Does Britney Spears actually sing in 'Carpool Karaoke'?

Britney Spears Carpool Karaoke
Pop megastar Britney Spears is the latest to sit in the passenger seat for another edition of James Corden’s Carpool Karaoke. And yes, she does actually sing.

Admittedly, while there’s more of Corden singing than there is of Spears, the notorious lip-syncer did quietly sing along to a few of her biggest hits, from … Baby One More Time, to Oops! … I Did it Again, Womanizer, and Toxic. Love her or hate her, we’ll bet you know almost every word to every song, and will find it hard not to at least hum along as you watch.

Already with more than half a million views since the video was posted late yesterday, the pop star and talk show host discuss everything from popular aliases Spears uses when checking in to hotels — while she prefers names like Anita Dick, Corden suggests something a bit bolder, like Britney Bitch — to her kids and how they feel about mom gyrating on stage in her underwear. Spears is well into her four-year residency in Las Vegas, where she performs her show Britney: Piece of Me at The AXIS in Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.

Looking past the fact that Corden does most of the singing, that Spears even flubs the lyrics to one of her own songs, and yes, she did actually say “supposably,” the segment is thoroughly entertaining. Spears does her best to show off her dance moves while seated, and Corden even brings back those signature pigtails and schoolgirl outfit from the music video that first made the artist famous.

Spears has sold more than 100 million records throughout her career, and is one of few female artists to have a number-one single and number-one studio album in three different decades. She was just able to edge into that category, having released her first album, … Baby One More Time, in 1999.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.
The Skin I Live In (2011)

As we head toward the end of June, it's worth reflecting on how we want to spend the rest of summer. For some, that's going to mean enjoying nice weather or getting some time in at the beach. For others, it might mean escaping from the heat, at least for a while, to check out a great movie.

The best Netflix original series right now
Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
