Britney Spears Instagrammed the frightening account of locking herself inside the bathroom in the middle of the night. While trapped and waiting to be rescued, she cleaned the sink and toilet.

She personally wrote this Instagram post. You can tell because it sounds exactly the way Britney talks. (quote) “At 2am I decided to take a bath! I got a new scented lotion from Victoria’s Secret and I wanted to wear it because it helps me sleep better!!”

She added what would later be an important detail. (quote) “I went to the bathroom and looked at my leftover coffee from earlier in the morning and said ‘gross’ but didn’t throw it away.”

Britney’s yells finally woke her boyfriend. He tried but failed at prying open the door. She called her beefy bodyguards to come to free her. While they hammered away at the door handle, Britney said, (quote) “I started feeling foggy, so I drank the old coffee I had left over from the morning … I was reenergized.”  (Billboard)


Taylor Swift fangirled Tuesday night on Olympic gymnast Simone Biles. Swift provided the dramatic voiceover to promote Biles’s comeback performance on the balance beam.

She said about the gymnast’s mental health issues (quote) “Her honesty as beautiful as the perfection that had long been her signature. But don’t you see? It still is. She’s perfectly human.” (New York Post)

Simone responded on social media, (quote) “I’m crying. how special. I love you @taylorswift13.”

Taylor replied on Twitter, (quote) “I cried watching YOU. This week was a lesson in emotional intelligence and resilience. We all learned from you. Thank you.”

NFL quarterback and the reigning MVP, Aaron Rodgers, complimented Simone Biles following an interview with NBC Olympics host Mike Tirico. (quote) “You are the Goat! Very inspiring stuff #MentalHealth”
