We're heading over to the US now where Britney Spears has avoided jail time after pleading guilty to a lesser charge of reckless driving in her DUI case.
The 44-year-old pop star was initially charged with driving under the combined influence of alcohol and at least one drug in March.
after police spotted her driving fast and erratically in Southern California, where she was arrested after failing a series of field sobriety tests.
She was released on bail the next day and voluntarily entered a substance abuse treatment program a month later.
And wrapping up headlines today by talking about fashion's biggest night.
Yes, the Met Gala is about to get underway in New York City.
Co-chairing this year's Met Gala is Beyonce, who will be making her first appearance in a decade, Venus Williams and our very own Nicole Kidman, of course, alongside Vogue's Anna Wintour, who curates the very highly exclusive guest list to this event.
So I don't know.
No, but that's...
This is the key time for those people to be making appearances at things like the Met Gala.
Because they're doing press and they're out and, you know, everyone wants a piece of them.
Like, I think, yeah, it'd be pretty telling if Meryl Streep wasn't there.
There also have been protests outside the museum citing Amazon's labour record and...
tech bro takeover of the event.
I remember last year, in the last couple of years, the event's been marred by a bit of criticism, particularly on social media, around conflicts in the Middle East and kind of this idea of like a Hunger Games event where, you know, these are the people in the capital where they're, you know, dressed in these impeccable costumes and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars while people are starving on the other side of the world.
So there's always a bit of chatter around the Met Gala, whether you're
into the fashion and you just like the event for what it represents or you kind of see a deeper side to it.
So I'm sure those conversations will continue in 2026.
Yeah.
If you are not a piece of shit human.
