Britney Spears‘s troubled personal life took another turn on Wednesday — with her lawyer filing a petition to put her “temporary” conservator in permanent control of her affairs.
Brit’s attorney formally requested that Jodi Montgomery, who’s been making decisions for the singer since September of 2019, be made her permanent conservator — icing dad Jamie Spears out of the picture. Montgomery initially took over after Jamie fell ill and was hospitalized for several months.
The petition asks that Jamie Spears resign from controlling Britney’s day-to-day decisions. He may continue to look after her estate, but Jodi Montgomery would make calls about Britney’s ability to work, her rights to visit her teenage sons and possible control of a tell-all interview. (Variety)
Bono is one of the voices in a new animated Web series that spotlights the limited access to the COVID-19 vaccines in the world’s poorest countries.
Seven episodes of Pandemica are on the YouTube page of the One Campaign, the health and anti-poverty organization co-founded by the U2 singer. The voice cast for the series includes Penelope Cruz, Connie Britton, Nick Kroll, Kumail Nanjiani, Phoebe Robinson, Michael Sheen and Wanda Sykes.
Bono tells Rolling Stone, “Beyond the animation and subversive humor, you’ll see that Pandemica is the worst place to be in the COVID-19 pandemic. While Pandemica may not be a real place, for billions of people around the world it’s all too real. Vaccines now bring the hope of a way through, but it won’t be a way out unless every country on the planet has access to enough vaccines. If this vaccine isn’t everywhere, then this pandemic isn’t going anywhere.”
