Kids

Antes de que esta dulce niña de Jericho, Nueva York, se dedicara a cantar y escribir canciones, ya ganaba concursos de modelos, aparecía en las portadas de las revistas y soñaba con convertirse en una estrella.

Justin Bieber, vio en ella el poder de las estrellas cuando se topó con su versión de "At Last" en 2012. Ha actuado en festivales de música como Lollapalooza y apareció en la canción de David Guetta "Blame It On Love".

Obviamente, solía ser una niña adorable, pero ahora es lo suficientemente mayor como para tomarse una cerveza.

Amanda Bynes surfaced for the first time in public following Drake Bell's child molestation claims against a former professional mentor ... and she's got quite the new look.

The ex-Nickelodeon child star emerged Friday for the first time since her former 'Amanda Show' costar set the stage to level some serious allegations against Brian Peck, in a new documentary that'll air his story for the first time ever.

People have wondered whether Amanda herself would be part of this doc -- "Quiet on Set" -- since it touches on a lot of former child stars during Nickelodeon's heyday ... which is why this sighting of her out and about in L.A. is so interesting.

As you can see ... Amanda's sporting a colorful hairdo here -- namely, blonde on top with blue extensions. It's certainly a unique style -- and kinda in line with how she's rockin' lately.

Amanda has obviously been out of the spotlight for years now -- although these days, she's shown signs of putting herself out there again ... through podcasts and other ventures. Of course, with this Nickelodeon doc coming out ... many have wondered if she'd come forward to make allegations of her own, but so far -- there's no indication she's set to speak out.

Drake, on the other hand, is prepared to break his silence ... which is huge in itself.

Remember, he starred on "The Amanda Show" from 1999 to 2002 before getting his own Nickelodeon show in 2004 ... and he's among the former child stars who are going to speak out in the doc.

The network says Drake will make claims against Peck, who worked on "The Amanda Show" and "Drake & Josh" as a dialogue coach.

Peck pled no contest in 2004 to performing a lewd act with a 14- or 15-year-old and to oral copulation with a minor under 16 ... and when the doc comes out later this month, Drake is expected to allege he was one of Peck's victims from that case.

Drake remained anonymous for decades ... but now he, and others, are speaking out about the bad things that allegedly happened during their Nickelodeon days.

Peck's worked on countless children's shows through the years -- including Amanda's, BTW -- and recently, some "Boy Meets World" stars said in hindsight they regret their affiliation with him back in the day. Yes, he was hobnobbing with kid actors in those days too.

Amanda's been mum on the whole subject thus far ... and it's unclear what message she's trying to send with this fashion statement, if any.

Brittany Mahomes is proving she's just as tough as her NFL star hubby ... pushing through a fractured back to make sure she and her fam have fun on their Mexico vacation.

The 28-year-old was spotted hittin' the beaches of Los Cabos on Thursday afternoon ... looking no worse for wear despite dealing with a painful ailment.

Brittany -- in a two-piece, green bikini -- was seen building sandcastles with her 3-year-old daughter and another child ... lugging around shovels and pales for the kiddos, ensuring they all enjoyed their day in the sun.

Britt -- who revealed Wednesday she's got a back injury that appeared to stem from her two pregnancies -- seemed to be moving around OK ... fluffing towels and playing with some water while getting dirty in the sand.

Then again, the mom of Sterling and Bronze might have had a little liquid help to manage it all -- as she was seen with an orange-colored cocktail in her hand.

Patrick, of course, was there to provide assistance too ... the Chiefs star was seen taking care of the tykes after they put a pause on their beach day.

Drake Bell's alleged abuser, Brian Peck, was seen for the first time in public since an explosive documentary trailer suggested he'll be accused of molesting the ex-child star.

Brian -- who worked as Drake's dialogue coach on "Drake & Josh" in the early '00s, and who's worked on countless children's shows through the years -- surfaced this week in L.A. as he tried covering up from the rain, using a blue puffer jacket while exiting a vehicle.

The showbiz veteran kept the jacket over his head as he made his way inside his home. Looks like he wanted to make it inside pretty quickly -- as he carried his keys in his mouth and darted into the house.

This would mark the first sighting of the guy since Drake revealed he'll tell his story on the ID doc 'Quiet on Set' ... in which he's expected to claim he was a victim in Peck's criminal case from 2004, when he was convicted of performing a lewd act with a 14 or 15-year-old and oral copulation with a minor under 16.

Unclear if Drake will allege both of these counts pertained to him ... or if someone else was in the mix. In any case -- this will be the first time Drake has spoken about this publicly.

