Britney Spears' feud with her sister Jamie Lynn is spilling into the "Dancing With the Stars" ballroom because Brit's fans are campaigning hard to take down JL ... and her dance partner is caught in the crossfire.
It's a total war zone on social media for Jamie Lynn and her pro dance partner, Alan Bersten, whose only offense is getting paired with the "Zoey 101" star.
Jamie Lynn made her first appearance on 'DWTS' Tuesday, and she's getting horrible reviews ... at least from Britney's legion of fans.
Folks are calling for Jamie Lynn to be voted out ASAP, ripping her for having "no class" and accusing her of abusing Britney and throwing her sister under the bus.
One user even says JL "looks like Ted Cruz with blonde hair." Ouch.
As for Alan ... Britney's fans say he has no shot at winning because he's chained to Jamie Lynn, and some are hoping he purposely drops her mid-dance. Oof!
Britney supporters are also wondering why 'DWTS' would even cast Jamie Lynn in the first place ... naturally, they would rather see Britney showing off her dance moves.
Of course, 'DWTS' producers would love to see Britney show up to support her sis, but, as it stands, there's a better chance of a snowball fight breaking out in hell.

Plus ... after dancing with knives, Britney has much bigger issues to deal with right now.

Charlie Puth is picking up the street performer who was left to pick up his piano when a woman smashed it to the ground ... offering words of encouragement and a special invite.
The "We Don't Talk Anymore" singer reached out to Andrew Hsu, the Georgia street performer from a recent viral video, messaging him over the incident.
TMZ obtained the DMs Charlie and Andrew exchanged ... with Charlie telling Andrew, "I'm sorry that bull s*** happened to you ... Don't let it ever discourage you from performing, I know it won't ... But that video just upset me so much. You're a wonderful player and I wish you nothing but success and constant musical inspiration."
Andrew thanks Charlie for the kind words, tells him he's not going to give up performing, shares how he went to Charlie's show in Georgia and says he hopes to meet him and Billy Joel.
As we reported ... video shows Andrew playing Billy's anthem, "Piano Man," in Athens, GA when a rude woman comes up and smashes his piano to the ground. Andrew also accused her of stealing from his tip jar, and she eventually apologized after tons of backlash.
Charlie says he can't really set Andrew up with Billy, who apparently doesn't have a cell phone, but he says he would love for Andrew to come to one of his future shows.
Andrew tells TMZ ... since the video went viral, tons of folks requested to donate to a new piano ... and he put his Venmo on social media and got $2,000 in just two days, earmarking the money for a new keyboard and keyboard stand.
So, it seems like this story has a happy ending for Athens' piano man.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are clearly two people comfortable with each other ... as Taylor draped her arm around the NFL stud's neck following his big team win Sunday.
Check out the pic, obtained by TMZ, showing Taylor very casually hanging on Travis as they spoke to Kelce's friends at a private party at Prime Social in Kansas City, Missouri.
Travis appears to be looking down, while Taylor engages in some conversation standing next to him.
As you can see, they were they were very comfortable holding court with TC's inner circle.
Travis reportedly rented out the rooftop restaurant/bar -- which is one of KC's trendiest spots -- to keep the party going with close friends, family and Chiefs teammates.
As we first told you, Travis and Taylor's first rendezvous didn't come Sunday at the game ... our sources say they've actually hung out several times, just in more intimate settings.
SEPTEMBER 2023
The photo marks the first time we've seen the two together outside of Arrowhead Stadium. Remember, Travis and Taylor walked out of the locker room area together Sunday and into his waiting convertible to leave Sunday's big win for the KC Chiefs.
Taylor's yet to say anything publicly about her situation with Kelce, but Travis spilled a bit Wednesday on his podcast "New Heights" ... calling T. Swift "pretty ballsy" for showing up to the game and hanging with his mom.
Lucky for Taylor, Travis caught a touchdown during the matchup -- something he does often -- but this one felt a little more special.

