Hollywood Nation: Popstar Britney Spears is reportedly struggling to cope with her father's declining health; Brie Larson's 'Captain Marvel' becomes the first female-led superhero film to make $1 billion at the global box office.
Britney Spears' father, Jamie Spears, won't face charges for his alleged physical altercation with her 13-year-old son, Sean Preston Federline, the Ventura County District Attorney announced.
