Fans of Britney Spears slammed her ex Kevin Federline in the wake of his announcement he was penning a tell-all about the pop superstar titled You Thought You Knew. Federline, 47, irritated loyal supporters of the Grammy-winning singer, 43, as he promised in a news release his book would reveal 'extremely intimate and transparent' details about their past relationship. Federline said of his upcoming book, 'I achieved my biggest dreams, dealt with crushing heartbreak and endured constant ridicule, all while becoming the father my children needed as they experienced non-stop emotional turbulence.' Federline, who was wed to Britney from 2004 thru 2007, added that 'if you've ever had questions, you'll find answers here.' But loyal supporters of the ...Baby One More Time songstress - who shares sons Sean Preston, 19, and Jayden, 18, with Federline - weren't interested in the book, which is slated to be released October 21. Daily Mail has reached out to Federline via Instagram for comment on the backlash to the release of the forthcoming book. Federline, 47, irritated loyal supporters of the Grammy-winning singer, 43, as he promised his book would reveal 'extremely intimate and transparent' details about their past relationship They took exception with Federline for rehashing his past with Britney in what they felt was a blatant cash grab. 'So, no one would buy his story, so he thinks people want to hear him read his notes app life story?' asked one user, while another said, 'Damn, he REALLY needs money!' One user on X referenced another of the Lucky singer's exes in slamming Federline. 'Instead of writing fanfiction novels he should go back and tour with Justin Timberlake so they can both cry endless rivers,' the user said. 'It's tiring.' In addition to his sons with the Oops!... I Did It Again vocalist, Federline is father to daughter Kori, 23, and son Kaleb, 21, with actress Shar Jackson, 48. He is also father to daughters Jordan, 13, and Peyton, nine, with his wife, former volleyball player Victoria Prince, 42.

Some fans were concerned that Britney could be emotionally impacted for the worse with her ex-husband bringing their past dirty laundry into the public consciousness. Multiple social media users made clear they had no interest in reading Federline's memoir 'Ah great…another person reopening her wounds and bringing more judgement her way,' a Britney fan said.

Dave Franco breaks silence on Luigi Mangione biopic rumors after fans begged for star to play alleged assassin
Dave Franco has finally revealed whether he would play alleged CEO killer Luigi Mangione onscreen - after fans went wild over their resemblance to one another. Mangione is accused of murdering United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a 50-year-old father-of-two, outside a Manhattan hotel while he was attending a work conference on December 4, 2024. He has pleaded not guilty to both state and federal charges in connection with the December murder. When the 'anti-capitalist' Ivy League student was first detained by police last year, fans began pointing out that he and Franco, 40, were 'practically twins' - and speculated prolific television writer Ryan Murphy would create a series based on him. Appearing on Watch What Happens Live! on Tuesday, Franco said of the possibility of portraying Mangione: 'Oh, how do I answer this?' 'No one has approached me about it yet, I'll say that. This is something that more people in my life reached out about this exact thing than anything else that has ever happened. Dave Franco has finally revealed whether he would play alleged CEO killer Luigi Mangione (R) onscreen - after fans went wild over their resemblance to one another Thompson's murder was captured on a chilling video 'Let's just say I'm open if the right people… and let's just leave it at that.' Amid the manhunt for the shooter, fans had taken to X to quip that Franco should be in line to play him. One said: 'Dave Franco pick up the phone.' Another posted: 'Dave Franco has a role waiting for him once this inevitably becomes a movie.' A third wrote: 'Ryan Murphy is drafting an email to Dave Franco as we speak.' 'Dave Franco's agent has been on the phone all morning,' a fourth added. Mangione was recently granted a major perk behind bars as he awaits trial. He has been given access to a laptop to use in jail in preparation of the murder trial. The laptop will be 'prepared by the government' and handed over to Mangione seven days a week, for use between 8am and 4pm, the NY Post reported. When the 'anti-capitalist' Ivy League student was detained by police days later - fans began pointing out that he and Franco, 40, were 'practically twins' - Mangione pictured in February 2025 Appearing on Watch What Happens Live! on Tuesday, Franco said of the possibility of portraying Mangione: ' Oh, how do I answer this?' 'Let's just say I'm open if the right people… and let's just leave it at that' Mangione was taken into custody after a McDonald's employee in Altoona spotted him in December U.S. District Judge Margaret M. Garnett signed an order on Monday demanding the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn begin preparations to secure the laptop. Mangione's attorneys, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, Marc Agnifilo and Jacob Kaplan, told the judge the letter would allow Mangione to 'adequately prepare for trial and assist in his own defense.' But the laptop will be disabled from accessing the internet or any wireless networks, Mangione's attorneys revealed. It will be set up with case-related documents and videos provided to Mangione's defense by the government. A red diary found in Mangione's possession when he was arrested at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, at the end of a five-day manhunt, have offered insight into his alleged motive. The diary documented Mangione's musings on what Unabomber Ted Kaczynski got wrong during his reign of terror between 1978 and 1995, according to court filings. In one entry from August 15, 2024, Mangione writes that he is 'confident' about his plan - four months before the shooting took place - and that he believes it to be 'right/justified.' 'I finally feel confident about what I will do. The details are coming together. And I don't feel any doubt about whether it's right/justified,' his scrawling writing reads. 'I'm glad-in a way-that I've procrastinated bc [sic] it allowed me to learn more about UHC [UnitedHealthcare].' 'The target is insurance. It checks every box.' The execution of Thompson in the street was captured on chilling surveillance footage In another diary entry dated two months later on October 10 2024, Mangione allegedly marks a countdown to the day of the attack: '1.5 months.' In the rambling diary entry, Mangione goes on to refer to those in the healthcare industry as 'parasites' and 'mafioso' and describes UnitedHealthcare's December conference as a 'true windfall' that 'embodies everything wrong with our health system.' If Mangione is convicted, federal prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty.

Paramount's co-CEO Robbins to step down, memo shows
Aug 6 (Reuters) - Brian Robbins, who helped grow the Paramount+ streaming service, is stepping down as Paramount Global's (PARA.O), opens new tab co-CEO, according to a memo seen by Reuters on Wednesday, following the completion of its merger with Skydance Media. David Ellison, the CEO of Skydance, will lead the new company as chief executive after the merger is completed by August 7. "The company is in exceptionally capable hands with David Ellison and the incoming team from Skydance," Robbins said in the memo. Robbins, who joined the company in 2017, was appointed co-CEO in April last year, along with George Cheeks and Chris McCarthy, with the three collectively succeeding Bob Bakish. McCarthy's departure was reported last month, while Cheeks will remain with the company as its chair of media, overseeing its broadcast and cable television business. Robbins was named CEO of Nickelodeon in 2018, and became the chief of Paramount Pictures in 2021. As CEO of Paramount Pictures, Robbins has overseen 17 number one releases at the box office and has overseen franchises including "Sonic the Hedgehog," "A Quiet Place," and "Mission: Impossible." After the deal closes, the company is expected to be structured into three primary business segments - studios, direct-to-consumer and TV media.
