Britney Spears is ready to take her rightful place on the throne and become a pop princess again!

Well, just by saying the bare minimum, Justin Timberlake may have said more than he wanted!
In case you didn’t hear, JT was reportedly paid $6 million (!!!) to perform on opening night at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas on Thursday night. The exclusive gig marked the 42-year-old’s first time back on the stage since 2019… so also his first time since the release of Britney Spears‘ memoir The Woman In Me!
Justin answered a big question a lot of fans probably had by, yes, playing the breakup anthem Cry Me A River.
Everyone wondered if he’d still keep it in the playlist after Brit wrote that it left her looking like a “harlot who’d broken the heart of America’s golden boy.” JT did play the song, commenting first with a half-hearted — and maybe even snarky:
Yeah, he completely made light of some pretty icky accusations! Ugh…

Was Brit Brit upset about his performance? Nope! According to a close insider to the Princess of Pop for DailyMail.com, she appreciated that he acknowledged the song as disrespectful:
Whether he was being sincere or not (probably not), just acknowledging that there was controversy was a small victory as far as Brit was concerned! After all, it would be the first time he has in over two decades!
The source went on to say Justing has never once apologized or reached out to the Everytime singer — but at this point it’s too little too late with her:
Oof. Justin’s looking more than a little Toxic after all these revelations! Reactions, Perezcious readers?

In her 2023 memoir, The Woman In Me, Britney Spears wrote that “pushing forward in my musical career is not my focus at the moment.” However, sources have revealed that multiple songwriters are working new music for an upcoming album that could arrive as soon as this year. Both Charli XCX and Julia Michaels are mentioned by Page Six as being among the artists who have written songs for the rumored follow-up to Spears' 2016 album Glory.
Charli XCX is reportedly working on music for Britney Spears‘ comeback album.Spears hasn’t released any music since 2016’s ‘Glory’, taking a hiatus to fight the conservatorship her father had held over her since 2008. Jamie Spears was suspended from his role as conservator in 2021.Despite that, she has guested on two songs – will.i.am‘s ‘Mind Your Business’ from last year and Elton John‘s ‘Hold Me Closer’ from 2022.Now, sources have suggested that Charli XCX is part of the writing team for Spears’ prospective comeback album, but has not yet met her.“The Britney album is being kept top secret.
Britney Spears opened up about her relationship with her two estranged sons in her bombshell autobiography earlier this year and a flurry of new social media posts suggests they are still very much on her mind. On New Year's Day 2024 she posted a series of throwback photos of the two sons she shares with ex Kevin Federline. Sean Preston, now 18, and Jayden James, 17, were pictured as smiling blond-haired youngsters while posing for a selection of selfies with their popstar mum.
Even though Britney Spears didn’t return home for Christmas like her momma Lynne Spears wished, it doesn’t mean she’s still not open to reconciliation!
Britney Spears may not be home for Christmas after all…
Justin Timberlake for his behaviour towards Britney Spears and Janet Jackson in the past, calling him a “grubby little eel face”.Timberlake has received considerable criticism over various revelations Spears made about him in her recent memoir The Woman In Me. The pair dated between 1998 and 2002 and Spears claimed Timberlake had cheated on her multiple times, and also discussed how he damaged her reputation through the ‘Cry Me A River’ video, where “a woman who looks like me cheats on him and he wanders around sad in the rain”.She added that the media saw her as a “harlot who’d broken the heart of America’s golden boy” when in reality she was “comatose in Louisiana” trying to mend her broken heart while Timberlake was “happily running around Hollywood”.Spears also claimed he pressured her to have an abortion when he got her pregnant because he thought they “weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives” and were “way too young”.

Justin Timberlake said “no disrespect” before singing Cry Me a River live on stage - in an apparent reference to his ex Britney Spears' new memoir. The 42 year old singer, formerly a member of boyband NSYNC, reportedly made the comment before launching into his hit song at Fontainebleau in Las Vegas this week.The track caused a stir when it was released in 2002 - eight months after Justin and Britney split - as it implied that she had been unfaithful to him when they were together. Lyrics in the song included: "You don't have to say, what you did, I already know, I found out from him.” And further fuelled was added to fire when a Britney lookalike was cast in the music video for the song.
We think this is the first time Justin Timberlake has performed live in years – and he BROUGHT IT! The grand opening of the @FontainebleauLasVegas was a private performance, but he put on a big show! It was as if we went to see him in concert. Band! Dancers! Lights! And that razzle dazzle that only he and Bruno Mars bring live. The two of them are peerless in that category!
