Britney Spears baffles fans with ‘adoption' post — but it was just a joke, sources say
In a now-viral video shared on Monday, the Toxic singer danced while dropping what looked like a major life update.
'I want to let you guys know I adopted a beautiful baby girl,' she wrote, punctuated with three winking emojis.
'Her name is Lennon London Spears.'
But as reported by New York Daily News, sources close to Spears were quick to clarify that the Grammy winner hasn't adopted a child.
The post, they said, was just a bit of harmless fun.
Fans were left speculating whether the 43-year-old star was referring to a new pet instead.
After all, Spears also shared, 'Lennon today has on adorable dress !!! It says I'm NEW HERE !!!' complete with laughing emojis.
But TMZ sources claimed that no dog had been adopted either.
The pop star's post also hinted at plans to relocate to Italy, though those claims, too, appear to be wishful thinking — or more likely, part of the same playful fantasy.
While no new additions have been made to her family, Spears recently celebrated a heartfelt reunion with her youngest son, 18-year-old Jayden, after a long period apart.
She shares Jayden and his twin brother, Sean Preston, with ex-husband Kevin Federline.
In December, Spears called their Christmas together 'the best Christmas of my life.'
'I haven't seen my boys in 2 years !!!' she captioned a joyful Instagram post at the time.
'Tears of joy and literally in shock everyday koo koo crazy so in love and blessed !!! I'm speechless thank you Jesus !!!'
Later that month, she gushed again about her reunion with Jayden, writing: 'He came back and he feels older and smarter than me. He's a man and I cry everyday of my life because of the miracle and genius he is !!!'
While 'Lennon London Spears' may not be real, it's clear Britney is enjoying the freedom to express herself — even if it leaves fans scratching their heads.

Caught on the jumbotron: How literature helps us understand modern-day public shaming
LOS ANGELES, July 26 — The scene at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts on July 16 was steeped in irony. During Coldplay's Jumbotron Song — the concert segment where cameras pan over the crowd — the big screen landed on Andy Byron, then-CEO of data firm Astronomer, intimately embracing Kristin Cabot, the company's chief people officer. Both are married to other people. The moment, captured on video and widely circulated on social media, shows the pair abruptly recoiling as Coldplay's lead singer Chris Martin says: 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy.' Martin's comment — seemingly light-hearted at the time — quickly took on a different tone as online sleuths identified the pair and uncovered their corporate roles and marital statuses. Within days, Byron resigned from his position as CEO while Cabot is on leave. This spectacle raises a deeper question: why does infidelity, especially among the powerful, provoke such public outcry. Literary tradition offers some insight: intimate betrayal is never truly private. It shatters an implicit social contract, demanding communal scrutiny to restore trust. When trust crumbles publicly French philosopher Paul Ricoeur's notion of 'narrative identity' suggests we make sense of our lives as unfolding stories. The promises we make (and break) become chapters of identity and the basis of others' trust. Betrayal ruptures the framework that stitches private vows to public roles; without that stitch, trust frays. Byron's stadium exposure turned a marital vow into a proxy for professional integrity. Public betrayal magnifies public outcry because leaders symbolise stability; their personal failings inevitably reflect on their institutions. When Astronomer's board stated the expected standard 'was not met,' they were lamenting the collapse of Byron's narrative integrity — and, by extension, their company's. This idea — that private morality underpins public order — is hardly new. In Laws, ancient Greek philosopher Plato described adultery as a disorder undermining family and state. Roman philosopher Seneca called it a betrayal of nature, while statesman Cicero warned that breaking fides (trust) corrodes civic bonds. The social cost of infidelity in literature Literature rarely confines infidelity to the bedroom; its shockwaves fracture communities. French sociologist Émile Durkheim's idea of the 'conscience collective' holds that shared moral norms create 'social solidarity.' As literature demonstrates, violations of these norms inevitably undermines communal trust. Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina (1875-77) dramatises the social fracture of betrayal. Anna's affair with Count Vronsky not only defies moral convention but destabilises the aristocratic norms that once upheld her status. As the scandal leads to her ostracisation, Anna mourns the social world she has lost, realising too late that 'the position she enjoyed in society… was precious to her… [and] she could not be stronger than she was.' In Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary (1857), Emma Bovary's extramarital affairs unravel the networks of her provincial town, turning private yearning for luxury and romance into public contagion. Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter (1850) makes this explicit: Hester Prynne's scarlet 'A' turns her sin into civic theatre. Public shaming on the scaffold, the novel suggests, delineates moral boundaries and seeks to restore social order — a process that prefigures today's 'digital pillories,' where viral moments subject individuals to mass online judgment and public condemnation. Domestic crumbs and digital scaffolds Contemporary narratives shift the setting but uphold the same principle: betrayal devastates the mundane rituals that build trust. Nora Ephron's autobiographical novel Heartburn (1983), based on her own marriage's collapse to investigative journalist Carl Bernstein, weaponises domesticity. Heartburn's protagonist Rachel Samstat delivers her emotions through recipes — 'Vinaigrette' as a marker of intimacy and betrayal, 'Lillian Hellman's Pot Roast' as a bid for domestic stability and 'Key Lime Pie,' hurled at her cheating husband — become symbols of a life undone by public infidelity. Ephron's satire, later adapted into a film, anticipates our digital age of exposure, where private pain fuels public consumption and judgment. Jenny Offill's Dept. of Speculation (2014), which draws from her own life, shows another perspective: betrayal as quiet erosion. Offill never depicts the affair directly; instead, the husband's absences, silences and an off-hand reference to 'someone else' create a suffocating dread. This indirection shows betrayal's power lies in its latent potential, slowly dismantling a life built on trust before any overt act. Both works underscore betrayal's impact on the collective conscience: a lie fractures a family as fundamentally as a CEO's indiscretion erodes institutional trust. Power magnifies the fallout by turning private failings into public symbols of fragility. Even hidden betrayal poisons the shared rituals binding any group, making the notion of 'private' unsustainable long before any public revelation. The limits of power Literature acknowledges power's protective veneer from consequence — and its limits. Theodore Dreiser's Trilogy of Desire (1912–47), modelled on the Gilded Age robber baron Charles Yerkes, follows the rise of financier Frank Cowperwood, whose power shields him — until it doesn't. Even his vast empire proves vulnerable once his adultery becomes public. The very networks that protected him grow wary. Though many critics of the elite are themselves morally compromised in the trilogy, Cowperwood's transgression becomes a weapon to discredit him. His brief exile shows that power may defer, but cannot erase, the costs of betrayal. Once trust fractures, even the powerful become liabilities. They do not fall less often — only more conspicuously. Gender also plays a role in shaping these narratives. Male protagonists like Cowperwood rebound as tragic anti-heroes, their moral failings recast as flaws of character. By contrast, women — think Flaubert's Emma Bovary or Hawthorne's Hester Prynne — are branded cautionary figures, their transgressions stigmatised rather than mythologised. This imbalance in assigning consequences reveals a deeper societal judgment: while broken trust demands repair, the path to restoration often depends on the transgressor's gender. The unblinking eye From Tolstoy's salons to TikTok's scroll, literature offers no refuge from betrayal's ripple effects. When private trust visibly fractures, communal reflexes kick in. Scarlet letters, exile or a CEO's resignation all aim to heal the collective trust. The jumbotron, like Hester's scaffold, is the latest instrument in this age-old theatre of exposure. Jumbotrons. Scaffolds. Same operating system. Same shame. — Reuters