Brian was sentenced to 16 months in prison and had to register as a sex offender. He's continued to work in Hollywood since that whole ordeal ... with a crap ton of credits under his name post-2004, including recognizable shows and movies.

Drake isn't the only former child star to speak out against Brian ... "Boy Meets World" alum Maitland Ward even told TMZ in February that she was always suspicious of him when he worked on her show, which also starred Rider Strong and Will Friedle.

Rider and Will acknowledged their relationship with Brian was odd -- sharing that they previously came to his defense because they believed his story about falling victim to "jail bait." Worth noting, they never alleged he'd done anything inappropriate with them.

La escuela secundaria de Oklahoma que está bajo la lupa por permitir que sus estudiantes lamieran los pies de sus compañeros en el marco de una recaudación de fondos, al parecer no estaba sola, ¡acaban de aparecer videos de otra escuela que estaba haciendo lo mismo!

Nuevos clips están circulando en las redes que muestran a los estudiantes de la escuela vecina Edmond-North High, justo al final de la calle, chupando los dedos de los pies de otras personas en videos que se remontan al 2015.

No solo eso, resulta que estos muestran a los estudiantes lamiendo las axilas también.

Estos videos sugieren que Deer Creek High -la primera escuela donde se destapó esta información- no era la única institución educativa en la ciudad que estaba participando en estas extrañas actividades.

La gente que ha estado siguiendo la historia sigue en pie de guerra con todo el asunto, etiquetando lo ocurrido de repugnante y de estar mucho más allá de lo inapropiado.

Deer Creek High negó que se haya cometido algún delito y dijo en un comunicado que los estudiantes se ofrecieron a hacer esta actividad e insistieron en que ningún miembro de la facultad estuvo involucrado. Lo que sí podemos decir, es que el truco de lamer ha demostrado ser una muy eficaz para recaudar fondos, pues la escuela afirma haber reunido más de $150K para una organización benéfica local cuando se hizo el evento.

The Oklahoma high school under fire for a fundraiser that had students licking their peers' toes apparently wasn't alone  ... videos of another high school doing the same have surfaced.

New clips have started to make the rounds online that show students from a neighboring high school right down the street -- Edmond-North High -- that show their own pupils using their mouths to slurp up peanut butter off the feet of others ... with videos going back to 2015.

Not just this ... but as it turns out, these videos show students licking up armpits as well.

These videos suggest Deer Creek High -- the original school that was revealed to have done this -- wasn't the only educational institution in town that was partaking in the bizarre activity.

Folks who've been following this story continue to be up in arms over the situation -- labeling the whole thing disgusting and going well beyond inappropriate.

Deer Creek High previously denied any wrongdoing ... saying in a statement that students volunteered to do this activity and insisting no faculty members were involved. FWIW, the licking stunt has proven to be an effective fundraising tool -- as the school claims to have raised more than $150K for a local charity when they did this.

The answer is probably no for Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters -- who has launched an investigation, while vowing to clean up the "filth" in Oklahoma schools. Sounds like he might need to make the rounds and talk to all of the schools in his local area.

A Mahomes is dealing with a significant injury -- but it's not the one who gets tackled by 300-pound linemen weekly -- no, it's actually Patrick's wife, Brittany, who revealed this week she's suffering from a fractured back.

The mother of two announced the diagnosis on her Instagram page on Wednesday ... appearing to say not taking care of her body properly following two pregnancies led to the ailment.

"Just your daily reminder," she wrote in an IG story, "once you have kids please take care of your pelvic floor. Seriously."

"From: a girl with a fractured back," she added.

Brittany didn't disclose any further details about the situation ... but she seems to be handling it well despite the apparent severity of things -- even joking that a vacation with her hubby and her children "will maybe make it better?"

Brittany and Patrick welcomed their first child, Sterling, into the world back in February 2021. Nearly two years later, in November 2022, she gave birth to the couple's first son, Bronze.

Before this stylish New Jersey native turned into a talented singer and actress, she was just listening to the radio, landing TV commercials for Wendy's and heading off to Los Angeles with big dreams at just 13 years old.

Her popular song "Dip It Low" hit the top of the Billboard Charts back in 2004, so while she may be most known for her singing skills, don't count her out from acting ... She starred in "Love Don't Cost A Thing" with Nick Cannon.

"Dip it low, pick it up slow, roll it all around..."

Antes de que esta estilosa nativa de Nueva Jersey se convirtiera en una talentosa cantante y actriz, solo escuchaba la radio, protagonizaba anuncios de televisión para Wendy's y se marchaba a Los Ángeles con grandes sueños cuando tenía apenas 13 años.

