While kevin fraser is bringing it from new york city. Hi there, kev. Hey, nancy. Britney spears life is pretty good right now, her new album drops tomorrow. Shes returning to the vmas this weekend, but then this bombshell dropped. Lifetime is making an unauthorized movie about her life and its clear britbrit is not happy about it. Lifetime announced the new britney movie and praised the pop princess calling her a timeless source in entertainment. Oh, but britney isnt having it her rep tells us quote, Britney Spears will not be contributing in any way to the lifetime biopic, nor does it have her blessing. Production gets under way next month in vancouver and the movie will air next year on lifetime. So, whos playing britney . Well the part is going to a relatively unknown australian actress, her name is Natasha Bassett and she had a small part in George Clooneys recent film hail caesar. Take a few pictures, have a few laughs. Britneys lifetime biopic isnt the first to spark controversy. Whitney houstons family objected to lifetimes movie about her. And so did relatives of the singer, aliya in 2014. As for britney well, lets just say lifetime has plenty of material. This 34yearold has been through a lot. Im really overwhelmed right now. E. T. Has been there for all of it. She dated justin timberlake. Has been married twice to dancer Kevin Federline and for 55 hours to childhood friend jason alexander. I wanted to do something wild and crazy. And i wanted to get married. So thats why i did it. Britney was the tabloid target. Shes now moved on to her successful vegas residency and her happiest role proud, loving mom. My main thing is to enjoy life. And take one day at a time and i try to live by that and its kind of cool. As mentioned, britney will have a big day sunday on the vmas and its a big deal because every time she has hit that stage shes made headlines. From the yellow python to the kiss with madonna, britney is vma history. This sunday shell take the stage here at Madison Square garden where preps are under way. We bet shell open the show. But could brit be upstaged by this b . Multiple sources have told thaus queen b is not only attending, shes performing. Beyonce is up for a record 11 awards, including video of the year for formation but its possible we could see her do an epic tribute to one of her idol s prince. As for what else to look for, weve done the work work work, in this vma cheat sheet. First up, vanguard award winner, rihanna. We did change up the vanguard moment this year to make it more of a narrative throughout the show. Translation rihannas going to perform, a lot. Were hearing four times and you know what that means . Lots of different fashions. This dangerous woman will also hit the stage, in a duet with nicki minaj. Who else will be there . Olympic sweethearts the final five and kanye west, along with kim, shes a presenter. You can see the couple is sitting in the front row, a few seats away from britney and rihanna. We do expect kanye in the house. Taylor, i dont know. We got to see. Im going to guess we wont see taylor swift. Shes not nominated. But her ex, Calvin Harris is, someone else who is going to be a noshow. Nominee adele. Adele, shes doing the biggest world tour of the moment in arenas. Vocal rest is critical for somebody like adele. And heres something you may not know about best new artist nominee, lucas graham ladies, the singers got a sweet danish accent. Its just very, very strange and hard to understand that were even here. Well another music superstar that were going to be missing this weekend, jennifer lopez, because she didnt get nominated. I dont think shes too worried about that. Shes got two vmas at home already. Does she still have her man, casper smart at home . Heres j. Lo beaming in new york, just a day after its rumored that she and her man of five years have split. We showed you j. Lo on saturday, dancing at the hamptons, but where was bo casper . In vegas at a usc match. Smart posted an instagram criticizing social media. Saying quote im going to focus on personal connections. Over a typeandtext existence. When asked about the reported split. A source close to the couple told e. T. The rumor is so stupid. Now johnny depp versus his ex, round two. Apparently amber heards 7 million divorce settlement, the one she wanted donated to two different charities, isnt settled. Today reps told us johnny made the first of multiple installments to each charity that didnt sit well with ambers team, who fired back insisting he donate quote, 14 million to charity. Which accounting for his tax deduction, is equal to his 7 million payment obligation to amber we reached out to johnnys reps, but didnt hear back by our deadline. Now are tom and taylor on the rocks . Its reported trouble in their twomonth relationship. Swift went out for drinks and pizza in new york with another man, hold on, thats her friend, youtube star and dancer, he cedric hall. She saw me on youtube. Has completely taken me under her wings. Where is the other half of hiddleswift . Still in australia filming with chris hemsworth. Tom reportedly visited taylor two weeks ago, but they havent been snapped together in 27 days.

Jackie chan, matt damon, tom cruise and johnny depp. Last years top earner, Robert Downey junior fell to the number eight spot with 33 million. Tom hanks didnt make that list but hes doing okay.

Because i had the white hair i was Walking Around town. I got an awful lot of sully screamed at me. Way to go, miracle man. Miracle on the hudson man, sully i got that everywhere i went. Number two its got bigtime award season potential. Today we begin with our investigation on the crash of u. S. Airways flight 1549. Hanks is joined by aaron eckhart. And laura linney. Not to mention director clint eastwood. . It was a good omen in a bad period. Its heaven being on his set. And number three, its captain sully approved. I was very gratified, it was in such good hands and so many people were working so hard to get it right. The real sullys autobiography and he worked closely with the writers, cass and eastwood to make sure every detail of the story was authentic. This is the captain brace for impact. I cannot wait to see sully. Tom has a big finish to 2016. Sully is out september 9th and then hes back with inferno. Still to come, at home with the tatums.
