celebrity kids

Master P's 16-year-old son, Mercy, put on an absolutely incredible show ... the kid of the famous music icon just dropped a 40 piece in his first high school game as a sophomore.

Mercy, P's youngest, plays for Minnehaha Academy in Minnesota ... and they were taking on Apple Valley, and they had no answer for him all night.

As you can see in the video, Mercy was in his bag ... scoring in a variety of ways -- attacking the rim, shooting outside the perimeter, and even hitting a few mid-range jumpers.

This should come as no surprise 'cause hoops runs in the family. P had a stint in the NBA back in the day ... and Mercy's brother, Hercy, plays college ball at Tennessee State University.

P tried to warn us about the emergence of Mercy -- who committed to playing at the University of Houston -- telling TMZ Sports his son could have a legendary career like Hakeem Olujawon.

"His favorite teams was University of Houston and Duke," P told us, "That was his final choice and to be able to do that as a young kid right now ... he's blessed," P recently told us.

"A lot of the greats went to University of Houston," P said. Clyde the Glyde, Elvin Hayes, Hakeem Olajuwon and now you got Mercy Miller -- could be on that same wall."

Before this mini mustache man was searching for love on television, he was just another French fella showing off his artistic abilities in Arlington, Texas.

This cultured kid became a fan favorite while putting his heart on the line for roses each week of a reality television series. He proved he was there for all the right reasons but was sent home before he was able to propose. Nevertheless, this is when his real love story began.

Now, this celebrity personality and heartthrob is married to the winning girl with whom he shares three children.

Before this hide-and-seek sweetie was dazzling audiences with her incredible harmonies, she was just another peek-a-boo pipsqueak being goofy for the camera in Cojímar, Cuba.

This cute kid first started her career in music when the tough judge, Simon Cowell, formed an all-girl group on a popular reality television series. It wasn't long before she began her solo career and rose to fame with numerous hits you've jammed out to on the radio.

Recently, this multi-talented singer and songwriter tried her footing in acting with a magical performance in a retelling of a classic Disney cartoon.

Before this little piano player was belting out her beautiful voice to millions, she was just another mini musician getting a feel for the keys in New York, New York.

This overall cutie's talent was hard to ignore for music producers when they discovered her at the young age of 15 years old. She was launched into stardom and has been thriving ever since ... especially by becoming one of the most successful female artists with 15 Grammy Awards (5 which she won in the same year).

With all that success, this girl really is on fire!

There's a new Peter Pan movie that's about to take to the skies next year -- and wouldn't you know it ... their lead Wendy is getting paid handsomely, especially for her age!

Actress Ever Anderson, who's just 14 years old, stands to make at least six figures for her work on Disney's "Peter Pan & Wendy" flick ... a new live-action spin on the classic fairy tale that's due out sometime in 2022.

Like we said ... EA is playing a young Wendy Darling, PP's love interest and the oldest of the Darling children who join Peter on an adventure to Never Land. Unclear if there's a whole lot new or different they're doing this time around ... other than just rebooting the franchise.

In any case, TMZ got a hold of her minor's contract filed with the court -- which spells out what Ever is raking in for this movie ... as well as any sequels that get greenlit. For this film, she's guaranteed $100k ... and there's even a $50k bonus on the table if the movie is released straight to Disney+ without a theatrical run first.

Looks like Disney may have learned its lesson after the ScarJo and "Black Widow" fiasco and is addressing this scenario in the contract.

That's about all there is to be had for this first installment, but if a sequel comes about ... Ever's contract says she could earn at least $200k guaranteed on the next go-around, and if they're in the mood for part 3 -- it'd be a cool $400k right out the gate ... not to mention any bonuses that could be attached to those respective projects.

Before this little cowgirl was riding her high horse into the music industry, she was just another country kid shouting 'yeehaw' while growing up in Golden, Texas.

This little lady has made quite her mark with her award-winning talent and country-pop tunes ... she's won an astonishing amount of Grammy Awards in the short span of her career and has played for huge audiences at festivals including Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

She just recently released her newest studio record which was accompanied by a visual album that featured many noteworthy celebrities.

Frank Mir's daughter Isabella is an MMA fighter ... but it wasn't (only) her former UFC champion dad who inspired her to fight in a locked cage -- that honor belongs to Ronda Rousey.

TMZ Sports spoke to Frank about his 18-year-old daughter ... and while he admits to initially being hesitant to see his girl fight, he says he rather help her win, as opposed to simply being a spectator.

"She loves it. She wants to do it. I said a long time ago, I'd rather be the captain of the ship than be watching from the shoreline."

FYI, Bella is 2-0 in the cage. She had her first pro fight in 2020. She's also a badass wrestler who routinely beat boys in high school. Bella also won the SMC Girls Folkstyle National Wrestling Championships earlier this year.

Mir says years ago neither he nor his daughter believed there was a path to becoming a UFC fighter for a woman ... but Frank says that changed when Ronda burst on the scene.

Of course, Rousey was the female fighter who changed Dana White's mind ... after the UFC prez once vowed women wouldn't fight in his organization.

But, Ronda made her UFC debut in 2013 and became a global superstar ... inspiring many young girls along the way, including Bella.

Mir's daughter might be a pro fighter, but he isn't done in the cage, despite being 42 years old.

Frank, who once beat Brock Lesnar, is fighting boxer Kubrat Pulev Saturday night in Triller's new Triad Combat organization ... where MMA fighters and boxers will fight in a triangular-shaped ring.

We also talked to Rampage Jackson, captain of Mir's MMA team. He's been locked in a war of words with Shannon Briggs, the boxing team captain.

