A estos presos famosos no solo se les agasaja con una comida navideña especial, sino que algunas prisiones ofrecen juegos y actividades especiales el día de Navidad.

Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are making up for some future lost time ahead of New Year's Eve -- when they'll be apart -- and did so by hitting the slopes with their kids.

The couple hit up Woodward Park City ski resort out in Utah Friday and Saturday with Gwen's 3 boys -- and the whole family was out and about, tubing one day ... and skiing the next. In photos obtained by TMZ, you can see GS and BS in lock step with the teens close behind.

Eyewitnesses tell us the family wasn't shying away from the attention they drew, nor were they opposed to taking pictures with fans ... by all accounts they were pretty cheerful.

Interestingly, it sounds like Gwen was the one going down the hills here -- on Friday, she could be seen tubing with her boys, while Blake looked on and filmed. On Saturday, she and the kiddos went skiing ... and we're told Blake did not attend. Seems she's the active one!

Anyway, like we said ... these love birds won't be by each other's side come midnight next week -- 'cause Blake's booked to perform in Nashville, and she got hired for a Vegas gig.

A heavy metal singer met the not-so-jolly version of Santa up in NorCal -- where an insult hurled at the guy's city didn't land so well for him ... although, he did land punches.

A deathcore band called Smack'd Up was recently performing up in Sacramento in what appears to be some kind of low-key show in a warehouse ... and not packed at all. Frontman Matt Kupers was on the mic and apparently got frustrated with the energy in the room.

He stops his gig to chastise the crowd, saying he thought he was in Sac Town and that the audience would bring it. He hurls some expletives and essentially jabs at the residents.

Welp, some dude out in the crowd -- who was dressed as Kris Kringle -- didn't like what he was hearing, and he rushed Kupers onstage ... hopping up and starting to whoop on him.

The fight only lasts seconds, but it ended with Kupers falling over and landing on his ass.

Sophie Turner is back on mommy duty just in time for the holidays ... it's her turn to look after her two children as part of her child custody arrangement with Joe Jonas ... but a family reunion may be in the cards.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Sophie's got the kids through Jan. 7 ... which means she'll probably be celebrating Christmas and New Year's with Willa and Delphine over in London.

But, get this ... Joe is in England too -- he was recently spotted at London hot spot Chiltern Firehouse -- so it appears there's at least a decent chance Joe will get to see the kiddos on Xmas too.

Of course, the big question then becomes ... will Sophie and Joe spend time together with their daughters for the holidays, which are traditionally a family affair?

The girls have been with Sophie since Dec. 16 ... and they're allowed to travel with her in the United States and the United Kingdom ... but the kids have to be dropped back off to Joe in NYC on Jan. 7.

Remember ... Joe had the kids for Halloween and Thanksgiving, so the parents are splitting holiday duties under their temporary child custody agreement as they work through a divorce.

Meanwhile, Sophie was spotted making out with British aristocrat Peregrine Pearson earlier this month in London ... before she had the kids.

Sophie Turner está de vuelta en su deber de mamá justo a tiempo para las vacaciones y es su turno de estar con sus dos hijas como parte de su acuerdo de custodia con Joe Jonas, pero una reunión familiar puede estar en la mira.

Según los nuevos documentos legales obtenidos por TMZ, Sophie tiene a los niños hasta el 7 de enero, lo que significa que probablemente va a celebrar la Navidad y el Año Nuevo con Willa y Delphine en Londres.

Pero escuchen esto, Joe está en Inglaterra también y fue visto recientemente en Londres en Chiltern Firehouse, por lo que parece que hay al menos una posibilidad de que Joe vea a las niñas en Navidad también.

Por supuesto, la gran pregunta es, ¿pasarán Sophie y Joe tiempo juntos con sus hijas para las fiestas, que son tradicionalmente un asunto de familia?

