#SHOWBIZ: Sheila Majid urges celebrities to be wiser on social media

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's Queen of Jazz, Datuk Sheila Majid, is urging fellow celebrities to use social media with more thought, warning that too much time online can harm their emotional well-being."We need to be smarter about how we use social media. I'm old-school, so when I post, it's purely to share useful information or raise awareness," the 60-year-old singer told Berita Harian today.
Sheila added that she takes her time before posting anything, especially photos, to avoid any negative reactions. "Not everyone is going to like us. I always think very carefully before uploading anything."
To protect her mental health, she also steers clear of reading harsh comments. "I don't bother with hurtful remarks. Who knows who they are; it could be an eight-year-old. There's no need to argue; they just want attention."
Sheila also manages her own Instagram account and never uses it to vent her frustrations. "There's no benefit in posting when you're angry," she said, though she acknowledged that every celebrity has their own approach.
"If someone wants to post eight selfies a day, that's entirely up to them."

Britney Spears baffles fans with ‘adoption' post — but it was just a joke, sources say

LOS ANGELES, July 19 — Pop icon Britney Spears raised eyebrows this week with an Instagram post that sent fans into a frenzy — but according to insiders, the excitement was all for nothing. 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.

Did Britney Spears adopt a baby or is she trolling Instagram?

Britney Spears (pic) caused a frenzy online when she seemingly announced she had adopted a baby girl. On Monday, the Toxic singer raised eyebrows with an Instagram post with a captioned that said, among other things, 'I want to let you guys know I adopted a beautiful baby girl.' Spears paired the message with a video of herself dancing and 3 winking emojis. 'Her name is Lennon London Spears,' she added. However, sources close to Spears say the Grammy-winning singer has not adopted a daughter and that the 'announcement' was a harmless joke. Along with her bit, Spears also wrote, 'Lennon today has on adorable dress !!! It says I'm NEW HERE !!!' she said with laughing emojis. Many fans speculated that she may have been sharing that she was adopting a dog, but sources told TMZ she in fact didn't adopt a fur baby either. Spears' post also claimed she has plans to move to Italy, but it turns out that's not happening either.
