Sophie Turner Not Sweatin' Joe's Love Down Under Flaunts PDA in Paris W/ BF

Joe Jonas isn't the only one heating things up abroad -- his ex, Sophie Turner, once again flaunted some PDA with her new boyfriend ...  as seen in some steamy new pics.

The "Game of Thrones" alum cuddled up to her British aristocrat boo, Peregrine Pearson, while wandering the streets of Paris amid Fashion Week. It's clear that Sophie and Peregrine are still going very strong ... since they couldn't stop smiling during their romantic outing.

The couple wasn't shy about putting their love on display either -- as they were photographed walking arm-in-arm ... and even shared a smooch or two on the street, something they've made a habit of since going public in October.

This latest display of affection notably comes amid Joe's blossoming relationship of his own, which is also full-steam ahead. ICYMI ... the JoBro singer proved he, too, has 100% moved on from Sophie by rebounding with beauty queen-turned-actress Stormi Bree.

SB even joined JJ down in Australia amid the JoBros' international tour. Stormi was recently with Joe for a yacht outing at the Sydney Harbor -- and participated in some swimming, paddleboarding and day drinking with her boyfriend.

It's clear they're official, just like ST and PP are -- and they're obviously enjoying spending time together ... having previously linked in Los Cabos and Aspen the last several weeks.

Remember -- Joe and Sophie currently have a custody agreement in place for their kids, Willa and Delphine, amid their pending divorce ... so it's unclear if they're in Paris with mom or down under with dad.

In any case, it appears that everyone involved is having a nice March.

C'est la vie, right?

JULIA FOX WEARS RACY NUDE JUMPSUIT FOR PFW W/ Feathers & Face Paint!!!

Julia Fox made one hell of an entrance at the Mugler PFW show Sunday ... rocking a look that only she could pull off, and kinda stealing the spotlight again like it's 2022.

The actress rocked a tight sequined nude-colored jumpsuit that hugged every single curve and left little to the imagination -- but she was covered up a tad bit, some strategically placed fringe white feathers added a little classiness to the whole getup ... FWIW.

Julia didn't just stop at the outfit ... she also wore futuristic silver foiled face paint, giving her outfit an otherworldly edge while her blonde locks were rolled into a nice little bun.

JF was absolutely owning it during her posing sesh, too ... using the Parisian streets as her own catwalk show before heading indoors. Never a dull moment with Julia for Fashion Week, especially when it's in Europe, as we've come to learn in recent years.

Of course, Julia's no stranger to pushing the boundaries with her bold style ... but these daring fashion choices might just be a rite of passage for anyone who's dated Kanye West.

You'll recall ... she didn't go so easy on Ye post-romance ... last year she dropped a bombshell in her memoir, "Down the Drain," claiming he used her as a prop during their whirlwind romance that kicked off at the end of 2021.

Julia didn't mince words ... describing her whole experience with him as hollow and meaningless.

While Kanye's been making headlines with his nearly naked outings with Bianca Censori, Julia's been busy carving out her own path by rebranding herself as a feminist icon. She's been using her socials to dish out advice and champion other women.

Of course, with that comes a little something like this every now and then. Girl power!!

Tori Spelling & Dean McDermott Reconnect Amid Separation ... Intense Convo Breaks Out!!!

Tori Spelling and her estranged husband Dean McDermott aren't reunited as a couple, but they're at least on public speaking terms again ... based on some new pics.

The exes were together in a park in Agoura Hills, CA -- it's the first time they've been seen photographed together in nearly a year. Both of them were dressed very casually, and most of the convo seemed pretty chill.

However, there were also what seemed like some tense moments during their chat. Tori and Dean have 5 kids together, so co-parenting issues were likely among the things they discussed.

But, there's plenty more for them to catch up about, too. For instance, Dean moving on ... he's reportedly living with new GF Lily Calo ... while Tori and the kids have moved into a new home, which reportedly rents for $15k/month.

They announced their separation last summer on social media, ending 17 years of marriage.

Since then, Dean has spent time in a sober living facility ... after admitting last November he'd had a drunken altercation with Tori.

In any event ... their public convo seems like a baby step in the right direction.

TORI SPELLING Y DEAN MCDERMOTT SE RECONECTAN EN MEDIO DE LA SEPARACIÓN... ¡Intensa conversación!

