Remember when we got pix of Brit's sister Jamie Lynn and dad Jamie at the Netflix offices a month ago? Well now we finally know what they were doing there ... signing on the dotted line for Jamie Lynn's first acting gig since Zoey 101!

The 28-year-old will appear in the new Netflix series Sweet Magnolias, based on the Sherryl Woods book series, playing Noreen Fitzgibbons, a young nurse who has moved to small town Serenity, South Carolina, determined to build a new life for herself after a series of bad choices. The show also features Chris Klein, Justin Bruening, Monica Potter, Brooke Elliott and Heather Headley.

Of course we all remember Spears' run on the Nickelodeon hit Zoey 101 ended in 2008 when the then-17-year-old became pregnant with her boyfriend Casey Aldridge. She's been raising her family since then, having welcomed a second child, with husband Jamie Watson last April. So she'll finally be back to getting a paycheck ... and maybe even moving to LA!

Will Britney offer her sister a room in her Calabasas mansion? Doubtful, because Britney's busy trying on outfits and making Insta-videos of her wardrobe changes! Check out her latest post below ...

This sh*t cray! Taylor Swift is taking public online shaming to a new level with her recent "outing" of entertainment manager Scooter Braun allegedly buying her music catalog out from under her. Problem is, there seems to be a fair amount of evidence she chose not to buy it and keep it for herself ... so why's she complaining?!

Perennial crybaby TSwiz wrote the above scathing message to Braun and to the world, accusing him of buying -- without her knowledge -- her Big Machine record label that includes all of her masters for the past 13 years of her career. But her dad is a majority owner of the label so he knew the deal was going down ... did he not bother to tell his own daughter her life's work was potentially going to be transferred to a dude she hates?!

And hates is a strong word, but Swiz also alleges Braun has "bullied" her for years and made her cry countless times. Well buck up, b*tch! That's business! And actually, it seems like maybe he hasn't bullied you, but you took it that way because you're looking for the worst in people ... could it be? Well Braun's prodigy Justin Bieber entered the fray with the below apology/explanation, saying Braun was never involved in any bullying but that he and Kanye were guilty and remorseful.

Hey Taylor. First of all i would like to apologize for posting that hurtful instagram post, at the time i thought it was funny but looking back it was distasteful and insensitive.. I have to be honest though it was my caption and post that I screenshoted of scooter and Kanye that said “taylor swift what up” he didnt have anything to do with it and it wasnt even a part of the conversation in all actuality he was the person who told me not to joke like that.. Scooter has had your back since the days you graciously let me open up for you.! As the years have passed we haven’t crossed paths and gotten to communicate our differences, hurts or frustrations. So for you to take it to social media and get people to hate on scooter isn’t fair. What were you trying to accomplish by posting that blog? seems to me like it was to get sympathy u also knew that in posting that your fans would go and bully scooter. Anyway, One thing i know is both scooter and i love you. I feel like the only way to resolve conflict is through communication. So banter back and fourth online i dont believe solves anything. I’m sure Scooter and i would love to talk to you and resolve any conflict, pain or or any feelings that need to be addressed. Neither scooter or i have anything negative to say about you we truly want the best for you. I usually don’t rebuttal things like this but when you try and deface someone i loves character thats crossing a line..

Now Braun's wife Yael Cohen has posted a THREE-PAGE message to Taylor kinda calling her names and telling her to get her facts straight before she publicizes lies to the entire world and, in effect, bullies others! She wrote: "Let’s get the facts straight. You were given the opportunity to own your masters, you passed. Interesting that the man you’re so ‘grossed out’ by believed in you more than you believe in yourself. Your dad is a shareholder and was notified, and Borchetta personally told you before this came out. So no, you didn’t find out with the world ... The world has watched you collect and drop friends like wilted flowers." Sounds like she has a point ...

@taylorswift, I’m here to talk privately anytime.

Meanwhile, some celebs have weighed in -- Halsey is on Team T-Swiz, saying: "She deserves to own the painstaking labor of her heart. She has surpassed all expectations of what any artist is even capable of. She catapulted her stardom into the Milky Way. And it turns my guts that no matter how much power or success a woman has in this life, you are still susceptible to someone coming along and making you feel powerless out of spite. It speaks volumes to how far we have to come in the music industry. The way writers are treated. How as an entertainer you are respected but as a writer you’re walked all over. Even when you are both in one single body. I am standing with her."

Demi Lovato is Team Scooter: "Personally, I’m grateful he [Braun] came into my life when he did. Please stop ‘dragging’ people or bullying them. There’s enough hate in this world as it is. Y’all can come after me all you want but I’m always gonna stay loyal to my team. I value loyalty more than most people in this world and if my name is gonna be brought into conversations I’m gonna stand up for myself and the ones on my team."

Whose side are YOU on?

Modern Family star Ariel Winter made a pit (pot) stop at Project Cannabis Saturday for some treats. Now that marijuana is legal for recreational use in California, stopping at a dispensary for some weed is just like buying a six-pack at your local 7/11!

All the sexy ladies! Kim, Kourtney and Kendall were out last night with family pal Larsa Pippen, celebrating their BFF's 45th birthday at Craig's in West Hollywood with some FIERCE looks!

