Chappell Roan shared a sweet tribute to Brigitte Bardot after the French film legend died over the weekend ... and she yanked it from Instagram just as fast after the singer learned more about the controversial icon.

Here's the deal ... Brigitte died at the age of 91 -- and among those who shared their sorrow was Chappell, who wrote ... "She was my inspiration for 'Red Wine Supernova.' Rest in peace, Ms. Bardot."

Seems CR was only aware of Brigitte as a French blonde bombshell and her tireless work to protect animals ... and not so much about her outspoken xenophobia and homophobia.

Clearly, word got back to Chappell ... and she replaced the tribute with a mea culpa, writing "Holy s---. I did not know all that insane s--- Ms. Bardot stood for. Obvs, I do not condone this. Very disappointing to learn."

We're back, did you miss us?! You've only got a few more days until 2026 is officially here, but before you say goodbye to this year, we've got some hot shots marinating for ya! Let's start with this sexy singer ... can you guess who she is?

She loves the ocean ... before music, she studied marine biology!

"Kill Bill!"

Britney Spears doesn't seem to be in the holiday spirits ... it appears she took a shot at her family for their Christmas get together without her.

The pop star posted a scathing message on Instagram Sunday, seemingly directing her angst at her sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, Jamie Lynn's husband, Jamie Watson, their daughters Maddie and Ivey, as well as her mother, Lynne Spears, and her oldest son, Sean Preston, whom she shares with ex-husband Kevin Federline.

Brit wrote, “Merry late Christmas to my beautiful family who have never disrespected me, harmed me, ever done anything completely unacceptable or caused unbelievable trauma, the kind you can’t fix. To my dear sweet innocent family… so so sorry I was busy this Christmas but I will definitely show up and surprise you soon.”

Earlier in the week, Jamie Lynn and the others posed for a Spears family holiday pic, which she uploaded to her IG account. It was this photo that apparently rubbed Brit the wrong way, prompting her angry response.

Following the tragic death of Mickey Lee, an eerie video from her "Big Brother" season has resurfaced, showing her recapping an ominous palm reading she'd received.

In the video ... Mickey jokes that fellow houseguest Ava Pearl -- who tells fortunes by reading palms -- told her she had a short lifeline ... indicating that she would die young.

Mickey recounts that when she asked Ava, "Wait, am I going to die?" Ava responded, "Wait. Maybe that's not the right line."

Houseguest Ashley Hollis added that Ava awkwardly digressed by saying, "'Um, you know ... Let me do Ashley's.'"

While it gave the reality stars a good laugh at the time, it now gives a very serious sense of doom.
