Britney Spears I Got Michelle Williams to Record My Book
Britney Spears got herself a real Hollywood heavy-hitter to record the bulk of her audiobook -- Michelle Williams, the 5-time Oscar nominee.
Britney made the big announcement Friday morning that the audio version of "The Woman in Me" will be recorded by Michelle. Britney herself did record the prologue to her memoir, but Michelle did the rest.
Brit told People, "Reliving everything has been exciting, heart-wrenching, and emotional, to say the least. For those reasons, I will only be reading a small part of my audiobook."
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
TMZ broke the story ... Britney just found it too painful to record several chapters of the book -- particularly those dealing with her family members, from whom she's currently estranged. They had attempted to get Reese Witherspoon on board, but couldn't work out the scheduling.
Britney says she's grateful to Michelle for doing the heavy lifting in the recording booth.
Michelle, who's last Oscar nom came for last year's "Fabelmans," has never voiced an audiobook before, but clearly wanted to support the pop star.
As Michelle put it, "I stand with Britney."

Lil Yachty is giving a whole new meaning to the phrase "expensive taste" ... the star rapper just got fitted with a pair of custom veneers, worth a cool $1,050,000!!!
Lil Boat unveiled his new chompers Thursday ... the latest artwork from Thomas Connelly, D.D.S., the Bev. Hills dentist renowned for working with a ton of other celebrities such as Post Malone, Shaq, Odell Beckham, and others.
We're told Angel City Jewelers provided the diamonds ... 16 carats to be exact, complete with 4 custom-cut stones.
Yachty's had a pretty stellar year, he's featured on Drake's new album, and he just earned a rave review from Donald Glover for his "Secret Recipe" collab with J. Cole.
Keeping up the pricey porcelain will likely be a job within itself. How much does floss run for $1 million veneers anyway?

Britney Spears Father Won't Read Upcoming Memoir

Exclusive

Jamie Spears is not concerned in the slightest with the contents of Britney Spears' upcoming memoir ... he's not even going to bother reading the book.
A source close to the Spears family tells TMZ ... Jamie's not sweating what Britney has to say about him in her new book, "The Woman In Me," because she's already trashed him both in court and on social media, once saying she hoped he'd spend the rest of his life in jail.
In addition to Britney's book ... his ex-wife, Lynne, and Britney's younger sister, Jamie Lynn, both released memoirs detailing how Jamie was an absent father during Britney's upbringing ... which coincided with his struggles with alcohol. In other words, they've all pretty much said everything, so what else is there to know?
Fact is ... Jamie's already taken ownership of being a bad dad when Britney grew up, but when she was in dire straits back in 2008, Jamie came to L.A. to help her and stayed for the next 13 years as her conservator.
Britney's lawyer, Matt Rosengart, has alleged Jamie fleeced her for millions of dollars during that conservatorship, and Britney might be addressing that as well. But our sources say so far, Rosengart has not gotten a single penny from Jamie, in part because almost all the expenditures were court-approved.
Short story ... we're told Jamie has no clue what made the final cut in Britney's memoir ... and he's not interested in finding out because he lived through it and knows the truth.
The memoir is set to come out Oct. 24 ... and while it may be a page-turner for some, it won't be for Jamie.

Taylor Swift Let's Go, Travis!!! Arrives to Chiefs Game
UPDATE
6:08 PM PT -- Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's mom, Donna, look thick as thieves ... because Taylor gave Donna one of her famous friendship bracelets.
Pretty ingenious way to get in tight with the family, right?!?
5:00 PM PT -- Taylor Swift is watching the game from Travis Kelce's suite ... sitting next to his mom, Donna.
It's the same suite Taylor was in the first time she watched Travis and the Chiefs play ... so we'll see if she's a good luck charm again, and it seems she's cool with Travis' mom, which is always important.
Taylor Swift is officially in the building, ready to watch Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs in person for the third time in four weeks.
Swift just walked into Arrowhead Stadium, where Travis and company are set to take on Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos. Taylor walked through security with a giant smile on her face while wearing a red Chiefs jacket.
Taylor's had a wild 24 hours ... shutting down The Grove shopping center in Los Angeles Wednesday for the premiere of her "Eras Tour" movie.
Taylor posed for pics, chatted with fans and even spent some time with Beyoncé at the premiere. She hopped on a jet out of L.A. and arrived in Kansas City just a few hours ago for the big game.
As we reported, Travis' status was previously "questionable" for the game, as he was battling an ankle injury ... but he's officially gotten the green light.
Taylor previously attended Travis' Week 3 matchup against the Chicago Bears, then followed the team to New Jersey to watch them play the Jets in Week 4. She skipped out last weekend when the team was in Minnesota.
While Taylor and Kelce have been relatively quiet on their relationship status, we've heard from sources the two had been hanging out for months before she attended his first game.
We should note ... the Chiefs haven't lost since Taylor was first in attendance, so we'll see how this one plays out.

