Justin Timberlake mocked for using a 'Black accent' in Britney Spears book extract
Justin Timberlake mocked for using a 'Black accent' in Britney Spears book extract
Britney Spears' memoir The Woman in Me, has a lot to say about ex Justin Timberlake. The audiobook is narrated by actress Michelle Williams, and one section of the book had readers laughing. Spears recounts how when she and Timberlake were dating, they ran into the rapper Genuine whilst the pair were walking down the street in New York City. Timberlake said "Oh yeah, fo' shiz fo' shiz. Ginuwine, what's up, homie?" Timberlake apparently felt no shame then, but hearing Williams' impression made readers almost grateful for the recounting. Many listeners joked that Williams should receive an "Oscar" for her narration: Another called it "art": Whilst another listener said "nothing can you prepare you for these 15 seconds": Spears recalls that NSYNC, which Timberlake was a part of, would sometimes try "too hard to fit in" with hip-hop artists. In the book, Spears also revealed that she had an abortion after Timberlake "wasn't ready" to be a father.

Everton edge Crystal Palace in five-goal thriller
Everton edge Crystal Palace in five-goal thriller
Everton beat Crystal Palace 3-2 at Selhurst Park as Idrissa Gueye’s goal four minutes from time capped a superb away performance from Sean Dyche’s team. Palace twice came from behind, with Eberechi Eze’s penalty quickly cancelling out Vitalii Mykolenko’s early opener and Odsonne Edouard capitalising on a howler from James Tarkowski to level up after Abdoulaye Doucoure’s goal. But they had no answer a third time after Gueye kept his cool to seal victory and propel his side to consecutive away wins. It all came after an electric start. Palace failed to clear their lines as Mykolenko’s shot was blocked, and as the ball broke wide on the right the Ukrainian found space inside the box and climbed highest to nod Jack Harrison’s cross past Sam Johnstone after just 55 seconds. Palace fans may have been stunned but their team quickly hit back. Within three minutes they were level, and it was Eze, back in the side after a hamstring injury, who danced into Everton’s box and drew a foul from Jarrad Branthwaite. VAR checked and saw no reason to overturn referee Sam Barrott’s penalty award, leaving the Eze the task of calmly rolling the ball past Jordan Pickford. Selhurst Park howled for a second spot-kick when Eze again went down under apparent pressure inside the box. This time the referee deemed the forward had dived, and rather than a penalty, a yellow card was Eze’s reward. Edouard forced Pickford into a save low to his right in added time at the end of the half in what was a rare instance of attacking threat from the home team. Everton had won three of their previous six in the league, and after the frustration of failing to hold on to their early lead they began the second half in similarly urgent fashion. A corner from the visitors’ right was cleared only to the edge of the box, where Amadou Onana scooped the ball square to Mykolenko. For the second time in the game he was given too much time to line up an effort on goal, and as his volley cannoned back off a post there was Doucoure unmarked to tap home. The advantage looked fragile. On the hour mark, Mykolenko and Gueye almost produced a comical own-goal, getting in one another’s way as Jeffrey Schlupp’s cross dropped into the box and they required Pickford’s fingertips to keep them from bundling the ball over their own goal line. Edouard was growing as a threat and with 25 minutes to go he handed Jefferson Lerma a golden chance to level, coming inside from the left of the box and cutting the ball back, only for Lerma, free on the edge of the box, to fire wide. Michael Oliseh came off the bench for his first appearance of the season and drew a roar of anticipation from around Selhurst Park with a shot from 20 yards that deflected narrowly over. Palace were by now dominant, and their second equaliser came courtesy of a defensive calamity. A high, headed ball into the box looked an easy mop-up job for Tarkowski, but rather than nod it clear he left the ball for his goalkeeper, and in stole Edouard to tap home. Still Palace could not hold on to their point, and Everton roared back at them once more with four minutes to go, this time decisively. Doucoure received the ball in midfield and looked up to see Gueye racing through the centre. Doucoure’s pass was weighted expertly and Gueye needed barely to break stride as he evaded Tyrick Mitchell’s lunging challenge and guided it beyond Johnstone.

Australians are bombarding Big Ben with negative reviews after Women's World Cup loss
Australians are bombarding Big Ben with negative reviews after Women's World Cup loss
Australia fans who are upset at the team being defeated by England in the semi-final game at the Women's World Cup have been flooding Big Ben with negative reviews. The Matildas lost 3-1 to the Lionesses in what was an exciting semi-final match at Stadium Australia in Sydney, with Ella Toone, Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo scoring to secure a place for England in the final where they will face Spain on Sunday (August 20). Following the match, Aussie media outlets described the defeat as a "Heartbreakerr" and a second headline read: "It hurts... but we're so proud," while fans online slammed England's physical tactics and others even criticised the Matildas performance. Among the array of emotions and reactions, some Australian supporters decided to express their anger and upset via the Google review section on the popular English landmark, Big Ben. One-star reviews began to emerge as Aussies left petty comments such as: "If I wanted to see a clock, I’d just look at me wrist." "Was soooo dirty, just like the English played against the Matildas.” “Pretty tall building … almost as high as that kick to Sam Kerr’s face," and "could use a bit of a clean up, like the English soccer team," News.com.au reported although Google look to have removed them at the time of writing. While England fans responded by posting equally petty five-star reviews on Big Ben's page while also having a dig at their rivals Down Under. "Smells much better than the stench of defeat in Australia," one reviewer said, while another added: "Have been to Australia, not good. Big Ben, however, best day of my life.” Despite Aussie and England fans being at loggerheads online, there are still two matches of the tournament yet to be played. England is up against Spain in the Women's World Cup final on Sunday (August 20) where the Lionesses will be hoping to be the first senior England team since 1966 to win a World Cup final. Meanwhile, Australia faces Sweden in the third-place match tomorrow (August 19). Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
