Oprah Winfrey could have another blockbuster interview in the works. Britney Spears is considering a “tell-all interview with Oprah.”
She’s feeling inspired from an outpouring of support since the release of Framing Britney Spears, streaming now at FX on Hulu. She’s feeling “more understood” and wishing to further reveal her story. Britney wants to share with the world her unique perspective.
A source said Britney would trust a very short list of people to help tell her story, from her pop princess days to becoming a conservatorship recluse. The insider told Entertainment Tonight, (quote) “Britney always hated doing interviews but if she ever takes that step, Oprah would most likely be her first choice.” (Entertainment Tonight)
Sharon Osbourne is convinced CBS will fire her as the network investigates her behavior on the set of The Talk.
In an interview with The Daily Mail, Sharon defended herself, saying the claims against her “are crap.”
She’s accused of using racist language with her co-hosts. But Sharon says, “In situations like this, you’re always going to get people who you’ve had disagreements with in the past, people who’ve got axes to grind, who come out of the woodwork and they’ll come out with their BS and that’s it.”
The Talk was put on hiatus Monday after Sharon mixed it up with co-host Sheryl Underwood last week while defending her friend Piers Morgan over his criticism of Meghan Markle. Now Sharon believes “they’re going use me as a sacrificial lamb and fire me.”
She calls the accusations “revenge” from bitter people.
Armie Hammer has been accused of rape and is under investigation by the LAPD, Variety reports.
The anonymous woman, who first made allegations about the actor on social media, came forward in a press conference on Thursday. Beside her attorney, Gloria Allred, the woman said, “On April 24th, 2017, Armie Hammer violently raped me for over four hours in Los Angeles, during which he repeatedly slapped my head against a wall, bruising my face. He also committed other acts of violence against me to which I did not consent.”
The woman, Effie, had an on-and-off relationship with Armie from 2016 to 2020.
Armie’s attorney denies the allegations. Andrew Brettler says, “Effie’s own correspondence with Mr. Hammer undermines and refutes her outrageous allegations. As recently as July 18th, 2020, [she] sent graphic texts to Mr. Hammer telling him what she wanted him to do to her. Mr. Hammer responded making it clear that he did not want to maintain that type of relationship with her.”
The LAPD later confirmed that Armie “is the main suspect in an alleged sexual assault investigation that was initiated February 3rd of this year.”
Effie did not disclose her full legal name during the press conference. She’s believed to be the woman behind the Instagram account “House of Effie,” which made allegations against the actor earlier this year.
