Family

Jo Frost's reality TV crew recorded footage of a father disciplining his child with a belt, and she felt the incident was so severe she reported it to child services ... TMZ has learned.

While recording an episode of her new show "Jo Frost: Nanny On Tour" ... Frost visited a family last October in Gwinnett County, GA. Sources connected to production tell us the Spivey family contacted the show because their 3 kids don't respect mom's word around the house ... only dad's.

After Jo's visit the show left surveillance cameras -- with the Spiveys' approval -- which captured a scene where the father sends his 9-year-old son up to his bedroom, takes off his belt and then goes into the bedroom. The boy was in trouble for using dad's charger.

The episode, which aired Thursday night on the UP channel, doesn't show any beating, but you can hear the boy wailing from behind the closed door.

As part of her follow-up with families ... Frost reviews the footage and we're told when she saw what happened between Chris Spivey and his son, she immediately reported it to DCFS.

We spoke to the Spiveys, who confirmed DCFS investigated. Mr. Spivey admits using corporal punishment in the past -- which is legal in Georgia as long as the child isn't injured -- but he denies hitting his son in the video. He claims he only "hit his bed," and claims the boy was crying because "he was frightened."

Big Ang had a dying wish -- a disco party in Brooklyn.

Ang loved a discotheque in her hood called Pastels. She wanted her family and friends to have a hard-drinking night where the music would reign supreme. Ang felt this was more appropriate to celebrate her life than a stodgy memorial service.

Here's the problem. Pastels has been shut down for a while. It's unclear if the family will find another venue.

As for a final resting place, we're told one thing's for sure -- no cremation, because Ang was freaked out by fire. She'll be buried, but as of this moment the family hasn't chosen a site.

Ang passed away Thursday morning after battling cancer. She was 55.

Kanye West acknowledged Kylie Jenner blindsided him by secretly signing with PUMA and he WAS pissed off ... and he says PUMA's competition, Adidas, saved him.

Our photog asked Kanye a slew of questions Wednesday at LAX, and Kanye's choice of words is interesting ... "It's possible to go under and still make it out." Kanye was talking about him sinking $53 million into his fashion biz, and getting no bites from investors.

Kanye has lots of love for Adidas ... which sounds like his peace treaty with Kylie could get problematic.

Undeniable proof Kanye West is a changed, more patient man ... he actually sat through a freakin' magic show with Kim Kardashian and North.

Audience members at magician Dan White's small NYC show tell us Yeezy even seemed impressed with the tricks on Sunday night -- so much so, he stepped up when White asked for a volunteer to help with the final card trick.

Check out the video ... Kanye looked totally baffled by White's sleight of hand.

The magician's only mistake was asking Kanye what his magical hand gesture would be. He quickly replied with a double bird salute.

Rob Kardashian's relationship with Blac Chyna has now been memorialized in song.

Blac Chyna posted video of a massive art piece she got from Rob ... emblazoned with lyrics from the couple's song, John Legend's "The Beginning."

And if that doesn't tickle your pickle ... he also gifted her more than 100 red roses.

By any other name, it's love.

Jimmy Iovine and Liberty Ross got hitched this weekend and everything went flawlessly ... except the skywriting plane screwed up royally!

Check out the pic ... the writing in the sky reads "J ♥ M." When you don't first succeed you do it again, which the pilot did the second time around.

The shindig went down Saturday on the sand at their beachside home in Malibu. We're told around 50 friends and family members watched as Jimmy and Liberty exchange vows. The big party is tonight.

37-year-old Liberty walked barefoot down to the water's edge, where she threw a gigantic garland into the Pacific.

62-year-old Jimmy is one of the most successful and richest people in show biz. He co-founded Interscope Records, as well as Beats by Dr. Dre which sold for $3 billion.

It's Liberty's second marriage ... she was married to Rupert Sanders and has 2 kids with him. Jimmy has 4 kids with his ex-wife.

Kanye West is one of the most successful people in the world of music -- has been for a long time -- which makes it especially confounding he confessed to being $53 million in debt.

Kanye tweeted Saturday night, "I write this to you my brothers while still $53 million dollars in personal debt," adding "Please pray we overcome."

All the estimates you read about are guesses, but Kanye's net worth is often estimated at somewhere north of $100 mil and Kim Kardashian adds nearly $50 mil to the pot, probably more.

Dude needs a good Kickstarter campaign.

Hilary Duff's dogging it on the beach ... getting down on all fours and that adds up to a perfect 10 -- scientifically speaking.

