Britney Spears Called “Disgusting, Drug User” By Ex-Staffer

Claiming to have endured disgusting working conditions, a former employee of Britney Spears has alleged that the singer did drugs, didn’t shower for days and sexually harassed him, among other things while acting as his boss.

The pop icon’s former bodyguard, Fernando Flores, who worked for the 29-year-old from February to July of 2010, is currently embroiled in a $10 million lawsuit against Britney’s conservators, citing “repeated, unwanted sexual advances and harassment,” according to RadarOnline and Star magazine.

The court docs also claim that Spears enjoyed a strong cocktail of illegal prescription and non-prescription drugs, “Based on his former experience as a police officer, Plaintiff (Flores) is informed and believes and alleged thereon that Defendant Spears was often under the influence of illegal prescription and non-prescription drugs, such as Ritalin, Narcon (Naloxone) and methamphetamines,” the report reads.

Furthering his complaints, Flores says the chart topper exhibited some rather lewd behavior, as the filing states, “She broke wind or picked her nose unselfconsciously and unapologetically before Plaintiff (Flores) and others and she was constantly and gratuitously loud and profane in her speech,” adding, “She did not bathe for days on end, did not use deodorant, did not brush her teeth, did not fix her hair, did not wear shoes or socks.”

Miss Spears’ legal team has fired back against the allegations – as they have filed a motion to strike the accusations and calling the claims completely false.

LeAnn Rimes’ Trainer Defends Her Physique

It’s no secret that LeAnn Rimes has been the target of eating disorder rumors, but the “Can’t Fight the Moonlight” songstress’ trainer Michael Jackson has come to her defense.

Rimes lamented, “People are calling me bulimic or anorexic. These are real issues and diseases- that I don’t have.”

Jackson explained to FOX 411, “I know it really bothers her. A lot of people see pictures of LeAnn and assume certain things. But we’re in the process of putting a video together that she’ll post to her blog so that people will see what it is that we’re doing to get her in shape.”

He continued, “It’ll probably go live sometime next month—we haven’t set an exact date. I know she’s really anxious to show people—excuse my French—that she takes her s**t seriously.”

“With LeAnn, the one thing I do is boxing—it’s all about boxing. We use hand mitts and boxing gloves. For a typical workout, we warm up with about five to 10 minutes of jump rope. Then, we’ll get going with some light, dynamic stretching. But LeAnn usually likes to start boxing first. When she comes into the gym, she’s usually just gotten off a plane and she needs to work some stuff out, so we’ll do some boxing, using traditional boxing techniques. We’ll also work on the core, legs and hips. We do arms more than anything. I know a lot of people think boxing is just punching, but proper technique involves working out the quads, butt, back and core—things a lot of women like to work on.”

“After boxing, we’ll do some strength training, which consists of a core workout. We’ll have our days where we’ll do core, we’ll have our days where we’ll do legs and upper body. That’ll consist of lunges, lunges with weights and squats. For core work, we’ll use a cable machine. Then, we’ll end with some stretches. It’s not anything light.”

As for LeAnn’s diet, Michael shared, “Every week, I give her a meal plan. We’re always back and forth on Twitter—if she can’t get to her computer, she’ll email or text message me—I make it as convenient as possible.”

“She eats a lot of lean meats—fish, chicken—maybe on occasion, lean turkey. A lot of vegetables—broccoli, carrots and asparagus. And I try to have LeAnn eat some fruit like oranges or apples before 3 o’clock. The reason for that is because fruits contain a lot of sugar, and sugar metabolizes into carbs, so I try to have her eat that before she really gets active. Fruits are a good source energy—much better than energy drinks.”

Kendrick Lamar’s “HiiiPOWER” Music Video

He’s generated all kinds of buzz in the hip hop community, and now Kendrick Lamar is dropping his new video for “HiiiPOWER.”

In the clip, the Top Dawg Entertainment rapper includes strong messages and striking images of legendary African American icons.

Lamar shared in a recent interview how it feels to be labeled one of the pioneers of the new west coast sound.

“It’s been humble man…It’s a lot of respect people calling me that. It’s also a big shoe to fill when you look at people like Tupac, Snoop, Dre. That’s a legacy I gotta withhold. I can’t let them down or [else] that’ll be weak on me. Not just me, but my whole city. What I stand for.”

He continued, “I been listening to Dre, N.W.A. since I was two. My pops put me on it. In Compton, he was telling me this the music you need to listen to because this is your lifestyle so f**k with it. And I did 100 percent. So when I get in the studio with him [Dr. Dre] that’s all I can think about. All I can think about is old memories of my pops playing this dude to me. And actually being right there to sit with him and coach my vocals and be a part of Detox is amazing.”

Of her influences on the new record, Beyonce confessed the list is long, distinguished and somewhat eclectic.

“I listened to a lot of Jackson 5 and New Edition, but also Adele, Florence and the Machine, and Prince. Add in my hip-hop influences, and you can hear how broad it is. I also gave myself more freedom to really belt out some songs and bring soul singing back. I used a lot of the brassiness and grittiness in my voice that people hear in my live performances but not necessarily on my records.”
