Britney Spears tantalized fans with her upcoming wedding plans by confirming none other than Donatella Versace was designing her gown.

Donatella told Entertainment Tonight of their recent meeting, “I went to see Britney because I always care about her. The last time she was in Milan was like 15 years ago, so I brought a few pictures to show to her. She was so moved.”
“She went through hell and back… I cannot imagine what she went through,” the fashion pioneer remarked of Britney’s 13-year conservatorship that was terminated late last year. She said Britney was in “great spirits” during their meeting and called her “special” as well as someone with “a good heart.”
It is currently unknown when Britney will tie the knot with fiancé Sam Asghari. The two announced their engagement in September.
As for Sam, he also caught up with Entertainment Tonightat the Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Party on Sunday night to talk about their upcoming big day. “Everything’s amazing. We’re so excited to be starting a new chapter,” he expressed. “Everything is so positive from here on out.”
Sam also revealed he “doesn’t think we’ll have a bachelor party” because he thinks “they are in the past.” He also joked that he’s currently holding auditions for his best man.

“Took me a couple days to wrap my head around this night. This was a decade in the making. It was by far the most incredible night of my career so far,” Russell professes in the caption. “Thank you to every single one of y’all who came out and made this night so special! See y’all across the street next time. I LOVE YOU FAM!!!!!!!!!”

USA Today announced its 2022 Women of the Year on Monday, and the list includes Vice President Kamala Harris and Olympic Gold medalist, Simone Biles.
In recognizing the 64 honorees who “are strong and resilient women who have been champions of change across the country,” USA Today highlighted Biles, her career as the most accomplished gymnast of all time, her impact on mental health and more.
Biles took time away from gymnastics last year to focus on mental health and the 25-year-old says she’s glad she did. “Now with mental health being a huge topic that we talk about basically on the daily now, they’re (people) always telling me, ‘Thank you so much. You’ve done so much for me and my family, my friends. Now I’m going to go get help.’ So it really does mean a lot to me that a lot of people are now trying to get the help that they not only deserve but that they need,” she said.
She says her mom, Nellie Biles, is her biggest role model and on being courageous she says, “…having courage to speak up, speak out, even if you’re the only one doing that.”
Taking on the role as the first-ever woman, woman of color and South Asian American to reach vice president, Kamala Harris passed along a message of resilience and strength for women.
“Know you are not alone. Know that you are supported and know that your voice is strong,” she said. “It’s strong, and don’t let any circumstance diminish that or take your power from you. You are powerful. … You are strong.”
The 2022 list, which notably highlights many women of color, also includes Kizzmekia Corbett, National Institute of Health’s lead scientist for coronavirus vaccine research and Michelle Browder, an activist from Alabama.

Once Mariah was locked in for the feature, Latto says she was “sooooo nervous” to work alongside her. “I was like what do I say y’all lol but the conversation just floweddd she was so genuine and I definitely was overthinking.”
Mariah returned the love in a response tweet to Latto’s Sunday birthday message to the singer, and congratulated the younger star on all of her success.
“So excited for this moment dahhhhllling!!!!! So happy and proud of you and all you’re accomplishing!!!,” Mariah said. “But I don’t have BIRTHDAYS! ‘It’s my anniversary!!!’ Congratulations Beautiful.”
The best part of working with the “Fantasy” singer, was “HEARING HER HIT THAT HIGH NOTE IN PERSON!!!!,” Latto said.

12 years later, Olivia will experience a full circle moment when she will not only take the Grammys stage, but vie for seven awards for her debut studio album, SOUR. Olivia explained how transformative Bey’s performance was for her, recalling toPeople, “I remember watching it like 25 times, being so enamored with her.”
The 19-year-old singer added, “It’s so crazy that, maybe one day, a younger girl’s going to watch my performance many times and think that it’s cool. That’s the dream. That’s all I want.”
Olivia is up for several major awards on Sunday, including Album of the Year. She said of her studio debut, “The process of making SOUR, and putting it out in the world really challenged me, and I’ve grown so much, and I’ve learned so much more about myself… I definitely feel like I am a more confident person today because of it.”
The “brutal” singer revisited making her breakthrough album in the recently premiered Disney+ doc Olivia Rodrigo: driving home 2 u, and said making it was “super nostalgic” for her. “It was all kind of about revisiting this past era of my life, and closing that chapter,” she noted.
In addition to nostalgia, Olivia also looks at the heartbreak that inspired that album in a new light and dives into what she was feeling at the time.
The documentary also includes a never-before-heard demo that she co-wrote with producer Daniel Nigro. Olivia recalled feeling “so sad” when making that song. “And I’m still not over it,” she added, saying she wrote the song when she saw her ex “with someone else, which was devastating to me.”

BTS will soon be making new music with Snoop Dogg. The “Drop It Like It’s Hot” rapper confirmed that he is hashing out details with the Grammy-nominated singers.
“I’m going to let them tell you about it,” he told The AV Clubwhile walking the red carpet premiere of American Song Contest. “It’s official like a referee with a whistle. I love that entertainment world. It’s good music. It’s [a] vibe.”
BTS has long admired Snoop and even referenced his music in their 2014 track “Hip Hop Phile.” Admiration is a two-way street and the rapper says he has nothing but respect for the “Butter” singers.
“I love that entertainment world. It’s good music. It’s [a] vibe. I make good music. They make good music,” he said when talking about why it’s natural for them to collab. “And we end up doing this. This is what it’s always about, bringing our worlds together.”
“I’ve been experiencing the K-pop experience for a long time, connected to the music world [and] scene,” he added, noting his work with 2NE1, PSY and girl pop group Girls Generation. “Come on now, it’s what I do.”
Snoop first hinted something was in the works when appearing on the Mogul Talk podcast in January, when he said BTS is “waiting on me to do a song with them right now.” He also admitted finding time to make music with the septet was a little dicey given his ultra jammed packed schedule.
As for BTS, Suga said in an interview with the BBC last July that the group is thinking about offering more hip-hop focused tracks in the future.
No word yet on when we can expect the new track. Stay tuned!
