Plus Jonah Hill's love drama (it's summertime news y'all!), Dictator Justin Trudeau, Biden's dangerous attachment, loneliness is as deadly as smoking cigarettes, Moms for Liberty, and more!
Britney reminds me of Michael Jackson. While I was too young to recall the time that MJ was inappropriately chummy with kids (in pubic!) why didn't anyone do anything? There is a lot to unpack with MJ (hero-status people are afraid to touch), but with Britney, well, it's just sad to watch her decline. I tend to believe she's just very insecure, desperate for love and attention. That seemed to be why she gravitated toward the paparazzi 15 years ago, shaved her head, etc.
Good take on the Johan Hill drama from House Inhabit, but I was disappointed in Kraus's recent piece on Britney Spears. She hasn't been seen by family and friends, yet Kraus decides she is mentally ill (https://jessicareedkraus.substack.com/p/saving-britney). I think she is the first celebrity to be replace with AI (https://hxlibraries.substack.com/p/britney-spears-and-the-future-of/comments).

I don't know what happened with her past her early 20s. Lots of mysteries there. I linked to some interesting podcast discussions in that piece. When I look at her Instagram I feel like all I am seeing are old photos and video or images that don't look like her. And then this comes out: https://gizmodo.com/sag-aftra-ai-actors-strike-amptp-ceos-likeness-image-1850638409?fbclid=IwAR1wmSjBfUotepDvHzIBgmBIVKaEVCzSeVqtpGkee5Z6E3o03SbBvbV2gpk
Oh man, the gumption of Hollywood. Good article. They want to own you forever. Dave Chappelle discusses this in one of this bits.
