I don’t like my hair when it’s washed – it’s too fine and lifeless – but Coca-Cola makes it look disheveled, like I’m done would have gone to the Amazon or something.”

In 1999, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake became a well-known couple. At the time, Spears, just 19 years old, was under considerable pressure to maintain a seductive yet innocent public image. This became particularly difficult when every television and radio interviewer asked whether she and Timberlake were sexually active. On the issue of virginity, Spears explained that it is a personal decision. She wanted to wait until she found the right person and got married.

Jonny Greenwood

Renowned musician and composer Jonny Greenwood revealed that in the early days of his time with Radiohead, he secretly turned off his keyboard and simulated during rehearsals. “Thom’s band [Yorke] had a keyboard player who I don’t think they got along with because he played his keyboard so loudly. When I got the chance to play with them, the first thing I did was make sure my keyboard was turned off,” he admitted. “They made quite a racket, quite a racket. I pretended to play for weeks and Thom said, ‘I can’t quite hear what you’re doing, but I think you add a really interesting texture because I notice when you’re not playing,'” he said . “And I’m like, ‘No, you can’t because I really don’t play. And then I went home in the evening and thought about how to actually play chords, and over the next few months I carefully started cranking up the keyboard. And that’s how I started with Radiohead.”
