Julez J. Smith Jr. Celebrates 19th Birthday with Star-Studded Family Gathering

Regrettably for Justin Timberlake, his history with female pop stars has drawn scrutiny and criticism, casting a shadow over his public image. Currently, he is facing a barrage of backlash for allegations of infidelity during his relationship with Britney Spears. In addition, the singer has accused the *NSYNC member of pressuring her to undergo an abortion for selfish reasons and ending their relationship via a text message. Furthermore, his infamous 2004 Super Bowl Halftime Show performance with Janet Jackson, during which he exposed her breast to millions of viewers, inflicted lasting damage on her career.

Adding another layer to the narrative, sources now suggest that Britney Spears and Janet Jackson have bonded over their shared experiences involving Justin Timberlake, as reported by Daily Mail. An anonymous insider claimed, “Both felt he had a lot to gain by tearing them both down.” It is revealed that Janet and Britney continue to offer each other support and “bond” over these challenging situations. “Janet has reached out to offer her support and ­encouragement,” the insider added.

According to the alleged source, “Britney was appalled by the way Janet Jackson was treated during the Super Bowl.” She felt that both she and Janet were targeted by the same public relations machinery that had vilified her. The two artists had private conversations around that time, which have recently resumed. Their shared experiences have brought them closer, with Janet expressing her solidarity and encouragement to Britney.

In the midst of the mounting backlash, Justin Timberlake has disabled comments on his Instagram and embarked on a family trip to Cabo San Lucas. Previously, after a documentary on Britney Spears in 2021, he expressed regret for his past actions. He stated, “I am deeply sorry for the times in my life where my actions contributed to the problem, where I spoke out of turn or did not speak up for what was right. I specifically want to apologize to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson, both individually, because I care for and respect these women, and I know that I failed.” Stay tuned for further news and updates on Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, and Justin Timberlake

In a remarkable feat, Taylor Swift’s most recent re-recording, “1989 (Taylor’s Version),” secured the largest opening on the Billboard 200 chart in nearly a decade during the past week. The album made its debut at the coveted No. 1 spot, with an impressive 1.653 million equivalent album units sold for the week ending on November 2. This accomplishment marks the most significant debut since Adele’s “25” made waves by selling 3.482 million units during its first week in 2015. Notably, the re-recorded “1989” outperformed the original version, which debuted with 1.287 million units in November 2014.

While “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” ranks as the highest-selling album since 2015, it also stands as the sixth highest-selling album of all time in terms of traditional album sales, contributing 1.359 million to the overall sum. This places it behind iconic albums like NSYNC’s “No Strings Attached” (2.416 million), NSYNC’s “Celebrity” (1.878 million), Eminem’s “The Marshall Mathers LP” (1.76 million), and Backstreet Boys’ “Black & Blue” (1.591 million). Furthermore, Taylor Swift has earned the title of having the most number-one albums among female artists, totaling 13 chart-toppers. This achievement puts her in a tie with Drake, securing the third position on the list, behind only JAY-Z with 14 and the Beatles with 19.

Swift initiated the re-recording of her first six studio albums in 2019 as part of an ongoing dispute over the ownership of her masters. After her former label, Big Machine Records, was acquired by Scooter Braun, she was unable to regain control over her earlier works.

Beyond her musical success, Taylor Swift has been romantically linked to Kansas City Chiefs’ star tight end, Travis Kelce. The pop star has made appearances at several of Kelce’s games, prompting media attention. Kelce addressed the frenzy surrounding their relationship in October, stating, “We’re learning with the paparazzi taking photos from all over the place. But at the same time, you know, it comes with it. You’ve got a lot of people that care about Taylor, and for good reason. You’ve just got to keep living and learning and enjoying the moments.” Stay tuned for updates on their relationship and more.

Joe Budden and Tasha K have put their recent feud behind them and reconciled, ending the tensions that arose over an unreleased interview on The Joe Budden Podcast. Both parties engaged in a text conversation shared on Instagram over the weekend to address the situation.

Tasha K initiated the exchange with a message expressing her concern: “Please make sure that the viewers can’t see up my dress. I’m a married woman and mother.” Joe Budden’s initial response humorously read, “Oh… Stupid me thinking you might lead with an apology lol. But duly noted, I got you lol.” Tasha then replied, “I apologized in a full video. But I apologize for cursing you out. Now your turn.”

Tasha K later shared screenshots of their conversation on Instagram, and Joe Budden commented with a simple, “Apology accepted Tasha.”

Fans were relieved to witness Joe Budden and Tasha K mending their relationship. One user expressed their support, saying, “You know in the past I was torn at times with how I felt about you, ma’am, but I respect you and truly love the authenticity and rawness and also how you know to address when you are wrong! Now I can’t stop watching you! If you leak it, there is always some truth to it, no matter what the naysayers say.” Some fans also hoped for the release of the video interview.

Previously, Joe Budden had indicated that he wouldn’t release the interview due to Cardi B’s ongoing lawsuit against Tasha K. He explained his decision on his show, Joe Budden After Hours, in September, stating, “Like I already told her, that interview was a problem legally, financially, and algorithmically. It was a lot going on in that interview. It would be foolish of me to just put out an interview with the girl that just got sued and lost for $4 million without checking this.”

Stay tuned for further updates on the evolving dynamics between Joe Budden and Tasha K.
