Britney Spears has stated that she is working on a book, confirming rumours in the US media that the pop queen was planning a new tell-all memoir. Spears announced the news in an Instagram statement on Monday night. The memoir, according to the singer, will address terrible moments in her life that she has "never been able to convey honestly." A judge ended a legal guardianship that had ruled over many parts of her life for almost a decade in November. When Spears suffered a mental health crisis in 2008, her father, Jamie Spears, placed her under conservatorship. He had complete control over her finances and career decisions, as well as crucial personal considerations like her visits to her teenage sons and whether she might remarry, thanks to the contentious arrangement. While the actress has remained tight-lipped about a possible release date or publisher, Page Six reported in February that she had signed a $15 million ($11.4 million) agreement with Simon & Schuster to

Although a US Senate subcommittee deadlocked in a vote to confirm President Joe Biden's Supreme Court nominee, she is expected to be confirmed later this week. Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson would be the first black woman to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States. Six Republican-appointed judges and three Democratic-appointed justices presently make up the nine-member court. Another liberal justice, Stephen Breyer, would be replaced by Judge Jackson. On Monday, the Senate judiciary committee, which is evenly split between Democrats and Republicans like the rest of the body, voted 11-11 to support her candidacy. A final vote in front of the Senate's 100 members is scheduled on Friday. Mitt Romney of Utah and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, both Republicans, expressed their support for Judge Jackson on Monday evening. Judge Jackson's confirmation is assured, as one other Republican, Senator Susan Collins of Maine, has already stated that she will support for the candidate. De

Charles Darwin's "stolen" notebooks have been miraculously returned to Cambridge University, 22 years after they were last seen. The small leather-bound booklets, which incorporate the scientist's "tree of life" sketch, are worth millions of pounds. Their return comes 15 months after it was revealed they had gone missing, prompting the library to start a global search for them. "I'm overjoyed," says Dr. Jessica Gardner, the university's librarian. She gives a big grin as she delivers the news. She can't seem to stop grinning. "They're safe, they're in good shape, and they've arrived at their destination." But it's a real mystery as to who returned the two postcard-sized notepads. They were placed in a bright pink gift bag with the original blue box the notebooks were housed in and a plain brown envelope, and they were left anonymously. A tiny greeting was printed on it: "Librarian, Happy Easter X." Th

After a landslide in Australia, two members of a British family perished and two others were badly injured. On Monday, a falling rock killed the guy, 49, and his nine-year-old son in the Blue Mountains near Sydney. A 50-year-old woman and her 14-year-old son were both brought to the hospital with serious head and abdomen injuries. Her 15-year-old daughter was hospitalized for shock. The family was on vacation in the popular tourist location when the accident occurred, according to authorities. "Unfortunately, a landslide occurred while they were bushwalking. It's a terrible scene, to say the least "Supt John Nelson of the New South Wales Police Force remarked as much. Paramedics claimed the mother and adolescent son needed sedation and intubation before being winched to safety and taken to the hospital on Monday. According to officials, the juvenile girl was also transported to the hospital and was "very upset." "We've concentrated on caring for her whi

Breast cancer screening is one of several methods for detecting cancer. MPs have warned that the NHS in England is struggling to meet its main goal of diagnosing three-quarters of cancer cases at an early stage. Staffing shortages and interruption from the epidemic, according to the Health and Social Care Committee, are causing delays. Approximately 54% of cases are detected in stages one and two, which are critical for improving survival prospects. The goal is to diagnose 75 percent of cases in the early stages by 2028, but no progress has been made in the last six years. It signifies that England, along with the rest of the United Kingdom, lags behind comparable countries like Australia and Canada in terms of cancer survival. The committee cautioned that if the lack of progress continues, more than 340,000 people will miss out on receiving an early cancer diagnosis. The Department of Health acknowledged that "business as usual" was not enough, and that it was working on a n

