Lynne Spears, the mother of pop music superstar Britney Spears, says that she has “mixed feelings” regarding the artist’s infamous conservatorship battle that has dominated the headlines in recent weeks. Lynne spoke with Ronan Farrow and Jia Tolentino in a new piece from the New Yorker, following Brittney’s viral testimony from last month.

“I got mixed feelings about everything,” Lynne admitted. “I don’t know what to think … It’s a lot of pain, a lot of worry.”

She added that she might have to “hang up abruptly” and that “I’m good. I’m good at deflecting.”

In her testimony, Britney says that she is “traumatized” by the conservatorship and her treatment under it.

“I would honestly like to sue my family, to be totally honest with you,” she said during her statement. “I also would like to be able to share my story with the world, and what they did to me, instead of it being a hush-hush secret to benefit all of them. I want to be able to be heard on what they did to me by making me keep this in for so long. It is not good for my heart. I’ve been so angry, and I cry every day.”

In response, there was an outpouring of support for Britney from fans and fellow celebrities alike.

Megan Fox says she wants to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe in an attempt to evolve as an actor. Fox discussed the idea and more in a lengthy new interview with the Washington Post.

Fox says she wants to take on more unconventional roles that she describes as “challenging” and “fun.” She provided the MCU and DC Comics as an example of franchises she’d like to work with.

“I want to grow into myself as an actor,” Fox told the Post. “I feel like I spent a lot of years not doing that because I sort of checked out from Hollywood. Now I’m ready to grow into myself.”

She added that she would also be interested in continuing the Jennifer’s Body IP with a new TV series: “I don’t think it’s a hard movie to make a sequel to. I mean, they should make it into a TV series. That would be cool.”

In a separate interview this week, Fox revealed that she still has a crush on Angelina Jolie and that Machine Gun Kelly is unlikely to take issue with it: “I think I said that years ago, I can’t imagine he would have a problem with it.”

Hawks star guard Trae Young will reportedly play in Atlanta’s Game 6 matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks, Saturday night, following a three-game absence nursing an ankle injury sustained after tripping over a referee’s foot in Game 3.

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Malika Andrews say that Hawks coach Nate McMillan expects the superstar to suit up.

As for the severity of Young’s injury, McMillan recently confirmed that it is a short-term problem: “It’s not anything that is long-term. He has had pain that is not comfortable enough for him to get out there and feel like he can help the team.”

Young, in his first career trip to the playoffs, is averaging 29.8 points and 9.5 assists per game.

As for the Bucks, the team will be without their star, Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has been ruled out with a hyperextension on his knee.

Game 6 between the Bucks and Hawks is set to tip-off at 8:30 PM, ET. The series is currently 3-2 in favor of the Bucks.

In contrast to the number of voices in the hip-hop community coming out in support of Sha’Carri Richardson, following her suspension for a positive marijuana test, Wack 100 says that she has “failed us as a people” as far as he is concerned. The United States Anti-Doping Association announced her suspension earlier this week, ahead of the Tokyo Olympics.

“Put her on the first thing smoking back to the dispensary!” Wack wrote alongside a photo of Richardson on Instagram. “A violation leads to punishment. Nobody is bigger than the program. Rules & regulations are there to be followed not ignored. She failed us as a people far as I’m concerned!”

Richardson says that she used the drug as a coping mechanism, in response to her mother’s death.

“We all have our different struggles, we all have our different things we deal with, but to put on a face and have to go out in front of the world and put on a face and hide my pain,” Richardson said in a statement on Friday. “Who are you? Who am I to tell you how to cope when you’re dealing with a pain or you’re dealing with a struggle that you’ve never experienced before or that you never thought you’d have to deal with. Who am I to tell you how to cope? Who am I to tell you you’re wrong for hurting?”

Royce Da 5’9 recently opened up about his battle with alcoholism and his subsequent recovery, during an interview with HipHopDX. Royce says it was in the company of Dr. Dre when he first began drinking.

“It was just so many years of just — excuse my language— fucking up,” Royce told the outlet while reflecting on the dark time in this life.

He explained: “Just doing bad stuff, doing, making really bad decisions, having myself in situations that quite honestly I just felt like I was better than. It’s just dumbing myself down a lot. It was just really hard to stand on anything when you’re letting go of your inhibitions all day, every day. This is the business for that, you know what I mean? Once I started reaching a certain age, you don’t look cool doing that shit for a long time. It’s like first they’re laughing with you, then they start to laugh at you.”

Royce eventually quit alcohol and drug use in 2012 to focus on his life as a husband and father. He says his longtime collaborator, Eminem, played a pivotal role in supporting his recovery.

“I like to call it a spiritual awakening. I just woke up one day and there [it] was… I felt like I was just up. I made the necessary phone calls. I called Marshall [Mathers], and I said ‘Yo, I’m stopping drinking. I’m not drinking no more.’ He was like ‘Dog, that’s the realest thing you’ve ever said to me. Come home.’”

Royce will celebrate his ninth year of sobriety in September.

Cardi B, following suit with a number of other voices in the hip-hop community, came to the defense of Sha’Carri Richardson on social media, Saturday. Richardson was suspended by the United States Anti-Doping Association after testing positive for marijuana use.

Cardi initially clapped back at reporter Claire Lehmann, who speculated that Richardson was using steroids. 

“Not sure whether the nails are real or fake, but in case you didn’t know very strong nails & hair can be a side effect of steroid use,” Lehmann tweeted, Friday.

“B I O T I N…….You needs for your thin ass hair,” replied Cardi.

Cardi took to Instagram to further comment on the situation:

This is how I feel about the Sha’Carri situation, right. I feel like we cannot turn time around. I feel like the Olympics are going to try and be so hard on her ’cause this has been a big situation. However, that doesn’t take away [from the fact] that she’s the most talked about athlete. Three years from now, she’s going to be the No. 1 most-anticipated to go to the Olympics.

Richardson says that she used the drug in Oregon, where it is legal, as a coping mechanism after learning of her mother’s death.
