celebrity kids

Aniah Blanchard's mom was surrounded by friends and family at a vigil in Alabama on Tuesday where she shared memories of the 19-year-old and told the crowd, "She was my heart."

Officials believe Blanchard -- stepdaughter of UFC fighter Walt Harris -- was abducted at a Chevron station in Auburn on Oct. 23rd.

Investigators found remains earlier this week that are believed to be Aniah's -- and while officials are still working to confirm, her mother Angela Harris is already starting to mourn.

"Just her laughter and her smile, that’s what I'm going to miss the most," Harris told ABC33 ... "Just her happiness because she made life better for all of us."

"She's never gonna have my grandbabies that I wanted her to have or see her get married."

Aniah's closest friends hugged Angela at the vigil as she told the girls, "She loved y'all so much."

So far, three men have been arrested in connection with Blanchard's abduction -- but Harris says she feels a strong sense of guilt about the whole thing.

“Maybe not even anything I could have done, but I should have prepared her just a little bit better for things she might have come into contact with."

Officials believe Blanchard was forced into a vehicle by Ibraheem Yazeed -- who was seen at the gas station the night of the abduction. Cops tracked him down and arrested him in Florida.

Harris says she hopes other families will learn from this situation to help better protect their children.

"It can happen to you, it can happen to your family. So from tonight on, go home make a plan, get some things together, talk to your kids so we can prevent this and start fighting back for this evil that’s in this world."

Millie Bobby Brown's bank account is about to get even bigger ... because the 15-year-old actress is raking in more than $6 MILLION for her next big-screen role.

If ya didn't hear, Millie landed the titular role of Enola Holmes in the upcoming movie franchise about Sherlock Holmes' much younger sister -- who becomes a private detective herself.

According to her minor's contract -- obtained by TMZ -- the teenager gets $6.1 mil to star in the film but could fetch up to an $800k bonus if it performs well at the box office.

Oh, she also gets a producer credit, which comes with an additional base pay of $500k -- and her contract allows for her to travel via private jet. A-list move for MBB!!!

It gets better too ... if there's a sequel, Millie will bank another $7.5 million, at the very minimum. Now that's how you take a ten and turn it up to Eleven.

As we've reported ... huge salaries are becoming par for the course for the "Stranger Things" kids, but Brown's taking a huge step ahead of the rest with this fat payday.

"Enola Holmes" is set to release some time in 2020, and will costar Henry Cavill as Sherlock and Helena Bonham Carter as Mrs. Holmes.

Sorry, Wayne Gretzky ... seems the grandkid's got the golf genes and not the hockey ones -- 'CAUSE LOOK AT THE SWING ON DUSTIN JOHNSON AND PAULINA'S SON!!!

DJ and Paulina had an impromptu range sesh with their 2-year-old outside their home Tuesday ... and thank God someone brought the camera -- 'cause the Great One's grandson can seriously hack it.

Watch the clip ... River Johnson has the classic DJ backswing and he keeps his head down throughout the whole stroke. Plus, he even takes a little bit of a divot!!!

The swing clearly impressed Mom ... 'cause Paulina said of the vid, "Watch out pga tour 2035."

Even Grandma loved seeing it, with Janet Gretzky saying, "Takes after his Grandma Honey!!! Go get it River !!"

Of course, the athletic feat shouldn't surprise a soul ... Dustin's one of the greatest golfers of all-time and Paulina is the daughter of the best hockey player ever.

But, don't worry too much about the Gretzkys not carrying on the hockey tradition ... River's pretty good with a stick too -- remember when he put pucks past grandpa earlier this year?!?!

Before this kitchen sink kid was cleaning up the modeling world with her world-renowned beauty and gorgeous genetics she was just another adorable little girl getting a taste of the good life in Los Angeles, CA.

This scrubbing celebrity spawn is the creation by one of the most beautiful women of all time and her agave loving hubby, but she's not alone ... she also has a brother who's taken on the same good looking profession.

Now the model citizen can be seen on the runways for some of the biggest names in fashion including Chanel, Alexander McQueen, Givenchy, Versace Prada and many more.

Before this mother of two was a super-cool Hollywood actress she was just an uber-cute kid with a banging, blonde, bowl cut getting messy during mealtime in Michigan.

This grinning little girl went on to do a slew of musicals and theater work before breaking into the big-screen biz with credits like the 2008 film, "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," the 2010 rock flick, "Get Him to the Greek" and the 2011 scary movie, "Scream 4."

But, she's probably best known for her voiceover work as the chill sister in a Disney film.

Chris Brown's second child has been born ... and he subtly shared the good news on Instagram.

Sources close to the singer tell TMZ ... his ex, Ammika Harris, gave birth to their son. As we first reported in August ... it's their first child together.

Both Chris and Ammika shared cryptic messages on social media Thursday, seemingly announcing the birth of their baby boy. In fact, we know she did just that.

Chris posted a pic of himself smiling and looking down at something off camera with the caption of the date ... 11-20-19. Right after that, he shared a pic of himself wearing a hoodie with the word "BORN" embroidered on it.

Harris also alluded to the child's birth on her Instagram Story, writing ... "I was in love, when I first saw you."

The boy is Ammika's first child. CB has a 5-year-old daughter named Royalty with Nia Guzman.

This karate kid truly is a triple threat -- he's an actor, singer and musician. He most notably landed a role on the Netflix drama series, "13 Reasons Why." He was born in Evansville, Indiana but mostly grew up in Champaign, Illinois and Los Angeles, where he pursued a career in acting.

He's barely old enough to drink but already he's got a good list of credits to his name ... including "Lost," "Awake," "Scandal" and "Grey's Anatomy." He also appeared as a super young Charlie Sheen in "Two and a Half Men" and in the popular Nickelodeon show, "Drake & Josh."

Before she was rocking stages across the world, this tiny tot was rocking a tiara and a princess outfit in a flash pose that would eventually go on to mean something big for her in the music game.

Raised in England, this singer officially got her start in the biz back in 2010 -- after which she did collabs with Alex Metric, Odd Future, Blood Orange as well as different producers before releasing her a slew of singles and, eventually, her second mixtape, "Super Ultra."

She went on to release her debut album in 2013, and then followed with an even better-received sophomore record called "Sucker." At this point, she'd refined her style to electropop and synth-wave type of vibe -- and she's currently one of the most renowned young artists working today.

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.
