"All is well," Britney told the world yesterday in a Twitter video message following lots of weird speculation about where she is and what's going on after reportedly being in a mental health facility to seek treatment for the stress of dealing with her father's illness.
Spears captioned the clip with this:
"I wanted to say hi, because things that are being said have just gotten out of control!!! Wow!!! There’s rumors, death threats to my family and my team, and just so many things crazy things being said. I am trying to take a moment for myself, but everything that’s happening is just making it harder for me. Don’t believe everything you read and hear. These fake emails everywhere were crafted by Sam Lutfi years ago... I did not write them. He was pretending to be me and communicating with my team with a fake email address. My situation is unique, but I promise I’m doing what’s best at this moment 🌸🌸🌸 You may not know this about me, but I am strong, and stand up for what I want! Your love and dedication is amazing, but what I need right now is a little bit of privacy to deal with all the hard things that life is throwing my way. If you could do that, I would be forever grateful. Love you â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸"
She told fans in the video message: "Hi guys, just checking in with all of you who are concerned about me,†the pop star, 37, said in the Instagram clip, which she posted on Tuesday, April 23. “All is well. My family has been going through a lot of stress and anxiety lately, so I just needed time to deal. But don’t worry: I’ll be back very soon."
One conspiracy theory about Brit's whereabouts was that she was being held against her will by Sam Lutfi, her former manager and BFF. Apparently old emails started circulating -- emailed Lutfi had written in the first place, pretending Britney had penned them -- and fans twisted that into a theory that Brit was being held captive by a bad guy!
Meanwhile, Spears boyfriend Sam Asghari told TMZ, on Monday: "She’s doing amazing. Her fans are amazing to be so concerned, but she’s doing great. … Nobody needs to worry. She’s doing amazing. She’ll be back soon."
We hope so!
Meanwhile, we spotted a cleaning crew at Brit's Beverly Hills mansion, on Tuesday, prepping for the singer's return home ...

Jamie Lynn Spears is coming to her sister Britney's defense after online trolls criticized the Queen of Pop's mental health. Seriously?!
Never underestimate how nasty social media commenters can be. Jamie Lynn wasn't having it anymore so she lashed out early Tuesday morning and told the world this ...
"10 years ago, who was there?? I have been here long before anyone else, and I’ll be here long after. I love my sister with everything I have. So, anyone or anything that speaks to the contrary can GTFOH with all the comments about what you don’t understand.Do not come for me or the ones I love anymore. You can move the “blank†outta here with all that, just like this other lady who was running her mouth.👋ðŸ»"
You go, girl!
Britney was photographed out at the Montage Resort in Beverly Hills on Easter, taking leave from the mental health treatment she's been receiving following a stressful time as her father Jamie battles a serious colon issue. Spears was with boyfriend Sam Asghari at the hotel and she looked a little worse for wear -- not her usual lively self. Haters took that opportunity to remind the world of Brit's infamous meltdown in 2007 and Jamie Lynn took THAT opportunity to remind the world that she'll ALWAYS be there for her sister and that trolls need to STEP OFF!

Kylie Jenner and "hubby" Travis Scott are like a full-on married couple! The young, rich, and famous pair were tooling around town in Ky's toasted marshmallow G-Wagon on Monday after having enjoyed a romantic day-date lunch together. Of course Mr. and Mrs. Webster spent the entire Easter weekend together as well -- hitting Coachella for Kanye's Sunday Service and enjoying a family celebration at mom Kris Jenner's luxury desert estate.
The parents watched daughter Stormi experience her first Easter holiday with her cousins as they put on some PDA during the family gathering. Travis has been posting plenty of Kylie pix on his Insta recently -- well, since rumors swirled he was macking on other girls in his DMs. He's proving himself loyal! At least on social media!

Selena Gomez is back to her old self, heading to her place of peace -- Hillsong Church -- on Easter Sunday.
The singer wore her hair parted, with her bangs in curls framing her face; a loose sweater (did she forget her bra?), jeans and $1000 Gucci kitten-heel mules.
Gomez was with a pal as she attended the service and hugged a male friend as she entered. Perhaps she knew her ex Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey Baldwin wouldn't be there -- that he'd be taking the stage with Ariana Grande at Coachella during weekend two.
So back to Selena's attire ... kinda funny -- she wore Levi's and guess who was just named the first face of the legacy denim brand ... Hailey, of course! Hmm ...

He's baaaaack! Justin Bieber made a surprise appearance at Coachella Sunday, as pal Ariana Grande's guest and fans went WILD!
Justin's taken an extended two-year break from performing and has been busy getting married to Hailey Baldwin and taking care of personal issues ... like his mental health. He posted recently that he's working on new music, but that touring most of his young life, he needed a break from the hectic routine to focus on himself.
So yesterday was a positive move for the pop star -- getting back to music and performing likely signals he's feeling stronger and ready to get back to his career. Of course Ariana is an old friend -- she opened for him on his 2013 tour and they share the same manager, Scooter Braun.
The show didn't go off without a hitch, however, there were technical difficulties that made it difficult to hear Bieber over the loud backing track. But the show DID go on and Justin told fans, "I haven’t been on stage in, like, two years. I came out here, [and] I had no idea I was going to be on this stage tonight -- absolutely no idea. I wore this fly outfit not knowing that I was going to be on stage. I had to get my groove back, I had to get my swag back, you know what I’m saying? So, thank you so much, Coachella. Thank you so much, Ariana Grande. We love you so much, man. Thank you so much.â€
Then he closed by telling fans, “By the way, album coming soon." Yaaaaasssss!

The Kardashians hit the desert for weekend 2! Kanye West hosted his Sunday Service at Coachella and the whole clan stayed at momma Kris' Palm Springs vacation home to celebrate Easter with the kids.
Of course every aspect of the celebration was Instagramable -- from the monogrammed Easter baskets, to the matching silk pastel slip dresses for the ladies lounging in the desert sun.
Baby True sat on the floor next to a basket that appeared to be attached to a tricycle ... is she even old enough for that?! While Nori gave mom Kim a sweet kiss in a beautiful mother-daughter snap. Khloe, Mason, and Kourtney posted together; and Kylie got into the game with sis Khlo.
All-in-all, it was your typical, over-the-top holiday for America's first family of reality -- we wouldn't expect any less!
Step OFF, haters! Hailey Baldwin defended her right to "enjoy the little things in life" despite having a ton of money because of hubby Justin Bieber ... and she's right!
The model posted to her Instagram story about enjoying eating lunch outside in the sun and being grateful for the small pleasures. Some commenter immediately criticized her, saying she and Justin are richer than God and basically implied it's disingenuous to say you enjoy small things when you're super rich. One user wrote: "My husband is worth 265 million but it’s the little things that make me happy ha ha ha."
Well ... 1) they're wrong and 2) she straightened them out! Hailey replied by saying, "Money doesn’t = happiness. At all. You can be the wealthiest person in the planet and be miserable. Not fair to judge people’s circumstances from the outside.. am I not allowed to be grateful to sit in the sunshine and enjoy my day like a regular person?"
This direct response to a misguided troll comes just a day after Hailey professed her love for Justin in a sweet Instagram message (below) reading, "My love,. “you are an incredible man, you make me a better human being, you make me happier than I’ve ever been. Insanely proud of who you are and who you’re becoming. I love you more every single day." Awwww!