Las niñas han estado con Sophie desde el 17 de diciembre y tienen permitido viajar con ella a Estados Unidos y el Reino Unido, pero tienen que estar de vuelta con Joe el 7 de enero en Nueva York.

Recuerden, Joe tuvo a las niñas para Halloween y Acción de Gracias, por lo que los padres están dividiendo los deberes de vacaciones en virtud de su acuerdo temporal de custodia. Todo, en medio de su proceso de divorcio.

Mientras tanto, Sophie fue vista besándose con el aristócrata británico Peregrine Pearson a principios de este mes en Londres, antes de tener a las niñas.

Lil Uzi Vert says a career change is inevitable ... he's done feeling the pressure of making albums and feels a life of creating women's clothes is his new calling.

Those were Uzi's sentiments when we talked to him at Terminal 27 this week ... just a few months from the last time we spoke to him. Perhaps it was the L.A. rain, but Uzi sounded pretty somber confirming to us that "LUV Is Rage 3" will be his final album.

Uzi says he still loves making music, but has lost his love for the craft. It makes sense ... if you recall, it took tooth and painted nail to get his latest album off the ground.

He tells us construction for his clothing company's home office has already started, but it doesn't sound like his girlfriend JT will be involved in the creative direction -- Uzi says she has her own fashion brand to promote.

If Uzi's really calling it quits, it'll be at the top of his game -- he was part of two colorful No. 1 albums this year -- his own "Pink Tape" and Nicki Minaj's "Pink Friday 2" ... and he won't fully retire until they deliver a video for their "Everybody" collab.

Lil Uzi Vert dice que un cambio de carrera es inevitable, que ha dejado de sentir la presión de hacer álbumes y que siente que una vida dedicada a crear ropa de mujer es su nueva vocación.

Estos fueron los sentimientos de Uzi cuando hablamos con él en la Terminal 27 esta semana, solo unos meses desde la última vez que conversamos. Tal vez fuera la lluvia de Los Ángeles, pero Uzi sonaba bastante sombrío al confirmarnos que "LUV Is Rage 3" será su último álbum.

Uzi dice que sigue amando hacer música, pero que ha perdido el amor por el oficio. Tiene sentido. Si ustedes se acuerdan, le costó muchísimo poder ver su último álbum en tierra firme.

Él nos dice que la construcción de las oficinas de su empresa de ropa ya ha comenzado, pero no suena como que su novia JT estará involucrada en la dirección creativa. Uzi dice que tiene su propia marca de moda para promover.

Si Uzi realmente desea retirarse, lo hará en la cima de su carrera. Fue parte de dos coloridos álbumes No. 1 este año, su propio "Pink Tape" y junto al "Pink Friday 2" de Nicki Minaj, y no se retirará por completo hasta que entreguen un video para su colaboración en "Everybody".

Britney Spears has yet to get on the horn and ring up her old man to make plans for Christmas -- and at this point ... it almost feels like a family reunion ain't happening.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Jamie Spears hasn't heard from Britney whatsoever in recent days, this despite the fact that it seemed like a coming-together was possibly imminent in time for the holidays.

Alas, we're told it's been radio silence from Britney's end ... although our sources say Jamie is planning on spending Christmas with his other daughter, Jamie Lynn Spears in Louisiana.

As far as where Britney might be, or what she'll end up doing ... it's not totally clear. We know her mother, Lynne, was hopeful her daughter might fly out and spend this weekend with her -- but again, there's no indication that's happening.

It's a bit of a downer to hear -- remember, after we broke the story that Jamie had his leg amputated ... Britney posted a photo of the two of them, seemingly signaling she'd come around and make amends.

It was just a few weeks ago that Britney and Lynne were together here in SoCal -- for Brit's 42nd birthday, no less -- but that sweet reconciliation appears to have been short-lived.

Like we said, no idea on where Britney might be at the moment -- but she did just signal on social media she's still here in California ... 'cause she posted a video of herself posing in a white outfit, with a long caption recounting a story about something she saw at the gym.

