Britney Spears is afraid her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, is going to make bombshell claims about their marriage in his upcoming memoir, You Thought You Knew.

Federline’s memoir is described as a memoir of “fame, fatherhood and the private cost of public life – from one of pop culture’s most misunderstood figures.”

The former DJ and backup dancer had the custody of the couple’s sons, Sean Preston, 19, and Jayden Spears, 18, while Britney was under conservatorship for 13 years.

Promoting his memoir, he wrote, “I achieved my biggest dreams, dealt with crushing heartbreak and endured constant ridicule, all while becoming the father my children needed as they experienced nonstop emotional turbulence. If you’ve ever had questions, you’ll find answers here.”

Now, “Britney is beside herself over this tell-all.”

An insider told Radar Online that the Princess of Pop knew “it was in the works but never thought he’d go through with it.”

However, if Federline “twists things,” the Gimme More singer is “ready to come out swinging with her own version of events.”

The singer, 43, is anxious to get a copy of the book early so she can decide what to do as she’s convinced “it’s not going to be pretty.”

“Kevin’s been teasing that he’s finally telling his side of the story about what it was like being married to her, and that’s set off every alarm bell,” the mole added.

Britney Spears has already shared a highly restrained version of her side of things in her own bestselling memoir, The Woman in Me, released in October 2023.

Eminem has been opening up about the moment that changed his life.

A new report of RadarOnline.com mentioned that the 52-year-old rapper revealed in a new documentary Stans what led him to get sober. 

Reportedly, a near-fatal drug overdose became the wake-up call for the rapper to get his act right after years of prescription pill abuse. 

“I got into this vicious cycle of, ‘I’m depressed, so I need more pills,’” the Real Slim Shady crooner admitted. 

“Then your tolerance gets so high that you end up overdosing. I woke up in the hospital and didn’t know what happened,” he explained. 

He went on to recall, “I had tubes in me and I couldn’t move — I wanted to get up, but I couldn’t.”

It is pertinent to mention that by that point, Eminem had been taking up to 20 pills a day a habit that started in the late 1990s and lasted until around 2008. 

The overdose left those closest to him fearing brain damage and uncertain whether he would ever rap again.

The turning point came when he realized just how much of his family life he was losing. 

“I cried because it was like, ‘Oh my God, I missed [Hailie’s guitar recital],’” the Oscar, Emmy and Grammy winner shared of his now-29-year-old daughter. 

“I kept saying to myself, ‘Do you want to miss this again? Do you want to miss everything? If you can’t do it for yourself, at least do it for them.’”

“My writing had gotten terrible,” he confessed. 

“I had to find that rhythm again — like rebuilding a muscle,” he remarked in conclusion.

Who is hosting the 2025 VMAs?

Grammy- and VMA-winning artist LL COOL J will host the broadcast. It will be his first time as solo host, after serving as co-emcee in 2022 with Nicki Minaj and Jack Harlow. The hip-hop legend has a deep VMAs history. He took home his first Moon Person in 1991 for Best Rap and was the first rapper to receive the Video Vanguard Award in 1997.

Who has the most VMAs of all time?

The battle for VMA supremacy continues between two music superstars. Currently, Swift’s awards haul brings her to a career total of 30, tying her and Beyonce for the title of most-awarded musician in VMA history. With both artists nominated in major categories tonight, one could potentially break the tie and claim the record as the most decorated VMA artist of all time.

With 14 awards in total, Eminem is now the male artist with the most VMAs, though his count falls well behind the leading women in VMA history.

Don’t miss tonight’s show starting at 8 p.m. ET. Whether you’re watching on CBS, MTV or streaming on Paramount+, you’ll be witnessing music history in the making.
