Social Media

LeBron James simply couldn't contain himself while jamming out to GloRilla's new song in the gym ... dancing along and reciting the very few words he knew.

The Los Angeles Lakers superstar -- who's no stranger to documenting his favorite tracks in the rap game on social media -- was back at it with his usual antics on Tuesday ... this time, showing love for the Memphis artist's "Yeah Glo!"

We're not gonna fault the guy for not knowing all the lyrics, considering the song just came out last week ... but damn, does he really try to push his way through it nonetheless.

Of course, King James isn't believed to be a frequent visitor of Genius.com -- he's known for taking some creative liberties whenever he throws his background vocals during his music sessions ... like his notorious "yabba dabba doo I don't know Old Navy" while singing along to 6LACK's "hoppin' out the car, no photos, baby" line in "Stay Down."

Either way, it's a drastic improvement for the four-time NBA champ ... he really has come so far.

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are laying it on thick as their romance progresses ... they're packing on a ton of PDA, only here -- it's Ben who can't keep his hands to himself.

The singer just posted some new shots with her music producer boyfriend, and they're completely boo'd up and snuggling together in just about all the pics. One photo, in particular, is eye-popping ... you see Benny boy grabbing a hold of her breast.

This was among the 4 new photos with Benny she shared on Instagram, captioning the post ... "My bes fwend." Of course, it's very clear -- they are much more than just pals.

Besides Benny's boob grab ... there are images of them hugging in a kitchen and being goofy together. On its face, they make a really cute couple -- and seem head over heels.

Selena and Benny clearly aren't shy ... in the last photo, they're kissing in front of a couple friends of theirs, including "The Bear" star Matty Matheson. This is just the latest example of them leaning into their love fest, BTW ... in fact, they're kinda giving Taylor and Travis a run for their money these days!

Bottom line -- they look genuinely happy together ... especially Selena, which is great to see.

The last time we saw these two lovebirds out in public, they were on a date at Disney California Adventure in Anaheim, CA ... holding on to each other tightly as they waited for a ride. She's been bringing Benny along to more events lately ... including award shows.

At first, some believed this relationship was fake as can be -- incredulous, almost -- but nah, they're for realsies ... which is becoming more and more evident with each new photo dump.

Selena Gomez y Benny Blanco se están poniendo muy melosos en la medida que su romance progresa y están compartiendo un montón de fotos acurrucados, solo que en una Ben no pudo mantener sus manos lejos de ella.

La cantante acaba de publicar algunas fotos con su novio y productor musical, donde aparecen completamente acurrucados en casi todas las tomas. Una foto, en particular, es llamativa, pues se ve a Benny agarrando una parte de su pecho.

Esta fue una de las 4 fotos con Benny que Selena compartió en su Instagram con el comentario: "Mi mejor amigo". Desde luego, son mucho más que amigos.

Además de la cuestión del pecho, hay imágenes de ellos abrazados en una cocina y por u cara parece que están haciendo una pareja muy linda y que están muy enamorados.

Selena y Benny claramente no son tímidos. En la última foto, aparecen besándose delante de un par de amigos, incluyendo la estrella de "El Oso" Matty Matheson. ¡Esta es solo la última expresión de su festival del amor, y por cierto, parece que se la están poniendo un poco difícil a Travis y Taylor por estos días!

En palabras simples, se ven realmente felices juntos, especialmente Selena, lo que es genial ver.

La última vez que vimos a estos dos tortolitos en público fue en una cita en Disney California Adventure en Anaheim, donde anduvieron muy abrazados. Ella ha estado llevando a Benny a muchos eventos últimamente, incluyendo los premios.

Al principio, algunos creían que esta relación era falsa, pero se está volviendo más y más evidente con cada nueva foto que comparten.

Jermaine Dupri's defending his right to dress up his ankles anyway he sees fit ... after his Super Bowl wardrobe turned into a trending topic coming out of Usher's Halftime show blowout.

