Jamie Lynn Spears has a memoir in the works. The book, "Things I Should Have Said," gives an intimate look into her personal struggles as a child actress, teen mother and public figure. She said, "I owe it to myself, my younger self, and to my daughters to be an example that you should never edit yourself or your truth to please anyone else. I know I still have ALOT of learning to do, but I feel like finishing this book gave me closure on this '30 year long' chapter of my life, and hopefully helps anyone else out there who forgot their worth, lost their voice, or is trying to break an unhealthy cycle in their life." "Things I Should Have Said" hits shelves on January 18th, 2022. And apparently, that wasn't always the title. The working title had been "I Must Confess," a line from the chorus of her sister Britney Spears' 1998 debut single "Baby One More Time"... but after some backlash, she changed it, since it's such a "sensitive time" for the Spears family, considering all that's going on with the #FreeBritney movement.
MrBeast has done it again. For his latest pricey stunt, the YouTuber surprised nine-year-old fan Alexander Hedge and his family with a brand-new Tesla. The craziest part is that Alexander almost missed the news. He had asked his dad if he could buy an item from MrBeast's new merch line, so he could appear in a video as an "executive producer" as promised by MrBeast. Dad said yes, and they were psyched to get a pic of Alexander's name in the video credits… and then they turned off the video before the part where it was revealed they had just won a Tesla. Eventually, word got around, and MrBeast ended up delivering it to the family's house a few weeks later.
Chris Pearson, a season one contestant from "Ex on the Beach," has died after being stabbed. Sources say he had been down at the pool in his apartment complex in the middle of the night with his girlfriend, making a lot of noise around 2 AM Sunday. He got into it with a guy from the building, and that's when he was fatally stabbed, according to TMZ. Police are still searching for the suspect.
"Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Erika Jayne claims she has no income, but The L.A. Times reports that her paycheck for season 11 of the Bravo show is $600,000. Apparently, the drama in her personal life has paid off for the network, so they gave her a raise. Is $600,000 really going to get her far considering she and her husband are being sued over the $25 million they scammed from his clients to pay her bills? I guess that's why she's crying poor. She can't be that poor – I've seen her paparazzi shopping photos.

Dog the Bounty Hunter has bailed on his 2-week search for Brian Laundrie, according to TMZ, because he hurt his ankle during the search. Dog wants to see his regular doctor in Colorado for his injury, but he's not giving up yet - he's still raising funds to help the team he's put together to continue searching. Side note – Dog isn't licensed as a bounty hunter at this time, and if he does find Brian Laundrie and take him into "custody," he could be charged with kidnapping.

Machine Gun Kelly will not be prosecuted for allegedly getting physical with a parking lot attendant, according to TMZ. There doesn't appear to be enough evidence to prove an assault happened. However, the parking lot attendant, John Martin Tilli, filed his own suit claiming MGK and his team were all involved in pushing him around. The 49-year-old is suing for assault, battery, negligence and elder abuse. Sources close to MGK say he did yell at the man because he was interrupting filming, but he never physically touched him.

Ed Sheeran and wife Cherry Seaborn got married in 2018, but Ed now reveals that his proposal didn't exactly go as planned. In a recent interview with the Swedish talk show "Skavlan," Ed said he had planned it out with "sunset, pergola, some wine" but it was pouring rain. Ed said he kept trying to get Cherry to take a walk with him but she wouldn't because of the weather. But it was important because "there was a date engraved on the ring and I was like, 'I've got to do it today!,'" he explained. And when Ed finally did propose, he didn't get the initial reaction he was expecting and had to practically beg her but, "Thankfully, she did say yes." As for the wedding, during an interview on "Table Manners" podcast, he described their wedding as "a tiny affair, with hardly anyone there." Ed said, "We did it at night, at a random day in the middle of January, in the middle of nowhere. No one knew, no one came to it, we lit candles and we got married, went back and had a curry." They did eventually have a celebration with friends later and were able to keep it quiet by banning all mobile phones. Ed added, "The wedding party was more a celebration of us and our friends. I didn't want pictures getting out and I'm surprised they didn't. Everyone was very present."
It appears that Justin Bieber has been duped by an online deepfake. He commented on a video of "Tom Cruise" playing guitar and singing, except it was made by the @deeptomcruise TikTok account and was created by artificial intelligence. But Justin must have thought it really was Tom because he commented, "@TomCruise I'm impressed by your guitar skills," and then once again joked about fighting him in the boxing ring. He even went so far as to post his own version of the song the AI Tom Cruise was covering.
Justin ended his comments by writing, "All jokes aside @tomcruise your shredding on that guitar."
"Real Housewives of Orange County" star Meghan King, who divorced baseball star Jim Edmonds in May, has married President Joe Biden's nephew, Cuffe Owens. It was a "small, family wedding" at Cuff's parents' house in Pennsylvania. President Biden and first lady Dr. Jill Biden were there, according to Brides. Meghan and Jim's three kids were there. Meghan said, "We told the kids they could walk down the aisle with me if they wanted to. Aspen said she wanted 'to throw flowers at me' so it was decided she would be the flower girl!"
Mindy Kaling showed off her daughter Katherine's nearly-$23,000 playground. It features a wooden castle playset with two swings, a rock-climbing wall, a spyglass, a bucket on a pulley rope and a play steering wheel. But hey, our kids got lots of cardboard boxes so there....
