The day before the celebrity line-up was officially revealed, Jamie Lynn Spears revealed that she was going to be performing in the upcoming season of “Dancing With The Stars.” However, she said that she would be donating her salary due to the SAG-AFTRA actor’s strike and the WGA writer’s strike.
“Decided to lace up my dancing shoes for a good reason,” Jamie Lynn wrote in the caption of her Instagram post. “I was offered an opportunity that is completely out of the ordinary of something I would normally ever do, but it’s during a time where my community #SAG & #WGA are on strike & all of us members are unable to work until we have reached a fair resolution, so if I’m able to use this unique opportunity to bring more awareness and to donate the salary I get for dancing each week back to the community who has given me so much, then it’s the least I can do.”
“I could not ask for a better partner then @alanbersten to guide me through this adventure,” she continued. “I’m not gonna lie, I’m scared, but I’m just gonna have fun and hopefully be able to give back in a meaningful way until we can ALL GET BACK TO OUR DAY JOBS.” She ended her post with the hashtags #SAGAFTRASTRONG, #WGA, and #SAG.
Britney Spears Is Doing Some Dancing Of Her Own On Instagram
On Tuesday, the “Toxic” singer went viral for a video that she posted on Instagram on Monday night. In the video, she is dancing barefoot in her living room while wearing a crop top and white bottoms. She is wielding two large knives in her hand, although she assured her followers in the caption that they were fake.
“I started playing in the kitchen with knives today 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️ !!! Don’t worry they are NOT real knives !!! Halloween is soon 🙈🙈🙈 !!!” she wrote in the caption.
However, on Tuesday afternoon, she followed it up with another dancing video. Fans who swipe to the second slide of her Instagram post will see that she has a bandage on her arm, a cut on her leg, and what looks to be a red bruise on her hip.
“My ‘Pretty Woman’ top … kinda cool after my briefing on polka dots 😉😉🙄🙄🙈🙈🤓🤓 !!!! Swipe to see both !!!” she wrote in the caption. She also followed it up with another dancing video and a long caption.
In this caption, she wrote:
