“Looks Possessed”: Britney Spears Scares Fans With New Video Showing Messy Hair And Chipped Nails
April 7, 2025
Britney Spears’s recently social media activity once again has her fans talking.
The pop princess posted a video where she donned a British accent and talked about the health of her chipped nails, as she relaxed in her Calabasis mansion on Saturday, April 5, according to Daily Mail.
She showed off her hands — and her nail polish — to her 156.4M followers.

“Like really little. So little it’s weird but I have a little bitty pink nail,” Spears was saying in a raspy voice. “I haven’t had nails since I was in, like, the seventh grade. I’m, like, like, freaking out. They’re really, really tiny but still.”
In the clip, she appeared to also be wearing her signature black eyeliner and messy blonde hair extensions.
The video was fairly short, but it’s quickly caused her followers to raise their eyebrows, expressing concern over the singer on X.

@somebodyslucy tweeted, “Britney Spears video about her nails is actually frightening.”
“[I don’t care] that ain’t Britney Spears. Her teeth ain’t never looked like that,” stated another. “It’s like she got someone else’s mouth.”
“I wish she stopped talking like that,” a third said.
But one person pointed out that her nails growing back could finally be a good sign, writing, “Her anxiety always made it so she would bite her nails off. This shows me she’s less anxious overall.”

Another chimed in to slam the excessive comments, “What else could she be talking about? How are people spinning this into something it’s not? Poor Brit can’t even post about nails. Love Brit.”
About a week ago, Spears also had a few people concerned when she shared a few cheeky selfies on Instagram of her in a red and black lingerie set.
“Definitely a character because that’s not me !!! But wait sh–t it does kinda look like me 🤔🤔🙄🙄!!! Just kidding !!!” she captioned the series of photos.
The sudden British accent definitely caught a few netizens off guard

Netizens thought she looked to be in somewhat of an “emotionally broken” state, despite the smiles she gave to the camera, with others saying she was still stuck in “the early 2000s” and that everyone “has failed her.”
“It seems like everyone has failed her,” they wrote, saying that many contemporaries in the same industry were able to grow up. “No one’s love for her was bigger than what they could get from her. I feel like she was broken by the people who loved her and the money making machine of entertainment industry.”
As of now, it appears as if Spears will be shifting her focus towards her upcoming biopic for Universal Pictures, one that she will be very hands-on in.

It’s still in the developmental stage, but director Jon M. Chu — known for his work in Wicked and Crazy Rich Asians — has shared snippets of what’s to come, getting fans excited to see Spears’s story on screen.
The film production company won the rights to the pop star’s poignant 2023 memoir The Woman In Me and will aim to tell her entire journey — her rise to stardom, her battles with mental health, and of course, the 13-year court-ordered conservatorship, which ended in 2021.

Producer Marc Platt, seemingly confirmed by Spears herself, was also invited to be a part of the project.
“Excited to share with my fans that I’ve been working on a secret project with #MarcPlatt,” she wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter). “He’s always made my favourite movies… stay tuned.”
No news on casting has been made yet, but there have been rumors circulating over whether stars such as Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter, Millie Bobby Brown, Emma Roberts, Sydney Sweeney, Addison Rae, etc. were slated to play Spears.

“None of this is true,” Chu shut down in a tweet. “Sounds exciting but have not had one conversation about casting this movie yet. We are way too early in development. Sorry.”
“Yikes the voice” pointed out one person
Celebrities Who Had Enough Of Beauty Standards And Embraced Their Body Hair
June 7, 2024
Hair removal in women has long been linked with ideals of femininity and sexual appeal. Rebecca Herzig, author of Plucked: A History of Hair Removal, traces back the modern-day notion of body hair being unattractive in women to Charles Darwin’s 1871 book Descent of a Man.
But why was the 19th-century idea about hairiness bringing “sexual inversion, disease pathology, lunacy, and criminal violence” not equally applied to all genders? According to Herzig, this had to do with the enforcement of “gendered social control” at a time when women were having a more prominent role in society.
Fast forward to the 21st century, when many women are increasingly challenging this cultural norm by choosing to control their own bodies and how they display them.
While some do so in private, others are bold enough to flaunt their natural body hair in front of millions, throwing historical beauty standards out the window to prioritize their comfort.
Below, Bored Panda invites you to take a look at 16 female celebrities who have ditched the razor and shown their unshaved bodies on the red carpet or social media.
#1 Drew Barrymore
The 50 First Dates actress made a statement as she posed at the Fall Olympus Fashion Week in 2005.
Drew stunned in a look consisting of pink lips, lilac eyeshadow, and a tight V-neck dress that revealed her underarm hair.

#2 Gigi Hadid
Gigi flaunted her armpit hair when she was featured on Love Magazine’s 2017 advent calendar.
The IMG supermodel impacted the Internet when she went au naturel for the sporty shot, which many interpreted as a nod to the body hair acceptance movement.

