Britney Spears Got Heads Up on Jamie Lynn Joining 'DWTS' ... News Well-Received

Britney Spears wasn't blindsided by her little sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, joining "Dancing With the Stars" -- in fact, she was fully aware and approved ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us, Britney got a heads up about JL appearing on the competition show before the news came out -- and we're told Britney actually took it well.

Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.

No word on who exactly delivered the update to BS, but our sources say she was fully supportive of Jamie Lynn ... and, apparently, even excited for her sibling.

Now, again, we don't know who looped Britney in -- but whoever did clearly did so with their famous rift in mind, as they've had a rocky history. At times, Britney embraced her sister ... but, she's also trashed her. A lot stems from JLS's book last year.

The status of their relationship has felt a little iffy at times -- especially as Brit has continued airing grievances about her family at large on social media -- but after hearing this ... it would appear the Spears sisters are on somewhat good terms right now.

Jamie Lynn is getting seriously accommodated ahead of her time on 'DWTS,' which kicks off Oct. 10. She's been allowed to rehearse near her home in Tennessee, on account of the fact she's a hands-on mom of 2.

This, of course, isn't Jamie's first stint in reality TV either ... she was recently on FOX's "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test."

49ers Vs. Giants Fans Bloodied In Wild Fight In Stands ... After 'TNF' Game

BLOODY BRAWL
TMZSports.com

Several Giants and 49ers fans got into such a wild fistfight in the stands following their game Thursday night ... at least two people were left bloodied.

The brawl went down just minutes after San Francisco beat New York at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. ... after a witness said fans had been trash-talking so much, one of them threw a beer that landed on a woman.

According to the bystander, as soon as the liquid fell on the lady ... a melee immediately broke out -- and in footage from the scene, obtained by TMZ Sports, you can see things got violent in a hurry.

One fan wearing a Joe Montana jersey was punched in the face so many times, his nose gushed blood.

Just feet away, two Giants fans were seen throwing haymakers at a guy in Niners gear ... hitting him so flush in the face, a cut opened above his right eye.

To the SF supporter's credit, he fought off the men ... landing several punches of his own -- before bolting from the area.

One witness tells us authorities did ultimately come to the stands to address the fracas ... though by the time they arrived, nearly all of the combatants had left.

A spokesperson for the Santa Clara Police Dept., however, tells us they are investigating the incident further.

The fight was hardly the only one at the stadium on Thursday ... just a few hours before -- a man was seen pulling a woman's hair during a scuffle in a different part of the venue.

The viral golfer who ripped his shirt off and threatened to fight others is no longer welcome at the scene of his bizarre outburst ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The golfer has reportedly been identified as John Reeb, a middle-aged man from Ohio with an extensive criminal history.

We spoke with Heather Ryan, the general manager of Crooked Creek Golf Course in Ottawa Lake, MI, who tells us Reeb is permanently banned from the course due to the behavior he showed in the viral video.

We're told the people Reeb threatened reported him to Crooked Creek staff shortly after the incident ... Reeb was then asked to leave the course and told he couldn't ever come back.

Heather tells us Reeb has also been banned from Cherrywood Golf Club ... another course they own in Ottawa Lake.

Staff at both courses are fully briefed on Reeb and have been given photos of him to make sure he doesn't enter.

Tori Spelling Happy Birthday, Mom!!! Signs Relationship on The Mend???

They've had a rocky relationship over the years, but it appears Tori Spelling has decided to put all that aside to wish her mother, Candy, a very happy birthday.

Candy turned 78 Wednesday, and Tori took to Instagram to celebrate, posting a series of sweet pics of the two with the caption, "I love you. Grateful to be your daughter. Some of my happiest memories involve laughing so hard with you that we were happy crying uncontrollably and you doing your LOL wheeze…"

She continues, "I never take for granted the beautiful life you raised Rand and I in with Dad. And, I am such a resilient and strong human and I owe so much of that to you. Strong 💪 women run in our family. I’m passing it on. Loved and still love watching horror films in bed with you. Always. Xo"

The message is as nice as it is surprising, given the pair's history -- Candy's accused Tori in the past of shunning her, keeping her grandchildren from her and has allegedly held money from Tori when Tori's struggled in the past.

