Cher wants to put her son into a conservatorship, but he says he doesn't need one -- and, for now, a judge is still siding with him ... yet again denying her request to lock him down.

Elijah Blue Allman was stone-faced heading into his temporary appointment hearing Monday -- where a judge will presumably decide if Cher will, in fact, be tapped to head up a conservatorship for her adult son ... this after temporarily denying her earlier this month.

In early Jan., the court blocked Cher's effort to put Elijah into a conservatorship -- siding with Elijah's attorneys when they argued they hadn't been given enough time to make their case against the conservatorship ... plus, not getting docs they needed to combat her request.

Cher cited her son's ongoing battle with addiction as the key reason why she wants the legal apparatus used on him -- claiming he can't be trusted to manage his finances on his own.

She specifically says that regular payments he receives from a trust fund left behind from his late father, Gregg Allman, are likely to be squandered because of issues she claims Elijah continues to experience ... but he's called BS on that, saying he's cleaned up his act.

Welp, the judge heard the arguments anew ... and he once again shot down Cher and her team -- simply saying they hadn't proven Elijah doesn't have the capacity to handle his own affairs ... going on to say that an alleged bipolar disorder diagnosis, in and of itself, doesn't necessarily mean he's incompetent. As the judge said, that doesn't address capacity.

NO CONSERVATORSHIP NEEDED

The court also acknowledged that Elijah has proven in paperwork that he's remained clean and sober of late ... plus, he's also proven that he's handling his money just fine.

The judge set a future date for a trial on this issue -- where it will presumably be decided once and for all -- and went on to suggest Cher and her kid head into mediation, STAT. Cher beamed in remotely BTW ... it was only Elijah, his wife and all the lawyers in court today.

Ben Affleck & Jennifer Lopez Spotted With Jennifer Garner At School Event ... Co-Parenting In Los Angeles

Here's something you almost never see ... Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck photographed with Ben's ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.

But that's exactly what everyone saw Sunday after the famous trio left a musical performance at a Los Angeles school with the kids Garner shares with Affleck, namely Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 11, along with Emme, 15, who J Lo shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony.

TMZ obtained these rare images showing Garner walking out of the school with Seraphina and Samuel following the event. Just behind them, Ben and Jen were strolling with Emme, while the three had a little convo. What we did not see was Lopez and Affleck interacting with Garner.

Still, everyone seemed totally chill, as if viewing them in the same frame was no big deal. And maybe it wasn't.

You may recall in November ... Affleck and Garner were filmed laughing it up as they attended Samuel's basketball game in Santa Monica. Clearly, the two movie stars were enjoying co-parenting together – and now it seems Lopez is part of that equation with Sunday's outing.

As we reported ... Affleck was married to Garner for 13 years, divorcing in 2018 after having three kids: Seraphina, Samuel and their oldest child, Violet Anne, 18.

In 2021, Affleck rekindled his previous romance with Lopez before the two tied the knot the following year.

Ben now plays stepdad to Lopez's 15-year-old twins -- Max and Emme -- from the actresses' marriage to singer, Marc Anthony. Lopez divorced Anthony in 2014.

Adivina en quién ¡se ha convertido este niño con mochila!

Antes de que esta niña rubia y rizada con su camiseta de "La Sirenita" se convirtiera en un icono mundial, no hacía más que ponerse la mochila, esperar a que llegara el autobús escolar en su ciudad natal de Pensilvania y crecer en una granja de árboles de Navidad.

Puede que empezara en conciertos y ferias locales, pero ahora actúa en todo el mundo. Puede que otros músicos famosos escriban sobre ella, ¡pero no se puede negar que sabe cómo triunfar!

¿Necesitas una pista más? ¿Te suena el número 87?

Guess Who This Backpack Kid Turned Into!

Before this cute, curly blonde kid in her 'Little Mermaid' tee turned into a global icon, she was just throwin' on her backpack, waiting for the school bus to arrive in her hometown of Pennsylvania and growing up on a Christmas tree farm!

She may have gotten her start at local concerts and fairs, but she's parlayed that into performing all across the world! Other famous musicians may write about her, but there's no denying she knows how to shake it off!

Need one more clue? She sure does look good reppin' #87!

Penelope, la hija de Scott Disick recrea el baile "Saltburn"

La hija de Scott Disick -Penelope- está sumergida en una nueva tendencia viral con amigas, aunque la inspiración que originó la tendencia puede levantar algunas cejas.

ASESINATO EN LA pijamada

Así es la cosa, Scott hizo una fiesta de pijamas en su casa para Penélope y algunas amigas el sábado por la noche, incluyendo a su prima, la hija de Kim Kardashian, North West. Las niñas claramente van en dirección de sus padres haciendo muchos videos para TikTok.

El clip de Disick muestra a las niñas filmando a su hija de 11 años bailando por las escaleras y a través de la enorme casa en el área de Los Ángeles. Suena "Murder on the Dancefloor", mientras que Penelope gira y gira hacia a la cocina.

Si todo esto te suena familiar, es probablemente porque el personaje de Barry Keoghan hace lo mismo en la película "Saltburn", aunque baila desnudo.

