Music star reveals she's on the autism spectrum and finally feels 'seen,' more news

Autism annoucement

Sia has revealed that she’s on the autism spectrum. The “Chandelier” singer made the declaration while appearing on “Rob Has a Podcast” with “Survivor” Season 44 finalist Carolyn Wiger. “I’m on the spectrum, and I’m in recovery and whatever — there’s a lot of things,” she said. “For 45 years, I was like … ‘I’ve got to go put my human suit on.’ And only in the last two years have I become fully, fully myself.” Sia didn’t detail when she was diagnosed, but the implication was that it was recently. While speaking of embracing herself, Sia continued, “Nobody can ever know and love you when you’re filled with secrets and … living in shame, and when we finally sit in a room full of strangers and tell them our deepest, darkest, most shameful secrets, and everybody laughs along with us, and we don’t feel like pieces of trash for the first time in our lives, and we feel seen for the first time in our lives for who we actually are, and then we can start going out into the world and just operating as humans and human beings with hearts and not pretending to be anything.” The revelation comes two years after Sia’s film “Music” drew backlash for its portrayal of people with autism.

‘Bozo’ fans

Billie Eilish is coming out swinging against fans critical of her evolving fashion. Over the weekend, the Grammy winner shared several since-delated posts where she ripped haters. “I spent the first 5 years of my career getting absolutely OBLITERATED by you fools for being boy ish and dressing how I did & constantly being told I’d be hotter if I acted like a woman,” she wrote on her Instagram Story. “And now when I feel comfortable enough to wear anything remotely feminine or fitting, I CHANGED and am a sellout.. and ‘what happened to her’ oMg iT’s nOt thE sAmE biLlie she’s just like the rest bla blah.” She called the critics “true idiots” and “f****** bozos.” When Billie erupted on the scene, she was known for wearing oversized clothing, but those days are changing, as she’s been seen embracing more glamorous fashion. In a follow up post, she said, “FUN FACT! Did you know that women are multifaceted!!!!!??? Shocking right?? Believe it or not women can be interested in multiple things.” Still fuming, she added, “Also the femininity does not equal weakness???!!!! omg?! insane right. who knew. and also totally unheard of and insane to want to express yourself differently at different times.”

Scary situation

Reporting has emerged regarding a terrifying attempted break-in at the home of Benedict Cumberbatch. The Daily Mail said the Marvel star and his family were home when a 35-year-old chef named Jack Bissell broke onto the $3.5 million North London property. “I know you’ve moved here, I hope it burns down,” Jack reportedly shouted while tearing out one of the home’s plants and throwing it against the garden wall. He also spit on Cumberbatch family intercom before ripping it off the building. Jack soon left while a terrified Benedict and his family stayed inside. Police tracked down the chef shortly after and found his DNA on the intercom. On May 10, the crook pleaded guilty to the break-in attempt and was given a fine and a three-year restraining order from the Cumberbatch family. It’s not publicly known when the incident actually occurred.

Court cometh?

Britney Spears might be headed to court again, but this time she’ll be battling her ex-husband. The pop star’s ex hubby, Kevin Federline, has recently said he plans to move to Hawaii this summer and wants to take their children, Sean Preston, 17 and Jayden James, 16, with him. To push this through, Kevin just needs Britney to sign off on the relocation, which he thinks should be a formality. However, Kevin’s lawyer told TMZ that he’s sent the letter to Britney’s lawyer several times and has gotten no response. If Kevin’s team continues to get the silent treatment, his lawyer will file legal documents asking for a move-away order. Kevin’s team argues that this shouldn’t be much of an issue, as he has 100% legal custody of the kids. Plus, he has 100% de facto physical custody, as Britney has not seen the boys in more than a year. 

No romance, just parenting

Despite rampant online speculation, Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson are not back together in a romantic sense. TMZ reported that the duo ware co-parenting their two young children incredibly well. The former couple is often seen together but the fact is that Tristan bought a home near Khloe’s, which was music to her ears. “It’s important to Khloe that the kids get to spend as much time with Tristan as possible,” TMZ said. “The two are in a great spot as friends.” 

Ankle issue

Fans are going to have to wait to see Johnny Depp. The actor has been forced to cancel a series of shows with his band, The Hollywood Vampires, due to a fractured ankle. “My dear friends, I am sorry to say that I have fractured my ankle, which is a drag!!! It began as a hairline break but somewhere between Cannes and the Royal Albert Hall it got worse rather than better,” he wrote on Instagram. “Several medical professionals have strongly suggested I avoid any and all activity for the moment and so am sadly unable to travel at this time.” Of the band, he said, “The guys and I are very sorry to miss you in New Hampshire, Boston and New York.” Johnny promised the band would make up the dates this summer.
