Kids

Jeremy Renner's estranged wife thinks his pool is a death trap for their 2-year-old daughter because he won't install a safety fence ... so she's fighting him in court over it.

Sonni Pacheco's attorney was in court Wednesday in L.A., and told the judge Jeremy's koi pond and pool lack protective fencing. Sonni's afraid little Ava could fall in and drown before Jeremy gets to her.

Renner's side doesn't think a fence is needed because his laser detection system will alarm him if Ava were to fall into the pool or the pond.

They're also fighting over social media -- Sonni's uncomfortable with Jeremy posting pics of Ava.

DMX almost got a free pass on his latest paternity case, because the docs went to the wrong person ... someone unlucky enough to share X's real name!

We're told Earl Simmons from Massachusetts got docs in the mail from the Florida Dept. of Revenue, informing him he'd have to start paying child support to 2 of DMX's kids.

Yadira Borrego -- X's ex -- tells TMZ she filed the docs to establish paternity with the state, so DMX can pay child support through the proper legal channels ... and avoid another jail stint. She says he already supports their kids, but it's been off the books.

The person who's really screwed is the faux DMX, who works in the biomedical field. Poor guy's got 2 kids of his own, and we're told Florida is insisting he take a DNA test to prove he's not the real Ruff Ryder.

Beyonce didn't become Beyonce on her own ... she had years of intense schooling from her dad, Mathew Knowles ... and now he wants to give YOU the same chance ... if you have the cash.

TARGET AUDIENCE: Aspiring singers, dancers, composers, writers, producers, managers, publicists, attorneys and anyone else with loose cash.

PRICE: General admin is only $199, but for $299 you get the VIP package -- a private lunch and a photo op with Mr. Knowles.

WHEN/WHERE: October 24th in Houston @ 9 AM

TMZ Sports has obtained explosive video of ex-NFL tight end Desmond Clark GOING BALLISTIC at officials at a Chicago area high school after his son was allegedly mistreated because he's black.

According to police, it all went down on August 29th at Vernon Hills High ... where Desmond's 17-year-old son was blocked from participating in a school lip sync event because of a previous code of conduct violation.

Desmond's son claims an administrator demeaned him in front of other students -- calling him a "criminal" -- so he called his parents who came rushing to the school.

You can see in the video ... Desmond's wife Maria got so HEATED, Desmond had to literally pick her up and remove her from the person she was screaming at.

Desmond -- who played for the Bears from 2003 to 2010 -- comes back into the room and begins to yell. Cops say he was calling out school officials ... claiming his son had been the victim of racism for years and his family was sick of it.

Several people in the room gave Desmond an ovation at the end of his rant.

Eventually, cops arrived to the scene and spoke with the Clarks for more than an hour. They left that day without incident ... but Desmond and his wife were hit with criminal charges in the following days.

Both Desmond and his wife were charged with disorderly conduct -- Maria was also hit with an assault charge. They were arrested on September 11th and were later released.

They have since pled not guilty and are due back in court later this month.

Desmond has since been banned from school grounds -- his lawyer says, "They're afraid of him because he's a big black man."

Dr. Ben Carson was NOT that far off with his advice on taking down mass shooters ... this according to celebrity security experts who are suddenly flooded with calls to train famous children for that very scenario.

Logan Clarke and Allen Cardoza run an executive level protection firm in Hollywood, and tell us they've had requests from 5 celeb parents and 2 schools (private and public) -- all looking for training for high school and college students.

While they can't reveal their clients' names, they did tell us what they generally recommend: When dealing with a crazed guman you only have 2 choices ... fight or die.

The family of 13-year-old YouTube star Caleb Logan Bratayley says the boy died from an undetected medical condition.

No other details were given, except to say the family will have more definitive answers soon. It's unclear how much the family has been told, but it appears they know generally what triggered Caleb's death.

Caleb's memorial will be livestreamed on Periscope and Facebook.

Caleb passed away suddenly Thursday night in Maryland.

Caitlyn Jenner and daughter Kylie grabbed lunch Monday ... the first time they've been seen in public since Kylie's 18th birthday party.

The two nibbled on sushi at Sugarfish in Calabasas after attending a NOH8 event in LA.

They were matching right down to the lipstick. Caitlyn opted for a more neutral color, while Kylie wore blue to show her support in honor of world bullying day.

Zoe Kravitz stacks up just fine against "Are You Gonna Go My Way" ... "Always on the Run" ... "Fly Away" or "Let Love Rule."

