Family

Rihanna's third wheeling it back home, but couldn't look happier about it because she's hanging with Mom and Dad -- a rare sighting of the fam together.

RiRi's grinning in the shot with her mother, Monica, and father, Ronald. We don't know exactly what's behind the reunion, but she captioned the shot, "home" -- so, we're guessing she's in Barbados.

That she posted this pic is huge. Remember, Rihanna had a fractured relationship with her father ... telling Oprah in 2012 she had to make peace with her abusive father before she could forgive Chris Brown for assaulting her in 2009.

Rihanna said she struggled with the fact her dad was loving to her, but physically abused her mom. Seems the whole family is on the mend.

Eddie Murphy is about to have enough kids to play a regulation basketball game at family gatherings -- his gf is pregnant with his TENTH child!

Paige Butcher was showing off her baby bump Monday in L.A., and looking pretty damn hot while doing it. The form-fitting pink dress and jean jacket scream MILF alert ... even in casual flip-flops.

Eddie and the Australian actress are expecting their 2nd kid together in December ... but the little one will put Ed in double digits overall.

His first 8 bundles were with Nicole Murphy, Mel B, Tamara Hood and Paulette McNeely, and his oldest kid is pushing 30. Guess he'll have no problem finding a sitter.

There's nothing good going on with Jenelle Evans and her exes.

Nathan Griffith -- Jenelle's 2nd baby daddy -- says the "Teen Mom 2" star is purposely keeping their son away from him ... and it's driving Dad crazy.

Nathan just wants to spend time with their 4-year-old son, Kaiser, but he claims Jenelle is using phony excuses to stop Nathan from seeing his boy.

He says Jenelle has been giving him the runaround ever since she was cleared of criminal wrongdoing in a child abuse investigation -- which was triggered by Nathan going to police.

Nathan says he doesn't even know where Kaiser is on any given day, 'cause Jenelle doesn't keep him informed ... and he's just about had it with her antics.

Talk about baby mama drama.

As for Jenelle's other ex ... Courtland Keith Rogers was busted over the weekend in North Carolina and accused of assaulting a woman.

If Ray J had one wish, it might be for a private plane that actually works.

Another week, another emergency landing for a private jet carrying celebs … this time, Ray J and Princess Love had their travel plans grounded.

Ray J, Princess and their baby, Melody, were traveling Monday from Los Angeles to New York when their flight had to return to Van Nuys Airport after a cabin pressure issue forced an emergency landing!!!

Check the video, it's a hectic scene onboard ... with ominous sounds and prayers for a safe landing.

You’ll recall … Post Malone and his team made an emergency landing last week when the crew’s private jet blew 2 tires during takeoff.

We’re told Ray J and co. are determined to make it to NYC … and they’re working on securing a backup plane within the hour.

Second time's the charm?

There's nothing like your first trip to Disneyland -- the rides, the Mickey ears, the smell of fresh churros -- and Jimmy Kimmel and his son soaked it all up for little Billy's first day in the Magic Kingdom.

Jimmy and his wife Molly took their kids, Billy and Jane down to Anaheim and it had to be a pretty moving day for the fam. Remember, 1-year-old Billy was born with a heart condition that required lifesaving open-heart surgery.

The Kimmels hopped between both parks -- Disneyland and California Adventure -- hitting the carousel, water rides, and also enjoying one GIANT lollipop.

John McCain -- a former Vietnam prisoner of war, 6-term U.S. Senator from Arizona and 2008 GOP Presidential nominee who battled an aggressive form of brain cancer in the latter part of his storied career -- has died ... TMZ has learned.

According to a statement from McCain's office, he died Saturday at 4:28 PM, adding ... "With the Senator when he passed were his wife Cindy and their family. At his death, he had served the United States of America faithfully for sixty years.”

The news comes not long after McCain made the decision to stop medical treatment after a year-long battle with brain cancer. As we reported ... McCain's family said age was a factor in John's decision to cease treatment. Fact is ... he had surpassed expectations for survival.

