Kids

Antes de que esta dulce chica con muchas colas de caballo en el pelo se convirtiera en una cantante ganadora del Grammy, ¡solo se aplicaba su lápiz labial rosa y crecía en Londres con grandes sueños de convertirse en una súper estrella!

Sí, los Grammy 2019 fueron una gran victoria para ella, ¡pero REALMENTE "bailó toda la noche" en la entrega de premios de anoche! Aparte de sus habilidades musicales, ha estado aprovechando su lado actoral, apareciendo recientemente en "Barbie" y "Argyle".

Ha colaborado con estrellas de la música como Miley Cyrus y Elton John.

"¡No empieces ahora!"

Rick Harrison's family is starting an education fund for the child of his own late son, but it's not out of necessity ... it's actually to appease friends and fans who want to help.

Here's the deal ... in the wake of Adam Harrison's death last month, the Harrisons have been inundated with pleas from people far and wide who've been asking how they can support in the family's time of need.

A Harrison family rep tells us that Adam's ex-wife, Jennifer, also has had tons of people contacting her asking for ways they can help her in this difficult time.

In light of this influx of people wanting to chip in and provide assistance -- we're told the Harrisons decided to create an outlet where folks can solicit gifts if they feel so inclined ... benefitting Adam and Jennifer's son, Colton. Colton is a young kid in elementary school ... and the fund created will go toward his future educational endeavors.

The rep tells us this seems to be the best way to make sure people's goodwill and charitable efforts are put to the best use.

TMZ broke the story ... Adam tragically died from a fentanyl overdose last month. Adam's father, Rick, told us the fentanyl crisis in our country must be taken more seriously ... as it seems the drug is continuing to flow over the border.

Thousands of fans have sent their condolences to the Harrison family ... including two of Donald Trump's sons, who gave Rick a personal phone call following Adam's passing.

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle are standing behind parents advocating against social media companies ... and they're using a viral Mark Zuckerberg moment to underscore their point.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared a statement on the social media Senate hearings from Wednesday to the Archewell Foundation's website -- showing support for the victims and detailing some of their own experiences speaking to families who've gone through this.

In the statement, PH and MM applauded parents standing up against huge social media companies, and added, "The best parenting in the world cannot keep children safe from these platforms" ... all in all, a fairly fluffy, boilerplate statement from the royal couple.

The big news here ... they picked a shot of Zuck from the hearing yesterday as the huge image above their statement -- a pic that captured MZ's surprise apology to parents and victims of child sex exploitation via social media.

As we reported ... Mark was getting grilled during the committee hearing with Senator Josh Hawley peppering him with questions until Zuck was basically forced to turn around and apologize to the crowd at large.

The crowd held up numerous photographs of victims as Mark apologized and made mention of measures he said Meta's taking to stop any other children from becoming victims.

Well, it seems the Sussexes are clearly on the side of the victims and advocates ... unsurprising given their charitable works to combat sex trafficking and child slavery. Plus, they're parents themselves -- and they have a ton of experience dealing with agitators online to boot.

El príncipe Harry y Meghan Markle están apoyando a los padres que están hablando en contra de las empresas detrás de las redes sociales, y están usando una imagen viral de Mark Zuckerberg para subrayar su punto.

El duque y la duquesa de Sussex compartieron en el sitio web de la Fundación Archewell una declaración sobre las audiencias en el Senado relacionadas con las redes sociales que se hicieron el miércoles, en donde mostraron su apoyo a las víctimas y detallaron algunas de sus propias experiencias hablando con familias que han pasado por esto.

En la declaración, Harry y Meghan aplaudieron a los padres que están en contra de las grandes empresas de redes sociales, y agregaron: "La mejor crianza del mundo no puede mantener a los niños a salvo de estas plataformas", en definitiva, una declaración bastante estándar y suave de la pareja real.

La gran noticia aquí es que eligieron una foto de Zuck en la audiencia de ayer como la imagen destacada de su declaración, una foto que captura la sorpresiva disculpa de Mark a los padres y víctimas de la explotación sexual infantil a través de las redes sociales.

Como informamos, Mark estaba siendo acribillado durante la audiencia del comité con el senador Josh Hawley, bombardeado de preguntas, hasta que Zuck se vio obligado a darse la media vuelta y pedir disculpas frente a la multitud en general.

La audiencia presente estaba sosteniendo diferentes fotografías de las víctimas mientras Mark pedía disculpas y mencionaba las medidas que está tomando Meta para evitar que otros niños se conviertan en víctimas.

