Britney Spears apologises for smoking on plane
The 43-year-old pop star has taken to social media to issue an apology, after she was recently reported to have smoked a cigarette and drank alcohol while on an plane.
Britney wrote on Instagram: "It's actually incredibly funny. Some planes I've been on you can't smoke mostly, but this one was different because the drinkholders were on the outside of the seat.
"Confession: It was my first time drinking VODKA!!! I swear I felt so SMART!!! [laughing emojis] I was like, 'Wow what the heck is in there.' I felt so clear and smart, and said, 'I want a cigarette so bad!!!'
"My friend put it in my mouth and lit... it up for me so I was like OH SO THIS IS A PLANE WHERE YOU CAN SMOKE !!! I do so apologize to anyone I offended but the flight attendants always make sure I'm way at the back of plane anyways!!! (sic)"
Britney subsequently complained about the behaviour of one particular flight attendant.
The pop star - who was flying from Cabo San Lucas in Mexico to Los Angeles - described the flight attendant's conduct as "weird".
Britney explained: "The flight attendant called officials because I smoked a cigarette !!! And embarrass me which jeez I thought was kinda much but she didn't like me the moment I got on plane !!!
"Nobody was on the plane for first 20 minutes and she wouldn't let me get out of my seat I wanted to stand up !!! She acted so weird about making sure I sat down and it was weird !!! I didn't like the way she put the seatbelt on me and invaded my space !!! (sic)"
Meanwhile, Britney previously admitted that she burned off her eyebrows and eyelashes after attempting to turn on the fireplace in her bedroom.
The pop singer shared via social media in 2024: "Six months ago something happened that was really, really dangerous. I was in my room and I turned the fire on and all of a sudden it blew up in my face."

Britney Spears' notorious Mercedes going up for auction
Britney Spears' famous black Mercedes is going up for auction. The Toxic hitmaker was regularly pictured behind the wheel of the 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK350 in 2007 when her life began spiralling out of control and after the convertible spent almost 15 years on display at the Volo Auto Museum in Illinois, it is now being auctioned off. The museum are putting a number of their vehicles and vintage items up for auction between 1 and 7 August, including the Mercedes, TMZ reports. Britney was regularly followed by paparazzi during the time she owned the car and was seen driving through red lights in a bid to shake off the photographers, and the vehicle was also involved in a hit-and-run incident in August 2007. The Gimme More singer bumped into another car in a Los Angeles parking lot but charges were later dropped when she reached a settlement with the other driver. Perhaps most notoriously, Britney was in the Mercedes when she famously got out and attacked a paparazzo's car with an umbrella, having recently shaved her head. Volo believe the vehicle is the most documented celebrity-owned car of all time. Earlier this month, the 43-year-old star revealed she had bought herself a new car but "hates" it already. She wrote on Instagram: "Got a new car but I hate it. The roof doesn't come off, WTF !!! The pedals are not like my old car at all. I almost ran into my house, oh well !!!" Britney who regained control of her multimillion-dollar fortune and various aspects of her life when a conservatorship that had been governed by her immediate family was terminated in November 2021 - also bought a new car towards the end of last year but admitted at the time that she had "no idea" what it was. She said: "l'm driving in my new car. I have no idea what kind of car this is. I think it's a cheap "Corolla or something. But it feels like, almost like a, it just kind of drives by itself. Corrola is a model by Toyota, but when the camera panned around, the steering wheel revealed the Nissan logo. Despite her apparent confusion, the '...Baby One More Time' hitmaker was "excited" to be taking her new car for a spin. She said: "But I'm excited because I'm going to go ride horses. I'm excited, here we go. Yes, oh God. It just kind of drives by itself. But l'm excited because l'm going to go ride horses. I'm excited, here we go. Yes, oh God."

Fuming Justin Timberlake screams at stage crew as performance is riddled with ‘embarrassing' issues
Justin Timberlake was seen screaming at his stage crew during his performance at the Lytham Festival in Lytham St Annes, England, earlier this month. The pop star seemed to lose his cool when his set was cut short due to a sound issue, according to a fan video shared via TikTok. In the clip, Timberlake was approached by two crew members who seemingly told him it was going to take a while to fix the issue. Visibly upset, Timberlake seemed to raise his voice at the two men while shaking his head and making angry hand gestures. Ironically, he was in the middle of singing his 2002 break-up anthem, Cry Me A River, which is rumoured to be about his ex-girlfriend Britney Spears. Despite the festival's crowd cheering for Timberlake as he spoke into the microphone, several netizens called out the *NYSNC star's behaviour, with one writing via X, 'HOW EMBARRASSING!!' 'Justin Timberlakes audio CUTS OFF right as he performs his Britney Spears hate anthem 'Cry Me A River.' I'm not saying he deserved it, but gods [sic] timing is always right. Cry ME a river Justin.' 'Losing it with your support crew is considered highly unprofessional in the world of stage performance,' another added in the comments of a TikTok video. Others begged lip-readers to transcribe what Timberlake was telling his crew, with one person writing, 'I want to know what they're talking [about].' However, many supporters rushed to defend Timberlake, with one saying, 'He hardly looks like he's losing it. Just annoyed. I would be too.' 'I don't blame him for being a bit peeved,' another chimed in. 'He's trying to entertain his fans that [sic] paid money to see him.' 'I'd be mad too damn,' a third agreed. A rep for Timberlake did not immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment. Timberlake took the stage in the UK after cancelling his final Forget Tomorrow World Tour stop in Ohio back in February. At the time, the hit maker claimed that he had the flu, but fans were infuriated after several allegedly received the cancellation notice 15 minutes before showtime. The Mirrors singer is currently in Europe for his tour, which is set to conclude in Turkey on July 30.
