Kimberly Scott, the ex-wife of Eminem, is reportedly facing charges in Michigan after allegedly crashing her car while her son and others were passengers.

Scott, 51, has been hit with two misdemeanor charges, operating a vehicle while intoxicated and failure to stop or identify after causing property damage, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.

But Scott’s attorney, Michael Smith, told the publication that she hadn’t been arrested as of Tuesday, and he claimed not to be aware of an active warrant for her arrest.

However, Smith — who reportedly defended his client as ‘a good person, a beautiful human being’ and said the controversy was unfortunate — added that she would turn herself in if a warrant for her arrest is issued. 

The publication said that sources with direct knowledge indicated that Scott’s alleged crash occurred around 8 p.m. ET on Monday, February 16.

Scott — who had reportedly gotten sober after battling addiction for years — was said to have departed her home with her teenage son, Parker, who was accompanied by three of his friends in the car. 

The group was reportedly going out shopping, but their trip was suddenly interrupted when Scott allegedly crashed into a car that was parked on the street.

According to the publication, sources said Scott didn’t stop the vehicle and instead continued driving, but instead of continuing on the shopping trip, she drove back to her home.

Then Scott allegedly crashed her car a second time as she pulled into her driveway, but failed to stop and slammed into her garage door.

A photo dated from Monday that was obtained by TMZ showed what was allegedly Scott’s white Range Rover after it had crashed into the garage door, which was partially caved in.

The vehicle appeared to have a smashed passenger-side headlight, and the bumper was damaged and partially ripped off the vehicle, though it wasn’t clear which of the alleged crashes may have caused the majority of the damage. 

According to the publication, one of Scott’s neighbors, who claimed to have seen the crash, put in a call to police. 

After they arrived, Scott was reportedly taken to a hospital for unspecified injuries, then discharged early on Tuesday morning. 

Scott’s life was once a magnet for controversy, particularly during her romances with Eminem (real name: Marshall Mathers III), to whom she got married twice.

The two were introduced in 1987 and began dating years later, before tying the knot in 1999.

The marriage was short lived, and the two divorced in 2001, but they later reunited and remarried in 2006, only to split again later that year.

In 1995, Scott and Eminem welcomed a daughter, 30-year-old Hailie Jade Scott.

Scott later had her son Parker with another partner, and she and her then-boyfriend, Eric Hartter, welcomed their child Stevie Laine Scott in 2002, between her relationships with Eminem.

However, the rapper later adopted Stevie in 2005 after he and Scott reunited. Hartter died in 2019.

Eminem also adopted Alaina Marie Scott, 32, who was the daughter of his ex-wife’s sister Dawn Scott. 

He adopted her in the early 2000s, and Kim’s sister — who had battled drug addiction for years — died in 2016.

Tana Ramsay has revealed the things she said to Adam Peaty’s estranged mother Caroline before he married her ‘vulnerable’ daughter Holly. 

Olympian Adam, 31, tied the knot with Tana and Gordon Ramsay’s daughter Holly, 26, at Bath Abbey in December amid a bitter feud which saw his mother, 60, disinvited and sister Bethany the only relative in attendance. 

And Tana, 51, told Grazia how she praised Adam to his mother before the big day. 

She said: ‘I remember saying to Adam’s mum when I met her. “My God, you’ve got the most amazing son. I couldn’t think of anyone that is more perfect for Holly, who’s incredibly emotional, incredibly vulnerable in areas.”

‘She’s funny, brilliant and witty but she also needs keeping in line. Adam manages to do all those things. He’s been through a lot. She’s been through a lot. 

‘I remember saying to his mum that, in my mind, he’s perfect for our daughter. I was incredibly happy to meet her and tell her that.’ 

Gordon, 59, himself has previously defended the family when it comes to the Peaty/Ramsay fall out, calling it all ‘self-inflicted from their side’.

He said: ‘We sent a chauffeur-driven car for them to come to the engagement party and treated them like royalty. So to get that barrage of press was very hurtful. Tana took it very seriously.’ 

On Monday, Adam’s estranged mother Caroline posted a message about ‘dark times’ after Gordon hit back at claims he was a bully.

And after being branded a ‘bully’ by the Peaty family for claiming the fall-out was ‘self inflicted’, Gordon went on to accuse them of speaking ‘absolute nonsense’ and launching a ‘barrage of negativity’.

Caroline went on to share a tranquil image of sunset with the words: ‘You’re living proof that you can go through the darkest times and still come out kind, radiant, real and full of love.’

Responding to the family’s claim last week, the chef, who walked his daughter down the aisle, told The Sun: ‘I am certainly not a bully, and it is so appalling to even suggest there was any bullying,’ he sighed.

‘That’s absolute nonsense. It was sad to see that barrage of negativity that was self-propelled by them.

‘But Adam is an incredible young lad and he and Holly are a wonderful, happy, young couple.’

One relative claimed the TV chef had now ‘pushed the family too far’.

They said: ‘How bl***y dare they. The sheer gall of them.

‘The Ramsays did not treat Caroline like royalty at all – they treated her as though she was nothing. They ignored her existence and not once did Mrs Ramsay return any of Caroline’s texts.’

They told The Sun: ‘The get together lunch they promised on the day of the engagement never materialised either.’ 

Last month the family reportedly told friends they have ‘given up hope’ of reconciling with their son after Gordon’s latest social media comment.

The chef referred to himself as ‘dad’ in a comment on Adam’s wedding video where the Olympian said he would ‘always choose’ his new wife Holly.

An insider said: ‘It’s been a really emotional time for them as a family. They’re coming to terms with what has happened and that Adam has picked his side.

‘It’s dashed any hope of reconciliation in the near future. They’re keeping their heads down and trying to move on quietly. It’s clear Adam’s made his choice.’

Ramsay had commented on how beautiful his daughter looked during his wedding speech, telling Adam: ‘Look at Tana and that’s what you have to look forward to.’