Tori Spelling y su marido Dean McDermott no se han reunido como pareja, pero al parecer todavía tienen cosas que solucionar... todo esto basándonos en algunas fotos nuevas.

Los ex estuvieron juntos en un parque en Agoura Hills, California, y es la primera vez que han sido fotografiados juntos en casi un año. Ambos estaban vestidos muy informal y la mayor parte de la conversación parecía bastante relajada.

Sin embargo, también hubo momentos de tensión durante la charla. Tori y Dean tienen 5 hijos juntos, por lo que las cuestiones de co-paternidad fueron probablemente temas delicados a discutir.

Pero tienen muchas cosas más para ponerse al día. Por ejemplo, Dean sigue adelante, se informa que está viviendo con su nueva novia Lily Calo, mientras que Tori y los niños se han mudado a una nueva casa, que al parecer alquila por $15k al mes.

Anunciaron su separación el pasado verano en redes sociales, poniendo fin a 17 años de matrimonio.

Desde entonces, Dean ha pasado tiempo en un centro de vida sobria, después de admitir el pasado noviembre que había tenido un altercado borracho con Tori.

En cualquier caso, su conversación pública parece un paso de bebé en la dirección correcta.

Megan Fox's Ex, Brian Austin Green 'Love Is Blind' Star Can't Compare ... Megan is 'One of a Kind'

Brian Austin Green is officially weighing in on Chelsea Blackwell comparing herself to Megan Fox in the "Love Is Blind" pods -- and even he's cringing over the situation.

Cut Her Some Slack
TMZ.com

We got the "Beverly Hills, 90210" alum at Bristol Farms in Woodland Hills, and the 50-year-old actor told TMZ it wasn't wise of Chelsea to compare herself to his ex-wife. He candidly shared, "It seems like you're opening yourself up to criticism."

ICYMI ... when discussing their physical appearance while on the sight-unseen dating show -- Chelsea informed her future fiancé, Jimmy Presnell, she had previously been compared to the "Jennifer's Body" star.

Infamously, Jimmy did not agree with the comparison upon their first meeting out of the pods.

On whether he feels the comparison has any merit ... Brian told us it was tough to say -- since Megan is a "one-of-a-kind beauty," and "possibly the most beautiful woman in the world."

Brian and Megan were married for 11 years between 2010 and 2021, welcoming 3 children together. He is now engaged to "Dancing With the Stars" alum Sharna Burgess, with whom he shares a son, Zane Walker.

Still, Brian thinks critics should give Chelsea a break, especially since MF won't care one iota about the remark. In fact, the "Anger Management" star told us, "I think Megan would be flattered."

Brian, who just launched a free social media app on the Apple Store called Moviac, encouraged Chelsea not to listen to the haters, which is certainly easier said than done.

He also suggested she avoid making the comparison again. Solid advice, for anyone, really!

Ex de Megan Fox La estrella de "Love is blind" no se debería comparar... Megan es inigualable

Dale un respiro
TMZ.com

Conversamos con el actor de "Beverly Hills, 90210" en Bristol Farms, en Woodland Hills, y el actor de 50 años le dijo a TMZ que no fue prudente que Chelsea se comparara con su ex esposa. Lo dijo con franqueza: "Parece que te estás abriendo a la crítica".

Por si no se enteraron, al hablar de su apariencia física en el programa de citas a ciegas, Chelsea le informó a su futuro prometido Jimmy Presnell, que había sido previamente comparada con la estrella de "Jennifer's Body".

Infamemente, Jimmy no estuvo de acuerdo con la comparación en su primer encuentro.

En cuanto a si la comparación tiene algún mérito, Brian nos dijo que es difícil de decir, ya que Megan es una "belleza única en su tipo" y "posiblemente la mujer más bella del mundo".

Brian y Megan estuvieron casados 11 años entre 2010 y 2021, y tuvieron 3 hijos juntos. Ahora está comprometido con la ex alumna de "Dancing With the Stars" Sharna Burgess, con quien comparte un hijo, Zane Walker.

De todos modos, Brian cree que los críticos deben darle un respiro a Chelsea, sobre todo porque a Megan Fox no le importa un ápice el comentario. De hecho, la estrella de "Anger Management" nos dijo: "Creo que Megan se sentiría halagada".

Brian, que acaba de lanzar una aplicación gratuita de redes sociales en Apple Store llamada Moviac, animó a Chelsea a no escuchar a los haters, lo que de todas maneras es más fácil de decir que de hacer.

