The AMAZING 911 operator who helped Iman Shumpert deliver his baby last week is a STUD who will "definitely" be nominated for service awards ... his boss tells TMZ Sports.

We spoke with Cleveland EMS Headquarters chief David Miller who wouldn't reveal the ID of the heroic 911 operator -- but told us, "He's always been a really good employee."

So good ... that Miller says the operator will "definitely be nominated" for several prestigious awards for emergency workers which are announced at a ceremony during EMS Week in Cleveland in May.

Miller says everyone was impressed with the cool, calm and collective way the operator handled himself during the call with Shumpert -- but adds, "We aren't surprised at all."

Miller says the guy has always been popular around the office ... "but even more so this week."

Congrats!!

Coco has dumped her baby weight so fast, even her kid seems to doubt she was once pregnant.

Coco pressed the flesh with little Chanel, as if to prove the baby was once on the other side.

Check out the pic of Coco at 37 weeks ... it's just unfair.

You've seen him crush the mitts ... but now 7-year-old boxing phenom Nijee "The Future" is obliterating real life sparring partners -- and they're all WAY OLDER THAN HIM.

After bursting onto the scene with a YouTube video that racked up more than 1 MILLION views, Nijee is now training with real opponents ... but his dad says he'll only put him in the ring with older kids -- for their own safety.

Check out this recent video (above) and you'll see why -- Nijee delivers a series of devastating body shots on a kid two years older than him ... putting an end to the session.

We're told the other kid is no chump -- he's a respected 9-year-old fighter who's "very experienced" and has been training for a while.

Not to worry parents ... the two tykes hugged and shook hands after the fight.

Question is ... when will Nijee fight for real?? We're told USA Boxing requires fighters to be at least 8 years old to compete in a sanctioned bout. So, soon.

In the meantime, check out Nijee working below ... and hide your kids.

Silento, the rapper behind "Watch Me (Whip/ Nae Nae)," could make it rain like the big fellas ... except he's only 17.

We got ahold of the contract he signed with Capitol Records, and he scored $100k just for the song. He's promised an additional $50k once the label green lights his first album.

The contract -- which was filed with the court -- shows Capitol believes Silento is more than a one hit wonder -- he signed up for 3 additional albums and could earn as much as $500k for each one.

It pays to "Nae Nae" ... literally.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's son is now the only Saint West in show biz -- the Canadian rapper who had the handle first has decided to get out of the hip hop game.

TMZ contacted the guy, who's now going by his government name -- Lindon McIntyre -- to find out if he was planned to make a stink about Kim and Kanye's spawn biting his name, especially on Twitter.

He sent us this hysterical video reply. These days he looks nothing like a rapper, and more like an accountant -- although he's actually a plumber, and ballroom dance is his hobby.

Watch ... he has some career advice for Saint West 2.0.

Shame his career's ending before it began -- seems like an entertaining guy.

NBA star Iman Shumpert was INCREDIBLY calm for a guy who's fiancee unexpectedly gave birth in their home -- and you can hear the whole dramatic thing unfold on the 911 recording.

Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton's relationship can't get any more real than this -- hanging out with her toddler son!

Blake joined Gwen and Apollo for lunch Thursday in Studio City, the first time we've seen them in more of a family type setting. Of course, Gwen has two older boys ... so Blake's not fully immersed yet, but it's starting to look like it's only a matter of time.

This should go a long way to quieting the doubters ... for a while, anyway.

Sylvester Stallone is learning a valuable lesson about showbiz -- courtesy of his 3 daughters -- which is ... you gotta know how to shoot a selfie, dad!

69-year-old Sly took Sistine Rose, Sophia Rose and Scarlet Rose to Staples Center Thursday night for a Lakers game. Instead of watching the game, Rocky used his famous mitts to snap a few shots with the girls -- and then they took their own.

They weren't missing anything on the court -- Lakers lost by 20.

Mark Zuckerberg has turned into the stereotypical Facebook user ... posting baby pics.

The FB honcho showed off his adorable daughter Max dressed up as a baby Jedi, captioning the pic, "The force is strong with this one."

Let's hope the kid is more of Luke than Anakin.

Kris Jenner is cleaning house ... 86'ing the security guards she blames for putting her family, including grandkids North and Saint West, at risk.

Sources close to the fam tell TMZ Jenner was livid about Tuesday's lapse, and 24 hours later she's booted the entire team. We broke the story ... cops busted a man at the house who strolled right into the home and got face-to-face with Kris.

We're told she was especially angry because there were policies in place to prevent such an incident, including 24 hour surveillance -- and she didn't get any reasonable explanation for why it failed.

Kanye West was equally pissed, and our sources say he immediately ordered his security team -- comprised of off-duty cops -- to watch over the fam. Kim Kardashian and the kids have been staying with Kris since coming home with Saint.

There's one place Metta World Peace isn't Metta World Peace ... his own home.

We spoke with Ron Artest III -- who tells us behind closed doors, the Lakers star is simply Ron, just like his mother named him.

By the way, RA3 is a prep basketball superstar who's being recruited by colleges all over the country ... and oh yeah, THE KID CAN DUNK!!!

He also gave us some insight into Christmas at the Artest home ... and let's just say they ain't the Kardashians.

Iman Shumpert sprung into the role of OBGYN Wednesday -- when his fiancee went into labor in their home ... and the NBA star delivered the kid right in their home bathroom!!!

Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose are proof the holidays bring families together.

The exes put their differences aside Wednesday for the sake of hanging out with their son Sebastian in an L.A. park.

It really is a wonderful life ... for the next 9 days or so, anyway.

North West may have gotten her first gig as an extra in "Swan Lake," because she was rockin' it Tuesday in Calabasas.

North was on her way to dance class, accompanied by Aunt Kourtney and cousin Penelope.

The kid's fancy, for sure.

Kelly Rutherford lost custody of her 2 children because the judge feared she'd abduct the kids from Monaco, never to return again.

Rutherford lost custody of the children in August to battled ex-husband Daniel Giersch, who is a resident of the country. In a written ruling, obtained by TMZ, the judge said there was "a strong risk of the children's abduction and retention in the United States" -- translation, there was a big chance she'd flee with the kids.

Fact is ... Kelly did do something similar a few months ago, where she refused to return the kids to Monaco after they visited her during the summer.

The judge laid down the law and said not only would Daniel get custody ... Kelly could only visit her kids in France and Monaco.

Vin Diesel stepped in to take care of 4 kids when their father -- one of Vin's longtime friends -- got busted for a domestic violence incident with his girlfriend.

Law enforcement tells TMZ ... Vin's pal, Valentino Morales, was arrested last week after allegedly pushing his girlfriend and hitting her in the face. Morales says his daughter immediately called Uncle Vin for help. We're told he stayed with the kids while Morales was taken into custody.

Morales was released and his girlfriend decided she would not press charges.

We're told Vin is the godfather of Morales' kids, and did a great job calming them down during the incident. See, "The Pacifier" actually was good for something.
