Britney Spears previously told fans she’s “in the process of buying a new home.” Now it appears she may be settling on buying Drake‘s estate.
TMZ captured Britney checking out the “One Dance” rapper’s Hidden Hills property, dubbed the YOLO Estate, which hit the market on Monday. Interest in the sprawling estate has been hot, with TMZ reporting each showing has amassed somewhere between 20 to 30 guests.
Britney and fiancé Sam Asghari were among the many spectators, but not much else is known about their visit or what they think about Drake’s old stomping grounds.
The house is actually three houses combined into one package that’s selling for a cool $14.8 million. The estate has its own theater, swimming pool, waterfalls, tennis courts, bars and a recording studio.
Last month, Britney told fans via Instagram, “It’s time for change!!!!” She continued in the post about her current home, “I’ve lived in this house for 7 years…I’ve been pretty modest about the home I live in now !!!!”
Britney’s apparent house shopping comes in the wake of reports that she signed a tell-all book deal worth $15 million, which should help with a down payment on her future place.
Bryan Adams‘ new album So Happy It Hurts, released today, was created during the pandemic lockdown of 2020. But unlike some artists who made records during that time because they didn’t have anything else to do, Bryan says this particular album was always on his “to-do” list.
“I was going to make a record, but once the lockdown kicked in, I just completely immersed myself in it,” Bryan tells ABC Audio. “And it didn’t take very long ’cause I had a fair amount of ideas.”
“I finally got to clear all the pieces of paper out of my coat pockets that had all these things written on them, and put them all on a big board in the studio,” he adds. “And just one by one, [I] went through them to see which ones were working.”
But due to the pandemic, Bryan says he had to do all the recording himself.
“I decided to live my lifelong dream of being a drummer,” he explains. “Every day I would go in and mess around with the songs and put down rough drum tracks. And if in the next morning it didn’t sound great, I would just record it again.”
The album’s sole guest is Monty Python legend John Cleese, who delivers a dramatic yet comedic intro to the song “Kick A**.” Bryan first met Cleese when he photographed him for a charity project, and then unexpectedly ran into him again.
“We were [seated] together at a lunch and I had this song…,” Bryan recalls. “I’d put my voice at the beginning, and I didn’t really like it. So when I was talking to him, I was just noticing how well he spoke. And I said, ‘John, would you be interested in doing the narration for a song?’ And he went, ‘Well, of course!'”
After a week of teasing, Yungblud has premiered his new single, “The Funeral,” alongside a video starring Ozzy Osbourne.
The clip, which streaming now on YouTube, begins the Prince of Darkness peering over the “Fleabag” rocker lying down in a coffin in an otherwise empty room. “Hang on, is this a f***ing funeral?” Ozzy asks. “Where the f*** is everybody?”
Cut to Yungblud rocking out the Billy Idol-esque tune in front of a moshing audience. When he leaves the club at the end of the video, he’s immediately hit by a car driven by Sharon Osbourne.
“What the f*** was that?” Ozzy asks from the passenger seat, to which Sharon responds, “Just some f***ing poser.”
The metal legend then declares, “Ah, run him over again then.”
“The lyrics are literally me listing off everything I’m insecure about,” Yungblud says of “The Funeral,” which is available now via digital outlets. “If you identify with what you don’t like about yourself and own it, no one can say anything that you haven’t already said to yourself. You become bulletproof.”
“This song’s about owning those insecurities and just being f***ing fearless,” he adds. “It’s about ego, death, rebirth and f***ing dancing on your grave.”
“The Funeral” follows Yungblud’s 2021 single “Fleabag,” which currently sits in the top 10 on Billboard‘s Alternative Airplay chart. Yungblud’s latest album is his 2020 sophomore effort, Weird!
The reality TV star and entrepreneur spoke to Variety when she advised women, “Get your f**king a** up and work. It seems like nobody wants to work these days.”
The comments, which also ran on an online video, drew flak all over social media, including from The Good Place‘s Jameela Jamil, who wasn’t having it.
