He's 14 now and ... as they say ... growing like a weed. Bigi's come a long way since that balcony scene with his dad.

Paul Johansson is gonna have to keep his distance from his baby mama and their kid after she claims he went ballistic over a food allergy scare.

Mercedes Connor, the "One Tree Hill" star's mother to Paul's 5-year-old son, claims she and Paul got into a blowout in August when their boy started coughing after eating a cookie. She says their son suffers from a severe peanut allergy.

Mercedes claims in legal docs Paul snatched the kid and attempted to leave her house with him ... accusing her of not giving him his medicine, and even putting hands on her before taking her phone and bolting.

Mercedes says Paul returned their kid after a neighbor stepped in -- but adds she was left shaken from the incident ... just one example of abuse she says was building for years.

Forget Bo Jackson ... who cares about Deion Sanders ... Tim Tebow? PLEASE ... There's a new 2 sport athlete on the horizon ... Chad Johnson's daughter, Cha'iel ... who just picked up soccer.

AND SHE'S FREAKIN' GOOD.

You've heard Cha'iel's name before ... she's an absolute PHENOM on the track, having won a gold medal in the 800 meters at the Junior Olympics this past August.

Well, now she's trying soccer ... and from the looks of the video her dad posted to Instagram just now ... the domination shall continue ... you gotta watch as she torches the whole team and scores.

UFC Hall of Famer Royce Gracie -- one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time -- is pulling the plug on his 22 year marriage ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Gracie filed divorce docs in L.A. County Superior Court seeking to end his marriage to Marianne Cuttic.

The two were married back in 1994 and have 4 children together -- 3 of them are under the age of 18.

In the docs, 49-year-old Gracie cites irreconcilable differences for the split -- but the most interesting part ... he's the one demanding spousal support. He also wants her to pay his attorneys fees.

Shocking, considering Gracie is one of the most famous MMA fighters ever -- and just fought Ken Shamrock at Bellator 149 back in February.

Marianne is a podiatrist in Los Angeles.

Royce is requesting joint physical and legal custody of their minor kids.

According to multiple reports, Gracie and his wife have been battling with the I.R.S. -- which has accused them of owing more than $1 million in back taxes.

Madonna's back to full-time mommy duty with her beloved Rocco.

She took the 16-year-old out for dinner in London Tuesday night ... a week after the settlement in her drawn-out custody war with Guy Ritchie.

As we reported ... Rocco went back to England for school -- as spelled out in the custody arrangement -- and looks like Madonna's sticking around to get him settled.

Madge took him out to a fancy vegetarian spot in Notting Hill called Farmacy.

How's that for quality mothering? Eat your veggies, Rocco!

Ludacris is beyond pissed at his baby mama, Tamika Fuller ... accusing her of altering photos of their daughter to make him look like an unfit father.

According to legal docs obtained by TMZ ... Tamika claims she picked up their 2-year-old daughter from daycare in May after she was in Luda's care -- he has primary custody -- and noticed "bruises and abrasions" on her face.

Tamika says she took their daughter to a hospital for emergency care, and a social worker there recommended DFCS get involved. In docs, she says DFCS wanted to keep Luda away from the girl.

Ludacris filed his own docs though, saying Tamika made up the whole story ... and even digitally edited photos of the alleged injuries and submitted them to the court. He adds, DFCS records will back that up.

It's Criss Angel!

We got clean cut Criss Monday night at his charity event in Vegas, where he lost the eyeliner ... and his long locks.

The event was for pediatric cancer research -- his toddler son, Johnny, was diagnosed with the disease last fall.

Johnny was front and center with dad ... in high spirits.

Miley Cyrus' baby sister, Noah, is joining the family biz ... and it's already paying off with six figure deals before she's recorded a hit.

16-year-old Noah signed 2 contracts -- one that will pay her $250k for recording her first album and another, for writing that album, will get her $100k ... this according to docs obtained by TMZ.

And there are a million more reasons for her to follow in Billy Ray, Miley and Trace's footsteps. If the first album's a hit she can get up to a $1.5 million advance for the second!

Minimum wage ... it's not for every teenager.

Shaq and Shaunie O'Neal are proving the best fights come AFTER marriage ... 'cause the big fella is DOUBLING DOWN on his NBA prediction for their sons ... despite the objections of mama.

Master P is full of it when he says he's broke, and even worse -- he's turned 3 of his kids into pawns in his divorce war with Sonya Miller ... according to Sonya, anyway.

Sonya is now firing back at her estranged husband and their children. We broke the story about the kids writing letters to the judge saying they preferred living with Dad because Mom is a drug addict.