The publication went on to claim that he couldn’t resist a sly dig at Adam’s absent parents as he told his daughter Holly: ‘Shame you don’t have the same.’

It was later revealed that the swimmer’s estranged mother had been left ‘outraged’ and ‘hurt’ that Ramsay had referred to their feud in his speech.

A family source told the Daily Mail she was left horrified by the moment in the speech and believed the celebrity chef had ‘pre planned’ the cruel swipe against her, calling it ‘cruel’ and ‘very hurtful’.

But Ramsay doubled down on his speech as he appeared on This Morning in January, insisting that what he had to say at the wedding reception was ‘perfect and warm’.

He said: ‘It’s tough, honestly. Being the dad with three daughters, you dream of that moment and that moment arrives and you’re just like a hot mess.

‘But, the speech was perfect, it went well and you’ve got to find that… You’ve got to be warm, emotional… It’s a tough gig.’

Adam and Holly showed their support for Gordon as they put on a united front at the TV chef’s new Netflix show launch party on Monday.  

Being Gordon Ramsay, which will drop on the streaming platform on Wednesday, follows his lead-up to opening his biggest restaurant ventures to date, the opening of five culinary experiences in one of London’s tallest buildings, 22 Bishopsgate.  

The TV star will also open the doors to his home over a six-month window, where he balances challenges as a husband and father to six children. 

Ant McPartlin has reportedly jetted out of the country as he struggles to deal with the grief of the loss of his beloved dog Hurley.

The TV presenter, 50, reportedly made a last-minute dash from the Britain’s Got Talent launch to be with his beloved dog Hurley, as the pooch passed away this week.

Ant had previously shared the pet with his ex wife Lisa Armstrong, with the pair entering a bitter custody battle over him following their split in 2018.

Now The Sun reports that he has had to leave the country as he can’t be around Hurley’s toys at home as it is too upsetting.

A source told the publication: ‘He’s inconsolable. He absolutely adored Hurley and, naturally, he’s devastated. It came as a massive shock to everyone.

‘Hurley has been a part of his life for 12 years, so to lose him like this is crushing. He said he couldn’t be around Hurley’s things as he grieved.’

A representative for Ant has been contacted by Daily Mail.

Ant previously credited Hurley with helping him to overcome his battle with drink and drug addiction.

It’s thought that Ant rushed to join ex Lisa at the vet hours after attending the BGT press conference in London.

The pair then made the heartbreaking decision to have Hurley put to sleep, after learning their 12-year-old dog was too ill to recover.

The Sun On Sunday reported that Ant and Lisa were both able to see Hurley beforehand, and the presenter was with the dog as he peacefully passed away.

It’s thought that the pair were being comforted by relatives, with Lisa posting a snap on Instagram on Saturday that showed a girl releasing hearts into the sky.

The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for both for comment.

Ant previously spoke about his bond with Hurley during an interview with The Sun On Sunday in 2019, following his stint in rehab.

He said: ‘There’s a loyalty and a love and a companionship with Hurley that you can’t describe. He never tells me off and is always pleased to see me.

‘I came out of a shop the other day and there was a woman on the floor cuddling Hurley.

‘She said to me, ‘It’s the dog from the papers!’ Hurley’s a celebrity.’

The Saturday Night Takeaway star split from Lisa in 2018 after 11 years of marriage and went on to marry his former personal assistant, Anne-Marie, in 2021.

It comes after  Lisa ahared a cryptic Valentine’s Day post this weekend following her ‘split’ from her boyfriend.

The Strictly make-up artist, 49, reportedly parted ways with Grant Kilburn, 34, recently just weeks after friends claimed she was ‘happier than ever’ in her new relationship.

Of their split, a source told The Mirror: ‘It’s very sad but it wasn’t to be.’ Daily Mail has contacted Lisa’s representatives for comment. 

And on Saturday, which was Valentine’s Day, she shared a quote to her Instagram Story which read: ‘Roses are flowers, pebbles are stones. Here’s a big shout out to those on their own.

‘Count yourself lucky and try not to sob. Look on the bright side, you’re not with a ***!’

Just weeks ago, insiders said Lisa had found a renewed sense of happiness and energy following her marriage breakdown to Ant in 2018. 

A source told the publication at the time: ‘She’s been so used to being in relationships where she played second fiddle.

Their romance was revealed by the Daily Mail back in December. Grant and Lisa are thought to have quickly hit it off after being introduced by Stacey and Kevin Clifton following one of their performances.

Stacey and Kevin, who share a two-year-old daughter, are currently starring in the stage production 2:22 A Ghost Story, which has been touring the UK since August 2025, and features Grant as a fellow cast member. 

Sources revealed that after the show, the couple introduced Lisa to Grant, who is 15 years Lisa’s junior. 

A source told the Daily Mail at the time: ‘Lisa and Grant have really hit it off – and it’s put the smile back on her face.’

Lorna Luxe left fans and celebrity pals in tears as she revealed her late husband John’s final words to her as she announced his death on Thursday. 

The influencer, 43, devastated her 1.7 million Instagram followers when she revealed John had died at the age of 64 following his lengthy battle with cancer. 

Alongside a picture of John beaming on holiday, she penned a lengthy caption that left fans in tears as she shared his final words. 

Lorna wrote: ‘The last conversation we had I asked him how he was feeling and he replied “rough but in love” and that was so him, to the point and choosing to put aside his fears to make me feel cherished and loved.’ 

John, who was 21 years Lorna’s senior, battled stage four adrenal cancer after being diagnosed in April 2023. The couple had been married for 16 years. 

Lorna revealed to her 1.6 million followers last month that John’s cancer had spread and treatment was ‘no longer an option’. 

Tragically, John passed away on Wednesday, with Lorna revealing: ‘I am heartbroken. We were together to the very end, at home, in our own bed and holding hands which is exactly what he wanted.’

She added in her tribute: ‘John and I were so grateful to the district nurses who came daily to support us and make him comfortable. 

