celebrity kids

This smiling sweetie was born in Canada as Eilleen Regina Edwards, but would later change her name and grow up to sell over 100 million records ... making her one of the best-selling artists of all time.

Now dubbed the "Queen of Country Pop," her debut album in 1993 failed to make a big splash. Her second studio album, though, was much more successful ... it included a Top 40 single that was #1 on the country charts, won her a Grammy and was named Album of the Year by the Academy of Country Music.

From there, she skyrocketed to superstardom with her 1997 album that produced a string of hits, earned her 4 Grammy Awards and to this day holds the 12th all-time best-selling album in the U.S. ... right ahead of Guns N' Roses' "Appetite for Destruction."

She put out one more album in 2002 before taking a hiatus in 2004 for health reasons, including vocal rehabilitation. She made a triumphant return with a new single in 2011, followed it up with a Vegas residency and released her first studio album in 15 years in 2017.

Oh, and she also appeared on an episode of "Broad City" that year.

She was born in Los Angeles but grew up in Orlando. She'd later attend Dr. Phillips High School before graduating from SUNY Purchase with her bachelor's degree. She later got a master's degree in African-American studies with a concentration in hip-hop from Columbia University.

She started her acting career in Nickelodeon's "My Brother And Me" in 1994 before landing various roles. She appeared in a couple of "Black-ish" episodes before really making her mark on the HBO hit series, "Insecure." She also owns her own production company, DivaWorks, and used to go by the stage name Amanda Diva.

Before this nosy kid hit it big-time in arguably one of the best sitcoms in TV history, he considered himself just a regular dude from Kansas who grew up with pigs and cows. He went to Kansas State University and there was a time where he thought he'd become a prison administrator after studying criminal justice.

He'd eventually detour into comedy ... studying at Chicago's famed Second City where Tina Fey was one of his teachers. He's got tons (and we mean TONS) of credits to his name but the most modern credit is what will forever etch his name in comedy lore.

T.I. should have been immediately called out when he opened up about annually taking his daughter to a gynecology appointment to ensure she's a virgin ... so say the podcast hosts, who are now apologizing.

Nazanin Mandi and Nadia Moham have gotten a lot of backlash after their interview with the rapper on their "Ladies Like Us" podcast, and they now admit they had a "knee jerk reaction" when they simply burst out in laughter.

It does seem like awkward laughter ... but, still, they feel they reacted TERRIBLY to T.I. saying he sits in on his daughter Deyjah Harris' gyno visits to confirm her hymen is intact.

They're directly addressing the criticism they didn't stand up to T.I. for his remarks ... which an overwhelming majority of listeners felt was an invasion of his daughter's privacy.

Nazanin and Nadia say they "were completely caught off guard/shocked and looking back, we should have reacted much differently in the moment." The hosts went on to say, "We are not perfect, take full accountability for our lack of action."

Before this mean-mugging celebrity spawn was a triple threat in Hollywood she was just another goofy little girl making wacky looks for the camera in Miami, Florida.

You may have heard this cute kid's awesome vocal talents on songs like "Wait A Minute!" "Female Energy, Part 2" and "Whip My Hair," as well as a voice actor in the 2008 animated movie, "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa" and the 2009 holiday hit cartoon, "Merry Madagascar."

The funny faced kid -- who was born in 2000 -- celebrated her 19th birthday late last week on Halloween.

This little backward-hat-wearing girl earned stardom almost immediately. She appeared in over 100 TV commercials and, at just 12 years old, sang at the White House. She burst to stardom starring in the Disney Channel's "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody" and as Sharpay Evans in "High School Musical."

Her acting gig's just part of her massive success. Thanks to her singing chops ... she went on to land a record deal with Warner Bros. and released her debut album, "Headstrong," in 2007. That album earned her a Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America.

Before this child cheesin' for the camera would grow up to join the Arrowverse, he was just a theater kid from Norfolk, Virginia.

While in college, he nabbed the role of Baby John in the Broadway Revival Tour of "West Side Story" ... and finished up just in time to start filming for his first big Hollywood gig on FOX's popular musical dramedy about high school kids.

The glee continued for him from there, when he landed a leading role on a Lifetime movie and a guest role on "90210."

In 2013, this young man took his talents to The CW's superhero world where he's been ever since ... and still stars in his very own show.

