Jason Alexander crashed the wrong wedding!

On Thursday, Britney Spears’ attorney, Mathew Rosengart (above, right), released a fiery statement shortly after the pop icon’s ex-husband trespassed onto her private wedding venue and yelled her name.

As we reported, Alexander livestreamed the whole ordeal before he was ultimately arrested by police on an outstanding warrant — leaving Brit feeling freaked out by the whole thing. Understandably!

Naturally, Rosengart is royally pissed his client’s big day was almost ruined, and he made it clear to TMZ that Alexander needs to be locked up. While speaking to the outlet, the lawyer confirmed that Britney was unharmed, noting he’s “absolutely livid” over the situation. He shared:

“I am personally working with the sheriff’s department to ensure Mr. Alexander is aggressively prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

Sounds like the party’s over for Jason!

Jennifer Lopez was PISSED about sharing the Super Bowl halftime stage back in February of 2020!

Of course, at the time, the now-52-year-old pop icon graced the world stage for the NFL‘s big halftime show alongside another world-famous pop superstar: Shakira. But according to a new documentary tracking J.Lo’s career — and specifically focusing on the work that went into that halftime show appearance — that pairing was NOT ideal!

Halftime, the highly-anticipated documentary following the Jenny from the Block sensation as she enters her 50s, premiered this week at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City. The Netflix-produced doc, which is set to be released on the streaming app later this month, focused at one point on some of the major difficulties Lopez had sharing the stage with Shakira, as both A-listers tried to figure out how to work alongside each other.

At one point in the doc, Ben Affleck‘s partner slams the set-up, blaming NFL execs for having two women do a job that historically had gone to a single artist. Speaking candidly to her music director while rehearsing, the music legend said:

“We have six f**king minutes. We have 30 seconds of a song, and if we take a minute, that’s it, we’ve got five left. But, there’s got to be certain songs that we sing, though. We have to have our singing moments. It’s not going to be a dance f**king revue. We have to sing our message.”

And she didn’t stop there!

Lopez was particularly incensed at the execs who insisted on having two stars share the stage, saying:

“This is the worst idea in the world to have two people do the Super Bowl. It was the worst idea in the world. … This is something I have been working for and hoping for for years.”

Damn! Tell us how you really feel!

J.Lo wasn’t the only one who took issue with it, either. Her manager, Benny Medina, spoke in the new documentary as well. He offered historical context for the dramatic decision to put two artists in such close quarters for the halftime show:

“Typically, you have one headliner at a Super Bowl. That headliner constructs a show, and, should they choose to have other guests, that’s their choice. ‘It was an insult to say you needed two Latinas to do the job that one artist historically has done.”

Well, when you put it like that…

To Lopez and Shakira’s credit, they did find a way to work together. And they kept it professional! It’s just that, well, neither one wanted to share the stage with the other. Which makes sense! They’re both solo stars who fill stadiums on their own!

At one point in the film, during a rehearsal for the halftime event, the Colombian superstar can be seen telling Lopez:

“I know that the Super Bowl people want us to be weaved throughout the show. I haven’t had a confirmation about how many minutes I’m going to have.”

Lopez responds with grace:

“Let me address that really quick. They said 12 minutes. I got kind of a good confirmation that we could have an extra minute or two, so now we’re at, like, 13, 14 minutes. I think, Shakira, what we should have is you should have half the time and I should [have half].”

And J.Lo added more, too:

“If it was going to be a double-headliner, they should have given us 20 minutes. That’s what they should’ve f**king done.”

Amen!

Of course, Perezcious readers will recall the perfect pairing J.Lo and Shakira ended up making during the actual event. It was really something! (And just like Lopez guessed, it ended up being about 14 minutes!)

Refresh your memory with the performance (below):

It’s honestly notable to see this play out behind the scenes, because for the 2022 show at the big game, the NFL opted to go with a really big group of superstars to headline halftime: Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar, and 50 Cent.

So perhaps J.Lo and Shakira served as something of a test run for the league to move forward with more? Then again, in the year between these two, the NFL opted for a solo act… Hmmm…

BTW, Halftime also covers another controversial situation involving the halftime show — about how Lopez got on the bad side of the NFL’s content team for wanting to highlight children in cages as part of her performance. Of course, the superstar used the moment to make a political statement about the widespread outrage over immigrant children being held in cages at ICE detention centers during Donald Trump‘s presidency.

Lopez explained in the doc about how Medina took a lot of heat from the league during rehearsals over her wanting to have the cages as part of the show:

“We left rehearsal and I noticed everybody was freaking out, but I don’t know why. I get a call from Benny and he’s like, ‘They want to pull the cages.’ That night, the higher-ups at the NFL saw it for the first time and they’re like, ‘Hey, you can’t do that.’”