Go big or go cosmic: Marvel's RM340 Galactus popcorn bucket sets Guinness World Record (VIDEO)
LOS ANGELES, July 26 — A colossal US$80 (RM340) popcorn container shaped like Marvel's planet-devouring villain Galactus is offering a unique twist on movie snacks. During its unveiling in Los Angeles, the container drew excited fans to the TCL Chinese Theatre and set a Guinness World Record. The mammoth movie snack holder, tied to the upcoming Fantastic Four: First Steps film, measures 20 inches (51 cm) wide and 17.5 inches tall. It boasts a capacity of 341 ounces (10 litres) — enough to satisfy even Galactus' cosmic appetite. Lacey Noel, a tour guide at the TCL Chinese Theatre, presented the bucket to eager onlookers. 'It is US$80 and people are currently eating it up,' she said. The Galactus container isn't just about size. It features a metallic finish and piercing bright blue LED eyes, adding to its appeal as a display piece long after the popcorn is gone. Fans lined up at the theatre's concession stand, eager to get their hands on the limited-edition item. This record-breaking popcorn bucket represents more than just a novel way to serve cinema snacks. It's part of a broader strategy by movie studios and theatres to lure audiences back to the big screen with exclusive, tangible experiences that can't be replicated at home. Chris Banda, a fan who purchased the Galactus bucket, praised the initiative. 'I think these buckets are fantastic,' he said. 'I obviously wouldn't have got this if I didn't come to the theatres and I think it's designed very well and it's got a lot of popcorn, so cool.' — Reuters

Photo: Myolie Wu/Instagram Hong Kong actress Myolie Wu is vacationing with her family in the Maldives and, in the process, dispelling any lingering rumours that her marriage is on the rocks. 'Our annual date with the ocean, love this paradise!' the 45-year-old wrote on social media on July 23, sharing several photos of herself and her family at a lagoon resort. The actress, who recently starred in Chinese TV series A Better Life (2025), is married to British-born businessman Philip Lee, 52. They have three sons, aged four to seven. The five of them were all dressed in shades of blue in the photos, with Wu resting her hands on her husband's shoulder in one picture. She added on Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu: 'Although the weather isn't great, it's a sunny day as long as we are together!' Lee was in the news in March when he was spotted by a Hong Kong magazine hugging several women at a pub while celebrating his birthday. He took to Instagram to address the report, saying that he was a 'big hugger'. Wu did not react publicly to the incident for a while. Neither did she appear in the Instagram photos posted by Lee of their youngest son's birthday in April, raising speculation of marital woes. The actress broke her silence in May, telling the media that it was a misunderstanding. 'In fact, those who were present that night were close friends and relatives,' she said. 'The two ladies who were photographed hugging my husband are friends whom I have known for many years, and their husbands were also present.' Wu added: 'My husband hugged both men and women. It was normal social interaction with his friends.' Referring to her marriage, she said: 'There are absolutely no problems in our relationship.' – The Straits Times/Asia News Network View this post on Instagram A post shared by Myolie Wu (@myoliemyolie)
