Pop star Britney Spears has reportedly checked into rehab over a month after she was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. The “Oops!… I Did It Again” singer was pulled over near her home in Ventura, California, on March 4. She was released the following day, pending a court hearing in early May.

Britney Spears Reportedly Checks Into Rehab Voluntarily

On Sunday, April 12, sources told Us Weekly that the “Toxic” singer had voluntarily entered rehab weeks after she was seen laughing and dancing on a yacht with her two sons, Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden James, 19.

Last month, an insider told the publication that the singer has been sober and has been attending AA meetings. It is not clear what prompted her sudden decision to enter rehab now.

According to a 911 audio call, the pop star’s car was seen speeding and driving “in and out of lanes.” The call operator also reported that the car was “erratic[ly] braking, swerving and driving with no tail light.”

She is scheduled to appear in court on Monday, May 4.

Britney Has Reportedly Been Struggling With ‘Bad Habits’ For Years

In late March, another source told Us Weekly that her friends and family were treating her sobriety as a “delicate” situation.

A second source claimed that “It wasn’t a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’ she would get arrested.” The insider claimed that she had been making a lot of “bad choices” since her divorce from actor Sam Asghari.

The two met on the set of her “Slumber Party” music video in 2016. He supported her through the end of her conservatorship in 2021, and they married the following year; however, he filed for divorce in 2023, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.

Britney Spears Felt ‘Invincible’ Following The End Of Her Conservatorship

Another source claimed that she felt “invincible” ever since she was freed from her court-ordered conservatorship, which started in February 2008 and lasted about 13 years.

“She has this tendency to think she’s kind of invincible, especially since she’s been free from the conservatorship,” the source told the publication. “For a while, she felt like there were no real consequences, but lately, it’s started to catch up with her.”

One insider claimed that pills are her “real vice” and claimed that she has “been privately struggling with it for two to three years now.” They went on to state that she has  “started falling back into old habits” since she stopped being drug tested following the end of her conservatorship.

Britney’s Former Lawyer Is Still Proud Of Her

After her court-appointed attorney, Samuel D. Ingham III, resigned, the “Crossroads” actress retained Mathew Rosengart to see her through the end of her conservatorship. The former federal prosecutor had her estranged father, Jamie Spears, suspended as her conservator two months before a Los Angeles judge terminated the conservatorship.

He helped her obtain several lucrative deals, including the rights to her bestselling 2023 memoir, “The Woman In Me.” He stepped down from his role the following year, after Britney and Jamie settled their court case and officially ended her conservatorship.

Mathew Rosengart Praises Britney Spears As An ‘Icon’

In a brief statement made approximately two weeks after her arrest, Rosengart told Us Weekly that it was an “honor” to work with her and said that he was certain that Britney would “take the right steps” following her arrest.

“It was my great honor to work with and protect Britney as her litigator, and I will always be proud of her and the work we did together, ranging from helping, at her request and direction, to restore her freedom, civil rights and civil liberties after a 13-year conservatorship that stripped her of those rights, to many other matters,” he said.

“Britney is and always will be an icon,” he continued. “While I do not have the facts concerning March 4, with freedom comes responsibility, and I was pleased to see that Britney will take the right steps and comply with the law. I’ll always care greatly about her and help and support her in any way I can.”

Although she deactivated her Instagram page following her arrest, it is still live as of this writing, and her videos with her sons remain up.

Authorities have launched an investigation after multiple people were shot inside a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Union, New Jersey, on Saturday, April 11. ABC7 New York reports that gunfire erupted at the Route 22 location just before 9 p.m. local time.

Details On Shooting At Chick-fil-A In New Jersey

A mass shooting at a Chick-fil-A in Union, New Jersey has reportedly left one person dead. Furthermore, paramedics treated six victims for non-life-threatening injuries during a large emergency response late Saturday night. After the shooting, a man told CBS News that his girlfriend works at the Union Township location. She said a group of men entered the restaurant, went directly behind the counter, and opened gunfire multiple times. A dashboard camera video posted on X (formerly Twitter) by user @ghazish_ shows a masked person sprinting through the Chick-fil-A parking lot before several others rush past the car. Authorities have not confirmed whether those additional individuals played a role in the shooting.

Investigation Underway Following Fatal Shooting

At this time, police have not released the number of suspects or their identities, and officials have not released the identities of the victims. Lauren Farinas, a spokesperson for the Union County Prosecutor’s Office, says the investigation remains active and officials will release more information as it becomes available. Farinas also said she does not believe the incident poses an immediate ongoing threat to the public.

“While no arrests have been made at this time, the preliminary investigation reveals this does not appear to be a random act of violence and that there is no immediate ongoing threat to the general public,” Lauren Farinas said in a statement.

