Britney Spears' Son Jayden ‘Tries to Be Patient' With Her ‘Incredibly Embarrassing' Social Media Behavior
Britney Spears reportedly is desperate to rebuild her relationship with her teenage sons, but if she's truly sincere she needs to face the fact that she's no longer a teen sexpot — but a middle-aged mom — and stop embarrassing them with her outrageous antics and poses in sexy lingerie. According to a Globe report published on July 16, the 43-year-old 'Gimme More' singer spends her days posting videos for fans of her prancing around in bikinis and other near-nude outfits. But she also seems to want to get closer to her sons, Sean, 19, and Jayden, 18. She rarely saw them during her court-imposed conservatorship from 2008 to 2021, when from ages 2 and 1, their dad, her ex-husband Kevin Federline, had custody and raised them, supported by payments from her massive $60 million fortune. During a recent visit from younger son Jayden, Britney showered him with luxuries like letting him cruise around in her $200,000 sports car. But her supposed desire to win over her sons and become more of a real mom rings hollow. 'Jayden loves her and does his best to accept her, but knows she's never going to be a normal mom,' an insider told the Globe. 'He finds a lot of her social media posts incredibly embarrassing, especially the ones where she's dancing or talking in riddles. He's told her straight up that it upsets him and that his friends give him a hard time about it.' 'He tries to be patient — but if she doesn't start hearing him, it's hard to imagine that he won't distance himself again, which would be very sad.' Yes, despite her wealth and fame, Britney seemingly has a hard time facing reality. She's no longer a 17-year-old pop tart singing suggestive songs like 'Oops!… I Did It Again' in sexy schoolgirl outfits. She's a mom with teen sons and needs to tone down her image. Hopefully, she'll find a way — or help — to grow up, and after years of heartbreaking separation, enjoy basking in the love of her sons. Solve the daily Crossword

‘Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake' Continues To Look Really Lovely
The upcoming Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake still continues to impress and look lovely in its latest trailer. While the Western version of the Nintendo Direct omitted any mention of Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake, the Japanese version covered the game quite a bit. Thankfully, Square Enix uploaded the trailer to their channel and in English, too. Unlike the Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, this new instalment combines the first two games into one package. This makes sense, as the first two games were a lot shorter than the third game in the series. Moreover, Dragon Quest III was the narrative start of the original Erdrick trilogy, before Dragon Quest XI came along at least, and it makes sense storywise that the first two Dragon Quest games would follow the third for these remakes. It's also important to point out that in the first Dragon Quest, you only play as one character, that of Erdrick. Or, more accurately, the descendant that gets to use that name. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder The second game includes more characters for your group, but the first Dragon Quest is a more solitary endeavor, and it will be interesting to see how that plays out in this new remake. I am also loving the very British voice acting and dialogue. It fit really well for the Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, and this looks to be just as good, if not better. The other big news is that Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake will also be released on Switch 2, as well as the original Switch, which I think is great. Dragon Quest has a very Nintendo-specific heritage to it, and it just feels right that Nintendo's latest console would also be supported for a game like this. Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake will be released on October 30 for Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, via Steam. Follow me on X, Facebook and YouTube. I also manage Mecha Damashii and am currently featured in the Giant Robots exhibition currently touring Japan.

