Britney Spears continues to post erratic dancing videos after breaking her silence on shocking plane act that got police involved
Britney Spears has shared another erratic dancing video after breaking her silence on a private jet sparked fresh fears for the singer's health and got the police involved.
The singer, 43, put on a racy display as she showed off her figure in a pink skintight mini dress with a plunging neckline.
The garment featured a sequinned embellishment and Britney added height to her frame with a pair of pink heels.
Dancing in front of her pool, Britney struck a series of animated poses while fixing the camera with an intense stare.
She strutted her stuff to Timbaland's song Carry Out which features her ex-boyfriend Justin Timerblake.
Alongside the clip, Britney posted several knife emojis and turned her comments off.

It comes after the pop star, who was freed from her conservatorship in 2021, was flying from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico to LAX with her security on Thursday when she starting drinking, before lighting up a cigarette and smoking it, per TMZ.
It was reported flight attendants were 'alarmed and ordered her to put out the cigarette' - with the singer complying.
Britney was said to have acted in a 'difficult' manner during the flight and when the plane landed, she was met by authorities and 'warned about her conduct' - before being allowed to leave.
A source later told People, 'This is not her first warning. She doesn't exactly follow the rules.'
Britney responded to the explosive scandal with a video of herself on the plane toasting the camera - accompanied by a bizarre caption in which she wrote that she 'thought officials greeted me as support and I was like WOW I feel special !!!'
'Me yesterday !!!' she wrote alongside the clip of her on the plane before insisting the fracas was 'actually incredibly funny' and launching into a rambling explanation.
'Some planes I've been on you can't smoke mostly but this one was different because the drink holders were on outside of seat !!! Confession it was my first time drinking VODKA!!! I swear I felt so SMART !!!' she exclaimed.
'I was like wow what the heck is in there !!! I felt so clear and smart !!! And said I want a cigarette so bad !!! 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 !!!' she claimed.
'I do so apologize to anyone I offended but the flight attendants always make sure I'm way at the back of plane anyways !!!'
She then sensationally wrote, possibly in jest: 'I thought officials greeted me as support and I was like WOW I feel special !!!'
Britney then joked: 'I've never been to an international airport !!! Am I famous or something ???' with some crying laughing emoji sprinkled in.
'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 !!! Nobody was on the plane for first 20 minutes and she wouldn't let me get out of my seat I wanted to stand up !!!' Spears insisted.
'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 !!! Oh well you guys like my flower choker ??? B tiny is coming soon and thats something we have added !!! It's honestly adorable !!!'
'I do so apologize to anyone I offended but the flight attendants always make sure I'm way at the back of plane anyways !!!' she wrote
Spears followed up the statement with one of her trademark Instagram dance videos - this time including footage of her swigging from a bottle
The pop icon, who was freed from her conservatorship in 2021, was flying from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico to LAX at the time - pictured last week on holiday
Britney followed up the statement with one of her trademark Instagram dance videos - this time including footage of her swigging from a bottle.
The clip was set to the classic Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee song Despacito, which was released in 2017 and famously remixed with Justin Bieber.
After the airplane incident took place on Thursday, a spokesman for air carrier and private plane service JSX told DailyMail.com in a statement: 'We have no comment regarding the alleged events described.'
Smoking is strictly prohibited on all JSX flights, including private jets.
LAX police confirmed to the publication they did not respond - and 'it appears someone from Customs may have issued the warning' to Spears.
DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Britney Spears and LAX for further comment.
Back in December 2024, Britney raised alarm bells when she was pictured bringing a grill lighter onto a private plane as she jetted off to celebrate her birthday.
It is not known why Spears — who previously burnt down her home gym in 2020, after an accident with two candles — was holding the lighter but she even kept the device over her mouth as she spoke with members of her entourage.
Single, standard lighters - such as cigarette lighters - are generally allowed on private jets in carry-on luggage.