Benny added his own info about the league’s attempt at nixing the halftime theme, too:

“The NFL had a real concern about making a political statement about immigration. They looked at the plans, and the message was absolute. They did not want those cages in the show. That had come down from the highest authority.”

But J.Lo refused to budge!

She explained why it was so important to her as an artist — and as a human:

“For me, this isn’t about politics. This is about human rights. I’m facing the biggest crossroads of my life, to be able to perform on the world’s biggest stage, but to take out the cages and sacrifice what I believe in would be like never being there at all. There was a part of me that just got very zen and I was just like, ‘Benny I don’t care what you have to do, we’re not changing the show. The Super Bowl is tomorrow and we’re not changing anything.’”

Wow! Inspiring!

By the way, if you haven’t seen it yet, here is the trailer for Halftime (below), which is set to stream on Netflix beginning on Tuesday, June 14:

So much there!!

Wow… can U believe this s**t???

A car theft victim in Memphis, TN got her revenge by working with police to bust the man who allegedly stole her vehicle.

According to reports, 20-year-old Robert Mitchell (above)  stole the car of a woman he knew while it was parked at the Hotel Indigo.

Investigators said that Mitchell then called the woman and told her she could have her own car back for $3,000. It was the wrong move: the woman instead called the cops, who worked with her to set up a sting operation — and it went swimmingly!

The woman reportedly had Mitchell text her photos of the car to prove he had it, then arranged a time and place to buy it back. However, the cops were waiting when Mitchell got there, and he was charged with theft and extortion.

Mitchell was released on bond.

What in the world is going on down there, Memphis?!

Scott Disick is ready to move on for good — now that he definitively knows there’s no going back to the way things used to be with ex-partner and baby momma Kourtney Kardashian.

The 39-year-old Flip It Like Disick alum has a major storyline on this season of The Kardashians on Hulu, and in his arc, viewers see him struggle to accept Kourtney’s red-hot romance with husband Travis Barker.

But as it turns out, Scott is apparently now all the way over the 43-year-old Poosh founder. While he still loves her, he finally understands there’s no going back to a relationship with the mom of his three children! It’s #Kravis4ever, baby!

Related: Scott’s Relationship With Model Rebecca Donaldson Is Already Over! Sad Trombone!

An insider spoke to Us Weekly about Scott’s take on Kourtney’s relationship with Travis in a new report published on Wednesday afternoon. The timing is interesting, of course, considering Kourt just wed the Blink-182 drummer twice — first in Santa Barbara, and then later in Italy — over the past few weeks.

But to hear the source tell it, Scott knows that ship has sailed. In fact, the insider can point to the exact moment when Lord Disick knew it was all over! The source revealed as much to the mag:

“Once she became serious with Travis, he stopped trying to win her back. His feelings for her haven’t gone away — he’s always going to love her — he’s just having a hard time accepting the fact that she’s married.”

Wow!

And it was all over forever from there…

The fact that Scott and Kourt share 12-year-old Mason, 9-year-old Penelope, and 7-year-old Reign makes it so these two will never be fully out of each others’ lives. Maybe that makes it even more difficult, in a way: it can’t be easy to be nearby while watching Kourt fall head-over-heels in love with the 46-year-old tattooed drummer.

To that point, fans of The Kardashians will recall how back in April, Scott spoke to Kourt’s little sister Khloé Kardashian about feeling like he’s being “left out” of the famous family as his ex moves on with her new man:

“Feeling left out and not being told anything is super hurtful — especially when I don’t have another family to go to. I rather be around them and be around my family than not at all. Honestly I think for the first time in my life it is finally starting to change. Now that Kourtney has her life with Travis, as hard as it is, it does give me a place to finally be able to move on.”

The Talentless founder didn’t stop there.

In fact, he continued on from his convo with Khloé to add a particularly poignant point in a confessional clip on that episode of the streaming series, as well:

“It was a huge adjustment losing Kourtney romantically, but now it has become a huge adjustment losing her as sort of a best friend. Now we are really more coparents. I would say it is probably one of the more difficult things in my life.”

Honestly, to some degree, we feel for the guy. It definitely can’t feel good to watch your ex move on in such a spectacular and public fashion. But also, Scott brought a lot of this on himself! Like, a lot a LOT of it!! Just saying! Reactions, Perezcious readers??

As we told you, Britney Spears and Sam Asghari are getting married today. It’s something the Toxic singer has wanted for YEARS now, kept out of her grasp only by the chains of her conservatorship. But now that’s over, nothing can ruin her big day, right?

