​

Britney Spears is once again at the center of growing concern after a chaotic night out in Los Angeles unfolded just days after she left rehab. 

Newly surfaced CCTV footage reportedly captured the singer stopping at a liquor store before heading to a dive bar where witnesses later claimed she was acting erratically. 

The troubling outing has now sparked renewed fears among Spears’s loved ones, with one family insider describing the situation as heartbreaking while alleging the singer is surrounded by people who are failing to protect her.

Britney Spears Was Seen Buying Alcohol Before Late-Night Bar Visit

Before the headlines about a chaotic restaurant scene emerged, Britney Spears was reportedly seen making a stop at a liquor store in Sherman Oaks.

Surveillance footage obtained by the Daily Mail allegedly showed the singer arriving with two companions, including a man believed to be part of her security team.

Dressed in a revealing top, black skirt, and boots, Spears appeared upbeat inside the store, at one point reportedly dancing near the checkout counter while items were being purchased.

According to the report, one of her companions grabbed a large can of Twisted Tea from a cooler while the singer added gum to the order before paying partially in cash.

After leaving the store, exterior cameras allegedly captured the group climbing into a black SUV, with the alcoholic beverage reportedly placed near Spears as they drove away.

Exactly who the alcohol was intended for remains unclear, but the outing immediately raised eyebrows because it surfaced only days after the 44-year-old reached a plea agreement in her DUI case and exited rehab treatment.

Spears’ Night At Dive Bar Quickly Turned Chaotic

The night reportedly escalated after Britney Spears and her group arrived at Blue Dog Tavern, a dive bar located across the street from the liquor store.

Witnesses described the atmosphere as loud and uncomfortable, with some patrons claiming Spears was repeatedly “barking” and shouting while moving around the restaurant.

Several reports also focused on Spears allegedly carrying a knife while walking near other tables. However, restaurant staff later noted that the knives are routinely served alongside burgers at the establishment.

Witnesses additionally claimed the pop star appeared unusually affectionate toward the man accompanying her, allegedly feeding him fries and telling him, “I love you.”

At another point during the outing, staff reportedly intervened after Spears lit a cigarette near the entrance. Despite the growing online panic surrounding the dinner, Spears’ representative firmly denied claims that the singer endangered anyone.

“This is completely blown out of proportion. Britney was enjoying a quiet dinner with her assistant and bodyguard. She was simply telling the story about how her dog was barking at the neighbors,” her rep said per The Blast, adding, “At no point did she put anyone in danger with a knife. She was cutting her hamburger in half.”

Britney Spears Recently Resolved DUI Case Before Rehab Exit

The latest controversy comes only days after Spears pleaded guilty in her DUI case stemming from her March 4 arrest. 

Under the plea agreement, the singer avoided jail time by pleading to a reduced reckless driving charge commonly referred to as a “wet reckless.”

However, Spears was placed on probation for 12 months and ordered to complete an alcohol education program. The agreement also reportedly requires the “Toxic” singer to avoid driving with intoxicants in her system and comply with testing requests from law enforcement.

She is additionally prohibited from possessing drugs or related paraphernalia unless medically prescribed. Adding to concerns, Spears had only recently left a voluntary rehab program after reportedly spending just three weeks there.

The singer was first photographed again after treatment on April 30, and insiders initially claimed she was focused on resetting her life.

Spears’ Family Reportedly Feels ‘Heartsick’

According to a close family source, many relatives reportedly did not even know Britney Spears had left rehab until stories surfaced online.

“She’s surrounded by enablers and everyone thinks that’s fine. But God forbid that her family who loves her tries to keep her from getting drunk, or spending all her money, or spiraling, then it’s all ‘Free Britney,’” an insider revealed to the Daily Mail.

The source then made an even more alarming statement about Spears’ current condition. 

They said, “But this is what Free Britney is. A train wreck. And she’s going to end up dead [but] they’re still going to demonize anyone in her life who was like, ‘Hey, let’s work on getting you taken care of.’”

The insider also revealed that communication between the mom of two and much of her family remains extremely limited. 

“We only have contact with her when she wants it. She leaves us on read otherwise. Heartsick. That’s what I am. Heartsick. Heartbroken. Worried as hell,” the source added.

According to the insider, Spears currently only maintains regular communication with her sons.

Britney Spears’ Family Rift Continues After Years Of Public Struggles

Spears reportedly skipped a recent family gathering celebrating her niece Maddie’s graduation, despite several relatives attending, including her mother, Lynne; sister, Jamie Lynn; father, Jamie; and sons, Sean Preston and Jayden.