However torch lighters, or any other type with a large flame, such as the one carried by Spears, are usually not permitted onboard per TSA regulations.
Spears previously revealed she burned off her eyebrows and eyelashes after attempting to turn on the fireplace in her bedroom earlier in 2024.
Spears and Asghari married in 2022 after seven years together, but separated just over a year later in July 2023, before Asghari officially filed for divorce on August 16, 2023; seen in 2019
Spears' latest drama comes after ex Sam Asghari took a cruel swipe at their marriage, while praising his new relationship.
He called their union 'Hollywood,' while also saying his four month long relationship with Brooke was 'all about love,' as the pair made their red carpet debut at the grand opening weekend of The Tryst hotel.
'It's all about love. That's what it is,' Asghari told Us Weekly on April 25, in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
'It's not about the industry, it's not about Hollywood,' he continued.
'It's about what really is the most important thing, and that's being present, being in the moment and supporting others that are doing this same thing.'
Sam was with the I Did It Again singer from 2016 to 2023.
Sam and Britney met on the set of her Slumber Party music video in October 2016 and the following month they sparked romance rumors with the personal trainer posted a photo (which he later deleted) on Instagram.

This is how Sally Gunnell went from Olympic gold to training for ‘life performance' and longevity
Training to win Olympic gold and exercising for good health well into later life are two very different prospects. Today, I'm speaking to Sally Gunnell; one of the only people on the planet to have extensive experience of both. The former world champion hurdler is five minutes early for our interview, showing signs that her Olympic discipline remains. But, she tells me, her current fitness regime is far less stringent than it was 30 years ago. Instead of chasing sweat and medals, her emphasis is now on something she calls 'life performance'. 'I'm focussed on having enough energy, having enough focus, being happy in myself, being mobile, staying strong, being there for my family and preventing illnesses and injuries,' the 58-year-old says. 'But I still want to go out and have a glass of wine, eat my easter eggs, go on holiday and enjoy myself.' This approach has struck a chord with many. Gunnell's recent Instagram videos regularly reach five- and six-figure audiences, containing everything from accessible mobility routines and mindset hacks to quick home workouts you can do while the kettle boils. The mission, through this and her coaching company Life's Hurdle, is to 'help as many women as possible build confidence in life through mindset, exercise and nutrition'. To find out how, I quizzed Gunnell on how her training has shifted over the years, the best thing she believes you can do for your health, and the 'all or nothing' mindset shift that has a transformative effect on her clients. What does a typical week of training look like? Gunnell's exercise goals are refreshingly relatable, and strength training is the key to achieving them. This means two or three weekly sessions of lifting weights, with each one lasting anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes. 'Even though I had my muscles when I was competing, as you age they just go – it's quite scary really, so weight sessions are an important part of my week' Gunnell tells me. Age-related strength and muscle loss is called sarcopenia, and this can start as early as your 30s. Strength training, be that lifting weights or bodyweight exercises like press-ups and squats, is the best way to counter this. 'I like to do good compound lifts [those that recruit multiple muscles at once], so that might be the squat, bench press and Romanian deadlift,' Gunnell says. 'I don't focus on all arms or all legs in a workout either, I mix it up. It doesn't need to be too complicated, I just make sure I [hit every major muscle group] in each training session .' To provide a sufficient stimulus for building strength and muscle, exercises should feel challenging too. Gunnell likes to work to the rule of thumb that 'the last two reps should be quite a strain'. To complement her strength training efforts, she also goes on regular dog walks and does a dedicated stretching session once or twice per week. 'Mobility is something I'm very conscious of, probably because I pushed my body for quite a few years, so it's really important for me to keep mobility in my legs and hips,' she explains. Gunnell still goes for a run a couple of times per week too, although she says these outings look very different to her track sessions of old. 'I'll go for a run, but it's very slow and it's much more about how I'm feeling,' she says. 