‘Anna was his favourite nurse and the kindness she showed him was beyond, she was a real life angel. 

‘We couldn’t have had those last few days together at home without that care and my mum who has been with us keeping me strong when I needed to stay strong for John.

‘John you are a class act and I will love you forever’. 

Just two weeks prior, Lorna had shared a video of the pair enjoying their final date night before John succumbed to his cancer battle. 

Abbey Clancy, Molly-Mae Hague and Olivia Bowen were amongst the stars who were left in tears following John’s passing. 

A sweet tribute came from Sophie Hinchliffe, known as Mrs Hinch, who told Lorna that ‘millions of us are here to help hold you up’.

In the comments, she wrote: ‘Lorna I am so, so sorry. My heart truly dropped reading this. I’ve followed your page for such a long time, and the love you and John share has always been so inspiring and it always will be. No one can ever take away your memories, your love, or those quiet one-on-one conversations you’ll carry with you forever. Those are yours. Yours and John’s. Always. Sending you so much love, Lorna. Millions of us are here to help hold you up.✨ xxx’ 

Molly-Mae Hague was also among those who sent messages of support following the sad announcement, writing: ‘Heartbroken for you. Rest in peace John. I am so beyond sorry for your loss.’ 

Megan McKenna added: ‘I’m so sorry Lorna, sending so much love and strength. My thoughts are with you.’ 

Abbey Clancy said she ‘can’t find any words’ as she shared her love, writing: ‘Oh Lorna can’t find any words. Love you both ❤️ sending so much love ❤️.’ 

Further condolences came from Love Island stars Rosie Williams and Olivia Bowen. 

Olivia wrote: ‘My heart is so broken for you. You guys have the most beautiful love story & it always felt so light & warming to watch you together. You Sending so much love & strength. ❤️❤️❤️’.

While Rosie added: ‘I’m so so sorry Lorna. My heart is completely broken for you. Your love, admiration and care for one another was so clear to see. A love story for the ages. All my thoughts are with you during this unimaginable time. I’m so sorry.’

Former TOWIE star Lauren Pope described Lorna’s late husband as a ‘special soul’, writing: ‘Oh Lorna, I am so so sorry, he was such an angel on earth and it’s just so unfair. Sending you and your family all the love, he was just such a special soul ❤️❤️❤️’. 

Lorna and John’s love story captivated the nation, with the pair’s 21-year age gap and lavish lifestyle that they lived providing much of the influencer’s content.

Lorna and John met when she was 25 and in the midst of her eight-year stint as a Virgin Atlantic air hostess, before marrying in NYC shortly after and going on to live together in Hove, East Sussex, and later Horsham and Warwickshire.

While John previously worked as a banker, following his stage three cancer diagnosis in 2023 and Lorna’s continued success as an influencer, he gave up his job to focus on his health and helping his wife work.

The couple liked to indulge in posh hotel stays and ‘dirty weekends’ in far-flung destinations.

In the last few years prior to his death, Lorna and John said they made sure to live life to the very fullest.

Lorna previously said John had always treated her like a ‘princess’, proven by the lavish gift he got her when they first started dating.

When they first got together, John surprised Lorna by purchasing their first home as a surprise.

She on Instagram in January: ‘He was helping me flat hunt at the time and as soon as I turned up, I thought, I can’t afford this – and then he gave me a little smile and said “I’ve bought this for us” and that’s when I knew he was the one.’

Lorna added at the time: ‘One dynamic in our relationship that has never changed is that he organises everything. I just have to turn up and ideally look cute.

‘He’s been treating me like a princess since the day we met. I’m very happy about that. He will always find a way to surprise me, I could write a book on how John gets hotel upgrades.’

He also upgraded her diamond engagement ring for a 15-carat version to celebrate 15 years together.

She said that when they first met, she wasn’t earning very much money as cabin crew and John would spoil her by surprising her with gifts at the end of their date.

She said: ‘The first few months we got together and we went out, he would always give me a gift at the end of the date.

‘Usually make-up, sometimes skincare, I think he is the reason I started using ceramide. I would always look forward to them at the end of the night. 

‘I was cabin crew then so I didn’t earn much money. I was allowed to take him on trips with me, so that’s how we dated in the beginning.’

Danniella Westbrook has been on a journey to rebuild her face and confidence after her tumultuous history with substance abuse.

The actress, 52, became hooked on drugs at 14 after shooting to fame as Sam Mitchell in the BBC One soap EastEnders.

At the height of her addiction, it was reported she would take up to five grams of cocaine a day, blowing close to £250,000 on the drug.

Years of substance abuse caused severe facial damage, including the collapse of her nose after her septum deteriorated.

On Tuesday, Danniella, who is now sober, revealed she had gone under the knife once again as part of her ongoing bid to rebuild her face.

From reconstructive operations to cosmetic tweaks, the TV star has never shied away from sharing the full extent of her surgeries with fans. 

Earlier this week, Daniella underwent the knife for a full face, neck and brow lift in addition to a lip and nose reconstruction.

New pictures showed her wearing a hospital gown in her room before going for the surgeries. 

A full recovery from a face, neck and chin lift can take up to nine months.

The surgery was performed by Danniella’s trusted Surgeon Dr Parviz Sadigh, who has carried out operations on her in the past.

In an Instagram post shared last month, Danniella said: ‘A massive amount of love and respect to my Amazing surgeon @parvizsadigh for all his hard work.

‘Everyday I grow and glow xxxx thank you and roll on Feb for the next operation.’

Her latest operation is just one of many interventions she has had over the years. 

The soap star previously revealed she nearly died following a botched surgical procedure in 2015.

She suffered from severe facial bone degradation, which she attributes to osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis is a disease that causes bones to become weak and brittle.

Danniella was left with screws for teeth as her cheekbones ‘wasted away,’ and revealed she now wears a whole denture that sits on the roof of her mouth.

