For most people taking part in James Corden’s Carpool Karaoke would be actual life goals.  But for Britney Spears it seems the experience wasn’t quite the dream we’d expect it to be.

While recounting her time in the car with James for an American radio station on Friday, the Toxic singer said that cruising around Los Angeles with the British entertainer – whose name she appeared to have forgotten – was “so awkward”.

The 34-year-old told KTU 103.5FM: “It was a little awkward, like, driving by grocery stores…People walk by and there are like 18 cameras around us.  This is just so awkward.”

 

 

So many more things on the way… #Glory is coming soon. Pre-order now!

According to Entertainment Tonight, Britney also described how The Late Late Show host “controlled the whole thing” before jokingly discussing how sick she was of hearing Baby One More Time and Oops!…I Did It Again on repeat.

But overall the mother of two did enjoy her time with James.  She said:  “It was really fun…The guy was just so incredibly sweet.”

“I had no idea he has kids, he's a teddy bear.  I was like, ‘I just want to hug you right now’.”

Britney received a fair bit of criticism online after the segment aired on Thursday as Twitter users suggested she had mimed the lyrics to her own songs.

One person tweeted the star saying: “Britney you knew this was a carpool karaoke right?  And not carpool snapchat lipsync?”

While another said: “Goes to Carpool Karaoke.  Concept is to sing along your own songs.  LIPSYNCS ANYWAY.  The one & only Britney Spears.”

Whether it felt awkward at the time or not, it sure looked like the celebrity pair were having fun reliving Britney’s glory days dressed in those famous grey and white school uniforms.

Look, we're as big a fan of Carpool Karaoke as the next person… unless that person is willing to kidnap James Corden in order to recreate the segment, that is.

And then we're officially out.

The Late Late Show's super-popular music segment has gained a global following, and it looks like some people will do anything – even break the law – for their 15 minutes with the king of the carpool.

Speaking to The Wrap, the 37-year-old British star explained that while at home in London, he was accosted by a group of teenagers who forced him to take part in their own British version of the segment.

"I was crossing the street in London a few weeks ago and there were these four kids," he explained. "They were like 18, 19. They sort of forced me to get in the car."

Having clearly ignored everything he was taught about stranger danger as a child, James went with it, and ended up having an impromptu Carpool Karaoke session with a group of randomers.

"They all had their camera phones out and we were just singing along to the radio. I was like, 'Am I being kidnapped?" he recalled.

Not exactly James, but not far off.

If you – like millions others – divide your week between watching re-runs of Carpool Karaoke and waiting for the next instalment, you'll be PUMPED to learn that a standalone series of the uber popular Late Late Show segment is on the way!

According to NME, producers of The Late Late Show have partnered up with Apple Music, and will soon be treating the public to 16 episodes of Carpool Karaoke – with one expected to debut in the not too distant future!

Commenting on the news, Late Late Show producer, Ben Winston, said: "We couldn't be more excited to be partnering with Apple Music on this exciting new series of Carpool Karaoke."

"The joy of Carpool is both the intimacy it creates, while seeing the love our passengers have for music," he added. "Where better to showcase that than with Apple Music?"

"We love music, and Carpool Karaoke celebrates it in a fun and unique way that is a hit with audiences of all age," said Eddie Cue of Apple.

With 16 new instalments of the show set to stream weekly, Eddie added: "It's a perfect fit for Apple Music – bringing subscribers exclusive access to their favourite artists and celebrities who come along for the ride."

Unfortunately for James Corden fans, the much-loved British star will not be taking the wheel in this series, with a new host yet to be announced.

When The Late Late Show teased viewers with a sneak peek of this week's Carpool Karaoke, we all knew we were in for a serious treat, but NOTHING could have prepared us for the wonder that was the White House edition.

Maybe it's because she hadn't rode shotgun in over seven years, but the First Lady of the United States really brought her A-game when it came to cruising with Corden.

From Sign, Sealed, Delivered to Single Ladies, Michelle Obama did not hold back, and we are fan-girling all over ourselves here at SHEmazing! HQ this morning.

Oh, and just when we thought it couldn't get any better, Missy Elliott rocked up…

Lauded as one of the best Carpool Karaokes so far, the Red Hot Chili Peppers' appearance on on The Late Late Show's popular music segment has had EVERYONE talking this week.

But while most of us were fascinated by what was going on INSIDE the car, we had no idea that James and the four lads had been caught up in one truly terrifying moment during the filming.

Speaking to Chris Moyles on Radio X, the Under the Bridge singer revealed that it hadn't all been fun and the games during the segment's taping.

"We danced off, we tied and then we were going to celebrate with some Mexican food on the corner," Anthony told the British broadcaster. "And a woman came out of her house, holding a child saying ‘My baby, my baby, my baby can’t breathe!’"

"We all ran across the street, the woman thrust the baby into my arms, the baby was not breathing and I thought ‘I’m gonna try and do a little baby CPR real quick, see if I can get some air in this kid," Anthony explained.