Si no has visto la película, spoilers, básicamente, el personaje de Barry -Oliver- se desnuda y baila en la enorme casa de la familia rica de otro personaje después de asesinar con éxito por su dinero, en pocas palabras, el contenido muy adulto.

Para ser justos, el baile ha tomado vida propia en línea con muchas personas que lo recrean completamente vestidos -al igual que lo hicieron las chicas- sin embargo, todavía tenía algunos fans en línea preocupados de que podrían haber visto la película.

Sin embargo, la mayoría de los seguidores de Disick en Insta están alabando lo divertido del video y el hecho de que las chicas lo estén pasando tan bien y de paso aplaudiendo a Scott.

Penélope ciertamente parece entusiasmada con su noche de chicas, lejos de sus hermanos Mason, Reign y su nuevo hermanito Rocky que nació hace apenas un par de meses.

Scott Disick Daughter Penelope, North West Dance ... Viral 'Saltburn' Trend!!!

Scott Disick's daughter Penelope is hopping on a new viral trend with friends ... though the inspiration for the trend may raise a few eyebrows.

Murder At The Sleepover

Here's the deal ... SD appeared to host a sleepover at his place for Penelope and some friends Saturday night -- including her cousin, Kim Kardashian's daughter North West. The girls clearly take after their famous family members 'cause they filled their evening filming TikTok vids.

Disick's clip shows the girls filming his 11-year-old dancing down the stairs and through the massive Los Angeles-area estate. They're blaring "Murder on the Dancefloor" while PD twists and turns her way to the kitchen.

If all that sounds familiar to ya ... it's probably 'cause Barry Keoghan's character does the same thing in the movie "Saltburn" -- though he dances buck naked.

If you haven't seen the movie, spoilers ... basically, BK's character Oliver strips down and dances through the massive estate of another character's wealthy family after successfully murdering them for their money -- bottom line, very adult content.

To be fair, the dance has taken on a life of its own online with many people recreating it fully clothed, just like the girls did ... but it still had some fans online worried they may have seen the flick.

For the most part though ... followers on Disick's IG post are just lauding how fun of a time the girls look like they're having and applauding Scott -- seems like a lot of people think his house looks like a dang good time.

Penelope certainly seems excited about a girls' night in ... away from her brothers Mason, Reign and new baby bro Rocky who was born just a couple months ago.

Alyssa Milano Dragged for Trying to Raise $$$ ... For Son's Baseball Trip

UPDATE

12:34 PM PT -- Alyssa Milano took to Twitter/X to address the backlash over the GoFundMe she set up to help fund her son's baseball team saying ... “I’m getting media inquiries about whether I have financially contributed to my son’s baseball team."

Alyssa continued, "I’ve paid for uniforms for the entire team and coaches, thrown bday parties and sponsor any kid who can’t afford monthly dues. The kids also do fundraising themselves—car washes, movie nights, and many other fun things!"

"Thank you to all who have contributed to the gofundme! You’ve made things easier for these boys and their families.”

Alyssa Milano asked her many followers/fans to chip in for her son's youth baseball trip -- and because she's perceived as incredibly wealthy ... she's getting dragged through the coals.

The actress posted a link to a GoFundMe account that she and her husband, David Bugliari, started on behalf of their kid's 12U squad ... which she calls a travel fund that'll help the boys get to Cooperstown for a big baseball tournament, plus other expenses.

She wrote, "My son’s baseball team is raising money for their Cooperstown trip. Any amount would be so greatly appreciated. You can read more about the team and make a donation here" ... after which, she linked to the GFM page, which has a goal of raising $10,000.

The cash, the page says, will go toward travel costs, uniforms and family dues for players -- and it benefits the whole team, of course ... not just Alyssa's son. Still, the internet's pissed.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

You can hop into the "Alyssa Milano" trend this AM to get a sense of what the hell everyone's so angry about because of this -- but it's pretty straight-forward ... people are complaining that AM is a huge star, who's presumably loaded and who can afford this with the snap of her finger. So ... why is she going around soliciting donations like a normie???

As you can imagine, the jokes are flying at Alyssa's expense -- but a lot of folks are genuinely outraged that she'd try to fundraise considering her position. Even more interesting is the fact that in the list of visible donors, none appear to feature her name.

She hasn't addressed all the hand-wringing just yet -- but TBH, this feels like a case of people making assumptions about her on a number of fronts ... and we'll just leave it at that.

BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT

Madonna gave her daughter one of the biggest birthday presents imaginable -- getting a packed crowd at Madison Square Garden to sing along and help her ring in the big 1-8.

The pop star brought out her kid, Mercy, onstage Monday night during her show at MSG and showed off her incredible talent by having her play a little piano for the arena -- that is, before Mama Bear helped lead a full-blown sing-a-long for her to celebrate her born day.

It was a pretty sweet moment ... not only did Madge come over and belt out the tune, but a lot of her backup dancers and stage crew members also rushed the stage to join in.

Once they were finished with the song -- which almost everyone helped sing -- they brought out a little cupcake with Mercy for good measure ... complete with a candle and everything.
