Family

Bobbi Kristina’s funeral will be yet another family face-off -- the Browns are on high alert and worried the Houstons will sneak a photo of her dead body ... and sell it.

Sources close to the Browns tell TMZ ... they fear a repeat of what happened when Whitney Houston was laid to rest in 2012 ... when a photo of her body, in her casket, was snapped and ended up on the cover of a magazine.

Since the Brown family was persona non grata at the funeral ... they believe someone from the Houston side was behind it.

Our sources say the Brown family plans to band together and stand guard ... and their eyes will be trained on the Houston family.

Bobbi Kristina's casket arrived at the church where her funeral will be held ... and the mood is tense.

The casket was taken inside St. James United Methodist Church in Atlanta for today's funeral, where the Brown and Houston families will no doubt be separated. There is extreme tension between the families ... centering on money, control and just bad blood.

Hope Solo may have some competition ... in about 18 years ... 'cause Kim Kardashian's daughter is a SOCCER PLAYER now ... and she's already got her sights set on the goalie job.

Kim K posted a pic of 2-year-old North West out on the soccer pitch -- complete with cleats and shin guards ... along with the caption, "Officially a soccer mom! #MyLittleGoalie."

Janet Jackson has put her life on hold to take care of her dad while he recovers from 3 heart attacks, and she's the only member of the brood who made the trek to Brazil.

We're told Janet arrived in Brazil Tuesday to tend to her father, cancelling rehearsals for her upcoming tour. We're told Janet limited the access to ICU, where Joe was hooked up for nearly a week.

The good news ... Joe's now out of ICU and on the mend. He's eating solid foods and the goal is for him to regain enough strength so he can get on a plane and return to the U.S. for further treatment.

We're told La Toya and Jermaine were talking about flying over, but when Joe's condition improved they decided to wait until he came home.

If all goes well, Joe could return home as early as Monday.

Bobbi Kristina will be laid to rest Saturday and her funeral already has the Browns and the Houstons fighting ... over money.

TMZ's obtained the invite ... the guest list is tight and even if you're on the list you have to present a government-issued ID at the door.

Now the conflict -- the invitation suggests, in lieu of flowers, donations should be sent to The Marion P. Foundation, a charity run by Bobbi Kristina's aunt Pat Houston, benefiting troubled teens.

Leolah Brown, BK's other aunt, claims Pat's just lining her personal bank account and she's asking people not to send “ONE RED CENT!” to the charity. Leolah says Pat's "not the sweet quiet person that she's tried so hard to make people believe she was... ." And what's more -- she alleges the late Whitney Houston would agree.

Nick Gordon desperately wants to attend Bobbi Kristina's funeral Saturday ... so he sent Bobby Brown an email begging him for his blessing.

According to the email, which we've seen, Nick says, "I loved Krissi with all my heart and I am destroyed that she is gone and I need to say goodbye."

Nick realizes he's on the outs with the family as cops continue their homicide investigation with him in their crosshairs.

Nick, who included Pat Houston in his email because she's arranging the funeral, goes on, "I'm begging you both to please put your differences aside and allow me this chance."

And there's a dash of guilt laced in the email ... "Krissi loved me very much and she would want me there."

Nick was persona non grata the entire time Bobbi Kristina was hospitalized, with most members of both families blaming Gordon for BK's death.

The irony shouldn't be lost on Bobby Brown ... he was blamed by Whitney Houston's family for her death and even left her funeral early after a disagreement over seating.

Arnold Schwarzenegger hooked up with Maria Shriver at a fancy hotel Thursday ... but it's not what you think.

The former governator celebrated his 68th birthday with his estranged wife and their two daughters, Katherine and Christina, at the Montage in Bev Hills.

It's good to know they're getting along during the divorce process .... which has been ongoing for 4 years.

It's hard to say goodbye.

Q: What’s blue-eyed, hot and Australian?

A: A Hemsworth brother.

Kourtney Kardashian has calmed down since her split from Scott Disick, and she's not only willing to share custody with Scott ... she wants it that way.

Kardashian sources tell us, Kourtney believes 5-year-old Mason, 3-year-old Penelope and 7-month-old Reign need to have a real, meaningful relationship with their dad. So she wants to hammer out a formal custody agreement which not only gives them joint custody ... each will spend a substantial amount of time with the kids.

Our Kardashian sources confirm Kourtney met with disso-queen Laura Wasser last Monday. It's significant because Wasser is known in divorce lawyer circles as an attorney who always pushes for joint custody.

Coco and Ice-T are about to get a heavy dose of reality, because TMZ has learned she's pregnant!

They've been jawboning about it for years ... he already has 2 kids and a 20-year-old grandson, but she wanted a kid. In the end, she got her way, after nearly 14 years of marriage.

LeBron James is not sticking to the rivers and lakes that he's used to -- instead he took the whole damn fam on vacation to Hawaii, and had a run-in with a waterfall that had him grinning from ear-to-ear.

Scott Disick has begun the family healing process ... spending Wednesday with his son.

Disick took five-year-old Mason to Barnes & Noble in Calabasas, where the kid loaded up on toys.

Scott and Mason then went for an early dinner at Rosti Cafe.

Although he's been out of the picture for the past month following his split with Kourtney, Disick kept in touch from a far ... mostly thanks to FaceTime.

Kelly Rutherford was just dealt what could be an unrecoverable blow in her battle to regain custody of her 2 children.

A judge just ruled the actress had no recourse to wage custody war in California. Her ex-husband, Daniel Giersch, has an order from a judge in Monaco -- where he lives -- giving him custody of 8-year-old Hermes and 6-year-old Helena.

The kids have been living with their dad in Monaco but Kelly won the right to get them for the summer. Today's ruling clears the way for Daniel to take them back.

Kelly has been fighting for 3 years, but it's mostly been a losing battle.

Zoe Kravitz and her new boyfriend, singer Twin Shadow, shared a moment together recently on the streets of New York ... looking an awful lot like her parents, Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet.

If Jason Momoa doesn't have his glasses on, he might get pissed seeing these pics.

It now appears the mysterious tent that was erected outside the hospice caring for Bobbi Kristina had no connection to her, because her aunt paid a late night visit on Wednesday.

Pat Houston showed up to spend time with her niece, who is now off meds after doctors made it clear there's no real hope for recovery.

As for the tent, it appears the facility constructed it to shield other patients and their families from the media.

Bobby Brown and his wife are either huge "Point Break" fans, or they're in touch with their inner Buddha -- because they've named their baby girl ... Bodhi.

TMZ obtained a copy of the birth certificate ... which lists her full name as ... Bodhi Jameson Rein Brown. The little girl was born last Thursday at Cedars-Sinai in Bev Hills.

We don't know for sure why Bobby and Alicia Etheredge picked the name Bodhi -- but in Buddhism the word refers to Buddha's enlightenment. More recently ... it was the name of Patrick Swayze's badass character.