Well… According to a shocking report from TMZ, someone did his damnedest — her ex-husband Jason Alexander!

Jason, Brit’s first husband — for about 55 hours in 2004 — was apparently livestreaming on social media as he tried to get through security at his ex’s home on Thursday afternoon. He claimed in the video that “his first and only wife” had invited him, but security wasn’t buying it. There was some kind of physical altercation, and his phone got turned off.

Related: Britney’s Sons Won’t Attend Wedding??

According to TMZ, he was able to get past that guard and into Britney’s home. Scary stuff!

It’s unclear if he was able to make it to Britney or Sam, but someone there quick to call the police as he continued to livestream inside the house.

After just a few minutes the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department responded to a trespassing call at the pop star’s residence, ultimately being forced to physically restrain Jason on the ground outside!

Whoa!

This isn’t the first time Jason has gotten in trouble with the law. He was arrested more than once just last year, including for DUI, unlawful use of drug paraphernalia, possession of a controlled substance, and once even for… of all things, trying to bypass security. That time was at an airport, thankfully, and not another wedding. He was charged with a misdemeanor and fined. That time…

Just this past January he reportedly pleaded guilty to aggravated stalking and violating an order of protection. The identity of the female victim was not released, but we can be reasonably certain it wasn’t Britney as this was all the way in Tennessee. The 40-year-old was sentenced to a year of probation — which isn’t even close to being up. So something tells us trespassing on the property of another woman, an ex-wife even, might have violated the terms of his parole.

Innerestingly, Jason has been quite vocal about Britney lately. In 2020 he attended a #FreeBritney rally outside an LA courthouse where a hearing about her conservatorship was going on.

Last Summer he spoke out about how she was being controlled even before the conservatorship — saying she was manipulated into annulling their brief marriage. At the time that seemed like an account to help us understand — but it kind of feels now like he might have been communicating how important she still was to him? And no one noticed??

The USA Network must now figure out what to do with their long-running reality TV series Chrisley Knows Best following the shocking conviction of the show’s two biggest stars on charges of bank fraud and tax evasion.

As we’ve been reporting, Todd Chrisley and his wife, Julie Chrisley, were convicted on Tuesday of federal charges relating to bank fraud and tax evasion following a three-week-long trial in Atlanta. The disgraced couple is potentially facing decades in prison. They’ll know that fate soon enough, though, when the sentencing phase following their guilty verdict takes place in early October.

The fallout from the shocking federal case is coming down too, even as the Chrisleys have already indicated that they plan to appeal. For one, those adjacent to the embattled Chrisley couple are starting to speak out mournfully about the conviction. And along with that, USA Network is scrambling to figure out WTF they should do with the second half of the ninth season of Chrisley Knows Best, which they had been planning to air beginning on June 23!

According to the Hollywood Reporter, USA “still plans to air” the second half of the show’s ninth season later this month even despite the federal court conviction this week. While reps for USA Network declined to comment to the outlet on Wednesday, the channel’s parent company, NBCUniversal, had previously announced the renewal of Chrisley Knows Best and another Chrisley spinoff series early last month — just a week before the federal trial began. So it’s been business-as-usual over there!

From USA Network’s perspective, it makes some sense. For one, they’ve already got the episodes in the can; a source told THR that all of this summer’s forthcoming Chrisley Knows Best episodes were filmed before the trial even began. And it also doesn’t hurt that the show is USA Network’s “most-watched original series,” according to the news outlet. Ratings drive decisions in situations like these — for better or worse.

Besides, Todd and Julie were first indicted on the federal charges back in August of 2019, and USA has aired at least 60 new episode of Chrisley Knows Best AND another 15 eps of the spinoff series Growing Up Chrisley in the nearly three years since that initial courtroom move. The news outlet reports that the family has not filmed the tenth season of their flagship show yet, however.

Still, if this is the way it’s been going on that network, well, why stop now? Of course, if federal prison is truly on the table when sentencing occurs in October, the reality show’s trajectory is definitely going to change… Just saying!

Johnny Depp likely has something to say about his daughter not speaking out during his defamation trial with Amber Heard – and is doing so through his art!

As you know, the 59-year-old actor won his high-profile legal case against Amber over her op-ed she wrote for The Washington Post in 2018. And while many people have since been vocal with their support or not for Johnny, one person has not spoken out throughout his recent legal battle: Lily-Rose Depp. The 23-year-old actress has remained silent and relatively inactive on social media throughout the trial, leading many fans to slam her on previous posts for not publicly supporting Johnny in any way:

“Not a single pic of your dad! What kind of human being are u!?”

