celebrity kids

Before making his way onto the big screen and starring in a popular Netflix show, this little chubster grew up in Iowa. He attended Gehlen Catholic High School in Le Mars, Iowa before making his way over to the University of Iowa. He was a frequent contributor to No Shame Theatre where he honed his acting and comedic chops.

He's appeared in a bunch of TV shows ... including "Parks and Recreation." He also appeared on "I Love You Beth Cooper" and Quentin Tarantino's "Inglorious Basterds." He's worked alongside some of the best comedic minds ... including Judd Apatow.

This sweetheart schoolgirl rose to the top of the charts with some club-banging singles and rockin' dance moves, and she had a long romantic relationship with one of hip-hop's biggest names ... Diddy.

Born and raised in Connecticut, she started modeling at age 14 and appeared in fashion catalogs for local department stores. Soon, she took up ballet and vocal lessons, and after high school, she moved to New York in search of her big break. That came when she met record producer Ryan Leslie, and not long after she released her debut album.

In addition to successful careers in music, dance and modeling ... she's also appeared in movies.

This break-dancin' kiddo went on to become one of the most recognizable comedians in the biz, having created and starred in THREE of his own shows ... one of which captures his childhood in New York state. Before that, he was on the stand-up circuit and eventually broke through with roles on "Chappelle's Show" and MTV's "Human Giant," while continuing to embark on comedy tours with the likes of Aziz Ansari and other big shots in the game.

Eventually, he came to be known for characters he created, like Ref Jeff, Bobby Bottleservice, Fabrice Fabrice and, of course, Gil Faizon of "The Oh, Hello Show" -- starring opposite of fellow comic John Mulaney.

9:36 AM PT -- JC tells us, "Anyone who loved my father and respected his work should see Max Anderson as we do. My father was a loving and trusting man. He was all about love. He should never have been in business with a man like Max Anderson."

Kirk E. Schenck, attorney for Stan's Estate, says, "Elder abuse is becoming all too common, especially against high net worth individuals who have been highly functioning professionals during very sophisticated careers. Elder abusers use a systematic application of fear and alienation to mask their lies and financial wrongdoing."

Stan Lee's daughter, who's in charge of his family trust, is going after a business manager she claims almost literally robbed her father blind ... taking advantage of his old age in order to pocket hundreds of thousands of dollars.

In a lawsuit, Joan Celia Lee says Max Anderson managed Stan's memorabilia bookings -- the countless events Stan attended to sign autographs and meets fans -- but she says he was originally a Comic-Con security guard who befriended her father in a "sinister plot" to gain his trust. She compares it to one of Stan's Marvel comic book plots.

According to the suit, Anderson commonly gave Stan contracts and deals to sign ... even though Stan was in his late 80s and unable to read or understand what he was signing. She says her father suffered from severe degeneration of his vision .. and Max knew it.

Most alarming are JC's claims of "violent interactions" between Anderson and her father. In the docs, obtained by TMZ, she says Anderson got physical to pressure Stan into giving him "total control" of business affairs. JC claims others -- drivers, security guards and others -- witnessed these physical threats.

She also claims Anderson was skimming tons of cash from her father while taking him on the road to fan conventions. JC calls out one example from NYC Comic-Con in Nov 2017.

In the suit, she says Anderson collected $800k in revenue for Stan's appearance ... and kept more than $700k for himself -- although he was only contracted to get 10 to 25 percent.

At another event, in Mexico City, JC says Anderson severely overworked her father ... making Stan sign and authenticate hundreds of merchandise items "until the point where Lee was worn out." She claims this marathon signing session left Stan unable to walk or talk ... yet he got none of the revenue.

Stan died in November 2018, and JC claims the abuse continued through March 2018 when Stan discovered what Anderson was up to and fired him. She believes Anderson conspired with one of Stan's nurses and another one of Stan's employees in the memorabilia biz.

She's suing all 3 of them for elder abuse, breach of contract and stealing.

Fergie wants to go back to the way things used to be ... and be called Stacy Ann Ferguson.

According to legal docs obtained by TMZ ... Fergie's asking the judge to restore her former name. She made the request in divorce docs where she also asks that the judge terminate the court's ability to award support for both her and Josh Duhamel.

TMZ broke the story ... she legally switched to her stage name -- Fergie Duhamel -- back in August 2013. At the time she had been married to Josh for nearly 5 years.

As we first reported ... Fergie filed for divorce on Friday. It came as no surprise at the time ... they've been apart publicly since September 2017 when they announced they were breaking up. According to the new docs ... the couple lists the date of separation as April 1, 2017.