Governor Mikie Sherrill Reacts To Tragic Incident

Early on Sunday, April 12, Governor Mikie Sherrill took to X to react to the tragic incident. She said authorities are working diligently to investigate the shooting and she is praying for those injured.

“I have been briefed on the shooting last night in Union Township. As local law enforcement continues their investigation, we remain in close contact with officials on the ground. My thoughts are with those who were injured in the shooting, and with their families. I am grateful to our first responders for their swift action and continued efforts to keep the community safe.”

Kristin Cavallari has no issues with age-gap relationships.

“I love this era for us!” Cavallari, 39, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Saturday, April 11, after being asked about the trend of younger men dating older women. “I think older women are just more confident in their skin. Not as many games and not afraid to ask for what they need/want.”

She continued, “I think, for women, it’s just really fun and traditionally a little ‘bad,’ which just makes it even more fun. I love seeing us breaking rules, ladies.”

Cavallari dated TikTok star Mark Estes for seven months in 2024 despite their 13-year age difference, which she later admitted contributed to their split.

Kristin Cavallari being back on the dating scene is big news — but this time she’s older, wiser and has a few rock solid dealbreakers that she’s exclusively revealed to Us. It’s been three years since Cavallari, 38, divorced Chicago Bears QB Jay Cutler, with whom she shares sons Camden, 12, and Jaxon, 10, and daughter […]

“It’s hard because I broke up with Mark because I just know long-term it’s not right,” she said on an October 2024 episode of her “Let’s Be Honest” podcast. “It’s not because of love lost or something bad happened. No one cheated. No one was mean. No one did anything. Those breakups are always the hardest I think because it’s almost easier if the guy does something that makes you hate him.”

Cavallari added at the time, “Mark has been nothing but so sweet and so supportive. He’s always been there. He’s been the best boyfriend I’ve ever had. I just know long-term he needs to experience life.”

Cavallari was previously married to retired football star Jay Cutler, with whom she shares three kids, from 2013 to 2020. In the years since her divorce, Cavallari has been candid about her willingness to re-enter the dating pool.

“I’m not looking. For the last year or so, dating has not been a priority,” she exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month. “Honestly, even if I met Mr. Right today, I don’t know how he would fit into my life at the moment.”

According to Cavallari, her life is “full right now” between raising her kids and her work commitments.

“I realistically have every other weekend … when my kids were at their dad’s house,” the Uncommon James founder said. “I had a whole weekend to myself. I could do whatever I wanted. I didn’t have to see anybody, and I loved that. I’m not ready to give that up. I really value alone time. That’s how I recharge my batteries.”

Cavallari also recently reunited with her high school friends on Roku’s Laguna Beach reunion special. Costar Talan Torriero, for his part, is hopeful that Cavallari will eventually find The One.

“She obviously has a very high standard, and she has a very long, long list for what she looks for in a guy,” Torreiro, 39, told Us in a separate interview earlier this month. “[But] she’s a catch, right? I mean, she’s successful. She’s beautiful. She’s got a great relationship with her kids. She’s just got it going on. I understand why her list is so long. She deserves to find that guy, and I know she will. It’s around the corner.”

Just when we thought we had a handle on the Great Jeans Debate (skinnies versus wide-leg pairs), another denim dilemma began flooding our feed. According to Gen Z, fashion influencers and stylists, jean jackets are out. Or at least the cropped, fitted versions millennials tend to rock every spring. Rather than ditching the versatile layer entirely, there is an updated alternative that has already been approved by Mindy Kaling. Relaxed, button-up shirt styles keep your transitional outfits from looking dated.

Although old habits die hard, the Emmiol Denim Oversized Long-Sleeve Button Down is easy enough to work into your spring wardrobe. The medium blue shade makes it just as versatile as your tried-and-true jean jacket, but the loose fit and structured collar give it an elevated, modern spin — sort of like the also-trendy chore coat. With its sleek, casual-cool design, this Amazon find closely resembles the style that Kaling wore on Ike Barinholtz’s podcast, “Funny You Ask.” But while the actress’ Blazé Milano denim shirt costs upwards of $400 (it’s $423 on sale), this one is just $37.

The cotton-blend material means the denim button-down won’t leave you sweating on 70-degree days. It’s breathable, but still heavy enough to fight off that seasonal chill (or save you from shivering in the air conditioning come summertime). And, while you could easily pair this piece with a fit-and-flare or floral maxi, doing so might send a signal that you (like Us) are a woman of the 1900s (the cool kids are all wearing cardigans with dresses this year). A trendier look would be to style your denim button-down with tailored or linen trousers, Bermuda shorts or do as Kaling did and coordinate it with jeans of the same shade.