Social media relentlessly ribbed JD for his schoolboy uniform getup, complete with the type of ruffled socks that resembled the kind kids wore back in the outhouse days. Some critics suggested all he was missing was an apple for the teacher!!!

On Monday, Jermaine posted proof his footies were certified haute couture ... revealing them to be Louis Vuitton pocket socks worth hundreds of bucks!

The "Money Ain't A Thang" rapper said he was too drunk to combat the jokes in the moment, but has time today ... and also called in for backup from Pharrell, LV's current men's creative director.

The rich flex didn't help JD's case much -- fans are saying this designer drip should have stayed in the closet.

Donald Trump says he'd be shocked if Taylor Swift endorsed President Joe Biden again ... 'cause Donald says he made her a ton of money -- and implied he expects some loyalty.

The former prez took to Truth Social early Sunday morning and addressed the world's biggest celebrity couple -- as well as rumblings that Taylor would endorse Biden again.

DT started by touting one of his legislative accomplishments ... passing the Music Modernization Act -- a law that basically changed the way songwriters and music publishers are paid certain royalties -- on the whole, it helps artists receive fairer compensation.

The MMA was signed into law in 2018, under 45 ... so he feels he helped make Swift some serious cash -- adding Joe Biden hasn't done "anything for Taylor, and never will."

He then invoked the word "disloyal" ... saying Swift could never turn against "the man who made her so much money."

Trump finished off his post with some complimentary words for Travis Kelce ... saying he quite likes the two-time Super Bowl champ -- even if he is a liberal!

While not outright complimentary of Swift, this seems like a shift away from his campaign's reported strategy regarding the world's biggest pop star.

Remember ... Rolling Stone reported the Trump campaign was preparing for a "holy war" against her. Unclear exactly what that means, but this isn't the blatant condemnation one would expect from holy warriors.

It does seem to draw a line in the sand though ... ex-POTUS expects loyalty -- and it seems like the situation could get messy if T-Swift doesn't kiss the ring.

Taylor endorsed Joe for his 2020 presidential run ... and it seems unlikely she'll back Trump this time, though we suppose anything is possible.

Kickoff is just a few hours away ... but a much bigger battle seems to be brewing on the horizon.

Bobbi Althoff getting divorced is now being picked apart by fans who think Drake might've had something to do with it -- but we got the real story ... and it's far from that at all.

Here's the deal ... Bobbi's now-estranged husband, Cory, cited July 4, '23 as the day he and BA separated -- and the reason folks are hyper-focusing on this is because it just so happens to be around the time she aired her viral interview with Drake, where they're both in bed.

Of course, the speculation has been peaking -- with many suggesting Bobbi and Drake were, perhaps, closer than we saw ... and that they maybe had something going on BTS.

Welp, sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Drake was actually NOT a big fan of Bobbi toward the end of summer last year -- and that they had a major falling out post-interview, although they were friendly in the immediate aftermath.

Long story short ... we're told Drake and Bobbi continued texting after they had their famous lay-down chat -- and our sources say Drizzy even invited Bobbi to his L.A. concert on Aug. 12 ... which she attended. Unfortunately for her, only general admission was offered.

Our sources tell us Bobbi was genuinely angry about this -- apparently feeling she deserved to be in the VIP area with Drake's other celeb friends -- and she made her indignation known in a since-deleted video where she's standing around on the arena floor pouting about.

Not long after that went up ... Bobbi took the clip down, and within the same weekend -- she also took down the original nearly hour-long interview ... no explanation for either.

At the time, people were trying to figure out if they'd had a falling out -- and as it turns out, they absolutely did. Our sources tell us that when Bobbi was at the show ... her little video was reflecting how she actually felt -- namely, furious she'd ended up in GA.

We're told Bobbi blew Drake up about it that same night -- while he was onstage -- and that she even tried going backstage at one point ... but got rebuffed by security.

Not long after this ... we're told Drake's camp hit her team to demand she take down both the clip and the interview ... which she then did. At that point, we're told their friendship fizzled.