Last August, Jade Marsh, also known as Jade Ward, was found dead at her home. A man accused of murdering his estranged wife has admitted to the crime. Russell Marsh denies being involved in the August murder of Jade Marsh, also known as Jade Ward, in Shotton, Flintshire. He admitted to killing her but said it was not his intention, according to Mold Crown Court. He was jealous, according to the jury, and stabbed and strangled her while her four children slept. She had broken up with her boyfriend a week before she was discovered dead. "Do you admit that you killed Jade in the early hours of August 26, 2021?" his attorney, Christopher Tehrani QC, asked. "Yes," responded Mr Marsh. Russell Marsh claimed that his four young sons were unaware that he had killed their mother. "Do you accept that you killed her for an unlawful reason?" he was asked. "Yes," he answered. "No," he answered when asked if he planned to kill her. "Yes," he

According to Sacramento police, at least six people were killed and 12 more were injured in a shooting in the city's center. Rapid gunfire erupted in an area densely crowded with restaurants and bars in the early hours of Sunday, sending people fleeing across the streets. When officers responded to the gunshots, they encountered a "very huge throng," according to police chief Katherine Lester. In the aftermath of the shootings, no suspect has been apprehended. Chief Lester described the scenario as "really terrible." Investigators had arrived at the scene, according to the officer, and he begged the public to come forward with any information that could help identify those responsible. The shooting happened around 2:00 a.m. (09:00 a.m. GMT) near the intersection of 10th and K Streets, near the Golden One Center, where the Sacramento Kings play basketball. It's also only a few blocks away from the state Capitol. Sergio, Pamela Harris's 38-year-old son, wa

The father of a police officer killed in the line of duty is trying to have her sacrifice recognized with a medal. Nicola Hughes, 23, and Fiona Bone, 32, both of Greater Manchester Police, were slain in an ambush by on-the-run gunman Dale Cregan in September 2012. Bryn Hughes is initiating a campaign to have the Elizabeth Cross posthumously awarded to emergency responders slain in the line of duty. "It may be proudly worn," he remarked. The Elizabeth Cross, first awarded in 2009, is granted to relatives of members of the armed services died in combat or as a result of a terrorist incident since World War II ended. Mr Hughes stated, " "It doesn't change anything, and it doesn't bring people back, but it does show the family that you've been recognized for your loss. "It tells those families that we are still thinking about them and that we appreciate the sacrifice they made." "It's vital to me that they're recognized, that they'

June Brown, who portrayed Dot Cotton on EastEnders for over three decades, has died at the age of 95. Her family expressed their "great sadness" at the news that their "loving mother" died "quite peacefully" at her home on Sunday. She was praised as a "wonderful woman" by EastEnders actor Adam Woodyatt. Dot Cotton was a fan favorite and one of the longest-running characters on the BBC One soap opera. Brown first appeared in EastEnders in 1985, the year the show was first broadcast. She stayed until 1993, then returned to reprise the role from 1997 to 2020. "There are no words to convey how much June was liked and treasured by everyone at EastEnders; her loving warmth, wit, and fantastic humour will never be forgotten," an EastEnders spokeswoman stated. "June established one of the most iconic characters in Dot Cotton, not just in soap but in British television, and her extraordinary performances created some of EastEnders finest mo

Jacob Rees-Mogg claims Boris Johnson was given "false information" on whether parties were held in Downing Street during Covid lockdowns. According to the minister, the PM did not intentionally mislead MPs when he stated that all guidance had been followed. As part of its probe into rule-breaking in and around Downing Street during the pandemic, the police have begun issuing fines. Mr Johnson has not yet been fined, according to No 10. Fines have been sent to persons who attended a Downing Street party on the eve of Prince Philip's burial, according to sources. The authorities are investigating 12 events, including the leaving party. At least three of the parties under scrutiny are thought to have been attended by Mr Johnson. Mr Johnson told MPs in December 2021 that "every guidance was completely followed in No 10." Mr Rees-Mogg responded to a caller on LBC who asked if the prime minister had deceived Parliament: "The fact that the prime minister received
