Hollywood is a town that's revered for its drama — both on and off camera. Almost since the inception of Tinsel Town, there have been actors, actresses, and various other celebrities going at each other's throats.
Sometimes it's warranted, and other times it comes completely out of left field. While we're on that subject, I figured it's best that I go ahead and explain all the drama that's going on between Millie Bobby Brown and Britney Spears.
There have been celebrity feuds for as long as there have been celebrities. Usually, these are born from a sense of competition or a heated rivalry between two like competitors.
Dwayne and Vin epitomize the term "alpha male," and each has their own way of doing things. It was almost inevitable that these two would clash while filming F8: The Fate of the Furious.
What began with a spat about backup dancers eventually ended with Katy sending Taylor a literal olive branch to signify a truce.
I'm talking about the recent spat that's been going on between Stranger Things breakout star, Millie Bobby Brown, and "The Princess of Pop" — Britney Spears.
During the recently-minted show segment called "Drewber" (a spin on Uber), Barrymore began asking the young star a series of questions surrounding her latest film, Enola Holmes 2.
"I want to play a real person," Millie responded, "and I think for me, Britney would be — Britney Spears."
"Just growing up in the public eye; watching her videos, watching interviews of her when she was younger. I mean, the same thing with you, it's like — I see the scramble for words."
At face value, it seemed as if Millie was paying Britney a pretty high compliment. Unfortunately, Britney didn't take it that way.
"Although it’s pretty [expletive] clear they preferred me dead," she said. The "they" in question appears to be in reference to Britney's family and her recent conservatorship trial.
After all, it's Britney's story. If she doesn't want it told while she's still living, it's completely within her right to make that opinion known.
Nowhere is it written that a biopic can only be made once a person has passed. In fact, some of the best biopics have actually been made about living people.
The story of Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, was released while the social media leviathan was still in its infancy, and wound up being nominated for "Best Picture" at the Oscars.
I, Tonya told the true story of disgraced Olympic figure skater, Tanya Harding, and her misguided decision to hire a hitman in order to assault her fellow competitor, Nancy Kerrigan.
The film also received four additional Oscar nominations, including "Best Director," "Best Writing," Best Supporting Actor," and "Best Picture."
Hopefully, with a little time and coaxing, Britney will come around. Hers is certainly a story worth telling and Millie could very well be the perfect actress to do just that.