Now, in terms of whether they've patched things up since -- something Bobbi herself recently implied on Keke Palmer's podcast ... we're told they haven't. Bobbi told Keke they'd spoken in recent weeks ... but our sources tell us they have not. We're told they don't talk anymore.

On the issue of why Cory actually filed to divorce Bobbi -- it's a very simple explanation ... our sources tell us her skyrocketing fame and his desire to remain a normie was the main catalyst, and that it had nothing to do with allegations of cheating. Although, we're sure he probably didn't appreciate how cozy she was acting with Champagne Papi on tape.

El divorcio de Bobbi Althoff está siendo observado bien de cerca por los fans que piensan que Drake podría haber tenido algo que ver con eso, pero tenemos la verdadera historia y está lejos de ser así.

Así es la cosa, Bobbi, el ex marido de Cory, citó el 4 de julio del 2023 como el día en que él y Bobbi se separaron, y la razón por la gente está conmocionada, es porque da la casualidad de que es muy cerca del momento en que salió al aire su entrevista viral con Drake, donde ambos están en la cama.

Por supuesto, la especulación ha llegado a su punto máximo, con muchos sugiriendo que Bobbi y Drake eran, tal vez, más cercanos de lo que pudimos ver, y que tal vez tenían algo pasando a escondidas.

Sin embargo, fuentes directas nos informan que Drake no era un gran fan de Bobbi hacia el final del verano del año pasado y tuvieron una caída importante después de la entrevista, a pesar de que se hicieron amigos inmediatamente después.

Nos dicen que Drake y Bobbi continuaron enviando mensajes de texto después de que tuvieron su famosa charla y nuestras fuentes dicen que Drake incluso invitó a Bobbi a su concierto de Los Ángeles el 12 de agosto... al que asistió. Por desgracia para ella, solo obtuvo la entrada general.

Nuestras fuentes nos dicen que Bobbi estaba realmente enfadada por esto, aparentemente sintiendo que merecía estar en la zona VIP con otros amigos famosos de Drake, y ella hizo saber su indignación en un video ya borrado donde ella está de pie en el suelo de la arena haciendo pucheros.

No mucho después de que lo subió, Bobbi quitó el clip, y en el mismo fin de semana también quitó la entrevista original de casi una hora de duración sin explicación aparente.

En ese momento, la gente estaba tratando de averiguar si habían tenido una pelea y resulta que así fue. Nuestras fuentes nos dicen que cuando Bobbi estaba en el show, su pequeño video estaba reflejando cómo se sentía en realidad, es decir, furiosa de terminar en la galería.

Nos dicen Bobbi no se comportó de la mejor manera esa noche, incluso trató de ir detrás del escenario en un momento, pero la seguridad la detuvo.

No mucho después de esto, nos dicen que el campamento de Drake golpeó a su equipo para exigir que retire tanto el clip y como la entrevista, y así fue como pasó. En ese momento su amistad se esfumó.

Ahora, respecto a si han arreglado las cosas desde entonces, algo que Bobbi dio a entender recientemente en el pódcast de Keke Palmer... nos informan que no lo han hecho. Bobbi le dijo a Keke que habían hablado las últimas semanas, pero nuestras fuentes nos dicen que no lo han hecho. Nos dicen que no hablan más

Sobre la cuestión de por qué Cory realmente le pidió el divorcio a Bobbi, muy simple, nuestras fuentes nos dicen que su fama y su deseo de seguir siendo un normie fue el principal catalizador y que no tenía nada que ver con las acusaciones de engaño. Aunque estamos seguros de que probablemente no apreciaba cómo acogedor que estaba actuando con Champagne Papi en la cinta.

Caitlyn Jenner parecía suplicar el apoyo legal de Elon Musk para luchar contra Disney después de ser despedida de "The Kardashians", aunque no es algo que realmente está persiguiendo, TMZ ha indagado.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo nos dicen que Caitlyn no tiene planes de demandar a la Casa del Ratón y que simplemente estaba haciendo visible su experiencia con el estudio al comentar bajo el post original de Elon, donde dijo explícitamente que proporcionaría apoyo legal (es decir, financiación) a aquellos que se sintieran discriminados por Disney o sus filiales.