Jennifer Garner is the poster child for uncomplicated dressing, gravitating toward laid-back staples like simple pants, comfortable footwear and easy T-shirts. And while the actress’ latest spring look stuck to the theme, her trend-forward denim jacket added a surprising twist. Better yet? I found a lookalike version for just $37. Spotted out and about in Los […]

No matter how you choose to style this under-$4o pick, you won’t be disappointed by your purchase. This versatile number has garnered tons of rave reviews, with many praising its quality and versatility.

“This shirt feels very high quality, it’s structured and thick,” one five-star reviewer wrote. “It sits a little lower than the waist line so it’ll look good with dress pants and with jeans. I can’t wait to wear it all year long!!”

“LOVE,” said another happy shopper. “Fits so well. It’s the perfect in between of a regular fit and oversized, so I feel like it’s easy to pair with jeans or leggings! Great quality and I love the color! I also have unbuttoned it and worn it as a little jacket. It’s cute both ways!”

It’s also worth noting that this jacket style isn’t just ‘in’ — the breezy fit also makes it extra comfy, so you won’t have to worry about slipping on something stiff before heading out the door. Kaling clearly knows what’s up when it comes to spring-ready layers, and we’re ready to follow her lead. . . for a little less than that designer price tag.

We’re less than a month away from the premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2, which means it’s time to overhaul your closet. In all seriousness, I’ve revisited the original movie so many times and realized that many of the fashions featured then are coming back in style — like cerulean blue, bubble dresses and more.

From director Paul Greengrass‘ pulse-racing The Lost Bus, starring Hollywood icon Matthew McConaughey and Barbie‘s America Ferrera, to Joseph Kosinski‘s fast-paced sports drama F1, Apple TV has a great recent history of delivering critically acclaimed movies. In fact, the two mentioned were Academy Award nominees at this year’s 98th ceremony, with F1 earning a nod for the coveted Best Picture prize, and even walking out victorious in the Best Sound category.

Sadly, the streamer’s latest feature-length project has failed to have the same impact as the aforementioned duo. The film in question is Outcome, the latest directorial effort from Jonah Hill, which stars the ever-brilliant Keanu Reeves as Reef Hawk, the world’s biggest movie star who takes a hiatus from the industry after struggling with heroin addiction. Ready to make a comeback, Reef’s chances of redemption are hurt when a reputation-destroying video surfaces. Sadly, the initial response from critics to Outcome has been disappointing.

Dubbed “streaming filler” by one critic, with another saying, “Jonah Hill’s new movie rarely has anything of value to say,” Outcome has earned a terrible 25% score, from 24 reviews at the time of writing, on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, which marks Reeves’ lowest score for a film since 2018’s Replica. Writing for Collider, Nate Richard scored the film just 4/10 in his review, writing, “It moves at too quick a pace to leave much of an impact, and it’s a bit of a tonal nightmare. Hill has already proven himself as a director, but Outcome was a strange yet bold choice to make as his second narrative film.” Despite this, the film is at least proving an instant hit on Apple TV, as it has risen past the likes of F1 and the Elizabeth Olsen-led fantasy rom-com Eternity to take the top spot on the U.S. streaming charts.

Who Else Stars in ‘Outcome’?

Image via Apple TV

As Hill’s second narrative feature as a director, following the release of the skateboarding dramedy mid90s in 2018, Outcome was written by the Wolf of Wall Street star alongside Ezra Woods, with producer credits going the way of Hill, Matt Dines, and Alison Goodwin. The rest of the cast includes Matt Bomer, Cameron Diaz, Susan Lucci, Laverne Cox, David Spade, Atsuko Okatsuka, Roy Wood, Jr., Welker White, Kaia Gerber, Ivy Wolk, and even Hollywood icon Martin Scorsese as a washed-up talent agent.

Outcome is streaming on Apple TV. Stay tuned for more streaming stories.

Sydney Sweeney had a rough 2025 at the box office, culminating in the launch of a new franchise following the success of The Housemaid. Her earlier flop, Christy, a biopic about the life of American boxer Christy Martin, was a complete bomb in theaters.

Now that it’s on HBO Max, Sweeney’s home turf thanks to Euphoria, it debuted as the number one movie on the streamer, finally finding success away from the big screen. It’s also continuing the trend for Sweeney of two steps backwards for every one step forward her career takes. 

Sydney Sweeney Comes Out Swinging

Christy seems like an odd choice for Sydney Sweeney. It’s about the boxing champion, who fought in the first female boxing main event on pay-per-view, the first female boxer on the cover of Sports Illustrated, and easily the most popular female boxer of the 90s. Her rise was sudden, thanks in part to legendary promoter Don King (The Walking Dead’s Chad Coleman), and the support of her husband, James (Ben Foster, who was born to play creeps like James Martin). It’s the latter that led to the downfall of her career and nearly cost her life. 