También le sugirió que evitara hacer la comparación nuevamente. ¡Sólido consejo, para cualquiera, de verdad!

Joe Jonas The Calm Before the Storm(i) ... Paddleboards With Model

Joe Jonas has moved on from Sophie Turner ... hopping on a yacht with Stormi Bree, and yeah -- they 100% look like a couple now, in case it wasn't already obvious.

The JoBro singer enjoyed a day on the water in Sydney Harbour -- yes, he's in Australia right now with his brothers -- with the model/ex-Miss Teen USA winner ... swimming, stand-up paddleboarding and even enjoying a few beverages onboard.

Joe and Stormi have been spending a bunch of time together ever since he and Sophie divorced. It's easy to see why Joe's into Stormi ... just check out her bikini bod -- it's rockin'!.

While Joe and Stormi enjoyed some quality time together on their paddleboard, this was actually a group outing. Also onboard the yacht ... Nick Jonas and a few other party people.

Stormi's body isn't the only thing that's smoking, BTW... Joe's also lighting one up, puffing away on the deck.

Joe and Stormi got the full Sydney experience -- the yacht took them past two famous landmarks ... the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House, which they documented on social media.

The rumored couple -- who, frankly, are probably/most definitely dating -- is Down Under as the Jonas Brothers continue on their tour in Australia ... making this their third trip together in as many months.

We've previously seen Joe and Sophie hanging out in Los Cabos and going skiing in Aspen. They've also been spotted hobnobbing in other cities -- they're hanging out a ton these days.

Remember ... Joe and Sophie are sharing custody of their kids, and we usually see Joe with Stormi when it's Sophie's turn to parent. Of course, they're in the middle of a divorce too.

Speaking of Sophie ... she's moved on herself, coupling up with British aristocrat Peregrine Pearson.

Kim Kardashian Kanye's Issues with Children Should Be Addressed Privately ... Not On Instagram

Kim Kardashian is upset Kanye West has again resorted to blasting out their disagreements on social media ... and she believes what he's doing is harmful to their children.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Kim is not pleased Kanye went on Insta Wednesday night, telling the world he wanted their kids out of the school they're attending in L.A.

Kanye said, "KIM TAKE MY KIDS OUT OF SIERRA CANYON NOW IT'S A FAKE SCHOOL FOR CELEBRITIES THAT ARE USED BY 'THE SYSTEM'"

Our sources say ... Kim enrolled their kids at the school for 2 very good reasons -- 1. it's a "fantastic school," and 2. their children need consistency in their lives.

One source said, "The only solution Kanye has offered in protest to the school -- that the kids have been at since pre-school -- has been placing them with unaccredited teachers and his own unaccredited Donda school which has been riddled with lawsuits."

The source noted Kim did allow their kids to go to Donda for after-school activities but stopped when the school shut down.

What's more ... we're told Kanye told his kids school isn't necessary, something that has frustrated Kim.

And there's this ... we're told Kanye doesn't see his kids often -- sometimes for months at a time, and Kim believes strongly that their children need consistency ... which is what she is providing for them. Kanye is leading a nomadic life, jumping from Japan, Italy, France, Saudi Arabia, etc., and she is the home base that makes the kids secure.

One source said frankly, "Kim is frustrated with his constant public attacks and naming of the school because it creates safety and security concerns each and every time for their children."

Finally, Kim wants all of these disputes settled privately, and that is actually something Kanye agreed to by signing the divorce settlement ... something he continues to violate.

KIM KARDASHIAN LOS PROBLEMAS DE KANYE CON LOS NIÑOS DEBEN TRATARSE EN PRIVADO... No en Instagram

Kim Kardashian está molesta con Kanye West debido a sus desacuerdos en lo que respecta a redes sociales... y sostiene que esto es perjudicial para los niños.

Fuentes familiarizadas con la situación le dicen a TMZ que Kim no está contenta con la aparición de Kanye del miércoles por la noche, cuando le dijo al mundo que quiere que sus hijos dejen de asistir a su escuela en Los Ángeles.

Kanye dijo: "KIM, SACA A MIS HIJOS DE SIERRA CANYON, AHORA ES UNA ESCUELA FALSA PARA CELEBRIDADES QUE SON USADAS POR 'EL SISTEMA'"

Nuestras fuentes dicen que Kim inscribió a sus hijos en la escuela por dos muy buenas razones. En primer lugar, es una "escuela fantástica", y lo más importante, es que sus hijos necesitan consistencia en sus vidas.