However, over the last few years it seems they've mended things ... we recently spoke to Candy after pics surfaced of Tori seemingly living out of a trailer with her kids. Candy told us she'd be more than willing to help Tori out financially ... but unclear if the offer was ever taken.

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro Wants Back on 'Jersey Shore' ... Details Comeback From Arrests, Violent Past

"Jersey Shore" star Ronnie Ortiz-Magro says he's grown a lot and turned his life around over the last couple years ... and believes he's ready to get back to work on the show that made him famous.

We got Ronnie Wednesday at LAX, and we talked about his appearance on the reality show's spin-off, "Family Vacation," something he loved doing so much, he says he'd be down to turn his current role into something more permanent, too.

BTW, we asked if he interacted with his ex Sammi Sweetheart -- with whom he had an explosive relationship -- but he's not ready to spill all the deets. It's definitely one major hurdle producers would have to clear, IF they share Ronnie's interest in him coming back.

As we reported, though, the 2 were under the same roof while filming in Florida earlier this year.

Remember, Ronnie stepped away from the series years ago after a slew of domestic violence arrests and issues with his ex-GF, Jenn Harley -- with whom he shares a daughter.

Ronnie told us all about what he's done since coming out of a dark point in his life - sounds like he is making moves -- and explains why he definitely isn't swiping right on dating apps.

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro Quiere volver a 'Jersey Shore'... Detalla su nueva vida luego de un pasado violento

La estrella de "Jersey Shore", Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, dice que ha crecido mucho en los últimos años para darle un vuelco a su vida y que ahora está listo para volver a trabajar en el programa que lo hizo famoso.

Nos encontramos con Ronnie el miércoles en el aeropuerto de LA y hablamos de sus apariciones en el reality show, "Family Vacation", algo que le encantaba hacer y que dice le encantaría convertir en algo más permanente.

Por cierto, le preguntamos si seguía interactuando con su ex Sammi Sweetheart, con quien tuvo una relación explosiva, aunque sobre este punto aún no está listo para soltar todos los detalles. Definitivamente este es uno de los grandes obstáculos que los productores tendrán que aclarar, SI es que compartieran el interés de Ronnie por volver.

Como informamos, los dos estuvieron compartiendo el mismo techo durante el rodaje en Florida a principios de este año.

Hay que recordar que Ronnie se alejó de la serie hace años después de una serie de arrestos por violencia doméstica y problemas con su ex-novia, Jenn Harley, con quien comparte una hija.

Ronnie nos contó todo lo que ha hecho desde que salió de esa etapa oscura de su vida. Suena como que realmente está haciendo ajustes importantes... y también nos explica por qué no está interesado en sumergirse en las apps de citas.

DILLON DANIS SIGUE TROLLEANDO A NINA AGDAL EN X A pesar de la demanda

Dillon Danis no parece inmutarse por la demanda que Nina Agdal interpuso contra él por trollearla incesantemente. El luchador de 30 años continuó la embestida en línea a pesar de haber sido notificado a principios de esta semana.

Danis luchará contra el prometido de Agdal, Logan Paul el 14 de octubre en Manchester y no ha frenado sus ataques por redes sociales.

El martes, Dillon publicó una foto de Nina en un bikini diminuto; parte de una sesión de fotos de Sports Illustrated del pasado.

También publicó un meme con una foto photoshopeada de Nina de pie en una habitación con un montón de carne con forma fálica que decía: "Haz lo que amas y nunca trabajarás un día en tu vida"

Danis siguió el miércoles, publicando una selfie de Nina en ropa interior. También publicó un Tuit de la cuenta X de Donald Trump Jr., que había sido hackeada, afirmando que tuvo una relación sexual con Agdal.

Ya publicamos la noticia; Agdal presentó una demanda contra Danis a principios de este mes, alegando que publicó cosas "despreciables" sobre ella en más de 250 ocasiones.

Nina afirmó haber sido humillada por los posts que, según ella, le han causado "angustia emocional y daño a su reputación."

Agdal incluso sugirió que "Danis había hackeado su cuenta personal o había obtenido el video privado de alguien que lo había hecho" ya que dijo que un video que Dillon publicó solo estaba disponible en sus archivos privados de Snapchat, presumiblemente solo accesibles para ella.

