Janet Jackson Spoke About Her 2004 Super Bowl Performance And Her Relationship With Justin Timberlake - BuzzFeed

Image
"This whole thing was blown way out of proportion." Janet Jackson looked back at her 2004 Super Bowl Halftime Show and her relationship Justin Timberlake in her new documentary, Janet. Donald Miralle / Getty Images During her performance, Justin ripped off some fabric from Janet's outfit, and briefly exposed her breast. In the aftermath, Janet and Justin's careers took remarkably different turns — Justin was able to joke about the incident while Janet's career never quite recovered, likely driven by a mix of industry sabotage and boycotts. Jeff Haynes / AFP via Getty Images Fast forward to last year, Justin issued a public apology to Janet following the release of the documentary Framing Britney Spears , writing, "I specifically want to apologize to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson both individually, because I care for and respect these women and I know I failed."

Weekend Box Office Hammered By Nor’easter & No New Wide Releases, But ‘Spidey’ Still Chasing ‘Avatar’ – Sunday Update - Deadline

Image
Sunday Update:   Despite movie theaters in the Northeast being closed due to Winter Storm Kenan, Sony’s  Spider-Man: No Way Home   is coming in above the studio’s estimates yesterday morning with $11M in its seventh weekend. How is that? Essentially, the Jon Watts directed MCU title is seeing 24% of its business from the West with 23% from the Southeast and 15% from South Central outside the snow zone. Interestingly enough,  Spider-Man: No Way Home,  despite movie theaters continuing to be shuttered today in the Northeast, is over-indexing in the region at 13.1% versus all other titles at 12.3%. In NYC, big cinemas such as the E-Walk, Lincoln Square and Union Square remain in operation despite Central Park seeing over seven inches of snow. This puts  No Way Home  at $735.9M stateside with $24.6M left to go before it beats James Cameron’s  Avatar .  Meanwhile,  Spider-Man: No Way Home  has crossed a billion overseas putting its g...

Joni Mitchell removes music from Spotify in protest of Joe Rogan’s podcast - The Verge

Image
Joni Mitchell has decided to remove all of her music from Spotify, joining Neil Young in protest of Joe Rogan’s podcast that Young says spreads misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccines (via The Wall Street Journal ). “I’ve decided to remove all my music from Spotify,” The Canadian singer-songwriter writes in a post on her website. “Irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives. I stand in solidarity with Neil Young and the global scientific and medical communities on this issue.” Mitchell also includes a link to an open letter to Spotify, which was signed by dozens of medical and scientific professionals in mid-January. It urges the platform to establish a misinformation policy to address the “misleading and false claims” propagated by the Joe Rogan Experience , such as Rogan’s suggestion that healthy young people shouldn’t get vaccinated against COVID-19. Earlier this week, Young gave Spotify an ultimatum: keep his music or Rogan’s podcast. Spot...

Britney Spears Accused Jamie Lynn Spears Of Lying About Her Experience With Her Former "Zoey 101" Costar, Alexa Nikolas - BuzzFeed

Image
"You're lying, just like you lied about Alexa Nikolas." Image Group La / Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images For context, in the memoir Jamie Lynn accused Alexa of spreading mean rumors about her on the set of the Nickelodeon show. However, Alexa has long said that Jamie Lynn was the one who bullied and excluded her on the show — and in turn accused her of "lying up a storm" in her book. Michael Bezjian / WireImage / Getty Images One thing that both Jamie Lynn and Alexa agree on is that Britney spoke to Alexa following a conversation with Jamie Lynn — but their accounts differ hugely. Alexa described the incident as a terrifying moment where Britney was "screaming" and "berating" her, while Jamie Lynn implied that Britney simply did it to defend her after she went to her for "guidance." Todd Plitt / Getty Images The key difference here is whether or not Jamie Lynn was honest wh...
