Iggy Azalea It's Her Own Fault She Missed Her flight, Says Airport Staff

Published

Iggy Azalea claims American Airlines stranded her and her baby, but that might not be the whole truth ... at least, according to airport staff.

Airline sources tell TMZ ... the "Fancy" rapper showed up at the airport at 5:30 PM for a 6:00 PM flight. We're told, she was able to check her bags and go through security, but someone in her party got held up going through TSA.

Our sources say boarding ended 15 minutes before departure ... leaving Iggy and co. only 15 minutes to check baggage, get through security and get to the gate. And, when she finally reached the gate, the door had already closed.

As for her baggage, we're told it made it on the plane and will be sent to her home.

Of course, this is a bit different than Iggy's side of the story. In a series of tweets, she voiced her frustration, claiming the airline stranded her and her baby ... selling their seats while the gate was still open. And, don't get her started about her luggage.

She warned other families not to fly American Airlines, and other folks began to chime in and show their sympathy and share similar stories.

We reached out to American Airlines and they had no comment.

ON DADDY DUTY

Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston seem to have an unbreakable bond ... so much so, Aaron says choosing his newborn kid's godfather was a no-brainer.

We caught up with Aaron Wednesday at LAX and asked about him naming his best friend and "Breaking Bad" costar godfather to his newest addition, baby Ryden.

Aaron says Bryan's a beautiful man who's more than deserving of the title he and his wife bestowed on Cranston.

As far as what it takes to be a godfather, Aaron tells us Bryan's gonna be on diaper duty ... and don't get him started on burping little Ryden.

Of course, it's no surprise ... Bryan and Aaron are partners in crime on and off-screen ... nice to see the longtime friends grow tighter through each milestone.

In case you didn't know, Aaron and his wife, Lauren Paul, tied the knot back in 2013. They became first-time parents in 2018, when they gave birth to their daughter, Story Annabelle Paul.

They welcomed their second child and only son, Ryden Caspian Paul, this month ... and we already know he, too, will be in really good hands.

Guess Who This Mighty-Might Baller Turned Into!

Published

Before this mini-footballer with dirty blonde hair turned into a well-known actor and all around great guy, he was just another youthful boy playing with the ol' pigskin growing up in Vancouver, Canada.

This young thing may be a big time actor, but he's taken on other ventures and owns multiple companies ... one being a mobile company. Even though he is known for his boy next door roles, he has also shown off his comedic and superhero skills.

If you're still waiting for the answer to come to you ... you may have to take a van wilder approach.

Can you guess who he is?

Prince Harry Dishes on Face-to-Face w/ Queen ... Rift with Bro Will Clear

Published

Prince Harry says all is well between him and his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, but it's quite clear he isn't cool with his brother, William and his dad ... evidenced in a new interview.

The Duke of Sussex opened up with Hoda Kotb on 'Today' during his visit to the Netherlands for the Invictus Games -- and whereas he was cagey with the BBC, PH actually spilled the tea to NBC ... giving details about his meeting with QE2 and where things stand elsewhere.

Watch ... Harry says the face-to-face with grandma -- for which his wife, Meghan Markle, was also present -- went well ... the 3 of them, it seems, had a good time while catching up.

my mom's with me now

But, Harry also made eye-opening revelations -- including the fact that the UK doesn't feel like home to him, and more importantly ... he isn't sure he'll attend Liz's 96th birthday.

On the sibling front ... Hoda asked straight up whether PH misses his bro and his dad, Charles, but Harry completely dodges the question -- saying he misses his own family, and noting that his focus at the moment was there for the Games.

Later in the same interview, Hoda again tried getting Harry to address Will by invoking their late mother, Princess Diana, and once more ... he made it seem like he and his brother led different lives now and he very much so wanted to differentiate between himself and PW.

He says he feels his mom's spirit with him right now more than ever before ... apparently alluding to the fact that his life is no longer in England. Very interesting choice of words.

BTW, Harry's got some great bites here about his son, Archie, who sounds sorta rebellious at the moment -- but the dark cloud of his extended family hovers over this interview throughout.

Devin Booker Fist Bumps Toddler After Tough Shot ... Baby Dap!!!

Published | Updated

Devin Booker turned the toughest shot in the Suns' playoff game Tuesday night into the cutest ... dapping up a baby to celebrate a wild make!!!

The Phoenix star's adorable interaction with the courtside toddler happened after he drilled a stepback jumper to end the first quarter of the Suns vs. Pelicans game.

Booker dribbled to get some space and knocked down a 2-pointer before the buzzer sounded ... and then he fist bumped a toddler!

The scene was super sweet, Booker was gentle with the baby's little knuckles -- and, his own girlfriend, Kendall Jenner, appeared to love it all too!!

KJ posted video of her view of the play on IG -- seemingly enjoying every second of it.