Fergie's also asking for joint and legal custody of their 5-year-old son, Axl.

Kylie Jenner had one of those moments all moms fear this weekend, but fortunately her little one is back home and doing fine.

Kylie revealed her Sunday was spent in the hospital with her daughter, Stormi, who she says suffered an allergic reaction. She described the scary incident, saying ... "Nothing else matters when these things happen. God bless all the moms with sick babies. I'm sending so much love and positive energy your way."

The good news is her 16-month-old baby with Travis Scott is "100% okay now" ... and she posted a pic of Stormi recovering and sleeping at home.

Stormi's medical scare clearly moved her mom ... Kylie shared a photo of the sun setting over her backyard with a child's play set and captioned it ... "blessed beyond words. thank you God. i believe in being reflection of what you'd like to receive. If you want love, give love. If you want success, wish success."

This little girl was a cute and stylish little baller before a superhero role changed her life. The superhero itself made history as the first series about an out gay superhero character with an out character donning the famous costume. Before nailing this role ... this youngster was an Australian model who cut her teeth on MTV Australia. She later landed on "Australia's Next Top Model" but really made her mark in the acting world on Netflix's hit series "Orange is the New Black."

She's also got some strong pipes ... releasing her first single in 2012.

12:30 PM PT -- There was another person tied to the college scandal that was all smiles this weekend -- one Olivia Jade. She wasn't graduating or anything but was certainly in a celebratory mood.

Lori Loughlin's youngest daughter was seen Saturday with a giant grin on her face as she left a nail salon in Beverly Hills. She wasn't all that dressed up for the occasion -- wearing an over-sized leather jacket, ripped jeans and green flip flops that looked two sizes too big.

Either way, it's clear she's still not sweating her parents' legal case -- which, as far as we know, they're ramping up to fight in court after pleading not guilty to a slew of charges.

Despite the fact Olivia might eventually be called to the stand to testify, you'd never be able to tell there was trouble on the home front by the way she's carrying herself here ... or here, or even here.

Fake it 'til you make it, we suppose.

Felicity Huffman's doing something we have seen since her indictment in the college admissions scandal, and that's ... smiling.

You could say she stopped to smell the roses -- although they look more like lilies -- Saturday in West Hollywood. Felicity's bouquet purchase comes just as her daughter, Sophia Grace, graduates high school. We don't know if the flowers were for Sophia, but Felicity looked pleased with her selection.

Federal prosecutors say Felicity paid Rick Singer $15k to rig Sophia's SAT scores ... by giving her extra time on the test and then correcting some of her answers. We've seen a very somber Felicity at her court appearances in Boston ... including the one where she agreed to plead guilty.

Felicity and William H. Macy have said Sophia knew nothing about the scheme. Felicity's scheduled to be sentenced in September ... and could get anywhere from zero prison time up to 4 years.

For now, she and Macy seem to be focusing on the positive -- Sophia's high school graduation.

College is a whole other Oprah.

Don't plan the parades at Sierra Canyon High just yet ... 'cause the next generation of the James/Wade duo teaming up does NOT mean it'll have the same results as their dads -- so says Kenny Smith.

The basketball world pretty much lost their minds when the news broke that freshman Bronny James and senior Zaire Wade will be teammates next season -- bringing back memories of the Peanut Butter and Jelly combo, LeBron and D-Wade, had in Miami.

The Jet -- who has an AAU team and knows his stuff about youth hoops -- says Bronny and Zaire will be able to contend off the rip ... but California basketball is filled with massive, skilled kids ... so it'll be tough.

"There's multiple things that you need," Kenny says ... "Especially Bronny being so young, only being a freshman. The age difference is tough."

Of course, their daddies won 2 titles with the Heat ... and created tons of highlights together. Smith sees that in their future as well.

Before this comedian had the country in stitches on her late-night talk show on E! ... this little car-loving blondie got her start performing stand-up in Los Angeles. She ultimately found a home on TV, and was recently named as one of Time's 100 most influential people in the world, thanks to a unique sense of humor.

Comedy isn't the only place where she excels. She's also written 5 books that landed on the New York Times Best Seller List, 4 of which reached the top spot. She's also created a widely-popular 4-part Netflix docuseries.

Before this model made her debut on a catwalk show for Burberry ... this little goggle-wearing blondy got her start as a little girl modeling in Cadbury chocolate ads. She was ultimately dubbed the next Kate Moss ... landing on the cover of Vogue a whopping 14 times.

