Cody Rigsby and Cheryl Burke performed the first virtual routine in “Dancing with the Stars” history Monday night after they tested positive for breakthrough cases of Covid-19, but the couple is hoping to be back in the ballroom next week to put on a real show for the two-night Disney Night affair.
“As long as we’re cleared and all the higher powers say that we can be in the ballroom, we’re gonna be in the ballroom,” Rigsby told “Access Hollywood.”
Rigsby and Burke will be done with their 10-day quarantines by the Oct. 11 show. Both have missed the past two tapings after Burke tested positive last Sunday, forcing judges to critique rehearsal footage of their salsa last Monday. Rigsby sat out that broadcast due to his close contact with Burke and announced his positive test on Thursday.
On Monday’s Britney Night, they performed a jazz routine virtually from their respective homes.

JoJo Siwa is reflecting on her own path as a child star while paying tribute to the trail that Britney Spears once blazed. On Monday, Oct. 4, Dancing With the Stars celebrated "Britney Night," during which every contestant performed to a different Britney song. The special night coincides with the 39-year-old pop star's fans having recently rallied behind the so-called #FreeBritney movement in hopes of seeing her freed from her conservatorship that dates back to 2008. "I love Britney," JoJo told the camera during a pre-recorded segment. "Britney is a legend. An icon. A ball of talent and glitter and energy. She is a genius.

It was only a few days ago that audiences were last given a new documentary about Britney Spears, thanks to the continuation of the New York Times Presents series coverage of the pop star’s fraught situation. “Confronting Britney Spears” felt hastily put together in order to cut off this other feature, Netflix’s year-long expose of the pop star’s life, “Britney vs Spears.” Directed by Erin Lee Carr, whose previous work has included the “At the Heart of Gold,” about the USA Gymnastics sex assault scandal, “Britney vs Spears” attempts to remind of us of who Spears was before the conservatorship that kept her confined, and how our own desire to consume her ended up doing just as much damage.
Audiences who are expecting a shocking, lurid expose about Spears’ trauma won’t find one here. At 93 minutes, “Britney vs Spears” takes its time in getting to where we are today,...

Red Arrow Studios International has picked up international rights to “Controlling Britney Spears,” the follow-up documentary to “Framing Britney Spears,” produced by The New York Times and Red Arrow Studios’ Left/Right.
The documentary was inspired by a confidential report obtained by The New York Times in which Spears told a court investigator that her conservatorship had devolved into “an oppressive and controlling tool against her.” The new documentary reveals previously un-published details about the Times’ investigation which uncovered an extensive surveillance network created to monitor her every move. “Controlling Britney Spears” premiered last week on FX and Hulu in the U.S. It is directed by Samantha Stark, with Liz Day as supervising producer and reporter.
“We are delighted to be distributing this fascinating follow-up to one of the most talked about television events of the year, which sold widely across every continent,” said Red Arrow president and managing director Tim Gerhartz.

Netflix on Wednesday released the official trailer for Britney Vs. Spears, a documentary that aims to pull back the curtain on Britney Spears‘ public fight to free herself from an extremely controversial conservatorship.
For the uninitiated, Spears’ father Jamie became the sole conservator of her estate in 2008, giving him say over some of her most important life decisions, from financial transactions to medical care. Spears, now 39 years old, has been publicly advocating to have herself released in the hopes of ending what she calls an “abusive” conservatorship. “I don’t think I can live a full life,” she told a judge in June.

In the days since Britney Spears's heartbreaking conservatorship court hearing on June 23, numerous celebrities have voiced their support for the #FreeBritney movement. On July 4, Miley Cyrus took the stage at the Resorts World casino in Las Vegas and demonstrated her solidarity with Spears by switching up the words to one of her biggest hits, "Party in the USA." "That's when the taxi man turned on the radio. He turned to me and said, 'Free Britney!'" Cyrus chanted into the microphone, starting up a rallying cry from the crowd of concertgoers. "We love Jay-Z, but we got to free this b*tch! It's stressing me the f*ck out!"
The performance came less than a week after Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny denied Spears's request to have her father, Jamie Spears, removed as her co-conservator. While brief, Cyrus's shout-out to Spears is not her first.

“The New York Times Presents: Framing Britney Spears” was initially conceived as an “‘O.J.: Made in America’ but for Britney Spears,” taking a deep dive into the invasive and inappropriate media coverage the pop star endured throughout the 2000s, but that quickly changed, according to director Samantha Stark. “As we were reporting and researching for the film, the conservatorship really came out as a huge storyline,” Stark shares at Gold Derby’s Meet the Experts: Documentary panel (watch above).
Spears has been under a conservatorship, overseen by her father Jamie Spears, since 2008 following her very public breakdown, preventing her from making any personal, business or financial decisions on her own. Since 2019, the conservatorship has been under intense scrutiny, sparking the fan-made #FreeBritney movement, which calls for an end to the legal arrangement.

After the success of the documentary “Framing Britney Spears” and the continued interest in the #FreeBritney movement, another documentary is in the works about Britney Spears’ conservatorship, this time for BBC Two.
BAFTA-winning journalist Mobeen Azhar is behind the film, which he began filming in the fall of 2020 in an attempt to understand the full story behind why Spears is under conservatorship, the legal agreement in the U.S. that can place an adult under the legal guardianship of another. In this case, Britney has been under the supervision of her father and has not had control of the decisions around her finances or her career since 2008.
Azhar’s film for BBC Two includes him visiting Spears’ hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana as well as attending a court hearing in the ongoing legal battle over her conservatorship. He also speaks to activists involved in the #FreeBritney movement and what Spears means to them.

Britney Spears’ conservatorship battle and Netflix “Tiger King” sensation Joe Exotic are the subjects of two contrasting documentaries commissioned by U.K. broadcaster BBC Two.
In “Britney” (working title), BAFTA-winning journalist Mobeen Azhar seeks to uncover the truth behind the conservatorship that pop icon Britney Spears has been held under for the last 13 years. A #FreeBritney movement that aims to free the musician from her father Jamie Spears’ conservatorship has been gathering support, and was recently the focus of FX documentary “Framing Britney Spears.”
Azhar said: “I went to LA in search of the truth of how Britney Spears, one of the biggest pop stars on the planet, ended up in a conservatorship.

After James Corden spent his Saturday sick at home, he devoted an entire Late Late Show segment to watching "absolute masterclass" film Britney Ever After. The Lifetime original movie based on Britney Spears' early life and career also portrayed the pop star's romance with *Nsync's Justin Timberlake.
The Lifetime movie portrays Spears as scatterbrained, smiley and addicted to cheeseballs. Equally entertaining is the portrayal of boy band *Nsync, who serenade the singer in "Happy Birthday" in one clip. Corden was particularly amused by the Timberlake character's bizarre lingo. "You...