Britney Spears Sus fans destrozan el debut de Jamie Lynn en 'DWTS' ... Y a su compañero de baile
La disputa de Britney Spears con su hermana Jamie Lynn se está extendiendo a la sala de baile de "Dancing With the Stars" porque los fans de Brit están haciendo una dura campaña para derribar a JL... y su pareja de baile está en medio del fuego cruzado.
Es una zona de guerra total en las redes sociales para Jamie Lynn y su pareja de baile Alan Bersten, cuyo único delito es estar emparejado con la estrella de "Zoey 101".
Jamie Lynn hizo su primera aparición en 'DWTS' el martes y ya está recibiendo críticas horribles, al menos de la legión de fans de Britney.
La gente está pidiendo que Jamie Lynn sea expulsada lo antes posible, criticándola por no tener "clase" y acusándola de abusar de Britney y criticarla mientras está tan vulnerable.
Un usuario incluso dice que JL "parece Ted Cruz con el pelo rubio". Ouch.
En cuanto a Alan, los fans de Britney dicen que no tiene ninguna posibilidad de ganar porque está encadenado a Jamie Lynn y algunos están esperando que la deje caer a propósito en la mitad del baile. ¡Uf!
Los seguidores de Britney también se preguntan por qué 'DWTS' elegiría a Jamie Lynn en primer lugar, naturalmente, prefieren ver a Britney mostrando sus movimientos de baile.
Por supuesto, a los productores de 'DWTS' les encantaría que Britney se apareciera para apoyar a su hermana, pero tal y como están las cosas, hay más posibilidades de que se desate una pelea como una bola de nieve hasta el infierno.

Además, después de bailar con cuchillos, Britney tiene asuntos mucho más importantes con los que lidiar en este momento.

Charlie Puth está apoyando al artista callejero que tuvo que recoger su piano cuando una mujer lo lanzó contra el suelo, ofreciéndole palabras de aliento y una invitación especial.
El cantante de "We Don't Talk Anymore" se acercó a Andrew Hsu, el artista callejero de Georgia protagonista de un reciente video viral y le envió un mensaje sobre el incidente.
TMZ obtuvo el DMs entre Charlie y Andrew, en donde Charlie le dice: "Siento mucho que esa m*** te pasara. No dejes que nada te desanime a actuar, sé que no pasará, pero el video me disgustó mucho. Eres un músico maravilloso y solo te deseo éxito e inspiración musical constante".
Andrew agradeció a Charlie por sus amables palabras y le dijo que no iba a renunciar a sus actuaciones en la calle. También le contó de cuando fue a uno de sus shows en Georgia y le dijo que espera reunirse con él y Billy Joel.
Como informamos, el video muestra a Andrew tocando una canción de Billy Joel en la calle en Atenas, Georgia, cuando una mujer grosera se acerca y bota su piano al suelo. Andrew también la acusó de robarse su tarro de propinas, y eventualmente ella se disculpó después de recibir toneladas de reacciones en su contra.
Charlie dice que realmente no puede organizar un encuentro entre Andrew y Billy, quien aparentemente no tiene teléfono celular, pero dice que le encantaría que Andrew viniera a uno de sus shows la próxima vez que esté en EE.UU..
Andrew le dice a TMZ que desde que el video se hizo viral, toneladas de personas se ofrecieron a donar dinero para un nuevo piano. Él puso su Venmo en las redes sociales y consiguió $2,000 en solo dos días, suma que destinará para un nuevo teclado y soporte.
Así que parece que esta historia sí tiene un final feliz para el hombre del piano.

Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce están muy cómodos el uno con el otro. Pudimos ver cómo Taylor cubrió su brazo alrededor del cuello del semental de la NFL después de la gran victoria del equipo el domingo.
Échale un vistazo a la foto obtenida por TMZ que muestra a Taylor muy casualmente colgando de Travis mientras hablaban con los amigos de Kelce en una fiesta privada en Prime Social en Kansas City, Missouri. Travis parece estar mirando hacia abajo, mientras que Taylor participa en una conversación de pie junto a él.
Como te contamos por primera vez, la primera cita de Travis y Taylor no fue el domingo en el partido, nuestras fuentes dicen que en realidad han salido varias veces, solo que en ambientes más íntimos.
SEPTEMBER 2023
La foto marca la primera vez que hemos visto a los dos juntos fuera del estadio Arrowhead. Recordemos que Travis y Taylor salieron juntos de la zona de vestuarios el domingo y entraron en el descapotable de él que les esperaba para abandonar la gran victoria del domingo.
Taylor aún no ha dicho nada públicamente sobre su situación con Kelce, pero Travis mencionó algo el miércoles en su podcast "New Heights", llamando a Swift "bastante atrevida" por aparecer en el juego y pasar el rato con su mamá.
Por suerte para Taylor, Travis atrapó un touchdown durante el partido (algo que hace a menudo), pero éste se sentía un poco más especial.

Bam Margera Gets Britney Spears-Inspired Tat ... We've Been Through Similar Battles

Exclusive
- 2.8K shares
Bam Margera got some fresh, new ink while on the road to recovery, and this piece pays homage to Britney Spears ... someone with whom he says he has alarming similarities.
The former "Jackass" star hit up First Hand Tattoo in Pennsylvania and got the Brit-inspired tattoo, which reads, "Britney Spears ❤️ Oops they did it to me too!"
He says the meaning behind it is all about the "Florida shuffle" -- a phrase used to describe substance abusers with good health insurance in the Sunshine State. They're constantly sent to various rehab centers which repeatedly charge their insurance.
Bam says that describes him to a T, and points to Britney's time in her conservatorship as being painfully similar to what's been going down with him -- he's dragging his interventionalist for allegedly cashing in by keeping Bam in rehab.
Bam says he's done "the Guinness book of world records of longest Florida shuffle of nearly 2 years" ... which includes 10 back-to-back rehab stays that cost a total of $660,000.00.
He adds he's sick of the "controlling c***suckers that act like they care for your well-being when it's all about money."
BTW, this isn't the first time he's compared himself to Britney -- he called himself "the Britney Spears of 'Jackass'" while working on standup material with Steve-O earlier this year.
As we reported, Bam recently celebrated being 1 month sober after going in and out of rehab this year, and sources told us he's been spending his time with his girlfriend, Dannii, on a farm outside Philadelphia.
We were told he's been losing weight, getting back into skateboarding and has kept a tight circle of positive influences around him ... all good things for the guy.

Bam Margera se hizo un nuevo tatuaje mientras se recuperaba, rindiendo homenaje a Britney Spears, alguien con quien afirma que comparte algunas alarmantes similitudes.
La ex estrella de "Jackass" fue a First Hand Tattoo en Pennsylvania y se hizo un tatuaje inspirado en Brit que dice: "Britney Spears ❤️ ¡Uy, me lo hicieron a mí también!"
Dice que el significado detrás de todo esto es el "Florida shuffle", un término que se utiliza para describir a los adictos a sustancias que tienen un buen seguro de salud en el estado. Estos son enviados constantemente a diversos centros de rehabilitación que cobran repetidamente su seguro.
Bam dice que eso lo describe perfectamente y señala que el tiempo que pasó Britney bajo tutela es dolorosamente parecido a lo que ha estado viviendo. Él está acusando a su intervencionista de supuestamente sacar provecho al mantenerlo en rehabilitación.
Bam dice que ha hecho "el libro Guinness de los récords mundiales por la más larga lista de internaciones en Florida en casi dos años", que incluyen diez estancias de rehabilitación consecutivas que costaron un total de 660.000 dólares.
Añade que está harto de los "hijos de puta controladores que actúan como si se preocuparan por su bienestar cuando todo es cuestión de dinero".
Por cierto, esta no es la primera vez que Bam se compara con Britney. Se llamó a sí mismo "la Britney Spears de 'Jackass'", mientras trabajaba en material de standup con Steve-O a principios de este año.
Como informamos, Bam celebró recientemente estar 1 mes sobrio después de entrar y salir de rehabilitación este año, y fuentes nos dijeron que ha estado pasando su tiempo con su novia (Dannii) en una granja en las afueras de Filadelfia.
Nos dijeron que ha estado perdiendo peso, que ha vuelto al skate y que ha mantenido un estrecho círculo de influencias positivas a su alrededor, todas cosas buenas para el chico.

