Family

Here's a really cool moment caught on video ... Impact wrestling star Tessa Blanchard FaceTimed her parents seconds after winning the Knockouts Championship -- and we've got the footage.

It all went down on Sunday at the Impact Wrestling tapings in Toronto (which airs August 30) ... where Tessa won a triple threat match against Allie and Su Yung for the belt.

Moments after the match, she called her step-father -- former NWA legend Magnum T.A. -- who couldn't have been more proud of Tessa, who he trained up over the years.

It's a pretty special moment.

23-year-old Tessa is wrestling royalty -- her biological father is Tully Blanchard, a WWE Hall of Famer, an original member of The Four Horsemen.

9:58 AM PT -- Our sources say doctors have informed Aretha's family today (Monday) is the day "Aretha will pass."

Aretha Franklin is gravely ill and friends and family are gathering for their final goodbye ... TMZ has confirmed.

A source very close to Aretha and a longtime dear friend tells TMZ he was told a week ago, "Prepare yourself, she's dying." The source adds Aretha was down to 86 pounds and her health was failing. The source says 2 weeks ago everyone in Aretha's circle was told "she could go any time."

Another source -- someone who has been close to Aretha for decades -- tells TMZ she has been battling cancer.

Franklin, who is 76, has been in poor health over the last few years. She has performed, but only on a limited basis ... most recently last November at an Elton John AIDS Foundation event.

The news that her health is failing first came from Roger Friedman over at Showbiz411, and WDIV TV in Detroit says Aretha's family confirmed she is gravely ill.

Story developing ...

Sylvester Stallone and his beautiful family were soaking up the sun in Baja California ... hitting another vacation hot spot during the Summer of Sly.

Sly and his daughter, Sistine, kicked off their Mexican beach vacay with a dip in the hot tub and some sunbathing in Cabo San Lucas. That's 20-year-old Sistine in the white bikini. As they say south of the border -- que linda!

The Stallones have been stamping their passports this summer ... looking hot on a yacht in the French Riviera.

Paris Jackson proves there's something heredity about singing, because she was awesome as grandma Katherine looked on.

Paris was performing at the Canyon Sessions Cancer Fundraiser in L.A., and gotta say, she sounds a little like Joni Mitchell ... and that's high praise.

What's especially interesting ... Katherine has been mostly MIA from the public for several years now, and a while back we reported she was living with one of her children and she had not seen her grandchildren in ages.

Paris posted this, "I can't believe my grandma made it to our second live show, and she actually liked it!?!!! I love you so much grandma."

It looks like they've reestablished ties. As you know, Katherine raised Paris and her brothers after Michael Jackson's death. Paris had it rough after her dad died, but she's rebounded spectacularly.

Wanna see Logan Paul throw fists at his brother, Jake Paul?? Well, better hope for a crappy Thanksgiving in the Paul household.

Logan tells TMZ Sports the ONLY way he'll step in the ring with his YouTube star little brother is if the two have "real-life" beef.

Judging by the way the two palled around when we got them at LAX this week ... don't bet on that happening any time soon.

It's too bad ... 'cause the two have been training like maniacs for their August 25 superfight with KSI and Deji -- so a Paul showdown would be must-see (YouTube) TV afterward.

Kanye West's new song says he's got "sick thoughts" ... and some of them involve all 4 of his sisters-in-law.

Ye released a brand new track Saturday morning on Twitter -- "XTCY" -- and along with obvious lyrics about ecstasy ... there's a very interesting line about wanting to bang Kim's sisters -- Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie.

West raps ... "You got sick thoughts? I got more of ’em / You got a sister-in-law you would smash? I got four of them." Then he says they need a bigger hot tub.

Kanye's been very open about his sexual fantasies this week, including talking to Jimmy Kimmel about what kind of porn he prefers ... which led to an offer to direct his own adult film.

Actress Erika Christensen gave birth to her second child ... but this time around there were no doctors ... just her hubby.

Little Polly was born at home Friday, because there was simply no time to get to the hospital. Erika's husband, Cole Maness, did the honors and delivered his child.

Erika says, "It happened! It happened this morning ... And it will go down in family history because baby girl’s own, incredible Dad delivered her all by himself."

The photo was taken minutes after Polly was born.

Kylie Jenner is no stranger to flowers or cash ... so clearly nothing makes more sense than to gift her a gigantic solo cup made of roses ... which comes with a hefty price tag.

Jenner showed off the creation from La Fleur Bouquets Thursday -- a 21st birthday gift she got from her friend, Yris. We're told the "Legal AF" solo cup was made with more than 1,000 real roses -- and comes in right around $5,000.

The arrangement was just one of several gifts Jenner got for her 21st, not to mention the gigantic party she threw at Delilah in West Hollywood ... with guest that included her fam, along with Bella Hadid, The Weeknd, Dave Chappelle and baby daddy Travis Scott.

Travis Scott can switch it up from beast mode to cuddly daddy mode pretty quick ... dancing with and kissing daughter Stormi in a new vid.

Kylie -- who turned 21 on Friday -- posted the quick clip of her baby daddy holding 6-month-old Stormi while one of the rapper's new tracks from his album, "Astroworld," plays in the background.

If Travis is feeling any aftereffects of Kylie's wild 21st birthday from Thursday night, he certainly isn't showing them ... even cracking a smile in the clip.

As we reported -- Kylie shut down Delilah in West Hollywood for her party -- an event with a ton of celebs and even a few ex-couple reunions.

Rapper Nate Dogg continues to earn money 7 years after his death and those funds are now being passed on to his close family.

It appears funds keep coming in from Nate Dogg's music and other ventures and, as it accumulates, it gets distributed.