El comentario de Caitlyn decía: "Hulu (filial de Disney) nunca me puso en el programa de mi familia. Yo estuve desde el día 1 cuando se cambió de E!". A primera vista, parecía que hablaba en serio... sobre todo porque Elon parecía estar atento.

Ahora, mientras que nuestras fuentes nos dicen que Caitlyn no tiene planes recibir ayuda de Elon en este momento, si existe algún tipo de ataque de parte de las Kardashians en contra Caitlyn, nos dicen que posiblemente volvería a considerar la idea.

Protagonizó casi las 20 temporadas de "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" de E!, junto a su exesposa Kris Jenner, sus hijastras Kourtney, Kim y Khloé, y sus hijas biológicas Kendall y Kylie. Caitlyn nunca apareció en la serie renovada -"The Kardashians"- cuando se trasladó a Hulu en 2022.

El mes pasado, Caitlyn expresó una frustración similar por su despido de Disney al responder a una publicación en X del consultor político Richard Grenell, quien arremetió contra la cadena por su postura "partidista".

La estrella del reality comentó en su momento: "Me pregunto si es por eso que me despidieron del reality show de mi familia cuando se cambió a Hulu (@Disney), de E!. No debo estar lo suficientemente progre (woke)".

Cailyn añadió: "Qué pena... Recuerdo cuando Bob Iger era un joven y trabajador aparcacoches que me llevaba las maletas justo después de ganar las Olimpiadas".

Por si no lo sabías, Elon está financiando la demanda de la ex actriz de "Mandalorian" Gina Carano, en la que afirma que Disney + y LucasFilm la despidieron injustamente de su trabajo después de que publicara sus opiniones políticas en redes sociales.

Es por eso que esta conversación sobre Caitlyn está sucediendo, porque Elon está legítimamente poniendo su dinero en medio de este asunto contra Disney.

Volviendo a Caitlyn -las cosas pueden no haber funcionado con "The Kardashians", pero ella se ha cambiado de la telerrealidad a FOX, trabajando para la cadena como colaboradora de Fox News, lo que realmente está disfrutando.

Caitlyn Jenner seemed to plead for Elon Musk's legal backing to fight Disney after being dropped from "The Kardashians" -- but she's not actually pursuing it ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us Caitlyn has zero plans to sue the Mouse House and was simply shining a light on her experience with the studio by commenting under the EM's original post ... where he explicitly said he would provide legal support (namely, funding) to those who felt they'd been discriminated against by Disney or its subsidiaries.

Caitlyn's comment under Elon's post read ... "Hulu (Disney subsidiary) never put me on my family's show - I had been on since day 1- when it switched from E!" On its face, it certainly sounded like she was serious ... especially since Elon seemed to be seriously baiting.

Now, while our sources tell us CJ has no plans to take Elon up on his offer to sue right now, if any bombshell information surfaces from the Kardashians' reality show on Hulu that pushes the envelope against Caitlyn ... we're told she would possibly revisit the idea.

You'll recall ... Caitlyn starred in almost all 20 seasons of E! 's "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" alongside her ex-wife Kris Jenner, her stepkids Kourtney, Kim, and Khloé, and biological daughters Kendall and Kylie. Caitlyn never appeared in the revamped series though, "The Kardashians," when it moved over to Hulu in 2022.

Last month, CJ expressed similar frustration over the Disney non-invite when replying to an X post from political consultant Richard Grenell, who blasted the network for its "partisan" stance.

The reality star commented at the time ... "I wonder if that's why they fired me from my family's reality show when it switched over to Hulu (@Disney), from E!. I must not be woke enough."

Cailyn added -- "Too bad… I remember when Bob Iger was a young, hard working, valet, carrying my bags, for me right after I won the Olympics."

ICYMI ... Elon is funding former "Mandalorian" actress Gina Carano's lawsuit ... where she claims Disney+ and LucasFilm wrongfully terminated her from her job after she posted her political views on social media.