Sam Asghari says he's got no worries over Britney Spears' memoir, and he knows because he's already read it.
We got Sam out in Bev Hills Thursday, and despite their acrimonious split, he has nothing but kind words for Britney and her soon-to-be-released memoir. He says he's extremely proud of her.
Sam apparently is spared Britney's slings and arrows, because he says he's excited for the book's release. Given their explosive relationship, it's kind of surprising.
Now as for dating, Sam says that's not happening now. His life is all about acting and stunt training.
As we reported, Sam filed for divorce from Britney in August after 14 months of marriage --sources told us Sam believed she cheated on him with a staffer at her home ... and alleged footage showed them in a compromising position together.
We were told all communication was cut off between them since the divorce, but the way he's talking, it sounds like things may have smoothed over.
One caveat ... even if Sam read the book, he may not have seen the final version. We're told Britney made some changes after they split.
Stay tuned.

BRITNEY SPEARS EL PADRE DE BRITNEY SPEARS NO LEERÁ SUS MEMORIAS

A Jamie Spears no le preocupa en lo más mínimo el contenido de las próximas memorias de Britney Spears, tanto es así, que ni siquiera se va a tomar la molestia en leerlo.
Una fuente cercana a la familia Spears le dijo a TMZ que a Jamie no le importa lo que Britney tiene que decir acerca de él en su nuevo libro, "The Woman In Me", en parte porque se siente que ya está enterado de todo lo que a él le concierne.
Jamie tiene un punto, su esposa, Lynne, y la hermana menor de Britney, Jamie Lynn, ya han publicado memorias detallando cómo Jamie fue un padre ausente durante la crianza de Britney y como todo este período coincidió con la lucha de Jamie con el alcohol.
Nuestras fuentes dicen que Jamie siente que ya ha asumido el estigma de haber sido un mal padre que estaba luchando contra el alcoholismo cuando Britney estaba creciendo, así que si eso es un tema en sus memorias, no importaría demasiado.
De hecho, nos dicen que Jamie no tiene ni idea de lo que hizo el corte final en las memorias de Britney y no está interesado en averiguarlo, porque vivió a través de él y sabe la verdad.
El papel de Jamie en la tutela de Britney fue un tema muy intenso hacia el final, pero nos informan que no está preocupado por lo que tiene que decir sobre la tutela, porque ya ha sido ampliamente documentado y su posición es que hizo lo mejor por su hija.
El hecho es que Britney ha dicho todo sobre Jamie los últimos años, y más aún recientemente así que no hay realmente mucho más que pueda decir sobre él para mover la aguja.
El abogado de Britney se ha comprometido a obtener una tonelada de dinero de Jamie por sus presuntas fechorías, pero Mathew Rosengart no ha conseguido un centavo de Jamie.
El libro de memorias está programado para salir el 24 de octubre y si bien es un imprescindible para muchos, no lo será para Jamie.
Taylor Swift Fans Selling 'Eras' Premiere Swag ... Popcorn Tin For $100!!!
Taylor Swift's fans are passionate and entrepreneurial, already cashing in on their free goodies from her 'Eras Tour' film premiere by hawking little things like a popcorn tin and cup ... for a couple hundy!!!
The 2,200 Swifties lucky enough to have been invited to the worldwide debut of Taylor's movie Wednesday night in L.A., hopped on eBay the next day in hopes of pocketing some extra dough -- pawning off souvenirs they got at the theater.
For instance, that popcorn bucket Beyoncé and Taylor were eating out of when Bey made her surprise appearance -- not the actual one, but one like it -- could fetch a hefty profit.
These sellers are no joke, BTW ... some are asking up to $250 for 2 items -- adding a drink cup to go with the popcorn bucket. Most listings, though, are around $100 right now, and a couple of them even include the tote bag and poster fans also got.
Remember, they got all of this stuff for free -- so, any amount they get is a profit.
Here's the kicker, the bucket and cup aren't even exclusive to the big event -- in fact, they're the same ones the general public can buy at all AMC Theaters, where the flick is playing exclusively.
The tin only costs $19.89 at the theater -- a nod to her 2014 album title and its upcoming rerelease -- and the large cup is $11.99.
It's worth mentioning, those souvenir collectibles -- ones not Taylor-related -- normally sell out really fast at theaters. Adding her to the mix means demand for the items will be through the roof. Good luck, Swifties!

