Somebody's worried ... Lori Loughlin is now open to making a plea deal with prosecutors in the "Varsity Blues" college admissions lawsuit that finds the Full House star accused of buying her daughters' way into USC through a college counselor who got the girls recruited for the rowing team, even though they'd never done crew in their lives.

Loughlin and hubby Mossimo Giannulli paid a reported HALF MILLION DOLLARS to counselor Rick Singer in exchange for Olivia Jade and Bella's admission to the University of Southern California. When the scandal broke and the couple were outed for their wrongdoings, Loughlin maintained her innocence and rejected a plea deal, but now she's changing her tune.

Lori "has asked her lawyer to negotiate a plea deal that would involve no jail time, but home confinement with monitoring via ankle monitor,” a source tells Us Weekly. “She’s willing to pay a substantial fine, over $2 million."

The insider says that unfortunately it's too little, too late -- that any plea deal would now include jail time. The source goes on to say Giannulli doesn't want any plea deal and expects to be "fully exonerated."

Meanwhile, a source tells People magazine that Aunt Becky's feeling remorseful, yet still innocent: "Lori is remorseful, and she has definite regrets. She’s embarrassed and hurt, and she knows that her reputation has been ruined for life. But she also believes the allegations against her aren’t true. She honestly didn’t think what she was doing was any different than donating money for a library or athletic field. That’s the crux of why she pleaded not guilty."

Fellow "Blues" scandal perpetrator Felicity Huffman is scheduled to be sentenced in her case on Sept. 13.

My brave girl Chicago 🐍

A post shared by Kim Kardashian West (@kimkardashian) on Aug 21, 2019 at 6:45am PDT

Chicago West's not scared! Kim Kardashian's "brave girl" wore a SNAKE around her neck during a recent family trip to the Bahamas and she looked that thing dead in the eyes and didn't flinch!

This is the same trip where Chicago enjoyed Cheetos with her cuz True and during which Khloe showed off her fab bikini bod. Lifestyles of a the rich and famous, y'all!

Hailey Baldwin says YES to the wedding dress and she's putting in a ton of work before the big day to make sure it fits!

Oh, who are we kidding -- Hailey can't even afford to lose weight, people -- she's slender and toned and a perfectly healthy physique ... but that takes work! And if a new report claiming she and hubby Justin Bieber have set a wedding date for next month is true, the Hailey's putting in plenty of work to make sure her bod's on point when she walks down the aisle.

Tuesday Hailey was at Aura Yoga on the Sunset Strip -- a favorite workout of hers -- and Monday she was at the same studio with fellow supermodel Kendall Jenner. So for all y'all who think models are just naturally skinny and don't have to work at it -- WRONG! Okay, partially wrong -- they're naturally skinny, but they still have to work to stay in shape! And check out their looks! No makeup, sweaty, glowing, beautiful. We're jealous of their genes, for sure!

Doesn't Kylie look demure?! An unusually conservative-looking Kylie Jenner loaded up the Rolls and headed to Nobu Malibu for dinner with her new bestie Sofia Richie who just happens to be Scott Disick's young girlfriend. Scott brought the kiddies along, as did Kylie! We had a rare Stormi Webster sighting -- though Ky wasn't carrying her little girl, a nanny had that job.

Kylie wore her dark locks in a top-knot, her ears loaded with diamonds and drip. Sofia stunned in black leather pants and a tight black cropped ribbed top, carrying a Christian Dior bag -- her hair also pulled back. Scott gave daughter Penelope a ride on her shoulders as the gang left following an early dinner. What a cute group!

Trouble in paradise? Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin appeared to be getting into just before a gym session on Monday, and Justin even took some of his stress out on the paps, yelling at them for privacy as he had a SERIOUS "discussion" with his wife.

Is it wedding planning that's elevating the tension? The pair are said to have decided on September as their wedding month, according to TMZ sources -- but just not the exact day. But seriously, if the wedding's potentially less than 5 weeks away, how could they not have nailed down a date?!

Whatever it is, the two were getting heated -- and it's not the first time we've seen them this way recently.

Earlier in the afternoon they visited the dermatologist together -- the go literally every few weeks ... for what? Botox? Laser treatment? Hailey took the lead and Justin lagged behind, both with coffees in hand. Hailey was still in her yoga gear from a morning workout with pal Kendall Jenner while Justin wore a preppy-cool layered polo shirt, New Balance sneakers and a cap.

Question is ... will these two walk down the aisle next month?!

Chi: I heard my mama say “vacation calories don’t count” True: Don’t tell me twice Chi

A post shared by Khloé (@khloekardashian) on Aug 19, 2019 at 9:21am PDT

So cute! But cue the mom-shamers! These pix of baby cousins Chicago West and True Thompson indulging in Cheetos and Veggie Straws is gonna piss some people off!

Khloe posted a boat-load of snaps of the two little tykes on vacation -- first enjoying seemingly benign PLASTIC cups of water with PLASTIC STRAWS!!! (The mom-shamers forgot about this!) And as you scroll through, the photos get more and more controversial ... I mean who feeds their kids junk food like this! (Answer: most people.)

And while we're at it, let's point out to the mom-shamers True's jewelry -- you could complain it's too flashy; you could say it's uncomfortable and unnecessary for a 12-month old baby to wear bracelets and earrings; and of course you can argue a year-old babe needn't go through the pain of having holes poked in her ears! But we'll leave ALLLL that (and a bag a chips!) the the mom-shamers!

Miley said it's what made her marry Liam, but was it actually the beginning of the end?

Liam Hemsworth saved the couple's dogs, horses, cats, and pigs from the Woosley Fire in Malibu last November, but there was nothing he could do to save Miley's home. Miley told Vanity Fair of the disaster: "What Liam and I went through together changed us. I'm not sure without losing Malibu, we would've been ready to take this step or ever even gotten married, who can say? But the timing felt right and I go with my heart."

But did they both know the difficulty that would come following the fire, in trying to put their lives back together and find meaning in a relationship that was built on refuge after disaster? A few days after -- as the ashes, very literally, were settling, Liam posted a photo of the remains of the house and captioned it, "It’s been a heartbreaking few days. This is what’s left of my house. Love. Many people in Malibu and surrounding areas in California have lost their homes also and my heart goes out to everyone who was affected by these fires."

After ten years of dating off-and-on, the couple wed in a low-key ceremony in December at the Cyrus family home in Nashville, Tenn. with just family and a few friends present. Ironically, it may have been the fire that pushed them to marry and yet the push they didn't need ...

Why hide, Kendall?!

We get that Kenny's a big supermodel ... but so is Hailey Baldwin and SHE doesn't hide when the paparazzi take pictures! Maybe Kendall's got a big zit on her nose? Or maybe she just doesn't feel like posing unless she's getting paid ... either way, it makes for some funny snaps for us!

Apparently Kendall was NOT in the mood and she and Hails left Pilates class Monday morning. What we could see on Kendall was her $250 Chaos iPhone case and her $720 Stella McCartney 2001 black hoodie. Less-expensive are her $24 Havaianas flip flops and her $60 Adidas Triple-Stripe leggings.

Hailey, meanwhile, wore her favorite Commes des Garcons x Nike Shox TL sneakers which retailed for $330 but are already going for as much as $400 on StockX. Her Alo leggings retail for $98 and her Alexander Wang Halo bag for a cool $1250. Her Chanel sunglasses cost $450. So add it all up and these ladies are rocking more than $3000 worth of clothing just to go to workout class!!!