That's why this Caitlyn convo is even happening -- because Elon is legitimately putting his money where his mouth is on this issue against Disney.

Back to Caitlyn ... things may not have worked out with "The Kardashians" -- but she's gone from reality TV to FOX, working for the network as a Fox News contributor, which she's really enjoying.

Shannen Doherty is sticking by her claim that Alyssa Milano got her fired from "Charmed" ... getting choked up telling a crowd that she knows her truth, despite AM's recent denial.

Check out the video ... it's pretty dramatic. Shannen tells Orlando's MegaCon audience Sunday she's simply telling the truth about the situation "as opposed to the narrative that others put out there for me" -- this with her former costars Holly Marie Combs and Rose McGowan sitting supportively beside her.

She clearly gave a lot of thought to what she was gonna say ... even writing it down in pre-prepared notes which she read from during the "Who's the Boss?" panel.

Shannen makes it clear she and Holly weren't being "mean" when making the claims against Alyssa on her 'Let's Be Clear' podcast in December ... in fact, they say they later edited down the podcast to get rid of any extra deets that would likely cause more drama -- but remains adamant what remains is the truth "because the truth actually does matter."

Welling up with emotion, Shannen admits she felt compelled to address the matter following her stage 4 breast cancer diagnosis ... because there was no time more important than the present on getting the truth out there, at least what she considers the truth anyway.

SD says ... "There is no revisionist history happening in the truth that I know we told … There is no lateness to set, there is no mediator for months on end. I recall the facts as if I was still living in them."

Shannen reflects on the seriousness of the matter ... noting that while someone may call it all dramatic, it was an actual trauma she had lived with for an extremely long time -- and her cancer battle only served to heal her from the livelihood that was taken away from her and her family because "somebody else wanted to be No. 1 on the call sheet."

There's clearly no budging on Shannen's end -- and same for Alyssa, it seems ... who indirectly denied SD's allegations in another panel at the convention Friday ... saying she's "sad" by all of the "toxicity" surrounding the show. She added she was also upset that "people can't move past it" ... and that this was overshadowing the success of the show.

Shannen Doherty se mantiene firme en su afirmación de que Alyssa Milano hizo que la despidieran de "Embrujadas". Se emocinó diciéndole a la multitud que ella sabe su verdad, a pesar de la reciente negación de Alyssa.

Échale un vistazo al video, es bastante dramático. Shannen le dice a la audiencia de Orlando MegaCon el domingo que dice la verdad sobre la situación "en contraposición a la narrativa de otros", con sus ex coprotagonistas Holly Marie Combs y Rose McGowan sentadas a su lado apoyándola.

Ella claramente pensó mucho en lo que iba a decir, preparando unas notas de antemano que leyó durante el panel de "¿Quién es el Jefe?".

Shannen deja claro que ella y Holly no estaban siendo "malas" al hacer las afirmaciones en contra de Alyssa en su pódcast "Let's Be Clear" en diciembre, de hecho, dicen que más tarde editaron el pódcast para deshacerse de cualquier detalle extra que probablemente causaría más drama, pero sigue siendo firme en que lo que queda es la verdad "porque la verdad realmente importa".

Lleno de emoción, Shannen admite que se sintió obligada a abordar la cuestión después de su diagnóstico de cáncer de mama en estadio 4, porque no había momento más importante que el presente en conseguir la verdad, o al menos lo que ella considera la verdad.

Shannen dice: "No hay una historia revisionista en la verdad que dijimos, no hay retraso que establecer, no hay mediador durante meses y meses. Recuerdo los hechos como si todavía estuviera viviendo en ellos".

Shannen reflexiona sobre la gravedad del asunto, señalando que mientras alguien puede tildarla de dramática, fue un trauma real con el que vivió durante un tiempo extremadamente largo, y su batalla contra el cáncer solo sirvió para curarla del medio que le fue arrebatado a ella y a su familia porque "alguien más quería ser el número 1 en la hoja de llamadas".

