Wish me luck today babies, I’m having brain surgery. I have two unruptured brain aneurysms, they are going to put a stent in to help. Been listening to Britney’s music all morning to try and calm down. If for some reason I don’t survive, I wanna thank you all for making my time here enjoyable. Hope my posts have made you smile once or twice. I love (most) of you. Ok, bye.

Everything went well, in recovery now resting. Thank you to everyone who commented, made me smile so big (I thought this thread would flop hard). Love all of you!

Going through my old VHS tapes, I found this interview from 2003 for french-canadian television. Quality isn't the best, but i thought it would be great to share it. 5:30 hits different knowing what we know now :/.

Now they're going to start doing a lot of reality shows like Jamie Lynn did when the conservatorship money stopped coming in...

I really wish I could get into her music, and her pumpkin spice latte performances, because she does work hard and put lots of material out. Must be nice to be her fan.

This video was so well directed and the aesthetic of this era was so iconic Dirrty kinda hits way harder than Slave. She ate that right on up. Dirrty is a crazy good video. Everything thing in that video is super stylized. Every shot can be an ad. Christina invented female UFC, aline skits with buckles, Platinum grey hair, Furry fetish. Both girls served but Dirrty is insane.

Today Billboard released a Ranking: „The 100 Greatest Songs of 2004“ and placed „Toxic“ at #1! 1. Britney Spears, "Toxic" The addictive love that Britney Spears describes in “Toxic” could easily translate to the habit-forming song itself. “There’s no escape, I can’t wait/ I need a hit, baby, give me it”: To hear “Toxic” once is to need to hear it again — immediately. Is it the high-pitched strings from Bloodshy & Avant? Or the venomous lyrics from the Swedish production duo alongside Cathy Dennis and Henrik Jonback? Or maybe the cheeky superspy-spoofing music video? (It’s impossible to hear this song without immediately picturing Spears in a futuristic blue flight-attendant uniform.) Whatever it is, the In the Zone earworm infected everyone within its reach, as it topped Billboard’s Pop Airplay and Dance Club Songs charts (as well as our staff’s own Best Britney Spears Songs list). It earned Spears her first, and so far only, Grammy (for best dance recording). And even Jay-Z chose it as his favorite Britney song in a random 2013 Twitter Q&A (“jamming my G”). The song’s most enduring legacy, though, might be its whiplash-inducing range of covers, from Local H’s rocker, to The Chapin Sisters’ folk version, to Mark Ronson’s ODB-featuring hip-hop spin, to, naturally, a cappella takes from both the Pitch Perfect franchise and Glee (twice). What all the above endorsements add up to is that “Toxic” has seemingly become Spears’ most universally beloved song, using her already-established superpowers (the unmistakable breathy vocals, her magnetic onscreen presence and flawless choreography) and adding an electronic pop sound that put a legend who could have been forever linked to the ’90s instead at the forefront of top 40’s new frontier. The results were anything but toxic, but they were still definitely lethal. – K.A.

Kevin Federline will lose child support from Britney Spears in 4 months!

Mweh. Not a fan of having to scroll that much. I like it more divided in a sumarized way with topic title and a discr. This looks way too much like Facebook and we all scroll past posts because there's so much. You will definitely scroll over topics too easily to my likings. It's also my pet peeve with social media. There's just so much content...

didnt end but was for the first time able to compete... (but britney was first with Slave)

You're obsessed man...every other day you cry about the same thing. Britney obviously does not want to be papped because it's a trigger for her. If you cared about her as a person first, and not a celebrity, you'd get that.

There is so much other stuff she could be posting. She says she’s a “chef in the works” - it would be cute to see her cooking or baking. Her old workout videos used to be cute. When she used to paint, it was adorable. Now, all her content is the same. She keeps dancing while wearing low bottoms that she keeps lowering. It’s giving off trashy and D-list vibes (sorry but it’s true). It’s sad that she might think this is the best she can offer right now.

Songs about her exes - what a shock. So far so garbage, giving each song about 30 seconds

Just imagine the actress playing L0u being in the background in scenes, with closeups of her face, but never saying one word.

I just feel like the more changes this forum goes through, the less members stay active. People have stayed here because we’re mostly millennials that grew up with forums and interacting in a forum format is nostalgic… I personally don’t want any other format. There are other platforms where I can talk about Britney but I choose BH because it’s a forum. I personally don’t like the change and I don’t see how this will grow traffic or engagement.

I really admire Courtney for keeping her foot on Lou's neck! She's the only one I can think of who has actually spoke out against Lou multiple times which is WILD. The hollywood mafia is real!

Unfortunately, it is what it is. Who would have thought it would come down to this where lowering her pants is what she has to offer to the world? She’s so much more than that, but maybe she doesn’t see it.

These people are all weird. Jacob included.

