Britney Spears called her sister a “selfish little brat” in a scathing new message following Jamie Lynn Spears‘ tell-all on the Call Her Daddy podcast.

Britney first shared her thoughts on Tuesday, but quickly deleted them.  Now, the gloves are off and, on Wednesday, she added three more pages.

The “Toxic” singer refuted Jamie Lynn’s recollection of her youth, where she said she was an “afterthought” and felt she “didn’t matter,” and said their mother, Lynne Spears, “worshipped” and doted on Jamie Lynn.

“I flew home to Jamie Lynn on the couch watching her tv shows right after Justin [Timberlake] and I broke up… I was a ghost there !!!!!” she remarked and claimed Jamie Lynn teased her about the breakup.  “When I came home you and your little friends all thought I wasn’t cool… You and your friends all dyed your hair like Christina Aguilera and [said] you no longer would play with me anymore !!!”

Britney claimed their mom’s preferential treatment of Jamie Lynn enabled her to act like a “selfish little brat.”  She then referenced a story from Jamie Lynn’s Things I Should Have Said memoir about their mother hitting her with a purse and recalled what prompted the alleged abuse.

“My mouth was on the floor the way you talked back to Mamma when I came home … Shocked out of my mind,” she wrote. “You were f****** hateful to her.”

Britney ended by refuting Jamie Lynn’s story that she was the one who drove a wedge in their relationship.  “I NEVER shut you out ever… You can paint it however you like but dear child … YOU shut me out when i needed you the most !!!! Writing in your book saying I wasn’t like your mom anymore … No, you hurt me.”

Jamie Lynn has yet to respond.

Avril Lavigne said not long ago that she was planning to turn the plot of her signature song “Sk8er Boi” into a movie, and now she says it’s turning out to be an all-consuming project.

Appearing on After School Radio on Apple Music Hits, Avril told Blink-182′s Mark Hoppus  — who also appears on her new album — “I’m in the process of putting together a film right now for it. That’s a lot of work, I’ll tell you. Meeting with production companies…I have my story line and my idea and then assembling a team, talking and meeting with different writers. And then I get different pitches and then I talk to them.”

“So I found someone right now that I’m digging. And so I think we’re moving forward,” Avril adds. “And then once the script’s written, I’m just producing and overseeing the whole project.”

Then she asks Mark, “But will you make a cameo?”

As for why the time is right for a “Sk8er Boi” movie, Avril notes that this year marks the 20th anniversary of her debut album Let Go.  As she explains, “I don’t know if it’s just because of how long it’s been or with a resurgence, or whatever you want to call it, in the pop punk scene right now, but people are really bringing up ‘Sk8er Boi’ a lot…it’s taken on a whole new life of its own,” she adds.

Avril’s new album Love Sux is due out next month, and she tells Hoppus, “My last album was very introspective and deep and this one is just rocking all the way through…I feel this is my most alternative record sonically…I just wanted to not hold back at all and just…guitars, drums, just go for it.”

Maren Morris is wishing a happy birthday to Dolly Parton with a special memory the two country artists shared together.

The singer posted a video to her social media on Wednesday, showing a behind-the-scenes moment that happened backstage at the 2019 Newport Folk Festival. That day, Dolly took the stage with Maren and the rest of her band, The Highwomen, which also includes Brandi Carlile, Amanda Shires and Natalie Hemby.

The video shows the group of women backstage, singing Dolly’s 1991 single, “Eagle When She Flies.” In one particularly sweet moment, Dolly pulls Maren into the circle, inviting her to sing with the rest of the performers.

“Happy birthday [Dolly Parton],” Maren writes. “Thank you for forever pulling me into your unbroken circle.”

Other stars also lined up to post good wishes to Dolly on her birthday, including Tim McGraw and Alan Jackson.

Last year, Ridley Scott, the director of Lady Gaga’s latest film House of Gucci, told the ReelBlend podcast that he wanted to release a director’s cut of the movie.  Now Gaga is hinting that the director’s cut may include scenes that show her character, Patrizia, and Salma Hayek‘s character, Pina, being, well…more than friends.

PopCrave has posted a clip from a panel on the film hosted by MGM Studios, in which Gaga says, “There’s a whole side of this film that you did not see where Pina and I developed a sexual relationship.”

As the audience laughs, Gaga teases, “Director’s cut, who knows? But this is a testament to [Ridley Scott] as a director because he let us go there.”

In the film Gaga plays Patrizia Reggiani, who hires a hit man to kill her ex-husband, Maurizio Gucci, with the help of her friend and spiritual advisor, Pina Auriemma.

“I remember being on set with Salma and going, ’So, after Maurizio dies, maybe it gets…hot?’”  Gaga continues.

“You think she’s kidding!” Salma cracks.

If Scott does end up releasing a director’s cut, though, it’s not guaranteed that this so-called scene will be included. Meanwhile, Gaga and the film continue to rack up award nominations; next month, she’ll find out if she’s been nominated for a second Best Actress Oscar.

Cardi B grew up in the Bronx in New York City, and she’s giving back to her community following a deadly fire on January 9 that left 17 dead and dozens homeless.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced Wednesday that the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City has partnered with the Grammy winner to cover the burial expenses for each victim of the tragic Bronx fire.

“I’m extremely proud to be from the Bronx and I have lots of family and friends who live and work there still. So, when I heard about the fire and all of the victims, I knew I needed to do something to help,” the “I Like It” rapper said in a statement.

“I cannot begin to imagine the pain and anguish that the families of the victims are experiencing, but I hope that not having to worry about the costs associated with burying their loved ones will help as they move forward and heal. I send my prayers and condolences to everyone affected by this horrific tragedy,” she continued.

Mayor Adams thanked Cardi for her support following the horrific tragedy.

“We are grateful for Cardi B, a real superstar on and off the mic, for granting some critical financial relief to families of the victims,” Adams commented. “The city will be forever thankful to her and also to the grassroots donors and corporate partners who have been able to offer immediate support for our neighbors in need, to reestablish themselves during this difficult time.”

The Bronx Fire Relief Fund has raised more than $2.5 million. Donations can be made online on the fund’s website.

Last week, Fat Joe also partnered with the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City and hosted a Bronx Relief Special on Instagram Live.

BTS‘ Jimin is a merchandise-selling machine after fans bought out his new purple hoodie in a matter of seconds — causing the online store to crash.

Korea JoongAng Daily, which is associated with The New York Times, reports that the Korean singer teamed with the company HYBE to launch the Artist-Made Collection by BTS.  While each member of the BTS septet contributed, only a few put forth some of his own designs — Jimin, Jin, RM, Suga and V.    

Jimin created a hoodie that contained several sentences, which include “You never walk alone,” “Seven with you” and the number 13, which honors his October 13th birthday. He then promoted his hoodie prior to its launch by wearing it in videos. 

Then, when it — along with some earrings — went live at around 11 a.m. Korean time on Tuesday on the Weverse Shop, the HYBE servers crashed almost instantly due to the sheer number of fans accessing the site at once. The outlet notes that it wasn’t just people from Korea trying to get their hands on the collection — it was fans from across the globe.

It should also be noted that no other BTS member enjoyed such a stampede — even V who released his “Virkin” last week.  While his collection sold out in seconds, his fans did not knock the website offline.

HYBE said it is now “positively considering” a re-release of the hoodie because of the public outcry and announced, “The decision will be announced soon at Weverse Shop.”
