celebrity kids

Joseline Hernandez and Stevie J are playing a shell game with their child, hiding their daughter from the court ... this according to the guardian appointed to protect the kid.

Joseline and Stevie are knee-deep in a nasty custody war, and the judge appointed a guardian to protect their 10-month-old daughter, Bonnie Bella.

The guardian just filed legal docs, obtained by TMZ, claiming she has repeatedly asked Joseline and Stevie to tell her where the kid was, but she's been stonewalled.

The guardian says on Sept. 24 she demanded that the parents produce Bonnie Bella at a specific location, but they were all no-shows.

And the guardian says, on the same day, Joseline was supposed to appear in traffic court but blew that off as well. The guardian says she's worried about the child.

One other wrinkle ... the guardian says the kid may be with Joseline in Miami, which would be a violation of the court order not to take the child outside Fulton County.

Tyrese is now under the microscope of the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services over claims by his ex-wife and baby mama that he spanked his 10-year-old daughter so hard she couldn't sit.

Tyrese and Norma Gibson are in a court battle ... Norma's trying to get a permanent restraining order prohibiting him from physically disciplining their kid. She also wants full physical and legal custody. She's worried Tyrese will take their daughter to Dubai, where he has business ties, and not come back. She also wants Tyrese to take domestic violence courses.

She claims Tyrese "beat" the girl between 12 and 16 times. Tyrese says he only struck her once on her bottom. Tuesday in court, Norma's attorney said DCFS is now investigating Tyrese.

It's not uncommon for DCFS to launch an investigation as a precautionary measure.

For his part, Tyrese says Norma is bitter that he married someone else and is trumping up false allegations out of revenge.

Tyrese's lawyer, Terry Levich Ross, tells TMZ bluntly, "She's a lying piece of s***. Tyrese is devastated. He's a good guy and I will prove that."

Nia Guzman, Chris Brown's baby mama, says one of her ex-friends is making death threats against her and Royalty ... so she's run to court for protection.

Nia filed a police report, and also requested a restraining order, against a woman named Shakur Sozahdah. In docs, Nia says Shakur is making criminal threats.

Sources connected to Nia tell us she believes Shakur wants to kill her and kidnap 3-year-old Royalty.

Also, Shakur recorded, and posted, a diss rap that squarely threatens Nia with lines like ... "I really hate this bitch / I won't take my foot off your neck / You lucky I love your little daughter like I do, do 'cause we woulda already run the f**k up on you, you"

In the social media post, she also accuses Nia of doing blow and having a "disease infested mouth."

Nia's request for a restraining order was filed Monday and granted. Shakur must stay 100 yards away from Nia and Royalty.

Kim, Khloe and Kylie will make you a small fortune if they all pop out a bunch of baby boys ... but the odds are STACKED.

The gambling site BetOnline.ag -- one of the biggest gambling sites -- will pay out $3,300 for your $100 bet if they all give birth to boys. But as TMZ's reported ... Kim's surrogate is having a girl and Kylie's telling friends she's having a girl. So ... good luck with that.

But there are some safer bets:

+300 if they all have girls

+1400 if Kim's baby begins with K

+450 if Tyga tweets congrats to Kylie

Rob Kardashian is broke and the money he's paying Blac Chyna for child support is being fronted largely by the Kardashian family, but Chyna's gravy train may be leaving the station ... TMZ has learned.

TMZ broke the story, Rob has agreed to pay Chyna $20k a month in support, although some of the money is going directly to nannies. We're told Rob's primary motivation -- he loves baby Dream and wanted to make sure he'd get 50/50 custody.

Chyna was holding a domestic violence restraining order over his head -- which could ruin his chances of getting 50/50 custody -- and part of the deal was that she'd drop it in return for getting the cash. The Kardashians felt all along Chyna's motivation was money.

So the question ... how's Rob paying $20k a month? We're told his family is totally invested in Dream, and they want to make sure they have a strong relationship with her. They also worry about Chyna and her ability to care for the child, and that's another motivation to front Rob the money.

