Kristin Cavallari says she was contacted and then promptly ghosted by Britney Spears after floating theories about the singer being a clone — only leading Cavallari to double down on her claims.

The “Laguna Beach” alum revealed her Tuesday podcast “Let’s Be Honest” that Spears’ manager reached out to her publicist to connect the two. Cavallari said she later received a “roller coaster” of a text message from Spears before never hearing from her again.

Cavallari admitted having an inkling Spears had heard about the comments she made previously on her podcast and wanted to dispel the rumors.

“Her manager puts us on a group chat and . . . called us two icons coming together, blah, blah, blah,” Cavallari said. “Then Britney sent me a text and I’m not going to read it. I would love to ... take my word. It’s a bit of a roller coaster.”

Cavallari, 37, said she could tell it was Spears, describing the text as “one big run-on sentence.”

“It was one of the more interesting texts I’ve ever received,” she said, adding Spears discussed hanging out the next time Cavallari visits L.A.

Cavallari said she then decided to text Spears privately outside the group thread, telling her they should get together when she’s in L.A. next month.

She said Spears never responded. “Now I do think you’re a clone,” she said. “I don’t think it’s you. I don’t want to hang out.”

After allegedly being ghosted, Cavallari said the initial message was an attempt to silence her and did not “seem genuine” to her. “You’re just trying to shut me up because I’m obviously on to something!”

Last month, Cavallari took a deep dive into Hollywood conspiracy theories, claiming on her podcast both Spears and Kanye West are clones of their former selves.

Tito Jackson's funeral is held at cemetery where brother Michael and father Joe are buried

GLENDALE, Calif. — A funeral was held for Tito Jackson at the same Southern California cemetery where his brother Michael Jackson and his father Joe Jackson are buried.

Family and friends gathered Monday to mourn the singer and guitarist for the Jackson 5 and the Jacksons at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, about seven weeks after his death at age 70. He lived in Claremore, Oklahoma.

Photos from several media outlets showed that mourners included siblings Marlon and La Toya Jackson, as well as Michael's children Paris and Bigi Jackson.

Tito Jackson's sons said on Instagram that after the service, a smaller family ceremony was held a few miles away at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills, where he was laid to rest.

Tito Jackson's Sept. 15 death was the second among the nine Jackson siblings after Michael Jackson died at age 50 in 2009. Tito Jackson was the third child of Joe and Katherine Jackson. His mother is among his survivors and is now 94.

Michael Jackson was laid to rest 15 years ago in a mausoleum at the Glendale cemetery near Los Angeles, which is also the burial place of Elizabeth Taylor and Walt Disney. Joe Jackson was buried there in 2018.

Elon Musk slams J.Lo for not warning people about Diddy

NEW YORK — Elon Musk is pointing the finger at Jennifer Lopez for not sounding the alarm against ex-boyfriend Sean “Diddy” Combs, who’s currently locked up at Metropolitan Detention Center, Brooklyn, N.Y., on federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges.

Musk, 53, pulled no punches discussing the pop star, 55, during a Monday interview on Joe Rogan’s podcast.

“J.Lo was like his ex-girlfriend .... How many people did she warn against Diddy? Oh zero, OK,” he said. “Maybe we shouldn’t trust her.”

“People in the music entertainment industry had to know that Diddy was like abusing, you know, kids basically, and yet they still fed him kids,” Musk said.

Combs, 55, was taken into federal custody in mid-September, amid mounting lawsuits accusing him of offenses including sex trafficking, sexual abuse, and drugging. Multiple Diddy accusers say they were minors at the time of the alleged crimes, many of which date back decades.

Lopez and Combs were together from 1999 to 2001, during which time one anonymous accuser says she was drugged and raped by Diddy and a second celebrity. The Jane Doe claims she was 13 when the alleged assault took place.

While together in late 1999, Lopez and Diddy were involved in a shooting at a New York City nightclub that left three wounded. The musicians fled the scene and, along with Combs’ bodyguard, were arrested and charged for their involvement, though the charges against Lopez were dropped.

Despite victim Natania Reuben remaining adamant she was shot by Combs, he and his bodyguard, Anthony “Wolf” Jones, were acquitted of gun possession charges. Former Bad Boy rapper Jamal “Shyne” Barrow, who was 21 at the time, served a decade in prison.

On the heels of Combs’ arrest, Shyne said Diddy “destroyed” his life when the hip-hop mogul “pretty much sent me to prison.”

Lopez has not publicly addressed any of the allegations against Combs. According to multiple outlets, she has even dodged direct questions about her ex during recent sightings, similar to many other famous faces linked to Combs who have remained mum following his arrest.
