If Fantasia Barrino wanted a better picture of herself on the cover of JET Magazine, she should've given the magazine better pictures ... this according to JET magazine.

JET is defending its decision to use a 10 year old photo of Fantasia on the cover of this month's mag ... after Barrino TRASHED the cover on social media this week.

In her social media rant, Barrino says she's trying to separate herself from her old image and create a new look for herself ... and expected JET to work with her. After seeing the cover, Fantasia felt deceived ...and demanded a public apology.

But a rep for JET tells TMZ the mag has NOTHING to apologize for ... claiming the photo it used was deemed "most appropriate for JET's brand and reflective of the cover story sentiment. "

The rep says Fantasia's rep had sent over a series of pics she had hoped the mag would use, but editors felt Barrino's face was too obstructed and didn't meet the standards of a JET cover.

JET magazine says despite Fantasia's comments, it has no hard feelings toward the singer ... adding, "JET continues to root for Fantasia's success and encourages her fans to pick up the new issue."

O knows how to OWN a look.

TMZ now has clear photos of Britney Spears' new maybe boyfriend ... but the question ... does he have what it takes to date the Princess of Pop?

We spoke to several people who know David Lucado ... and they gave us a bunch of info. For starters, Dave's originally from Appomattox, Virginia. He was a great student growing up and he loves golf.

He moved to Atlanta after high school ... and recently moved to L.A. for a girl -- but we're told that relationship ended a few months ago, so David's totally single.

Everyone we spoke to said the same thing -- David is a well-liked, all-around fun-loving guy ... and it's totally unexpected that he'd date Britney Spears.

We're told David insists he and Britney are still just friends -- despite a romantic Valentine's Day dinner -- but we still gotta ask ...

Good thing body checking's legal in hockey ... because Wayne Gretzky's smoking hot daughter Paulina showed off her overflowing bosom last night in L.A. ... and everyone was looking.

24-year-old Paulina's breasts made their appearance at Bootsy Bellows nightclub -- somehow strapped inside a tiny red dress.

Remind us ... what's the penalty for high-sticking?

Rihanna turned 25 years old yesterday ... and she celebrated by throwing on one of her smallest bikinis and hitting a jet ski in Hawaii ... with Chris Brown.

Let there be no doubt ... Kate Middleton is ROYALLY pregnant -- and to prove it, she finally revealed her fetal protuberance while making an appearance in London yesterday.

She's back!!!!! Robin Roberts returned to her anchor chair on "Good Morning America" on Wednesday ... her first day in her old job since undergoing a bone marrow transplant to treat a blood disorder.

And the best part -- she was greeted with welcome back messages from Barack and Michelle Obama, Oprah and Hillary Clinton!!

With a big ol' smile on her face, Roberts told the audience ... "I have been waiting 174 days to say this: 'Good Morning America.'"

As for the First Family ... Michelle O told Roberts, "Robin, we just want you to know that the whole Obama family, we've been thinking about you and praying for you and rooting for you every step of the way."

Roberts was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) last year ... but says she's determined to beat it.

More impressive ... the pics were shot BEFORE Colin replaced starting QB Alex Smith.

With her baby bump under wraps, former "Sopranos" star Jamie Lynn Sigler left a dinner date in L.A. last night with the man responsible for her fetus ... Lenny Dykstra's son Cutter.

The 31-year-old actress just announced the pregnancy last week -- and confirmed the kid belongs to her 23-year-old fiance, who's a minor league baseball player.

Cutter Dykstra -- who was drafted in 2008 -- was clutching some cash on his way out of Craig's ... which is a good sign, considering there were rumors that his financial disaster of a father stole his $700,000 signing bonus. Cutter has previously claimed the rumors were completely false.

Hayden Panettiere is soooo banging her ex-boyfriend Wladimir Klitschko -- just like we predicted weeks ago -- and TMZ finally has the rock-solid proof we've been waiting for ... sort of.

You'll recall, we talked to Hayden back in January at LAX -- where she insisted she and the 6'6" Ukrainian boxing champ were "just good buddies." But we had a hunch it was MUCH more than that.

And now we have the PROOF (kind of) ... because photos were snapped yesterday in Hollywood, Florida ... where the probably-back-together couple was seen cuddling on a couch at Taco Beach Shack.

Specifically in the pics ... Hayden is all smiles (and lookin' super hot) while holding Wlad's hand ... his arm is wrapped tightly around her body ... and there's obvious sexual tension.

"Splash" -- formerly known as "Celebrity Diving" -- seems like just another reality TV show ... until you see Katherine Webb in a bathing suit.

The former Miss Alabama USA -- famous for her cameo at the BCS National Championship this year -- donned the magenta monokini earlier today while filming a show segment in L.A..

Rockin' her best Kate Gosselin soccer mom chic, Britney Spears didn't need a conservator when she hit up a Los Angeles supermarket this weekend ... because she had a grocery list to help her remember what she needs, y'all.

Included in the 31-year-old mother of two's list were: ginger ale, tomatoes, Lunchables, ham, orange juice, 2% milk, Smart popcorn, bread and chicken.

Boy George is half the androgynous man he used to be ... and looks amazing.

The 51-year-old former Culture Club front man -- who has struggled with his weight in the past -- has dropped a bunch of chins and tweeted a pic of his shocking new skinnier look on Sunday.

The slimmer Karma Chameleon also revealed he achieved the dramatic weight loss through portion control and working with a nutritionist.

Boy can finally tumble 4 ya again.

It's hard to wrap your head around how well Valerie Harper has aged.

Here's Bethenny Frankel the 36-year-old "Rhoda" star back in 1976 (left) -- and 37 years later, the 73-year-old "Valerie" (which later became "The Hogan Family") star in L.A. this week (right).

She's irreplaceable.

Supermodels Naomi Campbell, Karolina Kurkova and Coco Rocha struck a pose at an event for the premiere of their new model competition show "The Face" recently.

Question is ...

"Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Paul Nassif tells TMZ, he's only been dating his smoking hot 27-year-old beauty queen girlfriend for SIX WEEKS -- which squarely contradicts a report he was banging the girl while still with his wife Adrienne Maloof.

Reports circulated Paul has been dating former Miss Nevada USA Helen Salas since April last year -- four months before Paul filed for divorce in August.

But last night, as Paul and Helen arrived to The Ivy for dinner, the couple told us they only met 6 weeks ago ... several months after the divorce filing.

As for Adrienne ... she's also dating a much younger person -- Rod Stewart's 32-year-old son Sean Stewart.