Está claro que no hay ceder en el extremo de Shannen - y lo mismo para Alyssa, que al parecer negó las acusaciones de Shannen en otro panel en la convención del viernes, diciendo que está "triste" por toda la "toxicidad" que rodea el espectáculo. Añadió que también estaba molesta de que "la gente no puede moverse más allá de ella" y que esto estaba eclipsando el éxito de la serie.

La 66ª edición de los Grammy no ha empezado de la mejor manera, porque la Academia ha hecho que Warren Beatty, ¡y los fans de Nicki Minaj se enfaden!

Así es la cosa, los Grammys no comienzan hasta las 5 PM, pero antes de la ceremonia, la Academia utiliza su cuenta de X para entregar algunos de los trofeos, básicamente para reducir el tiempo durante la ceremonia.

Uno de esos premios, Mejor Canción de Rap, le fue entregado a Nicki Minaj y Ice Spice por su canción "Barbie World", fue un gran momento para los raperos, pero no duró porque, la Academia aparentemente tuvo que retirarlo.

Verás... la Academia borró ese tuit de felicitación y publicó uno diferente, diciendo que Killer Mike en realidad había ganado el trofeo por su tema "Scientists & Engineers" con André 3000, Future, y Eryn Allen Kane.

Nicki ya ha pasado por esto antes, lleva 12 nominaciones sin llevarse un premio. También fue nominada a Mejor Canción Escrita para Medios Visuales, pero perdió frente a Billie Eilish y FINNEAS por "What Was I Made For?". ¡Cuando llueve, diluvia!

Pero si alguien se lo está tomando peor que Nicki, son las Barbz, que piensan que toda la ceremonia está arreglada.

De hecho, están tan seguros de esto que tienen #Scammys y #BarbieWorld como trending en X, básicamente afirmando que la Academia amañó los resultados debido a la explosiva pelea entre Nicki y Megan Thee Stallion.

The 66th Grammy Awards aren't off to the best start ... 'cause the Recording Academy pulled a Warren Beatty -- and Nicki Minaj fans are PISSED!!!

Here's the deal ... the Grammys don't start until 5 PM PT, but before the ceremony, the Recording Academy uses its X account to hand out some of the trophies -- basically to cut down time during the ceremony.

One of those awards ... Best Rap Song, which was won by Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice for their song "Barbie World" -- a huge moment for the rappers -- except it didn't last 'cause the Academy seemingly took it back.

You see ... the Recording Academy deleted that congratulatory tweet and posted a different one -- saying Killer Mike had actually won the trophy for his track "Scientists & Engineers" featuring André 3000, Future, and Eryn Allen Kane.

Multiple outlets are reporting KM as the real winner of the Gramophone... so it seems NM and IS are officially out of luck!

Nicki's been through this song and dance before ... she's now racked up 12 nominations without taking home a single one. She was also nominated for Best Song Written for Visual Media -- but lost that one to Billie Eilish and FINNEAS for "What Was I Made For?" When it rains, it pours!

But if anyone's taking it harder than Nicki ... it's the Barbz -- who think the whole damn ceremony is rigged.

In fact, they're so sure about this they've got #Scammys and #BarbieWorld trending on X ... basically claiming the Academy rigged the results because of Nicki's explosive beef with Megan Thee Stallion.

So is there some kinda of grand conspiracy going on, or just an honest mistake from the Recording Academy's social media manager? Let us know below.

Alyssa Milano's responding to claims she got Shannen Doherty fired from "Charmed" way back in the early 2000s ... well, kinda.

The actress -- who played Phoebe Halliwell on 178 episodes of "Charmed" from 1998 to 2006 -- hit the stage at 2024 MegaCon Orlando Friday to talk about the hit show ... and, of course, Shannen Doherty's controversial comments came up.

ICYMI ... Doherty hopped on her podcast titled "Let's Be Clear with Shannen Doherty" back in December and spoke with former costar Holly Marie Combs about their experiences on the show -- and with Milano.

Among the many stories -- Holly said Alyssa went to the producers and laid down an ultimatum ... axe Shannen or she'd quit and sue "Charmed" for being a hostile workplace which led to Doherty's unceremonious exit.

