Mathew Knowles is making it crystal clear -- Kanye West’s controversial antics -- especially those attacking Mathew's family -- won’t fly forever, and it’s just a matter of time before it costs him dearly.

Just days after Ye took an offensive swing at Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s kids during his online ravings, Mathew tells TMZ ... after 35 years in the biz, he knows one thing for sure, "People pay a price for being stupid, especially in the music industry."

The widely held belief is Ye's mental illness is fueling his recent ranting, and Mathew acknowledged that, saying, "I'm hopeful Kanye gets the type of help he needs, in terms of mental health."

Kim Kardashian is worried about the long-term impact Kanye West's unhinged social media meltdowns will have on their children ... TMZ has learned.

For almost a week, Kanye has been going on escalating online rants about how he feels he's been mistreated within the Hollywood music industry, plus personal attacks on the Kardashians ... including the mother of his four children.

Multiple sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Kim is devastated, and she's worried about Kanye’s actions and how they will impact their 4 children.

Tina Knowles is keeping her cool ... following Kanye West's appalling verbal attack on Beyoncé and Jay-Z's kids.

Tina -- Beyoncé's mom -- hopped on Instagram Wednesday and posted a video of herself seemingly addressing Kanye's X rant targeting Jay and Bey's 7-year-old twins -- Rumi and Sir.

On Tuesday, Kanye wrote on X, "Wait has anyone ever seen Jay-Z and Beyonce’s younger kids" ... before questioning the twins' mental capacity.

Kanye West's wild claim Kim Kardashian is pimping out their kids strikes people close to her as laughable -- especially considering he's been hanging with the controversial Tate brothers ... TMZ has learned.

Kim and Ye's co-parenting relationship hit a new low Wednesday as he fired off a string of outrageous posts on X ... the most offensive to Kim being the one where he accuses her of sex trafficking, due to North's involvement in an FKA Twigs song, and an accompanying TikTok.

However, sources familiar with the situation tell us the issue of trafficking already came up last week during an emergency hearing over North. We're told Kim abruptly pulled the plug while North was visiting her dad, because security guards informed her Andrew and Tristan Tate were going to be arriving at the location.

Before this lil' guy in his light blue suit was lending his iconic voice to movies and tv shows, he was just a snazzy kiddo with smarts ... and winning the National Forensics League's National Tournament Championships in college ...

He may portray a cold dude on the big screen, but he grew up in hot Hollywood, Florida! One of his voice acting roles was LeFou in "Beauty and the Beast" and if you've seen "the Wedding Ringer" then you know who this talented dude is!

Need on more lil' hint? "In Summer!"

Jack Schlossberg — the grandson of John F. Kennedy — went ballistic on social media for not getting a heads up on the release of the late president's 1963 assassination files by the Trump administration.

Schlossberg jumped on X Tuesday and blasted the Trump administration for failing to notify anyone in the Kennedy clan — except Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — about the massive JFK document dump, totaling 80,000 pages!

Schlossberg said it all came as a "total surprise," but Trump's actions were not a shock, noting that RFK Jr. "definitely knew." (RFK Jr. serves as Trump's Secretary of Health and Human Services.)

Steven Spielberg’s daughter had a front-row seat to an unforgettable moment at her first-ever courtside NBA game Monday night—sitting next to Tracy Morgan as he threw up all over the court at the New York Knicks game.

Destry Allyn Spielberg took to Instagram on Tuesday to make light of the awkward moment ... sharing a hilarious photo of herself looking absolutely disgusted as she sat one seat away from the 'SNL' star while he got sick.

She jokes that she "had a great time" in her first meme-worthy photo, then followed up with a snap of Tracy spewing vomit, overlaid with a shrugging emoji. Hey, s*** happens!

Sean "Diddy" Combs showered Kanye West with support in a leaked call from jail after Ye released a controversial song that apparently includes vocals from Ye's 11-year-old daughter North ... and Combs.

Check out the audio obtained by The Shade Room ... Diddy is advising his longtime pal to get back onstage and "tear down the stadiums" as the disgraced music mogul sits behind bars at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center, where he's awaiting trial on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

Seemingly referring to his criminal case, Diddy tells Ye "this s*** is wicked" and warns him to "be careful" ... before returning to the main topic of conversation, which is touring.

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.

Later this year, she will be starring in the horror film "Fear Street: Prom Queen," and if you've watched "A Bad Moms Christmas" with Mila Kunis, you probably saw this brunette kiddo.

St. Patrick's Day may be just around the corner, but this sweetie in green is in a no-pinch zone!

"Come on Barbie let's go party!"

One of David Hasselhoff's children wants to handle the affairs of her late mother, who she says recently died without a will.

David and Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff's daughter, Taylor Ann Hasselhoff-Fiore, filed new legal docs to become the administrator of Pamela's estate.

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!

He moved to New York City and started auditioning for movie and TV roles ... He's definitely an expert when it comes to food and wine, so much so he has two cookbooks! You may see him on your screens with costar Jonathan van Ness.

Need one more clue? During the pandemic, he was on Martha Stewart's "Martha Knows Best!"

Britney Spears is one proud mama after watching her 18-year-old son Jayden James showcase his smooth piano skills at her house Monday night -- in their second reunion since the holidays.

The Princess of Pop showed off her youngest son's piano playing in an Insta clip she shared and was clearly blown away as she described the moment as "so sick." She further gushed in the video's caption, writing ... "WOW WOW WOW !!!"

In a second video, Brit continued to praise Jayden, who was seemingly mumbling a freestyle rap.
