Britney Spears‘ Instagram musings are interesting, to say the least, but now the subject of one of her musings has responded.
Back in 2022, Elton John and Britney teamed up for “Hold Me Closer,” a song that mashed up Elton’s hits “The One” and “Tiny Dancer.” Britney’s first new music in six years, the song became a top-10 hit. And Britney evidently still has a lot of fond feelings for the music icon.
On Instagram Sunday, she reposted a photo from Elton’s Instagram, showing him posing with Heartstopper star Kit Connor during a summer outing. She captioned it, “Sir Elton John. I’ve been thinking of you a lot I keep having the same dream!!! I have another baby and you pick her up and we have tea in London.”
“I bless you and you bless me because our intentions are true blood and I have someone to look up to… I sound silly as pie,” she added.
Elton reposted Britney’s post on his Instagram Story and wrote, “Sending you so much love @britneyspears.”

Cardi B held a joint celebration Saturday night in honor of her “Virgo babies,” Wave and Blossom Cephus. She shared a glimpse of the event on her Instagram Story, where one side of the event space was embellished with pink flowers for Blossom, who turned 1 on Sept. 7. The other half of the room had Spider-Man decor for Wave, who celebrated his fourth birthday on Sept. 4.
“Happy Birthday to my sweet no shirt shawty baby Blossom!! You are such a light in this house. You were so tiny to me when you was born now you my chunky momma,” Cardi wrote on Instagram, alongside a slideshow of photos of Blossom over the past year. “I love your sweet little face! When you cave your little head in my chest it automatically lights me up!! I love my little Blossom Belle.”
“Oooo and Happy Belated birthday to my son son Wave… have you ever had your son tell you ‘mommy you’re beautiful’?” she continued. “It melts your heart to the ground… but baby its back up when they destroying my furniture.” Photos of Wave from the birthday party were also included in the post.
Cardi shares Blossom and Wave with ex Offset, who is also the father of their oldest daughter, Kulture Kiari. In a recent interview with Billboard, she said motherhood turned her into “a real woman” and includes much sacrifice.
“I do everything for my kids. I’m the only provider and you know what? Ain’t no complaining about it,” she said. “I love them so much and they ground me.”

Fans who were unable to join Jeezy in person for his TM:101 Live tour still have a chance to participate in the festivities. The rapper is set to livestream his final show at Fox Theatre in Detroit on his YouTube channel.
“I’m truly grateful to give this moment to my fans everywhere. Whether you couldn’t get a ticket or we couldn’t make it to your city, this stream is my way of bringing the show to you,” Jeezy said in a statement. “You’ve supported me from day one, and I want everyone—no matter where you are—to feel part of this historic night. This is for all of us, worldwide.”
“This is hip-hop and music history in the making,” added Leo Bennet, Jeezy’s touring partner. “No hip-hop artist has ever taken a production of this magnitude nationwide, and the results have been absolutely magical.”
Jeezy’s TM:101 Live tour is black-tie event celebrating the 20th anniversary of his debut album, Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101. It features a symphonic reimagining of the album’s songs featuring The Color of Noize Orchestra. Derrick Hodge and Adam Blackstone conducted and arranged the sold-out tour.

In his original posts on Bluesky, Stipe clarified two particular lines in the song. He wrote, “It’s ‘Left of west and coming in a hurry with the Furies breathing down your neck,'” before correcting the following line, “Team by team reporters, baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped, Look at that low playing, fine, then.”
In another series of posts on Bluesky, Stipe has highlighted two more sets of lyrics folks may be getting wrong.
“Ok, its ‘feed it off an aux, speak, grunt no strength, the ladder start to clatter with fear fight down height, wire in a fire representing seven games, a government for hire and a combat site,’” he wrote in one post. Another clarified the lyric, “Uh-oh, overflow, population ‘common food, but it’ll do’, save yourself, serve yourself, world serves its own needs—listen to your heart bleed, dummy with the raptured and the revered and the right, right.”
On the second post he also commented about his writing style, joking, “And let it be said I’m of the lets eat grandma school of punctuation, so.”
“It’s the End of the World” appears on R.E.M.’s 1987 album, Document, which celebrated its 38th anniversary on Sept. 1. The track was the second single from the record, peaking at #69 on the Hot 100, although it went on to be one of the band’s signature tracks.

Sabrina Carpenter partnered with Van Leeuwen ice cream last year for a signature flavor inspired by her hit “Espresso.” Now Ed Sheeran is teaming with the company for a flavor inspired by the color of his upcoming album.
Peoplereports that on Wednesday, Van Leeuwen will launch Play Pink ice cream — two days before Ed’s album Play, which has a pink cover, is released. According to People, the frozen pink treat is punch-flavored and is swirled with dragonfruit and guava cake, making for Van Leeuwen’s “pinkest ice cream” ever. It’ll be available at New York City scoop shops for a limited time.
Play, which is the follow-up to Ed’s 2023 albums Subtract and Autumn Variations, features the previously released songs “Azizam,” “Sapphire,” “Old Phone” and “A Little More.” The day the album comes out he’ll release the video for “Camera.”
