celebrity kids

Before this striped sweetheart was cracking jokes on television and showing off her ice-cold talent in film, she was just another blonde beauty messing around with makeup in Huntington Woods, Michigan.

This lipstick lady is best known for her sarcastic characters on television -- she's starred in two different series that premiered 12 years apart. Not shying away from film either, this all-star actress will not be forgotten.

Also, she's one half of a dynamic duo ... she's married to a famous funny guy who you can see on their new reality game show.

Britney Spears paid tribute to her teenage sons who she says are growing up way too fast for her.

The singer got emotional expressing a mother's love after Sean and Jayden celebrated their birthdays last week. Jayden turned 15 on September 12 and Sean turned 16 two days later ... Brit shares custody of her kids with her ex-husband, Kevin Federline.

Britney said, "My boys' birthdays were last week ... and unfortunately they are growing up and want to do their own things ... I have to ask their permission to post them because they are extremely independent little men."

She said it's astonishing to her how fast they're growing up ... literally and figuratively. She said it makes her crazy "because they are so tall and geez they are still growing." What's more ... Brit said the boys went to a dance last week ... and it made her emotional.

Britney said, "They went to a dance last week and I cried for two days. My babies in a suit!!! It's crazy!!! And girls get ready cause my boys are so handsome!!!"

The tribute, of course, comes one day after the singer deleted her Instagram. Remember, she took it down for all of 7 days but returned to update her fans about her weekend getaway to Palm Springs to celebrate Sam Asghari popping the question.

Before this sweetie in stripes was the star of one of streamings' most popular television series, she was just another girl giggling for the camera in Le Mans, France.

This fun-loving lady recently launched her acting career into the spotlight when she scored the leading role in a UK comedy show that explores all the awkward and embarrassing woes of high school relationships -- which has already gained her a nomination for a BAFTA Award for Best Female Comedy Performance. The popular television streaming series just premiered its third season on Netflix last week.

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott were back in his hometown this weekend for family fun ... showing their daughter some lions and tigers and ... elephants.

The couple took their 3-year-old girl Stormi to the Houston Zoo Sunday for several hours. We're told they hit up all the big attractions, checked out the giraffes and seals ... and visited the elephant exhibit as well.

Of course, the family was flanked by private security guards with golf carts all day ... including when Stormi took a ride on the carousel.

As we've reported, these outings are nothing new for Kylie and Travis, who love taking Stormi to amusement parks and pumpkin patches and all that good stuff. They've always kept that up, even when they had split as a couple.

Before this mini makeup mogul was selling out large venues for her popular tours, she was just another lipstick lady getting prepped for the camera in London, England.

This picture-perfect pipsqueak has only been in the music scene for a short time, but she has made quite the impact! She's already topped the music charts, won numerous Grammy Awards -- including Best New Artist back in 2019 and Album of the Year just this year -- and performed with some of the most popular names in music.

She's got new rules for the music industry!

Before this perfect angel was a household name for her funny friendships on television, she was just another brunette beauty growing up in Birmingham, Alabama.

This little lady's career launched into stardom when she was cast in one of the most popular sitcoms of all time ... along with an ensemble of hilarious celebrities. This long-reining comedy series ran for 10 years, but it wasn't this famous face's only claim to fame. Around the same time, she balanced between television and film when she became the starring scream queen in a popular horror flick franchise.

Nicki Minaj is fiercely defending herself after letting it be known she won't be getting the COVID-19 vaccine until she's done enough research.

Nicki responded to tweets practically all of Monday night after she'd posted an explanation for her absence from the Met Gala, which required all guests to be vaccinated. She declared, if she gets vaccinated "it won't [be] for the Met. It'll be once I feel I've done enough research. I'm working on that now."

Then, about 20 minutes later, she dropped the tweet that still has social media fired up today. Nicki said her cousin in Trinidad won't get the vaccine cuz "his friend got it & became impotent. His testicles became swollen." She added that "his friend was weeks away from getting married, now the girl called off the wedding. So just pray on it & make sure you’re comfortable with ur decision, not bullied."

Nicki isn't pleased that anecdote is the one grabbing headlines. She's pointing out her critics are purposely ignoring her prior tweets encouraging people to get vaccinated, wear masks and be safe.

She also shared a screenshot of news headlines and called them all lies. Nicki wrote, "3 lies in a row from huge news platforms. I cited my young child as why I didn’t want to travel. But notice how NONE of them mentioned that? Ask yourself why that was."

Nicki also shared that she came down with COVID while preparing for this year's VMAs ... and she feared passing it to her son, who was born last September.

She tweeted, "Do u know what it is not to be able to kiss or hold your tiny baby for over a week? A baby who is only used to his mama?"

Apparently, Nicki's now satisfied with her research -- she relented she will eventually get the vaccine, because she'll have to travel and go on tour.

Before this spoonful of silly was mixing up drinks on a popular reality television show, he was just another goofy guy growing up in Monterey, California.

This funny fella gained an instant following after he stepped out of the limo and into the spotlight looking for love. Even though his journey on this reality show ended earlier than expected, he still got another shot in a spin-off located in a place of paradise.

Now, since this celebrity personality got engaged to a rose-worthy actress, he has been the voice of reason behind the bar on the romantic island.

Toccara Jones has seen enough ... she's all but crowned Natalia Bryant as America's next top model.

We got the ex-"America's Next Top Model" star outside Essence Fashion House in Chelsea during New York Fashion Week and wanted her take on Kobe's daughter gracing the cover and pages of Teen Vogue.

