Family

Caitlyn Jenner wasn't trying to fire shots at Kim Kardashian when she said the mogul "calculated" her way to fame -- in fact, her comments were part of a bigger convo, where she spoke proudly of Kim.

Here's the deal, Caitlyn's featured in the trailer for the upcoming docuseries, "House of Kardashian," which dives deep into the family's rise to fame. In the first look, which came out last week, Caitlyn says, "Kimberly calculated from the beginning, 'How do I become famous?'"

While it seemed like a dig, sources close to Caitlyn tell TMZ ... her use of the word "calculated" wasn't the best choice, but it's already been relayed to Kim she didn't mean it as a diss.

We're told the explanation given to Kim, after the trailer dropped, was that Cait's words were edited to come off more controversial than they actually were... it's a promo, after all.

One source added, Caitlyn's proud of Kim, and thinks what was shown in the 40-second clip isn't reflective of her actual intentions when she sat down to discuss her ex-wife and children.

Caitlyn was only a contributor on the Sky-produced series, so she has no creative control over what makes it into the final edit from her interview ... but we're told she agreed to talk with producers, intending to be a positive voice to defend her family's legacy.

Caitlyn Jenner no estaba tratando de disparar contra Kim Kardashian cuando dijo que la magnate "calculó" su camino a la fama. De hecho, sus comentarios fueron parte de una conversación más grande, donde habló con orgullo de Kim.

Caitlyn aparece en el trailer de la próxima docuserie, "House of Kardashian", que se sumerge en el ascenso a la fama de la familia. En el adelanto que salió a la luz la semana pasada, Caitlyn aparece diciendo: "Kimberly calculó desde el principio: "¿Cómo me hago famosa?"".

Aunque parecía una indirecta, fuentes cercanas a Caitlyn dicen a TMZ el uso de la palabra "calculado" no fue la mejor opción, pero ya le transmitió a Kim que no quiso criticarla.

Nos dicen que la explicación que le dio a Kim, después de que el trailer fue liberado, es que sus palabras fueron editados para que sonaran más controvertidas de lo que realmente eran. Se trata de una promoción, después de todo.

Una fuente añadió, que Caitlyn está orgullosa de Kim y piensa que el clip de 40 segundos no refleja realmente lo que quiso decir cuando se sentó a hablar de su ex esposa e hijos.

Caitlyn solo fue una colaboradora en la serie producida por Sky, por lo que no tiene control creativo sobre la edición final de su entrevista, pero nos dicen que accedió a hablar con los productores, con la intención de ser una voz positiva para defender el legado de su familia.

Tristan Thompson has been granted temporary guardianship over his little brother after he was left unable to care for himself following the sudden death of his mother.

A court hearing Wednesday determined the NBA player will now act as guardian to 17-year-old Amari. In the end, Tristan's petition for temporary guardianship was granted ... and a hearing on permanent guardianship was scheduled for November.

Tristan wasn't present in court during the hearing, but his attorney spoke on his behalf via Zoom.

TMZ broke the story ... Tristan filed for this a couple weeks ago, and the result today was expected. Nobody was contesting it, including Amari's father -- who Tristan says has been absent from his life.

Amari's dad, Trevor Douglas Thompson, did not receive notice of Wednesday's proceeding because his whereabouts are apparently unknown. Tristan's side claims Trevor has no involvement in Amari's life.

Now that Tristan has been given the green light to take responsibility for Amari, the issue of conservatorship is also on the table as he approaches 18. Amari cannot take care of himself, as he faces mental and physical disabilities, so Tristan is stepping in.

TMZ broke the story -- Tristan's mother, Andrea, died suddenly earlier this year -- which is why Tristan is making the moves to protect his brother. Amari has already been introduced to the KarJenners -- and Tristan will presumably continue to have their support through this.

The last thing that was touched on was money left behind in Andrea's probate estate -- which amounts to about $103k. It's not available for disbursement yet, but Tristan is going to oversee that cash for Amari as well.

Some of the biggest names in hip hop have welcomed some pretty cute kiddos to the world over the years ... but can ya guess which rap icons conceived these tykes??

This lil' dude was born in 2021 to a duo of famous, bar-spitting parents -- who actually just took him to Disneyland to celebrate his 2nd birthday.

When mom and dad aren't bickerin' online, they're getting nasty backstage at an award show! Whose cash-counting baby do you think this is?

Here's another kiddo whose mama needs no introduction -- born in 2020, the child was given quite an interesting name ... one that must've made Goldilocks do a double take.