The fractured relationships come after years of public turmoil involving Spears and her family, particularly surrounding her controversial conservatorship, which lasted from 2008 until 2021.

In recent months, Spears has continued posting unusual dance videos and topless photos online, while additional reports have claimed her Los Angeles mansion is frequently left in poor condition.

Sources also previously alleged Spears began “spiraling” after the release of her ex-husband Kevin Federline’s memoir, which detailed tensions between the singer and her sons.

Meanwhile, Spears herself has openly spoken about fearing her family. Earlier this year, she admitted in a social media post that she felt “scared” of her relatives and “lucky to be alive.”

Now, after another chaotic public outing so soon after rehab and legal troubles, those closest to Britney Spears reportedly fear the situation may only continue getting worse.

Drake‘s new album, “ICEMAN,” is hours away from dropping, and based on a leak sample of one of the tracks, he’s not holding back. The project, coming May 15, 2026, will be Drake’s first full-length album since his headline-making beef with Kendrick Lamar. Their feud took over pop culture in ways some people weren’t prepared for, leading other A-listers to chime in. One of those voices was Drake’s former friend, LeBron James. In the leaked track, Drake wastes no time making it clear where he stands with the Los Angeles Lakers star. For those who may have been hoping for reconciliation—think again.

Drake Wastes No Time Coming For LeBron James, Kendrick Lamar In New Album ‘ICEMAN’

One of Drake’s songs, “1 AM In Albany,” was shared online overnight, and it features suggestive lyrics about some of his industry peers.

Of course, in the five-minute track, Drake takes a shot at Lamar, calling him short and hinting that he was surprised the Grammy-winner popped off the way he did with his viral hit, “Not Like Us.”

Elsewhere in the track, Drake trashes James, saying, “I shouldn’t even be shocked to see you in that arena, because you always made your career off of switching teams up.”

He continued, “Please stop asking what’s going on with 23 & me, I’m a real n****, and he’s not, it’s in my DNA.”

Drake Had Beef With James After The NBA Player Was Spotted Dancing To Lamar’s Diss Track

Drake’s lyric about James won’t be a surprise to his most loyal fans. According to a previous report from The Blast, Drake was upset in the summer of 2024 when he spotted James dancing to Lamar’s diss track about him during the rapper’s “Pop Out” concert that year.

In October 2024, Drake seemingly addressed the clip of James during a speech in Canada, saying, “My real friends are definitely in the building.”

He went on, “But let me tell you that you’re going to come to a point in life where people you thought were friends, people you thought were close to you switch up.”

Drake didn’t stop there. He added, “They might try to move funny with you. They might stab you in the back. They might do a lot of things to you. You’ll come to that realization, wherever you’re at in life. You’ve probably been there and you’ll be there again. That’s how life is. Sometimes it’s you and you alone by yourself.”

James Addresses His Strained Relationship With Drake During A Previous Interview With Speedy Mormon

James opened up about his strained relationship with the “One Dance” rapper during a candid interview with Speedy Mormon, according to The Blast.

During their conversation, James admitted he wasn’t holding any grudges toward Drake, adding that he still has respect for the performer he considered a friend.

“Always wish him the best. Obviously, um, different places right now, currently. He’s doing his thing, I’m doing mine. But it’s always love, for sure,” he said.

In the past, Drake has been open about his admiration for James and his career, admitting to texting the NBA champion before games to offer encouragement.

“I always let him know that it’s his night,” he shared. “Let’s get it, let’s go out there with a clear mind and forget all the other stuff going on and just stay focused on the task. That ring. Tonight, I told him it was his night. And it was his night tonight.”

The ‘Big Rings’ Rapper Faced Backlash In Summer 2025 After Appearing Alongside Morgan Wallen

Last summer, Drake stirred up controversy after appearing alongside country singer Morgan Wallen. The latter has faced criticism over the years for screaming racial slurs and displaying disorderly behavior.

According to The Blast, social media users blasted Drake online, questioning why he would be OK with standing next to Wallen, given the singer’s many public scandals.

“Yeah, not beating the colonizer accusations,” someone wrote, while another called his move “wild.”

The 39-Year-Old Has Spent $500,000 Betting On Jake Paul

Another report from The Blast details the hefty six-figure sum Drake lost by betting on Jake Paul.

For those who may be unfamiliar, Paul stepped into the boxing ring in December to face off against Anthony Joshua, a two-time heavyweight champion and Olympian.