Kim wore a neon yellow skin-tight mini-dress while Kourt's fuschia silk cami-dress was even shorter (and more see-through!). Larsa opted for a full-length, sparkly cocktail gown, while Kendall seemed the only one dressed appropriately in a cute, flirty, full-skirt LBD.

Where were Khloe and Kylie? Well we caught up with them later at The Nice Guy so we're assuming they were at dinner, too, and maybe sneaked out the back.


Meanwhile the other ladies definitely didn't sneak out -- they relished the spotlight as they left the restaurant, surrounded by TONS of fans and paparazzi. This was next-level fandom, as people were literally smashing their faces against the ladies' chrome-wrapped Maybach, trying to take selfies with Kim through the tinted windows.

Larsa's other pal, WAGs star Nicole Williams-English looked stunning in a short red leather blazer-as-dress.


All this glam kinda cracks us up -- we get that people in LA over-dress ... we ALWAYS have to look good here, even if we're just going to the supermarket. But a full-length cocktail gown at a steakhouse?! Granted, this is the cool-kids' cafeteria -- the meat-and-potatoes restaurant for the rich and famous. But there are definitely guests wearing cashmere sweaters with jeans and a sensible, but fashionable heel with a clutch and they're sitting next to this group wearing haute couture and six-inch heels!

Chris Brown is celebrating the release of his new album Indigo and while he got a host of celebs to collab with him on tracks - Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj, Drake, Lil Wayne, H.E.R. -- NONE of those people turned up last night at The Nice Guy to party with the man of the hour.

Why? Well you might say it could have something to do with Brown's past, which absolutely NO ONE has forgotten about. Why'd they agree to collaborate with him in the first place? One might wonder ... but music journalists and former fans alike are reminding the world about Chris' negative past.

Newsweek's headline is: "Chris Brown's New Album Indigo Slammed By Those Who Remember His Abusive Past." They point out Twitter haters who've posted comments like: "Again folks are raving about Chris Brown. I literally feel sick. I will never feel safe in a society so willing to excuse the abuse of Black women," and "A reminder to everybody who's listening to his new album that Chris Brown is an absolute garbage waste of air of a human being."

Others say we should separate the artist from his art but ... yeah, right. Enrich the b*tch. Not cool. Sorry, Chris -- ya did it to yoself!

Even Britney Spears has an opinion on the Justin Bieber's challenge to Tom Cruise to take on the Mission Impossibe actor in the Octagon!

Not surprisingly, the story came across Brit's radar and while she didn't want to pick a winner, she did comment that the two unlikely opponents are an "odd match up." To say the least!

We caught up with Brit Friday at Nordstrom in Calabasas at The Oaks mall; she wore a red off-the-shoulder top and denim cut-offs with Birkenstocks for the outing. She was escorted by a bodyguard who carried her bag and drove her Mercedes and while the star clearly has to travel with protection, we're wondering why her security detail isn't boyfriend Sam Asghari, a personal trainer who, frankly, looks more physically imposing than this dude! Where's Sam?!

Is the new Justin Bieber/Chris Brown collab track "Don't Check On Me" about Selena Gomez?!

Fans are going wild with speculation the new single is about Justin's ex. After JB posted about the track, "I had some things to say," fans responded by commenting "Soooo another song about Selena lol," and "Married, but still singing about your ex." Whoa!

Here's how the lyrics go ... "Might run across your mind but don’t worry ’bout me, no//My heart is back in one piece, it ain’t skipped a beat, no Feeling rested up, I ain’t missing sleep, no-oh//Don’t take it personal if I can’t reply now. I’m distant ’cause I don’t wanna be reached now//Won’t let the ghosts of our past weigh my future down." That is TOTALLY about Selena! Listen to it ...

Watch what you write, bloggers! Britney Spears' dad Jamie is taking the #FreeBritney accusations seriously and he's even filed suit against one web site that allegedly defamed him as conservator of Britney's estate, claiming Brit is being controlled against her will.

The suit claims Absolute Britney web site owner Anthony Elia made false and malicious claims that Jamie and his conservatorship controlled Britney's Instagram account to make her seem less stable and more in need of psychiatric help than she actually is, according to Fox News.

"It is time for the conspiracy theories about Britney Spears' well-being and the mob #FreeBritney movement to stop," the lawsuit says in its opening line.

Elia's blog and social media accounts launched the #FreeBritney campaign with numerous conspiracy theories about Brit being held against her will and about her Instagram account being controlled by the conservatorship (aka, Jamie). The suit claims Elia "has made it his mission to spread false and malicious lies on the internet about Britney, her conservatorship and her team, including that those around Britney are harming her and not acting in her best interests."

Beyond these legal issues, Jamie, as conservator, has reportedly received death threats. Sources say followers of the #FreeBritney movement have taken so seriously the conspiracy theories that Brit is being held against her will that they've threatened Jamie's life. Law enforcement has gotten involved.

Meanwhile, the conservatorship was granted an extension on the restraining order against Brit's former manager/friend Sam Lutfi for another five years.

Can you imagine how much they're spending on lawyers!