No debería ser una sorpresa que Danis no haya cedido, después de que se presentó la demanda, dijo claramente que no renunciaría.

"Nina Adgel ha presentado una demanda masiva contra mí. Ella presentó una orden de restricción contra mí y está buscando que pase algún tiempo en la cárcel, por lo que la lucha está en peligro si estoy en la cárcel", escribió Danis, y agregó: "Esto es realmente salvaje, pero no voy a parar f*** el sistema venga por mí. Logan Paul es un hombre muerto caminando".

Después de esquivar los servidores de proceso durante días, Danis fue notificado oficialmente con la demanda el lunes, y el incidente tenso fue capturado en video.

¡La pelea es en sólo 24 días y estamos apostando que Logan no puede esperar para ponerle las manos encima Dillon! 👊

Dillon Danis Continues Trolling Nina Agdal On X ... Despite Lawsuit

Dillon Danis doesn't seem fazed over the lawsuit Nina Agdal filed against him for incessantly trolling her ... the 30-year-old fighter continued the onslaught online, despite being served earlier this week.

Danis is fighting Agdal's fiancé, Logan Paul, on October 14 in Manchester, and has not relented with the attacks on social media.

On Tuesday, Dillon posted a pic of Nina in a teeny bikini, part of a Sports Illustrated photoshoot from the past.

He also posted a meme featuring a photoshopped pic of Nina standing in a room with a bunch of phallic-shaped meat, with the caption ... "Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life"

Danis didn't let up on Wednesday, posting a selfie of Nina in just her underwear. He also posted a Tweet from Donald Trump Jr.'s X account, which had been hacked, claiming he had a sexual relationship with Agdal.

We broke the story ... Agdal filed a lawsuit against Danis earlier this month, claiming he posted "despicable" things about her on over 250 occasions.

Nina claimed to have been humiliated by the posts which she says have caused "emotional distress and reputational harm."

Agdal even suggested "Danis had hacked [her] personal account or had obtained the private video from someone who had done so" ... as she said a video Dillon posted was only available in her private Snapchat archives, presumably only accessible to her.

Perhaps it shouldn't be a surprise Danis hasn't relented ... after the suit was filed, he said straight up said he wouldn't quit.

"Nina Adgel [sic] has filed a massive lawsuit against me. She filed a restraining order against me and is seeking prison time, so the fight is in jeopardy if I’m in jail," Danis wrote, adding, "This is actually wild but I won’t stop f*** the system come get me. Logan Paul is a dead man walking."

After dodging process servers for days, Danis was officially served with the lawsuit on Monday, and the tense incident was captured on video.

The fight is only 24 days away ... and we're betting Logan can't wait to get his hands on Dillon! 👊

Lil Kim Fans Not Feeling Glossy Mag Cover... Photog Says It Was All Her Doing 🤷🏾‍♂️

Lil Kim is one of several hip hop legends picked to grace Ebony magazine's new cover to celebrate the culture's 50th anniversary, but one of the people involved in the job isn't taking credit for the photo-op!!!

Fans took serious issue with Kim's front page spread on Tuesday, for its cutout-like appearance and NFT glow as the publication rolled out others with 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes, Rick Ross and Swizz Beatz.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Renowned photographer Keith Major, who served as Director of Photography for the project, clearly couldn't stomach seeing his work slandered in such fashion and hopped into The Shade Room to let a complainer know Kim had the final say on the cover writing, "Man, she wanted to be in control of the retouching so this is what we got."

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

It's up for debate if Kim even likes the cover ... she hasn't shared it on her IG yet but still has her commemorative XXL cover from May posted on her IG which says a lot.

Kim's built up enough Queen clout to have things her way ... even if she changes her mind.

BRITNEY SPEARS EL ENEMIGO ESTÁ JUSTO DELANTE DE MÍ

Britney Spears lanzó un mensaje no tan críptico a sus fans, más que sugerir que su libro será un abrasador sobre la traición familiar.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Britney compartió un vídeo de una niña pequeña horneando algo, mientras 2 niñas mayores le rompen los huevos en la frente y luego estallan en carcajadas.