While some believed Paul had a chance to make history, the controversial streamer and influencer lost in the sixth round after Joshua delivered a serious hook, sending Paul to the ground.

Before the match, Drake posted a screenshot of his Stake bet slip, showing he placed a $200,000 wager on Paul to win.

In 2024, Drake placed a whopping $355,000 bet on Paul to defeat Mike Tyson during their headline-making fight.

Will he bet that his upcoming album pushes him back into the spotlight? Only time will tell.

Chelsea Handler is not holding back when it comes to modern romance. The comedian recently vented her frustrations about today’s dating scene during a candid podcast appearance, claiming that dating apps and endless options have completely changed how people approach relationships. 

While Handler admitted she still enjoys dating casually, she also revealed why so many successful women around her are struggling to find lasting connections. 

Chelsea Handler Says Dating Apps Ruined Modern Romance

Chelsea Handler made it clear she believes technology has fundamentally damaged dating culture.

During an appearance on the “Howie Mandel Does Stuff” podcast, the 51-year-old argued that social media and dating apps have created an endless cycle of options that keeps people from fully committing.

“It’s very hard in today’s world to meet straight guys that have their s— together … Something’s wrong. I don’t know what’s wrong,” Handler admitted per Page Six.

The “Fun Size” star explained that she originally thought she could help women meet quality men, but quickly realized the problem seemed far bigger than she expected.

“So, I was initially trying to help straight women meet straight men,” she said. “But I think with dating apps and social media, there’s just so much abundance and so much choice that nobody really feels like they have to … lock it in.”

According to Handler, swipe culture has made effort in relationships almost nonexistent because people always believe there is someone else waiting online.

“They can swipe through 50 women a day,” she explained. “So they’re not making the effort that people used to make to date.”

Handler Says Successful Women Keep Facing The Same Problem

Chelsea Handler also shared that many accomplished women she knows are experiencing the exact same frustrations in their dating lives.

She praised the women around her for building impressive careers and independent lives, but claimed many still feel disappointed when it comes to finding meaningful relationships.

“I meet all these amazing, incredible women that are like bada—-,” Handler said, adding, “They have their own lives, they have their big jobs and they’re all just like, ‘There’s no men out there.’”

Handler suggested that constant access to dating apps has created a mindset where people rarely feel pressure to fully invest in one person anymore.

Instead of putting in consistent effort, she believes many people simply move on to the next option.

Chelsea Handler Admits She Does Not Want To Be ‘Tethered’

Despite criticizing modern dating culture, Handler admitted she is still actively dating, just not seriously.

The TV personality explained that she currently enjoys exploring connections without committing to a relationship.

“I wouldn’t say I’m in a relationship. I would say I’m dabbling in different areas of my life,” Handler revealed. 

She then made it clear that independence remains incredibly important to her, noting, “I don’t like to be tethered to one person.”

Handler has often spoken openly about choosing freedom and personal growth over traditional expectations surrounding relationships and marriage.

During an April 2026 appearance on the “Angie Martinez IRL” podcast, Handler revealed her vibe is all about freedom. 

“I love the idea that I don’t have to check in with anybody about anything I do. I don’t have to consider or consult with anyone. If I want to get on a plane and go to Paris, which I will do in a moment’s notice,” she said per The Blast.

Handler Previously Thought Jo Koy Was ‘Her Person’

Chelsea Handler’s latest comments come years after her highly publicized relationship with fellow comedian Jo Koy.

The pair dated for less than a year before announcing their split in 2022, but Handler initially believed the romance had restored her faith in relationships.

At the time, she said Koy helped renew her “faith in men, in love [and] in being 100% who I am.” However, the former talk show host later admitted she eventually realized the relationship simply was not meant to last.

During an appearance on the “Now What?” podcast, she reflected honestly on the breakup. “Towards the end of the relationship, it just became clear that this was not my person,” Handler explained.

Even though the relationship ended, Handler has continued to speak openly about love, dating, and the challenges of forming genuine connections in today’s world.

Chelsea Handler Says She’s ‘Too Hot’ To Keep Dating Older Men After 50

In March, Handler opened up about why she stopped dating older men after turning 50, admitting she simply no longer felt drawn to large age gaps. 

As The Blast reported, the comedian revealed that she spent much of her 20s and 30s dating men decades older than her, saying she routinely dated “40-year-olds when I was 20” and “50-year-olds when I was 30.” 

However, that changed as she got older. Handler joked, “I’m too hot to be dating 65-year-olds,” explaining that she decided to start dating younger men instead.  