On its face, it seems like she's rolling solo for Xmas ... which, if true, is a bit of a shame.

We know for a fact people in her family would love to see her, but for now ... the clock is ticking on being able to make that a reality. Granted there are still a couple days left.

The stars are stepping out of their usual Hollywood spotlight ... shining even brighter under their festive Christmas Trees ... and they sure are looking tree-mendous!

Standing tall and havin' a ball, a plentiful of your top celebs -- like Terry Crews, Lizzo and Corinne Olympios -- added their special touch to their trees with divine decorations, bringing light and life to their homes. And, of course, they posed with glee!

No "Dilemma" for Kelly Rowland this Christmas ... she and her sweet kiddo spread the holiday love and showed the BEST gift around the tree: a happy fam all wrapped up in each other!

And topping things off ... Hoda Kotb put the finishing touches on her tree -- assisting her two daughters with their tree-topper!

Check out our gallery of stars feeling right and shining bright by their trees and igniting the holiday spirit!

¡Las estrellas están saliendo de su habitual centro de atención en Hollywood para brillar aún más fuerte bajo sus árboles de Navidad y de seguro están buscando una decoración que sea magnífica!

De pie y sosteniendo los adornos de Navidad, muchos de los famosos como Terry Crews, Lizzo y Corinne Olympios, le han dado un toque especial a sus árboles con decoraciones divinas, aportando luz y vida a sus hogares. Y, por supuesto, ¡han posado felices frente a ellos!

No hay "dilema" para Kelly Rowland esta Navidad, ella y su dulce hija repartieron el amor navideño y mostraron el MEJOR regalo alrededor del árbol: ¡una familia feliz y reunida en torno al arbolito!

Y para rematar las cosas, Hoda Kotb le dio los toques finales a su árbol, ¡ayudando a sus dos hijas con sus adornos!

¡Echa un vistazo a nuestra galería de estrellas, sintiéndose bien y brillando junto a sus árboles y encendiendo el espíritu navideño!

Taylor Swift's loyal army of fans are coming after FKA Twigs over a perceived shot -- and it all has to do with an apparent reenactment of Kanye West's 'Famous' music video.

The indie artist posted a massive photo and video dump on Instagram the other day, recapping what she's been working on as an end-of-year tease of what's to come. It's a lot of random clips of her goofing around, as well as some snippets of her singing/recording, but one video in the mix got a double take from Swifties ... perhaps for good reason.

It features Twigs, multi-instrumentalist Eartheater and some other pals of theirs laying in a bed, with everyone looking like they're asleep. The camera angle is taken from above, and pans across everybody from left to right ... and at the end, they break character/laugh it up.

FKA didn't explicitly address the bed clip -- simply writing, "this year i have been making my album in cabs in berlin, huts in big sur, caves in ibiza, roads in hackney, i have written lyrics by lakes in prague and in the toilets of raves with a biro on the back of my hand."

On its face, it could just be a taste of a collab between herself and Earth -- and it could also be completely innocent/unrelated to Ye's 2016 song/music vid that looks awfully similar.

Unfortunately for Twigs, Swifites took offense to it ... as they seem to feel this is a dig that's mocking Ye's visual treatment -- which featured a fake nude Taylor right next to fake Ye/Kim.

Taylor herself never addressed it, but people in her camp have expressed outrage over Kanye putting her likeness in there ... and many have gone to call it a crude publicity stunt teetering on revenge porn. It was just the latest development in their longstanding feud.

Now that Twigs has seemingly referenced that old wound with a recreation, of sorts -- intentionally or not -- the Swifites are out in force in her comment section ... and elsewhere online, and they're tearing Twigs are new one with a lot of angry comments/insults.

You can hop into the FKA Twigs trend and see the discourse for yourself -- on the one hand, you have Taylor's base going to bat for their idol, but on the other ... you got FKA's army defending her as well, and labeling the Swifties a toxic and misguided bunch.

