We didn't think it was possible -- but Ne-Yo's baby mama just broke the African-child-adopting records set by Madonna AND Angelina Jolie ... combined ... agreeing to adopt 48 children in Swaziland.

Full disclosure -- Monyetta Shaw's not actually taking 48 children back to the United States with her ... but she did agree to pay for their living costs for an entire year ... a nearly $20,000 commitment.

Sources tell TMZ, "Football Wives" star Chanita Foster (below) -- who founded a charity called Beyond the Game to provide children in Swaziland with food, clothes, and education -- got in touch with Monyetta about sponsoring a child or two ... and Monyetta agreed.


But we're told, once Monyetta saw the 48 young faces in the charity's brochure -- she fell in love ... and insisted on adopting all of them.

Each kid costs roughly $30 a month -- and Monyetta adopted 48 for an entire year ... which means she's in for $17,280. Not bad.

Of course, to provide similar care in the U.S. would run roughly the same ... PER CHILD

Not even Michael Jackson's 13-year-old daughter Paris can resist the charms of Justin Bieber -- introducing him moments ago at her father's tribute show in Hollywood ... and nearly melting in the process.

In her intro, Paris said, "We are all very big fans of [Justin] and his music" -- and then, with a coy smile, she added, "I know I am."

Justin then emerged and performed his own rendition of "Rockin' Robin" -- which MJ famously covered on his first solo album back in 1972. It wasn't half bad either.

Paris Jackson really is a chip off the old King of Pop.

In the middle of playing high school softball the 13-year-old outfielder broke out one of her late dad Michael Jackson's famous dance steps.

She's got the moves like Jackson.

She's just 5 years old, but "Toddlers & Tiaras" star Isabella Barrett is already making nightclub appearances -- singing songs about her sex appeal -- and TMZ has obtained video evidence.

Barrett graced Libation NYC with her presence Monday night for a special charity fundraising event -- where she danced and sang along to LMFAO's "Sexy and I Know It."

In case you forgot -- Isabella is the same girl who said her fellow "Toddlers" star Paisley Dickey dresses like "a hooker."

Sure, the video's pretty cute -- but when we were six ... we sang songs from "Barney & Friends."

Looking like Marky Mark wannabes, 17-year-old Justin Bieber and his dad 37-year-old Jeremy showed off their smooth shirtless chests on the beach in L.A. on Wednesday.

There's nothing like quality topless family bonding.

Shameless underage fame whore Courtney Stodden couldn't leave well enough alone this weekend -- stripping down to a sacrilegiously tiny bikini in 30-degree weather ... and single-handedly destroying our Christmas spirit.

We can't decide if this makes it more or less creepy, but the guy in the Santa suit is Courtney's 51-year-old husband Doug Hutchinson -- and Saturday, the barely legal couple abandoned whatever shred of dignity they had left ... and exchanged dirty talk in the snow just north of L.A.

Quick reminder: Courtney won't be 18 until August 2012. Bad, bad, bad Santa.

Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, and all of their various children hit up "Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour" in Las Vegas last night.

Perhaps the tix were a birthday gift ... Brad turns 48 today.

Looking like twinsies, Eddie Cibrian's current wife LeAnn Rimes and his "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" ex-wife Brandi Glanville got within arm's length of each other at Eddie & Brandi's kid's soccer game in L.A. this weekend.

For once they were on the same team.

Jennifer Hudson took her slender figure out for a stroll with her yoked wrestler fiancé David Otunga and their adorable son little David in L.A. on Thursday.

From the looks it, Jen and David have everything worked out.

Justin Bieber was smothered by his smokin' hot adult girlfriend Selena Gomez in Mexico yesterday ... and was so impressed by her incredible physique ... he snapped a few pics to capture the moment.

The couple is south of the border for a friend's wedding ... but yesterday, they spent the day taking in some sun at the hotel pool ... because, why not?

Abigail Breslin's hourly rate is $16,250 -- at least when she's doing voice work for her new animated movie "Zambezia" ... this according to her contract for the film.

TMZ has obtained 15-year-old Breslin's payment agreement with film producers -- and according to the docs, she earned a grand total of $65,000 for one 4-hour recording session ... voicing the character of Zoe, an adorable bird (right).

It's not Abigail's only massive payday this year either -- back in May she signed a one-week contract for the upcoming movie "New Year's Eve" ... worth $275,000.

What did you do when you were 15?
