Britney Spears will definitely not be performing in the foreseeable future.


And Spears, one of the biggest pop stars of her generation, may swear off performing for good.

Longtime manager Larry Rudolph recently told reporters that Spears was not in the right state for performing at this time, due to mental, physical and attitudinal reasons.

Her latest Las Vegas residency has been canceled, despite having completed more than half of rehearsals.

"It was the perfect storm. We had to pull her show because her meds stopped working and she was distraught over her dad's illness."
Rudolph told TMZ:


"As the person who guides her career—based on the information I and all of the professionals who work with her are being told on a need-to-know basis—from what I have gathered it's clear to me she should not be going back to do this Vegas residency, not in the near future and possibly never again."


According to Rudolph, Spears has been declining ever since learning of her father's illness. Up until now, the singer had always made her own choices regarding when she wanted to perform, but Rudolph has had to take the reigns after this most recent collapse.

"Last summer, when she wanted to tour, she called me every day," Rudolph said.

"She was excited. She hasn't called me in months. Crickets. She clearly doesn't want to perform now."

Fans have been distraught over the news.




 While her supporters are disappointed, they ultimately want what's best for Spears.


And so does Rudolph.

"I don't want her to work again 'till she's ready, physically, mentally and passionately."
"If that time never comes again it will never come again. I have no desire or ability to make her work again."
"I am only here for her when she wants to work. And, if she ever does want to work again, I'm here to tell her if it's a good idea or a bad idea."

Let's hope she comes out of this "stronger" than ever before.

Lauren Boebert Casts Doubt On Moon Landing During Wild Interview With Conspiracy Theorist

Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert was criticized after she seemingly agreed with the conspiracy theory that the moon landing was faked in a wide-ranging interview with conservative conspiracy theorist Alex Stein.

The segment began with the duo casting doubt on nuclear weapons—Boebert even joked about needing "tin foil"—and moved into weirder territory when Stein praised Boebert for "vibing" with him on the topic of the moon landing. Conspiracy theorists have long alleged the moon landing was fabricated by NASA in what they claim was an elaborate hoax.

After all, a woman known for her progressive politics whose entire ethos is about teaching people how to be their best selves, attending the wedding of man who directly funded a fascist regime dismantling our country before our eyes doesn't exactly add up.