In 2018, she told The Mirror: ‘They need to take a piece of bone out of my skull and put a plate into my face but they’ve got nothing to stick the plate on at the minute because the bone’s not strong enough.’

While she was appearing on Celebrity Big Brother in 2016, she was rushed out of the house for emergency surgery on her teeth.

‘The bone hadn’t closed around the screws so they took me out of the house three times to a dentist, which they’re not meant to, because the pain was so bad,’ she said.

She ended up staying in hospital for seven weeks, during which she developed septicaemia.

‘I did nearly die, I had two lots of IV drips in each side and then they took all my teeth out again and gave me this denture which has broken my heart because I didn’t need all of my teeth out in the first place,’ she explained.

In 2022, the star revealed her desire to have her rib placed into her cheek to help reconstruct her face. 

‘I hate the way I look. I’m constantly made fun of, and trolled for it,’ she told The Sun.

‘People message me, saying: “You’re so ugly, you’re a junkie, you should just go and kill yourself.”

Danniella continued: ‘I’ve got to a point where looking like this upsets me, so I’m going to make a change — not because of what others think but so I can be happy with the way I am.’

She also noted at the time that it would help her breathing and sinus issues.

In 2023, Danniella had a thread lift, liposuction into her cheeks and lips, and fat grafting on her chin and jawline in Turkey.

In gruesome surgery photos, the actress is bloodied and bruised in her hospital bed and said when she first woke up, she looked ‘like she had done 10 rounds with Tyson Fury’.

Danniella said she has wanted to have the reconstruction done for the last seven years, but was unable to find a surgeon who would operate because her septum had completely collapsed.

She told The Sun: ‘I was very fearful. My mum and my son Kai were on the phone constantly – I wrote up a will before I left and my son is the executor of that.

‘But luckily I’m still here and I’ve come through the other side. Someone is looking over me. I looked like I’d gone 10 rounds with Tyson Fury.

‘But the swelling has actually gone down really quickly. I’m already happy with the results.’

Danniella said she paid for the surgery all herself despite being offered freebies from clinics all over the world, after a health scare the year before left her in intensive care because she struggled to breathe through her nose.

She previously revealed she needed five operations to correct her ‘collapsing’ face due to a previous cocaine addiction and osteoporosis, and was planning to have it done on the NHS.

She previously told The Sun in 2023: ‘I’ve spent the last seven years trying to get somebody to do it, but they said no in case it failed and they got struck off.

‘Plastic surgeons wanted £500,000 to change my face, so I thought I was never going to get it done. It was only because I went into intensive care before Christmas.

‘I couldn’t breathe because I had a cold. There was a build up of fluid and after I fell asleep I couldn’t wake up properly and ended up in ICU.

‘I was sent over to Aintree Hospital in Liverpool and it’s only because I was put in front of the right doctors, or else I’d still be waiting now to find someone. They’re doing it for me under the NHS now.’

However, just months after the surgery, the actress shared her regret over her fifth facial reconstruction in Turkey, which left her in agony.

Danniella, who cannot take pain relief medication due to her past cocaine addiction, because it contains codeine, said she woke up in agony and was left fearing for her life. 

She told OK!: ‘I had a surgical thread lift where they put over 1,200 threads into my face. They were also supposed to reconstruct my nose, which is what I went there for, but they haven’t done that.

The star said she was going back to her surgeon in Liverpool to get her nose fixed – saying they will rebuild all the bridge in her mouth and build up the front of her nose.

She said: ‘They’ve taken the fat out of my back, my sides and my stomach, and put it into my face to make it more symmetrical. But I feel like they’ve taken too much fat from my stomach. I’ve always had a six-pack, and I’ve woken up, and I’ve lost it.

‘I also have big lumps of fluid all over my belly. They’re like big tennis balls. It’s ruined my body. It’s going to take a lot of work to get it back to how I was. I’m 50 this year, and I wanted to be in the best shape ever.’

In June 2025, the actress revealed she’s finally getting her face rebuilt as she headed into ‘very long’ surgery after it was reported that she hated the result of her previous facial reconstructive surgery.

Taking to Instagram, she shared an image of herself clad in a hospital gown, noting that it was a ‘big day’ for her as she prepared to go under the knife once again.

She penned: ‘Big day for me heading down for a very long surgery right now to rebuild my face. Then I can get back to work and we can get on with our life together @chasarealtal. I love you x.’

Danniella is also no stranger to a boob job, having admitted to undergoing at least seven in the past.

Appearing on Channel 5’s Celebrity Botched Up Bodies, she told how she went from a 34B to a 34D, and up again to a 34DD.

The actress said she ignored her surgeon’s warnings when she asked him to boost her bust, as she wanted ‘huge footballs’.

‘He said this isn’t going to look right, you’re too small, your body frame’s not right… but I didn’t care, I literally begged him to do it,’ she explained. 

‘I went huge like footballs, I thought they were great.’ 

In 2018, Danniella disclosed that she’s had surgery she never needed, including liposuction on her knees.

‘I’ve had cosmetic surgery I haven’t needed, including seven boob jobs, an eye lift, a face lift, Botox and liposuction on my knees,’ she told The Sun.

‘I’d like to say that I wouldn’t have plastic surgery again in the future, but I probably would,’ she added.

Danniella’s latest surgery comes after she was rushed to hospital with breathing difficulties in December.

She was due on set for her new movie role Tales From The Trap but was then recast in the film amid health issues – which came after years of complications due to her collapsed septum.

Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail at the time, insiders revealed the star, who has not starred in a film or TV show since mid-2016, was forced to seek medical attention due to her respiratory struggles.

Tales From The Trap, where she was set to star opposite Love Island star Liv Hawkins, marked Danniella’s return to the screen, having scooped the role of a gun-selling, gangster granny – yet she has been recast by Slow Horses star Kim Tiddy.