The decorated politician's family said they are "immensely grateful for the support and kindness of all his caregivers over the last year, and for the continuing outpouring of concern and affection from John's many friends and associates, and the many thousands of people who are keeping him in their prayers."

McCain was diagnosed with glioblastoma back in July 2017 ... the same type of cancer that took the life of Senator Ted Kennedy back in 2009. McCain took some time off to fight the disease but continued chairing the influential Senate Armed Services Committee.

Most notably, he returned just a week after his brain cancer diagnosis to cast the deciding vote that killed President Trump's attempt to repeal Obamacare. The vote came as a huge surprise, to say the least, and added another wrinkle to the testy relationship he had with Trump. McCain said he did NOT want Trump attending his funeral.

McCain was a respected leader in the Senate, despite being labeled a maverick ... someone who broke from Republican ranks when he felt principle was more important than party.

Trump mocked McCain during his presidential campaign for being a prisoner of war ... saying he liked war heroes who were not captured. McCain -- a Naval Academy graduate who took tremendous pride in his "maverick" label -- was captured in October 1967 after his bomber was hit by a missile.

The force of the ejection was so violent, McCain broke his right leg and both arms. McCain was held in a prison camp where he said he was beaten every 2 or 3 hours by guards over the course of several days.

McCain was finally released on March 14, 1973 but the effects of the crash and torture were evident in his everyday life from that day forward ... with a visible limp when he walked and his inability to raise either arm above his shoulders.

McCain -- born on on August 29, 1936 in the Panama Canal -- served in the Navy until 1981 and quickly dove into politics. He was elected to Congress in 1982 and the Senate in 1986.

McCain ran twice for President. He lost to then-Texas governor George W. Bush in the 2000 primaries but won the Republican nomination back in 2008 ... with Sarah Palin as his running mate. The pair ultimately lost to Barack Obama and Joe Biden. McCain later said he regretted picking Palin.

McCain is survived by Cindy, his wife of 38 years, and his 5 children -- Meghan, John, James, Bridget and Sidney.

He was 81. RIP

A super slim Christian Bale and his family got their amusement park on ... but nobody was more amused than the woman who finally saw her "love" in real life.

Christian, his wife and kids were getting off the Storybook Land Canal Boats at Disneyland Friday when a fangirl spotted "The Dark Knight" actor and had a mini freakout ... see, it really is the happiest place on Earth.

As we reported ... Bale's back in thin body form, which we saw last month when he was on vacay with his family in Italy.

His current look is a far cry from how he looked last year ... when he bulked up and buzzed his hair to channel Dick Cheney for the upcoming biopic "Backseat." Pretty drastic transformation ... but we all know it's kind of Christian's thing.

And, we have a feeling no matter how he looks ... his Disneyland fan would still love him.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have settled their divorce case and the final settlement will be filed with the court after Ben gets out of rehab ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected with the couple tell TMZ, Ben and Jen have reached a property settlement, which was complicated and time-consuming because of the fortune that needed to be divided. We've learned the couple did NOT have a prenup, so all of their earnings during their 12-year marriage went into one pot.

As for custody ... we've learned they agreed to joint custody of their 3 children. What's a little unusual ... the settlement does not say how much custodial time Ben and Jen each get. We're told they have gotten along great co-parenting the kids, and feel it's better to shift custody back and forth depending on work schedules rather than abide by a rigid formula.

The wild card in all of this ... Ben's drinking. Our sources say Ben has fallen off the wagon for the last 18 months ... sometimes regaining sobriety only to slip again. It's obviously an issue because when Ben isn't sober it could put the children at risk when he's with them. It's something Ben and Jen have been dealing with for months.

The settlement is complete, but it hasn't been signed because of sobriety issues. However, we're told when Ben is out of rehab and back on his feet it will be signed, sealed and delivered to the judge, and then the divorce will become final.

As for reconciliation ... we're told absolutely not, and it's been that way for a long, long time.

