Janet Jackson's smack in the middle of a heated battle with her brother Jermaine Jackson, and other family members, over the biopic, "Michael," and the feud all comes down to envy ... TMZ has learned.
One source closely tied to the family tells us, Michael Jackson's siblings first got into it during a phone call on the heels of the whole family getting together in L.A. last week to screen the movie, which hits theaters next month.
We're told Janet was very critical of the film, while Jermaine loudly applauded. It's worth noting Jermaine's son Jaafar stars as Michael ... but their conflict appears to run deeper than just the movie. The source says, "Janet's always been insanely jealous of Michael, and her career is in the toilet."
Tré Melvin was a standout celebrity host on our TMZ Brunch Bus ... even bringing fellow famous friend Zach Campbell as the two -- along with the incredible DJ Nyla -- brought the house (err ... bus) down with amazing performances and energy in between stops.
But the real headline is when Tré got candid about artists he says "betray their communities for tyrannical power" in pursuit of fame -- a comment seemingly referencing Nicki Minaj and her recent support of Donald Trump.
Tré didn't dwell too much on his disappointment in the "Super Bass" rapper ... as the brunch tour rolled through Beaches WeHo, with shots waiting and a drag performance just for the bus. Then they stopped at Saddle Ranch Chop House, where guests were treated to French toast bites and a wild deal: $9.99 bottomless mimosas -- basically unlimited refills for the price of one.
Paris Jackson turned a courthouse run into a full-blown fashion moment -- and no, this wasn’t some glitzy red carpet … she was heading in for a hearing tied to her late dad Michael Jackson’s estate.
Check out the look -- Paris rocked a burgundy blouse tucked into matching wide-leg trousers, strutting into L.A. court Wednesday morning in skyscraper heels while carrying a matching handbag and clutching her paperwork like a boss.
No doubt about it, she looked phenomenal -- beachy waves cascading down, a bright smile on her face, serving confidence while handling business.
A jury has reached its decision in the lawsuit against Ye -- the rapper formerly known as Kanye West ... and they sided with his former employee.
Ye has been ordered to pay $140k for medical expenses and lost wages to Tony Saxton, much lower than the $1.7M he was asking for.
Tony sued Ye for more than $1 million for alleged unpaid wages, and accused Ye of subjecting him to unsafe working conditions and wrongful termination.

Country Joe McDonald -- the legendary lead singer and co-founder of 1960s psychedelic folk rock band Country Joe and the Fish, best known for the anti-Vietnam War anthem "I-Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’-to-Die Rag" -- has died ... TMZ has learned.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the Woodstock icon died Saturday evening. Details surrounding his death are currently unclear.
McDonald, born Joseph Allen McDonald, became one of the defining voices of the 1960s protest movement. As frontman of Country Joe and the Fish, he helped shape the San Francisco psychedelic scene during rock's most politically charged era.
His 1969 Woodstock performance, which was complete with the crowd-wide "Fish Cheer," remains one of the festival's most unforgettable moments, cementing his place in counterculture history.

Bianca Censori may be fine baring her body on the streets of Los Angeles ... but, she also respects the authority of the criminal justice system -- covering up for Kanye West's court date.
The wife of Ye pulled up to a Downtown Los Angeles courthouse Thursday in a tight black dress and tall high heels.
While the dress hugged her curves as she climbed the stairs to the Stanley Mosk Courthouse, Bianca's obviously wearing a lot more clothing here that usual ... after all, she's covering up all her private areas -- which is a far cry from a normal Censori ensemble.
Harry Styles says it seemed like other people felt entitled to his grief after Liam Payne died ... because a public expression of his feelings was expected from him.
The singer-songwriter sat down with Zane Lowe for an interview on his Apple Music podcast ... and, he opened up about his late One Direction bandmate.
Styles tells Lowe he was grieving on his own right after Liam died in October 2024 ... but, he soon found himself in the bizarre situation of having some people "own part of your grief."

Zara Larsson is going viral, and not for her vocals this time ... after the pop star left a comment online that raised plenty of eyebrows.

The Swedish singer-songwriter fired back with a cheeky reply ... “I killed the performance and then you killed it after the performance purrrrrr” and reposted the video onto her TikTok account.