A source close to Danniella said in December: ‘Danniella was rushed into hospital on Friday with breathing difficulties which meant she had to pull out of filming Tales From The Trap…

‘She was due to make her movie comeback as a gangster granny selling AK47s to the gangsters. It’s really disappointing as I am sure everyone was looking forward to seeing her play that part.’

Danniella last appeared on TV on Celebrity Big Brother in 2016, where she reached the final, finishing in first place.

She also competed on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2003, before going on to star on Dancing On Ice in 2010, and appearing on Channel 4’s Hollyoaks three years later.

Britney Spears has quietly cashed in on her pop legacy, selling off the rights to her iconic music catalog in a blockbuster deal.

The 44-year-old pop superstar put pen to paper on a sweeping agreement that hands over her ownership stake in decades of chart-topping hits – including …Baby One More Time and Toxic.

Legal documents show the catalog was sold to music publishing powerhouse Primary Wave, though the exact price tag has not been disclosed, TMZ reported on Tuesday.

The outlet’s sources described the transaction as a ‘landmark deal,’ with estimates placing it in the same league as Justin Bieber’s reported $200 million catalog sale.

The records reveal Britney signed off on the agreement on Dec. 30 – and the insider said she’s happy with the decision and celebrating by ‘spending time with her kids.’

Daily Mail has not received a response to its request for comment from reps for Spears.

Spears shares her two sons, Sean, 18, and Jayden, 17, with ex-husband Kevin Federline, whom she was married to for just under three years before their 2007 split. 

The pop princess now joins a growing wave of superstar artists cashing in on their catalogs, following major names like Bieber, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Neil Young, Shakira, KISS, Sting and Phil Collins. 

The trend has exploded in recent years as legacy acts lock in massive payouts for their music rights. 

Notably, Stevie Nicks sold an 80 percent stake in her publishing catalog to Primary Wave in 2020, with her copyrights reportedly valued at around $100 million at the time.

Spears’ catalog is widely regarded as one of the most valuable in modern pop, built on a hitmaking run that began with her 1999 debut.

Since 1999’s Baby One More Time, which sold over 10 million copies worldwide and spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, she has racked up 11 No. 1 singles, more than 30 Top 10 hits, and nine studio albums. 

Hits like Toxic, Oops!… I Did It Again, Gimme More, Circus, and Womanizer have all gone multi-platinum, with cumulative album sales exceeding 100 million worldwide.

Her songs have earned multiple Grammy nominations, MTV Video Music Awards, and Billboard Music Awards, and they continue to generate massive streaming revenue, with billions of streams across Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. 

In addition, her tracks are in constant rotation on radio, film, commercials, and TikTok trends, giving the catalog long-term commercial earning power that few artists can match. 

The catalog sale comes as the singer has reignited tensions with her family, taking fresh aim at those closest to her amid the lingering fallout from her conservatorship battle. 

Spears claimed she is ‘scared’ of her family and ‘lucky to be alive’ in a bombshell new social media post.

In a bombshell social media post, the pop superstar claimed she is ‘scared’ of her family and ‘lucky to be alive.’

Four years after ending her 13-year conservatorship, largely controlled by her father Jamie Spears, 73, Britney slammed her relatives for ‘isolating’ her and insisted they will ‘never take responsibility’ for their actions.

‘I’m incredibly lucky to even be alive with how my family treated me once in my life and now I’m scared of them,’ the singer wrote in a lengthy caption.

‘They will never take responsibility for what they did,’ she wrote, adding, ‘We can forgive as people but u don’t ever forget.’ 

Spears also revealed her latest health setback, explaining she hasn’t been able to dance after breaking her toe twice – just four months after suffering a ‘horrible’ leg injury.

Louise Thompson’s partner Ryan Libbey has admitted he has struggled to come to terms with the fact they are planning to use a surrogate to have another child.

The TV personality, 35, has been documenting her experience on social media after revealing her plans to expand her family, after almost dying while giving birth to her son Leo in 2021 following an emergency caesarean. 

After Leo’s birth, Louise went on to suffer with PTSD and post-natal anxiety due to her near-death experience and has since been diagnosed with Lupus, Asherman’s syndrome, suffered a second haemorrhage, and has also had a stoma bag fitted.

The couple recently explained how they are embarking on IVF and plan to use a surrogate to add to their family. 

Ryan has admitted though that it has taken him a long time to accept that Louise wants to have another child, and the fertility treatment his partner will have to endure. 

Louise broke down in tears in a recent episode of their podcast He Said She Said as Ryan explained: ‘I am still struggling to accept it.

‘My motivation to enter this journey with fertility and surrogacy is because you were effectively robbed of being a mum to a newborn because you were so unwell.

‘Regardless of what I’m about to say next, I think that is really, really sad and unfair, and not how it should be at all for any woman.

‘That alone is enough of a reason for me to… I don’t want to say go along with because that makes it sound like I haven’t considered it, but that’s enough pull for me to say yes to the idea of IVF and surrogacy.’

He then added though that surrogacy is ‘still a really f**king bizarre thing for me and I am still struggling to accept it but that does not detract from the reason for it’.

Louise told him that ‘nothing makes me happier than hearing you say that’, because she said that it helped her to hear him open up on his thoughts as previously he would shut down any conversation about adding to their family. 

‘If I tried to talk about it before, like in the car or something – I remember when we were going down to the Cotswolds – and you were like “I don’t want any of this, I can’t do it, you’re forcing me into something I don’t want to do”,’ she said.

‘I know now that you’re saying those things from a place of fear, and you’re pushing away the conversation because what you’re actually carrying is the fear that maybe we can’t make this work, because we’ve got a long journey ahead and also that you’re 50% of this, and there’s a contribution from both sides.

‘It’s going to require an awful lot of work in order for us to have another baby. But I feel like we have turned a corner with it. I feel like we are now really aligned.’

‘Surrogacy, and I don’t think we’ve really like said that out loud publicly, but that is going to be the only way that we will be able to have another baby and as you said it’s something that I think as like a man you really really struggle to to understand.’