But in new docs, Sonya says that Master P is pissed about recent court orders for him to pay her what she's owed ... so he used the kids to mislead the court.

She takes a shot at P's parenting too ... saying his decision to involve the children was selfish and not in their best interest. Sonya's also not buying his claim he only makes $2,441 per month.

She claims his net worth was $350 mil within the last 5 years, plus ... he still rolls in a Rolls.

Josh Murray and Amanda Stanton had a happy ending on the finale of "Bachelor in Paradise" ... but there's trouble on the horizon with her ex-husband.

Nick Buonfiglio filed docs -- obtained by TMZ -- saying he deserves more time with their 2 daughters. He says Amanda's been dumping their 2 and 4-year-old in full-time daycare lately while she's off working on multiple TV shows.

He adds ... all the media attention is bad for their girls, but great for Amanda's bottom line. Nick claims her income has skyrocketed since 'BiP' -- from $100/year to around $20k a month. Unclear how she would have lived on $100 a year, but now Nick wants her to pay more child support.

Amanda has agreed to try settling their differences in mediation.

Charlie Sheen fueled up the private jet for his birthday and partied with a couple of his favorite girls.

Unlike most tales of the Warlock, this time he was hanging with his daughters, Lola and Sam. Turns out they're huge Macklemore fans, and Sheen decided to celebrate his 51st last weekend by taking them to TWO concerts ... one in Seattle and then Las Vegas.

Despite recent financial tensions with Denise Richards ... she dropped their girls off for the trip with Dad and his pal, Tony Todd. In addition to the daddy/daughter weekend ... Charlie's other gift was an authentic Gold Glove award from Tony.

As for those wondering why Charlie's been crying poverty to Denise and Brooke Mueller, but is still flying on a fancy jet -- we're told the aircraft was a gift from an "old friend and future business partner, Robert Earl."

Jodie Sweetin and her ex-husband could be facing drug tests with very little warning ... and it's all part of their child custody agreement.

The "Full House" child star finalized her divorce from Morty Coyle Wednesday, and according to the docs -- obtained by TMZ -- they'll have share custody of their 6-year-old daughter ... with a twist.

Jodie and Morty can order one another to submit to a hair follicle drug test, with 12 hours notice, if they suspect the other drove their kid while under the influence.

As for finances ... Jodie will fork over $10k to Morty, on top of the community property thing -- they're splitting all income made during the marriage, which includes her "Full House" and "Fuller House" dough.

According to the docs, Jodie says she's currently making $4,000 a month. Syndication residuals do start shrinking after a while.

Paris Jackson's alone and in charge ... living in the back guesthouse at Michael's old Encino mansion.

Sources close to the family tell TMZ ... Paris had been itching to cut the cord from living with her grandmother in Calabasas ... where Blanket and several of her cousins also live. We're told the family had security concerns about her living just anywhere, so it was suggested she use MJ's old compound.

Michael's estate controls all of his properties, meaning ... technically, Paris needed permission to live there. We're told she went to them, and pointed out she basically owns the crib as part of her trust -- and the estate didn't fight her.

As for why she's in the guesthouse -- the main house is being remodeled.

We're also told Paris is living there completely on her own. She and bf Michael Snoddy recently posted pics from the backyard -- he comes and goes, but does NOT live there.

Jeremy Renner has settled yet another squabble with his ex-wife ... this time over child support.

Jeremy and Sonni Pacheco have been at war since she filed for divorce in December 2014 after being married for only 10 months.

The latest beef -- Sonni claimed Jeremy was behind in support payments for 3-year-old Ava. They agreed Jeremy would pay around $16k for support and another $24k for her lawyer and accountant.

She's made numerous allegations against Jeremy, claiming he was an unsafe dad because he had guns in the house, despite the fact that he had the guns while they were married and she had no problem with them.

She also griped that Jeremy was posting pics of the kid on social media.

Shaunie O'Neal is giving her ex-husband, Shaq, a little automotive advice ... pump your brakes, big fella ... saying guaranteeing both their kids make the NBA is too much pressure to put on the boys.

The Diesel made the big boast to us last week ... saying 16-year-old HS hoops superstar Shareef O'Neal AND his little brother 13-year-old Shaqir were LOCKS to hoop in the NBA one day.

We got Shaunie O'Neal out at LAX recently and asked her thoughts on The Diesel's big prediction ... and she sung a little different tune than Shaq did.

Check out Shaunie go all mama on our camera guy ... saying both kids know their dad is a big talker, and Shaqir is thinking about a much more important thing than b-ball right now ... girls.

Still though, we gotta say ... we like the boys' chances ... if they're into the whole millionaire thing, that is.