After unsuccessfully trying to open the child's mouth, Anthony tried another method, saying: "I started rubbing the belly, bubbles came out of the mouth, the eyes rolled back into place."

Finishing the jaw-dropping story in classic laidback Kiedis style, Anthony simply said: "The ambulance showed up and I handed the baby over, who was now breathing and fine, and we went back to Carpool Karaoke."

Hats off to that man.

There’s nothing we love more than getting some juicy behind-the-scenes goss from our favourite chatshow hosts.

Who was the biggest diva? Who had the biggest rider? You know, the classics.

So, when James Corden sounded like he was about to spill about a Carpool Karaoke guest recently, we held our breaths and wondered if we’d be right in thinking Mariah Carey lived up to her legendary rep.

And ladies, we WERE right.

According to The Late Late Show host, the One Sweet Day singer rocked up on the big day and announced that she just wasn’t feeling the music section of the segment, and suggested that herself and James just shoot the breeze instead.

Understandably stunned, James told Howard Stern that he had to just run with it anyway, saying: “I just thought ‘I’ve just got to go. I’ve just got to jump into it’.”

“Even if this bit is just me singing to Mariah Carey, it’s still on the show,” he reasoned.

Have a listen to this!

Carpool Karaoke is something we just can't get enough of at the moment. It gives us our favourite celebs rocking out to their own tunes, with a little bit of gossip on the side. Sure, what more could you want?!

And James Corden's next Carpool Karaoke segment is going to see a slightly fuller car because there's going to be TWO passengers riding along. 

Last night the Late Late Show host announced on Twitter that his next passengers are going to be Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas. YAAAY!

SURPRISE! #CarpoolKaraoke with @nickjonas and @ddlovato coming your way soon!

The pair are about to start their Future Now Tour this coming summer so it kinda makes sense that they're going to be rocking out with James at the same time.

According to the photos that The Late Late Show has released so far, it looks like the trio spent quite a bit of time outside the car for their karaoke session, AND even spent some time playing music for spare change!

We're really looking forward to this one now!

Jennifer Lopez was in the hot seat last night for James Corden's Carpool Karaoke and we certainly got more than we bargained for.

While the presenter was scrolling through her contacts – which included Chris Brown, Bradley Cooper and Cristiano Ronaldo – he came across Leonardo DiCaprio's number and exclaimed: "I'm going to text Leo!"

He proceeded to text: "Hey baby, I'm kind of feeling like I need to cut loose, any suggestions? Let me know." And then James brilliantly signed off the message: "J.Lo (you know, from the block)."

After showing the camera Jen's phone to prove the text was legit, Leo replied and said: "You mean tonight Boo Boo, club wise?"

James, clearly excited, declared: "You're going to the club with DiCaprio!"

We're sure Jen had a bit of explaining to do after the show was over, but one thing's for sure, it gave us a good laugh.

James Corden has many hilarious segments on his late night TV show, but it has to be said that the best thing to come from it is Carpool Karaoke.

And it's so good, TV execs want to make it into its own show.

The feature where James picks up various artists and sings/chats with them about daily life is being pitched to a number of networks and online subscription sites.

And it's not like they're going to be turned down as Justin Bieber, Mariah Carey, Adele and One Direction have featured on the segment, to name a few.

 

The Hollywood Reporter claims that an abundance of networks are starting a bidding war over it, however, it's looking like James won't actually host the show himself. But we still think it'll be one to park your bum in front of the TV for.

He's had One Direction, Justin Bieber and Mariah Carey in the car and now he is taking the queen of pop for a spin. 

Yep, James Cordon and Adele star in another epic episode of Carpool Karaoke and this combination is obviously pure comedy gold.

In perhaps the most popular television segment since Jimmy Kimmel's Celebrities Read Mean Tweets, this fourteen minutes of the Late Late Show with James Cordon is pure entertainment. 

And they actually do a pretty amazing version of Hello. 

Watch the HILARIOUS video below:

Show us a person who can stay silent while Rolling In The Deep is blaring out of their car radio, and we'll show you… a very strong-willed person.

There is no better feeling than singing your little heart out in the car when no-one (or probably everyone) can hear you.

And if you're going to do it, you might as well do it properly with a Grammy winner next to you in the passenger seat, as James Corden proves.

Adele appears on the US Late Late Show's brilliant Carpool Karaoke this Wednesday, and James showed a sneak peek of his time in the car with her on the show last night.

The preview's just over a minute long, and we're already dying to see the rest.

Just WAIT 'til you see Adele giving it socks to the chorus of both Hello and Rolling In The Deep… all while balancing a mug of tea on her lap.

Could we love her any more?

Models of the moment (but not quite top models) Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid have started their own version of James Corden's Carpool Karaoke on Snapchat… and we think they need a spot on the show.

Ever the entertainers, Kendall and Gigi sang one of the best songs of ALL time, the Lion King's Can You Feel the Love Tonight.
