celebrity kids

Before this lil' baby girl turned into a shining star in Hollywood, she was just memorizing her lines as a child actor, auditioning for "The Lion King" at age 9 and growing up in Harvey, Illinois.

She has an older sister and younger twin siblings, and being that she started singing in the choir at just 5 years old, you can bet on this gal to bust out her superb vocal chops.  ... She's acted in countless movies including "Joyful Noise," "Pimp" and "Hustlers" with Cardi B.

Her popular song, "Giants," has nearly 169 million streams on Spotify.

Kim Kardashian is mulling over a big decision ... whether to go to court and ask a judge to strip Kanye West of joint legal custody of their 4 kids, because her ex-husband has flagrantly ignored their custody agreement.

The latest legal war was set off after Kanye agreed in a mediation Friday not to release a previously recorded song in which their daughter North raps. The track -- "Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine" -- also includes a phone convo between Diddy and Kanye.

Thing is ... Kim was vehemently opposed to letting North participate in any way ... and according to their divorce settlement, they both have equal say in making decisions for their kids.

Gene Hackman's will has been unveiled -- and the two-time Oscar-winner left every penny of his fortune to his wife, Betsy Arakawa -- but there's a big twist.

The Hollywood legend made Betsy his sole beneficiary back in 1995, according to the docs, obtained by TMZ.

What's interesting is that his three children -- son Christopher and two daughters Leslie and Elizabeth -- are not named in the will. It was all supposed to go to Betsy ... but, the timing of their deaths could change where the money goes.

Before this snackin' kid in her red tutu turned into a movie star, she was just rockin' her army green tee, runnin' the streets of the concrete jungle and jumpstarting her acting career when she was just 9 years old.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Taylor estimates the net value of Pamela's estate at $840,000 ... though that's not a definitive figure, as there may be private trusts outside of the probate case.

Liev Schrieber says his child walking a runway at Paris Fashion Week doesn't mean there's a new Hollywood nepo baby on the block.

We got the "Ray Donovan" star at the new Planet Hollywood in New York City and our photog asked him about his kid, Kai, making her runway debut at the Valentino show.

Liev isn't buying the notion that Kai is riding her father's famous coattails and getting top modeling gigs because of her parents.

Before this funny kiddo turned into a television personality, he was just throwin' on his coolest attire in Montreal, Quebec ... bustin' out the white sunnies and teaching himself how to whip up a tasty meal!

Backstreet Boys singer Brian Littrell could barely keep it together as he stood outside the doors during his 22-year-old son Baylee's audition for "American Idol" on Sunday night's show.

Brian got visibly emotional as he told cameras how "proud" he is of his son during the Season 23 premiere of the singing competition, explaining ... "He's obviously grown up in the business and I think he's cut out for it."

The proud papa was also thrilled to join his son in his audition at judge Luke Bryan's request. They seamlessly harmonized to the chorus of Baylee's original song "Waiting on Myself to Die" ... and Brian choked up again as Baylee was praised by all three judges -- including Lionel Richie and Carrie Underwood.
