Britney Spears is a certified Belieber. On June 7, Spears recalled meeting a 15-year-old Justin Bieber while on tour and called him a “timeless genius” in an Instagram post. The “Gimme More” singer shared an Instagram video in which she dances to “I Don’t Care,” Bieber’s hit collaboration with Ed Sheeran, and shared her memories in the caption.

“@justinbieber I remember when you visited me in my dressing room on tour and your beautiful little mamma walked in and said ‘do you know where a tanning bed is?’” she wrote. “You were 15 and you were adorable! Thank you for your music.” Spears went on to call him a “little devil,” saying she knows he’s gotten devious since she’s the mother of two boys herself, but clarified that she still loved his work regardless. “You’re a timeless genius and I will always dance to your music !!!” she promised.

Bieber has not publicly responded to Spears’ glowing praise, but he has shown love to the pop icon before. In October 2021, his wife Hailey dressed in four of Spears’ most iconic looks for Halloween, including the red catsuit from her “Oops... I Did It Again” video. Bieber posted her “Baby One More Time” school uniform costume on Instagram, writing, “Baby you killed this. @britneyspears we love you.”

There are some celebrities you always expect to see at the Met Gala and those who seem to prefer a quiet night at home. On Saturday, May 28, pop icon Britney Spears revealed she was one of the latter. Apparently, Spears was supposed to walk the steps this year, making her debut. But she posted on Instagram that she decided to skip it.

Britney shared a video of herself posing in her living room in what looked like a short red one-piece with long sleeves, covered in a pattern of black hearts, and some chunky black boots. She moved back and forth at different angles for viewers and showed off her little cat, who could also be seen wandering in the background at one point.

In the caption, Spears wrote, “I was gonna go to Met Gala but instead I got in the tub with my dog and put pjs on !!! I hate flying !!!”

Rebel Wilson has revealed Britney Spears herself approved the idea of Rebel recreating the ‘You Drive Me (Crazy)’ music video in her upcoming Netflix movie. This is why the entire set was recreated and pays homage to Britney according to Rebel in a recent interview.

— ‘Senior Year’ premieres May 13th on Netflix!

Full interview

Rebel Wilson got Britney Spears' OK before using the singer's track in her upcoming flick. ET's Denny Directo spoke to the 42-year-old actress ahead of the release of Netflix's Senior Year, and she revealed what went into getting to recreate the music video for Spears' 1999 song, "(You Drive Me) Crazy" in her film.

"We had to get Britney's permission. I was really nervous [thinking], 'Oh my gosh, I hope she knows we're [paying] homage to her with this,'" Wilson told ET. "It was really awesome that she gave permission to do it... 'Crazy' was just such a cool song, such an iconic video clip... I just thought that would be really cool."

"We recreated that exact set," she added. "What was weird is I didn't really practice that much. When I shot it, I tried to just channel Britney and then immediately our director, Alex Hardcastle, was like, 'Oh my God, you were, like, so Britney.' In certain takes I really just believed I was her. It comes out really funny... That was our last day of shooting and it was like 110 degrees in Atlanta, but once they pump that Britney music I just wanted to give it my all."

In certain takes I really just believed I was her. It comes out really funny... That was our last day of shooting and it was like 110 degrees in Atlanta, but once they pump that Britney music I just wanted to give it my all."

Spears' song isn't the only hint of nostalgia in the film, in which Wilson stars as a high-school cheerleader who wakes up from a 20-year coma and wants to return to high school to reclaim her status and become the prom queen. Rather, Wilson told ET it was their "aim" to pack as much of the '90s and aughts in as possible.

"I just had the best time," Wilson said of making the flick. "The first time I put on those low rise jeans, the outfit that Britney Spears wears in the 'Crazy' video I was like, 'Oh, I didn't used to wear clothes like this.'"

"I really like this one hairstyle where I had all these little butterfly clips and I had put like glitter roll on all over me. I was really feeling myself in that outfit," she continued. "It was really fun to go back and also just listen to all that pop music from back then that's in the film."

As fun as it was to embrace the nostalgic fashions, Wilson's own high school style is not something she looks back on fondly.

"I had bangs, but they were not like normal bangs. They were only an inch long, super short fringe... I didn't really have any fashion sense. I really didn't. I went to an all girls school. We didn't really care what we looked like," Wilson said, before sharing what she'd change about her high school self if she could go back in time.

"I would probably learn something about makeup, like my character does makeup tutorials in the film. I would probably learn something about presenting myself nicely," she said. "... I look back at pictures of me [and am] like, 'What was I thinking?' I looked shocking."

Though hindsight makes Wilson want to change some things about her past self, she hopes Senior Year will encourage viewers to do the exact opposite.

"The message in the film that my character learns is, firstly, that high school doesn't define you, and also to be your real self, don't try to be somebody else to fit in," she said. "My character has a quote in the film, 'Why fit in when you're born to stand out?' I really, really like that."

"In Australia, sadly a lot of us are taught to just be normal and don't stand out in any way. I was someone who was different and wanted to go out into the world and crash it. I was different and unique and I had to learn to embrace that about myself," Wilson added. "I hope that the young people watching, they can get a really nice message."

The article is below.... I just wanted to say first... I really hope Britney does this, with or without Sam but really hope she does as Drew genuinely cares about Britney and I doubt she would ask anything Britney says prior she doesn't want to speak on.

Here is the article from Hollywood life.

Drew Barrymore has officially invited Britney Spears to appear on her popular CBS daytime talk show! The iconic Scream actress, 47, issued the invite to Britney, 40, via a new interview, saying that she would like to have an “openhearted” talk with the embattled pop star. “We can have a unique conversation,” Drew told Variety. “There’s not a ton of us out there who have publicly lost our freedom, had breakdowns in front of everyone, become punchlines and fought our way back.”

Britney hasn’t yet responded to the opportunity to appear on The Drew Barrymore Show, though it would be her first post-conservatorship interview. And this isn’t the first time the two have exchanged sentiments through the media — Britney declared Drew and Kate Hudson “the two most beautiful” she’s ever seen in a since-deleted April 6 Instagram post. “I’ve met 1000s of celebrities in the business … but I have to say the 2 people where I literally went speechless were @katehudson and @drewbarrymore,” Spears wrote alongside photos of the radiant actresses. “They are by far the 2 most beautiful people I have ever seen in my life !!! Like shocking !!!”
