Madonna's son didn't have to be sold by Guy Ritchie when the 15-year-old made the decision to stay in London ... we're told Rocco was fed up with the singer, her lifestyle and her parenting skills.

Sources who were on Madonna's tour tell us, Rocco was "miserable" being carted around the world by his mom. As one source put it, "There were horrible, full-blown fights with screaming and crying."

We're told during the Stockholm leg of the tour, Rocco was a no-show when the charter plane was ready to take off ... he had made an escape run, but it appears he eventually came back.

Things deteriorated during the London shows in December. Rocco told his dad he couldn't handle it anymore ... he couldn't take the traveling and the fights. Our sources say Rocco told Guy he felt like Madonna treated him more like a trophy than a son.

Rocco now thinks his mom is jealous of his dad's "stable life" and his desire to live with his dad.

Rocco has been ordered to return to NYC for a court hearing. It will be interesting to hear if his bad feelings dissipate and how much the judge considers his living preference.

Gilbert Arenas is fun to some ... dangerous to others.

Hibachi took the kids out riding in his Polaris Slingshot and it looks like his son Alijah is on the hood, holding on for dear life.

Gilbert posted the video but then deleted it ... which makes us think someone raised some safety issues about an 8-year-old gripping the hood of a moving vehicle.

How does a guy who bashes people's faces in for a living bond with his family over the holidays?

If you're UFC superstar Anderson Silva ... SIMULATED WARFARE!!!

Silva -- currently training for a big fight against Michael Bisping on Feb 27 -- took 12 family members out to Hollywood Sports in Bellflower, CA this past Saturday for some yuletide paintballin' fun.

We spoke with the owner of HS ... who tells us Anderson is a frequent visitor and believes the time shooting at each others heads promotes family unity ... and helps work off all that turkey.

How hardcore is Silva about his paintball? We're told he owns his own custom-made military grade tactical gear ... and loves to compete on the "Saving Private Ryan" battle course.

Still ... he's one of the only guys we can think of who's more dangerous WITHOUT a gun.

Rick Hilton says Kyle Richards is so pissed off at Bravo for airing her family's dirty laundry, she's quitting the show ... but our production sources say Rick's just wrong.

We got Rick at LAX Monday, and asked about the family rift over Nicky's wedding ... where Kyle's hubby Mauricio was persona non grata.

Rick told us Kyle's upset at Bravo ... so upset she's given notice. Fact is ... we're told Kyle has threatened to quit in the past.

Guy Ritchie got in Rocco's ear and drove a wedge between Madonna and the 15-year-old ... sources close to Madonna tell TMZ.

We're told Guy and Madonna have had a "volatile" relationship for years, and Rocco has been a source of conflict. Madonna, we're told, is a strict disciplinarian and "very controlling" ... something that doesn't sit well with Rocco and for that matter most 15 year olds.

Our Madonna sources say Guy was angry at Madonna and used his visit with Rocco to stoke the coals, and it worked.

We're told Madonna isn't worried ... she's confident Rocco's coming back home for good, and this is just part of the co-parenting hand she's been dealt.

Kylie Jenner is safe for another 72 hours ... but after that, the crazed guy who's been trying to get at her could be on the loose again.

The man who tried to force his way onto Kylie's property last week has been caught again, after escaping from a psych ward. L.A. County Sheriff's deputies found the man and put him on another 72 hour hold.

TMZ broke the story ... Kylie's trespasser showed up at her security gate and tried strong-arming his way in. He was taken into custody and put on a psych hold ... where we're told he escaped.

The guy believes he's "soulmates" with the reality star.

Our Kardashian sources say the man will not go away and he's been at her property at least 10 times.

Law enforcement tells us the man will be watched more closely, but these 72 hour holds are just a stop gap.

Hillary Clinton high-jacketed the moment as she and her family took a stroll Sunday in an unseasonably warm NYC.

Hillary was wearing a coat which looks like the one she got a dozen years ago in Afghanistan. In case you didn't notice, Hillary's a co-gripper as she and Chelsea push 1-year-old Charlotte along in a stroller.

Bill's in the background along with Chelsea's hubby, Marc Mezvinsky.

Kanye West is a fun dad, at least if you ask North West.

