Britney Spears poured her heart out in an emotional post on mental health while sharing a recent conversation about ‘complaining’ with a friend. Taking to Instagram, the Toxic hit-maker shared a passage by a Seattle-based artist on how “you are worth so much more than what you can do in a day.” The 40-year-old singer then shared her own thoughts on being a “dark reader” revealing that she does not want to be one who question themselves too much. Britney wrote, “When I was drowning not one person lended a hand... they let me drown in that place and I believe that with all my heart... so NO I don't want to be the dark reader who questions myself too much.” “I need to swim up for air... find land... and scream till the end of time!!! But then it's that damn voice of doubt...” she shared. “The fall comes slowly something you honestly have met with denial for a long time or wait... was that a denial at all. Or was it your true innocence hanging onto the upper world of magic???” … [Read more...] about Britney Spears pours her heart out in emotional note on mental health

Danish police: Terror not suspected as mall shooting motive
Danish police on Monday said a gunman who opened fire in a Copenhagen shopping mall — killing three people — most likely selected his victims at random and acted alone. Officials said the 22-year-old suspect was known to mental health services and said they did not suspect a terror motive. What are the police saying? Chief inspector Soren Thomassen said the shooter had fired indiscriminately into the crowd. "There are no indications in the investigation, documents or witness statements that could point to this being about terrorism," he said. Thomassen said he was not prepared to discuss what the alleged shooter's motives might have been. "Our suspect is also known among psychiatric services, beyond that I do not wish to comment," he said. Police believe videos of the suspect that circulated on social media on Sunday evening are authentic.

Amanda Holden is wrong – wolf whistling should be banned in our sexist society
A harmless compliment or sexual harassment? Wolf whistling divides opinion and Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden knows which side of the fence she's on. "I still want to get wolf whistles in my 70s and I don’t care how sexist that is," the 51-year-old star told a women's mag this week. "I want a builder to give me a little 'oi, oi' when I walk past. I want to be tooted at by men or women when I’m walking the dog!" But from whistles to comments to beeps of a car horn these gestures, mostly aimed at women, are no laughing matter in our misogynistic society. Two thirds of girls have received unwanted attention in public says Our Streets Now, the youth-led organisation which is campaigning for cultural and legislative change. A third of girls experience verbal harassment at least once a month. Wolf whistle ( Image: Getty) I believe catcalling of any kind contributes to women and girls not feeling safe on our streets.
