Britney Spears has had a busy week. First, she reached a settlement with her father, agreeing to pay him a reported $2 million to cover his legal fees related to their conservatorship battle. Then she finalized her divorce from Sam Asghari. And to top it off, an ambulance was called to Hollywood's infamous Chateau Marmont early Thursday morning after a 911 call reported an injured woman, who turned out to be Britney. Rumors were flying that the “Stronger” singer got hurt while fighting with her on-again-off-again boyfriend, Paul Soliz. But Britney took to social media with her side of the story. And - true to form - her posts are leaving us with more questions than answers.

In a new lawsuit he filed yesterday, Dan Schneider (the man behind shows like “Zoey 101” and “The Amanda Show”) is accusing the “Quiet on Set” production team of defaming him. The ID docuseries details alleged abuse and misconduct at Nickelodeon, with a lot of the show’s focus on Schneider. But while Schneider recently apologized for some of his past behavior, he’s now claiming that the doc and its trailer imply that he was sexually inappropriate with some of the child actors on his shows. Schneider wants a jury trial to clear his name, but we’ll have to see if this all plays out in public.

Come on Aunt Babs, let's get you to bed. On Monday, living legend Barbra Streisand asked her friend (and former duet partner) Melissa McCarthy if she was using Ozempic. But the problem for Babs is that she asked the question in the comment section of one of the “Bridesmaids” star’s Instagram posts - for everyone to see. Oops! And people had a field day with it online. Now, both Melissa and Barbra are speaking up about the singing icon’s accidental flub. And from the looks of it, "funny girl" Melissa is not letting it “rain on her parade.”

Britney Spears has finally closed the book on her conservatorship. Last Friday, the “Toxic” singer settled with her father, failed gym owner Jamie Spears, and agreed to pay him a rumored $2 million to help cover his legal fees from their conservatorship battle. That payout comes at a time where her friends are worried about how she’s handling her money. Sources tell Page Six and TMZ that Britney’s burning through her money at an alarming rate. And they’re worried that #FreedBritney might be on her way to becoming #BrokeBritney.

Looks like Ellen DeGeneres is trying to stage a comeback...whether we like it or not. The comedian - once known for her “be kind” message - has been off the grid for the last couple of years after being accused by staff members of some pretty unkind behavior on her now-defunct talk show. But now Ellen is going back to her roots and performing stand-up again, even joking about being “kicked out of show business.” There’ve been mixed reactions to Ellen’s return to the stage. So will she be able to "dance" her way back into relevance, or will her comeback fall flat?

Last year, Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell starred in the rom-com, “Anyone But You.” And despite so-so reviews, it turned out to be a legit box office smash, raking in more than $200 million in ticket sales. The movie’s success might have had something to do with their off-screen chemistry, which was on full display during the promo push for the movie. Sydney and Glen’s flirtiness was off-the-charts on red carpets and photo shoots, and it got people thinking they were romantically involved (even though they were both in relationships). But now, in a New York Times article, Glen and Sydney are both giving us the inside story on whether the heat between them was real or just acting.

Are Kyle Richards’s days on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” numbered? A source told the Daily Mail that Bravo’s had it with Kyle being so cagey about her relationship with country singer, Morgan Wade. That source seems to think that if the OG cast member doesn’t start dishing about it soon - on camera - she may get the axe. Enter former RHOBH cast member Lisa Vanderpump! When she was asked about Kyle and Morgan, she gave us plenty to “munch” on. And she’s not the only one. Rihanna’s got Kyle’s "love (life) on the brain" too, and has her own theories about what’s going down with Morgan.

Is Chris Pratt the neighbor from hell? The “Guardians of the Galaxy” star and his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, recently plopped down $12.5 million for a 1950s home in ritzy Brentwood, California - and then promptly tore it down. And now the couple is facing a ton of online hate for razing what SurveyLA called a “potentially historic home” and replacing it with a huge 15,000-square-foot two-story home. Looks like someone’s not a "guardian" of mid-century architecture.

Over the weekend, Taylor Swift dropped a new double album, “The Tortured Poet’s Department,” and her Swifties lost their minds. They’ve been examining the lyrics for clues as to who she’s singing about. They’re calling attention to references about two of Taylor’s exes, Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy, as well as her current man, Travis Kelce. And a lot of people are sure that the album also includes a callout to her beef with Kim Kardashian. Dropping a double album in the midst of a massive world tour is definitely a flex. What can we say? God works hard, but Taylor Swift works harder.
