The stepfather of Louis Tomlinson's baby mama has a big problem with a One Direction fan whom he claims posts lies about her, Louis and their child.

Briana Jungwirth's stepdad, Brett Clark, sent a letter to the woman who owns a few 1D fan sites accusing her of defaming Briana, Louis and 11-month old Freddie ... and he's threatening a lawsuit.

Clark says the woman insults Briana's hair, calls her a gold digger, and worst of all, re-posted another fan's theory that the real baby daddy is the stepdad.

The woman who runs these 1D fan sites answered Clark's threat by saying he's the harasser. She says she has a right to express her opinion -- First Amendment and all -- so if he wants to sue he can knock himself out.

Co-starring with the likes of Billy Bob Thornton and William Hurt is making a 15-year-old kid a ton o' dough ... as in six figures before he can even drive alone.

Britain Dalton is on David E. Kelly's Amazon lawyer drama, "Goliath" ... and according to the kid's contract, he's making $12,500 per episode for the first season of 8 episodes. That's $100k payday for a kid with just a handful of films under his belt.

Under California law, 15% of a child actor's pay goes into a trust until they turn 18. Sooo ... he'll get a nice bonus in December 2019.

If you’re single and can’t find anyone to mingle with this New Year’s Eve you can always count on your furry friend for a midnight smooch ... slobber through the tongue-filled photos to see which stars are swappin' spit with their pets.

Conor Kennedy -- grandson of Robert Kennedy and Taylor Swift's ex -- probably wishes he could "begin again" after getting arrested early Thursday morning after a bar fight.

Cops say Kennedy was throwing punches in the street and rolling around on the ground outside Bootsy Bellows nightclub in Aspen. Kennedy told officers the fight started after the other guy called his friend the f word.

According to the police report Conor was struggling with an officer who tried restraining him.

The scuffle went down around 1:30 AM ... Kennedy was cited for disorderly conduct and released without bond. He's due in court on Feb. 22.

Conor apologized to the cop after he was arrested.

Kennedy dated Taylor Swift in 2012 ... when she was all about Hyannis Port.

Pink and Carey Hart have shown supreme allegiance to their favorite whisky, by naming their new baby Jameson.

TMZ obtained a copy of the birth certificate, making Jameson Moon Hart official.

The kid was born the day after Xmas at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A.

The family of Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds took a trip to a famous Hollywood cemetery Thursday ... apparently to make plans to bury their loved ones.

Todd Fisher and other relatives showed up at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, a legendary resting place for celebs that abuts Paramount Studios.

Amongst those commemorated there ... George Harrison, Douglas Fairbanks, Cecil B. DeMille, Rudolph Valentino, and Jayne Mansfield.

We're told Debbie has a family plot at the cemetery.

As we reported, the family is serious about a dual funeral for both Carrie and Debbie.

Debbie Reynolds' movies are back on top again in the wake of her death ... and numbers don't lie.

Debbie's biggest films have jumped in the ranks on platforms like Amazon and iTunes, with her best known flick, "Singin' in the Rain," sitting pretty at #1 on Amazon's best sellers list as of Thursday.

The same movie was nowhere near that position as of Wednesday night.

Other Debbie movies have climbed the ladder as well -- "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" and a "Tammy and the Bachelor" triple feature pack are both among the top 4 best selling DVDs on Amazon.

Meanwhile, Debbie's films have suddenly been moved to iTunes' New and Noteworthy list since her passing ... even though the movies are at least 20 years old.

Carrie Fisher isn't being left out of the surge either. The film "Postcards from the Edge," based on her memoir about Debbie and Carrie's relationship, has also bumped up in iTunes' charts.

BTW ... a rep from YouTube also tells us any clips with "Singin' in the Rain" have shot up in searches by 1000% between Wednesday and Thursday. Yup, you read that right.

Ronda Rousey just faced off with Amanda Nunes at the UFC 207 weigh-ins ... and it was INTENSE!

Nunes -- nicknamed "The Lioness" -- showed up in lion mask and looked VERY easy going about the whole fight.

Ronda flashed a smile for a quick second before returning to angry mode.