'I suppose the cardio side is built into me. I don't need to go and run the marathon again, I just enjoy getting outside, getting into nature and having some really good thinking time. And I do think it's the best thing for managing stress.' The mindset change that makes the biggest difference Gunnell says the fitness pitfall most people fall into is adopting an 'all or nothing mindset'. They will set out with the best intentions, exercising regularly and adopting a healthier diet, then pack it all in as soon as they make any sort of slip-up – an act she likens to finding a flat tyre on your car then needlessly slashing the other three. 'If you miss a workout or overeat on one day, don't say 'I'm going to start again on Monday', then throw the rest of the week away. Just go back to your normal [healthy] routine as soon as you can – progress isn't about perfection,' she says. 'I like to think about it in terms of red, amber and green days. Your green days are your good days where you exercise and eat well, but sometimes you might have a red day where you don't feel like doing anything. On those days, is there one thing you can do to make it an amber day?' This could mean reaching for a nutritious snack rather than a chocolate bar, going for a short walk or doing a five-minute bodyweight workout. Making these small improvements on a regular basis is likely to have a compounding positive effect, and they can also keep you from falling off the fitness wagon. 'There are all sorts of different journeys people go on, but roughly it takes Life's Hurdle members about three months to get to a good place where they're not giving themselves a hard time and always trying to get that perfect day,' says Gunnell. 'This mindset change is a slow thing we have to work on, but it's the key to long-term health and building it into your life.' The best thing you can do for your health Linked to Gunnell's traffic light philosophy; if you're looking for a straightforward way to turn a red day into an amber one, her foundational advice couldn't be more simple: 'Get up and get walking.' 'Too many people sit behind a desk at work, then they sit in front of the telly when they come home,' she says. 'So I would say the best thing you can do is get up, get mobile, get outside and just get walking. Stretch that over the day and break your day up instead of just sitting there for eight-plus hours. I think doing that can make a big difference to a lot of people.' Walking can also be your workout for the day, particularly if you're struggling for time, she adds. 'Sometimes, when I do cardio, I only have 20 minutes so I'll go and find a hill then walk up and down it, or run up and jog back. It doesn't take long, but it gets your heart rate up, and then in your head you've done something for the day. I feel so much better afterwards as well.' Navigating life's hurdles Life's Hurdle is Gunnell's online coaching company, which she runs with her son Luca. The pair founded it in March 2024, and it has since grown from strength to strength. 'Lots of members want to lose weight and tone up, of course, but it's also about helping people feel good in themselves; having that confidence, an effective mindset, and fitting fitness into their lives,' she says. 'What I love most about it is hearing from ladies who've been with us since the beginning. They now say [exercise] is no longer about weight loss for them, but the confidence it brings them in life, and the fact their friends and family are noticing how much happier they are. That's the bit that I love, and that's what exercise can do – it's powerful.' Members have access to a personalised exercise programme, as well as two live classes per week and a weekly live chat where they can pepper the coaches with questions. There is also education around lifestyle factors such as sleep and diet, as well as a community group chat. 'The community side is great,' Gunnell says. 'I think it's the accountability that people like. They like that we care and we're there to support them and navigate them through all sorts of things they're going through in their life. 'I think for a lot of people they're daunted by gyms, they're daunted by never having done any exercise or strength training before in their life, and we give them the confidence to get their weights set up in their lounge and join in.' When can I start? People tend to delay their exercise plans until a certain date, be that a Monday, the first day of the month or, in many cases, the start of a new year. But in Gunnell's eyes, there's no time like the present. 'There's never a right or wrong time to start exercising,' she says. 'People often delay it because they're going on holiday or they have a busy month, when actually you would do better getting started now.' Gunnell identifies this as one of the most common things standing between Life's Hurdle members and a regular exercise routine. She has also spotted another recurring theme among clients. 