Rob is making no money now ... his days on the reality show are over, and his sock business is hardly turning a profit.

Here's the wild card -- Rob can always go back to court and ask for a modification of child support based on his income or lack thereof, so Chyna's days getting $20k a month may already be numbered.

The role of Scott Disick will now be played by Kourtney Kardashian ... who, for once, is the one jet-setting in Europe while Scott stays home with the kiddos.

Scott was on dad duty Wednesday in Calabasas, taking all 3 of his little ones out for seafood and froyo. Meanwhile, Kourtney was in Paris taking in a soccer game with BF Younes Bendjima -- right behind Robin Wright, btw.

The exes are co-parenting like a charm -- last weekend Scott was in Miami smooching his new GF, Sofia Richie, and Kourt had the kids.

Kylie Jenner is having a baby before she's legally allowed to drink, but her family is fully on board ... TMZ has learned.

Our Kardashian sources tell us, the family doesn't view Kylie as a 20-year-old. They think her age is both deceptive and irrelevant, because she's developed a maturity way beyond her years.

Right or wrong, the family feels her success in business and financial independence gives her license to do what she's wanted for 2 years ... to have a baby. The fam was shocked at first, but is accepting.

So the question ... why didn't she have a kid with Tyga? We're told their relationship was never solid enough for a baby ... at least that's the way she felt.

That said, she was eager to become a de facto stepmom to Tyga's son, King Cairo. And she's an involved aunt to 6 kids.

As for having a baby with Travis ... she got pregnant within 2 months of starting to date him. What we don't know ... whether this was a planned pregnancy or not. Either way, we're told Kylie immediately embraced it. We don't know if Travis felt the same way.

As for Kylie's family, Rob Kardashian is living proof age doesn't always matter.

BTW ... Kylie has said in the past, waiting to have a baby till you're 30 is way too late.

TMZ broke the story ... Kylie and Travis are having a girl.

Jeff Dunham's got high hopes for the kid ventriloquist who won season 12 of "America's Got Talent" ... because he knows her folks want what's best for her.

The famed ventriloquist and comedian tells TMZ ... 12-year-old Darci Lynne Farmer's fantastic with her puppets, but also has fantastic parents. Jeff thinks that's vital for a child star in showbiz, and with their guidance ... Darci could be the next Shari Lewis.

As for teaming up with Darci for a ventriloquism duet ... he's down with it, but says he'll have to clean up his act a little.

Dunham also took a moment to adjust his screen for some not-so-subtle reason ... check it out.

"Fuller House" star Elias Harger might only be 9 but little dude's already inking his contracts with his 4th grade cursive and John Hancock.

Elias plays DJ's -- aka Candace Cameron -- son on the rebooted series. He earned $10k an episode for the first season, a little more than his on-screen younger brothers. Not bad for a 9-year-old.

Elias was in all 26 episodes from the first two seasons and got a $400 raise per episode for season 2 ... so, yeah, the kid's got college tuition covered.

As for season three, Elias is going to be making $10,816 an episode! No wonder the kiddo's got his signature down pat.

Teen actor Filip Geljo will make some serious green for playing one of the blue people in "Avatar 2" ... TMZ has learned.

The 15-year-old's set to appear in the next 2 sequels from director James Cameron, and will rake in at least $150,000 for his role, according to his contract. He'll also bank an additional $5k per day for any voice-over work he does ... if there's an 'Avatar' video game.

Talk about an out-of-this-world career move for a kid coming from a show on PBS.

North West is her father Kanye's daughter when it comes to dealing with photogs, but she's also a mini Kim because she can sure steal the spotlight.

Kim, North and one of North's little pals were leaving an ice rink Thursday in the San Fernando Valley and were swarmed by paps. North chirps with her usual "no pictures, please" until mom steps in and reminds the kid what her dad told her to say ... "No questions!!!"