The star is currently dating a 37-year-old man she met at a blackjack table in Las Vegas, describing the relationship as refreshing and fun. 

Handler also said modern dating has made her value independence even more, adding that she no longer wants to structure her life around a partner.

Macaulay Culkin continues to look back on his intimate bond with the late actress Catherine O’Hara months after her passing.

Although their relationship started off with an on-screen mother-son role in “Home Alone,” Culkin and O’Hara soon formed a connection that translated into their personal lives.

Now, the former child star is opening up about how her demise left him pondering what could have been if she were alive.

Macaulay Culkin Reveals Deep Catherine O’Hara Regret

In a recent interview, Culkin admitted that O’Hara’s death came as a shock to him because they had “unfinished business” to handle.

“When Catherine passed away in January, that hit me. That hit me pretty good, ’cause, you know, it was just too soon. And I felt that we had unfinished business,” the actor told Gentleman’s Journal.

Although Culkin didn’t go into detail, he admitted feeling indebted to the late veteran, who was a major presence in his career, starting from his “Home Alone” beginnings.

O’Hara’s guidance was evident when Culkin earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2023, and she gave an endearing speech at the ceremony. Reflecting on his regret, the “Zootopia” actor said, “I feel like I owed her a favor — and I don’t like having an outstanding debt.”

Macaulay Culkin Mourned O’Hara With An Emotional Tribute

Although Culkin was unable to pay his debt to his on-screen mother, he honored her legacy and mourned her loss in a heart-wrenching tribute.

Following the news of O’Hara’s passing, the 45-year-old took to Instagram, sharing a throwback photo of them on “Home Alone” alongside one of them at his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony.

Referring to the late actress as “Mama” in the caption, he wished for more time together. “I wanted more. I wanted to sit in a chair next to you. I heard you. But I had so much more to say. I love you,” he wrote, per The Blast.

Culkin vowed to see O’Hara “later,” as Danzig’s “Mother“ was included as a background song on the upload. Thousands of fans camped in the comments, sending comfort to the heartbroken star.

The Actor Kept A Somber Appearance During Public Sighting

Culkin’s grief was evident when he made his first public appearance after his on-screen mother’s death. Just hours after the news broke, the actor was spotted out and about in Los Angeles, according to The Blast.

The father-of-two was seen alone, wearing a dark outfit comprising an orange sweater underneath a black blazer and black pants as he kept a low-key profile.

Barely interacting with anyone, Culkin wore a weighed-down expression as he ran errands.

Cause Of Catherine O’Hara’s Death Revealed

The news of O’Hara’s demise sent shock waves across Hollywood. The beloved actress passed away on January 30, 2026, after a brief illness. She was 71 years old.

A rep of O’Hara’s talent agency, CAA, shed light on the details of her passing, revealing that the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a call at the actress’s home, where she lives with her husband, Bo Welch, at 4:48 AM.

Weeks later, it was revealed that the “Schitt’s Creek” alum died from a blood clot in her lungs, known as pulmonary embolism. A report from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s office listed rectal cancer as the underlying cause.

It was revealed that the entertainer was rushed to the hospital in a severe condition after experiencing difficulty breathing, as detailed in a 911 call.

As reported by The Blast, O’Hara’s death certificate confirmed she was cremated, with her remains given to her beloved husband.

Inside Catherine O’Hara’s Intimate Memorial Service

The “Beetlejuice” star was laid to rest two weeks after her passing in an intimate ceremony attended by her family and close industry friends.

As reported by The Blast, actress Kelly Lynch gave fans a glimpse into the heartbreaking service, posting a black-and-white photo of the funeral program. On it was printed an adorable photo of a younger O’Hara wearing a cheerleader outfit, with a huge smile on her face.

Alongside the image was a poem curated by Raymond Carver titled “Late Fragment.” It was written when he was dying from cancer, a message that also applies to O’Hara.

“Rest in peace, darling Catherine,” Lynch wrote alongside the post.

For decades, “The Brady Bunch” has remained one of television’s most replayed family sitcoms, turning its cast into permanent pop culture icons long after the series ended. 

However, behind the nostalgia and endless reruns, one of the show’s stars is revealing a much sadder reality. 

Eve Plumb recently admitted that despite the sitcom’s lasting success across generations, the actors are no longer seeing meaningful money from it. 

Her revelation has sparked fresh conversation about how television contracts once worked, especially compared to the massive payouts stars from modern sitcoms still receive today.