The meat of Christy’s story isn’t the boxing career; it’s the abusive, codependent relationship with James, which is especially difficult as Christy’s a lesbian. Closeted to start with, but that doesn’t stop James from going to extreme lengths to retain his control over her. Drugs, sex, blackmail videos, you name it, James does it, right down to attempted murder. It’s an awkward mashup of underdog sports movie and terrifying domestic abuse that doesn’t quite work, but it’s not Sweeney’s fault. 

Christy Is A Tough Story For Hollywood

Christy Martin goes against Sweeney’s public image as a blonde bombshell with great jeans. It’s the same as her earlier film, Reality, about Reality Winner’s interrogation by the FBI for her role as a national security whistleblower. These are not glamorous roles, and Sweeney does her best to bring them to life, but in the case of Christy, she’s undercut by a confused script, and going up against the underrated acting powerhouse that is Ben Foster is a task for any performer. 

No one was surprised when Christy bombed at the box office with a haul of only $2 million. Fresh off the “great jeans” scandal, the film became a lightning rod for a culture war, with one side boycotting and the other showing no interest in a film about a lesbian boxer. It was a no-win situation, which, at the end of the day, with the film’s arrival on streaming, ultimately meant nothing. Anyone can now stream it no matter their personal feelings on the actress, in the privacy of their own home, and without paying movie theater prices, which means a lot of Sweeney fans are now checking it out, and a lot of her detractors are now hate-watching. 

At the end of the day, it’s a lot of online discourse over a film that’s ultimately, decent. Christy isn’t the best boxing movie, it’s not the best movie about domestic violence, but it is a close examination of the fascinating life of Christy Martin, who today, is living her best life as an out lesbian with her partner, and given the hell she endured to get there, you can’t help but cheer for her. As for Sydney Sweeney, Euphoria Season 3 is about to debut, so you might want to stay off social media for a few days. 

Christy is now streaming on HBO Max.

Theo James had certain fears about becoming a boy dad.

“Capitalism is the dominant force and if you are celebrated, no matter what you are, if you are stinking rich and driving around in flash cars [that] has been epitomized by Trumpism and everything that goes with that,” James, 41, said on the Wednesday, April 8, episode of Josh Smith’s Great Chat Show, referencing the cultural influence of President Donald Trump. “It’s terrifying having a son because people get lured into this idea very easily.”

He continued, “You don’t have to be ‘hyperwoke,’ but it’s about a base level of empathy and some semblance of morality. I think now that isn’t cool. It’s not cool to talk about those things. It’s cool to be like, ‘F*** you, I earn loads of cash.’ But, at the end of the day, there’s a deep emptinessiness within that as we all know and eventually all those people will find out.”

James and his wife, Ruth Kearney, welcomed their son in late 2023. (The couple also share a daughter, who was born in 2021.)

Theo James surprised fans at the 2023 Emmys when he announced that he welcomed his second baby with wife Ruth Kearney last year. “We have a 4-month-old. We’re in the thick of it,” James, 39, announced during the KTLA5 Emmys red carpet show on Monday, January 15. “We have a daughter and then a 4-month-old […]

“We have a 4-month-old. We’re in the thick of it,” James said at the Emmy Awards in January 2024, confirming that Kearney, 41, gave birth months earlier. “We have a daughter and then a 4-month-old son.”

James and Kearney, who have been married since 2018, have not publicly revealed their children’s names and maintain a private family life. As they remain out of the public eye, James is hopeful to raise his son without the influence of toxic masculinity.

“I [also] try and have conversations with my friends and be open about mental health and if you’re struggling with things,” James said on Wednesday’s episode. “I think it’s super important because mental health affects a lot of men.”

The White Lotus alum further believes that toxic masculinity “comes down to a fact of an unclear identity.”

“They feel untethered, reduced. I think the misogyny comes from lots of successful, strong women around them. They don’t know how to deal with that,” he speculated. “They’re confused by who they are or who they should be, and the easiest thing to do is to latch on to something [whether it’s] money, going to the gym a lot of telling people to ‘go f*** themselves.’ That’s easy.”

A man’s identity can also affect body image, which James believed is “a problem.”

“It constantly evolves and changes when we talk about men, obviously, women have dealt with it for thousands of years and they continue to do so,” James acknowledged. “With men, I think the idea of, and again it goes into this kind of toxic masculinity thing about identity and forming identity through your body [where] you have to be bigger and more muscular, more swole.”