FWIW, Taylor has not spoken out on this yet ... frankly, she probably isn't even aware of it. There's been no bad blood between these two ladies either -- in fact, Twigs has spoken fondly of Taylor in the past ... but they're not necessarily good friends or anything like that.

Nick and Aaron Carter's sister, Bobbie Jean Carter, has died ... TMZ has learned.

Bobbie Jean's mother, Jane Carter, tells us ... "I am in shock from learning of the sudden death of my daughter, Bobbie Jean; and I will need time to process the terrible reality of this happening for the third time.  When I am able to think clearly, I’ll release a fuller statement; but until then I would request to be left to grieve in private."

She adds ... "[H]owever deeply a parent feels the loss of a child, the suffering of a young child at the loss of a parent must be much greater. So, I would ask the sympathetic to say a prayer for my precious eight year old granddaughter Bella, who previously lost her father and is now also left without her mother."

The exact circumstances of Bobbie's death are unclear, but we know she passed away Saturday morning in Florida.

Bobbie Jean -- otherwise known as BJ -- was somewhat involved in the family's music business during the height of her brothers' careers ... especially Aaron, for whom she served as a wardrobe stylist and makeup artist during his tours back in the early 2000s.

She also appeared on the family's E! reality TV show, "House of Carters," on which she was featured in eight episodes. In the years since, Bobbie Jean lived a relatively private life in obscurity, shying away from the spotlight.

Bobbie Jean suffered from addiction and substance abuse over the years ... something that was documented on TV, and which she continued to battle into her later years of adulthood.

She had legal troubles as well, with arrests documented as recently as this year.

BJ's death marks yet another tragedy for the family at large. Not only did they lose Aaron last year due to a drowning at his home -- which was also found to have been drug-related -- but the Carters also lost their other sister, Leslie, in 2012 ... as a result of an overdose.

Now, the only living Carter siblings are Nick and Angel ... there are half-siblings and step-siblings in the family as well. Bobbie Jean is survived by a young daughter, Bella.

Bobbie Jean was 41.

La hermana de Nick y Aaron Carter, Bobbie Jean Carter, ha muerto ... TMZ ha indagado.

La madre de Bobbie Jean, Jane Carter, nos dice: "Estoy en estado de shock al enterarme de la repentina muerte de mi hija Bobbie Jean y necesitaré tiempo para procesar la terrible realidad de que esto suceda por tercera vez. Cuando sea capaz de pensar con claridad, publicaré una declaración más completa; pero hasta entonces pediría que me dejaran llorar en privado".

Ella añade: "[Aunque] un padre siente profundamente la pérdida de un hijo, el sufrimiento de un niño pequeño ante la pérdida de un padre debe ser mucho mayor. Por ello, pido a los compasivos que recen una oración por mi preciosa nieta Bella, de ocho años, que anteriormente perdió a su padre y ahora también se ha quedado sin su madre".

Las circunstancias exactas de la muerte de Bobbie no están claras, pero sabemos que falleció el sábado por la mañana en Florida.

Bobbie Jean, también conocida como BJ, estuvo algo involucrada en el negocio de la música durante el apogeo de las carreras de sus hermanos, especialmente de Aaron, para quien trabajó como estilista de vestuario y artista de maquillaje durante sus giras a principios de la década de los 2000.

También apareció en el reality show de la familia "House of Carters", durante ocho episodios. En los años siguientes, Bobbie Jean vivió una vida relativamente privada en las sombras, huyendo de los focos.

Bobbie Jean sufrió de adicción y abuso de sustancias a lo largo de los años, algo que fue documentado en la televisión y con lo que continuó luchando durante los últimos años de su edad adulta.

También tenía problemas legales, con detenciones documentadas con fechas tan recientes como este año.

