Kids

North West's 3rd birthday train rolled on Saturday in fancy Bel Air ... and she definitely made a splash with cousin Penelope Disick who's also celebrating a birthday soon.

Kim and Kanye threw the shindig for their daughter, continuing the Disney-themed celebration ... mimicking "The Little Mermaid." Penelope will celebrate her bday early next month and we're told the bash was a combo for both girls.

The fam hit up Disneyland Thursday. Walt would be pleased.

T.I.'s stepdaughter was busted for trying to get a gun through TSA at Hartfields-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta.

Zonnique Pullins was arrested early Thursday morning after a TSA agent spotted the semiautomatic pistol in her purse ... with the help of an X-ray machine.

We're told Pullins stated she had a weapons permit but didn't have the paperwork to prove it. It didn't really matter ... you can't carry a gun onto a plane.

Cops cuffed Zonnique and booked her for carrying a concealed weapon in an unauthorized area.

She got out Friday AM.

Disney has more problems over the alligator attack. It's no longer a case of one child stepping into dangerous territory ... several Disney lagoons have been populated with kids for years.

Janice Croze posted a 2012 photo of her little girl, Olivia, in ankle-deep water in the lagoon at Disney's Beach Club Resort, a short drive from where Lane Graves was attacked by an alligator earlier this week. Check out all the kids in the background.

It's highly improbable Disney didn't know kids would stand in the water -- they're not violating the "no swimming" sign ... they're just wading.

To be clear ... Janice isn't blaming Disney, but thinks it should update its signs and aggressively monitor and remove dangerous wildlife that wanders into the lagoon.

Future just dropped his lawsuit against baby mama Ciara ... because he's getting more time with his son.

As TMZ reported -- Ciara sued Future for $15 million back in February for calling her a bad mom. Future countersued but he's just had a change of heart, asking the judge to dismiss his case against her.

Sources close to the rapper tell us he wants to calm the waters after scoring joint custody of baby Future. We're told Future is worried if he goes after Ciara in court she'll continue her efforts to restrict his custodial rights, and his son is more important than a court judgment.

Ciara is not like-minded. Her lawsuit is still full steam ahead.

Disney is acknowledging it may need signs around its properties warning of a hidden danger ... alligators.

A VP for the mouse says, while the beaches remain closed, Disney is reviewing its protocols, including "the number, placement and wording of our signage and warnings."

As we previously reported, Disney resorts in the area have "no swimming" signs posted, but no warnings of alligators ... despite the fact that numerous alligators have populated its lagoons.

It's almost certain the family of the boy who died will sue Disney, but a change in signage would not be admissible to show negligence on the part of the Resort. Courts don't want to discourage companies from improving safety.

Kim and Kanye gave Mickey and Minnie Mouse a break when they rolled through Disneyland Wednesday ... because all cameras were trained on them.

It was North's 3rd birthday and going to Disneyland to celebrate is kinda a thing.

Scott and Kourtney were there too with Penelope and Mason, so it was quite the attraction for everyone who thought they'd be bored waiting an hour to get on Space Mountain.

We doubt Kim and co. had to wait for any rides.

A little boy was wading in the lagoon at the Disney's Grand Floridian Resort -- in the exact place where an alligator put a 2-year-old in a death grip -- just 30 minutes before the attack.

Jennifer Vendetti and her son, Channing, went to the lagoon around the same time Lane Graves arrived. It appears Jennifer was okay with her son wading in the lagoon, despite the sign that warned people not to swim. Fact is ... he wasn't swimming -- he was wading.

As TMZ first reported, there were no signs warning of alligators, despite the fact that alligators populated the lagoon, and other resorts specifically warned guests of the reptiles.

Oprah almost got tongue-tied when our photog asked her who runs the White House ... not as in the government, but the house in which the First Family lives.

O was in D.C. with FLOTUS for the first White House women's summit.

Cops have laid to rest any hope of rescuing the 2-year-old boy dragged into a Disney lagoon by an alligator, and they just revealed gators in the area have been a big problem for a long time.

Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings just said the boy is presumed dead. But a Fish and Wildlife official raised troubling questions about a hidden danger at Disney resorts ... gators populating its lagoons.