According to new docs, obtained by TMZ, the money totals $225,000 in cash and here is how it's being divided.

His widow, LaToya Calvin, is getting $30,000.

His son, Naijiel Dwoyne Hale, is getting $11,666.

Nate Dogg has 7 other family members who are getting $8,333 each.

When he died back in 2011, he left no will and had around $200k in real estate. It appears the $225k is from his music catalog.

The rapper was 41 when he died in Long Beach, CA.

Kylie Jenner can legally drink -- and she's a billionaire -- which are 2 good reasons why there were 2 insane parties Thursday night that not only brought out the Kardashian brood in full force, but reunited Scott with Kourtney and Caitlyn with Kris ... at least for one night.

You gotta see the video. Hoards of photogs pounced on Craig's in WeHo Thursday night, as Kris, Kim, Kanye, Kendall, Kourtney, Scott and Khloe made their way in.

Caitlyn, who has been estranged from most of her former fam, made a rare appearance ... partly because she still has a relationship with Kylie.

It was more than a family birthday celebration ... Dave Chappelle, Chandler Parsons, Kevin Durant, Paloma Ford, Meek Mill, Chris Brown and French Montana were on hand for the bash. Bella Hadid and The Weeknd were also there together.

It didn't end at Craig's. The party moved to Delilah, where everyone cut loose. Chappelle grabbed a mic and sang, "Killing Me Softly."

There's nothing in this world that can stop Kanye West from watching porn ... not even his 2 daughters or his smoking hot wife.

Kanye made no bones about it ... Ye proudly revealed on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' that he still watches X-rated films.

Kanye's favorite XXX category? "A lot of black on white, obviously." Sounds like Ye can't get enough of Kim Kardashian West ... in the bedroom or in his fantasies.

Ye has been a father for five years, but it doesn't sound like North West or Chicago West will ever be able to stop their daddy from cranking one out to some good, old-fashioned porno.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are at war in their divorce case, but the more immediate struggle is the co-parenting situation that even has a judge issuing a warning to cool it ... or else.

We're told Brad has been spending the bulk of his Summer in England -- where Angelina and the kids live -- so he can see his 6 children. The judge in the divorce case set out a schedule for Brad to visit with his children in London beginning in mid-June for 10 hours a day. The visitation increased last month to 4 consecutive days at a time.

Our sources say Brad and Angelina never interact with each other, and the handoffs are always through nannies and assistants.

It's clear there have been issues over Brad interacting with the kids. The judge in the divorce case already issued an order saying Angelina tried to restrict Brad's access that the judge believed was "harmful" to the children. The judge even said Brad had a right to call and text the kids whenever he wanted, and Angelina could not monitor the contacts.

TMZ broke the stories about Angelina claiming Brad has only provided minimal child support, and Brad fired back in legal docs that he's paid her $1.3 mil in child support since they split nearly 2 years ago ... and he loaned her $8 million to buy a house.

From what we're told, things are getting worse, not better, between the two.

Kourtney Kardashian didn't have to go over the river and through the woods to get to her grandmother's house, and wasn't looking back at Younes Bendjima either.

Kourt was spotted visiting her nana, Mary Jo Campbell in Calabasas Wednesday -- where the Kardashian klan relocated the family matriarch from her old home in La Jolla. As you can tell, Kourtney seems to know her way around the crib ... gate code included.

She's clearly not thinking about her now-ex, Younes, on the heels of their split -- and why should she? There's grandma-made cookies to be eaten and stories to be heard.

Brad Pitt's lawyers aren't mincing words ... they say Angelina Jolie is a master manipulator and a liar by essentially claiming he's a deadbeat dad, because they say he's forked over more than $9 MILLION over the last 2 years.

Brad's lawyers have responded to Angelina's latest attack where she claimed in legal docs he hasn't paid "meaningful child support" since their split in September 2016.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Brad fires back ... he loaned her $8 million so she could buy the home in which she currently lives, and shelled out more than $1.3 million in child support.

Brad's lawyers say Angelina and her lawyers have engaged in dirty tricks, calling them out for "a thinly-veiled effort to manipulate media coverage." Brad's lawyers point to Angelina's legal docs that were filed earlier this week, in which she asks the judge to grant the divorce quickly so she can be a single woman again ... leaving child support and other issues for a later date.

The attorneys for Brad are calling BS, saying THEY were the ones who called Angelina's lawyers last week asking for exactly that ... to grant the divorce decree quickly and then later deal with child support and property settlement issues. They say her lawyers said they'd discuss the matter with their client, and then Angelina made it look like it was SHE who wanted the quickie divorce.

The docs accuse Angelina of filing papers with the court that are "calculated to increase the conflict." They say her gripe over child support is bogus and she knows it.

Shots fired back.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West will be so chill through the dog days of summer, thanks to their brand new pool ... which is really more like a small inland sea.

According to building permits, obtained by TMZ, Kim and Kanye got the go-ahead from the city of Hidden Hills last month to install an enormous in-ground pool at their roughly $60 million estate. As you can see from this pic in June ... they got a little head start on construction.

Kimye's big dig is 20' wide by 60 feet long! FYI, we normal humans average pools around 20 feet wide by 30 feet long.

The construction work is valued at a little over $50k, but they're almost guaranteed to spend more than that to get it done. It's unclear how close they are to completion, but August in that neck of woods is legendarily SMOKING HOT!

You'll recall ... the couple was originally talking about putting in something that really would have been more lake-like. They might have downsized a little, but we're guessing this will still challenge Drake's pool ... which he bragged about in "Summer Sixteen."

The Wests also got approval to build a new guard shack, valued at almost $12k. Gotta keep neighborhood riff-raff outta that pool!