'As women, we always put ourselves last,' she explains. 'We always look after everybody else – I've had a lot of ladies tell me, 'I want to do something for me because I'm always the one running around after the kids or the husband or the parents'. They come to us and say, 'This is the first time I've ever done something for me'. I think that's true, and I think it's very powerful as well.' Perform the superset below between one (for beginners) and three (for a challenge) times, leaving 60 seconds of rest between sets Goblet squat x10-12 Floor press x10-12 Perform the superset below between one (for beginners) and three (for a challenge) times, leaving 60 seconds of rest between sets Single-arm row x10-12 (on each side) Glute bridge x10-12 This four-move workout promises to recruit and strengthen muscles in your legs, back, glutes, chest, shoulders, arms and core with just four moves. If you perform the maximum three rounds of each superset it should still take no more than 20 minutes. A superset simply means performing two exercises back to back with no rest in between. For this workout, you would perform 10-12 goblet squats, move straight into 10-12 floor presses, then rest for 60 seconds before repeating this sequence. Once you have done your chosen number of rounds, move on to the next superset (single-arm rows and glute bridges) and follow the same sequence. Gunnell also recommends adding a core-strengthening exercise of your choice at the end, such as a dead bug or bird dog. Benefits of this workout The key to Gunnell's strength training workouts, both for herself and for her members at Life's Hurdle, is accessibility. This is because the workout people do will always be more effective than the one they don't. 'There are all sorts of different tools you can use, whether that's a couple of dumbbells, resistance bands or a kettlebell,' she says. 'You don't always need to have weights – you can use bodyweight exercises as well. 'I don't think workouts have to be complicated either. It's important to do them right technically, but you don't need to get too fancy with it – do the basics and do them well.' She tries to hit every major muscle group in each session, strengthening not only the muscles but also the bones, tendons, ligaments and joints across her entire body. This will make everyday tasks feel easier, and leave your body more resilient to injury.

Rebecca Adlington: After my miscarriages, I was diagnosed with coeliac disease. It's changed everything
Rebecca Adlington, 36, lives in Cheshire with her husband and two children. In October 2024, she was diagnosed with coeliac disease after suffering with debilitating symptoms including stomach pain, extreme fatigue, and mouth ulcers for over two years. Initially, Rebecca put the pain down to hormonal changes following multiple pregnancies however, after suffering two miscarriages, her doctors couldn't pinpoint the cause of her stomach pain and sent her for testing, one of which was for coeliac disease. Rebecca says the diagnosis has been life-changing. The former Olympian talks us through her daily routine and what she eats – and how this has changed since her diagnosis. Wake up Each morning, the alarm rings at 7am and chaos descends on our household as my husband Andy and I attempt to get the kids (Summer, 10, and Albie, 4) ready for school and out the door by 8.30am. My first priority is to make our lunch boxes and prepare a breakfast I can eat on the go. My go-to used to be the instant porridge pots which I absolutely loved, however they're sadly off the table for me as gluten-free versions aren't readily available. I didn't actually realise how many foods contain gluten. After 35 years of freely eating them, it's been difficult to adapt to my food shop taking double the amount of time as I comb the aisles, searching for the Crossed Grain Trademark which means a product is safe for those with coeliac disease. Now, I tend to make a protein shake for breakfast with frozen berries, cashew milk, and protein powder (a variation that doesn't include oat flour). As a former swimmer, I've always prioritised protein in my diet and that hasn't changed. We're all out the door by 8.30, the children are dropped off at school and pre-school for 8.45, and I then set off to my full-time job at my company 'Swim!', protein shake in hand. My company helps children across the country learn to swim and a typical day for me includes lots of calls and meetings, as well as visiting new swimming venues and some of the schools we work with. Morning snack Before my diagnosis, I used to love snacking on protein bars. However, I find most gluten-free protein bars to be quite claggy. They mould into one in