Taylor Swift is really digging Travis Kelce ... because she's expected back at his next NFL game.
Sources confirm to TMZ … as of now, Taylor is expected to attend Sunday's game between Travis' Kansas City Chiefs and the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
We're told Taylor's team is still working out security logistics with MetLife Stadium, where she played a huge concert earlier this summer on her "Eras" tour.
Taylor would be going back for seconds ... she went to the Chiefs game last Sunday, watching Travis score a touchdown from a private suite with his family. It was the first time she went to one of his games since they started hanging out, and the first time she met his parents.
The NFL schedule is lining up perfectly for Taylor and Travis ... his team is playing on the road against the Jets, across the river from New York City ... where Taylor owns a place.
TMZ broke the story ... Taylor and Travis got super cozy with one another after last Sunday's game, she was draping her arm around his neck while they chatted at the private party he set up.
As we first reported ... the singer and NFL stud have hung out several times before, but in more intimate settings than a football stadium.
They walked out of Arrowhead Stadium together after last Sunday's Chiefs win over the Chicago Bears, driving off in a convertible ... so it will be interesting to see how they top that this week.

Joe Jonas Labores de padre en Nueva York
Joe Jonas y Sophie Turner siguen peleando en los tribunales por la custodia de sus dos hijas pequeñas. Pero eso no impide que cualquiera de los dos pueda pasar un buen momento con ellas, como bien lo demuestra Joe en Nueva York.
En la foto, vemos a Joe subiendo a Willa, de 3 años de edad, en un SUV el miércoles en la Gran Manzana. Se nos dice que los dos se dirigían a una fiesta de cumpleaños, aunque no está claro a quién estaban celebrando. No hay rastro de Delphine, la hija de 1 año de Joe y Sophie, pero es posible que estuviera con su mamá.
Es la primera vez que vemos a Joe a solas con cualquiera de las niñas desde que Sophie lo demandara por la custodia. En sus documentos, Sophie alegó que Joe se negaba a darle el permiso para llevarse a las niñas al Reino Unido, a pesar de un acuerdo previo, y que supuestamente escondió sus pasaportes.
Joe argumentó que solo estaba haciendo lo que había ordenado un juez y declaró que las niñas no podían ser trasladadas en medio del proceso de divorcio.
TMZ dio la noticia, el juez finalmente falló a favor de Joe, declarando que ninguno de los padres puede llevar a Willa o Delphine fuera del área metropolitana de Nueva York.
También fuimos los primeros en informar sobre la afirmación del abogado de Joe, de que Sophie quiere trasladar el caso de divorcio al Reino Unido. Pero esa decisión aún no se ha tomado.
Joe Jonas Daddy Duty in NYC
Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner continue to duke it out in court over custody of their two young daughters -- but that's not stopping either from spending some quality time with their girls -- as evidenced by Joe out in NYC.
Joe loaded 3-year-old Willa into a waiting SUV Wednesday in The Big Apple, we're told the two were headed out to a birthday party, though it's unclear who was celebrating. No sign of Joe and Sophie's 1-year-old, Delphine, but it's possible she was with Mom.
It's the first time we've Joe out solo with either of the kids since Sophie sued him over custody. In her documents, Sophie claimed Joe was refusing to allow her to take the girls to the UK, despite a prior agreement, and he allegedly hid their passports.
Joe argued he was only doing what was ordered by a judge, and stated the kids could not be relocated in the middle of the divorce proceedings.
TMZ broke the story, the judge eventually ruled with Joe, stating neither parent could take Willa or Delphine out of the greater NYC area.
We were also the first to report Joe's attorney's claim Sophie wanted to move the divorce case to the United Kingdom ... but that decision hasn't yet been made.

