Britney Spears apologizes for smoking on plane, claims ‘weird' flight attendant tried to ‘embarrass' her
Britney Spears is sorry to those she 'offended' by smoking on a charter plane recently, but claims she is not responsible for lighting up in the first place.
'My friend put it in my mouth and lit
it up for me so I was like OH SO THIS IS A PLANE WHERE YOU CAN SMOKE !!!' the pop superstar, 43, wrote via Instagram on Friday alongside a video of her in the jet.
'I do so apologize to anyone I offended but the flight attendants always make sure I'm way at the back of plane anyways
!!!'
Spears brushed off the matter as 'actually incredibly funny' in the social media post and shared she had been on planes where smoking is prohibited but thought this one was different 'because the drink holders were on [the] outside of [the] seat.'
The 'Oops! … I Did It Again' singer also confessed to drinking alcohol on her flight from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico to LAX Airport, as sources told TMZ, but claimed it had been her 'first time drinking VODKA!!!'
'I swear I felt so SMART
!!! I was like wow what the heck is in there !!! I felt so clear and smart !!! And said I want a cigarette so bad !!!' she added.
Per TMZ's report, flight attendants thought Spears was acting 'difficult' — even though she put out the cigarette when they asked her to — so the authorities were called to meet them when they deplaned.
'I thought officials greeted me as support and I was like WOW I feel special !!! I've never been to an international airport
!!! Am I famous or something ???' the 'Piece of Me' singer joked.
'The flight attendant called officials because I smoked a cigarette !!! And embarrass me which jeez I thought was kinda much but she didn't like me the moment I got on plane !!!'
Spears then claimed that one flight attendant in particular had been giving her a hard time, and 'wouldn't let [her] get out of [her] seat' to stand up, despite no one else being on the plane for the first 20 minutes.
'She acted so weird about making sure I sat down and it was weird !!! I didn't like the way she put the seatbelt on me and invaded my space !!!' the 'Gimme More' singer said.
Spears concluded her post by referencing her jewelry, asking fans, 'Oh well you guys like my flower choker ??? B tiny is coming soon and thats something we have added !!! It's honestly adorable !!!'
Once the 'Toxic' singer got off of the plane, a customs employee reportedly let her go with a warning.
A rep for JSX, the public charter operator for the plane, previously told Page Six, 'We have no comment regarding the alleged events described by TMZ.' Spears' reps could not be reached for comment.

‘The White Lotus' Stars Walton Goggins And Aimee Lou Wood Reveal The Truth Behind Instagram ‘Feud'
Aimee Lou Wood and Walton Goggins Rick and Chelsea, the tragic lovers from the third season of HBO's The White Lotus, were fan favorites during the show's run earlier this year. The actors who played them also became the center of much gossip after the season came to a close. This was partly due to comments made by Jason Isaac, who played troubled investment banker Timothy Ratliff, in the third season. The cast lived on-set in Thailand for months during the shoot, and Isaac said that tensions could sometimes run high, noting that there were 'fewer deaths but just as much drama' behind the scenes. Rumors of a split between Walton Goggins, who played Rick, and Aimee Lou Wood, who played Chelsea, reached fever pitch when fans noticed that Goggins had unfollowed his co-star on Instagram. Fandom is always thirsty for this kind of drama, but perhaps especially so for a series like The White Lotus, which is all about scandal, betrayal and the woes of the rich and famous. There was blood in the water, and the sharks came circling. Goggins also didn't join his fellow cast members at the finale event, watching it alone instead, though he was in New York for a late-night appearance at the time. I never commented on these rumors. Tawdry gossip has never been something I feel the need or desire to comment on. Gossip journalism is certainly big business, but it's not my cup of tea. I am happy, however, to report on the outcome. In a lengthy interview with the two co-stars over at Variety, they clear the air and put the rumors to bed once and for all. After a discussion of the infamous SNL sketch that mocked Wood's appearance, and Goggins' regret at posting about it on social media, they clear the air. From the interview: He also addressed the NYT interview in which he refused to answer multiple questions about the supposed feud, saying he wouldn't answer them without Wood present. When Wood is asked about the Instagram unfollowing she replies: Goggins makes it clear that saying farewell to co-stars is just part of his process. When he left the show Justified "I went up to Tim [Olyphant], and I hugged him and I said, 'I love you, and I hope I see you in rooms for the rest of my life. I didn't talk to him for almost two years. I've done that with every single thing that I've done.' He continues: It's all part of his 'catharsis' according to Goggins. He would have done the same thing if he'd been following Olyphant or his The Shield co-star Michael Chiklis on Instagram at the time. Still, during the interview he gets up, grabs his phone and follows Wood on Instagram. 'It's all so ridiculou. It's just a part of me just saying goodbye to this character so that now Aimee and I will be friends for *#$&ing ever.' Read the full interview at Variety. Read my review of the Season 3 finale of The White Lotus here. So now that the rumors have been put to bed, can we talk about something important again? Like where we think the next season of The White Lotus will take place? I'm hoping it's Africa or maybe Eastern Europe. Or perhaps somewhere in South America or Mexico. It's a big world, after all.

In February, it was announced that John Lithgow was headed to Hogwarts, to take on the role of Professor Albus Dumbledore. 'I'm very excited. Some wonderful people are turning their attention back to 'Harry Potter,'' the actor, 79, told ScreenRant. 'That's why it's been such a hard decision. I'll be about 87 years old at the wrap party, but I've said yes.'
