Kids

Nas didn't have to take his son, Knight, to an island off the coast of Costa Rica to see dinosaurs over Spring Break ... he took him to Universal Studios where they hopped on the Jurassic Park ride.

Hard to tell who had more fun Monday on the ride ... Nas or his 8-year-old kid. Nas has plenty of reasons to smile though, and staying dry is the least of them.

He's been embroiled in a war over child support and custody with Knight's mom, Kelis. She wants Nas to cough up more than the $8k he's paying her now in child support. They recently settled their custody battle switching off birthdays -- he gets even years, she gets odds -- and holidays.

Looks like he got Easter.

Blac Chyna's 18-year-old boyfriend allegedly attacked two teen girls at Six Flags just minutes before Chyna was seen throwing her daughter's stroller around like a weapon.

We got Alexis, who's also 18, speaking out for the first time about Sunday's melee, which she says started when she spotted Chyna's daughter, Dream, in a stroller. Alexis says Dream was being pushed by a nanny and Alexis complimented the nanny on how cute Dream was.

Alexis claims she patted Dream's hand, which Chyna noticed and warned her not to touch the kid ... and 15 minutes later threatened to whoop her ass.

Alexis claims a physical altercation started with Chyna's bf, YBN Almighty Jay, punching her and her sister several times. Alexis claims she never traded blows with Chyna, and Six Flags security quickly intervened, advising everyone to go on their way without filing a report.

Blac Chyna's Six Flags stroller freak-out started when some kid touched her baby girl -- and all hell broke loose when one phrase was uttered in her direction ... "hood rat."

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ that the girl who made contact with baby Dream began shouting at Chyna shortly afterward, calling her the derogatory term. That girl began inching closer to Chyna as well, causing BC's entourage to step in to block Chyna.

We're told the instigating girl ended up pushing one of Chyna's friends, and a fistfight broke out. Meanwhile, Dream and King were both whisked away by their nanny before all the mayhem.

As we reported ... Chyna addressed the public meltdown by saying she was simply defending her daughter, and expressed she would protect her children "at all costs."

NFL linebacker turned actor Anthony "Spice" Adams pulled out one of the coldest April Fools' pranks we've ever seen -- sending his own kids on a FAKE Easter egg hunt!

It's heartless, but also hilarious ... and we still can't decide whether it's OK to laugh.

In the video, Spice describes his devious plot before bustin' up in laughter ... and sending his kids on the pointless search through their backyard.

You'd think he'd let them in on the joke after a couple minutes ... but it seems like he let his youngins loose for A LOT longer.

But don't feel too bad for 'em ... TMZ Sports spoke to the "Ballers" star and he told us they got PLENTY of candy before the fake-out.

Ray J doesn't know the first thing about changing diapers but says that's not gonna stop him from being a hands-on dad when his baby girl arrives, especially since he's not planning on having any help.

We got Ray J and his wife, Princess Love, outside SiriusXM Studios Thursday in Midtown Manhattan, where he let the cat out of the bag and confirmed ... they're having a girl.

He's still got some time to brush up on diaper duty training since the baby's not due til summer. He also might want to read up on secondhand smoke.

Mel B is not retaliating against Stephen Belafonte by keeping her daughter, Angel, from him ... she says she wants him out of the picture because she now has a strong relationship with the child's biological father -- Eddie Murphy.

Mel B and Stephen are at war over custody of 10-year-old Angel. Although Eddie's the dad, Stephen raised her with Mel B since birth.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Mel B says while she was with Stephen he aggressively tried to drive a wedge between her and Eddie. She says Stephen once took her phone and sent text messages to Eddie's assistant ... and whatever he texted pissed Eddie off enough to cancel a visit with Angel.

She says Stephen's allegation that Eddie has abandoned Angel is BS ... Mel B says Eddie has interacted with Angel numerous times.

Mel B says since Stephen's been out of the picture she's resurrected her relationship with Eddie. He got Angel her first cell phone, Angel named one of her dogs Axel after Eddie's character in "Beverly Hills Cop" and she's plastered pics of the "Shrek" premiere on her bedroom wall.

Mel B says Angel is flourishing now but is terrified of Stephen.

She also says it's laughable that Stephen has bonded with Angel ... she says he confuses Angel for his other daughter, Madison, in his legal docs.

Stormy Daniels and her immediate family aren't letting her showdown with President Trump slow down their daily activities, but she is rolling with oversized protection now.

Stormy was out in her hometown of Dallas on Wednesday with her husband Glendon Crain -- the guy with shades, no sleeves -- and their daughter.

If the ex-porn star seems kinda carefree, probably has a lot to do with the bodyguard -- big, tall, with earbuds -- shadowing her.

Stormy's little girl is the child she referenced on "60 Minutes" when describing the 2011 threat she says she got from a strange guy in Las Vegas. She claims the man said, "That's a beautiful little girl. It'd be a shame if something happened to her mom."

Her lawyer, Michael Avenatti believes the threat can only be traced back to 2 people -- Trump or his attorney, Michael Cohen.

Travis Scott bailed on a concert in Minnesota the night before the Super Bowl, but held onto the cash he was paid in advance for it ... according to a new lawsuit.

An entertainment events company called PJAM claims it paid the rapper $150k upfront -- plus $10k to his booking agent -- to perform at Myth Nightclub near Minneapolis on February 3. According to the docs, PJAM also arranged for a private jet for Travis, and spent a lot of dough promoting the show, but he backed out hours before.

Sources close to Travis told us at the time it was due to weather and logistics, but according to the docs ... PJAM says Scott "refused to show up to the event."

As we reported ... Travis DID make his other scheduled performance later that night in Vegas, and then -- on Super Bowl Sunday -- Kylie Jenner revealed they'd had Stormi a couple days before on February 1.

It's unclear if PJAM thinks Travis bailed due to fatherhood, but it insists the rapper has not paid back the $150k advance. The company also wants damages for the shot to its reputation.

We reached out to Travis ... no word back so far.

Stephen Belafonte has asked a judge to essentially order his daughter into therapy to deprogram her from Mel B's campaign of hate.

Belafonte says Mel B has poisoned 6-year-old Madison with lies about him, making outrageous statements to the child, including putting in her head that Stephen was abusive to her sister, Angel. Belafonte points to a letter purportedly written by Angel saying she was scared of him, but the letter uses adult language such as "witnessing physical abuse," and "attempting to fake sleep." He says Mel B wrote the letter.

He also says it's Mel B's M.O. to alienate children from their fathers. He says during their marriage, she had a consistent plan to alienate her oldest daughter, Phoenix, from her biological father.

Stephen also says Mel B made an outrageous claim that he gave Madison medicine that made her throw up. He says all he gave her was Children's Tylenol.

Stephen wants the judge to order Madison into therapy to shield her from the acrimony surrounding the divorce and presumably deprogram her from what he says are Mel B's lies.

Tommy Lee has changed his tone over his son, Brandon Lee, 'cause he now wants nothing but reconciliation between father and son ... but it may be too late.

Sources close to Tommy tell TMZ he and his fiancee, Brittany Furlan, saw the message Brandon delivered to his father through our photog ... that he loves his dad, and wants to make amends.

We're told that struck a chord with Tommy, to the point that he now simply wants peace with his boy ... and that he's now unsure if he still wants Brandon prosecuted in his looming battery case. As we reported ... the case is being sent to the D.A.'s Office soon.

Even if Tommy does change his mind, it may not be up to him to drop the charges. The decision on whether to prosecute is out of his hands once the case is sent to the D.A.'s desk -- they'll decide whether to move forward or not.

Still, sources say Tommy thought what Brandon said was "very sweet" and that he, of course, loves his son as well.

Stephen Belafonte says he never adopted Eddie Murphy and Mel B's biological daughter because he always thought of himself as her true father, and it never occurred to him.

We got Stephen Monday night at the Sunset Marquis Hotel in WeHo, where he explained why he was still fighting for visitation rights to his stepdaughter, Angel, with Mel in court.

It comes down to this for Stephen ... Angel is his daughter, plain and simple. He says Eddie was never really in the picture, and he never thought he would have to adopt Angel because he would be with Mel forever. As for what went wrong -- besides the divorce -- he's got a label for what he believes Mel pulled in court.

The adorable twins on "Big Little Lies" are already big shots when it comes to negotiating sweet deals in Hollywood.

Cameron and Nicholas Crovetti were barely 7 years old back in 2015 when they each landed their roles on 'BLL' and each scored a $50k payout for season 1 ... this according to docs obtained by TMZ.

Cameron and Nicholas -- now 10 years old -- play Josh and Max Wright ... the twin sons of Nicole Kidman and Alexander Skarsgård's characters. Before landing a role on the hit HBO show, their only other on-screen work had been a brief appearance on "Black-ish."

"Big Little Lies" just started filming season 2, and the twins should know ... it's never too soon to request a massive raise.

Gaten Matarazzo -- who plays curly-haired, potty-mouthed Dustin on the Netflix smash hit "Stranger Things" -- didn't just get a raise for season 3 ... he hit the jackpot.

According to Gaten's original contract, he was scheduled to get a slight salary increase for the upcoming season, much like he did for season 2. The docs, obtained by TMZ, show he was due a bump of slightly less than $1,000 per episode -- from $16,800 to $17,640 per episode in season 3.

Nothing to sneeze at, but according to multiple reports, Gaten and his co-stars renegotiated their deals and will now make between $200 to $250 THOUSAND per episode for season 3!!

Now, we know how sweet a deal it is -- around a 1,200 percent raise ... for a 15-year-old.

Kudos to his agent!

Stephen Belafonte doesn't wear his heart on his sleeve -- he wears his step daughter, Angel ... symbolically, anyway.

We got Stephen outside the Laugh Factory Sunday night in Hollywood and talked to him about his custody battle with Mel B over Eddie Murphy's biological daughter. It's pretty clear Stephen wants to keep his battle in court, but he does show off a tattoo honoring Angel.

Donald Trump Jr. and his estranged wife, Vanessa Trump, might be getting divorced ... but they're clearly spending Spring Break together for the sake of their kids.

DTJ was spotted Sunday at his dad's Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago, with Vanessa and a couple of their 5 children in the pool. You see Vanessa's got her own chair next to her estranged husband's, and even sticks her feet in the water ... looking on as Don plays with the kids.

Eyewitnesses tell us Don and Vanessa showed zero PDA, but they were talking and seemed to be in relatively good moods. He's been posting photos and videos of his kiddos on the golf course enjoying their vacation.

As we reported ... Vanessa filed for divorce a little more than a week ago after nearly 13 years of marriage to the President's son. She's seeking an uncontested proceeding, which signals everything from child custody and property might be hammered out already.

Trump Jr. is said to have had an affair with Aubrey O'Day, who once competed on "The Celebrity Apprentice." We're told she absolutely had a sexual relationship with him during his marriage to Vanessa, but that's not why they're getting divorced.

Charles Lazarus, the man who founded Toys 'R' Us in 1948, has died, just days after the company went belly up.

After Lazarus returned from WWII, he realized quickly the baby boom generation was ripe for a cool, interactive toy superstore. Barbie Dolls, Hula Hoops and Slinkys were all the rage, and he had the idea to create a fun experience for kids and parents.

He experimented with a nondescript children's store, Children's Bargain Town, but then in '57 opened the first Toys 'R' Us in Maryland. Fast-forward ... at its height there were 1,600 stores around the world.

Toys 'R' Us just released a statement ... "There have been many sad moments for Toys'R'Us in recent weeks, and none more heartbreaking than today's news about the passing of our beloved founder, Charles Lazarus. Our thoughts and prayers are with Charles' family and loved ones."

Charles was 94.

RIP
