Kids

Louis Tomlinson has lawyered up to wage a custody war, because he says his baby mama is not letting him see their kid ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected with Louis tell TMZ, the One Direction singer claims Briana Jungwirth has gotten greedy and wants money ... and lots of it. He claims she's using their 1-month-old son, Freddie Reign, to leverage a bigger payday.

It's a surprising turn ... Louis got Briana a 3 bedroom home in Calabasas and he's renting a $21 million home in L.A. to be close to Freddie.

Louis has not gotten a DNA test but says there's no doubt he's the dad ... they dated exclusively during the period in which she got pregnant.

We're told Louis is gunning for an order forcing Briana to give him some custodial rights, including significant access to his son.

Travis Barker is attacking his ex, Shanna Moakler ... accusing her of neglecting their kids, misusing their child support money, and exposing them to drugs and weapons.

The Blink 182 drummer filed docs demanding some changes STAT to his child custody arrangement with Moakler for several reasons including his concerns that she has drugs and guns in the house with them. He's not more specific about that allegation in the docs.

Barker also says he found out their son, 12-year-old Landon, was "roaming around" Calabasas earlier this month and hanging with a 15-year-old girl ... without Shanna's knowledge. In the docs, he also says she's sending Landon and their daughter Alabama to school without lunches.

Parenting issues aside ... Travis also has money concerns. He's paying $18k per month in child support, but wants that number slashed -- as low as $2,900 per month -- because he thinks Shanna's spending a lot of the dough on herself. He's also playing the poverty card ... rock star poverty, anyway.

Travis says he was hauling in more than $2 mil annually when they reached their current deal, but says he earned less than $600k in 2015. He's far from broke though ... admitting he has nearly $37 million in assets.

A source close to Shanna tells us she's devastated by Travis' filing, and if he really cared about the kids he wouldn't try to financially destroy their mother.

Kelly Clarkson was a trooper Wednesday, braving the crowds and the 80 degree heat as she trudged through Disneyland ... 9 months pregnant!

Kelly hit all the hots spots ... Small World, Autopia, Tomorrowland, the works. She had a VIP handler but no entourage.

Kelly's due any day. What we don't know ... whether she's walking a lot to induce labor.

Assuming all the walking didn't do the trick, she's supposed to appear as a guest judge and performer Thursday night on "American Idol."

Christian Slater destroyed his father's acting career by going public with allegations his dad is suffering from mental illness ... according to a new defamation lawsuit.

Thomas Knight Slater -- who's acted under the name Michael Hawkins -- says his son did an interview last year where he described his father as suffering from "manic-depressive schizophrenia."

Hawkins denies the comment and points out his son has no medical creds to make such a diagnosis.

In the suit -- filed Wednesday in L.A. and obtained by TMZ -- Hawkins says the article resulted in him being "blacklisted" in Hollywood. He says he was hoping to land more roles in the "autumn of his life," but that won't be possible after Christian's lies.

Hawkins had roles in soap operas like "Ryan's Hope" and "As the World Turns" in the '70s. He's also had small roles in some big movies -- 'Amityville Horror,' "Midnight Run" and "Mommie Dearest."

Future is gonna be piiiiissed.

Russell Wilson and baby Future had the run of Dodger Stadium on Sunday -- running the base paths, and posing for what looks like awesome family photos with Ciara.

As we've reported, Ciara and Future are in a nasty custody battle over their son. Future's already said he's not thrilled about public photos of Russell with his kid ... so, this feels like throwing fuel on a fire.

In the couple's defense, they didn't release the pics -- the Dodgers tweeted them Tuesday.

If nothing else ... it looks like baby Future had a great day, and Ciara got next year's Christmas card?

Saint West just made his public debut in honor of his grandfather, Robert Kardashian's birthday ... but there's a whole lot of daddy Kanye West in his face.

Kim Kardashian just posted the first shot of the nearly 3-month-old tyke. Kim captioned the pic: "Today is my dad's birthday. I know there's nothing more in the world he would have wanted than to meet his grandchildren. So I wanted to share this pic of Saint with you all."

Speaking of dads ... Kanye's been sleeping on the job. Kim also posted a pic of 'Ye and North passed out in the middle of a shopping trip for baby stuff at Bel Bambini.

Shop till you drop, right?

Madonna's crying out to Rocco again ... posting a pic from happier days.

Madge put up the photo of Rocco grinning with dandelions around his neck and said, "I miss this boy so full of life so full of love!"

She and Guy Ritchie are set to face off in court next month in their custody battle over Rocco ... who's living with Dad in England, for now. Madonna's been reaching out by posting pics with messages for her son.

Looks like Caron Butler has his future retirement plan all set ... 'cause his son is straight KILLIN' it on the bball court ... dropping 41 in a recent game.

Butler's kid J.C. is just a 15-year-old sophomore at Racine Prairie HS in Wisconsin but already has interest from D-1 schools like Wisconsin, Marquette Memphis and North Dakota State.