Ben Affleck has had a rough time, and not just for a few weeks or months ... and the only thing that has spared him from a complete crash and burn is his children.

Sources directly connected to Ben tell us he has been fighting a losing battle with booze for 18 months. He's had periods of sobriety and then lapsed back deep into the bottle. TMZ broke the story ... it came to a head Wednesday when Jennifer Garner staged an intervention and drove him to a rehab facility.

We're told when Ben has been at his lowest over the last 18 months -- and there have been multiple times during that period when he hit bottom -- it seemed hopeless, and the only way he was able to pull himself out of the spiral was the love for his children and the realization of the consequences if something truly tragic happened to him.

Ben has had sporadic contact with the kids. Jen has been careful to protect the 3 children when Ben was in free fall, so there were periods when he regularly saw children and periods when he didn't.

The sad story ... his alcohol issues have consumed his life for the last year and a half, but hopefully this stint in rehab will get him back on track.

Kimberly Guilfoyle was once married to a major Democratic politician and now she's hooked up with a Trump ... so which party is more entertaining at a party?

We got the former FOX News anchor -- and Donald Trump Jr.'s gf -- in NYC Friday ... and it was all table talk. You may remember, she was once married to then-San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, who's now the Democratic nominee for California Governor.

She used to spend Thanksgiving with some major Dems, including San Francisco Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, and that's why we wanted to dish on which family is the funnest when it comes to breaking bread.

Kimberly's answer -- well ... no surprise, it's political.

As for Kimberly and Trump Jr. ... the two have been tight lately, posing for Metropolitan Magazine. Kimberly got this month's cover.

We're told Guilfoyle was draped in close to $1 million in jewelry for the shoot, provided by jeweler David Birnbaum of Rare 1.

If you're wondering how Kendall Jenner gets her kicks ... well, we just might have your answer.

Kendall channels her inner Bruce Lee as she karate kicks an empty glass bottle off the top of a friend's head ... talk about flexibility!!!

The ninja move went down Thursday night on the beaches of Los Angeles ... and you have to give dude props for standing tall and letting Kendall take a crack at his head.

Kendall gets mobbed by her pals after pulling off the daring move ... 'cause it's all fun and games when no one gets kicked in the face!!!

Looks like Kendall might have a future in kung fu movies.

Ben Affleck wanted to get back on the sober train -- badly -- days before his estranged wife staged an intervention and drove him to a rehab facility ... TMZ has learned.

Turns out, Ben had been attending wellness classes at a Los Angeles wellness center as recently as a week before checking into a live-in facility.

The center specializes in "Buddhist ethics" ... meaning meditation with a focus on a healthy body, mind and spirit. Our sources say Ben went on his own accord several times last week ... well aware he had fallen off the wagon and into a downward spiral.

We broke the story ... Ben's estranged wife, Jennifer Garner, staged an intervention Wednesday at his Pacific Palisades home and drove him to an L.A. County rehab facility where he will live for at least 30 days. We're told Ben didn't need much convincing because he knew he was in desperate straits.

We're told the trigger for Jen was on Monday, when she saw this pic (below) of Ben accepting delivery of a box full of beer and hard liquor.

The actor has been open about his struggles with sobriety over the years. After Ben completed his second stint at a rehab facility last year, he said, "I want to live life to the fullest and be the best father I can be. I want my kids to know there is no shame in getting help when you need it, and to be a source of strength for anyone out there who needs help but is afraid to take the first step."

He continued, "I'm lucky to have the love of my family and friends, including my co-parent, Jen, who has supported me and cared for our kids as I've done the work I set out to do."

Here's the reality ... most addicts relapse. It doesn't mean they can't eventually stay sober, but it's a long, difficult road and falling off the wagon is not necessarily game over. The most important thing ... it's clear Ben realized he had a problem and sought help, even before Jen staged the intervention.

Mike Trout is opening up on the passing of his brother-in-law ... saying, "You brought so much happiness and joy to my life every time I was with you."