Bueno, parece que los Sussex están claramente del lado de las víctimas y defensores, nada sorprendente teniendo en cuenta las obras de caridad que apoyan para combatir el tráfico sexual y la esclavitud infantil. Además, ellos mismos son padres y tienen un montón de experiencia en el trato con los haters en línea.

Shaquille O'Neal values education, and now the legendary big man is making college substantially more affordable ... as American students continue to fall deeper into debt.

O'Neal, along with 29-year-old business partner Tade Oyerinde, talked to TMZ Sports this week about their company, Campus, and its goal to revolutionize 2-year degrees.

Think of Campus, which Oyerinde, now the Chancellor, founded in 2022 ... as an affordable, online community college where students have an opportunity to earn an associate's degree.

Unlike the typical community college experience, Campus' professors come from some of the most prestigious universities, such as Princeton.

O'Neal, who attended LSU, is investing in Campus, joining other high-profile investors like OpenAI founder Sam Altman and billionaire Michael Bloomberg ... as the men throw their money and time behind the concept.

We asked Shaq why he decided to get involved.

"I like to invest in things that are gonna change people's lives, and this will definitely change a person's life. Everyone to be able to have access to world-class education is very important. When I first met Tade he told me 'DFD. I was like, 'What does that mean? Debt-free degrees,'" O'Neal told Babcock.

Of course, student loan debt is a huge problem ... with U.S. students/graduates owing lenders to the tune of $1.7 TRILLION. Campus says they want to stem the bleeding by providing affordable schooling.

Tuition at Campus clocks in at just over $7k for the year ... which pales in comparison to the average cost for a college education.

Mark Zuckerberg está sintiendo la presión en una audiencia del Senado sobre la crisis de la explotación sexual infantil en Internet, levantándose de su asiento para pedirle disculpas a las familias de las víctimas.

El CEO de Meta estaba en medio de su testimonio el miércoles cuando comenzó a ser interrogado por el senador Josh Hawley, que bombardeó Zuck con preguntas muy certeras.

Zuckerberg apenas puede articular una palabra cuando Hawley le pregunta sobre la respuesta de Meta -o la supuesta falta de ella- a la explotación sexual de menores en Internet... y se ve obligado a dar media vuelta y disculparse.

Levantándose de su silla, Zuck hace un giro de 180 grados y se enfrenta a la audiencia, la cual está llena de padres que sostienen fotos de sus hijos que fueron víctimas de los depredadores que utilizan las redes sociales.

Zuckerberg indica que es la primera vez que se disculpa por este tipo de problemas que ocurren en Facebook e Instagram y dice que Meta está tomando medidas para proteger a los niños.

Otros ejecutivos de medios sociales están testificando también, incluyendo a Evan Spiegel de Snapchat, Shou Zi Chew de TikTok, Linda Yaccarino de X y Jason Citron de Discord, pero los momentos más interesantes han sido reservados para Zuck.

Mark Zuckerberg is being roasted at a Senate hearing on the online child sexual exploitation crisis ... getting up from his hot seat to apologize to victims' families.

The Meta CEO was in the middle of his testimony Wednesday on Capital Hill when he started getting grilled by Sen. Josh Hawley, who bombarded Zuck with questions.

Zuckerberg can barely get a word in as Hawley badgers him on Meta's response, or alleged lack thereof, to kids being sexually exploited online ... and he's pretty much forced to turn around and apologize.

Standing up from his chair, Zuck does a 180 and faces the audience ... which is filled with parents holding up photos of their kids who fell victim to predators using social media.

Zuckerberg indicates it's the first time he's apologized for these sorts of issues happening on Facebook and Instagram ... and he says Meta is taking steps to protect kids.

Other social media executives are testifying too ... including Snapchat's Evan Spiegel, TikTok's Shou Zi Chew, X's Linda Yaccarino and Discord's Jason Citron ... but the most interesting moments have been reserved for Zuck.

Before this beautiful baby in her white ruffly dress turned into a talented musician, she was just a wee-little girl growing up in Kansas City during the 80's, writing musicals and preparing to move to the Big Apple.

In 2003, she kicked off her musical career with the release of "The Audition" but she's also ventured into the craft of acting ... most notably known for starring in "Moonlight" alongside Mahershala Ali. She loves a good black and white suit, which she took to the set of "Sesame Street" back in 2014.

Need one more hint? "Make Me Feel!"