5 new to Netflix movies I'm adding to my watchlist in August 2025
Netflix has confirmed its slate for August 2025, and the streaming service's movie library has been well stocked with plenty of fresh additions. Among the newcomers this month are some cinematic classics, and for action-obsessives, a slew of 'Fast & Furious' films will arrive midway through the month. There will be plenty of new Netflix originals over the next several weeks as well, but in this article, I'm looking at the new library titles, which include the legendary 'Jurassic Park' (and it's much less impressive sequels), alongside a quintessential teen comedy that remains just as hilarious, and painfully relatable, even if the High School experience has changed. Let's dive into the five new to Netflix movies that I believe are most worthy of your attention this month. It's pretty much impossible to properly summarize the legacy of 'Jurassic Park.' The highest-grossing film ever made at the time of its release in 1993, and spawning half a dozen sequels (the latest is still playing in theatres), its reputation is as legendary as the T Rex that adorns its iconic poster. This sci-fi action-adventure broke new ground upon release and hasn't aged a bit. Decades later, it remains among the most beloved blockbusters ever. If you somehow don't know the basic plot of 'Jurassic Park' (have you been fossilized in amber since the '90s?), It's set within a vast theme park full of cloned dinosaurs. When a small group, including Alan Grant (Sam Neil), Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) and Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), is given the chance to tour the park before its grand opening to the public. This dream experience becomes a prehistoric nightmare when the dinosaurs break free and go on a rampage. Oh, and goosebumps are guaranteed when the classic theme kicks in. Watch "Jurassic Park" on Netflix now 'The Departed' is quite the rarity in Hollywood. It's an American remake of 2002's 'Infernal Affairs,' but it's no cheap rehash. Instead, it's a multi-Oscar winner helmed by one of the greatest filmmakers in history, Martin Scorsese, and packing a truly star-stuffed cast with Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg and more in top form. 'The Departed' centers on the war between the South Boston police and an Irish-American crime syndicate. To get the upper hand, rookie cop Billy Costigan (DiCaprio) goes undercover to get closer to gang leader Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson). At the same time, a young criminal (Matt Damon) has infiltrated the police unit and is informing for Costello. To protect their true allegiance, these two men must race against time to discover the other's identity and expose their opposite before they can be unmasked themselves. Watch "The Departed" on Netflix now Released in 1999, 'American Pie' is the definitive teen comedy for a whole generation of people. Some of its attitudes to sex (and frankly, women) are undoubtedly outdated, but there is still plenty of cringeworthy comedy that is worryingly relatable for a whole lot of us. It made household names of its cast of young upcomers, and spawned a franchise that ran through the 2000s and into the 2010s. But the original has always been the best slice of this pie. The coming-of-age story focuses on Jim (Jason Biggs), who makes a pact with his closest friends to all lose their virginity before their impending graduation. Naturally, this leads to many awkward moments and even a few life lessons. Also starring Tara Reid, Natasha Lyonne, Chris Klein and Sean William Scott (in his most iconic role), 'American Pie' remains a (mostly) delicious treat. Netflix also added the first sequel, and it's almost as much fun. Watch "American Pie" on Netflix now This month, Netflix is adding the first six 'Fast and Furious' movies (and spin-off 'Hobbs and Shaw'), while 2011's 'Fast Five' tends to get the most plaudits, and I have praised it many times in the past myself, this time I'm highlighting 'Furious 7.' Arguably, the series' blockbuster peak, by this point, the franchise's street race origins are gone, and Dom (Vin Diesel) and his crew are basically superheroes performing death-defying stunts with ease. In this seventh installment, Dom's team is recruited to prevent a global terrorist from obtaining a McGuffin of extreme power, but the plot trappings are unimportant. Viewers are here for the outrageous set pieces, and in this area, 'Furious 7' is unrivalled. The movie is also known for being Paul Walker's final appearance in the series before his tragic death, and this aspect is handled with remarkable grace that might just bring a tear to your eye. Watch "Furious 7" on Netflix from August 16 'Groundhog Day' is often ranked as among Billy Murray's very best comedies, and that's quite some achievement considering his filmography is bursting with very funny films. Directed by his 'Ghostbusters' co-star Harold Ramis, 'Groundhog Day' is seriously funny, but beyond the many laughs, it's also got a sweet romantic plot and a worthwhile message about seizing the day. Murray plays Phil Connors, a jaded TV weatherman, who travels to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, for the town's annual Groundhog Day celebration. But once there, he finds himself trapped in a time loop, forced to relive the same day over and over. As he repeats the same day dozens of times, he eventually starts to fall for his producer, Rita (Andie MacDowell), and becomes increasingly desperate to break free from his purgatory.