Ella dijo que se relaciona con el video en un nivel oscuro. "Me han hecho cosas parecidas, así que lo veo con otros ojos". "La mayor parte de mi conflicto interior con la gente es saber que el enemigo está justo enfrente de mí, pero me quedé con ellos porque los amaba". Soy extremadamente sensible a que alguien se ría de alguien o intimide de alguna manera"

Ella continúa: "Hay tantas cosas que he mantenido en privado que han pasado conmigo personalmente y tal vez un día pueda dejar que la gente sepa... hasta entonces, hay 3 lados de cada historia, tu lado, mi lado y la verdad. El niño es la confianza, la chica del medio es la verdad... ¡¡¡Míralo AHORA sin sonido!!!"

Aunque no menciona específicamente a su familia, es bastante fácil conectar los puntos. "El enemigo está justo en frente de mí, pero me quedé con ellos porque los amaba".

El libro de Britney saldrá a la venta el próximo mes y en base a sus últimas palabras, no parece que la relación entre ella y su familia se haya reparado.

Ella dice que ha mantenido todo esto en privado pero puede que todo cambie con sus memorias.

Britney Spears 'The Enemy is Right in Front of Me'

Britney Spears delivered a not-so-cryptic message to her fans, more than suggesting her book will be a scorcher about family betrayal.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Britney shared a vid of a little girl baking something, as 2 older girls crack eggs on her forehead, then bust into laughter.

She said she relates to the video on a dark level ... "similar things have been done to me so I look at this with different eyes !!! Most of my inner conflict with people is knowing the enemy is right in front of me but I kept them because I loved them !!! I'm extremely sensitive to anybody laughing at someone or bullying in any way !!!"

She goes on ... "There's so much I've kept private that's gone on with me personally and maybe one day I can let people know ... until then, there's 3 sides to every story !!! Your side, my side and the truth !!! The child within is the trust, the girl in the middle is the truth ... watch it NOW with no sound !!!"

Although she doesn't specifically mention her family, it's pretty easy to connect the dots ... "The enemy is right in front of me but I kept them because I loved them."

Britney's book is due out next month, and based on her latest words, it does not seem like the relationship between her and her family has been repaired.

She says she's kept all of this private, but that may all change with her memoir.

Dillon Danis Served In Agdal Trolling Lawsuit ... Before Logan Paul Fight

REFUSING PAPERWORK
TMZSports.com

Dillon Danis has finally been served ... after dodging and weaving a process server for over a week, the fighter/online troll was officially notified Nina Agdal was suing him, and TMZ Sports has video.

It all went down Monday morning outside the Jersey City (NJ) building where the 30-year-old fighter lives.

The process server was waiting for Dillon ... and when he approached with two buddies, the guy said "I have a document for you, Mr. Danis," as he attempted to hand a brown envelope to the fighter.

But, Dillon refused, responding ... "That's not me," as the men walked towards the doors to his building. The PS was told he couldn't go inside, so he placed the document on the floor.

Danis and process servers had been playing a game of cat and mouse for days, with Dillon even pretending he was in North Korea. He also posted images and surveillance video of unsuccessful servers who were waiting for him.

Of course, we broke the story earlier this month ... Agdal, whose fiancé Logan Paul is fighting Danis on October 14, filed a lawsuit and restraining order against Dillon, claiming he was incessantly bullying and trolling her online (250+ times).

In her suit, Agdal says she's suffered humiliation, emotional distress, and reputational harm ... and even claims Danis broke State and Federal law on one occasion when he allegedly gained access to a private video on her phone.

Now that Danis has been served, he'll have 21 days to answer the complaint, per New Jersey law.

In the words of Omarion ... "You suckers got served!"

Akademiks & Vic Mensa Our Beef Is History ... 6 Years in the Making!!!

Akademiks and Vic Mensa going tit for tat over Chicago's rap scene is one of hip hop's most viral beefs to date -- but they've both decided to bury the hatchet now, thanks to each's personal growth.

Vic and Ak dapped it up Monday for the latest installment of the "Off The Record" podcast ... and both expressed how they've developed admiration for one another.

Vic famously went at Ak's throat in 2017 over his coverage of Chicago drill rappers and the two continued to trade shots even up until several months ago.

Vic says his remarks over the years stemmed from a place of hurt ... after seeing his slain homie Tray 57 on Ak's "The War in Chiraq" YouTube channel.