The "Dope" star was hanging on South Beach in a little black bikini -- reminding us Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet's music, movies and TV shows are NOT their only legacy in entertainment. Definitely not their hottest either.

American woman ... please come knocking around our door.

Tom Cruise did not go to his daughter's wedding, but we found out he was nobody special, because none of the parents -- on either side -- were invited.

There are reports Tom snubbed 22-year-old Bella, who married Max Parker last month. Sources connected with Tom and Bella tell TMZ, she and Max wanted a super small wedding in London with a few friends and that was it ... no parents were invited.

We're told Tom was not only cool with the decision, he footed the bill for the wedding and party at the fancy schmancy Dorchester hotel.

Maddie Ziegler just turned 13 and if you're wondering what a kid who's starred in 3 Sia music videos and a reality show gets when they reach teen-hood ... ice, as in a pair of diamond stud earrings.

Ziegler's family surprised the "Dance Moms" star with a birthday party at their family's favorite hibachi restaurant. We're told the youngster was punked by her family and friends, who all profusely apologized saying they couldn't make it out for her birthday.

But when Maddie showed up at the restaurant ... her BFFs Nia, Kendall and Mackenzie from the show all yelled SURPRISE!!! We're told 2 dozen people were in on it, even Abby Lee Miller.

After the group sang happy birthday, they took down a cheesecake. And to top it all off she also got what every other 13-year-old out there wants ... an Apple Watch.

Next stop for the youngsters ... L.A., where they'll be filming the new season of "Dance Moms."

Michael Jackson's kids, along with other members of the family brood, showed up at a Hollywood sports bar to celebrate the premiere of the new reality show, The Jacksons: Next Generations."

We got Taryll, TJ, Taj, Paris, Prince, Blanket and Donte, in that order in the video.

It seems Paris is hooked up with the guy she's with, and it's interesting to see 13-year-old Blanket, who has flown under the radar since his dad's death.

The show airs on Lifetime.

Kristin Cavallari can scarf down all the frozen yogurt she wants because pregnancy cravings look really good on the expectant hot mom.

The former 'Hills' star is close to popping out her third kid with Chicago Bears QB Jay Cutler. Kristin's about about 7-8 months along, but was still in MILF mode when she stepped out in West Hollywood for froyo with her son.

The Bears might be 0-3 on the season, but Kristin's still winning.

"Glee" star Naya Rivera and husband Ryan Dorsey might be huge Clint Eastwood fans because their first baby has a definite tie to the ole gunslinger.

Naya and the "Justified" star just had their first kid -- a boy born on September 17 -- and according to the birth certificate ... named him Josey.

Josey Hollis Dorsey ... in full, came into the world at the ever popular celeb birth spot -- Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A.

The name doesn't appear to have any family significance for Ryan or Naya ... so, the most famous male Josey we can think of is ... Clint's character in "The Outlaw Josey Wales."

Congrats.

Believe it ... TV parents can absolutely teach real-life parents a thing or two -- which Julie Bowen proved by dropping serious relationship knowledge.

The "Modern Family" hot mom was bolting out of BOA Steakhouse on Sunset and we asked if she has, y'know ... "the talk" with her TV kids. After all, 2 of 'em are at that age -- Nolan Gould is 16, and Ariel Winter is 17.

Sarah Hyland is 24, but what 20-something couldn't use some sex advice, right?

Kim Kardashian's due date is December 25, 2015 ... seriously.

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ, doctors have back timed the date of conception and they've been told their son will be born on Xmas day.

Obviously, the due date is always a little up in the air, but Xmas is the likely date, and here's why. We're told Kim has a condition where the placenta grows too deeply into the uterus, which could be dangerous.

We're told as of now, doctors are planning on a natural birth on Xmas day, but a c-section might be necessary that day for safety reasons, if she doesn't give birth beforehand.

Chris Brown and his baby mama Nia Guzman have settled their custody war, right down to the official name of their child.

Sources connected with the case tell us, Chris and Nia have agreed to joint physical and legal custody. He'll get their 1-year-old 12 days out of the month, and there will be no supervised visitation.

As for the baby's name ... they've agreed she's Royalty Brown -- no middle name.

And we're told Chris will pay Nia $2,500 a month. He's also paying her $15k in back support.

Chris also has to pay for Royalty's schooling, health insurance, medical bills and nannies.

And we're told the drug test Chris submitted to during the custody hearing has come back positive for both weed and codeine, but we're told he had a prescription for both.

The settlement is subject to a judge's approval.
