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 44-year-old - who sent the tongues of fans wagging in a recent racy shoot - was seen at LAX Airport in Los Angeles on Tuesday with her eldest daughter and mom Tina Ann Drew, 65. Maxwell already looks taller than her famous 5feet3 mother as they stood in line to check-in at the terminal and travel hub. Jessica looked every bit the celebrity as she sported a leopard patterned fur coat and large designer shades at the airport. Her blonde locks were worn down in a middle-part as she donned a full face of make-up topped off with shiny pink lip. Maxwell donned a pink hoodie as she held onto a black coat and a pair of Apple AirPods Max over-the-ear headphones. Jessica Simpson 's 13-year-old daughter Maxwell towered over her as they were seen at LAX Airport in Los Angeles on Tuesday This comes weeks after Jessica and her other mini-me daughter Birdie modeled matching swimsuits to promote the star's new line which dropped at Walmart. The Dukes Of Hazzard actress - who was recently called out by trolls over her very plump lips - uploaded fun photos to Instagram Friday to show off pieces from the latest spring collection. In one picture, the TV personality and her youngest child, six, posed next to each other while standing on a wooden deck. Simpson donned a yellow, one-piece swimsuit with a plunging neckline on the front which can be purchased on the retailer's main website for $20. Birdie - who has previously appeared in campaigns for Jessica's clothing brand - wore a cutout swimsuit in the same mango-colored shade which is priced at $14. The mom-of-three slipped into a pair of dark red cowboy boots while her daughter wore a pair of pink boots. In another image, Simpson - who celebrated Birdie's sixth birthday last month - continued to model the stylish one-piece while sitting on top of a wooden picnic table. She accessorized the look with chained necklaces as well as flashy bracelets on each of her wrists. Jessica's makeup was glammed up for the snaps and comprised of voluminous lashes and smoky shadow around her eyes. Simpson continued to showcase other items from the collection and flaunted her toned figure in a $20 black ruffled bikini top as well as $16 coverup shorts. The singer - who notably dropped 100lbs amid her weight loss journey - also slipped into a pair of open-toed heels. Jessica gushed about having the chance to work with Birdie in the campaign. 'Being on set with my Birdie was so special!' she penned. 'There's just something magical about seeing my kids in front of the camera. 'It's beautiful to witness the confidence and playfulness my kids give in the moment. We had so much fun together. Birdie is a little ham!' Simpson told her followers that the six-year-old 'loves to be in the center of it all' and sweetly added, 'look out for this little lady, world! 'My kiddos make everything so real and authentic, which is exactly how I want my brand to be, so having them as part of it feels natural to me.' The actress concluded with, 'As for matching - it happens pretty often by accident, honestly. We seem to coordinate without even trying! I also love a good mommy-and-me look, and it's so cute when we can make it happen.' Jessica shares Birdie as well as Maxwell, 12, and Ace, 11, with estranged husband Eric Johnson. After tying the knot in 2014, the actress announced their split earlier this year in January. Back in 2020, both Birdie - who was a baby at the time - and Maxwell joined their mother in a campaign for her clothing brand. During an interview with People published on Friday, Jessica opened up about the new spring collection that is currently available at Walmart. 'For me, personally, style evolves as I do on a personal level, through each stage of my life.' She added, 'That's the inspiration for my music right now...[her new album] Nashville Canyon is an evolution of past, present, future, versatility, femininity, openness and confidence.' The TV personality officially dropped the EP last month on March 21 - which contains a total of five tracks including Use My Heart Against Me and Blame Me. 'I'm loving our florals and crochet details for all the spring flings and things! The swimsuits and sunnies are for a poolside day with the kids or lunch out with friends,' the star added of the collection. 'I wouldn't miss out on our denim separates. They are staple pieces year round,' she further said while adding that the line is 'joyful and gives sunny happy vibes. 'I absolutely do dress to boost my mood. When I wear something that feels really good, it lifts my energy, and that's what I want to give to everyone who wears the JS Collection.' The line is described as 'Sunny Cali-boho with Texas charm' - and offers items such as swimwear, denim pieces, dresses and accessories. It comes shortly after Simpson was seen reuniting with estranged husband Eric Johnson earlier this week on Monday just months after announcing their shock split. During the outing, the pair were joined by their three children as well as who appeared to be Johnson's parents. On her latest EP, the star seemingly hinted that Eric may have cheated on her in the track titled Leave. Some of the lyrics included: 'What we had was magic/Now you've made it tragic/Giving her what you gave to me/ Now the well that you drank from is empty.' Jessica also belted out, 'Your weakness made me lonely/Unholy matrimony/Did you do to her what you did to me/Was she on her knees/She's everything but me.' In January, the singer announced her split from Johnson in a statement to People and shared: 'Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage. 'Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family.' During an interview with People last month, she gave an update on their split and said, 'I've grown up so much. I can handle so much. Maybe I'm just meant to love a lot of people in my life.' The blonde beauty then told the outlet: 'I don't know why my heart gets tossed around but I'm one of the lucky ones. At least I have my children and I still have Eric. He's still very much a part of my life and will always be.' In regards to creating the album, Simpson explained, 'Discovering this music is something I did on my own. 'Thank God I had Nashville, it was just a way of me owning myself and declaring it,' the Dukes Of Hazzard actress continued.