Taylor Swift was already at the "meet the parents" stage of her relationship with Travis Kelce ... and it turns out she's getting cool with his buddies, too -- 'cause Patrick Mahomes just revealed he got to chop it up with the singer at the tight end's postgame party on Sunday.
The Kansas City Chiefs superstar was asked about Kelce's recent super VIP guest at Arrowhead Stadium after practice on Wednesday ... and while he initially said days ago he hadn't met Swift yet -- that has since changed following TK's shindig at Prime Social in K.C.
"Yeah, I met her," Mahomes told local reporters. "She's really cool, good people."
But Patrick wasn't super chatty about the subject ... echoing Kelce and saying he's going to keep it to talkin' football moving forward.
"But like Trav said, man, I'm going to let them have their privacy and just keep it moving," the two-time MVP added.
As we previously reported, Swift and Kelce -- who hung out a few times in intimate settings before Sunday's game -- were a bit closer at the postgame party ... with TS putting her arm around the four-time first-team All-Pro's neck.
Travis has since opened up about Taylor during his "New Heights" podcast ... calling her "ballsy" for hitting up the game with his fam and deeming it a day he will never forget.

Patrick Mahomes Conocí a Taylor en la fiesta de Travis ... "Es buena persona"
Taylor Swift ya estaba en la etapa de "conocer a los padres" en su relación con Travis Kelce y ahora resulta que está conociendo a sus amigos también, porque Patrick Mahomes acaba de revelar que pudo conversar con ella en la fiesta posterior al partido del domingo.
La superestrella de los Kansas City Chiefs fue consultado sobre la reciente invitada súper VIP de Kelce en el estadio Arrowhead, después de la práctica del miércoles, y aunque hace algunos días contaba que aún no había conocido a Swift, eso ha cambiado desde entonces.
"Sí, la conocí", dijo Mahomes a los periodistas locales. "Es genial, buena persona".
Pero Patrick no fue súper hablador sobre el tema, haciendo eco de Kelce y diciendo que iba a dejarlo hasta ahí para hablar de fútbol en adelante.
"Pero como Trav dijo, voy a dejar que tengan su privacidad y solo mantenerlo en movimiento", agregó el dos veces MVP.
Como informamos anteriormente, Swift y Kelce, que salieron un par de veces en ambientes íntimos antes del partido del domingo, estaban un poco más cerca en la fiesta posterior al partido, con Taylor poniendo su brazo alrededor del cuello del cuatro veces All-Pro del primer equipo.
Travis se abrió sobre Taylor en su podcast "New Heights", donde se refirió a ella como "valiente" por asistir al juego con su familia y considerándolo un día que nunca olvidará.

Usher's upcoming Super Bowl Halftime show definitely has people feeling nostalgic already -- 'cause his music has been played like crazy in the days since the news broke.
The numbers are pretty staggering ... Billboard tells us Usher's tunes (new and old) have seen a significant spike across all streaming services since the announcement was made Sunday, and the increased plays are tipping into the millions.
Percentage-wise, we're told that boils down to about a 16% bump for Usher between Sunday and Monday ... with his most-streamed song being his new single, "Good Good," which is already on the Hot 100.
Billboard says "Good Good" was streamed 1.1 million times in this window, about a 5% gain. His classics like "Yeah!," "My Boo" and "DJ Got Us Fallin in Love" saw bumps as well -- amounting to an added 962k streams, 527k streams, and 525k streams, respectively.
When it comes to the individual streaming services, the increase is clear in their data too. Tidal, for example, tells us Usher's "Superstar" was the most popular song on their platform on the day of the announcement. They also say "You Make Me Wanna..." saw the biggest jump in streaming percentage from the day prior at 55%.
Another music streaming company that felt the Usher effect was Amazon ... they tell us "Yeah!" climbed a whopping 140% in plays compared to the day before the announcement. As a result, we're told it jumped 149 spots in their internal popular song rankings list.
Of course, word of Usher being the big headliner was well-received on social media ... and it sounds like enthusiasm translated into people going back and getting several earfuls.