‘Brady Bunch’ Star Eve Plumb Reveals The Truth About Residual Checks

Plumb is pulling back the curtain on what “The Brady Bunch” cast actually earned from one of television’s most replayed sitcoms.

The actress, who famously played middle daughter Jan Brady, recently addressed the subject while promoting her memoir, “Happiness Included: Jan Brady and Beyond.”

In the book, Plumb joked about the financial reality behind the show’s lasting popularity. “If I had a dime for every rerun episode, I’d pay off the national deficit. I don’t,” she wrote per the Daily Mail.

Plumb later doubled down on the statement during an appearance on the “PauseRewind” podcast. “To be clear, we don’t make residuals,” she explained.

The revelation shocked many longtime fans, considering “The Brady Bunch” has remained a television staple for decades through syndication and streaming reruns. 

The ABC sitcom originally aired from 1969 through 1974, but its cultural footprint never really disappeared.

‘Brady Bunch’ Cast Lost Their Rerun Payments Years Ago

Plumb is not the only “Brady Bunch” star who has spoken openly about the show’s lack of long-term financial rewards. 

Susan Olsen, who played Cindy Brady, previously explained why the cast no longer receives rerun money.

Appearing on Oprah Network’s “Where Are They Now,” Olsen revealed that the issue stemmed from television rules that existed before 1973. 

According to the star, actors at the time were compensated only for a limited number of rerun broadcasts.

She explained the cast was only “paid for reruns for the first 10 runs.” After that, the payments completely stopped. “So [we’ve] made no money since then,” Olsen said.

The residual checks reportedly dried up entirely in 1979 despite the sitcom continuing to air across networks for decades afterward.

‘Brady Bunch’ Salaries Were Tiny Compared To Modern TV Stars

Barry Williams, who portrayed Greg Brady, also previously addressed the surprisingly modest paychecks the cast received during the sitcom’s original run.

In his 1992 memoir “Growing Up Brady: I Was a Teenage Greg,” Williams explained how dramatically television salaries have changed since the 1970s.

“Salaries for sitcom actors have changed considerably since the ‘70s,” he wrote. The actor revealed that during the show’s last season, the highest-paid child actor on the series earned just barely over a thousand dollars per week.

“In our fifth and final year, the highest salary among us kids was $1,100 a week,” he shared. Although Williams acknowledged that earning roughly $24,000 during the final season was “not bad for a teenager,” he also noted the money disappeared quickly after taxes, commissions, and family expenses.

“It was enough to indulge in toys, but hardly enough to carry you through the slow periods that inevitably followed,” he explained. 

The original cast also included Maureen McCormick, Mike Lookinland, and Christopher Knight, all of whom became permanently linked to their iconic Brady characters.

‘Brady Bunch’ Money Drama Looks Worse Next To ‘Friends’ Success

The whopping financial difference between “The Brady Bunch” cast and modern sitcom stars became even more noticeable after Lisa Kudrow recently discussed “Friends” residuals.

Kudrow admitted that she and her co-stars still earn massive payouts from reruns of the beloved NBC comedy.

The actress, who played Phoebe Buffay from 1994 to 2004, starred alongside Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, and the late Matthew Perry.

Unlike the Brady cast, the “Friends” stars famously negotiated together throughout the show’s run. Their salaries eventually climbed from $22,500 per episode during the first season to a staggering $1 million each by the final two seasons.

Reports have also claimed the cast still earns around $20 million annually from the show’s continued popularity. The stars later reunited for HBO Max’s 2021 reunion special and reportedly received $2.5 million each for the appearance.

Susan Olsen Opens Up About The Downsides Of Playing Cindy Brady

In April 2025, Olsen opened up about the lasting impact of being typecast as Cindy Brady, admitting the role followed her long after “The Brady Bunch” ended. 

Speaking on “The Real Brady Bros” podcast with former co-stars Williams and Christopher Knight, Olsen reflected on constantly being cast as the “ditzy” or “stupid” child, saying, “That’s just how my career was, and it was something I had to accept.”  

As reported by The Blast, she recalled how frustrating it was to play a character so different from her real personality, with Williams telling her she was “so much smarter” and “edgier” than Cindy.   

Olsen also shared that even her son eventually noticed the pattern after watching one of her old Disney movies, joking, “So you always play the stupid child.”  

The actress admitted the role affected her deeply as a child, explaining she dreaded returning to public school because classmates treated her like Cindy in real life and teased her over the character’s “stupid” moments and lisp.