Her eyebrows are also iconic. British news outlets reportedly claimed she is single-handedly responsible for a slowdown in the tweezer industry. No joke!! She also walked in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show but announced in 2015 she would quit the runway to focus on films. She ultimately starred alongside Ben Affleck and Margot Robbie in "Suicide Squad."

Nipsey Hussle's family is laying out their reasons that his 10-year-old daughter should remain in their custody ... saying her biological mother needs to get her life in order.

Sources close to the slain Crenshaw rapper tell TMZ ... Nipsey's family wants custody of Emani Asghedom, primarily because Tanisha Foster has a rap sheet that on its face makes her unfit to care for her child until she turns things around.

As we've reported ... Tanisha Foster had a warrant out for her arrest relating to a DUI, she's violated probation multiple times in the past year, and she has other arrests dating back to 2006.

Emani's been living with Nipsey's sister, Samantha, a well-established businesswoman, since his death ... and his family is currently locked in a bitter custody battle with Tanisha.

We're told Nipsey's family isn't trying to drive a wedge between Emani and her mother ... and they have even offered to help Tanisha enroll in substance abuse programs -- so far, to no avail. The family is trying to arrange for visitation between Emani and Tanisha.

So far, the judge has been siding with Nipsey's family ... and Tanisha broke down last week in court when she spotted Emani, saying she hadn't seen her in months. The next court date isn't until July.

It's good to be one of Travis Barker's kids ... he pulled out all the stops for his daughter's birthday party, throwing an EPIC rager for hundreds of her friends with special appearances by tons of celebs!!!

Alabama Luella Barker, daughter of the Blink-182 drummer and former Miss USA Shanna Moakler, turns 14 Christmas Eve ... but she usually opts for an early birthday party in May, and Daddy always comes through with a blowout bash at his Calabasas estate!!!

This year, Travis opened up his doors to 350 of Alabama's closest pals, including Machine Gun Kelly, Goody Grace, Shaquille O'neal's kids, The Game's son and Floyd Mayweather's son ... and they were treated to live performances from Trippie Redd and Comethazine!

Travis ain't cutting any corners for his pride and joy ... we're told he dropped well over six figures to ensure everything was up to snuff ... even hiring the same stage and lighting companies that Blink-182 tours with, making sure the backyard concert totally ROCKED!!!

Travis loves doing the most for his kids ... when his son, Landon, turned 14, Travis organized a massive party and got Lil Pump to rock the house.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's latest edition to their fam -- Psalm West -- came into the world just like his older siblings ... according to his birth certificate.

TMZ just got a copy of the doc, and it reveals Dr. Paul Crane did the honors when Kim and Kanye's surrogate gave birth. Psalm arrived at 7:02 PM on May 9 at Cedars-Sinai in L.A.

Dr. Paul Crane also delivered Psalm's big sisters, North and Chicago, and big bro Saint -- as well as just about every other Kardashian-Jenner kid.

As we first told you ... the birth was via surrogate, though Kim and Kanye hired a new woman to carry their fourth kid to term. It's not because they were dissatisfied with the surrogate who carried Chicago ... she just happened to be otherwise engaged this time around.

Psalm is a fitting name ... Kanye's Sunday Service is gaining major traction, and his Coachella performance was one for the books. Psalms are a key part of church services.

Kim says Psalm already looks like Chicago ... although that may be jumping the gun a bit, because you never know until you know.

This cute little chubster was born in Champaign, Illinois but is known as one of Atlanta's favorite sons. He started rapping when he was just 9 years old. His famous cousins include Monica and Katt Williams. He was an intern at Hot 97.5 before rising as one of Atlanta's hottest rappers who went on to become the founder of his own record label.

He's got 3 Grammys under his belt, but he's also earned awards for his acting skills in hugely successful action films. He's been a host of a reality show and starred in several prominent commercials, including and most recently for Mercedes-Benz.

Kim Kardashian and North West are getting their party on before Memorial Day Weekend ... hitting up Disneyland for a best friend's birthday bash!!!

Kim and her oldest daughter spent their Wednesday at the Happiest Place on Earth ... cutting loose on some rides, hanging out with Mickey Mouse and grubbing down on some Mexican food.

KK's pushing a stroller ... but newborn baby boy Psalm West isn't the one getting an assist from mama. Guess the latest addition to Kim and Kanye West's growing brood isn't quite ready for his first trip to the Magic Kingdom.