The best player in baseball stepped away from the Angels a week and a half ago to mourn the loss of his wife's 24-year-old brother, Aaron Cox -- who was a former baseball player himself.

No details on the death have been given ... but Trout's message Thursday emphasized how much Aaron meant to the two-time MVP.

"Aaron, words can’t describe the emotions that I’ve been feeling the past week and a half. You were more than just my brother-in-law... you were my best friend," Trout wrote.

"You made such an impact on my life since the day I first met you. You were an amazing person inside & out that showed us all how to live life to the fullest. Seeing and hearing about your impact on other people are all things that made me a better person every single day."

Trout says the two shared plenty of memories together ... including hunting, golfing and fishing trips.

"You were a great kid and it kills me to know that you are gone... I can’t thank you enough for what you have meant to me over these last 11 years. I know you will be watching over me now that you are gone, I promise to take care of your sister and watch over your whole family."

"Heaven got a great one and I know I will see you again someday... I love you bro!!!!"

Is that Gina Gershon or Melania Trump???

Gina gave us a spot-on impression of the First Lady in NYC Tuesday during a preview of The 1st Annual Trump Family Special.

And, you gotta see the video!!!

Not only does Gina LOOK like Melania, she's also nailed the accent ... and it seems she's totally channeled into the mind of Donald Trump's 3rd wife.

Melania, excuse us, Gina expects YUGE ratings for the special -- a satirical musical comedy playing Thursday nights at the Triad Theatre beginning September 13 and running through December 6.

Gina is truly a Trumper ... 'cause she takes shots at the fake news media.

Gina has played Melania before -- on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" -- and she seems completely at ease in the role.

8/23 -- The photo above is Affleck at Jack in the Box, where he stopped before arriving at the rehab center.

8/22 7:20 PM PT -- We've learned Ben has arrived at a live-in rehab facility and will check in for an extended period of time.

Jennifer Garner has staged an intervention to help Ben Affleck, and TMZ has learned Ben wanted the help and agreed to go to rehab.

Jennifer went to Ben's Pacific Palisades home Wednesday afternoon to sit down with her estranged husband, begging him to get help. We've learned Ben didn't need begging ... he knows he needs help and was receptive.

Jen and Ben drove off at around 6 PM PT from the house ... and sources say the destination is a rehab facility. Our sources say Ben will enter a facility in L.A. County. We just found out they stopped at a Jack in the Box en route to the rehab place.

We're told Ben fell off the wagon a while ago, and has gotten progressively worse.

Our sources say the tipping point came 2 days ago when Jen saw a pic of Ben grabbing a box from a delivery man ... a box filled with beer and liquor.

Ben has been to rehab before ... back in 2001 for alcohol abuse. He also went back to rehab last December.

Jen filed for divorce in April, 2017 ... 2 years after they announced their split. The former couple remained close -- partly for their 3 kids -- and they are still not officially divorced.

Ben showed signs of excessive drinking when he took his date Playboy Playmate Shauna Sexton to Nobu in Malibu last week. His face was blotchy and he looked disheveled.

Kathy Hilton says her daughter pushing back her wedding date is no cause for alarm ... and guess what -- when it goes down it ain't happening at a Hilton.

We got Paris' mom at LAX Wednesday afternoon ... she tells us Paris has been swamped promoting her new fragrance and skincare line, so she's got no time at all right now to tie the knot with Chris Zylka.

Kathy assures us she was with the couple recently and all's well -- no cold feet or prenup issues. Then again ... we're still not entirely sure Kathy knows what a prenuptial agreement is all about.

As we reported ... Paris and Chris got engaged at the beginning of the year, when he put a monstrous $2 million ring on her finger.

The couple's been open about some of their wedding plans -- including Chris revealing they have a prenup ... and Paris telling us who is and isn't on her guest list.

According to Kathy, whoever makes the final cut is just going to have to wait for the official invite ... when Paris gets more free time.