Antes de que esta preciosa niña con su vestido blanco de volantes se convirtiera en una talentosa artista, no era más que una niñita que crecía en Kansas City durante los años 80, escribiendo musicales y preparándose para mudarse a la Gran Manzana.

En 2003, dio el pistoletazo de salida a su carrera musical con el lanzamiento de "The Audition", pero también se ha aventurado en el oficio de la interpretación, más conocida por protagonizar "Moonlight" junto a Mahershala Ali. Le encanta lucir un buen traje blanco y negro que llevó al plató en "Plaza Sésamo" allá por 2014.

Lindsay Lohan está extendiendo sus alas por los Estados Unidos últimamente. Hace poco, estuvo en Nueva York para hacer un poco de promoción y ahora está en Georgia, en compañía de su pequeño bebé.

La actriz apareció el lunes en Alpharetta, Georgia, que se encuentra a unos 40 minutos de Atlanta, con su marido Bader Shammas y su bebé Luai. Los tres estaban dando un agradable paseo en su cochecito, con el papá a cargo del coche y LiLo de la merienda.

Si se preguntan qué diablos están haciendo Lindsay y compañía en el estado del sur, les alegrará saber que probablemente tiene que ver con trabajo, en concreto, con una nueva película de Netflix.

Recientemente se anunció que Lindsay protagonizará otra película navideña junto a Kristin Chenoweth, después de haber participado en otra similar para ellos hace un par de años, "Falling for Christmas". ¡Parece que al streamer le gustó su material y la fichó para otra!

Teniendo en cuenta la gran cantidad de películas y espectáculos que se están filmando constantemente en el estado de Georgia, y con "Our Little Secret" ya en producción, es una apuesta casi segura que eso es lo que LiLo está grabando en estos momentos. Por suerte para ella tiene a su familia a su lado, lo que parece ser su nueva norma.

Es interesante, Lindsay normalmente vive en el extranjero en Dubai, pero últimamente ha estado en Estados Unidos por negocios. Como dijimos previamente, hace un par de semanas estuvo en la Gran Manzana para el estreno de la nueva película de "Mean Girls", en la que hizo un breve cameo / aparición.

Lindsay Lohan is spreading her wings in the States lately -- she was just recently in NYC for some promo work -- and now, she's in Georgia ... where her little one is tagging along.

The actress popped up in Alpharetta, GA Monday -- about 40 minutes outside of Atlanta -- where she and her husband, Bader Shammas, were on a nice little walk with their baby boy, Luai, who was chillin' in his stroller ... with dad taking care of push duties, as LiLo snacked.

If you're wondering what the heck Lindsay and co. are doing in the southern state right now -- you might be happy to hear it's likely work-related ... namely, a new Netflix movie.

She was recently announced to star in yet another Christmas flick opposite Kristin Chenoweth -- this after having been in a different Xmas movie for them a couple years back, 'Falling for Christmas.'

Seems the streamer liked her stuff and signed her up for another one! BTW, we recently got Kristin at LAX ... and she had some kind words for Lindsay -- saying she's a pleasure to work with.

Seeing how films/shows are constantly filming in the state of Georgia -- and with 'Our Little Secret' already in production -- it's a safe bet that's exactly what LiLo's shooting right now. Lucky for her, she's got her family right by her side ... which seems to be her new norm.

It's interesting ... Lindsay normally lives abroad in Dubai, but lately -- she's been here in America for business. Like we said up top ... she was just in the Big Apple a couple weeks ago for the premiere of the new 'Mean Girls' ... in which she had a brief cameo/appearance.

Antes de que esta niña rubia y rizada con su camiseta de "La Sirenita" se convirtiera en un icono mundial, no hacía más que ponerse la mochila, esperar a que llegara el autobús escolar en su ciudad natal de Pensilvania y crecer en una granja de árboles de Navidad.

Puede que empezara en conciertos y ferias locales, pero ahora actúa en todo el mundo. Puede que otros músicos famosos escriban sobre ella, ¡pero no se puede negar que sabe cómo triunfar!

¿Necesitas una pista más? ¿Te suena el número 87?

Before this cute, curly blonde kid in her 'Little Mermaid' tee turned into a global icon, she was just throwin' on her backpack, waiting for the school bus to arrive in her hometown of Pennsylvania and growing up on a Christmas tree farm!

She may have gotten her start at local concerts and fairs, but she's parlayed that into performing all across the world! Other famous musicians may write about her, but there's no denying she knows how to shake it off!

