Another Britney Spears documentary is in the works.
Deadline reports that this latest look at the pop icon’s life is being produced by the BBC and anchored by journalist Mobeen Azhar. He traveled from Spears’ hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana, to Los Angeles and interviewed numerous fans and people close to the singer. A premiere date hasn’t been announced yet, but the BBC is looking to sell the broadcast rights to the film, tentatively called Britney, overseas.
This documentary follows Framing Britney Spears, which aired earlier this year on FX and Hulu.

There’s never been any talk about a Bruce Springsteen bio-pic in the vein of Queen‘s Bohemian Rhapsody or Elton John‘s Rocketman. But if there is one, Nick Jonas of The Jonas Brothers wants a shot at the role.
Jonas tells Zane Lowe, “Growing up in New Jersey, Bruce obviously has a special place in my heart and my creative life, and it is a dream of mine…to play him in a movie one day and tell his story in some way that would be honoring to him and that he could be involved with.”
Jonas has carved out a decent acting career alongside his day job in music. He’s been in two Jumanji films and Midway, and had a regular role on the series Kingdom.

Tina Turner is saying goodbye to fans. In her new HBO documentary, ‘TINA,’ the 81-year-old says she’s ready to spend the final chapter of her life out of the public’s eye. Tina isn’t in the best health. She has suffered a stroke, cancer, and kidney failure. But she says she’s found peace and happiness in her old age. ‘TINA’ begins streaming on HBO March 27th.