But the big story was the confrontation between Cody Garbrandt and Dominick Cruz -- when they yelled and pushed at each other during the showdown.

Carrie Fisher's body is in limbo right now ... because the L.A. County Coroner is not sure how to proceed ... TMZ has learned.

The double tragedy has had a rippling effect ... complicating funeral plans. Family sources tell us when Carrie died the Coroner contacted her daughter, Billie, for permission to conduct an autopsy because she's the next of kin. We're told Billie -- who was distraught -- deferred authority to her dad, CAA honcho Bryan Lourd.

The family sources tell us their attorneys contacted the Coroner and expressed some concerns about moving forward, though they would not be specific. We do know families often contact the Coroner and ask that they not perform an autopsy, often for religious reasons.

We're told for now the Coroner is just waiting. In addition to the autopsy, the Coroner needs to know about what happened on the United jet when Carrie's heart just stopped beating, what meds she was on and her medical history ... in order to determine cause of death.

We're told when Debbie died Wednesday ... it threw the entire family into chaos and it has further complicated the manner in which Carrie's body will be handled.

Andy Cohen is a little late for a "Baywatch" audition, but he still looked good in red trunks, braving the warm waters of St. Barth with his boyfriend.

In case you don't know, St. Barth is the "everybody who's anybody" place to go for Xmas and New Year's, so A.C. was right there rubbing elbows.

Rae Sremmurd threw a superhero-themed bash for Slim Jxmmi's birthday, and it makes you wonder why Batman and Superman spend so much time fighting crime.

Several big names showed up at Think Tank Art Gallery in L.A. for the celebration -- Keke Palmer, Skrillex, Bella Thorne, Diplo, Mara Teigen, Ty Dolla $ign -- and there was no shortage of fun for them to have.

Arcade games, video games, ping pong, a photo booth, a taco stand, a 3D video wall, plenty of drinks and a smoke selection provided by Weedmaps ... this is how a superhero should truly live.

Run-DMC's accusing Walmart and Amazon of slapping the group's famous logo on the products the superstores are hawking.

The Run-DMC brand has filed a lawsuit that says the mega retailers are advertising, selling, manufacturing, promoting and distributing multiple products with the logo, making people believe the group is behind the merch.

According to the lawsuit, the products include glasses, hats, t-shirts, patches, wallets and numerous other items. Run-DMC claims the giant retailers have been in bed for years with several other companies -- which it's also suing -- for straight-up stealing the logo.

Run-DMC says its logo is incredibly valuable, pointing to a $1.6 million agreement with Adidas. And that's why Run-DMC's asking for $50 million in damages.

We've reached out to Walmart and Amazon, so far no word back.

Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez are officially single ... and he agreed to let her say, "I left you!"

Halle and Olivier filed for divorce at almost the exact same moment back in October 2015 ... she filed as the petitioner and he also filed as the petitioner seeking a divorce.

Under California law only one person can be the petitioner, and Olivier agreed to give Halle the honor.

Under the settlement, they will share physical and legal custody of 3-year-old Maceo.

For some reason, they decided to only deal with the custody issues and the property settlement is still unresolved. It's weird, because our sources say there's a prenup so there shouldn't be big issues.

Halle and Olivier married in 2013.

Serena Williams just got engaged to a guy who co-founded Reddit, and then announced it on his platform.

The tennis star detailed her story in a Reddit post, saying Alexis popped the question with a surprise trip to Rome -- where they apparently first met. She said he took her to the exact same table where they first talked ... and got on one knee.

Spoiler alert ... she said yes. Congrats!

Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher will have a joint funeral if some members of the family have their way ... TMZ has learned.

Close family members are meeting now to discuss funeral plans, and family sources tell us the sentiment is for a dual service.

It makes sense. TMZ broke the story, Debbie told her son Wednesday shortly before she was stricken with a stroke, "I miss her so much. I want to be with Carrie." One family member tells TMZ, "I think this is what they would have wanted" ... meaning a joint funeral.

We're told the family is leaning toward a private, small ceremony and a much larger second memorial service.

We're told they expect to make a decision today.