Channing Tatum is logging some quality time with his daughter ... selling lemonade by the side of the road and serving a very famous customer in Zooey Deschanel!!!

The "Magic Mike" star helped his little girl, Everly, open a lemonade stand Friday in Los Angeles ... wrangling in customers with some homemade signs and balloons.

Channing and Everly, who he shares with estranged wife Jenna Dewan, are calling the pop-up stand Evie's Lemies ... and daddy was dancing around and twirling their painted yellow and purple sign.

The dude's got skills ... Channing's sign-twirling looks like it caught Zooey's eye ... the actress stopped by for some fresh lemonade with her boyfriend, "Property Brothers" star Jonathan Scott.

TMZ broke the story ... Channing and Jenna finally worked out a parenting schedule in February 2020, putting an end to one of the nastier parts of their divorce, and they alternate holidays.

Before this football fella was one of the top country artists of his time, he was just another ballin' boy getting ready to score a touchdown in Delhi, Louisiana.

This sporty star has had a very long and impressive career ... which has spanned over 30 years with over half of his 16 albums reaching the top of the charts. A talented singer, producer, and musician, you can see him performing his hit songs all over -- he's even headlined Stagecoach in the past.

Now, he has three cute kids of his own in which he shares with a fellow beloved country singer.

Before this blue-eyed baby was shining on the silver screen, she was just another blonde beauty growing up in Los Angeles, California.

This smiling sweetheart stepped into the spotlight with a breakout role along with an ensemble of sisters finding their way in the world. Soon after, her career launched into stardom as she scored a reoccurring role on a widely popular television series based on a scandalous book series.

As one half of a lovable Hollywood couple, she's made headlines for her hilarious antics with her famous husband with whom she shares three children.

Bronny James was forced to give up his sick kicks over the weekend ... and it's all 'cause he lost a free-throw competition to a TikTokker.

For real.

Here's the deal ... LeBron James' oldest son entered into a bet with rising TikTok star "NeverMissAllie" -- agreeing to hand over the sneakers off his feet if he made fewer shots than the social media expert.

And, after Allie made nine of her 10 attempts ... Bronny stepped to the line -- and folded.

Check out the footage the TikTokker posted over the weekend ... the Sierra Canyon standout missed two of his first six shots, and when Allie gave him another chance, he still missed another one just three shots later.

Allie -- who has over half a million TikTok followers -- then promptly took Bronny's shoes ... which had to be a tough pill for the teenager to swallow, considering they appear to be Jordan 1 Union Los Angeles Blue Toes, which run for about $2,000 on resale sites.

To his credit, Bronny was a good sport about it all ... and gave Allie props for the sharpshooting.

Before this barber boy was rocking out on some of the biggest tours in the world, he was just another cute kid getting his haircut in Wilmette, Illinois.

This haircut cutie has been showing off his musical chops to fans for nearly two decades with his punk sound and hard-core band. Some of their popular songs have made history by making audiences dance and dance again ... with no signs of stopping, he just might save rock and roll!

Now, with three children of his own, this talented artist is still very involved with music and activism.

Los Angeles local Kingston Rossdale has spent his life in the bright lights of Hollywood -- complete with a bleached out mohawk, super stylish vintage clothes -- as the firstborn boy to the then rock and roll royalty Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale.

Kingston is the oldest of Gwen and Gavin's punk-rock runts ... he has two other celebrity spawn siblings including his 13-year-old brother Zuma Rossdale and the littlest of the cool kin 7-year-old Apollo Rossdale.

Kingston continues to live his best life as an L.A. staple and budding artist.

Before this happy girl was one of the funniest females on television, she was just another kid flashing a smile for the camera in East Cleveland, Ohio.

This cute kid has gained tons of acting experience with her features on popular comedy series ... but it wasn't until she scored a reoccurring role in a college-set satire that she became a familiar face to audiences all over.

Ever since the successful sitcom ended in 2015, she has made her rounds with iconic characters ... such as an Emmy-nominated guest spot on "A Black Lady Sketch Show."

Before this blushing beauty was smacking down her opponents in the ring, she was just another rosy runt ready for her close-up in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

This little lady is best known for being a fierce fighter and an epic threat to anyone facing her in the WWE ring. As the daughter of a famous Hall of Fame wrestler, she followed in her father's footsteps and has won numerous noteworthy titles.

Also, you can watch this athlete in all the behind-the-scenes drama on a reality show alongside fellow female WWE superstars, Nikki Bella and Brie Bella.

The daughter of ex-NBA player Corey Benjamin was involved in another on-court fight just weeks before her viral sucker punch ... new video, obtained by TMZ Sports, shows.

The violent altercation went down in mid-September in Del Amo, Calif. -- just two months before she sucker punched a girl during a youth basketball game near Anaheim last weekend.

In the footage, you can see the teenager was jockeying with another girl to try to gain position inside the key ... when she suddenly snapped.

Video shows Benjamin's daughter threw several punches at the girl -- before sprinting toward another girl on the court and throwing even more haymakers.

We're told officials later hit her with an indefinite ban from the venue over the altercation.

You'll recall, Benjamin's daughter was hit with a similar punishment following her actions during a game this past Saturday.

In that incident, the girl laid out her opponent after she felt she was fouled on a jump shot. The mother of the teenager who was punched tells us she has filed a criminal report against Benjamin's daughter over it all.

Benjamin has issued an apology over his daughter's actions, telling NBC L.A. this week, "As a father, I'm shocked and disappointed at my daughter's behavior as this is not a reflection of the values and standards that my family holds. Nor does it exemplify the values, character and spirit of sportsmanship that the game of basketball requires."
