Britney Spears conservatorship latest: Sister Jamie-Lynn’s Zoey 101 co-stars support singer with #… – The US Sun

BRITNEY'S younger sister Jamie Lynn finally broke her silence about the conservatorship in an emotional video in which she explained she had felt it was not her "place" to discuss the singer's situation. "But now that she’s very clearly spoken and said what she needed to say, I feel like I can follow her lead and say what I need to say," the 30-year-old actress said. It comes after an unnamed ex-boyfriend of the Toxic songstress told Page Six that the restrictive conservatorship prevented Britney from deciding if and when she wanted to have another child. “What she wants more than anything is to have a baby girl,” the unnamed man said. “That’s all she’s ever wanted, really. They kept her from that. They told her she had to do the Vegas show instead." Britney, 39, alleged during ...

Delta COVID Variant Could Be Dominant in Illinois By Fall, Pritzker Says – NBC Chicago

The delta coronavirus variant, which scientists believe may be the most aggressive and contagious strain of the COVID-19 virus seen so far, is expected to become the dominant strain for Illinois cases by the fall, Gov. J.B. Pritzker said Monday. Pritzker took a moment to address the ongoing pandemic during an unrelated press conference, stating "the delta variant that sent Israel back into mitigation is a growing presence in Illinois" as he continued to encourage residents to get vaccinated. "We expect it to dominate our cases statewide by the fall," he said. Pritzker, who wore a mask to the public event, said he was doing so out of an "abundance of caution" as concerns surrounding the delta variant rise. "The lessons here at home and across the world ar...

Los Angeles County health officials recommend masks indoors, regardless of vaccine status, amid spread of Delta variant – KABC-TV

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Los Angeles County public health officials are now "strongly" recommending everyone to wear masks in indoor public places, regardless of vaccination status, due to an increased spread of the Delta variant. The recommendation, which officials say is a precautionary measure, is a shift from current guidance, which allows fully vaccinated people to go maskless in most settings. "Public Health strongly recommends people wear masks indoors in settings such as grocery or retail stores; theaters and family entertainment centers, and workplaces when you don't know everyone's vaccination status," L.A. County Department of Public Health said in a statement. "Until we better understand how and to who the Delta variant is spreading, everyone should focus on maximum protection...

Jamie Lynn Spears Speaks Out Following Britney Spears Conservatorship Hearing – Deadline

On Monday, Jamie Lynn Spears made an emotional statement in support of sister Britney Spears. It came on the heels of the pop star’s own public comment at a conservatorship hearing last week. “Hey everybody, I just want to take a second to address a few things,” the younger Spears said, in the first of a series of Stories published to her official Instagram account. “The only reason I haven’t before is because I felt like until my sister was able to speak for herself and say what she felt she needed to say publicly, that it wasn’t my place and it wasn’t the right thing to do. But now that she’s very clearly spoken and said what she needed to say, I feel like I can follow her lead and say what I feel I need to say.” Related Story Amber Tamblyn Relates To Britney...

L.A. County urges everyone to wear mask indoors as Delta variant spreads – Los Angeles Times

With the highly contagious Delta variant of the coronavirus continuing to spread statewide, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health is recommending that all residents wear masks in public indoor spaces — regardless of whether they’ve been vaccinated for COVID-19. Monday’s announcement is one of the clearest signals yet of just how seriously health officials are taking the strain, and the danger it poses, particularly to those who have yet to be inoculated. Officials have said the available vaccines appear to offer strong protection. But there’s significant concern that those who have yet to receive all their required shots, or any doses at all, remain vulnerable to the Delta variant — which may be twice as transmissible as the conventional coronavirus strains. More than 3 in ...