your mouth! It's been really difficult to find healthy and satiating snacks which I still enjoy as most gluten-free protein bars are nut-based and high in calories. There's an amazing gluten-free community on Instagram and they've been my saviour when it comes to gluten-free snack recipes. My current favourite is date and yogurt clusters. If I'm feeling peckish before lunch, I'll eat one or two of these, a rice cake with some nut butter, or a banana. I've got a major sweet tooth and have discovered (to my dismay) that many chocolate bars and sweets contain gluten, specifically barley. This has been devastating! I'm eternally concerned about cross-contamination (I call it 'getting glutened') so I try to make most of my food from scratch. Lunchtime At the moment, I'm in the bad habit of eating lunch at my desk whilst continuing to work. Sandwiches used to be my go-to however they're obviously off the table now. Whenever I ate bread (especially the pre-packaged loaves) I'd feel unwell and have horrific stomach pains, so I'd actually cut it out before I was diagnosed with coeliac disease but, of course, continued to feel horrific as gluten still featured heavily in my diet. Now, I prepare a salad for lunch most days. Again, focusing heavily on the protein, including some chicken or boiled eggs. On the more hectic days when I don't have time to prepare lunch, I sometimes brave a supermarket gluten-free salad or, if they don't look appealing, a Huel meal replacement drink. At the weekend, my family and I love to keep active and explore. On a recent day out, we stopped at a pizza place for lunch and I was delighted to see gluten-free options on the menu. It meant I could enjoy a satisfying doughy pizza knowing it wouldn't be followed by days of fatigue, vomiting and nausea. However, eating out is one of the biggest challenges and I'm still not used to it. As I don't live in a big city centre, there are just a few restaurants where I live and I only feel comfortable eating in one or two of them. On restaurant menus, foods are marked vegetarian or vegan but they're rarely flagged as being gluten-free. Even if they are, there's the perpetual fear of 'getting glutened' – especially as some workers won't know that food cooked in the same fryer or oven as gluten could still cause major problems for people with coeliac disease. I recently attended an event where I was served a lovely lamb and chicken shish kebab skewer with salad. They knew I had coeliac disease and there was nothing on my plate which contained gluten and yet I still had sharp, stabbing stomach pains and was vomiting afterwards. All the other plates had a pitta bread on so my theory is that the servers may have originally put one on my plate, and then taken it off when they realised my meal was supposed to be gluten-free. Those tiny leftover crumbs may have caused me to 'get glutened'. It's scary that something so small can have such an adverse effect. In more severe cases of cross-contamination, I've spent the next five days suffering from intense stomach pains, exhaustion, and vomiting. Dinner Andy and I collect the kids from school and it's then a case of getting them to swimming lessons, Brownies, and all of their other activities before we head home for the evening. The kids eat at 5pm and their meals sometimes include gluten, however it's easier if we all eat the same food so I focus on including ingredients that are naturally gluten-free such as rice, potatoes, and veg, rather than us all eating separately. Even so, I need to have my own separate kitchen utensils and equipment including a toaster, bread bin, knives, and butter. I try to make our evening meals healthy, hearty, and filling, and Andy and I tend to eat around 6.30pm after finishing our work for the day. He's happy eating gluten-free food which makes things easier. One of my favourite meals to make is chicken satay with Tenderstem broccoli and rice. Jacket potatoes are another reliable favourite. When we do occasionally eat out, my favourite restaurants for reliable gluten-free food are Wagamama and Pizza Express. Recently it was my birthday and I was absolutely craving a roast dinner. It's difficult to prepare gluten-free as the Yorkshire puddings are not safe for those with coeliac disease, the gravy tends to contain flour, and with everything mixed on the plate, cross-contamination is a big risk. However, about 25 minutes from where I live, we found a pub which serves a gluten-free Sunday roast. I almost cried! There was no flour in the gravy and they had gluten-free Yorkies which are the rarest of the rare. It was just beautiful. Evening snack Having two miscarriages in August 2022 and October 2023 took a massive toll on my mental and physical health. I stopped consistently exercising (besides the odd bike ride or dog walk), had zero motivation