Ryan explained though that his fears lie with the fact that Louise will be ‘voluntarily putting yourself back into’ hospital environments again.

‘When you put on a gown and have a blood test, that’s enough to send me off into a bad space,’ he admitted.

‘And then, seeing you laying in a bed after a procedure, like the egg retrieval, which is nothing compared to what you’ve previously had, still hurts me.’

‘It’s a very different thing being in it yourself and then witnessing someone you love going through something like that.’ 

Louise got tearful as she agreed, saying ‘it’s it’s a very different thing, isn’t it? Being in it yourself and then witnessing someone you love go through something like that.’

Taking to Instagram on Friday, Louise shared an update on her fertility journey as she announced herself and Ryan have one embryo ‘in the freezer’ after undergoing IVF. 

Sharing the news, Louise posted a picture of a bouquet of flowers Ryan gave her with the message: ‘You did it. One in the freezer for safe keeps x.’

She captioned the picture: ‘One in the freezer for safe keepy’s. ✨ Inside that sentence is a universe. If you’ve listened to the latest episode of our podcast then you might already know what this stands for.

‘For those of you that haven’t – Ryan isn’t always comfortable communicating about this fertility stuff at home… sometimes he’ll even threaten that it’s too much for him to handle, but this bunch of flowers was all I needed to reassure me that we’re reading from the same hymn sheet. And he is VERY good at using words when it’s really needed. 

‘This was NEEDED. You can imagine how much this bunch of flowers meant to me… even when exchanged in silence at the end of a very long grey working day.’

Louise continued: ‘In truth those words hold years of planning, weeks of needles (years including the biologic-jak inhabitor-biologic switch), scans, waiting rooms, clenched jaws, forced optimism, and tears, lots of tears. 

‘It’s the kind of bravery nobody gives you a medal for – and why would they because we’re chosen to pay to go through this process when we could just… not. We could just accept the cards we’ve been dealt. But I don’t want our past trauma to dictate our future.

‘For those who know this road well, it needs no explanation. Staring at wee sticks. Counting follicles like prayer beads. Tracking bloods meticulously. Learning a whole new language in the hope that it will help us edge closer to our goal.

‘By educating I thought I could control the outcome. But this isn’t predictable like other areas of my life. There is no playbook.’

Detailing their IVF journey, Louise added: ‘From our first cycle we went from seeing 20+ gooood looking follicles on the scan, to getting 8 eggs retrieved to holding onto hope that many of them would make it to day 5. 

‘I did a lot of research and looked at many many stats for people in a similar situation to me (and us), but every case is SO individual and we ended up with just one. One embryo. One possibility. Not the perfect outcome. Especially with an amh averaging 25.

‘It makes me wonder if something else is wrong. Not enough to say “we’re done”. But a chapter where something worked. And that feels like an ok place to start. So we’re letting ourselves process that.

‘One in the freezer. One in our hearts x.’

Olivia Colman has said she has always ‘felt sort of nonbinary’ as the actress opened up about her identity in a new interview.

Olivia, 52, who is best known for her roles in The Crown, The Favourite and Heartstopper and has been married to her husband Ed Sinclair for 25 years, said she has never felt comfortable with rigid gender roles, including in her own marriage.

The actress, who is promoting her new role in queer film Jimpa, explained: ‘Throughout my whole life, I’ve had arguments with people where I’ve always sort of felt nonbinary.

‘I’ve never felt massive feminine in my being female. I’ve always described myself to my husband as a gay man.

‘And he goes ‘yeah I get that’. And so I do feel at home and at ease.’ 

She added to Them: ‘I don’t really spend a whole lot of time with people who are very staunchly heterosexual… The men I know and love are very in touch with all sides of themselves.’

‘I think with my husband and I, we take turns to be the ‘strong one,’ or the one who needs a little bit of gentleness. I believe everyone has all of it in them. I’ve always felt like that.’

‘I’m not alone in saying, ‘I don’t feel like it’s binary.’ And I loved that. I came away from making this film with, Yeah, I knew I wasn’t alone.

Nonbinary is a term used to describe a person’s gender identity that falls outside the traditional male and female binary.

Olivia and Ed married in 2001, and share three children – Finn, 20, Hall, 18, and a ten-year-old daughter, after falling in love in the nineties while rehearsing for a Cambridge Footlights production of Alan Ayckbourn’s Table Manners. At the time, Olivia was studying teaching at Homerton College, Cambridge.

Ed was an actor before he became a screenwriter and film producer. He wrote the 2021 Sky drama series Landscapers starring Olivia and David Thewlis, and recently produced The Roses starring Olivia and Benedict Cumberbatch as a husband and wife at war. 

Recalling the first time she saw him, Olivia added: ‘I’d gone to two of the rehearsals and there was no one particularly fanciable there. Then I walked in and I saw his left-hand profile. 

‘At the time he was smoking a ciggie, his feet were crossed, and he’s got this lovely bump in his nose and I saw his side profile and just went, oh my God, I’m going to marry him. ‘I had proper thunderbolts: that’s him, that’s him! Poor thing, he didn’t know.’ 

In a typically self-deprecating manner, Olivia claimed that while she vividly remembers the first time she met Ed, the feeling wasn’t mutual. ‘He genuinely can’t remember it,’ she said. 

She previously told the Daily Mail in 2013: ‘My husband and I were very lucky. We met when we had nothing and we loved each other then. So we were all right.

‘We were 20 and he was also an actor. If you meet at that age then you’re fine.’

Last year Olivia revealed the surprising secret behind her long-lasting marriage, admitting that they don’t argue. 

‘It’s our 25th wedding anniversary next year. We’ve been together 31 years,’ Olivia told the Good Hang podcast. 

Asked why she thinks they’ve lasted so long, she replied, ‘We’re not big fighters, which apparently isn’t very healthy. 

‘We have learned over the years – but really late on actually – to sometimes [think], if that was annoying, just wait. 