Hello Britney fans! I used to frequent this forum years ago but lost my old credentials, so here I am. I've always been a huge Britney fan, so when I stumbled upon this news at work, I thought I'd share it with all of you. I work in the marketing department for a streaming platform in Warsaw (it's neither Spotify nor Apple Music, just to clarify). A couple of months ago, among the upcoming releases from Sony (which distributes RCA releases here in Poland), I spotted something from Britney Spears titled "Britney 25: The Silver Collection". We didn't receive any more info about it, indicating it's not a major release. I meant to share this with you months ago but forgot, until today when we received an updated list including a title "Britney 25 - One More Time, The Silver Collection". They've slightly changed the title, and the release is scheduled for June. We haven't received any assets yet and usually we get dedicated emails and even meetings from labels for major releases, so I guess this will be a collection for fans or something along those lines. Not sure if you guys are already aware of it, and if you are, sorry for not checking. If not, I hope it excites you. I'll keep you posted should I get more info!

Britney doesn't need to fulfill your wishes. You don't own her. She may be doing all these things you require of her, a person you don't know personally, but she chooses not to show them to you. It's best for you to head off to watch the IG of some other active performer. You can still enjoy her music without patronizing her as a person. That was her family's job and her father's cohorts.

Britney Spears has not released new music in years, and there are no surefire signs that suggest she’s planning on doing so. As her following waits to hear anything from the superstar about her music career, she returns to the Billboard charts with one of her most famous tunes, which has been spurred on by a very special event. “Till The World Ends” by Spears returns to the Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart this week. The single blasts onto the ranking of the bestselling tracks in the U.S. that fit those genres at No. 10, finding its way back to not only the list, but the loftiest tier on it. The post-apocalyptic smash is one of Spears’ five No. 1 hits on the Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart. “Till The World Ends” reached the throne on this ranking back in April 2011, and so far, it’s racked up five stays on top. Spears’ smash was one of several tracks that benefited from last week’s eclipse. Any hit that had any loose association with the sun, moon, or other words or phrases that may be tangentially connected to the rare event boomed on streaming platforms and sales sites. “Till The World Ends” joins hits from the likes of The Beatles, Soundgarden, Bill Withers, and others, who also saw their tracks soar in consumption, and subsequently return to various Billboard charts. Spears is one of the only musicians who makes an impact on the dance and electronic tallies with an eclipse-themed cut, as rockers mostly benefited. As “Till The World Ends” returns to the Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart, another one of Spears’ most beloved singles is still present on another tally. “Toxic” lives on the Dance/Electronic Streaming Songs ranking, and for months now, it’s found space on that tally more often than not. This week, “Toxic” falls slightly on the Dance/Electronic Streaming Songs chart. It dips from No. 18 to No. 20 in its twentieth frame on the tally. It once climbed all the way to No. 4, reaching that point just a few months ago. Britney Spears Returns To The Charts Thanks To A Once-In-A-Generation Event WWW.FORBES.COM Britney Spears' "Till The World Ends" returns to Billboard's Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart at No. 10, boosted by an eclipse-themed sales surge.

Has anyone chose Christina at this point?

It doesn’t seem acceptable in the Britney community to question anything she does. But the content she chooses to put out just seems meaningless cheap and raunchy. I used to think being a fan meant admiring someone but here it just seems like blind allegiance. Isn’t it ok to be a fan AND have expectations?

I always disliked that second photo. The boys had just refused to allow Britney to post their photo and then this one showed up. The guy in the middle posted it together with another photo of the Federlines' living room with the guys (not the boys) sitting around the coffee table with a COOKIES plate and w.e.e.d. COOKIES was Kevin's distribution company. Jayden was wearing a COOKIES shirt in an older photo with Britney and Preston. Teenager Jayden is smiling in that shirt. Total disrespect towards his mother to advertise w.e.e.d while his grandfather accused her of dr*g use. Let's hope, one day, the boys will be more mature and finally come to their senses.

Hi Jordan! How amazing that this place has been around for 20 years! Iconic!!! Congrats on making a legendary community within the Britney and pop culture space! I'm gonna be honest.... and I don't like the new look of exhale 3.0.. I feel it loses it's forum like appeal and looks like a blog/social media site. Not sure if that's the direction to go in. It also looks less like a community with no personality which I think is what has kept this forum alive for so, so long! My motto is if it ain't broke why fix it?! Anyway just my opinion and appreciate you and this forum.

Financial Mismanagement: Allegations of financial mismanagement within Britney's conservatorship, including unauthorized or questionable expenditures, could trigger investigations into financial fraud or embezzlement. Conflict of Interest: Concerns about conflicts of interest among Britney's conservators and those involved in managing her affairs, such as receiving payments or benefits at the expense of Britney's estate, could lead to investigations into breaches of fiduciary duty or corruption. New York Times revealed Jamie Spears had been loaned $40k from Lou Taylor BEFORE the conservatorship. If that isn't a conflict of interest, I don't know what is. Medical Coercion: Britney's allegations of being forced to take medication against her will, such as lithium during her hiatus in 2019, could prompt investigations into potential medical malpractice or violations of her medical rights. Violation of Civil Rights: Britney's claims of being held in a psychiatric facility against her will and being subject to restrictions on her personal freedom could raise questions about potential violations of her civil rights, which could prompt investigations by federal agencies responsible for enforcing civil rights laws. Abuse and Neglect: Allegations of abuse or neglect within Britney's conservatorship, including claims of emotional and psychological abuse, could lead to investigations by authorities responsible for protecting vulnerable individuals from harm.

by the way...