“I think if you grew up in Beverly Hills with super successful parents in what was simply a smaller mansion … Nobody needs to hear your thoughts on success/work ethic,” Jamil wrote on Twitter.
In reference to Kim saying she has the same 24 hours in a day that other women have, Jamil replied, “99.9% of the world grew up with a VERY different 24 hours.”
While Jamil admitted that Kim and her famous sisters are a “super impressive family of businesswomen” with “a genius manager in their mother” who have put in, “their own hard work and personal sacrifices,” she also noted there’s “a LOT of photoshop and a decision to not care about misleading people about their beauty claims whilst never disclosing how much secret work goes into their appearances…”
Jamil ended with, “Just take the money, use it for good and chill the f*** out when lecturing others about grind and hustle. And learn how to brag without putting others down who have less.”
Her comments were liked by actress Yvette Nicole Brown, who offered in the comments, “Lecturing those who weren’t born on third base about their work ethic is ridiculously rude and disrespectful.”
(NEW YORK) — With inflation at a 40-year high, Americans are seeking ways they can save some money on everything from gas to groceries.
The next time you hit a supermarket, there are several strategies you can use to help you stay on budget. Buying frozen meat and produce, opting for generic brands and buying in bulk are just some ways you can compensate for record-high prices.
ABC News’ Becky Worley shared more tips consumers can use the next time they shop for groceries:
(NEW YORK) — On March 26, 1997, an anonymous caller directed police to a mansion outside San Diego where authorities soon discovered the largest mass suicide on U.S. soil.
The 39 victims found within the home were all members of a strange and secretive cult called Heaven’s Gate, which had a goal to transcend to “higher beings” by spaceship.
Watch the full story on “20/20” TONIGHT at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.
The anonymous caller was Rio DiAngelo, a surviving member who left the group after three years and was to stay behind and tell the world about the group’s story.
“I was always looking for answers, looking for purpose in my life,” said DiAngelo. “I loved these people … it meant everything to me.”DiAngelo first spoke to ABC News’ Diane Sawyer in 1997.
“We lived like we were living in a monastery. We were all celibate individuals, looking forward to self advancement,” said DiAngelo.
Heaven’s Gate began in the early 1970s by co-founders Marshall Herff Applewhite and Bonnie Lou Nettles. Applewhite was the son of a Presbyterian preacher and became a talented stage actor and singer. He struggled with his sexuality and had a complicated relationship with his father.
At a moment in his life when he was depressed, hearing voices in his head and having apocalyptic visions, he met Nettles. She was a nurse and mother of four children. She had already believed in UFOs and astrology prior to meeting Applewhite.
According to former friends and colleagues, she said the voices in his head may be spirits from above telling him he one day could be a divine teacher.
Applewhite and Nettles told their followers that the human body was a “vehicle” to carry their soul and that the savior had returned in the human form of Applewhite, who was called “Do.”
They set out to start their own religion and seek out followers. They told people interested that, if they joined them, they could learn how to be pure enough to be invited to heaven too.
Over the course of several years, Applewhite and Nettles required their followers to adhere to increasingly more strange and severe rules, including severing all contact with family and friends and encouraging adopting an asexual appearance. In later years, some members of the group underwent castration.
Now nearly 25 years later, DiAngelo reflected on where his life is now. He says he still feels the presence of Applewhite and Nettles.
“Mostly, it’s just feeling. I don’t get words, but mostly it’s just feeling,” said DiAngelo.
DiAngelo said he made the choice to move on.
“I tried to get a job and people would not hire me because they thought I was part of some crazy thing. And so it’s really a matter of choice for me to get along with my career, my life, just so people would not look at me,” said DiAngelo. “It’s not about me, you know?”
DeAngelo, now a retired art director, said he’s reunited with his mother and is focusing on spending more time with his granddaughter.
“I’m a regular guy. I’m tryin’ to be more of myself,” said DeAngelo. “And a better person in every way I can.”