Unfortunately for Booker ... his night took a turn for the worse about two quarters later -- because in the third, he injured his hamstring and couldn't return to action.

The Suns went on to lose without the star, 125-114 ... and there's now big concern in Phoenix about his availability for the rest of the playoffs.

Missing Autistic Teen Video of Cops Finding Him ... Parents' Emotional Reaction

Published | Updated

The autistic teenager who was found after he went missing for 3 years was freezing his butt off in Utah when cops stumbled upon him ... a moment you can now see on video.

19-year-old Connerjack Oswalt was discovered earlier this month by Summit County Sheriff's deputies in Park City, where he was sitting outside a closed liquor store within a gas station in the dead of night ... shivering by himself and looking helpless.

As you can see, the officers approached him carefully and eventually took him to their car to warm up -- trying to figure out where his shopping cart had gone. Apparently, residents in the area had reported Oswalt before ... and he was on the Sheriff's Dept.'s radar.

The deputies scanned the guy's fingertips and that's where their search for his true identity began. Suspecting there might've been more to his story, they started running different searches ... finding that he'd run into some trouble in Nevada before landing in Utah.

They also perused missing children databases ... and before long, the Sheriff's Dept. realized he'd been reported out of Northern California dating back to 2019.

THE EMOTIONAL PHONE CALL

After some time, they got in touch with his parents ... and Oswalt's stepfather drove all the way down from Idaho Falls -- where the family has since moved -- to make an in-person ID ... that moment, too, was captured on police body cam. Safe to say, it's emotional.

The stepdad, Gerald Flint, has Oswalt's biological mother, Suzanne, on the phone -- and after he realizes it's their kid -- she starts to break down on the other end ... sobbing.

Oswalt is said to be receiving care and is due to reunite with his family soon. Wild story, and one with a very happy ending for once.

Annual Easter Bonnet Parade Big Hats & Wild Outfits Galore ... NYers Spring Into Action

Published

It's Easter again, and New Yorkers were itching to get out and be festive after a couple years of pandemic fatigue -- an occasion for which they did not disappoint at all.

Scores of people poured into the streets of NYC Sunday to celebrate the holiday as part of the annual Easter Parade/Bonnet Festival ... extra emphasis on that last part. The hats worn were big and wild ... as were a lot of their getups, which reflected the Spring season.

One lady was rockin' a huge teacup bonnet, and another had one on that cradled a bird nest up top with some colored eggs. Others wore masks -- both bird and bunny themed -- and there wasn't left to the imagination in costumes and designs.

Even the pets were getting in on the fun ... with dogs dressed from ear to tail in Easter wear.

BTW, normie NYC dwellers weren't the only ones in the spirit to celebrate Easter -- Hollywood's rich and famous were also in the mood to get decked out on Sunday.

Some of the stars who were in their Easter Sunday best included ... Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani, Reese Witherspoon, Robert Downey Jr., Kris Jenner, John Travolta, Ashley Tisdale -- just to name a few.

Easter's usually seen as something you really get into for the kids -- among the non-religious, that is --  but even the adults can have fun ... as we clearly see in New York and beyond.

Happy Easter, everyone!

Missing Autistic Teen Found Safe In Utah, After 2-year Search

Published | Updated

A missing California teenager with autism remarkably has been found safe in Utah ... after his family has been on a two-year search.

19-year-old Connerjack Oswalt went missing from Northern California when he was 16 ... and his family has been searching for him ever since.

Park City locals spotted him pushing a shopping cart around the area recently and deputies have encountered him, but say he never showed signs of aggression or criminal behavior.

Cops then got a hot tip Connerjack was sleeping outside of a store in Summit County, Utah last week and they beelined it for the area on a hunch. Authorities say they found him cold and shivering.

Apparently, Connerjack did not tell officers his name and they were only able to identify him with the help of a finger scan. The scan linked him to a warrant out of Nevada ... so authorities continued to investigate, figuring there was more to the story.

Police were able to warm him up in the car and search for his name in the Missing and Exploited children database ... lo and behold they found the listing for him.

Connerjack has been reunited with his family.

Guess Who This Singing Star Turned Into!

Before this young chick behind the mic turned into an actress and a Grammy award-winning singer and songwriter, she was just a girl with big goals and even bigger dreams from Murrieta, California.

This cute kid got her start being in an Old Navy commercial, which eventually landed her prominent roles on Disney Channel ... a full circle moment considering her idols growing up were fellow Disney stars Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato.

Iggy Azalea Not Only Don't You Pay My Bills, Playboi Carti ... I Had to Cease Contact

Published | Updated

Iggy Azalea stopped short of a Twitter meltdown in reaction to Playboi Carti's claims in a new interview.

The New Zealand-born rapper, who shares a 2-year-old son with Playboi Carti, reacted to his claims that he paid her bills and took care of her.

