Britney Spears is fiercely slammed for filming her 18-year-old son participating in shock act while driving
Britney Spears has been slammed for posting a video of her son Jayden appearing to use his phone while driving. Over the weekend, the 43-year-old singer uploaded a video of her youngest child, 18, behind the wheel of a convertible, with the two of them enjoying some mother-and-son time together. In the clip, Britney sat in the passenger seat while her son drove them around with the top down. At one point, Britney panned the camera to show Jayden behind the wheel - but many viewers were left outraged that the teen was seen holding his phone and looking down to check it while driving. Clearly thrilled to be spending time with Jayden, the Toxic songstress also stroked his hair while he had his eyes on the road. Captioning the clip, which was set to Lenny Kravitz 's hit Fly Away, Britney gushed: 'He is fix-foot-three and his hands are so big now! 'How long am I going to be in shock? It's so incredibly crazy, it's not even funny! I'm blessed! Just please be careful with my heart too!' Eagle-eyed social media users were furious to see that Jayden appeared to be pre-occupied while driving and called out both mother and son for being 'distracted.' Taking to Reddit, one social media user said: 'These are screenshots from the video as he's driving down the road with Britney in the passenger seat… 'Britney, once again, needs a "mother of the year" award for being so stupid as to let her son do this AND post the evidence for the world to see.' 'Not good Brit,' another replied. 'Not good. No one had eyes on the road.' A third pointed out: 'The touching his hair while he's driving is also dangerous.' While it is unclear which state Britney and Jayden were travelling in, in California, where she lives, it's generally illegal to hold a cell phone while driving, except for emergencies. Drivers 18 and older can use hands-free devices like Bluetooth or speakerphone but cannot cover both ears. Britney shares sons Sean Preston, 19, and Jayden James with her ex-husband Kevin Federline, whom she was married to from 2004 to 2007. The singer reunited with both her children in November after almost three years apart. Britney shares sons Sean Preston, 19, and Jayden James with her ex-husband Kevin Federline, whom she was married to from 2004 to 2007. They're seen in 2013 Over Christmas, Britney called Jayden her 'twin' as she proudly shared snaps of him on Instagram. Alongside a trio of images showing off her youngest son, Britney said: 'Mine forever! 'It's weird we're like twins but he's a boy and I'm a girl! He's mine I hadn't seen him in two-and-a-half years or maybe three. I'm in shock!' She continued: '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! When he plays the whole earth shakes!' The images featured Jayden on what looked like a hike, wearing a red t-shirt and oversized blue jeans. A month before, in November 2024, a source revealed to Page Six that Britney had reunited with Jayden after years of estrangement. At the time, the insider shared that they had been 'spending a lot of time together.' However, Sean Preston was still in Hawaii at the time of the reunion. 'Britney is thrilled to have her baby back. Everything is moving in the right direction,' the source stated. Jayden reportedly reached out to his mother and an insider also told Us Weekly that he 'is spending time back in California but does not live with Britney.'

Teddi Mellencamp reveals her 'best way to bond' with her kids even as she battles stage 4 cancer
Teddi Mellencamp may be struggling with a stage four cancer diagnosis, but that doesn't mean she's not up for trying new things. The former reality star, 43, who proudly showed off her shaved head at the Gracie Awards, showed off her latest trick in a sweet video on social media as she and her son Cruz, 12, gave the Titanic Couple Challenge a try. The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star showed a demonstration of a successfully completed stunt in which one person lies on the floor, lift their feet over their head and rests them on a second person's legs. Holding the hands of the second person, the first person straightens their knees and leans forward at an angle looking similar to the way Kate Winslet 's Rose and Leonardo DiCaprio 's Jack did in the Academy Award winning blockbuster. 'This is our second-ish try on something very special we want to do together,' the proud mom told the camera, and then speaking to her son she said, 'you think this is our sixth try?'

Mother and son both wore pajamas as they stumbled through the moves, but seemed to have good time doing it. Mellencamp white PJs with dark blue flowers, while Cruz looked comfy in green plaid bottoms and a white hoodie. The former reality star, who has worked as a personal trainer, had Cruz lie on the floor and roll backward. However, instead of putting his feet on his mom's legs, she had him put them on the lower part of her tummy across her transverse abdominus while Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On played in the background. They managed to get Cruz's head and torso off the ground, but even though his mom instructed him to 'straighten your legs,' he was unable to. However the tween laughed at the whole thing. After they abandoned the final try, Mellencamp began hamming it up and dancing for the camera and then when Cruz got up, she embraced him and made him dance with her for a moment, kissing the back of his neck. Cruz did a good job of trying NOT to look embarrassed. 'Really missed the kids and thought the best way to bond would be over a trend we couldn't do,' the fitness coach wrote next to the clip adding the hashtags #titanicchallenge and #mothersonchallenge. 'This made me cry. I don't think that was your intent, but it's just so sweet,' shared one fan of her reaction. While holding his mom's hands, Cruz rolled backwards and put his feet on his mom's torso 'Really missed the kids and thought the best way to bond would be over a trend we couldn't do,' the proud mom wrote on social media including the hashtags #titanicchallenge #mothersonchallenge When Cruz got up, she embraced him and made him dance with her for a moment, kissing the back of his neck. The 10-year-old did a good job of trying NOT to look embarrassed 'The hug at the end was honestly my favorite ❤️' wrote another. 'I have stage 4 cancer as well. Keep going Teddi❤️' revealed a fellow cancer warrior. Mellencamp's recent revelation indicates she may be able to face a lot more challenges with her kids. She shares Cruz, Slate, 12, and Dove, five, along with stepdaughter Bella, 15, with her estranged husband Edwin Arroyave. Mellencamp, who is the daughter of rocker John Mellencamp and actress Victoria Granucci, was first diagnosed with Stage 2 melanoma in 2022, but her condition took a terrifying turn earlier this year when it progressed to Stage 4 after doctors discovered multiple brain tumors. In a recent video on social media, the patient revealed her tumors have significantly shrunk, and doctors believe she is a few weeks away from being cancer free. 'I just finished with all of my scans, and my tumors have significantly shrunk, which doctors believe means that this all will work, and that I will be back to myself, and feeling good,' she told her fans on Instagram. Mellencamp who was initially told by doctors she had a fifty–fifty chance of survival revealed at the time she had two more sessions of immunotherapy, adding, 'and then hopefully I am done, and I will be cancer free.'