‘And it doesn’t work for everyone, I know that, but I think it’s much better to wait until the calmer moments to go, ‘Can we talk about that moment? I did find that a little weird and is that OK that I’m saying this and yes I was a bit cross that day…’ 

The actress, who won the Best Actress Oscar in 2018 for her role in The Favourite opposite Emma Stone, added she’s still physically attracted to Ed all these years later. 

‘He’s my best friend and I fancy him, which is quite nice,’ she said. 

The couple married in 2001 after dating for seven years. She has previously said he plays a very supporting role at home. 

‘He’s always there when I’m feeling like I did a bad job or something, so we’re there to pick each other up,’ she has said. 

Joking about his career switch from actor to screenwriter, she added, ‘We worked out very early on that it’s much better if he’s a writer, I’m an actor and we don’t talk about it. It’s much easier not to talk about the work.’ 

Olivia’s comments come as she stars in new queer film Jimpa which tells the story of Hannah (Colman), mother to nonbinary child Frances (Aud Mason-Hyde), as they travel to Amsterdam to visit Frances’s grandpa Jim (John Lithgow).

When Frances decides they want to stay in Amsterdam to live with their grandfather, Hannah is forced to re-evaluate her parenting and her relationship with her child.

The film is directed by and based on Sophie Hyde’s real-life experience, with John’s character based on her own ‘gay activist’ father, and stars her own trans non-binary child Aud Mason-Hyde as Frances.

Olivia previously spoke to Vanity Fair about playing a character that was based on the film’s director.

She said: ‘I haven’t had that before. [Laughs] I felt quite nervous at the beginning, but very soon, Sophie just made you feel like you can’t go wrong. It’s your interpretation. It’s you doing it. And she just let me crack on with it, really.’

Olivia has previously won praise for her roles in LGBTQ+ fare, winning the Oscar for Best Actress for her role in period drama The Favourite, where she played Queen Anne, who engages in a same-sex affair with Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough.

She also starred as Sarah Nelson, the mother of bisexual teenager Nick in the Netflix series Heartstopper, and was lauded by fans for a heartwarming scene where her son came out to her. 

Brooklyn Beckham displayed his covered up tattoo tribute to his father Sir David during an outing in Los Angeles with his wife Nicola Peltz on Wednesday.

Last month the estranged son of Sir David, 50, and Victoria, 51, released a scathing statement where he publicly said he did not wish to reconcile with his family.

Brooklyn, 26, has now delivered another crushing blow to his father by altering his tattoo tribute to him.

The hot sauce owner’s large anchor tattoo that he has inked onto his upper right arm once carried the words ‘dad’ through it.

Directly underneath is the message ‘Love you Bust’ – Sir David’s endearing nickname for his first born.

However, on his outing with Nicola, Brooklyn’s tattoo had been altered with the original ‘dad’ altered to nondescript shapes and a star.

His dad’s nickname text is also faded and less prominent.

It also appears that Brooklyn has begun to remove his tattoo tributes to his siblings Romeo and Cruz, after having them added to his fingers in 2020.

During the outing, a thick line could be seen where Romeo’s name used to be on Brooklyn’s ring finger.

Brooklyn cut a casual figure in a white T-shirt and blue jeans as he held hands with his wife who was dressed in jeans and a cream crop top. 

Just a day previous, Sir David’s ‘Buster’ neck tattoo he had done in 2015 to honour his son was visible during his visit to Doha.

Last year, Brooklyn had his ‘mama’s boy’ chest tattoo tribute for his Spice Girl mother Victoria covered up.

Nicola’s billionaire father Nelson spoke about the family drama when he did a Q and A at WSJD’s Invest Live in West Palm Beach event on Tuesday. ⁠

Nelson said: ‘My daughter and the Beckhams are a whole other story and that’s not for coverage here today. But I’ll tell you my daughter is great, my son-in-law Brooklyn is great and I look forward to them having a long, happy marriage together.’

Nelson was also asked if he gave the couple advice in how to navigate a difficult situation. He replied: ‘I do. Sometimes they give me advice.’ 

Nicola’s father’s wealth eclipses that of his co-parents-in-law, with the businessman boasting a net worth of $1.6billion, in comparison to the Beckhams’ $680million. 

The Beckhams have maintained a stoic silence since Brooklyn released a damning statement in which he outlined his reasons for cutting ties with his family. 

Brooklyn’s parents and his siblings Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14, instead put on their own show of unity at Haute Couture Fashion Week in Paris. 

As the Beckham family were in France, Brooklyn and Nicola splashed out on dinner and wine at Meghan and Harry’s favourite California hotel.

The young couple were pictured kissing at the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito. 

San Ysidro Ranch is just around the corner from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who have also spent nights there.

There was a bottle of red open on the table and Brooklyn shared some pictures from the wine cellar, including one of the world’s finest, and most expensive dessert wines, worth £17,000 a bottle.

It is not known if the Peltz Beckhams bought the 1831 Château d’Yquem or the 1811 vintage next to it, which last sold at auction in 2012 for around £75,000.

Although if reports of Nicola’s £1million-a-month allowance from her billionaire father are to be believed, they could no doubt afford both.

Whatever they drank, the couple put on a show of unity – and romance – with a set of Instagram photos of their stay at San Ysidro, which can cost up to $2,595 a night.

In his statement, Brooklyn went as far as to say he has been ‘controlled by a family that values public promotion above all else’ and that since being with his wife Nicola, he has found ‘peace and relief’ after battling crippling anxiety.

He wrote: ‘I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private.

‘Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed.

‘I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.

‘For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family.

‘The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.

‘Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out.’

He continued: ‘My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped.

‘My mum cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress.

‘Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children. 

‘They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated.

‘My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since.’

While his parents are said to be ‘devastated’ by his comments, a source close to them said they would ‘welcome Brooklyn back into the fold’ should he wish to reconcile in the future. 