Ended her career? what’s with these posts, please step outside and get some air

Unfortunately Xtina was never able to start in order to end anyone, let alone the queen.

Is it me or have her last five albums and era's all been very much alike ? Like it's all just the same type of music and any of the songs could have been on any of the albums ? Like good for her fans that they get so much material but as an outsider it's kinda boring.

The rare interview from '03 inspired me so I found this! (her brown bob!)

The Mirror has revealed that Britney has entered advanced talks to transform The Woman In Me into a blockbuster, with a female-only writing team being brought in to tackle the script. Sony Pictures currently leads the negotiations, while Britney’s major songwriters have been given a heads-up that their music could be used for the adaptation of The Woman in Me. “Britney’s book was a groundbreaking best-seller and raised the public’s consciousness with regards to how the entertainment industry and conservatorships work. She’s in advanced talks to turn it into a cinematic release and her songwriters have been informed that some of her songs will be used once it is greenlit. If necessary, the project could become a mini-series in the style of Genius: Aretha”. "Female writers are being approached to turn the book into a script because only a woman can understand the nuances that made Britney’s role in her family, and position in pop culture, so complicated.” The adaptation promises to delve deeper into Britney’s personal journey, offering audiences further insight into the highs and lows. The source adds: “The next chapter of her life is about reclaiming her mind, body and spirit, so she’s ready to tell all.” Bombshell Britney Spears film to tell true story of her bombshell memoir - Mirror Online T.CO Britney has entered advanced talks to transform her best-selling memoir into a blockbuster, with a...

I agree with you. My intention isn’t to criticize, I just feel as people in the Britney community we aren’t doing her any favors by pretending her posts are anything to be applauded.

She’s always posting new photos & videos at home & on vacation. Why do you want her privacy invaded so badly with paparazzi photos ? She obviously does not want to be photographed by paps and keeps things lowkey these days. As she said in her testimony, her team would purposely send her to heavily paparazzi filled locations on purpose for her to be photographed looking disheveled after therapy & whatnot. There’s less pics now bc she knows what areas to avoid in order to not be papped.

Two decades ago, LaChapelle was the epitome of metropolitan glam... LaChapelle doesn’t regularly photograph celebrities anymore... He thinks back to many of the stars he photographed 20 years ago. “Britney and Paris were trailblazers – we don’t have people like that in the zeitgeist anymore. There was nobody like those women. There wasn’t a Lil’ Kim before Lil’ Kim. There wasn’t a Paris Hilton before Paris Hilton. There weren’t people in the world in such a way before.” Source: https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art/features/david-lachapelle-interview-britney-dirrty-video-b1724929.html

Tbh Taylor should move on. She is almost 40

Good But I’m sure they’ll make some big $$$ when they do their interviews about their mother in a few years

Wtf is this thread even. Y'all act like she's doing something problematic and NEEDS defending. She's not fighting people, being racist, killing people, like, what defense does she need? She's at home, doing whatever she wants, not harming anyone. You can dislike what she posts but it doesn't need "defending". Personally, I love her instagram, it's the MOST unique and it's very entertaining. Everyone else posts the same crap and just follow everyone else's trends. It's an echo chamber of brain dead influencers. At least Britney is exciting and controversial, it makes it more fun. She makes the platform more fun. With EVERYONE ELSE on insta, you know what they're going to post tomorrow. With Britney, you literally have to wonder, "what will she post next". So exciting, the literal opposite of mundane. If you don't like it or don't want to be a fan, don't, but she needs no defense.

I get what you mean but at the same time, how is criticizing going to help? Its not gonna change anything. Britney will still act the way she does on IG. I just wish she'd switch up instead of always posting the same type of content.

Sadly there aren't any big celebs in general anymore. The era of the superstar as we know it is over. Social media has alot to do with that.

It feels like a blog. I love how open and spacious the current forum is and I get a chance to read everyones posts. With the “blog style” I could see myself missing posts and the best part of this place is the shady gifs and memes lol that's half the entertainment. Reddit is boring. Please don't go in that direction. The changes I do want to see is more gifs and an app for this current setup though not necessary.

I think those captions are AI generated and the actually lyrics are uncontrollably

The cult of Lynne Spears...real Housewives of the Bayou

I’d like to quote a wise woman:

The older I get and the more I see, I truly believe words have power and manifestation is real to a degree. Hearing her say, “you can’t experience true light unless you’ve experienced true darkness”, well we know what would later come for her. Growing up my mom would tell me to stop saying bad things about myself and now I see why. It’s putting it out there in the universe whether is positive words or negative. I really hope Britney is now experiencing that good true light that this world can offer! Thanks for sharing this video! I have a ton of tapes full of Britney content. I sometimes think of digitizing and uploading them. Maybe I’ll start this summer when my life isn’t as busy.

Taylor Swift is as boring and bland as unseasoned, undercooked chicken breast.