“After years you will be gone and forgotten and people will only remember you as the daughter of a legendary man.”

“Why you never post anything of your father.”

Big yikes! Although Lily has not come to her father’s defense during the court battle, she previously voiced her thoughts about the allegations against Johnny in a since-deleted Instagram post in 2016, writing:

“My dad is the sweetest most loving person I know, he’s been nothing but a wonderful father to my little brother and I, and everyone who knows him, would say the same.”

So it has been inneresting that she has not said a word about the case — even after his win. Now, it seems that Johnny has addressed her recent silence in several pieces of new artwork being sold through his NFT project, Never Fear Truth. In case you didn’t know, the Pirates of the Caribbean alum launched the venture in January, which focuses on his “friends and heroes” with the website adding:

“People he has known well, and who have inspired him as a person. Each image is an intimate reflection of their character in Johnny’s eyes; a portrayal of how they have revealed themselves to him.”

There are a ton of different images of Johnny, Heath Ledger, Tim Burton, Al Pacino, and even Lily on the site. So what does he have to say about the model? Well, some pieces actually feature various quotes written across her face reading:

“Silence. Exile. Cunning.”

Whoa. FYI, this line is a paraphrase from the novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and Johnny has it tattooed on his arm. You can see one of the pieces (below):

Another old picture also says:

“Words become feeble.”

It is important to note that his 20-year-old son Jack Depp has not been a part of any of his NFTs, so this definitely seems like Johnny is calling out his daughter for her lack of continued support! Wonder how Lily must feel about this?

A new couple on the current season of Love Island UK isn’t sitting right with some fans!

In case you didn’t know, the popular reality series features several single people in the UK who take off to Mallorca, Spain for eight weeks in hopes of finding love on with their fellow castmates – oh, and the chance of bringing home a whopping £50,000 prize. Damn! Of course, there are a ton of shocking twists and surprises that happen throughout the season to test (and mess up) the relationships between the cast, including bringing in new lads and ladies to shake things up.

Related: Former Bachelorette Becca Kufrin Defends Proposing To Thomas Jacobs!

So unsurprisingly, the episode on Tuesday night of Love Island UK saw everyone (especially viewers) completely rattled by the arrival of a new contestant: Davide Sanclimenti. Why is that? When he joined the cast in the villa, he was given the ability to couple up with any girl in the cast. And in the first re-coupling of the season, Davide ended up choosing Gemma Owen, splitting up her recent pairing with 22-year-old master’s student Liam Llewellyn from South Wales. Davide explained his decision during the re-coupling:

“It’s not just attraction. Yes, she’s a stunning girl. We really had a good time and I would like to know her more.”

But there is one issue many fans have with this match – David is 27 years old while Gemma is only 19 years old! Many viewers flooded Twitter in outrage over the fact that a teenager was not only allowed on the show in the first place but that she was coupled up with someone who is 8 years older than her and in a completely different stage in her life than him. Even more so, fans were grossed out by the fact that Davide also expressed at one point in the episode that he usually dates younger women. Social media users expressed:

“ewwww i’m sorry but why does davide as a 27 year old want to be coupled up with a 19 year old.”

“Keep gemma away from davide. she’s a teenager and he is nearly 30 i am not here for it.”

“19 and 27 is a mad age gap … Gemma’s age means I can’t see her with any of them. Just feels wrong.”

“Please please please have a minimum age requirement of 21. I don’t want to see a 19-year-old kissing someone who’s pushing 30.”

“What will Gemma and Davide even speak about? What do a 27 year old and 19 year old even have in common? Pls”

“i find it so alarming that gemma and davide are together with an 8 year difference when she’s only just turned 19. It’s just a bit gross & no one’s mature at 19. I do think the minimum age for entering this show should be higher, there will be a difference in maturity”

“Some people have just missed the point with Gemma & Davide – it’s not just an ;age gap’. It’s the fact they’re in 2 different life stages. She’s a TEEN and he’s nearing THIRTY . I’d say the same thing if roles were reversed”

“As someone who was 19 and was with a 27 year old man, I can tell you that there is a problem with the age difference. You’re at different stages and on different pages at that point. Does Davide know she’s just a teenager?”

Someone also specifically pointed out how “utterly bizarre” it was to cast Gemma, especially considering how several former cast members have dealt with mental health issues after the show. Referring to contestants Mike Thalassitis and Sophie Gradon, as well as host Caroline Flack, who passed away by suicide, the person tweeted:

“When taking into account the potential risks to the mental wellbeing of contestants on Love Island as demonstrated through past events, it strikes me as utterly bizarre and irresponsible that the producers would this year decide to throw a teenager into the mix.”

