Britney Spears flashed back to her iconic “I’m a Slave 4 U” performance while offering an update on her state of mind following her DUI plea deal. “Went to the pet store with my kids and look at what a beautiful baby snake this is,” Spears, 44, wrote alongside an Instagram photo of her handling a snake on Saturday, May 89. “Snakes are symbolic of good health, higher consciousness, and pure luck…” The baby snake had similar coloring to the 7-foot, yellow albino Burmese python that Spears draped around her neck during her legendary 2001 MTV Video Music Awards performance.…

PHOENIX — Bo Bichette’s numbers are lagging, perhaps along with his luck. The Mets infielder, still searching for his first real hot streak, entered Saturday with a disappointing .570 OPS, but his underlying numbers suggest he should be faring better. Bichette began play with a .231 batting average, but according to Statcast, his expected batting average was .283, placing him in MLB’s 83rd percentile. Bichette had two hard-hit balls in Friday’s victory over the Diamondbacks, including one to the right field fence that resulted in an out. In Saturday’s 2-1 loss, he added another hard-hit ball: a 100 mph shot…

Jennifer Fessler’s 27th wedding anniversary tribute to her husband, Jeffrey Fessler, has resurfaced amid the rumors about her involvement with Summer House star West Wilson. “Happy 27,” Jenn, 57, wrote to her husband via Instagram on April 10. “You could sleep with West or Amanda and I’d still stay!” At that time, the Bravoverse had been rocked by the revelation that West was in a relationship with Summer House costar Amanda Batula, following her recent separation from Kyle Cooke. Jenn also offered supportive words for West during an appearance on former Real Housewives of Miami star Ana Quincoces Rodriguez’s “Reality…

MILWAUKEE — The Brewers trotted out their young flamethrower Friday night, and the Yankees could not touch him. Cam Schlittler turned the tables a night later and was just as unhittable as Jacob Misiorowski. The only thing that really touched Schlittler was a 108.5 mph comebacker that smoked his left calf in the bottom of the first inning, but after it looked like he might have to come out of the game, he remained in it to deliver six shutout innings before the Yankees wasted it in a 4-3, 10-inning loss to the Brewers. “Not really concerned,” said Schlittler, who…

DEAR ABBY: While I love visiting my son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren, I’m uncomfortable because their home is so untidy. I have offered many times to help with the laundry, dishes, picking up toys and even cleaning. They always say no. They say it’s their home and I’m not there to do chores.  They know I enjoy cleaning and organizing and that it gives me a sense of calmness. I try to look past the clutter, dirty dishes and food particles left on the floor, and to enjoy spending time and playing with my grandchildren. But it’s getting harder to block…

Royal author Andrew Lownie defended his decision to share an allegation that Sarah Ferguson had a “friends with benefits” relationship with disgraced mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. “I stand by it,” Lownie, 64, told London’s The Times on Saturday, May 9. “It’s fully sourced with former employees of P Diddy and Sarah Ferguson.” Lownie made the allegation about Ferguson and Diddy’s alleged sexual relationship in the expanded edition of his book Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, the 2025 tell-all that kicked off a new round of controversy over Ferguson and her ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s connections to…

PHILADELPHIA — Karl-Anthony Towns knows what Nick Nurse is going through. He has dealt with personal loss, and he understands how difficult it is to balance grief with the job. “I really wanted to give my condolences to him, I haven’t been able to talk to him personally, but I know it’s really tough,” Towns said unprompted Saturday. “I don’t know what he’s going through [exactly], but in a similar fashion I know how it is to have to show up to work and to have a lot of pressure on you to do something special when you’re kind of…

Country music star LeAnn Rimes is sharing her go-to home remedies for two health issues amid the controversy surrounding her viral jaw release video. “No, after being on antibiotics, I’m trying to heal thrush in my throat and acid reflux… dear lord help me,” Rimes, 43, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Friday, May 9, over a photo of the singer holding a clear drink on ice. “Sunshine, grounding [and] coconut water & aloe vera juice with fresh rosemary from our yard,” she added, outlining the ingredients in her drink helping her treat her illnesses. Rimes has been in the…

CHICAGO — The Nets don’t have the face of their franchise. Lottery luck Sunday in Chicago (3 p.m. on ESPN) could change that. Brooklyn hasn’t drafted a homegrown All-Star in over a decade, dating back to Brook Lopez. But in a generational class with a trio of projected franchise-changers, the Nets go into Sunday’s lottery tied for the best odds of winning the No. 1 pick (14.0 percent) and of landing a coveted top 3 pick (40.15 percent). BYU wing AJ Dybantsa, Kansas guard Darryn Peterson and Duke big Cam Boozer are all viewed as face-of-the-franchise stars, with North Carolina’s…