Lori Harvey -- Steve Harvey's daughter -- allegedly smashed into another car and attempted to flee the scene, but cops nabbed her.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Lori was cited Sunday night for misdemeanor hit and run and delaying a police investigation in Bev Hills. Our sources say witnesses told responding officers they saw Lori texting and driving when she slammed into a Prius and tipped over her Mercedes G-Wagon on its side. Doesn't sound like anyone was injured.

We're told cops quickly showed up on the scene, and found Lori a short distance away ... walking down the street. Our sources say she even FaceTimed her dad, Steve, at one point while dealing with officers.

We're told Lori was not taken into custody -- she got a ticket for the offenses and was free to go. Cops say alcohol was not a factor.

Hours earlier, Lori posted videos at Nobu in Malibu. All of this, of course, follows rumors that she and Diddy recently split, after folks noticed she stopped following him on IG.

Before this brown-eyed girl started starring in movies and topping the charts, she was born and raised to humble beginnings in Texas. She got her first taste of entertainment with a role on "Barney & Friends" before catching her big break when she earned a recurring role on "Hannah Montana."

She moved to Los Angeles after she was cast for the lead role in "Wizards of Waverly Place," and her career kept taking off.

She scored her first record deal when she was just 16, and she's been hinting at a new album. She also famously dated Justin Bieber for years.

Before this brown-eyed boy would go on to star on a TV show all about a girl, he lived in a northern suburb of Chicago and grew up a fan of the Second City comedy troupe.

After attending NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, he started his own sketch comedy troupe in NYC before heading to Los Angeles to seek a career in show business.

In 2007, he landed bit roles in a few TV series -- including Man on Cell Phone in an episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" -- before scoring a supporting role in a 2009 mockumentary starring Charlyne Yi and Michael Cera.

Two years later, he'd nab his most popular acting role on a FOX show ... which aired its series finale in May 2018.

His credits also include blockbusters like "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" and "Jurassic World" ... and he's believed to be the inspiration for the show "Drunk History."

Before she was empowering women with entire seasons, this cute kiddo was learning the ways of hip-hop in Houston, TX with the help of her own rapping mother, Holly-Wood.

Before long, she was writing her own raps -- many of which were deemed too aggressive, suggestive and sexual to tons of critics. The femcee kept at it though, partaking in freestyle cyphers and battle raps, until eventually ... broke through the mainstream in 2019.

Her hit single, "Hot Girl Summer," featured the likes of Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign -- and it became the anthem for folks who were feeling themselves ... and weren't scared to show it.

Now, this lucky lady's one of the biggest names in the rap game today ... and there's no signs of her slowing down.

Before this little blondie in a hoodie would grow up to become one of Hollywood's most recognizable redheads ... she was just a theater kid growing up in Oregon and Idaho.

After high school, she headed to New York City to pursue a modeling career. Though she traveled internationally for work for over a decade, her most interesting gig may have been appearing as the hand model in the poster for the 1999 film, "American Beauty."

The same year, she made her TV debut on the MTV anthology series, "Undressed." She'd go on to land a starring role on the Showtime series, "Beggars and Choosers," as well as guest roles on shows like "Angel," "ER" and "Firefly."

In 2007, this mystery gal began playing the character she's best known for on a critically-acclaimed AMC show ... which earned her 6 Emmy noms.

Now ... she's one of the "Good Girls."

This dapper little dude's career in show business began when he was discovered in a barbershop with his mom ... at the age of 6!!!

Within a year, he was acting and singing on Broadway -- landing roles such as Tiny Tim, Chip Potts and Gavroche -- before busting out in a big way with an original Christmas song in 2002.

The single led to him signing with Columbia Records, which also brought in his 2 older siblings ... to form a family group that's still going strong.

The group put out their debut album in 2006, but it wasn't a huge success until much later ... after their popularity skyrocketed on the Disney Channel.

Earlier this year, the group reunited after a 6-year hiatus ... just months after this handsome fella tied the knot with one of India's highest-paid and most popular celebrities.

Ariel Winter's 10-year-old niece can't stop, won't stop ... following in her aunt's footsteps, 'cause TMZ's learned she's landed another Hollywood gig that pays her BIG time.

Skylar Gray landed the role of Lila in CBS's new show, "Evil" ... but her contract is anything but that. According to her minor's contract. obtained by TMZ, Skylar had her network test back in March ... which she clearly nailed, because she's getting $17,500 per episode!!!

Remember, she's only TEN years old. Screw lemonade stands, right?