His rapping mother has won a total of more than 400 awards in her career since she was signed in 2009. So we gotta ask -- who is this super baby?

Quavo stormed Capitol Hill Wednesday morning on behalf of his Rocket Foundation, and he arrived with the clear-cut agenda of tackling gun violence ... TMZ Hip Hop has learned.

The ex-Migos frontman was joined by his mother and his older sister, Takeoff's mother, as part of the 52nd Annual Legislative Conference.

Quavo met with House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senator Cory Booker, Representatives Lucy McBath, Steven Horsford, Lisa Blunt Rochester, Robin Kelly, Maxwell Frost and community organizer Greg Jackson to voice his complaints.

Quavo's Rocket Foundation was established to bring awareness for gun violence prevention on both a state and federal level.

Several of the Congress members have an active "Break the Cycle of Violence Act" campaign, and we're told all parties were working Wednesday on viable solutions in a closed-door meeting.

Takeoff was shot and killed in November 2022, and Quavo hasn't stopped honoring his legacy.

Algunos de los nombres más grandes en el hip hop han dado la bienvenida a algunos niños bastante lindos al mundo a lo largo de los años, pero ¿puedes adivinar qué iconos del rap son estos pequeñines a continuación?

Este pequeñín nació en 2021 de un dúo de padres famosos, que acaban de llevarlo a Disneylandia para celebrar su segundo cumpleaños.

Cuando mamá y papá no están discutiendo en la red, ¡se ponen cachondos entre bastidores en una entrega de premios! ¿De quién crees que es este bebé?

Aquí hay otro kiddo cuya mamá no necesita presentación - nacido en 2020, el niño se le dio un nombre bastante interesante ... uno que debe haber hecho Ricitos de Oro hacer una doble toma.

Su madre rapera ha ganado un total de más de 400 premios en su carrera desde que fue fichada en 2009. Así que tenemos que preguntar - ¿quién es este súper bebé?

Young Nudy's one of the hottest rappers in Atlanta at the moment -- something Killer Mike can attest to after having trouble tracking him down for a feature.

Mike eventually got the song done -- their "Act Up" collab anchors the new deluxe edition of the "Michael" album -- but admits during a recent interview he had to go through Nudy's mother to make it happen!!!

Nudy and Mike are 18 years apart and Mike acknowledged their schedules -- like their respective generations -- couldn't be more different.

But, after exhausting all options of reaching him, Mike says he learned he actually knew Nudy's mother from school, and after he caught up with her, she promptly instructed her son to record the track.

Added bonus ... she told Nudy not to charge Mike one red cent for the feature!!!

The song arrived last week as one of 4 new cuts from the "Michael (Deluxe)."

Quavo irrumpió en el Capitol Hill este miércoles por la mañana, en representación de su Fundación Rocket, y llegó con el propósito claro de hacer frente a la violencia por armas de fuego, según ha indagado TMZ Hip Hop.

El ex frontman de Migos fue acompañado por su madre, su hermana mayor y la madre de Takeoff, como parte de la 52ª Conferencia Legislativa Anual.

Quavo se reunió con el líder demócrata de la Cámara de Representantes, Hakeem Jeffries, el senador Cory Booker, los representantes Nikema Williams, Steven Horsford, Lisa Blunt Rochester, Robin Kelly, Maxwell Frost y el organizador comunitario Greg Jackson para expresar sus quejas.

La Fundación Rocket de Quavo se creó con el fin de generar conciencia sobre prevención de la violencia armada, tanto a nivel estatal como federal.

Varios de los congresistas han sido activos en la campaña "Break the Cycle of Violence Act", y nos cuentan que todas las partes estuvieron trabajando en soluciones viables, en una reunión a puerta cerrada este miércoles.

Takeoff fue asesinado a tiros en noviembre de 2022, y Quavo no ha dejado de honrar su legado.

Jason Kelce is revisiting the rumors surrounding his brother's potential love story ... saying he fully believes Travis and Taylor Swift are, in fact, dating.

But, you need to calm down, Swifties -- it was clearly a joke.

The Eagles star was asked once again about recent reports of Travis and Taylor "quietly hanging out" during his appearance on Audacy's SportsRadio 94 WIP Wednesday morning ... and while he claimed he doesn't keep up with the Chiefs tight end's relationship status, he then threw fuel into the speculation fire.

"It's hard to answer because I don't really know a lot about Travis' love life," Jason said. "I try to keep his business kind of his business, stay out of that world. But, having said that, I think he's doing great and I think it's all 100% percent true."