Why all the hubbub? It's not just the 41 point explosion ... J.C. is averaging nearly 20 points a game and is already 6'4".

How does dad feel about the success? We talked to Caron, the answer is ... duh, super stoked.

"I'm extremely proud of him. I've been watching him from afar, but I just got back to Racine and got to watch him play. He's playing great basketball going into State. I see myself in him a lot. He's much better than I was at that age."

As far as the NBA? Butler says it's not a sure thing ... but he's willing to do whatever he can to make sure J.C. has the shot.

"He really feels like he has a shot playing at a higher level. I'm going to give him every outlet and resource possible."

Rachel Dolezal ran afoul of the NAACP, but famed civil rights leader Langston Hughes would be flattered she named her son after him, and would even support her according to one of Hughes' confidants.

As we reported, Rachel named the baby Langston Attickus Dolezal, and Arnold Rampersad -- executor of Hughes' estate -- tells TMZ the choice is more perfect than you'd think.

Rampersad says the Harlem Renaissance poet frequently wrote about sexual relations between different races, and understood the "pains of what used to be called a 'voluntary Negro'" -- a term for a white person who chooses to fight for black rights.

He even compared Rachel to Walter Francis White, who lead the NAACP for 24 years ... even though he outwardly appeared to be a white man (he was actually mixed).

Score one for Dolezal. Finally.

Chris Spivey, the dad caught on camera disciplining his son with a belt on "Jo Frost: Nanny On Tour," is threatening legal action against the show after getting flooded with death threats.

Spivey tells TMZ the footage of what sounds like him whipping his 9-year-old with a belt as the child screamed in pain is "bogus" because it was grossly edited, and he was only hitting the bed. He says producers took the isolated incident and created a whole show around it, but never gave him a heads up it was airing Thursday night.

TMZ broke the story ... Frost called child services in November on Spivey after she saw the disturbing footage captured by the show's surveillance cameras. Spivey says DCFS investigated but found no wrongdoing.

Spivey watched last night and says the show "sucked." He says right after it aired he started getting Facebook threats.

Jo Frost's reality TV crew recorded footage of a father disciplining his child with a belt, and she felt the incident was so severe she reported it to child services ... TMZ has learned.

While recording an episode of her new show "Jo Frost: Nanny On Tour" ... Frost visited a family last October in Gwinnett County, GA. Sources connected to production tell us the Spivey family contacted the show because their 3 kids don't respect mom's word around the house ... only dad's.

After Jo's visit the show left surveillance cameras -- with the Spiveys' approval -- which captured a scene where the father sends his 9-year-old son up to his bedroom, takes off his belt and then goes into the bedroom. The boy was in trouble for using dad's charger.

The episode, which aired Thursday night on the UP channel, doesn't show any beating, but you can hear the boy wailing from behind the closed door.

As part of her follow-up with families ... Frost reviews the footage and we're told when she saw what happened between Chris Spivey and his son, she immediately reported it to DCFS.

We spoke to the Spiveys, who confirmed DCFS investigated. Mr. Spivey admits using corporal punishment in the past -- which is legal in Georgia as long as the child isn't injured -- but he denies hitting his son in the video. He claims he only "hit his bed," and claims the boy was crying because "he was frightened."

Kim Kardashian took North West ice skating for the very first time and wow is it adorable!

Kim's in NYC for Fashion Week, but took some time out for skating on the pop-up rink at The Standard hotel.

Kim Kardashian is teaching little North West a lesson that's gotta be making PETA apoplectic.

Mother and daughter were decked out in fur in blustery NYC as they dined at Cipriani.

It literally looks like she's wearing a polar bear.

"16 and Pregnant" star Lindsey Harrison just had a huge victory in court -- she's been awarded all parental rights to her 5-year-old daughter.

Lindsey, who's 21 now, got a managing conservatorship over her daughter, Aniyah Monroe Harrison-Ponce.

According to legal docs ... Aniyah's birth father, Forrest Dean Ponce, has been absent for 6 months, and failed to support his daughter for at least a year.

It takes some serious cojones to get in the octagon and spar with Anderson Silva -- but one 10-year-old kid took the challenge Thursday ... and CRUSHED IT ... and we've got the footage.

Silva was promoting his upcoming fight with Michael Bisping when he invited the 10-year-old jiu jitsu student to come into the octagon and show off his skills.

Everyone was impressed ... including Silva.

Hope Dana White was watching ...

Guy Ritchie and son Rocco strolled through a London park Wednesday when they got interrupted by a call ... we're guessing it was not Madonna.

Rocco is sporting a new look ... buzzed to the skin. It won't grow out much before his NYC courtroom showdown next month with his mom. Madonna thinks Guy is not parenting the 15-year-old, allowing him to make his own rules. Rocco and Guy say Madonna's way too controlling.

We're told Guy has lawyered up for the fight.