We got these shots of the now officially single mom on vacation, soaking up the sand and surf on Maui.

Former NHL star Mike Comrie, aka Hil's new ex-husband, was also there with their 3-year-old son Luca. But this photo gallery is just for mom.

Pamela Anderson officially passed the sex symbol torch to sons Brandon Lee and Dylan Lee at the Saint Laurent fashion show in Hollywood Wednesday night.

Pam and Tommy Lee's boys were solidly in the spotlight during the show at the Palladium ... mainly because 18-year-old Dylan (on the right) recently made his modeling debut in a campaign for Saint Laurent.

By the way, Pam's wearing heels and both of the boys are still towering over her. They grow up so fast.

And hot ... with the right genes.

Dakota and Elle Fanning looked like they were auditioning for a role in a remake of Stephen King's "The Shining" at Wednesday night's Saint Laurent fashion show in Hollywood.

It's a good pic, if only because they're rarely photographed together.

The sisters are separated by 4 years -- Dakota's 21 and Elle's 17 -- but who can tell under all that eyeliner?

Come to think about it ... a remake of "The Shining" would be totally awesome.

Shia LaBeouf and his mom are so determined to get back the money he loaned his uncle, they're willing to kick him and his wife out of their home ... according to his aunt.

Shia's aunt, Sharon Saide, just filed legal docs saying she's the sole owner of the Upper East Side apartment Shia's been trying to take to settle the debt her husband owes.

According to docs, in 2013 the courts ordered Uncle Barry to pay back $840k. Shia had loaned him the money in 2009 to cover business expenses. The sum has ballooned with interest to nearly $1 million.

Sharon says the deed to the apartment is in her name because it was purchased mostly with her inheritance money, and Barry's name isn't on the deed. Her point is Shia can't take it to cover Barry's debt.

She also says the apartment's worth $2.8 million -- way more than what Barry owes -- and her nephew is just trying to "intimidate and pressure" them into giving up the property.

Ben Stiller mugged for the cameras at their "Zoolander 2" premiere -- and by mugged we mean he and his son went full Blue Steel.

Stiller and his wife, Christine Taylor, made it a family affair with their kids Ella and Quinlin at the world premiere of "Zoolander 2" at Alice Tully Hall in New York Tuesday night.

The family stopped to pose on the purple carpet and Stiller's son grabbed the spotlight and flashed a perfect Blue Steel to the crowds.

Stiller's been on a tear promoting "Zoolander 2" in Milan at a department store and breaking a record for exposing his ultra-long stick.

You know rap beef is serious when mamas get involved, and Ghostface Killah's just stepped into his feud with Martin Shkreli ... threatening to open a fresh can.

Ghost posted a video rebuttal to the threats Shkreli recently made against him, and this time he brought back up -- his mom and a couple friends ... who made a badass entrance in ski masks.

Just watch ... Shkreli and his goon squad might want to stand down.

Wu-Tang moms ain't nothing to f*** with!

What the hell was up with Eli Manning's face???

It's the question everyone was asking when the camera cut to Eli last night moments after Peyton's Broncos scored their final touchdown to secure a Super Bowl victory

Now, Peyton's younger bro is finally breaking his silence ... telling us what was going through his mind -- and why he wasn't jumping for joy like everyone else in the VIP suite!

By the way, Eli's face has also become a pretty popular meme on social media -- and the good news ... Eli approves -- saying it's all in good fun.

Johnny Manziel's father says he's tried to get his son into rehab TWICE in the past week -- but Johnny refuses -- and now he's concerned he could die if he doesn't get help, asap.

Paul Manziel spoke with the Dallas Morning News and said, "I truly believe if they can't get him help, he won't live to see his 24th birthday."

Paul told DMN his family first tried to admit 23-year-old Johnny to the Enterhealth Ranch addiction facility in Van Alstyne on Saturday (after the incident with Colleen Crowley) -- but he refused to stay.

On Tuesday, Paul Manziel said he tried a second time ... begging his son to enter the Carrollton Springs Hospital ... which specializes in treating patients who suffer from mental illness and/or addiction.

Again, Johnny refused to stay ... Paul says.

Justin Bieber may have started a new holiday by pulling a late night recording session with his grandfather!

Biebs hit up a studio in Santa Monica on Wednesday with grandpa in tow. Justin's done stuff with gramps on social media, but this is the first time we've seen them hang together at work.

Here's a couple of the dynamic duo's greatest hits ... so far.