Jason quickly followed up by couching the whole thing ... admitting he had no idea what was going on between the two, if anything at all.

Jason's comments ARE pretty interesting, though -- one would think if Travis and Taylor were really dating, he'd probably tell his bro he should've said no to talking about it, right??

Another theory -- Traylor (that's what we'd call them if they were indeed a couple) are just casual and don't really care who knows ... so Jason addressing it wouldn't really matter.

Interesting note -- Jason said he was "blindsided" by Tony Gonzalez's question on Thursday Night Football last week ... which was the first time anyone near Travis ever addressed the rumors.

"Dancing with the Stars" is pulling out all the stops for Jamie Lynn Spears ... giving the actress and mom some special treatment in order to get her on the show's upcoming season.

Sources close to production tell TMZ ... the team has gone above and beyond for Jamie Lynn to make rehearsing a breeze -- she's currently practicing at a studio near her home in Tennessee to accommodate the fact she's the mother of 2.

As you know, Britney Spears' kid sis has 5-year-old Ivey and 15-year-old Maddie, and we're told she's a very hands-on mom -- so the local practices are a huge help for her.

For reference, almost all the other contestants appear to be practicing at a studio in Los Angeles -- so, the fact they're making an exception for Jamie Lynn seems to be a sign of how badly 'DWTS' wanted her.

We're told her dance partner, Alan Bersten, has been at the Tennessee studio, flying back and forth for practices.

'Real Housewives' star Teresa Giudice got the same deal last season when she was able to train in New Jersey to stay close to her daughters and new husband, Luis Ruelas.

We were told Teresa had to fly to L.A. a day or 2 before each performance ... so we're assuming Jamie Lynn will be on a similar travel schedule.

Do you think Jamie Lynn Spears is a better dancer than her sister Britney? Vote below.

Jason Kelce está revisando los rumores que rodean la historia de amor potencial de su hermano, diciendo que cree plenamente que Travis y Taylor Swift están saliendo.

Pero tranquilos Swifties... claramente era una broma.

Le preguntamos a la estrella de los Eagles una vez más acerca de los recientes informes de que Travis y Taylor estaban saliendo durante su aparición en SportsRadio 94 WIP de Audacy el miércoles por la mañana ... y mientras afirmaba que no se mantiene al día con el estado de la relación del ala cerrada de los Chiefs, luego echó leña al fuego de la especulación.

"Es difícil responder porque realmente no sé mucho sobre la vida amorosa de Travis", dijo Jason. "Intento mantener sus asuntos más o menos en su terreno, mantenerme al margen de ese mundo. Pero, dicho esto, creo que lo está haciendo muy bien y creo que todo es 100% verdad".

Jason rápidamente le dio vuelta al asunto admitiendo que no tenía ni idea de lo que estaba pasando entre los dos. Nada en absoluto.

Los comentarios de Jason son bastante interesantes, sin embargo uno pensaría que si Travis y Taylor estaban realmente saliendo probablemente le diría a su hermano que no debería hablar de ello ¿verdad?

Aquí va otra teoría: Traylor (así es como los llamaríamos si realmente fueran pareja) son sólo casuales y realmente no les importa quién lo sepa, por lo que Jason hablando de ello realmente no sería importante.

Nota interesante: Jason dijo que estaba "sorprendido" por la pregunta de Tony González en Thursday Night Football la semana pasada ya que fue la primera vez que alguien cercano a Travis se refirió a los rumores.

"Dancing with the Stars" está haciendo todo lo que está a su alcance por Jamie Lynn Spears, ya que la actriz y madre ha recibido un tratamiento especial para conseguir que ella esté en la próxima temporada del programa.

Fuentes cercanas a la producción dicen a TMZ, que el equipo ha hecho de todo para que Jamie Lynn pueda hacer sus ensayos, de hecho, actualmente está practicando en un estudio cerca de su casa en Tennessee para balancear el baile con su rol de madre de 2.

Como saben, la hermana pequeña de Britney Spears tiene a Ivey, de 5 años, y a Maddie, de 15, y nos han dicho que le gusta dedicarle tiempo especial a sus hijos, por lo que los entrenamientos cerca de casa son una gran ayuda para ella.

Como referencia, casi todos los demás concursantes parecen estar practicando en un estudio en Los Ángeles. El hecho de que estén haciendo una excepción para Jamie Lynn parece ser una señal de lo mucho que 'Dancing with The Stars' la quería.

Nos han dicho también que su pareja de baile, Alan Bersten, ha estado en el estudio de Tennessee con ella, preparándose a toda prisa para las prácticas.