and just fell out of love with my body as I tried to grieve and process our loss. I know that there is a link between coeliac disease and miscarriages. However, as I was only tested after they happened, the doctors couldn't say for sure whether they were linked. I also have PCOS [polycystic ovary syndrome] which of course is also linked to fertility so it's impossible to know whether my coeliac disease was a major factor. After I cut out gluten in October, I actually wanted to workout again. Following my diagnosis, I finally had enough energy and motivation to get back in the gym and I've really enjoyed rediscovering my love for exercise. In fact, I've got a whole routine now – Pilates class on Wednesday evening, weights on Thursday, and a run or swim on Friday. A reformer Pilates centre has just opened up in my village and I'm excited to give that a try. Since my diagnosis, I've had more energy, feel so much healthier and happier, and haven't had a single mouth ulcer. It's been a transformative shift. After my evening exercise, Andy and I put the kids to bed – Albie at 7.15 and then Summer at 8pm. Then, I'll have a final evening snack (my current obsession being my yogurt dates!) and we'll watch TV before heading to bed. Bedtime I'm not a big drinker so certainly don't grieve the fact I can no longer drink gluten-heavy beer! I'll sometimes enjoy a hot drink before bed. In my most recent cross-contamination incident, I opted for an artisanal hot chocolate which actually contained melted chocolate that contained barley and I very quickly regretted my choice! Most shop-bought hot chocolates are fine, though, so if I ever need to feed my sweet tooth I may occasionally opt for a warming mug before going to sleep. Since my diagnosis, life has undoubtedly changed for the better and, rather than being exhausted 24/7, I finally feel like a normal 36-year-old. Andy and I nod off around 10pm and I find I actually sleep less now as I'm not fatigued all the time. I've always valued my sleep but it's great to get into bed and not instantly pass out when my head hits the pillow and to wake up feeling well-rested and refreshed. As told to Ella Nunn The Coeliac Awareness Month campaign looks at raising awareness of coeliac disease by sharing real stories and empowering those affected by it to recognise the symptoms, complete the online self-assessment, and take the first step on the road to recovery.

All five members of missing Mexican band found dead near Texas border
The bodies of five musicians from the Mexican regional band Grupo Fugitivo have been discovered in Reynosa, a northern city along the Texas border, authorities announced on Thursday. The band, known for playing at local parties and dances, had been missing since Sunday. According to Tamaulipas state prosecutors, the musicians were kidnapped around 10 pm while en route to a performance venue in an SUV. The discovery of their bodies on the outskirts of Reynosa has led to the arrest of nine suspects, believed to be members of a faction of the Gulf Cartel, which maintains a strong presence in the city. While authorities have not yet disclosed the motive behind the killings, they have not denied local media reports suggesting the bodies were burned. Grupo Fugitivo performed Mexican regional music, a genre that includes styles like corridos and cumbia. Young artists sometimes pay homage to leaders of drug cartels, often portrayed as Robin Hood-type figures. It was not immediately clear if the group played such songs or if the artists were simply victims of rampant cartel violence that has eclipsed the city. But other artists have faced death threats by cartels, while others have had their visas stripped by the United States under accusations by the Trump administration that they were glorifying criminal violence. The last time the musicians were heard from was the night they were kidnapped, when they told family members they were on the way to the event. After that, nothing else was heard of them. Their disappearance caused an uproar in Tamaulipas, a state long eclipsed by cartel warfare. Their families reported the disappearances, called on the public for support and people took to the streets in protest. On Wednesday, protesters blocked the international bridge connecting Reynosa and Pharr, Texas, later going to a local cathedral to pray and make offerings to the disappeared. Reynosa is a Mexican border city adjacent to the United States and has been plagued by escalating violence since 2017 due to internal disputes among groups vying for control of drug trafficking, human smuggling and fuel theft. This case follows another that occurred in 2018, when armed men kidnapped two members of the musical group 'Los Norteños de Río Bravo,' whose bodies were later found on the federal highway connecting Reynosa to Río Bravo, Tamaulipas.