Una fuente dijo: "La única solución que Kanye ha ofrecido en protesta a la escuela -en la que los niños han estado desde preescolar- ha sido colocarlos con profesores no acreditados y en su propia escuela -Donda- la cual no está acreditada y ha estado plagada de demandas".

Nuestra fuente señaló que Kim le permitió a sus hijos a ir a Donda para las actividades extraescolares, pero se detuvo cuando la escuela cerró.

Además, Kanye le dijo a sus hijos que la escuela no es necesaria, algo con lo que Kim no está de acuerdo.

Nos dicen que Kanye no ve a sus hijos a menudo. A veces durante meses, y Kim cree firmemente que sus hijos necesitan consistencia, la cual ella está intentando proporcionar. Kanye lleva una vida nómada, yendo a Japón, Italia, Francia, Arabia Saudí, etc., y ella es la base que sostiene a los niños.

Una fuente dijo: "Kim está frustrada con sus constantes ataques públicos a la escuela porque crea preocupaciones y le genera cierto peligro a los niños".

Finalmente, Kim quiere que todas estas disputas se resuelvan en privado, y eso es algo a lo que Kanye accedió al firmar el acuerdo de divorcio, el cual sigue violando.

Kanye West Le dice a Kim K... Saca a mis hijos del "sistema" escolar!!!

Kanye West sigue quejándose de la escuela de sus hijos y ahora está exigiéndole públicamente a su ex esposa Kim Kardashian que los saque lo antes posible.

El rapero y productor publicó un nuevo post en IG el miércoles por la noche, que ya borró, donde nombra explícitamente a Kim y le dice que saque a sus cuatro hijos de la lujosa escuela privada a la que asisten.

La imagen que publicó decía: "KIM SACA A MIS HIJOS DE SIERRA CANYON AHORA ES UNA ESCUELA FALSA PARA CELEBRIDADES QUE SON USADAS POR 'EL SISTEMA".

Su pie de foto era igual de revelador. Este decía: "A estas alturas todo el mundo sabe lo que "el sistema" es, es la palabra clave por la que el sistema me apartó de mis hijos".

Kanye West continuó diciendo: "Cuando el sistema recluta atletas, evita trabajar con los que tienen a sus padres en sus vidas porque son más difíciles de manipular. Mis dos mayores saben quién es su papá".

Kanye sonaba firme en su postura aquí, pero como hemos dicho, rápidamente lo borró, probablemente después de una llamada de Kim y sus abogados, suponemos. Sin embargo, es bastante obvio que esto representa en un 100% cómo se siente y sí parece que de nuevo se está inclinando hacia el antisemitismo.

Sabemos de hecho que Kanye ha despotricado contra las escuelas de "adoctrinamiento judío" y también que se ha quejado de que sus hijos vayan a una institución que él considera que es exactamente esto.

Así que sí, su referencia no muy sutil a lo que él considera "el sistema" va más allá de solo el lenguaje codificado, es básicamente un megáfono y ha expresado sus emociones muy abiertamente.

Tiempo de calidad con North en Dubái

Lo que es interesante aquí, sin embargo, es el hecho de que Ye está señalando a dos de sus hijos específicamente y sugiriendo que aman a su padre, a saber, North West y Saint West. Hemos visto a North pasando mucho tiempo con su padre últimamente y Saint también aparece por aquí y por allá de vez en cuando.

Normalmente, no vemos a los niños más pequeños Chicago y Psalm con su padre, y él ha admitido que Kim tiene a sus hijos alrededor del 80% del tiempo de la custodia.

Suena como que Ye está refunfuñando por eso y tal vez siente que no tiene tanto control como le gustaría.

Kanye West Tells Kim K ... Take Our Kids Outta 'System' School!!!

Kanye West continues to gripe about where his kids go to school -- publicly demanding his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, take them out ASAP ... and he's dog-whistling again.

The rapper/producer threw up a new IG post Wednesday night and he name-dropped Kim explicitly with a strong request ... namely, calling her out and telling her to take their 4 children out of the ritzy private school they all go to.

The image he posted read, "KIM TAKE MY KIDS OUT OF SIERRA CANYON NOW IT'S A FAKE SCHOOL FOR CELEBRITIES THAT ARE USED BY 'THE SYSTEM."

