Well, look what Britney Spears has under the tree this year … a new dude who looks a lot like her old one, ex-husband Sam Asghari.

Brit and the mystery man enjoyed a fun day off the California coast … Tuesday night she posted a video of her and Sam 2.0 hanging out on a boat.

Britney was rocking a bikini, as per usual, but it looked way more appropriate in the nautical setting than her living room. She did give the guy a few kisses on the cheek, but no word on if this is a new romantic interest … or just a friend with a boat.

She didn’t include any cryptic hints in her caption about the guy — just the emojis 😉😉💅🏻👠👠 — but we’re working on it.

Anyway, it’s been more than 2 years since Britney and Sam split up, and she just might have that ol’ saying in mind — any port in a storm.

A former Rhode Island mayoral candidate wasn’t very diplomatic toward a cop during a recent traffic stop — calling the officer a “d–k” while dropping the ol’, “Do you know who I am?” line.

It all started on December 18 … Maria Bucci, the current chair of the Cranston Democratic City Committee, was pulled over by a police officer in East Greenwich, RI, and the situation quickly turned ugly.

Making matters worse, the officer switched on his bodycam, capturing every moment of Bucci’s terrible attitude. As you can see, Bucci was difficult right from the start, making faces at the officer as he tells her she smells like booze and was driving erratically.

Bucci then told the cop to stop embarrassing her and her friend, who was with her. After the cop says he’s just doing his job, Bucci did her, “Do you know who I am” routine.

The cop says he doesn’t know her, and then warns her not to name drop because it’s not going to work with him.

At some point, things suddenly take a turn for the worse, and Bucci goes off the rails before getting cuffed and stuffed inside the back of a patrol car.

Whitney Purvis has avoided arrest in her ongoing child support case after coughing up a hefty payment ordered by a judge … TMZ has learned.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, the “16 and Pregnant” alum was on the brink of being arrested after the court found she’d fallen more than $23K behind on child support for her kids — Weston Jr. and River — with ex Weston Gosa.

The judge ordered Purvis be taken into custody and jailed unless she paid a $4K lump sum purge payment to avoid jail time. Court docs now show she paid the full amount … so the judge rescinded the order before she was ever arrested.

Purvis is still on the hook moving forward because she’s been ordered to continue paying $353 per month in current child support, plus $20 per month toward the arrears, along with additional processing fees.

We broke the story … Purvis was previously in police custody after being arrested on a felony involuntary manslaughter charge tied to an alleged fatal overdose. Police claimed she intentionally distributed Tranq, a fentanyl-xylazine mixture, which they say caused John Mark Harris to die from a toxic overdose.
