Before this Texas native and cutie pie in pink turned into an American actress and singer, she was moving to Edgewood, Florida with her rents and lil' bro, and dressing up as her favorite princess for Halloween.

Contrary to her days as a princess, one of her most recognizable roles was playing a vampire, where she drank the blood of Ian Somerhalder's character. She also played the fantasy roles in "The Originals" and "Legacies."

Musically, this shining star released her debut album, "It's Always The Innocent Ones" back in 2006 and was a backup singer for Miley Cyrus in 2007-2008.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard's telling the Menendez brothers to tread carefully ... because while people are currently advocating for them, she knows from personal experience it won't always be like that.

We spoke with Gypsy, and she tells us she hopes all the facts of their case are taken into account, and they have a peaceful transition back into society if they're released following Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón's decision to advocate for resentencing.

That said, GRB says she worries society's building them up only to tear them down just like she says they've done to her.

Jadakiss learned the hard way the wheels on the bus going round and round just don't ever stop spinning ... nor do kiddie sing-alongs on bus trips!!!

The lyrical legend documented himself on Thursday, riding a school bus full of tykes singing Mary Poppins' tongue-twisting "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" ... on repeat, again and again and again.

Jada appeared to be all um-dittle-dittled out and appeared to have his son and his classmate on his side in disbelief with the beatdown their ears were taking.

The ride-along dad was also reppin' his The LOX rap group on his fitted hat ... their name stands for "living off experience," which he now has first-hand knowledge of what it's like to be wrung through the nursery rhyme blender!!!

It's all for the greater good of fatherhood ... Jada's twin boys recently turned 10 and he's heavily active in their lives.

The Menendez brothers' possible resentencing is music to Lyle’s first wife’s ears ... 'cause she tells TMZ she’s still standing by the pair, despite her own rocky history with her ex-hubby.

Anna Eriksson, who was married to Lyle from 1996 to 2001, tells TMZ that even though Lyle shattered her trust when a misdirected letter revealed he had feelings for someone else, it doesn’t change her stance -- she still believes the brothers should be freed.

Anna gives us more insight into her heartbreak, admitting she actually fainted when she found out Lyle was all in for someone else. Even though he wanted to work things out, she wasn’t having it -- she says she told him he taught her not to put up with things like that -- and she filed for divorce.

Matty Healy's throwing some low-key shade at Taylor Swift, seemingly calling her out for everything she writes about ... and, our "TMZ Live" team is here to read through the lines.

Plus, T-Swift's known for writing about all of her past romances ... including Matty Healy, who many believe is the subject of the song "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived" -- no wonder he's throwing shade.

Kim Kardashian is thrilled the Menendez bros have a shot at freedom, and she's singling out Ryan Murphy as a judicial influencer who got the D.A. to act.

Fact is ... there was a hearing set for Erik and Lyle Menendez to make their case long before Murphy's 'Monsters' dropped on Netflix. But L.A. County D.A. George Gascón did make a point that he accelerated the process because of public interest in the wake of the documentary -- presumably he's referring to the Paramount doc.

As for Kim, she was effusive ... "Thank you, George Gascon, for revisiting the Menendez brothers' case and righting a significant wrong."

Jesse Williams' ex-wife's asking the court not to make any changes to their custody arrangement ... saying giving Jesse more time with the kids just means they'll see their nanny more.

The actor's ex, Aryn Drake-Lee, filed a response to Jesse's motion asking for more time with their children Wednesday ... saying Williams is out of town more than he's in town, so a babysitter will primarily be interacting with their kids if they stay with him more.

Drake-Lee claims their kids stayed with a nanny for much of this past spring while Williams was off working somewhere ... and says the kids missed more school during this period than any other time in their lives.

Mel Gibson's backing Donald Trump in the upcoming election ... saying Kamala Harris has a bad track record -- and, the IQ of a plank of wood!

A former classmate of Erik Menendez who went viral when her daughter posted a video of her yearbook says she hopes he and his brother Lyle are released from prison.

Earlier this month, a woman named Hannah Ellenhorn posted a TikTok showing off her mother's yearbook -- which features Erik, Bill Clinton's White House intern Monica Lewinsky, and "Shahs of Sunset" star Reza Farahan.

People online freaked out over the star power in just one high school class from Beverly Hills High School ... and, we caught up with Hannah's mom -- Edith Ellenhorn -- ahead of Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón's decision of the Menendez brothers' case.

L.A. County District Attorney George Gascón just announced he will ask a judge to free Erik and Lyle Menendez ... the 2 brothers convicted of murdering their parents.

Gascón told a jam-packed room filled with reporters and cameras ... he will go to court Friday to file for the resentencing of Erik and Lyle. Based on their ages at the time of the crimes, he will recommend they should be eligible for parole immediately.

This means if a judge signs off Friday or later, a parole board will decide if the brothers should go free.

Erik and Lyle Menendez are currently awaiting word from L.A. County D.A. George Gascón for an important case update ... but their fellow inmates are already acting like they're getting out, TMZ has learned.

A source inside the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility tells TMZ ... prisoners are already lining up and calling dibs on the Menendez brothers' property on the inside ... all in the hope of scoring a famed memento or two.

We're told everything -- from clothing items to their TVs -- is up for grabs right now, despite that being a prison no-no.

Some cops in Beverly Hills aren't happy Erik and Lyle Menendez could possibly be released ... with some officers going as far as blasting it as a political move.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... several officers with the Beverly Hills Police Department -- the city where the Menendez brothers murders occurred -- say Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón is trying to win political points by letting the brothers out of prison.

He's fallen behind in the polls to his opponent for the position, Nathan Hochman, and some officers see this as a big swing to get himself back in the race.
