Britney Spears is continuing to speak her mind and share her true feelings about her “so-called support system” during her ongoing conservatorship battle.

After aiming a seething message at loved ones she says are now speaking up for her just to “save face for yourself publicly” on Friday night (July 16), Spears posted more of her personal thoughts Saturday evening on Instagram, where she penned a lengthy note along with a meme that read “Take me as I am or kiss my a–, eat s— and step on Legos.”

“For those of you who choose to criticize my dancing videos … look I’m not gonna be performing on any stages anytime soon with my dad handling what I wear, say, do, or think !!!! I’ve done that for the past 13 years,” wrote Spears, who often posts videos of herself dancing at home on her Instagram account.

She said, “I’d much rather share videos YES from my living room instead of onstage in Vegas where some people were so far gone they couldn’t even shake my hand and I ended up getting a contact high from weed all the time … which I didn’t mind but it would have been nice to be able to go to the mother f—ing spa !!!!”

“And no I’m not gonna put on heavy makeup and try try try on stage again and not be able to do the real deal with remixes of my songs for years and begging to put my new music in my show for MY fans … so I quit !!!!” Spears continued, adding a sharp note about her sister, Jamie Lynn Spears: “I don’t like that my sister showed up at an awards show and performed MY SONGS to remixes !!!!!”

“My so-called support system hurt me deeply !!!!” wrote Spears. “This conservatorship killed my dreams … so all I have is hope and hope is the only thing in this world that is very hard to kill … yet people still try !!!!”

Earlier in the week, Spears used the viral hashtag-turned-movement “#FreeBritney” for the first time, in celebration of a judge ruling that she can hire her own lawyer in her pursuit of ending the conservatorship that has controlled her life and career for the past 13 years.

But in Saturday night’s post, she noted, “I didn’t like the way the documentaries bring up humiliating moments from the past … I’m way past all that and have been for a long time !!!!”

“And for women who say it’s weird the way I still have hope for fairy tales … go f— yourself !!!!!” wrote Spears as she wrapped up her latest post. “As I said … hope is all I have right now … you’re lucky I post anything at all … if you don’t like what you see, unfollow me !!! People try to kill hope because hope is one of the most vulnerable and fragile things there is !!!! I’m gonna go read a mother f—ing fairy tale now !!!! Psss if you don’t want to see my precious a– dancing in my living room or it’s not up to your standards … go read a f—ing book !!!!!”

During the grand opening of his first Las Vegas residency on Friday night (July 16), it was difficult to tell who was having the most fun: Usher or the audience. But there’s no denying that the singer-songwriter has now left his own indelible stamp on The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, home to previous residencies by Celine Dion, Cher, Elton John, Mariah Carey and Rod Stewart.

“This feels so good that I don’t want to close the curtain,” said a beaming Usher surrounded by cast and crew at the end of his sold-out, 90-minute set.

Between then and the time the red velvet curtains opened at around 9:30 p.m., the singer kept a screaming audience on its feet the entire time — beginning with his electrifying entrance in the middle of the audience. Wearing a sparkly blue outfit and declaring, “You’re in Vegas,” Usher launched into a snippet of “My Way” as he strode around the right side of the venue to the stage.

From there, Usher rolled out hit after hit as well as other fan faves curated from a Grammy Award-winning career that began in 1994. The energetic journey down memory lane kicked off with “Caught Up,” followed by “Love in This Club” and “Party” (the Chris Brown song featuring Usher and Gucci Mane). It was a nonstop audience sing-along as Usher and his crew of dancers triggered a slew of oh-wow moments from there, including “Lovers and Friends” and “There Goes My Baby.”

During a segment devoted to his Atlanta roots, Usher donned skates along with his dancers and turned the massive Colosseum stage into a giant roller rink as he performed “Don’t Waste My Time” (featuring Ella Mai). Then in a nod to Magic City, Atlanta’s famous strip club, pole dancers showcased their flexibility amid a shower of Ush bucks to such songs as “I Don’t Mind,” “Bad Girl,” “Good Kisser” and “Back to Sleep” (Chris Brown featuring Usher and Zayn).

Noted Usher at one point, “You all know I was raised in the ‘A’ … it’s the ATL in Vegas.”

Working his way through a playlist that also included “DJ Got Us Fallin’ in Love,” “OMG” and, of course, “Yeah.” At one point Usher jumped off stage to interact once more with the audience on “My Boo” and “U Remind Me.” Back on stage, Usher continued to display his own signature and mesmerizing dance skills, especially on “You Make Me Wanna…,” performing alongside four other smooth-moving male dancers.

Another crowd-pleasing moment occurred when Usher simmered his way into the Summer Walker mellow vibe on which he’s featured, “Come Thru,” complemented by sensual interplay between him and a lone female dancer. Rounding out the sexual tension in that segment during which Usher had women screaming thanks to his own suggestive moves: “Bad Habits,” “Nice & Slow” and “Climax.” A major climax of the evening itself arrived with the ballads “Burn” and “Confessions Part II.”

Beyond the depth of his catalog, the thread running throughout the evening was Usher’s showmanship and passion for his art. Except for several quick costume changes, he spent the majority of the show onstage. A close-up of his face flashed on the two giant video screens framing either side of the stage (below each of which were platforms housing the musicians) said it all: Usher grinning ear-to-ear through dripping sweat.

Before closing with a heartfelt performance of “Without You,” the 2011 David Guetta track he guested on, Usher told the audience, “I want to take two seconds to appreciate this moment.” The song was a fitting way to end the show as the singer noted afterwards, “Thank you so much for being here. I couldn’t do this without you.” Capping the evening: a shower of miniature $20 Ush bucks raining down on the sated audience.

Usher – The Las Vegas Residency continues Saturday (July 17) through Aug 14.

After Biz Markie’s death was announced Friday (July 16), reactions from his hip-hop peers — including Questlove, Q-Tip and Wyclef — started to pour in, in remembrance of the jovial “Just a Friend” rapper.

“Biz built me,” Roots mastermind Questlove started his touching tribute on Instagram, recalling how the veteran MC taught him where to dig for the best records, or even 8-tracks. “I’m using all the education he taught me,” he added. “We will miss him. But he will be here forever.”

“This one hurts baad,” A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip tweeted. “Damn I’m gonna miss u.”

In a statement via Markie’s rep late Friday, his family said, “Biz created a legacy of artistry that will forever be celebrated by his industry peers and his beloved fans whose lives he was able to touch through music, spanning over 35 years.” Read more tributes below:
