Kids

Lil Baby's showing he's a real hands-on dad ... especially when it comes to giving his son the bling he deserves.

The Atlanta rapper wanted to do something special for his 3-year-old boy, Jason, as sort of a late birthday/early Christmas present ... and also to celebrate his new album dropping. So, we're told he went to Icebox with a $25k budget and they went to work ... and so did Lil Baby.

We're told the rapper wanted 2 pieces for his boy -- a "Baby Jason" pendant and a smaller "Jason" one -- and he personally wanted to be a part of making it.

Lil Baby stopped by the shop and they showed him how to set some of the diamonds. When it was all said and done, his son was dripping in 7 carats of VS diamonds and 14 karat white gold ... hanging on rope gold chains.

Father and son picked up the Icebox ice Thursday and wore them to his show that night at the Roxy in Atlanta. Gotta say ... the kid looks dope.

Katie Holmes enjoyed the hell outta mommy duty while on the job -- think, bring your daughter to work day ... but without Suri.

Katie was all smiles Friday with her on-set "daughter" in Louisiana while filming her new movie, "The Secret." She and costar Josh Lucas play a happy family of 3 and you can see Katie way into it. Hard to tell with the toddler.

Y'know what they say about working with kids.

Of course, this was probably like riding a bike for Katie ... who, of course, had plenty of practice scooping up Suri. BTW, she's 12 now!

Those sweaty gym sessions with her bae, Jamie Foxx, are really paying off based on how easily she lifted the kid during this scene shot in a park playground. Or maybe her co-star's just super light.

With just days to spare, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are announcing they struck a custody agreement to avoid battling it out in front of a judge.

We broke the story ... Angelina and Brad were set to go to trial December 4, and they seemed miles apart on custody demands for their 6 kids. She wanted sole physical custody, and he wanted 50/50 joint custody.

On Friday, Angelina's attorney, Samantha Bley DeJean announced, "A custody arrangement was agreed to weeks ago, and has been signed by both parties and the judge." She added the agreement is "based on the recommendations of the child custody evaluator."

The terms are confidential, but the bottom line is ...there will be no trial next week.

There's still plenty more to be decided in their bitter divorce -- like property settlement -- which could get ugly considering they didn't have a prenup when they got married.

1:30 PM PT -- Taylor has been released from jail after paying the $5,350 in back payments ... TMZ Sports has learned.

More legal trouble for Jermain Taylor ... the ex-boxing champ was arrested for the second time this month after missing a child support payment ... TMZ Sports has confirmed.

40-year-old Taylor -- once the undisputed middleweight champ -- was booked in Pulaski County jail in Arkansas around 1 PM on Wednesday.

Jermain owes a whopping $54,500 in child support ... and will not be released until he either pays $5,350 in back payments or otherwise satisfies the court.

ICYMI -- Taylor was arrested in Arkansas back in August for allegedly knocking a woman unconscious and holding a knife to her throat.

Prosecutors later indicted Taylor on felony aggravated assault, felony terroristic threats and misdemeanor domestic battery.

This is one of the best videos you'll see today ... Cleveland Browns star Nick Chubb surprised one of his biggest fans in the hospital this week ... and the kid completely freaked out!!

10-year-old Georgia Bulldogs superfan Luke Clayton has benign rolandic epilepsy and is currently at the Cleveland Clinic prepping for brain surgery.

The 22-year-old rookie RB took time out of his Tuesday to meet up with Luke ... and when he walked into the hospital room, Luke could hardly believe his eyes.

"Oh my gosh!!!! I never thought this would happen!!! This is crazy," Luke says

Chubb's been awesome to watch this season with more than 650 yards and 6 TDs. But, this right here's the real highlight.

Tyrese is not celebrating his recent court win against his ex-wife, but one thing's for damn sure -- he desperately wishes to get on the same page with her when it comes to parenting their daughter.

We got Tyrese leaving Avra Wednesday afternoon in Bev Hills where the singer opened up about a judge ruling he no longer had to cover Norma Gibson's childcare costs when her activities aren't work-related.