His caption was just as telling -- with Ye adding, "At this point everybody knows what "the system" is code word for 👀 I was removed from my dad by the system and the system removed me from my children."

KW continued ... "When the system drafts athletes they avoid working with those who have their father in their life because they are harder to manipulate. My two oldest know they daddy is."

Kanye sounded firm in his stance here, but like we said ... he quickly yanked this down -- probably after a call from Kim and her lawyers, we presume. Still, it's pretty obvious this is 100% how he feels ... and yes, he again seems to be leaning into antisemitism.

We know for a fact that Kanye has railed against "Jewish indoctrinated" schools... and we also know he's griped about his kids going to an institution he considers to be exactly this.

So, yeah -- his not-to-subtle reference to what he considers "the system" is beyond just coded language ... it's basically a bullhorn, and he's wearing his sentiments on his sleeve.

What's interesting here, though, is the fact that Ye is pinpointing two of his kids specifically and suggesting they love their dad ... namely, North West and Saint West. We've been seeing North hang out with her dad a lot lately -- and Saint pops up here and there too.

Kylie Jenner & Travis Scott Selling Bev Hills Home Again ... Major Price Drop Alert!!!

Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner are once again trying to unload their Beverly Hills palace -- and this time, they've slashed the price big time ... which might tickle somebody's fancy.

The ex-couple's first property together -- which they purchased in 2018 for a steal at $13.4 million -- is back on the market anew ... only now, they're listing it for just under $18 million. The exact price is $17,995,000 ... for anyone who's a stickler the specifics.

Mind you ... this is quite the drop from what they were hoping for when they first tried selling this pad in 2022. At the time, their asking price was $21.9 million ... but they had no takers, so they dropped it down to $19.99 mil back in March of last year.

TS and KJ still weren't able to get rid of the pad -- and the listing ended up getting removed entirely around September ... but now, it's cropped up again, with a 10% markdown.

Whether it's $21M or $17M ... whoever ends up taking this off their hands is in for a whole lot of house -- it's got 7 bedrooms, 11 baths with over 9,000 square feet of living space.

In terms of perks, it's got a ton ... a private movie theater, a billiard room, a gym, a massage room, and, yes, a pool as well. Remember, this is Kylie and Travis' first home together -- but obviously, they're not together anymore ... so they don't really need this house in the mix.

Kylie's got several other properties in her portfolio ... Travis is doing just fine as well. 'Million Dollar Listing' stars Josh and Matt Altman of Douglas Elliman and Adam Rosenfeld of The Agency hold the listing.

KYLIE JENNER Y TRAVIS SCOTT VENTA DE SU CASA DE BEVERLY HILLS ¡Le han bajado el precio!

Travis Scott y Kylie Jenner están una vez más tratando de deshacerse de su palacio de Beverly Hills, y esta vez han rebajado el precio a lo grande, lo que podría acelerar las cosas.

La primera propiedad de la ex pareja juntos -que compraron en 2018 por una ganga de $13.4 millones- está de vuelta en el mercado... solo que ahora lo están listando por poco menos de $18 millones. El precio exacto es de $17.995.000.

Eso sí, esto es bastante la caída de lo que esperaban cuando por primera vez trató de vender la propiedad en 2022. En ese momento, su precio de venta era de $21.9 millones, pero no tenían interesados, por lo que bajó a $19.99 millones en marzo del año pasado.

Travis y Kylie todavía no eran capaces de deshacerse del lugar y el listado terminó siendo eliminado por completo alrededor de septiembre, pero ahora, ha surgido de nuevo, con una rebaja del 10%.

Ya sean $21M o $17M, quien termine comprando la propiedad estará más que satisfecho, el lugar cuenta con 7 dormitorios, 11 baños y más de 9.000 pies cuadrados de espacio habitable.

Además, cuenta con un cine privado, una sala de billar, un gimnasio, una sala de masajes y sí, una piscina. Recuerde, esta es la primera casa de Kylie y Travis juntos, pero obviamente ya no lo están, esa es justamente la razón por la que ya no necesitan semejante mansión.

Kylie tiene varias otras propiedades, y a Travis también le va bien. Las estrellas de "Million Dollar Listing" Josh y Matt Altman de Douglas Elliman y Adam Rosenfeld de The Agency mantienen el listado.