Louise Thompson has revealed that she took her son Leo out of nursery for the day to spend quality time together. The former Made In Chelsea star, 35, said she wants to 'soak up any opportunity I get to spend' with her three-year-old before he starts school next year. Louise said she was 'pretty apprehensive' as she took Leo to a child-friendly theatre performance where he sat through the full '50 minute performance as good as gold'. Sharing snaps during the sweet mother and son day out to Instagram on Thursday, Louise penned: 'Today I took my little bestie out of nursery for a 1:1 day date. 'We feel v lucky that Leo's nursery runs year round allowing us (and lots of other working parents) to work long hours during the week both in and out of term time. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'He is old for his year so he won't be starting school until next September - I feel like he will practically be cartwheeling in at that point - but I still want to soak up any opportunity I get to spend with him, because I know that after that point things won't be nearly as flexible and I also know that I will never get this time back. 'So bring on the impromptu hang sessions. 'I arranged to go to this amazing kids theatre over in East London called The Unicorn Thestre. We watched an adaptation of 'the koala who could', written by one of our favourite children's authors Rachel Bright. 'I've never taken Leo to the theatre before so I was pretty apprehensive given his attention span, but he sat through the 50 minute performance as good as gold. 'It felt really unpretentious (unlike a lot of adult theatres), kids could move freely, chat, eat snacks loudly, go to the loo etc and the seating arrangements felt suitably informal. We had a great time.' Louise revealed the pair got the Uber boat to the theatre and afterwards went shopping and enjoyed a 'swanky' lunch. She continued: 'We hopped on an Uber boat there which added to the fun and we met another couple who were running the exact same operation. 'Then after we headed to Battersea power station for a little browse of the Lego shop and also bought some new shoes and had a swanky Italian lunch date… lol at me eating carbonara while Leo chows on lamb chops and hopped on the boat west to head home. Louise shares son Leo, three, with fiancé Ryan Libbey and nearly died when giving birth after undergoing an emergency C-section in December 2021 due to suffering 'serious complications' 'Managed to take an intense finance call with Leo mumbling around in the background this afternoon and kept other things afloat… so all in all I'd say Thursday was a success. 'The ven diagram of trying to feel like a good parent and a good business woman is a funny one. I'll try and mock something up which will make us all feel like less of a failure… but today was one of the rare moments where I feel like I won at both. x I'll sleep sweetly tonight.' Louise shares son Leo, three, with fiancé Ryan Libbey and nearly died when giving birth after undergoing an emergency C-section in December 2021 due to suffering 'serious complications'. She ended up in intensive spent and spent five weeks in hospital, leaving her with PTSD and post-natal anxiety due to her near-death experience.

Son Warned Mom Not to Sell Her House and Travel the World. Now, She's Broke and Wants to Move in
A man denied his mom's plea to move in with him after exhausting all her resources The Reddit user explained that his mother has never been smart with money, and recently sold her house and quit her job to travel the world After her funds ran out, she asked to move in with him — but he shot her downOne frustrated son turns to Reddit after refusing to let his mother move in with him following her impulsive decision to sell her house and travel the world. The 29-year-old describes his mother as a 'free spirit' who has consistently prioritized her desires over financial stability. 'She always followed her heart, even when it made no financial sense,' he explains in his post. He notes that his childhood was also affected by his mother's impulsive behavior, which led to financial struggles. Five years ago, the mother made a drastic choice to sell her house, quit her job, and embark on a global adventure, dismissing any concerns for the future of her financial security. Her family tried to talk her out of it, but she remained adamant about her decision, telling everyone, 'That's future me's problem.' Now, the consequences of her actions have finally caught up with her. Broke and without a place to live, she turned to her son for help, asking to move in with him and his fiancée. However, the couple finds themselves in a difficult position, as they recently purchased their first home together and are planning their wedding. The son ultimately refused his mother's request, citing limited space in their small two-bedroom house and their desire to build their own life together. Instead, he offered her financial assistance to cover rent for a cheap apartment. However, his decision was met with disapproval from his mother. 'She said I was selfish and ungrateful ... and that she 'sacrificed everything' to raise me, and now I was abandoning her,' he writes. The mother accused her son of 'acting like a stranger' instead of family, which further put a strain on their relationship.

'I reminded her that she ignored everyone's warnings and that I shouldn't have to put my life on hold for her choices. She started crying, saying I didn't understand how hard it was to be alone and broke at her age,' he shares. Now, the situation has escalated beyond the immediate family. Relatives have been pressuring the son to take in his mother. They argue that he owes it to her as her child. The man's fiancée also supports him, but feels bad for his mom. As the man grapples with what he should do, Reddit users have come to his defense, noting that his mother made these choices and now has to face the consequences. "You warned her, and she refused to listen," one user commented, to which the son replied, 'It's frustrating because it feels like she hasn't learned from her past mistakes.'