For starters, Tyrese says he didn't win. You can tell the subject weighs heavily on him 'cause he pours his heart out ... wishing he got along better with Norma for their daughter Shayla's sake. As you know ... Tyrese has been at war with Norma over custody and other financial issues.

Tyrese says their best option for settling disputes now is L.A. Superior Court -- he even shouts out the address -- but he also openly admits he wishes he and Norma could turn the page on their contentious relationship.

If this isn't the most Mariah Carey move of all time we don't know what is ... 'cause teaching her twins backup vocals is pretty legendary.

Mariah put Moroccan and Monroe to work Wednesday night, teaching them the backup vocals to her 1994 classic "All I Want For Christmas Is You." You can tell the kids have listened to this song once or twice ... they jump on cue when the song starts.

Roc and Roe -- as Mariah's dubbed them -- are definitely into this. You can see Moroccan crack his fingers and dab before putting in some work. Mariah kicks things off before the kiddos jump in with their I's and O's.

Mariah says the kids have been practicing the vocals ... and bravo, 'cause they nailed it.

After Travis Scott wowed the Madison Square Garden crowd -- which included his baby girl -- he got in some QT with Kylie Jenner. Just another Tuesday night for the fam.

The couple was spotted together after Travis rocked MSG as part of his Astroworld tour, and from the looks of it ... no one enjoyed his performance more than their 9-month-old daughter, Stormi. Seriously, she could barely contain herself.

Travis shared the stupidly cute vid of Stormi giggling and bouncing as she watched him on a monitor backstage. She almost seemed to be matching his moves as he performed "Quintana."

Before the show, Kylie posted a pic referring to Travis as her "hubby" ... adding more fuel to rumors they might have secretly wed.

As we reported ... Travis called Kylie "my beautiful wife" at a show last week in Houston.

Could just be cute nicknames for each other, but then again ... secret marriages are kinda the in thing -- as in Cardi B and Offset ... and Justin and Hailey.

There's a ZERO percent chance LaMelo Ball will follow in his bro's footsteps and play at UCLA next season ... so says LaVar Ball who tells us he's still furious over the way the school treated LiAngelo.

17-year-old LaMelo is playing pretty well at the Spire Institute in Ohio -- and recently dropped 30 points during a game in Atlanta.

LaVar tells us his son is "better than LeBron" was as a teenager -- calling him "unbeatable" and "the coldest person on two feet."

So, where's he gonna play his college ball next year? Definitely not in Westwood.

"Heck no, he won't be at UCLA," LaVar says ... "UCLA? Why? After what they did to my other son? Are you crazy?"

Remember, LiAngelo withdrew from UCLA after the shoplifting incident in China. UCLA had suspended him indefinitely but that didn't sit well with LaVar.

"Suspend him and don't tell him when he supposed to be able to play and all that? No, they ain't behind him like that. One mistake and now you put him to the side and act like he's supposed to come the next year?"

LaVar says he's also upset that UCLA forced LiAngelo to wear #15 when he wore #3 all his life -- "so it started off wrong."

As for LaMelo, Ball says he'll start taking recruiting trips to colleges "when he feels like it."

Diddy delivered a moving, emotional and heartfelt tribute to Kim Porter Saturday at her funeral ... evidence by audio of the eulogy.

The eulogy lasted 15 minutes ... and Diddy toughed it out without breaking down. Diddy talked about how Kim taught him how to love. He revealed ... at the beginning of the year he was dealing with depression and Kim would come over and comfort him, making sure he was okay.

Diddy went on to describe their evolving relationship ... a relationship that produced 3 children and a relationship that was solid from beginning to end.

There were moments so moving the mourners cheered.

Diddy made it clear ... he would always be there for his kids, and he got a big laugh when he talked about how his daughters could confide in him ... confide "everything."

Kate Hudson took the latest addition to her fam out for a stroll on Thanksgiving weekend.

Kate and bf, musician Danny Fujikawa, took their newborn out Saturday night, on their way to dinner. It's unclear if the kid actually went in the restaurant or if she was deposited back home before the meal.

She gave birth to Rani Rose on October 2. She and Danny named the baby after his grandfather.

Hudson has 2 other kids from previous relationships -- Ryder Russell Robinson, the son of Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson, and Bingham Hawn Bellamy, whose dad is Muse frontman, Matt Bellamy.

