Britney Spears baffles fans with ‘adoption' post — but it was just a joke, sources say
In a now-viral video shared on Monday, the Toxic singer danced while dropping what looked like a major life update.
'I want to let you guys know I adopted a beautiful baby girl,' she wrote, punctuated with three winking emojis.
'Her name is Lennon London Spears.'
But as reported by New York Daily News, sources close to Spears were quick to clarify that the Grammy winner hasn't adopted a child.
The post, they said, was just a bit of harmless fun.
Fans were left speculating whether the 43-year-old star was referring to a new pet instead.
After all, Spears also shared, 'Lennon today has on adorable dress !!! It says I'm NEW HERE !!!' complete with laughing emojis.
But TMZ sources claimed that no dog had been adopted either.
The pop star's post also hinted at plans to relocate to Italy, though those claims, too, appear to be wishful thinking — or more likely, part of the same playful fantasy.
While no new additions have been made to her family, Spears recently celebrated a heartfelt reunion with her youngest son, 18-year-old Jayden, after a long period apart.
She shares Jayden and his twin brother, Sean Preston, with ex-husband Kevin Federline.
In December, Spears called their Christmas together 'the best Christmas of my life.'
'I haven't seen my boys in 2 years !!!' she captioned a joyful Instagram post at the time.
'Tears of joy and literally in shock everyday koo koo crazy so in love and blessed !!! I'm speechless thank you Jesus !!!'
Later that month, she gushed again about her reunion with Jayden, writing: 'He came back and he feels older and smarter than me. He's a man and I cry everyday of my life because of the miracle and genius he is !!!'
While 'Lennon London Spears' may not be real, it's clear Britney is enjoying the freedom to express herself — even if it leaves fans scratching their heads.

#SHOWBIZ: Diana Danielle's lowest point in life: Losing my 'best friend in marriage'
KUALA LUMPUR: Award-winning actress, television host, and singer Diana Danielle has described the loss of her "best friend in marriage" as the lowest point in her life to date. In a recent Instagram post, the "Memori" star shared that she has endured her share of difficult moments, including witnessing her father leave home permanently and coping with her mother's battle with cancer when Diana was just 12. "These were my three most painful life experiences so far. But looking back, I have learned to accept them as God's will," she said, adding that change is inevitable and everyone must be resilient in facing life's challenges. Netizens commended Diana for her honesty about her "painful" past and encouraged her to continue being the strong and inspirational figure she has always been. Some even questioned if her mention of a "best friend in marriage" was a subtle reference to her former husband, Farid Kamil. Farid and Diana, who share two children, were married from 2012 until their divorce on March 24 this year. Diana is set to appear in the emotional film "Memori," which tells the story of a doctor diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease who gradually loses his memory. Based on a true story, the film is directed by Abid Hussain and also stars Datuk Hilal Azman and Hisyam Hamid.

(Video) Thai Hot Guys' Appearance In PJ This Weekend Draws Flak From Locals
After announcing plans to open a Thai restaurant in Malaysia, the viral Thai Hot Guys will be making an appearance in the Klang Valley later this week. Unfortunately, the news isn't so well-received. Yesterday, local social media personality Caprice shared a video on his Instagram account, revealing that the four members of Thai Hot Guys would be making an appearance at Mattress Premium Outlet (MPO) in Petaling Jaya this weekend. The event, titled 'Thai Hunk Coming To MPO', is scheduled for 26th July 2025 (Saturday) and will include meet-and-greets with the viral influencers. A quick check on MPO and the Thai Hot Guys members' social media pages confirmed the event. An announcement post also revealed that fans can win a chance to meet the four internet personalities. The event will be held at the MPO Showroom in Petaling Jaya from 11am to 5pm. While the meet-and-greet received interest from fans, it also drew flak from Malaysian netizens. In his post about the event, Caprice tagged local authorities and the Immigration department, urging them to block the Thai Hot Guys from entering Malaysia and attending the event. The comments also argued that the event is disrespectful to the local culture, given the controversial content the Thai Hot Guys are known for. Others also questioned how MPO had received approval to hold the event. As of writing, MPO hasn't responded to the backlash. However, it's worth noting that the Thai Hot Guys are likely only attending the event to promote the store and might not engage in their typical sexy content. The group also faced similar backlash after announcing plans to open a restaurant in Malaysia. However, owners Dee and Wow explained that the restaurant will not have the dancing concept as the group wants to respect Malaysian culture. We hope MPO can clarify this event as soon as possible to avoid any more controversy. However, can an explanation change the public's perception? What are your thoughts on this? Check out Caprice's post on the issue below: Sources: Instagram (1)(2)

Actor Columbus Short's wife claims he choked her, abused her for years
]The couple got married in 2016 and share two young sons. Photo: TNS Actor Columbus Short and his wife, Aida Abramyan, are embroiled in a nasty he-said, she-said domestic violence legal battle. After the former Scandal star filed a temporary restraining order against his spouse, a judge granted Abramyan's own request for a temporary restraining order but denied her request for temporary sole custody of their two children. According to court documents, the entertainment publicist detailed a July 7 incident where Short allegedly was drunk and got physically violent with her while she was doing laundry. 'Don't slam the (expletive) door bitch. Your mouth is gonna get you in trouble! Shut the (expletive) up,' Abramyan claims Short yelled at her before choking her and putting both hands around her neck. A neighbour reportedly called authorities after hearing her yell: 'My husband is choking me, help!' Abramyan included photos of injuries from other alleged instances of physical abuse over recent years in her TRO request, including a black eye and bruising, TMZ reports. In his restraining order petition, the 42-year-old Stomp The Yard alum claimed his estranged spouse busted his eye open and abused a 10-week-old puppy. He also alleged that she was arrested following the altercation. She notes in her filing that police did show up to the residence but doesn't mention any arrest. Short, who portrayed a crisis management consultant at Olivia Pope's firm on Scandal for three seasons, has endured his own personal crises in recent years due to anger management issues. In 2022, he was arrested for felony domestic violence against his wife. The couple got married in 2016 and share two young sons. Short, a former choreographer who was romantically linked to Britney Spears during the early 2000s, was previously married three times before Abramyan. – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service
