She's not going to allow people to spread lies!
Paris Jackson is fighting back against a recent report that claimed she's on a "downward spiral," and she insists nothing could be further from the truth.
Recent photographs emerged of Michael Jackson's daughter and her boyfriend appearing to have a fight in the streets of New Orleans, but she says that's not what was happening.
"Me and my bf re-enacted ‘the californians’ from SNL while we were in nola purely for the entertainment of our friends, and paps happened to be taking pictures of it all and…. y’all it looks like a full on break-up scene in a sad drama movie omg," she tweeted.
"Damn i’m just now catching wind of these downward spiral articles.. this is like, what ? the 7th time y’all have accused me of this ? the 3rd in the past month? n yet not one OD from all the ‘drugs’ y’all accuse me of doing or any hospitalizations… 7… but who’s counting right…," she continued.
Like.. no please.. give it up.. there are so many more interesting things to write about. and actions speak louder than words. so if my actions prove your words wrong, why keep trying to pull this s—? it’s a lil pathetic. i’ll pray for y’all. I smoke weed on my story ONE time and all of a sudden i’m a junkie meth alcoholic party raver that’s also secretly married and pregnant and may or may not have a penis. I have a job. and dogs. and a bedtime. go f— yourself," she concluded.
Between this and that Leaving Neverland documentary, she's being forced to do a lot of damage control!

Think before you get inked!
Ben Affleck made an appearance on Ellen, set to air today, and the actor felt the need to defend his massive back tattoo after being ruthlessly trolled on the Internet about it when it went viral. If you haven't seen a pic of the giant multicolored phoenix covering his entire back, you should google it NOW!
"It’s not something that I sort of kept private, It wasn’t like I was doing photoshoots or whatever, we were two hours north of the city on an island in Hawaii and we didn’t know the paparazzi were there. So they got a picture of my tattoo. And sentiment ran … you know, against," he explained to the talk show host.
"It represents something important to me. It’s meaningful to me, I like it. I love my tattoo. I’m very happy with it. Luckily, I’m the one who has it," he added.
The Oscar winner also touched on the rough past couple months, and how he emerged from his battle with alcoholism stronger than ever.
"There’s temptation to get like — I could depressed, I could be like, ‘I’ve been through a lot. That was hard, this was hard,’ or I could be kind of embarrassed. But I have to say, I feel so good right now. I’m in such a great place, kids are healthy, life is good. So whatever it took for me to get to this place, I’m grateful for," he revealed.
There's always laser tat removal if he gets tired of talking about this!

His future hangs in the balance.
Teresa Giudice's husband Joe was released from prison after serving a 41-month sentence for mail, wire and bankruptcy fraud, and immediately reported to the immigration detention center.
"Mr. Giudice has finished serving his federal prison sentence and was transferred early this morning from the Bureau of Prisons to a facility in western Pennsylvania which houses immigration detainees. His lawyers and his family are hopeful that justice will prevail and Mr. Guidice will return home to his wife and four daughters who love him and miss him," his attorney James Leonard Jr. told People.
Returning to New Jersey might not be in the cards, though, as he's facing deportation to Italy!
The 46-year-old has lived in America since he was a small child, but never obtained official U.S. citizenship. Given that he's been convicted of a crime, an immigration court ruled to deport him back in October, but he's been fighting that ruling and filed an appeal in November.
If he gets sent across the Atlantic, his wife is rumored to planning on filing for divorce, as they have four daughters that are based on the East Coast.

Talk about privilege!
Lori Loughlin's daughter Olivia Jade was vacationing in the Bahamas for spring break aboard USC Chairman of Trustee's Rick Caruso’s private yacht when her parents were indicted for the college admissions scandal, but her tropical vacay was cut short when she caught wind of the news and rushed home.
"My daughter and a group of students left for spring break prior to the government’s announcement yesterday. Once we became aware of the investigation, the young woman decided it would be in her best interests to return home," Caruso told TMZ.
The Full House actress and her husband Mossimo Giannulli were both arrested and posted $1 million bail for paying $500K to get both their daughters into the university under the guise that they were crew athletes.
It's unclear what will happen to the 19-year-old's status at the school. The YouTuber and social media influencer has already lost sponsorships and followers because of the fallout, and she might even get kicked out of university!
"USC will conduct a case-by-case review for current students and graduates that may be connected to the scheme alleged by the government. We will make informed, appropriate decisions once those reviews have been completed. Some of these individuals may have been minors at the time of their application process," USC Media Relations departments said in a statement.
It's normal to have some apprehension when putting your heart and soul into something.
Selena Gomez is hard at work on her upcoming album, but the singer admits that she's worried about how her new sound might be received.
"I'm currently in the studio and it's going really good," she said on her Instagram stories.
"I'm just nervous about it, honestly, 'cause I feel like the next few choices that I'm gonna make are very crucial. So I'm trying to be really really diligent and just patient with everything. But I love you guys very much. The album is coming very soon," she added.
The "Come & Get" songstress hasn't put out an album since 2015's "Revival.

People are pissed!
Celebrities are reacting to this college admissions cheating scandal on social media, and they have some harsh things to say about the privileged parents that paid to get their kids into top universities.
"They worried their daughters are as stupid as their mothers," Kellyanne Conway tweeted about Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman. "2 actresses get most attention for college admissions cheating scandal. Yet 48 others were charged, too. Coaches, athletic directors took millions. CEOs Author of ironically titled, “The Modern Girls Guide to Life†Willkie Farr law firm partner YOU FAILED THESE KIDS," she added.
The FBI investigation, dubbed Operation Varsity Blues, caught the attention of the movie's star James Van Der Beek.
"If only there was a succinct turn of phrase these kids could have used to inform their parents they were not desirous of their life path..." he joked on Twitter, referencing his famous line.
Actor Rob Lowe was breathing a sigh of relief that his kids made it into the college the honest way.
"Very proud of my honest, hardworking sons," he wrote. For the record, they got into Stanford with their own academic achievements!
Bethenny Frankel was a little more worked up that the others, though!
"I mean I cannot believe parents not only being vile, pig, braggy #blessed a**holes but to also falsely make their kids think they tested exponentially higher than their actual potential? What next? The kids feel depressed bc they can’t handle the workload of those schools? But wait, how do the kids not know they got in on a crew scholarship? If you ask your kid to stand in front of a crew boat, aren’t they curious? I’m just confused all around. And....if you see a bethenny building and my kid in a classroom (which will not happen) then you know the deal. It’s not some surreptitious scam," she fumed.
We can't wait to see what other names shake out of this!

Supermodel night out!
Kendall Jenner and Hailey Baldwin hit the town in NYC for the Edition hotel launch last night, and we can't decide who looked hotter! The KarJenner clan is really going heavy with the snakeskin prints lately, and we're loving it!
We were hearing rumors that Kenny had split with her NBA player beau Ben Simmons, but they were spotted having a romantic date at none other than the Cheesecake Factory in New Jersey on March 11th, so all signs point to them still being together. She was also sitting court side and wearing his jersey at Sunday night's Philadelphia 76ers game, so clearly there's no trouble in paradise.
Hails, meanwhile, is trying to keep her marriage to Justin Bieber in tact as he seeks treatment for depression and anxiety.