Kevin Hart and his wife Eniko thought it was all good to throw their son, Kenzo, a "Cowboys and Indians" party on Thanksgiving for his first birthday.

Many people disagree.

The Harts are getting slammed for going the culturally inappropriate and offensive route with their kid's bday bash theme, in which the attendees wore either cowboy gear or Native American-inspired clothing.

Eniko captioned a pic from the party ... "Zos cowboys & indians party was nothing but amazing! Thanks to everyone for coming.. we love you guys!"

But, many of Kevin and Eniko's followers don't find it amazing at all and are blasting the couple, calling the idea shameful and ignorant instead.

We will say this, though ... Kenzo looked pretty adorable in his cowboy costume.

Just last week, Kevin and his ex-wife Torrei threw their 11-year-old son Hendrix a Fortnite party ... without a whiff of controversy.

2:00 PM PT -- A forlorn Diddy was spotted sitting next to Kim's gravesite looking deep in thought. Several mourners -- including Usher -- later gathered on the cemetery lawn to watch the fireworks show for Kim.

Meanwhile, Diddy shared a touching tribute to her on his Instagram with the caption ... "The truest definition of a MOTHER."

Diddy and hundreds of other mourners have filed out of Kim Porter's funeral service at the Cascades Hills Church in Columbus, Georgia ... and family and friends are en route to her final resting place.

The procession is heading to Evergreen Memorial Park, where Kim will be buried next to her mother. We're told the fire department is already there because fireworks will be shot off in her honor, and police are on hand for security.

Diddy spoke at Kim's service along with many others -- including her son Quincy, Mary J. Blige and Dallas Austin ... while Yolanda Adams and Faith Evans paid musical tribute. Bishop Noel Jones delivered the eulogy.

Kim's being laid to rest in a golden casket. We're told as the procession left the funeral home, Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" was playing.

TMZ broke the story ... Kim was found dead at her home last week after her family members say she was battling an illness.

She was 47.

Cardi B must be feeling nostalgic, 'cause she ended up on taking a triumphant stroll down memory lane ... as in the block where she went to elementary school back in the day.

The Bronx-born MC hit up P.S. 128 Audubon earlier this month in NYC's Washington Heights neighborhood. Cardi did 3 years there ... 1st through 3rd grades -- and we're told she popped in unannounced during lunchtime ... rocking a sweet orange 'do.

The surprise drop-in also made for a sweet reunion between Cardi and her 1st-grade teacher, Yvette Coporan, who's still teaching at the school after all these years. They posed for a pic -- CB went duck face, while her teach opted for a more classic "CHEESE."

Obviously, Cardi's come a long way since those days -- as evidenced by her incredible success this year and, more recently, the sweet house she bought for her mom.

And, even though she's living in Atlanta these days with hubby Offset and baby Kulture -- it's great to see Cardi showing love for her roots, and her NYC education.

"7th Heaven" star Beverley Mitchell coped with a huge loss earlier this year after miscarrying twins.

Beverley made the stunning announcement with a Thanksgiving Day post on her blog "Growing Up Hollywood." She said she was naturally excited when she found out "a few months back" she was pregnant with twins. But, only a few weeks later, Beverley found out "our new dream of our growing family came crashing down" after learning about the miscarriage.

The 37-year-old actress and mother of 2 said she was puzzled by the experience given she had 2 healthy pregnancies before, but soon realized, after opening up to others, that miscarriages sadly happen.

Justin Bieber admits Aaron Carter was cool once upon a time ... when the Biebs was 7!!!

Justin is finally responding to Aaron's gripes about not being paid homage by JB and modern-day child pop stars ... and Justin's throwing some serious shade towards AC in the process.

The Biebs shared his two cents Wednesday night, writing on his Twitter, "Aaron carter i had your album when i was little. And bumped the song Aaron's party. I was like 7. if you need a hype man I got you."

The hilarious beef started Tuesday, when Aaron responded to a random fan on Twitter, who had wondered why Carter never reached the same success as Justin.

Aaron went off on a mini-rant, suggesting he's basically the OG Biebs and blasting Justin and others for failing to give him props for paving the way.