Su popular canción "Dip It Low" llegó a lo más alto de las listas Billboard en 2004, así que, aunque sea más conocida por sus dotes como cantante, no hay que descartar su faceta como actriz... Protagonizó "Love Don't Cost A Thing" con Nick Cannon.

"Sumérgelo, levántalo despacio, hazlo rodar...".

Antes de que Garrison Brown se quitara la vida esta semana, Janelle Brown había enviado a uno de sus hijos para chequear si su hermano estaba bien y la razón por la que lo hizo tuvo que ver con sus últimos mensajes de textos.

De acuerdo con el informe de la policía obtenido por TMZ, los policías dicen que hablaron con la estrella de "Sister Wives" el martes luego de enterarse de que Garrison se había disparado, y describieron lo que Janelle calificó como mensajes preocupantes de parte de Garrison, que había estado enviando a algunas personas el día anterior.

La policía explica que Janelle les dijo que Garrison había enviado mensajes de texto a un grupo de personas con las que trabajaba la familia Brown, presumiblemente como parte de su programa, y sus palabras fueron siniestras.

Según Janelle, a través de la policía, el texto que les envió decía: "Quiero odiarte por compartir los buenos momentos. Pero no puedo. Extraño esos días".

Parece que Janelle se enteró de este mensaje a través del grupo, donde al parecer no estaba incluida, y le dijo a la policía que luego le envió un mensaje de texto directamente a Garrison y tuvieron una breve conversación antes de que dejara de responderle.

Luego Janelle se puso en contacto con sus otros hijos para ver quién podía ir a verlo y su hermano Gabriel se ofreció a hacerlo. Lamentablemente, en el momento en que llegó a Flagstaff, su hermano estaba muerto.

Esto es lo más loco de todo: los policías entrevistaron a 3 de los compañeros de cuarto de Garrison con quienes vivía en ese momento, y algunos de ellos dijeron que escucharon un estallido la noche del lunes, pero no creyeron que fuera un disparo y ninguno de ellos fue a chequear con Garrison si algo había pasado.

No fue hasta que Gabriel llegó a la escena el martes que descubrió a su hermano muerto y sosteniendo un arma de fuego. Llamó al 911, y fue entonces cuando los compañeros de cuarto dicen que se dieron cuenta de que Garrison se había quitado la vida.

Los compañeros de cuarto dicen que Garrison era conocido en la casa por batallar con el alcohol. Gabriel, por su parte, dijo que no se dio cuenta de que algo andaba mal con su hermano, señalando que recientemente había aceptado un nuevo trabajo en un centro médico y parecía estar bien por su cuenta.

Una última cosa, Janelle le dijo a la policía que Garrison estaba distanciado de su padre, Kody. Fuimos los primeros en contarles: Garrison murió el martes a causa de una herida de bala autoinfligida. Tenía 25 años.

Que en paz descanse.

Janelle Brown sent one of her sons to check on his brother before Garrison Brown took his own life this week -- and the reason she did that had to do with his final texts.

According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, cops say they spoke with the "Sister Wives" star Tuesday upon word that Garrison had shot himself ... and they describe what Janelle says were troubling messages Garrison had been sending to some people the day prior.

The police explain that Janelle told them Garrison had texted a group of people that the Brown family works with -- presumably as part of their show -- and his words were ominous.

According to Janelle, via the police, his text to them read ... "I want to hate you for sharing the good times. But I can't. I miss these days."

It sounds like Janelle caught wind of this message to the group -- which doesn't appear to have included her -- and she told police she then texted Garrison himself ... at which point she says they had a brief conversation for a few minutes before he stopped responding.

Janelle then contacted her other kids to see who could go check on Garrison, and his brother Gabriel volunteered. Sadly, by the time he arrived to Flagstaff ... his brother had died.

Here's the craziest part ... cops interviewed 3 of Garrison's roommates with whom he was living at the time -- and some of them said they heard a pop on Monday night ... but didn't think it was a gunshot, and none of them even checked on Garrison to see what happened.

As it turns out, it wasn't until Gabriel arrived on the scene Tuesday that he discovered his brother was dead -- and that he was holding a handgun. He called 911, and that's when the roommates say they realized Garrison had taken his own life.

The roommates say Garrison was known in the household to struggle with alcohol. Gabriel, meanwhile, said he didn't realize something was amiss with this sibling -- noting he'd recently taken on a new job at a medical facility and seemed to be doing okay on his own.

One last thing ... Janelle told cops Garrison was estranged from his father, Kody. We broke the story ... Garrison died Tuesday from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was 25.