As we reported, the resort in question did not warn guests about alligators, but now officials say they routinely kill the gators they find in the waters, and that it's hard keeping them away.

Divers are now using sonar to find the child's body.

A video has surfaced showing an alligator in a lagoon ... and the person who shot it tells TMZ it's the same body of water where a 2-year-old boy was attacked.

The clip shows a lagoon that has the same markers as the Seven Seas Lagoon at the Grand Floridian Resort in Orlando. Check out the raised sandbar. You also hear a small child excitedly yell about seeing an alligator.

The person who shot the video tells us it was recorded a few days ago ... shot from the wedding pavilion at the resort.

And we got this photo (above) which shows a gator in the same lagoon back last month.

Search and rescue responders have pulled several gators from the water in the last 12 hours, yet there are no signs posted warning people that alligators are in the water.

We contacted Disney but so far no comment.

10:30 PM PT -- Cops say the 2-year-old was with his parents and siblings wading in about a foot of water when the attack happened. A rep for the Orange County Sheriff's Department says the boy's father tried rescuing the child from the gator but was unsuccessful and suffered minor injuries. Cops say there are "no swimming" signs posted around the lagoon. It's estimated the gator was between 4-7 ft. long.

A rep for Disney added, "Everyone here at Walt Disney Resort is devastated by this tragic accident. Our priority is the family and we are doing everything we can to help law enforcement." The family was staying at the resort on vacation from Nebraska.

Florida Fish and Wildlife is currently trying to locate and trap the gator.

A 2-year-old child was snatched by an alligator and dragged into a lagoon at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa in Orlando, officials say ... and now cops are desperately searching the water.

Officials say the attack occurred around 9:30 PM Tuesday ... when the gator pulled the child into the Seven Seas Lagoon -- a man-made lake located between the resort and Walt Disney World.

Ava Sambora's early in her modeling career but she's looking like a seasoned pro in her latest photo shoot ... from all angles.

The 18-year-old spawn of Heather Locklear and Richie Sambora was putting in work Monday in Malibu. Check out the pics ... Ava and some friends are doing well for the bikini industry.

Nick Carter's firstborn son put a $50k dent in his pop's pockets before the tot could even crawl.

Nick's son, Odin, was born April 19th, and the Backstreet Boy and wife Lauren went all out on Odin's naptime digs by hiring celeb designer Stephanie Avila from Rock a Bye Mommy to build the nursery while Tori Swaim from New Arrivals, Inc. hooked up the baby bedding.

The hefty price included construction and furniture ... and these ain't discount items. The crib was $700, $1,200 for sconces, a $550 lamp and a $2,500 couch.

We're told Lauren and Nick loved the steampunk wallpaper, and decided to run with the industrial motif for the whole room.

Kim Zolciak is trying to stem the tide of outrage ... insisting she did not use a dog collar to shock her daughter.

Kim posted a video showing 14-year-old Ariana unbuckling the shock collar around the family dog's neck, and putting it around her own.

The collar emits shock waves when it's activated by a button, which hubby Kroy had in his hand. Kroy was pushing away and Ariana reacted, but Kim insists the collar was at such a low level it was merely a vibration and not a shock.

Disney's "Finding Dory" is causing a rift in the exotic fish community ... which believes the movie could bring a financial boom -- but also massacre the fish population.

We called a bunch of fish dealers who say they've stocked up on blue tangs -- Dory's species -- expecting a rush once the movie premieres. The same spike happened for clownfish after "Finding Nemo."

Tangs ain't cheap -- one goes for $40 to $60 ... So there's big money to be made.

But many experts told us they're worried tons of blue tangs will die when parents flock to buy the fragile fish for kids because tangs require a very specific, exotic tank setup. As one enthusiast put it ... fish novices "will kill these creatures."

One store owner sounded like he had PTSD from the 'Nemo' craze, and said he's stocking ZERO blue tangs ... just to avoid the "screaming kids."

Shop wisely.

Blue Ivy laid down the law with her famous father in tow ... NO pictures!!!

Blue channeled her inner Meghan Trainor Monday in NYC while tagging along with mama Beyonce and Jay Z at the CFDA's Fashion Awards.

Playing in her head all night -- Blue's gonna run this town tonight.