What do YOU think about the age gap between Gemma and Davide, Perezcious readers? Do you think Love Island should raise the age requirement? Sound OFF with your reactions in the comments (below).

Kourtney Kardashian is fed up with how her storyline is being portrayed on The Kardashians — just like she had been fed up with the way things went down previously on Keeping Up with the Kardashians!!

Along with all of her sisters, the Poosh founder is an executive producer of the family’s Hulu series, which should theoretically mean she has some control over the content (and edits) of the new streaming episodes. But maybe the 43-year-old mom of three doesn’t have as much say as we thought??

Related: Here’s Why — And When — Scott Disick FINALLY Stopped Trying To Win Kourtney Back

In the newest Hulu ep released on Thursday, Kourt has a tense sit-down with longtime family friend Stephanie Shepherd. In their chat, the two discuss Kourt’s lovely love story with then-fiancé (and now-husband) Travis Barker. But Kourtney is clearly mad at how it’s being portrayed — or not being portrayed — on the show!!

The oldest KarJenner sister explained her concerns to Shepherd, revealing the series’ producers seem to be more concerned with Scott Disick‘s reaction to Kourt’s relationship than actually promoting the romance itself:

“We film and have the best time ever and we’ve been watching the edits and we’re just so annoyed because they’re swirling us in with this drama. Especially when I saw my engagement episode. Editors or whoever are taking it as, ‘Let’s take Kourtney, she’s the chosen one to be the drama.’”

Yikes!

In a confessional clip, Kourt revealed the sisters’ EP titles allow them to see early screeners of future episodes. With that, they are all able to give producers notes and suggestions to “make sure that our stories are being told.”

So when the first-look screeners came back focusing heavily on Lord Disick’s dramatic reactions to Kravis’ love story, Kourtney was not at all happy about it!

In particular, Kourtney referenced an episode that aired earlier this season and covered the time period just after Travis proposed to his now-wife on that SoCal beach.

In the clip, sis Kendall Jenner asked Kourtney whether she had any sympathy for her ex-partner and baby daddy, who had already been feeling left out of the fam even before the engagement. The scene devolved as Kourtney tried to explain that she wanted to focus on her future and not her past.

But according to the interior design aficionado’s new convo with Shepherd, the actual interaction with Kendall was TOTALLY different than the edited version eventually seen by viewers!

Kourtney explained:

“That night I wasn’t like, ‘God, everyone’s such f**king assholes for bringing up this,’ because it wasn’t a part of the night, it was like two seconds of the night. I didn’t even remember it until I saw the cut of the episode. It wasn’t like 50% of the night like it’s made to be on an episode.”

Wow!!

Well, reality TV editors are gonna do what reality TV editors do, we suppose. And yet it’s clear Kourtney is a little miffed by the show’s insistence on focusing on the Disick drama. Frustrated by how she’s being portrayed on screen, the star said:

“I wish they would take that out and put in the next episode, give us our respect, so it’s like, let us have our moment. I’m like, why is the fairy tale not being told? The true fairy tale that it is. I don’t want to be insensitive.”

We get it! The fairy tale is definitely a feel-good story! But drama draws in viewers! That’s not a new concept?? Just saying!

(BTW, producers did not put Scott’s reaction in “the next episode,” like Kourtney had hoped. It was right there with all the rest when the engagement went down. Womp, womp!)

Related: Kourtney Invited Scott To Kravis’ Italian Wedding ‘Knowing’ He ‘Wouldn’t Come’!

After Shepherd suggested producers probably shouldn’t “harp” on Scott’s storyline “out of respect” for the Blink-182 drummer, the mom of three dryly quipped about her past relationship:

“It is all good, we’ve been broken up for seven years. I’m allowed to create new memories and new ways of doing things.”

That’s true! In a confessional clip following that caustic line, the new Mrs. Barker put it all out there, concluding:

“I am in one of the best places I’ve ever been in my life and it’s time for our show to catch up. It’s enabling this old narrative and buying into something that doesn’t exist. It should be an empowering episode about me getting out of toxic relationships and really having this fairy tale love story that is my reality.”

There’s no question Kourtney has a point in wanting to be allowed to move on in her life — and her reality TV storyline — YEARS after splitting from Scott. But also, Scott’s storyline is popular. Viewers very clearly want to see it. Heck, we cover it pretty much everyday! LOLz!!

So focusing on her ex in the new show just makes sense! What do U think, Perezcious readers??