Toccara couldn't stop raving about Natalia's performance. Goes without saying ... Toccara doesn't just think ... she knows the 18-year-old model's gonna KILL it in the industry. Natalia, of course, signed with IMG, a major modeling and talent agency, back in February.

When our camera guy asked for her 2 cents ... Toccara shot right back, "Did you see her [Teen Vogue] spread? Did you see the poses? Did you see her styling?" As if saying ... OF COURSE she's got it. And, from one model to another, Toccara tells us exactly why she thinks Natalia's got what it takes.

Toccara says Natalia's success won't be tied to the fact she's Kobe and Vanessa Bryant's daughter. Far from it. Toccara says ... just look at Natalia's amazing features.

Kim Kardashian's son, Saint, broke his arm ... and it's devastated her.

Kim's 5-year-old son took a trip to the ER after fracturing his arm in multiple places. Kim didn't reveal how it happened, but she made it clear ... it broke her heart and she's been crying her eyes out.

She shared a couple photos ... you see Saint sitting in a wheelchair with an ice pack on his right wrist/arm, captioning it, "Who do you think cried more today? My baby broke his arm in a few places today. I’m not ok." #MomsWillBeMoms.

Kim posted another pic showing Saint's injured arm wrapped in a navy-blue cast.

It looks like Saint got hurt Thursday, because earlier in the day she shared a photo of Saint with one of his friends who was celebrating his birthday.

It was a night out on the town for most of the Kardashians ... from coast to coast. But, Kim clearly had other priorities and never surfaced Thursday night.

Before this poolside pipsqueak was a talented singer and actress, she was just another flower child cooling off in the water in Houston, Texas.

This pretty in pink princess has scored success in the music and television industry. She got her start when she was featured on Disney Channel starring opposite the troublesome twins, Dylan and Cole Sprouse, in the comedy series "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody."

Now, since rising to fame with a teen drama show titled "The Fosters" on Freeform, she has continued on with a spin-off based on her character.

Natalia Bryant's modeling career has officially begun -- in a big way -- 'cause Kobe's daughter got the cover of Teen Vogue!!

The 18-year-old shared the cover of the TV September issue Wednesday on Insta ... along with a video showin' what went down at the cover shoot!

She also spoke with the magazine about being KB's daughter ... and how her family has handled life since the tragic death of her dad and sister, Gianna.

"September cover! So beyond grateful!" Natalia said, "Thank you SO much Teen Vogue!"

It's Natalia's first major cover ... and she is STUNNING!

Her mom, Vanessa, was very proud ... commenting on Natalia's post, "I love you!!!! You are so beautiful. Congratulations Mamacita!!!!!!"

But, the love isn't just coming from inside the fam ... everyone from Ciara to NBA star Pau Gasol (who they call Uncle Pau) is saying, "You’re amazing, Natalia Bryant!! So proud of you, always! #Family"

Remember, Natalia signed with the major modelling and talent agency, IMG back in February .. saying, "I have a love for the industry and ever since I can remember I wanted to model."

So, Teen Vogue ... safe to say a dope start to her modelling career!

Natalia also started just her freshman year at USC.

Before this splashing kid was an awarded filmmaker, singer and actress, she was just another little girl making a splash in Jamshedpur, India.

This laughing lady was the winner of Miss World 2000 -- which helped her later down the line to join the Indian film industry. Her beauty and talent have landed her multiple roles over the years ... not only did she star in a new film this year, but she also helped produce it!

Recently, this multi-talented celeb married a musician that will make you feel like you're burning up from all the love they have for each other.

Nevada native Meaghan Martin was only 15 years old when she was cast as the popular girl with some serious attitude, Tess Tyler, who bullies the new girl and creates havoc around the song-filled summer camp -- in the 2008 Disney Channel movie "Camp Rock" and the 2010 follow-up film "Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam."

Meaghan Martin shared the rockin' movie with some up-and-coming celebs including Joe Jonas as the vocal dreamboat, Shane Gray, Alyson Stoner as the summer friend, Caitlyn Gellar ... and of course Demi Lovato as the outsider at camp, Mitchie Torres.

Cardi B's baby No. 2 is finally here!!!

Cardi gave birth to her baby Saturday at a hospital in the New York area. She posted a photo of the special moment with Offset in the hospital. She also added the blue heart emoji so ... baby boy?!?

As we reported ... the "I Like It" rapper made the surprise announcement in June during a performance at the BET Awards. Cardi performed alongside Offset and the rest of Migos ... showing off a revealing outfit 'cause you could definitely see her massive baby bump.

Cardi later confirmed the news on Twitter with an elegant photo shoot that showed off her baby bump. Up until that point ... Cardi B had been laying low ... and the surprise announcement was the reason why.

This, of course, is Cardi and Offset's second baby. Cardi gave birth to Kulture ... who is 3 years old. After the huge announcement at the BET Awards ... we got Cardi and Offset at the after-party and asked them a ton of questions about baby No. 2.

Cardi and Offset kept their lips sealed on just about everything ... but they did reveal Kulture's absolutely ECSTATIC about being a big sis.

CONGRATS!!!

Before this posin' pipsqueak was an all-star actress taking roles in some of your favorite films, she was just another bowl cut baby taking a stance in Charleston, West Virginia.

This little lady rose to fame when she scored the starring role in a science-fiction television show created by 'Star Wars' director J.J. Abrams -- which earned her a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. You may recognize her when she aged overnight on screen with her first breakout film, a romantic comedy starring alongside love interest Mark Ruffalo and best friend Judy Greer.
