Controlling Britney Spears: The 5 most shocking allegations from the bombshell new documentary – The Washington Post

According to Vlasov, around the time Spears got an iPhone, Jamie, Yemini and a staffer named Robin Greenhill from Tri Star Sports and Entertainment (the company that handles Spears’s accounting and finances) huddled to figure out how they could monitor Spears’s usage of it. Yemini allegedly asked Vlasov if parental controls could be installed; ultimately, according to Vlasov, it was Greenhill who suggested that the trio could sign into Spears’s iCloud account with an iPad and set it up to mirror all of her iPhone activities. Yemini, Greenhill and Jamie, according to Vlasov, proceeded to read all the texts and communications that came to and from Spears’s phone, even those between Spears and her then-lawyer, Samuel D. Ingham III.

James Bond Producer Barbara Broccoli: “Amazon Have Told Us The Films Will Be Theatrical In The Future” – Deadline

Many have been hoping the arrival of much-delayed Bond film No Time To Die will provide a shot in the arm to the pandemic-ravaged box office. Daniel Craig’s last outing as Bond opens next week for Amazon-owned studio MGM. Ahead of its bow, Craig and producer Barbara Broccoli have been discussing the franchise’s past and future amid so much industry debate over streaming vs theatrical. Broccoli told Sky in the UK: “We focussed on making the films for theatrical release and… I think that’s our position. [Amazon] certainly have told us that the films will be theatrical films in the future. And we’ll see what happens.” Craig told the broadcaster he is grateful that Bond producers “held their nerve” to get his last 007 outing into cinemas rather than putting it online only. ...

Do I have fall allergies or COVID-19? – WJW FOX 8 News Cleveland

DENVER (KDVR/WATE) – Fall is officially here and with it, comes seasonal allergies. From coughing, to sneezing, and even that scratchy throat, how can you tell the difference between your allergies and COVID-19? The answer might not be as simple as it seems. The easiest way to determine the difference is by getting a COVID-19 test. Walmart scrapping layaway; here’s what’s replacing it According to Dr. Flavia Hoyte, an allergist with National Jewish Health, “Most people who have allergies know what their allergies feel like and when they tend to peak.” A fever does not accompany allergies, so if you have one it could be the first sign that you may want to get tested for COVID-19. Experts warn that you can also be sick with COVID-19 and not have a fever, ho...

Diet rich in dairy may be linked to lower risk of heart disease: report – Fox News

A diet rich in dairy fat may be linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, researchers say. In a new Swedish cohort study published in the journal Plos Medicine, international experts challenged the view that full-fat dairy options should be avoided due to saturated fat.  MOST WOMEN AREN'T GETTING REGULAR TESTS FOR CANCER, OTHER DANGEROUS DISEASES, SURVEY SHOWS Looking at the dairy fat intake in 4,150 Swedish adults – the majority of whom were female, with a median age of 60.5 years – over a period of 16.6 years, the group measured the blood concentration of certain levels of fatty acids.  They recorded 578 incident cardiovascular disease events and 676 deaths, noting that cardiovascular disease risk was lower among those with higher intakes of dairy fat than compared with low...

Acetaminophen May Be Less Safe During Pregnancy Than Previously Thought – Gizmodo

Tablets of acetaminophen. The drug is called paracetamol in most parts of the world.Photo: Scott Barbour (Getty Images) An international group of scientists is warning pregnant people about the over-the-counter painkiller acetaminophen. In a consensus statement released this week, they argue that enough evidence has emerged to suggest that acetaminophen could be more harmful to take while pregnant than currently thought. They’re now recommending that pregnant people take it as little as medically needed until health regulators can reexamine its safety. Acetaminophen is one of the oldest and most widely used drugs in the medicine cabinet, having been discovered in the late 1800s and formally released on the market in the 1950s. Though it’s long since become a generic drug, it’s most w...

Let’s Talk About Sex – The New York Times

MILAN — Forget the summer of love; welcome to the season of sex. It has been bubbling up ever since New York Fashion Week began (ever since the naked summer, really). But on Friday it moved to the center of the catwalk conversation. When Versace and Prada — the id and the ego of the Italian industry — both start getting fleshy, something is going on. There they were: a dozen shirtless six-packed men in black trousers, parading down the runway at Versace to take positions on either side, next to a series of braided black silken ropes. On cue, they began to pull them in unison, making the canopy of silk scarves strung overhead undulate up and down (are you feeling hot and bothered yet?). And here was a ribbed knit with stitched-in bra cups at Prada; a dress unbuttoned down to below the bel...

Does My Mask Protect Me if Nobody Else Is Wearing One? – The New York Times

If I’m the only person wearing a mask in a store or other indoor location, am I really protected from infection? It’s true that masks work best when everyone in the room is wearing one. That’s because when an infected person wears a mask, a large percentage of their exhaled infectious particles are trapped, stopping viral spread at the source. And when fewer viral particles are floating around the room, the masks others are wearing would likely block those that have escaped. But there is also plenty of evidence showing that masks protect the wearer even when others around them are mask-free. The amount of protection depends on the quality of the mask and how well it fits. During a hotel outbreak in Switzerland, for instance, several employees and a guest who tested positive for the coron...