(NOTE LANGUAGE) Lil Durk finally dropped his highly anticipated 7220 album on Friday, after postponing the release for nearly three weeks.
When the clock struck midnight, the 17-track album and all of its hard-hitting, fresh, personal, bar-heavy bangers were made available for listening and streaming.
Durk had originally planned to release the project on 2/22, the same day Kanye’s Donda 2 was expected and delayed, but the Chicago rapper instead dropped only a single — one that for sure got the people talking.
In the song “Ahhh Ha,” Durk seemingly responds to NBA YoungBoy’s “Bring the Hook,” which appeared to be a diss track about the late rapper King Von. Durk and King Von were not only lifelong close friends but also members of the Durk-lead record label, Only The Family (OTF).
The release of Von’s posthumous album, What It Means to Be King last Friday could have contributed to Durk’s new 3/11 release date. Durk took to his Instagram to post a photo of Von’s album cover, in support of the rapper who was shot and killed in Atlanta last year.
As part of Durk’s final effort to promote the new album before its Friday release, he shared the visual for the Jerry Production-directed “Golden Child” single on Thursday.
A notable line in the song goes, “I bought my Lamb’ with cash // That boy dead, I’m glad // I don’t speak tongues, period // I don’t f*** with (DJ) Vlad // In New York, I dress like Fab // Too rich to jump in cabs.”
Landing at number five on the track list, “Golden Child” falls in line with the other 16 explicit, yet powerful, poetic songs.
Here’s the full 7220 track list:
“Started From”
“Headtaps”
“Ahhh Ha”
“Shootout @ My Crib”
“Golden Child”
“No Interviews”
“Petty Too” ft. Future
“Barbarian”
“What Happened to Virgil” ft. Gunna
“Grow Up / Keep It on Speaker”
“Smoking & Thinking”
“Blocklist”
“Difference Is” ft. Summer Walker
“Federal Nightmares”

Michael Bublé is ramping things up for the release of his new album, Higher, due out March 25.
The Canadian superstar has booked a series of TV appearances for later this month, including The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on March 16, and both Good Morning America and The View on March 18. On March 29, he’ll appear on The Kelly Clarkson Show.
Michael then heads to Europe for a series of promotional appearances, and will then return to the U.S. for his previously announced Las Vegas residency at Resorts World, which runs April 27 to May 7.
Meanwhile, he’s just released the Latin-flavored title track of Higher, one of the original tracks on the new album.
As previously reported, Higher also features a duet with country legend Willie Nelson on Nelson’s song “Crazy,” a cover of Paul McCartney‘s song “My Valentine” that was produced by the Beatles legend himself, and Michael’s renditions of standards and pop classics like Bob Dylan‘s “Make You Feel My Love” and “A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square.”
A teenager and an older man dying from dementia form a special bond in the new Apple TV+ series The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey, premiering today.
Dominique Fishback, who stars alongside Samuel L. Jackson, tells ABC Audio there were a lot parallels between herself and her character, Robyn, including an incident that happened just last week.
“[It was the] ten-year anniversary of my grandma passing from cancer. She had to live in an apartment with my mom and I in east New York, Brooklyn,” the Judas and the Black Messiah actress recalls. “It was very small. We don’t really have the tools, the money to like, make sure she is the most comfortable. But you do what you can and you give love how you can. And when I saw this and saw that this character was going to be the caretaker of this man when everybody else kind of left him alone, left him to rot, I thought that that was really empowering.”
Fishback, 30, says she also learned a lot from her 73-year-old co-star, including one important lesson.
“Sam, he shows up to set and he just is who he is. He is himself. And that’s the greatest gift that you can give anybody and you can give yourself is to be yourself. And even if you feel like you made a mistake, you say, like, ‘I was just being myself.’ You just got to be yourself at the end of day,” she shares.
The six-episode limited series The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey kicks off with the first two episodes, followed with a new one streaming every Friday thereafter.