La muerte de BJ marca otra tragedia para la familia. No solo perdieron a Aaron el año pasado debido a una asfixia en su casa (también se encontró que estaba relacionado con las drogas), sino que también perdieron a su otra hermana Leslie, en 2012, como resultado de una sobredosis.

Ahora, los únicos hermanos Carter que siguen con vida son Nick y Angel. Hay medios hermanos y hermanastros en la familia también. A Bobbie Jean le sobrevive una hija pequeña, Bella.

Bobbie Jean tenía 41 años.

1:20 PM PT -- The Chicks just addressed Laura's death, writing ... "We are shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of Laura Lynch, a founding member of The Chicks. We hold a special place in our hearts for the time we spent playing music, laughing and traveling together. Laura was a bright light…her infectious energy and humor gave a spark to the early days of our band. Laura had a gift for design, a love of all things Texas and was instrumental in the early success of the band. Her undeniable talents helped propel us beyond busking on street corners to stages all across Texas and the mid-West."

They add, "Our thoughts are with her family and loved ones at this sad time."

11:42 AM PT -- The Texas Dept. of Public Safety has confirmed Lynch's death, and the details thus far about how she died are absolutely tragic. Law enforcement says their preliminary investigation shows that Laura was heading east on Highway 62, and that another car heading west attempted to pass another vehicle in front of it on a two-way undivided portion of the highway.

As that car tried going around, it ended up hitting Laura's vehicle head-on... and killed her. The driver of the other vehicle was transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Laura was declared dead at the scene ... and a full probe has been launched.

Laura Lynch, a founding member of The Dixie Chicks, has died after being involved in a car crash ... TMZ has learned.

The musician's cousin, Mick Lynch, tells us Laura passed away Friday outside of El Paso, TX just after sunset while driving from there to nearby Dell City -- which is about an hour and a half away going east. We're told she was traveling on a highway and got into a collision.

No other details about the exact circumstances of the accident were immediately available.

Lynch co-founded the famous music group -- now known just as The Chicks -- alongside Robin Lynn Macy, Martie Erwin and Emily Erwin back in 1989 ... serving as the upright bassist and eventually taking on the role of lead vocalist for the band.

At first, they had a bluegrass/traditional country sound ... and toward the beginning of their career, they were mostly a local Texas act that toured the area and surrounding states.

Eventually, they released their first album, "Thank Heavens for Dale Evans," in 1990 ... which didn't produce any charting singles. Ditto for their 2nd album, "Little Ol' Cowgirl," from 1992 -- although that one featured a song that got covered and got some play, "Past the Point of Rescue." It was during this period that another OG member, Robin Lynn Macy, exited.

Come '93, it was just 3 Dixie Chicks and they released yet another album, "Shouldn't a Told You That," which didn't receive much commercial success either. This was the last album Lynch contributed to before leaving the band in '95 ... when Natalie Maines replaced her.

There are different reasons cited for why Lynch left ... but it appears she was heading in a different direction big picture -- wanting to focus on family and personal matters. At any rate, in interviews since -- LL expressed no regrets about her decision, and went on to live a relatively private life. Of course, in the following years ... the Dixie Chicks caught fire.

With Maines, the sound of the band changed to become a bit more modern ... and Maines took up lead vocal duties -- with sisters Martie Maguire and Emily Strayer staying on too. They broke through into the mainstream in '98 with "Wide Open Spaces," and took off.

Of course, the Dixie Chicks were at the center of a lot of controversy heading into the 2000s -- including their remarks on George W. Bush and the Iraq War -- and eventually ... they changed their band name too due to the racist southern undertones affiliated with the OG.

As for Laura, she married Mac Tull and had a daughter, both of whom she's survived by. She was 65.

RIP

11:42 AM PT -- El Departamento de Seguridad Pública de Texas ha confirmado la muerte de Lynch y los detalles sobre cómo murió son absolutamente trágicos. La policía dice que su investigación preliminar muestra que Laura se dirigía hacia el este por la autopista 62, y que otro carro que se dirigía hacia el oeste trató de adelantar a otro vehículo en una porción no dividida de las vías de la carretera.