#3 Julia Roberts
“The picture is vivid in my mind actually from that moment,” the Oscar winner said about her much-talked-about look at the London premiere of Notting Hill in 1999.
While people interpreted the armpit hair as a statement about strict (and painful) beauty standards for women, Julia said she considered it more of a fashion faux pas.
“I think I just hadn’t really calculated my sleeve length and the waving and how those two things would go together and reveal personal things about me.
“So it wasn’t so much a statement as it’s just part of the statement I make as a human on the planet, for myself.”
Still, many women celebrated this moment because, on such a memorable night for her career, a high-profile figure like Julia Roberts normalized what a woman’s natural body looks like.

#4 Britney Spears
In 2003, the Princess of Pop turned heads when she arrived at the American Music Awards at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California, wearing a stunning cut-out, bedazzled dress paired with unshaven underarms.

#5 Madonna
The Queen of Pop summarized her attitude toward the expected beauty standards for women with four words: “Long hair … don’t care!”
In 2014, Madonna challenged the body hair stigma with an Instagram photo in lingerie that exposed her unshaven armpit.
“I saw how popular girls had to behave to get the boys. I knew I couldn’t fit into that. So, I decided to do the opposite. I refused to wear makeup or have a hairstyle. I refused to shave. I had hairy armpits,” the icon told Harper’s Bazaar in 2011.

#6 Miley Cyrus
In 2015, Miley took to the stage of the amfAR Gala to accept the Award of Inspiration, which she received for her fight against HIV/AIDS. The Flowers singer opted for a tight red dress with sequin hearts and matching opera gloves.

Lourdes proudly showed off her unshaven armpits during a campaign with Converse, which was shot in 2018. The previous year, the model was photographed at the beach in Miami with her natural underarm body hair.
While the photos led to many unsolicited, sexist remarks on social media, others celebrated Lourdes’ decision to do whatever she pleased with her body.

Woman Uses One Savage Line Whenever Men Want To Split The Bill On Dates
November 7, 2023
Is gallantry dead? A woman has made it her mission to ensure that she receives first-class princess treatment whenever she’s invited on a first date.
Pearl Botts, from Los Angeles, disclosed her clever approach when men suggest splitting the bill while out dining, a strategy that hasn’t garnered unanimous approval from everyone.
Maryanne Parker, an etiquette expert, has further shared with Bored Panda her take on the traditional unwritten rule that states that men should always foot the bill when they first encounter a woman for a romantic dinner.

The singer has admitted to strongly embracing the concept of “feminine energy” and has tended to favor scenarios where men are at ease with their traditional role as providers.
Taking to her Instagram page followed by 10,000 people, Pearl revealed in a video that she has employed a specific phrase whenever a first date took an unfavorable turn, and this tactic has consistently proven effective for her.
According to Pearl, a woman paying for her own meal is “disrespectful and emasculating to the man”

She explained: “When a man wants to go 50/50 with you on a date, say: ‘Oh my god, I’m so embarrassed right now.
“‘Wait, you wanted to just be friends? I’m so confused – this whole entire time I thought this was a date.
“‘I’m so sorry – here’s my card.’”
“It has nothing to do with my own capability to provide and protect for myself”

Pearl, who frequently also uploads videos on her TikTok page followed by 11,800 thousand people, emphasized the importance of conveying to men that if she were to split the bill, she wouldn’t be satisfied with pursuing a relationship.
She prefers using her straightforward phrase to establish expectations during the initial date, where there’s little at risk.
“‘Wait, you wanted to just be friends?” Pearl would say on dates where men want to split the bill

When you let a man pay, she says, “you’re making space and giving room for him to step into his divine masculinity”
@pearlbotts Replying to @Kelly Lingus i find this disrespectful to the man #divinemasculnineenergy #feminineenergy #datingadvice #datingtips ♬ original sound – Pearl Botts
Several men and women supported the influencer’s approach, asserting that it’s prudent to establish your expectations right from the beginning.
A person commented: “The next move is that [Pearl] pays her half and never sees him again.
“She’s not looking for a 50/50 relationship and that’s fine. She’s sending a message loud and clear.”
A woman questioned: “I don’t understand why guys can’t pay for the whole bill?
“Why would you ask a woman on a date if you’re not going to pay? Who raised you?”
Others disagreed as a person wrote: “The person who invited out on a date should pay.”
A man commented: “Yeh no, if a girl ever pulled this on me I’d split the bill and never see her again.
“None of that toxic sh*t I want bringing into a relationship.”
The singer’s video sparked different reactions as some said her response was toxic

Maryanne Parker, an etiquette expert who is the Vice President and Chief Protocol Officer of the California Branch of the Royal Society of St. George, told Bored Panda that according to traditional standards, the person who initiates the date should be prepared to pay the bill, including the tip.
“However, in many cultures when a man invites a woman on a date, he covers the entire bill,” Maryanna explained.
She continued: “It is up to the woman to present herself in a classy and elegant way without being greedy and needy, if she wants to be invited back.
“However, in some situations, the woman can definitely offer to pay half of the bill. And the man can refuse or agree to accept it.
“Either way, if the first date is over coffee, and the man initiated the date, let him pay.
“If the first date is over lobster, the woman can suggest to split the bill and it is up to the man to accept it or not.”
The etiquette coach revealed that she personally prefers a man who handles the initial responsibility and takes care of the bill, especially if he was the one who initiated the date.
Pearl’s method ignited divided replies