Carti -- who's gearing up for the follow-up to his 2020 Billboard-topping album, Whole Lotta Red -- rarely does interviews but is on the cover of the new XXL magazine and gave Iggy Iggz plenty of props as a mother.

But, what really set her off was when Playboi Carti insinuated he paid her bills ... and the bombshell revelation their verbal communication ended because she claims Carti speaks so extremely badly to her.

The unfortunate twist is fans have seen this before. When Carti was poised to get the Billboard crown with WLR circa Christmas 2020, Iggy Azalea played the role of the Grinch in Vampville by outing him for spending more time with a mistress than his then newborn son.

Look for Carti's new album Music to help straighten out the facts. Maybe.

Khloe Kardashian Oops, Caught Me Photoshopping True!!! 'I F***ed up' on Disney Pics

Published | Updated

Khloe Kardashian knows she told on herself when she mistakenly revealed she's guilty of photoshopping her daughter into Disneyland photos -- something the Internet dragged her for months ago.

That's right. Khloe had to cop to deceiving folks about True being at Disneyland with her cousin Chicago back in January. She wrote, "Welllppp I f**ked this one up. Anyways….. let’s focus on something else 😂 ".

Of course, she had no choice but to come clean after posting a video Tuesday, saying True was at Disneyland for the first time to celebrate her 4th birthday.

DISNEY DAY TRIP!

Fans quickly recalled Kim Kardashian posting a pic of her daughter, Chi and True at Disneyland back in December 2021. So, it wouldn't have been True's first time if that December shot was real.

The pic looked fishy from the jump ... fans called out the pretty obvious photoshopping.

Turns out, the photo was taken in December, but it was actually Kylie's daughter, Stormi with Chi.

Of course, the question now is why it was necessary to go to such lengths to photoshop True??? It's a damn good question, but so far the fam ain't talking.

Dennis Quaid and Ex-Wife We Modified Child Custody Agreement ... 2 Weeks On, 2 Weeks Off

Published | Updated

Dennis Quaid and his ex-wife, Kimberly, are switching up how they take care of their kids ... and now it's a more even split.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Dennis and Kimberly agreed to a 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off schedule for child custody ... with each parent getting their twins for 2 weeks at a time and then swapping.

In the docs, the actor's ex says if Dennis can't take care of the twins for some reason, she will look after them and Dennis will pay her $225 per child for every day he misses.

As we first reported ... the 2018 divorce agreement with Kimberly called for her to get the lion's share of physical custody -- 75 percent.

The twins are 14 and will be starting high school in the fall, but will be going to different schools, so Dennis and Kimberly hammered out a plan to get the kids where they need to go.

The docs say Dennis will pay for a nanny to take the kids to school when Kimberly has the kids, and if the nanny is unavailable on any given day, Dennis is responsible for hiring another caretaker to drive the kids to school and foot the bill.

The twins were born at Cedars-Sinai in 2007 but faced a serious medical emergency. The nurses at the hospital accidentally gave them 10,000 units of a drug when they were supposed to receive a dose of 10 units. They survived the overdose and the Quaids received a $750,000 settlement from the hospital.

'The Kardashians' Kim Stresses Over Sex Tape Rumors ... Saint Sees Ad Touting It!!!

Published | Updated

Kim Kardashian's sex tape troubles are bubbling up all over again on her new reality show -- only this time, her kid's in the loop ... and it's causing a lot of on-screen drama.

There's a scene in which Kim frets over her 6-year-old boy, Saint, who asked her about a pop-up ad he stumbled upon touting alleged unseen footage from her days with Ray J.

Saint questions her about it and it sends Kim and co. into a frenzy, where she freaks out/phones attorneys, demanding they stay on top of it and threatening legal action against those who might leak any would-be unearthed material that may or may not exist.

Kim says she's about "99.9 sure" there isn't anything else out there -- but clearly, she's worried enough about the prospect of a leak to get all riled up.

Funny enough, this is exactly how their old E! show started way back when ... the series started filming shortly on the heels of her infamous sex tape -- the one that definitely exists -- leaking to the public ... and some say this scene is deja vu, only now with her children.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

What's interesting ... Kim is super concerned her kids might learn about all the sex tape drama online, but she's talking about that very thing on the new Hulu series, which then sparks more conversation and makes it more likely her kids will learn about it.

As for any unreleased tape, Kim tells her attorneys in the premiere she's willing to sue over any unreleased footage that might exist/leak, or against anyone who resurfaces her actual sex tape ... and she's pretty emotional. She even calls Kanye in the scene to vent.

As we reported ... Kim's legal team tore into Wack 100 for suggesting there was, in fact, extra footage that Ray was in possession of. Ye himself had to get involved by retrieving an old laptop from RJ ... even though we've been told there's nothing compromising on it.

Like we said, it has seemed that, up until now, Kim and her team firmly believed there isn't another tape out there -- but based on her reaction in this episode ... maybe they're not entirely certain.