FANS VENDIENDO GOLOSINAS GRATIS ¡Una lata de palomitas de maíz se vende por cientos de dólares!
Los fans de Taylor Swift no han tardado mucho en intentar sacar beneficio de todos los objetos de valor obtenidos en el estreno de la película "The Eras Tour" ¡porque están cobrando cientos de dólares por una maldita lata de palomitas y una taza!
Los afortunados que fueron invitados al debut mundial de la película de Taylor en Los Ángeles el miércoles, fueron corriendo a eBay al día siguiente con la esperanza de ganar algo de dinero extra, vendiendo cosas como las latas y tazas de refresco que recibieron cuando llegaron.
Ya sabes, el mismo que Beyoncé y Taylor estaban comiendo cuando Bey hizo su aparición sorpresa en la gran noche de Tay, en otras palabras, esto no es una lata ordinaria.
Estos vendedores no se andan con pequeñeces, algunos están pidiendo la suma de $250 por ambos artículos, pero la mayoría de los artículos están evaluados en $100 y un par de ellos incluyen la bolsa de mano y el cartel que también consiguieron de forma gratuita.
Aquí está el truco, el cubo y la taza ni siquiera eran exclusivos para el gran evento, de hecho, son los mismos que se pueden comprar en los cines AMC en todo el país donde la película.
La lata solo cuesta $19.89 en el teatro, un guiño a su título del álbum de 2014 y su próxima reedición y la taza grande es solo $11.99.
Vale la pena mencionar, sin embargo, qué objetos de colección como estos normalmente no duran mucho en la cadena de cine, los artículos de películas a menudo se agotan rápidamente, pero cuando entra Taylor Swift a la mezcla, la demanda se dispara. ¡Buena suerte, Swifties!

Sam Asghari dice que no está preocupado por las memorias de Britney Spears, y lo sabe porque ya las ha leído.
Sam se reunió con nosotros en Beverly Hills el jueves, y a pesar de su agria separación, no tiene más que palabras amables para Britney y su próximo libro de memorias. Dice que está muy orgulloso de ella.
Sam aparentemente se ha librado de los ataques de Britney y dice que está emocionado por el lanzamiento del libro. Dada su explosiva relación, es algo sorprendente.
En cuanto a las citas, Sam dice que eso no va a pasar ahora. Su vida gira en torno a la actuación y el entrenamiento acrobático.
Como informamos, Sam pidió el divorcio de Britney en agosto después de 14 meses de matrimonio. Fuentes nos informaron que Sam cree que ella lo engañó con un empleado en su casa y supuestamente hubo imágenes que mostraron todo el asunto.
Nos dijeron que toda la comunicación se cortó entre ellos desde el divorcio, pero por la forma en que está hablando, parece que las cosas pueden haberse suavizado.
Una advertencia, incluso si Sam leyó el libro, puede que no haya visto la versión final. Nos dicen que Britney hizo algunos cambios después de separarse.
Estén atentos.

Post Malone Surprises Fans with Appearance At Cowboys-Themed Raising Canes Restaurant
Post Malone has found a way to combine two things he holds near and dear -- the Dallas Cowboys and chicken fingers -- while also giving some of his fans the surprise of a lifetime.
Posty made a surprise visit at the grand opening of the Post Malone-and-Cowboys-themed location of Raising Cane's in Dallas Thursday. The rocker sported a custom Dallas jersey while posing for pics with fans, and of course, eating some of those tasty chicken fingers.
The location, which just opened today, comes complete with the blue and white Cowboys color scheme -- and a giant Cowboys star as you enter the Drive-Thru that stands 32 feet tall.
Post played a big role in getting the location together, and there are even some silhouettes of his most famous stage poses around the restaurant's exterior.
Not a bad spot to cheer on your favorite squad and fill your stomach all at the same place.

