Britney Spears apologizes for smoking on plane, claims ‘weird' flight attendant tried to ‘embarrass' her
'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.

Georgina Rodríguez's massive engagement ring from Cristiano Ronaldo is breaking the internet, with the rock estimated to be worth 7 figures
The bride-to-be posted the photo of the impressive diamond ring that broke the internet. Portuguese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentine model Georgina Rodríguez announced their engagement on Monday after eight years of dating. The bride-to-be shared the momentous news in an Instagram post, with a photo of her massive sparkler of an engagement ring and the caption, written in Spanish: 'Yes, I do. In this and in all my lives.' The post has since broken the internet, with over 11.3 million likes as of Tuesday morning. The official details of Rodríguez's bling, like the number of carats and how much it's worth, have yet to be revealed by the power couple and their unknown jeweler, but that hasn't stopped jewelry experts from weighing in. Here's what we know so far about the 'four C's' (cut, clarity, color and carat) of the impressive diamond ring: What kind of cut is the diamond? Abdulla BelJafla, creative director of Gafla, who shared his insight with Vogue Arabia, said the main diamond in the center is an oval-cut, which maximizes its brilliance. 'A perfectly proportioned oval (with a 1.30–1.50 length-to-width ratio) offers symmetry on the hand,' he told the magazine. 'While many ovals exhibit the subtle 'bow-tie effect,' this piece appears to have exceptional light dispersion, minimizing it entirely.' How many estimated carats are there? Rodríguez's oval-cut diamond ring is approximately 37 carats in total, according to jewelry experts. The center oval stone weighs about 35 carats, Tobias Kormind, the managing director of 77 Diamonds in London, told People. He believes the center stone is flanked by oval stones on the sides, about one carat each, set in platinum. BelJafla also assessed the stunner to be about 37 carats total and estimated the center diamond to be "between 22 and 30 carats," he told Vogue Arabia. Let's get down to brass tacks. How much do we think this ring is worth? It's estimated to be worth seven figures. 'If the diamond is natural and of exceptional quality in the D-F color range with flawless or near-flawless clarity, its value could easily exceed around $2 million," Laura Taylor, engagement ring specialist at Lorel Diamonds, told People. Meanwhile, Kormind estimates that Rodríguez is carrying around a $5 million ring on her finger. 'Experts value the ring between U.S. $4 million and U.S. $5 million,' BelJafla told Vogue Arabia, 'given the size, flawless clarity, and D color of the stones. … A ring like this is quite rare if it's a natural diamond.' What else do we know about the engaged couple? Ronaldo, 40, and Rodríguez, 31, have been together for eight years. They have a total of four children together: twins Eva Maria and Mateo, 8 (born via surrogacy); daughter Alana, 7; and daughter Bella, 3. Ronaldo also has a 15-year-old son, Cristiano Jr., from a previous relationship. The couple previously announced the death of Bella's twin brother, Ángel, in April 2022. Solve the daily Crossword

Jason Momoa reveals he nearly drowned while surfing in Hawaii: ‘I gave up'
The King of the Atlantis nearly lost his life in the water. Jason Momoa appeared on the 'Smartless' podcast Monday and recounted the time he almost drowned off the coast of Maui 18 years ago. 'I was doing this paddle, we went in at Jaws,' the 'Aquaman' star, 46, said, referring to the island's biggest surf break. 'We paddled like 13 miles down the coast. You're kind of almost a mile offshore, and then my leash snapped.' 8 Jason Momoa in an Instagram video. Jason Momoa/Instagram Momoa explained that he was 'trained pretty well' but he still 'took quite a few [waves] on the head.' 'They're pretty big, like 10-foot Hawaiian waves,' he recalled. 'But I'm probably half a mile at that point offshore. And it's actually this place is called 'S–f—s' because there's all this water that pulls out and of a channel there, [and] you just get hit with these waves.' 8 Jason Momoa in 'Aquaman 2.' ©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection 8 Jason Momoa surfing in Hawaii in Dec. 2021.

I was really on the outer reef and they couldn't see me,' Momoa explained. 'I had my paddle and I was waving it and they couldn't see me, and the waves were so big.' The 'Game of Thrones' alum said that the terrifying moment made him think of his and Lisa Bonet's then-3-month-old daughter, Lola Iolani. 'I looked in, and I was just like—my daughter at that time was 3 months old—and I just lost it,' he remembered. 8 Jason Momoa at the 'Highest 2 Lowest' red carpet at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.

'I have seven more miles to paddle. My feet are covered in blood, and I'm just literally [with] my ancestors just paddling the rest of this way, head down, and we get out,' Momoa said, confirming they made it out of the ocean. 8 Jason Momoa swimming in Kauai, Hawaii. 8 Jason Momoa at the 'Chief of War' premiere in Hawaii on July 18.

I couldn't stop for my kids, I couldn't stop for my ex, I couldn't stop smoking,' he explained. 'And the moment I came out, I never smoked again. Like, I just died. I tried and tried, but I couldn't do it again because I just gave up. Like, I gave up my life.'

Cat's Behavior With Golden Retriever vs Husky Leaves Viewers in Hysterics
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. How a cat behaves towards their husky sibling versus their golden retriever sibling has left the internet in stitches. Instagram user @maplebaconbutter shared a video showing their cat affectionately lying on top of their golden retriever, before cutting to footage of the same cat energetically pouncing multiple times on their husky. The hysterical compilation has already garnered almost 135,000 likes and 869,000 views on Instagram. "How our cat acts with our golden," the text overlay reads as the golden and the cat enjoy a quiet snuggle. "Vs with our Husky," appears next, as the orange cat and husky engage in playful sparring. "His 2 personalities," the owner captioned the post. Huskies are known for their high energy and playful nature, but that can sometimes be overwhelming for cats—especially those that are more reserved. While some huskies can get along with cats if introduced early and properly supervised, their prey drive and boisterous personalities mean they may be more inclined to chase or play rough, according to Dogster. Golden retrievers, on the other hand, are generally considered one of the most cat-friendly breeds. Their gentle temperament, affectionate nature, and lower prey drive make them more likely to form close, calm bonds with feline companions, Dogster notes. The cat in question appears to be a Maine Coon, a breed often celebrated for its friendliness toward dogs. Maine Coons are known for their confident, sociable personalities and ability to adapt to various types of canine companions—including both high-energy breeds like huskies and laid-back ones like golden retrievers.

"He likes the golden more cuz it looks like him just larger," suggested one user. "He matches their energies. Huskies are super energetic so he plays with him. The golden looks a bit older and a lot more chill so he gets the snuggles," said another. "Matches energy of each dog. I bet the husky loves it. Hehe," said another viewer. "Cuddle buddy vs Wrestling buddy," observed another user. "He speaks their love language," said Syd. "Golden retriever: Gentle fluffy companion. Husky: Worthy opponent. Capable of offering a warrior's death," shared another user. "Me with my bf vs me with my friends," joked another. Newsweek reached out to @maplebaconbutter for comment via Instagram.
