Britney Spears' Manager Says The Pop Star May Never Perform Again

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.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