Newly single Millie Mackintosh broke cover on Thursday following her split from husband of seven years Hugo Taylor. 

The former Made In Chelsea stars, who share daughters Sienna, five, and Aurelia, four, confirmed their separation in January following what has been described as a ‘difficult’ start to the year. 

Venturing out in London, Millie, 36, looked downcast and concealed her wedding ring finger, after taking it off in previous days. 

She stepped out of her home alone minutes before Hugo left with one of their children this morning. 

Millie sheltered from the rain with an umbrella as she headed out in a white padded jacket, black leggings and Nike trainers. 

It’s understood that the couple have shared a series of discussions about their future. It’s also been claimed that Hugo has struggled with the star’s admissions about her sexuality. 

Millie’s outing comes two days after the couple quietly separated following a difficult start to the year.

She has recently shared a number of cryptic Instagram posts focusing on herself and explaining how she was prioritising her boundaries. 

The star also headed to India last week on a solo wellness retreat designed to ‘heal’ the nervous system. 

At the beginning of the year Millie hopped on the ‘What are you leaving behind in 2025?’ trend. 

Among a selection of snaps of herself she penned she would be leaving behind ‘relationships that cost me’ and ‘over-explaining my boundaries’. 

In now what appears to be a cryptic message she also added ‘not trusting my intuition,’ ‘guilt for choosing myself’ and ‘letting fear hold me back’ to her list. She concluded that 2026 would be the year of ‘calm, clarity and self-trust’. 

In another pointed post she wished her followers a happy new year as she gushed that she was ready to be ‘my own cheerleader’. 

In a lengthy caption she penned: ‘Wishing you all a very Happy New Year, I wanted to share some of the intentions I’m hoping to bring into 2026:

‘*Protecting my nervous system like it matters (because it does). *Saying no sooner. Saying yes more slowly. *Choosing consistency over intensity. *Building more of a connection with my audience . *Trusting myself without asking for permission. *Listening to my body, not overriding it.

Sadly, it seems like Millie and Hugo have been battling problems as a couple for a while. 

The TV star revealed Hugo threatened to divorce her three years ago during her battle with alcohol after a public row at a wedding.

While appearing on This Morning to promote her book – Bad Drunk – in January 2025 she spoke about the moment she decided to quit drinking.

She said: ‘It was making me really unhappy, it was really affecting my life, affecting my relationships, especially with my husband.’

Host Ben Shephard read out a quote Millie had previously made about an argument she and Hugo had at a friend’s wedding: ‘If you don’t stop drinking it’s going to end our marriage.’ 

Millie added: ‘It had got to the point where I had taken it too far and I’d really humiliated him. I was so embarrassed, and it was a couple of days after that when I got to the point where I said “enough is enough,” and that was two and a half years ago.’ 

She also admitted she used to ‘drunkenly snog girls’ at the height of her battle with alcohol. 

Having made the decision to go sober in 2022, Milie is said to have found being fully open ‘a lot to deal with,’ and insiders are now claiming that realising her sexuality led to a widening ‘gap’ in her marriage. 

They added to The Sun: ‘Part of her is always wondering if she missed out on a relationship with a woman and what that could have been like.’ 

Last year, in an interview on her pal Caggie Dunlop’s Saturn Returns Podcast Millie spoke openly about her drinking problems before going sober in 2022, and has since released a book about her struggles, titled Bad Drunk.

The TV personality revealed that during her teenage years, she struggled to express her attraction to women, and would only find the courage to ‘kiss’ them when she was drunk.

She went onto admit that she had developed ‘intimacy issues’ with women after being bullied at an all-girls’ school, and would upset her male partners by brazenly kissing girls when she was drinking.

Millie said: ‘As a teen when I would drink, I would make out with women, but that’s not something I felt confident to do when I was sober…

‘I had crushes on girls at school and I just didn’t have the awareness to go “I like girls as well”. I’d just have crushes and get all weird about them. I remember having sleepovers and going “I wonder if they’re going to kiss me”.’ 

Millie added that a lot of her struggles have been unpacked in therapy, telling Caggie: ‘I’ve explored a lot of my relationship to women, I was bullied so I definitely have intimacy issues with women, but there’s this attraction as well.’

She continued: ‘Obviously I’m married to a man, it’s not something that affects our relationship at all now, but looking back and realising that was one of the reasons I drank in a destructive way, because there was a part of myself I didn’t understand and I didn’t know how to express it and I felt scared to express it.

‘Every time I would drink I would just keep doing it, even if I was in a relationship.’

Sharing the moment she opened up to husband Hugo Taylor about her sexuality, she revealed that he was incredibly supportive. 

Sources close to the pair say they remain committed to co-parenting their young children, who continue to be their priority, and to maintaining a loving family life.

Millie and Hugo, who met as teenagers and first dated during E4’s Made In Chelsea, had been married since June 2018.

A source revealed: ‘Millie and Hugo are currently going through a separation and have sadly decided to split. 

‘They have known each other for many years, and in recent weeks, have had serious conversations about their future, ultimately deciding it’s better for them both to part ways. Their main priority remains their children and family life, and separating is not something they ever hoped would happen.

‘At present, they are considering what living apart might look like and how they plan to navigate co-parenting their young children. It’s been an incredibly difficult start to the year, and one they hope to continue managing in private.’ 

Millie first met Hugo as a teenager, and they began dating when she was 21, rising to fame together on the E4 reality series.

In 2013, the heiress married rapper Professor Green, 42, but the couple divorced in 2016, the same year she rekindled her relationship with Hugo.

The pair tied the knot two years later and welcomed their first daughter, Sienna, in 2020, followed by Aurelia in 2021.

In recent years, Millie has been open with her fans about her past struggles with alcohol, which led her to become teetotal and write the book Bad Drunk, as well as her journey in overcoming severe anxiety. 

Millie has spoken candidly about how she began binge drinking at a young age while at boarding school, using alcohol to cope with being away from home, bullying and her own insecurities.