For his part, Ak says he would've reported on the culture differently in hindsight, and also admitted ego prevented him from righting his wrongs.

Their conversation spiraled for more than 2 hours, and seems to spell the beginning of a fruitful partnership down the line!!!

Vic's been actively promoting his new "Victor" album and having Ak part of the marketing campaign couldn't have been in anyone's bingo card!!!

THOMAS MARKLE "MEGHAN Y HARRY SON CRUELES" No me dejan ver a mis nietos

El padre de Meghan Markle dice que su hija y su marido, el príncipe Harry, son directamente crueles por dejarlo fuera de la vida de sus nietos.

Thomas Markle dio a conocer sus quejas el lunes en "Good Morning Britain", diciendo a los anfitriones que está desconsolado porque su hija y su yerno le han negado el acceso a los 2 niños, Archie de 3 años y Lilibet de 2 años.

Thomas dijo: "Yo también estoy muy disgustado porque negarle el derecho a ver a su nieto es algo cruel para hacerle a un abuelo".

El hombre de 79 años dijo: "Además no he hecho nada malo. No hay nada que apunte a decir que soy un mal tipo. Soy un padre muy cariñoso y ella lo sabe, y no hay excusa para tratarme así ... no hay excusa para tratar así a los abuelos".

Markle señaló que hay una ley en California que permite a los abuelos obtener una orden judicial que obligue a los padres a dejarles visitar a sus nietos, pero dice que no seguirá ese camino, al menos por ahora.

Como informamos, la ruptura entre Meghan y su padre estalló en 2018 durante el período previo a la boda real, cuando Thomas hizo tratos con los paparazzi.

Thomas dice que él y el rey Carlos tienen la misma difícil situación, ambos no pueden ver a sus nietos, aunque no está claro si la puerta está cerrada con Charles.

Y cree que Harry sólo está siguiendo el ejemplo de Meghan. No parece que el hielo se esté descongelando, ni siquiera un poco.

Thomas Markle Meghan and Harry are 'Cruel' ... They Won't Let Me See My Grandkids

Meghan Markle's dad says his daughter and her hubby, Prince Harry, are straight-up cruel for shutting him out of his grandchildren's lives.

Thomas Markle aired his grievances Monday on "Good Morning Britain," telling the hosts he's heartbroken his daughter and son-in-law have denied him access to the 2 kids, 3-year-old Archie and 2-year-old Lilibet.

Thomas said, "I’m very upset about it as well because this is a cruel thing to do to a grandparent ... to deny the right to see their grandchild."

The 79-year-old groused, "The other thing is I’ve done nothing wrong. There’s nothing that points to say I’m a bad guy. I’m a really loving father and she knows that, and there’s no excuse for treating me this way ... no excuse to treat grandparents that way."

Markle noted there's a law in California that allows grandparents to get a court order forcing parents to let them visit with their grandkids, but he says he won't go down that road ... at least for now.

As we reported, the rift between Meghan and her dad erupted in 2018, during the run-up to the royal wedding, when Thomas made deals with the paparazzi.

Thomas says he and King Charles have the same plight ... both are not able to see their grandkids, although it's unclear if the door is shut with Charles.

And, he thinks Harry is just following Meghan's lead. It does not look like the ice is thawing ... even a little bit.

Drew Barrymore Rosie Tears Into Talk Show Host ... It's Simple, Honor the Strike

Rosie O’Donnell excoriated Drew Barrymore Saturday for bringing her talk show back during the Writer's strike.

It was almost like talking to a child ... Rosie wrote, “Stop taping the show. Stop asking audiences to cross the picket line, Then ask someone to help you craft three declarative sentences. They should follow along these lines: I made an error. I apologize to the WGA for disrespecting the work of professional writers. I apologize to all union members who are withstanding real hardship as I live a life of luxury.”

Alyssa Milano co-signed later, writing, "Not complicated at all."

Drew's moves have been bizarre. At first she announced she was bringing back her show without writers, and then a day later she shot a video tearfully apologizing but still going forward with the show. We're hearing Drew didn't think she'd get the kind of backlash she did, which is, well, surprising.

The WGA has vowed to picket Drew's show and, they say, any member who appears on the show will be considered a scab.
