Prominent Lawyer in Discussions to Represent Britney Spears – The New York Times

A prominent Hollywood lawyer has had discussions in recent days with Britney Spears about representing her in her conservatorship battle, and he plans to attend a hearing in Los Angeles on Wednesday to begin the process of taking over as her counsel, according to a person briefed on the matter. For the past 13 years, under a strict legal arrangement that curbs many of her rights, Ms. Spears has been represented by a court-appointed lawyer whom she criticized at a hearing last month as she urged the court to let her hire her own counsel. Ms. Spears has told others she wanted to take a far more aggressive legal approach. In recent days she began having discussions with Mathew S. Rosengart, a former federal prosecutor who has represented several celebrities in recent years, about having him...

Few NC counties have more than half of population vaccinated as Delta fears worsen – WRAL.com

By Maggie Brown, WRAL multiplatform producer Raleigh, N.C. — Health officials say that you should be looking closely at the number of fully vaccinated people in your area as the newest strain of coronavirus is rapidly spreading.

These cases continue to surge among unvaccinated populations in the South. People who are living in areas with low vaccination rates — even if they are vaccinated — could be at risk of getting infected, said em...

Bella Hadid covers breasts with stunning golden lungs necklace by Schiaparelli – Page Six

Bella Hadid turned heads during the Cannes Film Festival Sunday when she arrived wearing a statement piece unlike any other on the red carpet. Hadid, 24, rocked a stunning gilded brass necklace inspired by the human lungs by designer Daniel Roseberry for Schiaparelli’s Fall 2021 collection. The piece is described by Schiaparelli as “Golden trompe l’œil lungs with rhinestones.” “Trompe l’œil” describes the artistic illusion of tricking the eye into perceiving a painted or flat detail as a three-dimensional object. The runway pro also donned a long-sleeved dress in wool crepe with a low-cut neckline. This is just the latest show-stopping look from the model, as she hit the red carpet for the film festival’s “Annette” screening last week in a curve-...

This slumber party bites. Nearly 200 people who paid to take part in a sleepover event at a zoo in Nebraska are being urged to get rabies shots — because they may have been exposed to a rabid bat, according to officials. A camper awoke at the Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium in Omaha on July 4 and spotted one of the disease-carrying mammals flying near her head, the zoo said Friday. The woman wasn’t scratched or bitten, but the zoo later found seven wild bats  — including one that tested positive for rabies — inside the venue and said up to 186 people may have been exposed. “The bats we identified were little brown bats, a common bat species in Nebraska that anyone could find in their backyard or attic,” said Doorly Zoo Animal Health Director Dr. Sarah...

Virgin River Season 4 Spoilers: Jack & Mel Finale Twists Explained – TVLine

When Virgin River showrunner Sue Tenney first discussed Season 3 with Netflix, she promised a “humdinger” of a finale. As it turns out, that was an understatement. Between the mountaintop proposal, the paternity shocker, the surprise visitor, the arrest of a potential shooter and the fate of a beloved character hanging in the balance, this felt like the finale to end all finales.