North had a big grin as she rode on Kanye's shoulders after a meal in Calabasas.

Kim was nowhere in sight ... probably because she's got a new kid.

Beyonce just trumped President Obama and Insane Clown Posse with the Christmas card she sent to 8-year-old Safyre Terry.

We're told Bey's camp reached out to Safyre's family earlier in the week to keep an eye out for a package.

She was true to her word. A card arrived in the mail, along with a handwritten message from Bey: "To My Survivor Safyre! You are such an incredible inspiration. Have a beautiful holiday."

But wait ... there was more -- a "Flawless" t-shirt and a cool headband.

Safyre's family tells us she's a huge fan of Queen Bey and can't wait to wear the tee.

The outpouring has been incredible and there's still a garage full of letters yet to open.

Phaedra Parks feels like Santa arrived earlier this year, because he's already given her kids a gift ... they won't have to go to prison this year to visit their dad.

Phaedra's uneasy that the kids have been visiting their father, her estranged husband Apollo Nida who's doing hard time.

We're told Apollo's been moved to a new facility and the kids -- 2 year-old Dylan and 5-year-old Ayden -- haven't been approved for visitation, and that's not expected to happen until after the holidays.

The kids have been video chatting with their dad everyday and they sent him an Xmas care package, but we're told Phaedra is relieved they haven't been approved yet because she thinks the kids are too young to handle visits to prison.

Bristol Palin is now a mother of 2.

Sarah Palin's daughter gave birth Wednesday to Sailor Grace. Sailor joins Tripp as part of Bristol's brood.

She hasn't revealed the identity of the daddy, but she announced she was pregnant just a few weeks after she called it quits with fiance Dakota Meyer.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were offered millions of dollars for the first pics of baby Saint ... TMZ has learned.

We're told the offers -- from various magazines -- range from $2 million to $2.5 million. We're told the magazines want more than just a head shot of Saint ... they want the full family, including North. Candid family shots are part of the offer.

As for whether the financial offer is in range of what it's worth ... we're told it's dead on.

Here's the snag. Our Kardashian sources tell us at this point they're "almost certain" they will reject all offers.

Caitlyn Jenner and son Burt got mistaken for boyfriend and girlfriend ... hilarious for sure, but it soon turned ugly.

Caitlyn and 37-year-old Burt Jenner went to lunch Monday in West L.A. when photogs jumped to the conclusion they were hooking up and peppered them with questions.

Check out the video. You see Caitlyn leave and Burt blocked one of the photogs so he couldn't follow her. When the photog gets out of his car -- presumably to confront Burt -- Caitlyn's son goes on the attack.

It sucks for kids when your mom is in jail -- but Dodgers star Justin Turner did a really cool thing this weekend ... helping the children of inmates celebrate the holidays ... and even handing out gifts.

Turner went to the L.A. County Jail in Lynwood, CA as part of a program that rewards female inmates who enroll into educational programs while doing their time.

But this time the reward was for the kids -- because the children of all women who enrolled got a brand new bicycle for the holidays ... and Turner was there to help give them out!

"This is what it’s all about," Turner said ... "seeing a smile on a child’s face is the best feeling."

Sergeant Peter Gomez -- who helped coordinate the event -- added, "We know that the holiday season can be an emotional time. It's hard on the mothers who are in jail and it is especially hard on their children who come visit them. So we did what we could to shed a little joy during Christmas time."

Pretty cool stuff.

The father of Andrew Getty, the socialite son who died back in March of ulcers and meth, has filed legal docs to collect a fortune from his dead son's estate.

Gordon Getty, the son of J. Paul Getty, has filed a creditor's claim for $14.1 million. Gordon, who famously negotiated the sale of his family's oil business to Texaco for more than $10 billion, claims he bankrolled his son for years, with loans totaling more than $10.6 million.

Gordon also wants to get back some of the priceless art pieces he loaned to his son ... 55 pieces in all worth more than a million bucks.

Coco has dumped her baby weight so fast, even her kid seems to doubt she was once pregnant.

Coco pressed the flesh with little Chanel, as if to prove the baby was once on the other side.

Check out the pic of Coco at 37 weeks ... it's just unfair.
