenting the result. It's also a scene that unfolds in the opening pages of her first novel, 'Sunny Side Up,' out on Tuesday. The book tells the story of a dog-obsessed public relations pro turned body-positivity influencer slash entrepreneur who built a social media audience by posting candidly about her life. The protagonist's biography bears a close resemblance to that of Ms. Sturino — a dog-obsessed public relations pro turned body-positivity influencer slash entrepreneur who built a social media audience by posting candidly about her life.