Cuando ese carro intentó dar la vuelta, acabó golpeando de frente al vehículo de Laura y la mató. El conductor del otro vehículo fue trasladado a un hospital con heridas que no ponen en peligro su vida. Laura fue declarada muerta en el lugar de los hechos ... y se ha abierto una investigación completa.

Laura Lynch, miembro fundador de The Dixie Chicks, ha muerto después de estar involucrada en un accidente automovilístico, TMZ ha indagado.

El primo de la cantante, Mick Lynch, nos dice que Laura falleció el viernes en las afueras de El Paso, Texas, justo después de la puesta del sol mientras conducía a la cercana Dell City, que está a una hora y media de distancia hacia el este. Nos dicen que ella viajaba en una carretera y se metió en una colisión.

No están disponibles más detalles sobre las circunstancias exactas del accidente.

Lynch cofundó el famoso grupo de música, ahora conocido solo como The Chicks, junto a Robin Lynn Macy, Martie Erwin y Emily Erwin en 1989. Ella comenzó como bajista y finalmente asumió el papel de vocalista de la banda.

Al principio, tenían un sonido bluegrass/tradicional del country y eran sobre todo un grupo local de Texas que hacía giras por la zona y los estados vecinos.

Con el tiempo, publicaron su primer álbum "Thank Heavens for Dale Evans", en 1990, que no produjo ningún éxito. Lo mismo ocurrió con su segundo álbum, "Little Ol' Cowgirl", de 1992, aunque en ese caso incluyeron una canción que fue portada y tuvo cierta repercusión "Past the Point of Rescue". Fue durante este período cuando otra integrante legendaria Robin Lynn Macy, abandonó el grupo.

En el 93, solo quedaban tres Dixie Chicks y publicaron otro disco titulado "Shouldn't a Told You That", que tampoco tuvo mucho éxito comercial. Este fue el último álbum en el que participó Lynch antes de abandonar el grupo en 1995, cuando Natalie Maines la sustituyó.

Hay diferentes razones de por qué se fue, pero parece que iba en otra dirección en general. Deseaba centrarse en su familia y sus asuntos personales. En cualquier caso, en las entrevistas que ha concedido desde entonces, Laura Lynch no se había arrepentido de su decisión y llevaba una vida relativamente privada. Por supuesto, en los años siguientes las Dixie Chicks fueron furor.

Con Maines, el sonido de la banda cambió hacia un estilo un poco más moderno. Ella asumió la función de vocalista junto a las hermanas Martie Maguire y Emily Strayer. En el 98 se abrieron paso con el gran público de "Wide Open Spaces", donde despegaron.

Por supuesto, las Dixie Chicks estuvieron al centro de muchas controversias en la década de los 2000 por sus comentarios sobre George W. Bush y la guerra de Irak, y al final también cambiaron el nombre de su grupo debido a las connotaciones racistas del sur asociadas al nombre original.

En cuanto a Laura, se casó con Mac Tull y tuvo una hija, ambas le sobreviven. Tenía 65 años.

Nick Cannon está celebrando la Navidad al estilo familiar. El famoso padre de 12 niños publicó un montón de fotos suyas con Bre Tiesi, madre de su bebé, y su hijo de 1 año de edad, Legendary.

Nick y compañía publicaron las fotos en Instagram, donde parece todo de rojo en un traje junto a la hermosa Bre, que también está con un vestido rojo y sostiene al pequeño Legendary, a juego con sus padres.

En otra imagen, Nick aparece dándole un gran beso a Bre, estrella del reality show "Selling Sunset". En una tercera instantánea, Legendary aparece solo frente a las cámaras, disfrutando de los focos como su padre.

Bre escribió en el pie de foto: "Feliz Navidad y felices fiestas de parte de los Cannon Boys y mía".