Obviously, fans needed to get an answer from Alyssa, and they got one ... just one that completely skirted the claims themselves.

Check out the video taken by a fan at the convention and posted to YouTube. Alyssa starts by saying she wants to address the elephant in the room, but she basically avoids the tusks and trunk entirely.

Instead of answering the claims directly, Milano kept reiterating how "sad" she was by all of the "toxicity" surrounding the show before saying she was upset "people can’t move past it. And I’m sad that we all can’t just celebrate the success of a show that meant so much to all of us."

It seems Milano did get choked up while saying her piece, appearing to brush away tears onstage ... but she didn't clear up what happened with Doherty's exit, and the whole thing actually makes it seem like Milano may have done exactly what SD accused her of.

BTW ... Alyssa's active on Twitter -- retweeting a couple posts about her comments at the convention, but not adding any new info as of yet.

Shannen's still got her podcast though ... so maybe another Alyssa Milano-filled episode coming soon?

Britney Spears' recent post deserves another look ... 'cause it seemed like an innocent throwback with her sis, but it might've been a coded dig at her mom.

The 42-year-old singer-songwriter took to Instagram Saturday afternoon to share a sweet pic from back in the day with her sister Jamie Lynn Spears ... showing BS in a black turtleneck with JLS pulling off 2000s chic in her brown cap and bright orange T.

Brit captioned the pic, "Throwback!!! I can't stop laughing" followed by some laughing emojis. She even went as far as tagging her sister in the caption ... so it seems the two may even still be on speaking terms!

However, another family member was also in the photo, but didn't make the cut on Spears' IG grid ... 'cause Lynne Spears is off to the left in the actual pic!

Here's the full photo from way back in 2002 ... and there's Lynne in the bright red top, pearly-white smile on her face.

So why didn't she make the cut on Instagram ... there are any number of innocuous reasons for the exclusion like Britney only wanted to show her and Jamie's faces -- both of which are highlighted by rather funny expressions. Or, perhaps, the full pic wouldn't fit on Insta, so Britney was forced to cut Lynne out.

But, with all the turmoil in Brit's family from the past -- and the fact that Spears didn't even mention cutting her mom out in the caption -- it's always possible the two had another falling out despite their attempts at reconciliation.

We broke the story ... Britney and Lynne started working through their issues weeks before Mama Spears attended her daughter's 42nd birthday celebration at the beginning of December.

Everything seemed to be heading down the right path ... with Lynne expressing hope her daughter would come to Lousiana for Christmas to keep the good times rolling.

Since then though, we haven't heard a peep ... which suggests the wheels may have fallen off their relationship though we certainly don't know anything for sure.

On a brighter note ... Jamie Lynn seems to be back in Britney's good graces! We knew a reconciliation between the two was also taking place back in December though the actress wouldn't tell us anything when we caught up with her at LAX.

So, it seems we'll just have to wait and see if Lynne has anything to say about getting the axe from Brit's pic.

Gracie Bon's goal to get bigger seats in airplanes to accommodate her huge ass might've gotten a laugh on social media -- but she's not chuckling ... telling us she's dead serious.

We talked to the Instagram model about her recent viral "petition" about rejiggering the configuration of flights -- so that seating areas are larger, for people of size to fit comfortably -- and while she admits it was half-jokey ... there was some truth to what she was arguing for.

As she explains to us here ... this issue is actually quite pervasive, and it often gets turned into one big punchline at the expense of people who are truly struggling with it.

Yes, she's got a big butt ... something she says she can't help, and for which she shouldn't be punished either -- that's her argument anyway.

She also says people chiming in with mean/hurtful comments aren't helping either ... and she thinks companies should be more thoughtful about customers of shapes and sizes.

Gracie says she's actually used to buying two seats to deal with this problem -- and figured a first-class flight would solve it -- but to her dismay, it didn't ... and she now realizes that some major changes need to be instituted to address this very real problem. No, she's not kidding.