La estrella de 'Real Housewives', Teresa Giudice, consiguió el mismo trato la temporada pasada cuando la dejaron practicar en Nueva Jersey para estar cerca de sus hijas y su nuevo marido, Luis Ruelas.

Blueface's bringing all the drama in his life back to his music ... returning shots at Lil Baby, and pissing off one baby mama by cozying up to another -- basically, all the markers of a potential hit!!!

On the Cali rapper's new joint, the appropriately titled "Baby Momma Drama," Blueface rips Lil Baby with disrespectful bars for always being so chummy with Michael Rubin ...  "Lil Baby thought he knew me/How you let another grown man feel up on your booty?/Couldn’t be me, boy, I am not a hoochie/You n****s really industry/I am really in the streets."

Blue also addressed the recent attack on his life after refusing to talk to cops ... "Socked a n**** last week and he stabbed me" -- proving rappers save the gory details to boost the credibility of their lyrics!!!

Back to Lil Baby, he and Blue exchanged unpleasantries earlier in the year after Baby seemingly tried to swoop Chrisean Rock on the low, and apparently, their beef isn't cooked yet.

Chrisean and their newborn son Chrisean Jr. are featured throughout the Moti & Midas-directed clip ... putting a lid on their pre-birth blowout from a few weeks ago.

The family bonding was the perfect recipe to piss off Blue's other baby mama Jaidyn Alexis, who claims she ripped up her "Milf Music" recording contract after seeing Chrisean sign hers ... a moment captured in the music video.

Fans think Jaidyn's capping -- she's been a rapping homemaker all summer.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are doting new parents once again -- proudly showing off their latest bundle of joy to the world ... with one of the cutest photo shoots ever.

The musical power couple -- who just welcomed their latest son, Riot Rose, in August -- posed for some incredible shots at home ... with both the new 1-month-old baby, and their other kiddo, RZA.

We gotta say, the Mayers look super happy and gotta be one of the best-looking crews in all of Hollywood.

Mama and Papa Bear definitely took a similar fashion theme. RiRi is sporting a royal-blue look -- with the denim button-down -- and dad's got a pair of jeans on ... with a splashy green flannel to bring it all together.

Young RZA was also wearing jeans, BTW ... his whole getup is honestly freaking adorable.

As for Riot ... let's just say he's giving his big bro a run for his money in the cuteness department. The proud parents had him swaddled up in a blanket -- but underneath, the baby was decked out in a salmon-colored onesie.

Also worth noting, this is the first time we're seeing Rihanna since she popped. It probably goes without saying -- but she's looking damn good.

Rihanna y A$AP Rocky son unos padres muy cariñosos, y esta vez decidieron compartir con el mundo a su pequeño bebé, en una de las sesiones de fotos más lindas.

La pareja musical, que acaba de dar la bienvenida a su segunda hija Riot Rose en agosto, posó para realizar unas increíbles fotos en casa, tanto con el nuevo bebé de 1 mes de edad, como con su otro pequeño, RZA.

Tenemos que decir que los Mayers se ven súper felices y, sin duda son unas de las familias más guapas de todo Hollywood.

Mamá y papá oso decidieron adoptar un tema similar para sus atuendos. RiRi luce un look azul como de la realeza, con una camisa vaquera abotonada, y papá lleva un par de jeans con una franela verde para combinar todo el conjunto.

El pequeño RZA también llevaba jeans, y no puede ver más adorable.

En cuanto a Riot, digamos que le está haciendo difícil a su hermano mayor ganar el concurso al más tierno. Los orgullosos padres la tenían envuelta en una manta, pero debajo estaba ataviada con un body de color salmón.

Esta es la primera vez que vemos a Rihanna desde que dio a luz a su hijo. Probablemente no haga falta decirlo, pero ella se ve increíblemente bien.

Emmy-winning soap star Billy Miller "surrendered his life" after a long and valiant battle with bipolar depression, according to his mom. Although she didn't use the word "suicide," it's clear he took his own life.

Patricia Miller revealed her son's personal struggle with the mental disorder and thanked his friends and fans for their well wishes after he passed away in Austin, Texas, last week.

Patricia said Billy did everything in his power to control the disease, but, in the end, it got the best of him, and he "surrendered his life," stopping short of giving a specific cause of death.

She ended by saying "we all loved him so much and are desperately trying to deal with our loss."

During his acting career, Billy played the role of Billy Abbott in The Young and the Restless, winning three Emmy Awards for his portrayal of the character. He also appeared in General Hospital and All My Children.

Billy was 43.

RIP
