Family Fun

Gen Z nation was hot and activated this week, and we've got the biggest stories just for you ... time to Tap-In, y'all!

Cardi B is so relatable -- the iconic rapper who recently gave birth to Stefon Diggs' son, took her motherly frustrations out on Instagram Live ... annoyances over her own mother! Cardi's late-night cravings, such as cookies and jerky, went missing, and the blame was directly pointed at Cardi's mom, Clara Almánzar.

If you're an Ariana Grande fan, and you haven't already claimed your tix for the "Eternal Sunshine" tour, you may wanna act fast! Grande hit Amy Poehler's podcast and relayed her thoughts on touring: “I don’t want to say any definitive things. I do know that I’m very excited to do this small tour, but I think it might not happen again for a long, long, long, long time."

Y'all ready to Tap-In?! Gen-Z nation popped off this week, and we've done the lord's work just for you ... here are the hottest stories:

Timothée Chalamet blessed the cover of Vogue and in the interview he disclosed he wants kiddos! While the "Willy Wonka" star didn't directly say he would reproduce his talented gene pool with Kylie Jenner, he candidly sounded off about an un-named celeb who bragged about not having kids. TC feels otherwise and wants to bring life into this world! We gotta know:

Breakout star Mason Thames has the looks, and his superstar power has landed him in the same playing field as Hollywood icon Jim Carrey.

Check it out -- Thames scored three No. 1 box office hits in a single year with films "How to Train Your Dragon," "Black Phone 2," and "Regretting You." The last person to achieve this record was Jim Carrey in 1994, with "The Mask," "Dumb and Dumber" and "Ace Ventura."

"Can’t talk right now, I’m doin hot squirrel sh*t 🐿" ... and Rob Gronkowski's may be tall, handsome and mighty, but there's no wrong age for a cow-onsie!

The pumpkin patch outings are well underway -- Hollywood's feening for front porch-perfection, and we've got the biggest gourds in town! Who's ready to scope out the celebs' mighty finds?!

From "Jacka**" to jack-o'-lantern, Bam Margera was beaming with his lil' pumpkin, while famous moms, Lele Pons and Skai Jackson, posed with their mini me's ... The patches are poppin' this year!

Look back at Millie Bobby Brown who perfectly complimented the pumpkin backdrop in her breezy white tee ...

And, check out this silly snap of Hailey Bieber -- who met up with friends to indulge in some pumpkin painting!

Ashanti's got vacation on her brain ... flaunting her beach bod with her baby boy in the Bahamas!

Check out the pics and video -- the singer and actress showed off her figure in a bright pink one-piece Friday as she hit the sand with her 1-year-old son, Kareem Kenkaide Haynes.

The duo appeared to be having a blast as Ashanti lifted her little one up in the air and dipped his toes in the water. He didn't mind the wave crashing at his feet one bit, kicking them curiously as the water surrounded him.

Heidi Klum proves she is the hostess with the mostest at her first ever pre‑Oktoberfest party -- 'HeidiFest' -- in Munich, Germany on Friday ... getting absolutely soaked in some good 'ol Hofbräuhaus beer.

The supermodel participated in a traditional keg tapping ceremony -- similar to what you’d see at Oktoberfest -- and seems to accidentally shower herself with beer during that traditional moment ... and we're certainly not complaining.

Klum was joined by her husband Tom Kaulitz, brother-in-law Bill Kaulitz, her mother Erna Klum, and her kids with ex-husband Seal -- Leni Klum, Henry Samuel, Johan Samuel, and Lou Klum -- to celebrate the Bavarian traditions.

Let the games begin, 'cuz it's carnival and fair season ... and you best believe the celebs ain't backin' down from a good ol' time! Grab your popcorn and enjoy the show!

Stars like Taylor Lautner posed for a fierce photo at the fair with his pup, gymnast Suni Lee slipped out of her leotard and executed a sweet cotton candy snap. And, how many licks did it take Sami Sheen to get to the bottom of her ice cream cone 🍦?

With the bright lights as his canvas, makeup guru James Charles drew up a fluffy photo with some stuffed animals ...

The new school year has commenced and the celebs are time-stamping their young'uns heading off for the first day ... Well-earned, we're givin' out straight-A's for the precious pics!

Just before the school bell rang, Gabrielle Union snapped a cute pic with her 1st-grader Kaavia James Union Wade, Teddi Mellencamp sent her daughter Dove off with a big ol' hug, and singer Ne-Yo held on tight to his lil' ones ...

The college kids were also dropped off on the 'Gram -- seen here with Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber dropping off their 18-year-old son Sasha at college ...

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson got literally showered with cash -- but the real flex that made him richer than ever? Dancing the sacred Samoan Taualuga with his mom!

The actor dropped a Sunday IG clip showing full family vibes -- straight-up dancing with his daughters and relatives -- kicking things off shirtless to honor the Samoan tradition of proudly showing off Polynesian tattoos.

Dwayne explained every move in the caption, saying that slapping the ground was his way of showing respect for how sacred the moment -- and the ground -- becomes with elders present.

No one does 'effortless summer' better than Gisele Bündchen -- the iconic model gave an adorable update to her millions, with precious pics of her growing family!

The 45-year-old hot mama snapped a selfie with her son, who she welcomed with boyfriend Joaquim Valente back in February.

Soaking up summer's serenity, the Brazilian babe sailed to new heights in casual fashion -- seen here rockin' a striped top paired with blue jeans ...

Brooks Nader is giving fans a show once again ... this time rocking a thong bikini -- with no top to go with it -- during her ongoing vacation in Italy.

Check out the pics from her Wednesday Instagram Story post -- the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl showed off her toned derrière as she balanced on a floating obstacle course off the coast of Sardinia ... wearing brown bottoms with nothing to cover her top half.

Brooks looks like she's having one wet 'n wild time on the European getaway ... which includes her sisters Mary Holland Nader, Grace Ann Nader and Sarah Jane Nader, plus some friends.

It's a battle of the sexy sisters y'all -- Amelia Gray Hamlin and Delilah Belle Hamlin slay these red-hot bikinis, but which famous sibling has you sweatin' under the collar?!

Amelia's rockin' a bright red suit, while Delilah's take on red is a smidge darker, but which one's a sparker 🔥?!

The question here is: Who'd You Rather?!

Lizzo's hungry for more weenies even after the Fourth of July ... telling her fans her new ensemble makes her want another hot dog -- and, we don't think she means one ya put mustard on ordinarily.

The singer-songwriter shared a short clip to promote her Yitty swimwear line on Saturday ... and, she says her new swimsuit's makin' her HUNGRY.

Watch the vid ... Lizzo says she's hungry for a hot dog in the red one-piece -- with a tone that suggests food isn't the only thing on her mind.
