So it's safe to say 2019 has been, quite possibly, the most confusing year in Britney Spears' history.

At the beginning of the year, Britney abruptly canceled her new Las Vegas residency and checked into a mental health treatment center. You can read the entire saga here.
In March, the #FreeBritney movement was started by a group of fans concerned about her conservatorship.

Since then, while under the conservatorship, Britney has gone on multiple world tours, released multiple #1 singles, re-invented the Las Vegas residency, made one of the best albums of her career (stream "Glory"), been a judge on a national TV show, reinvented Instagram, and raised her two (now almost teenage!) boys.

In 2016, the New York Times wrote about about Britney's conservatorship:
nytimes.com
This is what Times says Britney's conservatorship entails:
According to the arrangement, which is typically used to protect the old, the mentally disabled or the extremely ill, Ms. Spears cannot make key decisions, personal or financial, without the approval of her conservators: her father, Jamie Spears, and a lawyer, Andrew M. Wallet.
They monitor even her smallest expenses, like Starbucks:
Her most mundane purchases, from a drink at Starbucks to a song on iTunes, are tracked in court documents as part of the plan to safeguard the great fortune she has earned but does not ultimately control.
It should also be noted that Andrew Wallet, 1/2 of the conservatorship, suddenly resigned from the conservatorship in March, so now her father is the only one in charge.

Harrowing images show officers carrying Australian DJ's body out of luxury resort where he tragically died
The musician, whose real name is Adam Neat, was trying to help a friend who suffered multiple fractures when it is believed he died from massive bleeding after injuring himself.
Tragic photos show officers inspecting the villa where the DJ was found dead after reportedly crashing through the glass window at the Hillstone Villa in Kuta.
Bloodstains on cement and broken glass can be seen as officers carry the body covered in a white sheet out of the resort.
Indonesian police said they are still investigating the death of the 42-year-old performer.
An initial police report seen by The Associated Press said Neat suffered a deep and wide cut to his arm that caused massive bleeding.
Local police chief Dody Monza said the body was found lying near a bathroom in his bedroom by two housekeepers at Hillstone Villa where the DJ stayed in Bali, a few minutes after they heard a woman scream for help.
Police said 22-year-old Russian woman, Zoia Lukiantceva, described as a friend of Neat’s was found naked beside the villa with a broken leg, while blood-stained glass fragments were found in Neat’s room.

Santa Fe fishing guide, recent college grad died in Russian plane fire
SANTA FE – Jeremy Brooks of Santa Fe, a fly-fishing expert and recent college graduate who had just landed a dream job, was among the 41 people killed when a Russian airliner caught fire on Sunday.
Brooks, 22, was on his way to serve as fishing guide for Atlantic salmon in northwest Russia, according to Ivan Valdez, owner of the The Reel Life fishing shop in Santa Fe.
Valdez said he hired Brooks as a guide for his shop as soon as the then-teen got a driver’s license.
“He never had a mean bone in his body,” said Valdez, whose voice cracked as he described Brooks as more of a son than an employee. “He had it all to offer the world. I never heard a bad complaint against him.”
Brooks graduated from Santa Fe Prep. Marco Rossetti, who went to Prep with Brooks, also struggled to talk about the passing of his friend.
“Every single trip, just about, growing up, we’d be putting in before sunrise ‘til well after sunset, sometimes through the night,” he said.
“Aside from the point of fishing, because that’s not all he was, he was the best person. He was there and had any friend’s back better than anybody.”
I have more respect for him than any other person on this planet,” said Rossetti. “And now he’s not on this planet.”
Valdez said Brooks had just graduated from Colorado College in Colorado Springs.
This developing story will be updated.

France Telecom ex-bosses go on trial over suicide wave
The former chief executive of France Telecom and other ex-bosses went on trial Monday facing unprecedented charges of moral harassment that allegedly prompted 35 employees to take their own lives a decade ago.
The wave of suicides, which shocked France at the time, took place from 2008 to 2009 and raised questions about the workplace culture at the former state telecom giant.
