Natalie "Nadya" Suleman, best known as "Octomom," says Child Protective Services basically set up camp at her home in the early days after she brought home the octuplets ... showing up at least once a week, yet never knocked her parenting.

Natalie -- who's going by her birth name now, instead of Nadya -- came on "TMZ Live" to talk about what life is like for her and her 14 children now. Remember, she gave birth to the octuplets in 2009 after she was mother to 6 kids.

Justin Bieber fired his longtime "assistant" years ago, TMZ has learned -- this amid new reports claiming JB's team recently began shrinking due to concerns about his well-being.

Texas rapper G$ Lil Ronnie and his 5-year-old daughter were shot dead at a car wash Monday morning just as their post-birthday festivities were getting underway, the slain artist's videographer tells TMZ Hip Hop.

Mello Vision has shot dozens of music videos and social content for Ronnie, and he tells us he's generally confused about the murders. If there was a threat to Ronnie's life, Mello would have felt it because they were frequently together at the same locations.

J.D. Vance was skiing among a bunch of folks who made their hatred for him well known, but the Secret Service tells us there was never a threat to him or his family ... despite Vance nearly being taken out by an out-of-control skier.

Multiple Secret Service sources tell TMZ ... the Vice President was never in danger this weekend during his ski trip to Sugarbush Resort in Warren, Vermont ... despite how things may have looked.

Kieran Culkin hinted he's about to be booked and busy ... in bed! The actor claimed his wife owes him two more children as part of a deal they made contingent on him winning an Oscar, which he secured at Sunday's show.

Apparently, she promised him a third child if he won an Emmy -- not thinking he would. He ended up taking home the trophy for best actor for HBO’s "Succession" in 2024.