Need one more clue? She sure does look good reppin' #87!

Farrah Abraham no está contenta con un proyecto de ley en Florida que prohibiría a los niños el uso de redes sociales, diciendo que la legislación se dirige a las víctimas en lugar de abordar el verdadero problema.

Esta es la cuestión, un nuevo proyecto de ley aprobado por la Cámara de Representantes de Florida pretende prohibir que cualquier persona menor de 16 años pueda tener una cuenta de redes sociales con la esperanza de proteger la salud mental de los niños.

Hablamos con Farrah el viernes y piensa todo lo contrario al proyecto, es decir, que las redes sociales son buenas para los niños y que limitar su acceso podría limitar su creatividad, por no hablar de su identidad e ingresos potenciales.

También le preocupa que bloquear el acceso de los niños a las redes sociales pueda deteriorar su fortaleza mental y su formación, argumentando que encerrar a los niños en una burbuja no les hace ningún favor.

Si los legisladores quieren moderar las redes sociales, Farrah dice que deberían centrarse en los pervertidos que las hacen inseguras. Lo que quiere decir es que los niños, como su hija Sophia, no deberían ser expulsados de la plataforma cuando a los "criminales" que se aprovechan de ellos se les permite andar a sus anchas.

Por ejemplo, dice que a su hija de 14 años, que tiene más de 800.000 seguidores, recibe mensajes de hombres adultos en las redes sociales, y en Cameo le piden fotos de sus pies.

Sugiere que se deberían crear más módulos instructivos en Internet para educar a más niños sobre los peligros de Internet.

Por cierto, Farrah dice que ha tomado cursos de seguridad en línea que realmente la han ayudado y le ha transmitido esas lecciones a Sophia.

Después de hablar con ella, Farrah publicó un video reiterando varios de los puntos que cubrimos sobre cómo hacer que las redes sean más seguras para los niños.

Farrah Abraham's not happy about a proposed bill in Florida that would ban kids from social media, saying the legislation targets victims instead of addressing the real issue.

Here's the deal ... a new bill passed through the Florida House of Representatives Wednesday that will cut off anyone under the age of 16 from getting a social media account with the hope that it will protect kids' mental health.

We talked to Farrah on Friday, and she thinks the total opposite is true -- that social media's great for kids, and limiting their access could limit their creativity ... not to mention affecting their branding and potential income.

She's also worried blocking kids from social media will put a dent in their mental strength and training ... arguing that putting children in a bubble ain't doing them any favors.

If lawmakers want to moderate social media, FA says they should focus on predators who make social media unsafe. Her point is ... kids, like her daughter Sophia, shouldn't be kicked off a platform when the "criminals" preying on children are allowed to run rampant.

For instance, she says her 14-year-old -- who has more than 800k followers -- gets DM'd by grown men on social media, and on Cameo they ask her for feet pics.

She suggests instructional online modules should be created to educate more kids on Internet dangers.

FWIW, Farrah says she's taken online safety courses which have really helped her, and she's passed those lessons on to Sophia.

After we spoke to her, Farrah posted a video reiterating several of the points we covered about making social media safer for kids.

Teyana Taylor says Iman Shumpert's playing dirty in their divorce war, claiming he's slowly shutting down all the utilities in the home where she lives with their 2 children ... TMZ Hip Hop has learned.

In a new court filing, Teyana's attorney says she woke up this month in the Georgia home they used to share, only to discover the WiFi and cable was cut off, and one day later, the water stopped running ... and she's fully laying blame on Iman.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, Iman moved out back in October, and shortly thereafter, Iman's brother -- who handles his personal affairs -- told Teyana, Iman intended to shut off the power.

Since then, she claims Iman hasn't paid a cent of child support, or covered any of the kids' expenses ... including food and clothing costs.

With the water, cable and WiFi now gone, Teyana's attorney says they're concerned he's going to follow through and cut off the gas and electricity.

On top of that, Teyana claims Iman left her holding the bag on $200K worth of home renovations he started 3 years ago.

In the docs, she says Iman told her his money is tied up in investments, and proposed she cover the cost and he would reimburse her -- but she's yet to see a penny from him.

Mind you, it's not like Teyana can't afford to turn on any utilities that get shut off -- she's clearly got the cash to handle that, but her attorney's court filing makes it clear ... this is about holding Iman accountable.

Since their divorce is pending, Teyana's attorney points out the court put a standing order in place ... meaning both parties are supposed to maintain the status quo on their home and finances until the divorce is finalized.
