She may be down, but she's not out! After posting a somewhat cryptic update about her current status last night, Britney Spears posted another clip to Instagram today, showing the world how she relieves her stress ... through exercise!
Spears is wearing an itsy bitsy yellow sports bra and yoga pants for a garage workout, presumably with her boyfriend Sam Asghari recording the session. Brit captioned the video, "Who knew stress would be a great 5 pound weight loss. Yay for me 😉😉"
Meanwhile, new court documents reveal the pop star's conservatorship is set to be discussed in an LA courtroom May 10 -- just over a month after Spears checked into a mental health facility to seek treatment. While status hearings on the more than decade-old conservatorship is a normal course of business, this particular hearing could be more important than previous hearings. With Brit's father Jamie suffering from a serious health issue and with Britney back in psychological treatment again -- and following the family's long-time lawyer Andrew Wallet's resignation as co-conservator -- a judge could assign another co-conservator to take the reigns, should something happen to Jamie.
We hope Brit keeps giving us updates in the meanwhile ... and we hope she's feeling happy and healthy again soon!

Ouch! The usually-acerbic Morgan Stewart, co-host of E!'s Nightly Pop, did the unthinkable the other night -- she criticized Justin Bieber!!!
The Rich Kids of Beverly Hills alum critiqued Bieber's comeback performance at Coachella, accusing him of lip syncing and of having acne! Horrors!
As the show's panel discussed the previous weekend's music festival, Stewart started by saying "... the poor music started without him," when talking about Justin's performance of his hit single "Sorry." Sorry, NOT sorry! Morgan went on to critique: "I did not realize it was gonna be that bad ... He definitely looks like he put an OXY pad on that forehead, but I don’t care. That is f–ked up!"
Well Justin's not taking the negativity -- and rather than defend any of her direct criticisms, he took to Twitter in defense of being positive and not breaking people down. He wrote, "Imagine if you spent even half the time you spend laughing at other peoples expense actually building people up and encouraging people how much positivity you could bring. What hurts about this is the fact that you have a platform to make a difference and rather than being positive you belittle people."
He went on ... "Think about how awesome it felt for me to be on that stage after being away for so long the excitement and joy it gave me doing the thing i love the most. I sang to [a] backtrack like most cameos do this is a normal thing, and rather than try and make people feel accepted and loved you find things to pick apart like the world isn’t full of that already."
His stage partner Ariana Grande also took to social media to defend Biebs, writing, "People look so ugly when they talk about other people like this, it’s crazy. like no matter how pretty you are or how long u spent getting ready, u ugly to me now. HOW do people watch s—t like this lmao." She went on to explain, "We also decided to do this ten minutes before my set started. we had 0 soundcheck, 0 rehearsal,†Grande noted. “U were singing with the back tracking like most cameos do. people are bored. people don’t know how it feels to be under such scrutiny. the world was happy to have u on stage again." Hailey Baldwin re-Tweeted Grande's message.
He's right! But at the same time, so is she! She gets ratings based on being funny and we all like to have a good laugh. If every single thing out of a show host's mouth is congratulatory, wouldn't it be kinda boring? Is there room for "mean" humor? Or are we past that in this age of hyper-political correctness?
Kylie Jenner posted a stunning selfie yesterday wearing a fringed cream-colored dress, whipping her hair back and forth in her driveway, as she is wont to do. She captioned it: "good hair = good day."
Clearly this isn't HER hair -- but she never said it was! The Lip Kit mogul got SUPER long extensions, it appears and fans are going crazy for it. Meanwhile, what WE'RE going crazy for is Ky's car collection! Check out what we spotted in the driveway of her Calabasas mansion yesterday!

This is EXACTLY why Jennifer Garner graces the cover of People magazine's The Beautiful Issue this month!
We spotted the mother-of-three after morning drop-off at school -- coffee in hand, wet hair, no makeup, jeans and a sweater -- and she looks AMAZING! And it's not just about her looks, of course ... it's the fact she was THERE, taking her kids to school even though she's a big Hollywood superstar, the fact she's doing it with wet hair, knowing the paparazzi will be there, the fact she's on time, she's present, she's smiling. We love everything about this woman!
Hear it in her own words as Jen tells People what she's learned, being in the industry and being a mom and being in her 40s. She's one smart cookie!

Selena Gomez looked cozy in her oversized sweater as she used the large cardigan to hide behind as she arrived to and departed a friend's house, on Tuesday night.
Selena arrived with two friends and her bodyguard, stayed for a few hours and left around 11pm, hiding from our cameras. Why, Selena?! We love with she flashes her smile -- too bad she wasn't in the mood last night.
But beyond beauty, Selena's got a lovely mind -- and a mind of her own! The singer/actress was the first guest on Coach's Dream It Real podcast yesterday and when asked what she thinks most people don't know about her, she said this: "I think that a lot of people don't understand my heart, you know? And I also don't like that, it can be sometimes about appearance too. I don't really appreciate people judging me on my looks, or anything like that." She further explained ... "I just think that the world today, with so much exposure to everything...it's great to dress up and to feel beautiful and to do those things, but...and I'm flattered when, maybe, guys are like, 'You're pretty.' I am, it's just not...I would just love someone to love me for the person that I am."
Gomez also spoke about taking time off last year: "Last year, I took a lot of time off. I think that I needed a moment to myself because I do feel like I was growing and changing."
And when asked what she's looking forward to this year? Here's what she said: "I'm looking forward to my album and I'm looking forward to spending time alone. I think I'm finally, finally, finally at the age where I love being alone." Alone, but not lonely!

Avengers hype is SO big, the entire film's cast was invited to immortalize their handprints at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, on Tuesday and Robert Downey, Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, and Chris Evans were on "hand" for the event!
I mean, isn't it weird to think that 20 years ago, RDJ was being arrested on drug charges again and again and now he's the star of the biggest superhero franchise the world has seen?! Talk about a comeback!
Anyway -- fans went wild for the star-studded cast during the iconic handprint ceremony. And we bet they'll ALL see Avengers: Endgame this week, if they haven't already -- and maybe multiple times. The film is predicted to rake in $260M its first week, which would break box office records, making it the opening weekend EVER -- second only to Avengers: Infinity War! Wow -- just wow!
"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!