Olivia Wilde Shows Off Revenge Bod In NSFW Look at Paris Fashion Week

Olivia Wilde had all eyes on her at the YSL fashion show in Paris ... this as she put her body on full display with a bodysuit that showed off what she's working with upstairs.

Check out these photos of the director/actress confidently striking a pose Tuesday while attending a runway show for the Parisian fashion house -- beaming while wearing the black, see-through look on the red carpet. Yes, her breasts are visible in the sheer outfit.

There were other stars at this event too, BTW ... but Olivia was definitely the highlight.

The "House" alum paired the racy item with dark leather gloves, tinted shades and sexy pumps -- only further highlighting her spicy outfit ... and even spicier attitude.

Hard to tell what her intention here was ... but Olivia seems to be telegraphing that she ain't afraid to put it all out there in the aftermath of her high-profile splits from exes Jason Sudeikis and Harry Styles -- both of whom have moved on to new relationships.

ICYMI ... the 39-year-old actress split from longtime love Jason in 2020 ... after welcoming two children together over the course of their 9-year relationship. The "Ted Lasso" creator has since been linked to actresses Keeley Hazell and Elsie Hewitt.

Olivia then infamously dated the One Direction singer while working on her psychological thriller starring Florence Pugh.

Of course, as TMZ previously reported ... Olivia and Harry called it quits in November 2022 -- although, Harry still had an "Olivia" tattoo on his thigh as recently as July.

Nonetheless ... we don't anticipate a reconciliation between 'em any time soon -- Harry has been dating actress Taylor Russell since last summer. As for Olivia, she's looking real single right now ... and pretty good too, if we might say so ourselves.

Alexis Bellino 'RHOC' Wanted Her Back Before She Started Dating Shannon's Ex

Alexis Bellino dating Shannon Beador's former flame makes for some juicy 'RHOC' storylines ... but it's not the main reason she's coming back to the reality TV show.

Sources connected to the show tell TMZ … Alexis was already in talks with 'RHOC' producers to return to the show before she started dating Shannon's ex, John Janssen.

While Alexis' return and her new relationship with John seem intertwined, we're told it's just coincidental ... because by the time they started dating in Dec. 2023, Alexis was pretty deep in negotiations to come back.

TMZ broke the story ... Alexis is returning for the upcoming season as a friend of the show, more than a decade after walking away from 'RHOC' in 2013 as a fan fave.

Our sources say Heather Dubrow is a big reason Alexis is coming back.

Alexis and Heather infamously had a nasty falling out on 'RHOC' back in the day, but we're told in the last couple years they've rekindled their friendship.

Sources say Heather's been in the ear of show producers for years, suggesting they consider bringing Alexis back into the fold ... with Heather even pushing for Alexis' return as recently as last season.

Britney Spears Thanks Janet Jackson on Social Media ... Shot at Justin Timberlake???

Britney Spears is showing some love to the great Janet Jackson on Instagram ... while her feud with Justin Timberlake rages on.

The singer-songwriter wrote a loving tribute to JJ in a since deleted Instagram post, thanking Janet for breathing continued life into her dreams while saying she's always looked up to her.

She wrote the emotional message on a screengrab of Jackson' self-titled album, "Janet" released back in 1993.

While it might have just been an innocuous tribute post to another music legend, Britney's got some common ground with Janet ... in that Justin Timberlake won't apologize to either of them.

020124_justin_timberlake-kal 1/31/24
no apologies given
Instagram/@gilbertohoraa

Remember ... during a show in New York City at the end of last month, Justin told the crowd he was going to apologize to "absolutely f***ing nobody" before singing "Cry Me A River" -- a clear dig at Brit, but Janet fans assumed that meant her as well.

Justin and Janet will be forever linked for their fateful 2004 Super Bowl Halftime show where Justin ripped Jackson's costume revealing one of her breasts to the crowd -- something he chalked up to an accident at the time.

However, he apologized to both Britney and Janet back in 2021 ... after the documentary "Framing Britney Spears" aired on Hulu, saying he had inadvertently benefited from misogynistic institutions and felt he needed to say sorry for that.

Of course, Britney and Justin have been on especially bad terms after the fake-out apology ... with Spears basically calling Timberlake a crybaby in a basketball-related post.

Maybe Britney's trying to collect allies in her war with JT ... or maybe she's just sending love to a fellow artist.

Either way, Britney's post certainly got fans' eyebrows raised.