Jada Pinkett Smith 2Pac Was My SOULMATE ... But We Never Hooked Up!!!
Jada Pinkett Smith is gushing about her love for Tupac Shakur again, but this time she's using language that feels like a slight against Will Smith -- the husband she hasn't really been with for 7 years.
The actress is set to release her tell-all memoir, and on Thursday, spoke to Christal Jordan for RollingOut ... and called the late rap icon her one true "soulmate," despite 19 years of marriage to the Fresh Prince.
Jada Pinkett on 2Pac being her soulmate: She also says she and Tupac had past lives together.

Jada's reason for never getting romantically involved with Pac is simple, at least to her -- she claims they didn't have any chemistry.
Even more confounding, Jada told Christal ... Pac had proposed marriage to her -- she turned him down, but ya gotta wonder why he was asking someone to marry him if they had zero chemistry???
Jada did explain she feels a "soulmate" isn't about romance.
Earlier this week, the longtime Hollywood couple revealed they actually called it quits on their marriage in 2016 -- splitting up in every way, but legally -- leaving fans confused about why they kept up public appearances.
Not to mention, totally putting Will's Oscars slap on Chris Rock in a new light!
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Jada's been unearthing her personal Pac memorabilia in the public eye for years -- which, for a lot of people, felt disrespectful to Will.
She claims all the questions will be answered when her book, "Worthy" drops on Oct. 17.

La razón por la que Jada nunca se involucró románticamente con Pac es simple, según está confesando, no tenían ninguna química.
¡A primera vista suena como algo extraño de decir sobre su alma gemela!
A principios de esta semana, la longeva pareja de Hollywood reveló que en realidad habían puesto fin a su matrimonio en 2016 -separándose en todos los sentidos, menos legalmente-, dejando a los fans confundidos sobre por qué siguieron apareciendo en público.
Por no mencionar la bofetada de Will a Chris Rock en los Oscars, ¡que ahora tiene un nuevo significado!

Jada ha estado desenterrando sus recuerdos personales de Pac durante años, lo que para mucha gente se sentía como una falta de respeto hacia Will.

Druski is more than happy to publicly discuss his finances -- as he recently did at the Forbes annual Under 30 Summit -- but he is steering clear of any convos about Birdman ... a sign there's no peace between them.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
ICYMI, Birdman got at Druski first for his swiping at Drake's new album -- even before he took Joe Budden and Gillie Da Kid to task for their critical opinions about "For All the Dogs."
So, during the Forbes event in Cleveland, Forbes Assistant Managing Editor Steven Bertoni asked Druksi for an update on the Birdman dust-up, and Druski quickly hurried him along ... murmuring they were "good" under his breath but his uneasy body language said the total opposite.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Birdman's been nipping at Druski's heels all year for what he perceives to be "disrespek" on the Cash Money name ... the viral comedian's "Coulda Been Records" has too many similarities for the music mogul's comfort!!!
According to Forbes, Druski took home $10 million last year, and it sounds like he might wanna stuff some of that away for extra security when he's in Birdman's neck of the woods.

SHANI LOUK EL TELÉFONO DE SU NOVIO ENVÍA MENSAJES INQUIETANTES
El teléfono del novio de Shani Louk, la artista y asistente al festival secuestrada por Hamás, envió escalofriantes mensajes de texto tras el atentado del sábado, entre los que se incluían mensajes sobre escupir a la gente.
Orión Hernández Radoux, de 30 años, se encontraba con Louk, de 22, en el festival Supernova, cerca de la Franja de Gaza, cuando terroristas de Hamás abrieron fuego con armas y cohetes y secuestraron a los asistentes.
Louk fue una de las muchas personas tomadas como rehenes y se cree que Radoux —que sigue desaparecido— fue secuestrado junto a ella. Según The Sun, su teléfono ha sido utilizado para enviar mensajes amenazantes a sus contactos en los días posteriores a la masacre del festival.
Los textos, escritos en árabe, supuestamente dicen cosas como: "Libera Palestina", "Que Dios te maldiga" y "Te escupo".
Como ya informamos, el video de justo antes de los ataques de Hamás mostraba a Louk divirtiéndose en el festival justo antes de ser secuestrada, desnudada, escupida y exhibida en la parte trasera de una camioneta.
Su madre, Ricarda, afirmó que un palestino anónimo le había dicho que su hija estaba viva después de la terrible experiencia y que estaba recibiendo tratamiento en un hospital de Gaza por lesiones graves en la cabeza, suplicando al gobierno alemán que la ayudara a salir de allí.
