Britney Spears checks into a mental health clinic; 'Captain Marvel' makes history
Hollywood Nation: Popstar Britney Spears is reportedly struggling to cope with her father's declining health; Brie Larson's 'Captain Marvel' becomes the first female-led superhero film to make $1 billion at the global box office.
Britney Spears has a conspiracy theory: That paparazzi are trying to make her look less fit.
Spears, 37, was spotted on a jet ski with boyfriend Sam Asghari in Miami. Photos from the agency MEGA captured Spears during her beach vacation, and she apparently felt the shots were less than flattering.
In a video the "Toxic" singer posted to her Instagram Stories on Sunday, Spears, wearing a pink bikini top similar to the ones in the photos, said, “A lot of fans, in our world today, they always are subject to really criticize people and say that the pictures and videos that they’re posting are either not on time or they’re fake. But no one ever really asks, ‘Are the paparazzi pictures fake, and do the paparazzi people do stuff to the pictures, and is the news really real?’ It’s a conspiracy theory that I’m actually interested in.”

MEGA responded to Spears' allegations in a statement to Page Six.