RIP

2:34 PM PT -- Janelle Brown acaba de abordar la muerte de su hijo Garrison en redes sociales, donde publicó una foto de su hijo con el mensaje: "Kody y yo estamos profundamente tristes de anunciar la pérdida de nuestro hermoso niño Robert Garrison Brown. Él era una luz en la vida de todos los que lo conocían".

Y añade: "Su pérdida dejará un hueco tan grande en nuestras vidas que nos deja sin aliento. Les pedimos que por favor respeten nuestra privacidad y se unan a nosotros para honrar su memoria".

El hijo de Janelle Brown, Garrison, ha muerto y parece que su muerte se debe a un aparente suicidio, según ha averiguado TMZ.

La estrella de "Sister Wives", que ha aparecido junto a su madre y su padre, Kody Brown, en la exitosa serie de TLC en los últimos años, falleció el martes en Flagstaff, Arizona, donde tenía su propia casa después de haberse alejado de su familia.

La policía de Flagstaff nos dice que los oficiales llegaron a la casa de Garrison el martes por la mañana debido a una muerte y cuando llegaron lo descubrieron sin vida en la escena. Nos dicen que Garrison parece haber sufrido una herida de bala autoinfligida.

Nos dicen que no se sospecha de crimen violento y por ahora la policía está investigando el suceso como un aparente suicidio. La policía de la ciudad dice que el hermano de Garrison, Gabriel, llegó a la casa y lo encontró allí. No se sabe si dejó una nota, una investigación está en marcha.

Garrison ha aparecido en "Sister Wives" desde que se emitió por primera vez en 2010, cuando era solo un niño. La serie narra el estilo de vida polígamo de su padre Kody, quien tiene múltiples esposas. Janelle fue una de ellas hasta que se divorciaron el año pasado.

En cuanto a Garrison, él es uno de los muchos hijos de Kody, y tiene varios hermanos y medios hermanos, muchos de los cuales también aparecen en el programa. En total, es el cuarto hijo de Kody y Janelle. Tiene 5 hermanos directos y otros dos hermanastros de diferentes matrimonios.

Al principio, él y su familia vivieron en Utah, pero con el tiempo se trasladaron a Las Vegas, y cuando llegó a la mayoría de edad mostró interés en alistarse en las fuerzas armadas. Aunque quería alistarse en el Ejército, acabó haciéndolo en la Guardia Nacional.

Garrison se fue de la casa de sus padres hace unos años, durante la pandemia, en medio de una gran disputa familiar sobre el COVID y las estrictas normas que Kody imponía.

Al final, Garrison terminó comprando su propia casa en Arizona y ha vivido allí desde 2021. El tipo era bastante activo en las redes sociales, documentando su vida y sus mascotas.

Su última publicación en Instagram lo mostraba con un nuevo gato al que había dado la bienvenida en su casa, un felino que llamó Sra. Buttons. La describió de esta manera: "La nueva incorporación de mi hogar, la Sra. Buttons. Tiene 9 años y estaba en la fila de la eutanasia, pero mi complejo de salvador no pudo ser suficiente".

Es una tragedia absoluta para sus seres queridos, especialmente para Janelle, que acaba de anunciar que recientemente experimentó un susto de cáncer y tuvo que someterse a la extirpación de dos manchas precancerosas.

A Garrison le sobreviven muchos familiares y seres queridos. Solo tenía 25 años.

Que en paz descanse.

2:34 PM PT -- Janelle Brown just addressed Garrison's death, taking to social media to post a photo of her boy and writing ... "Kody and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown. He was a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him."

She adds, "His loss will leave such a big hole in our lives that it takes our breath away. We ask that you please respect our privacy and join us in honoring his memory."

Janelle Brown's son, Garrison, has died ... and it appears his death is a suicide, TMZ has learned.

The "Sister Wives" star -- who's appeared alongside his mother and father, Kody Brown, on the hit TLC series over the years -- passed away Tuesday in Flagstaff, AZ ... where he had his own home after having moved away from his family.

Flagstaff PD tells us ... officers responded to Garrison's home Tuesday morning on a report of a death, and when they arrived -- they discovered him dead at the scene. We're told Garrison appears to have suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

We're told no foul play is suspected, and for now ... police are looking into this as an apparent suicide. FPD says Garrison's brother Gabriel arrived at the house and found him there. No word on whether a note was left behind ... we're told an investigation is underway.

Garrison has appeared on "Sister Wives" since it first aired on the network way back in 2010 -- when he was just a kid. The series chronicles his dad's polygamous lifestyle in Utah, where Kody has multiple wives ... Janelle was one of them until they got divorced last year.

As for Garrison ... he's one of Kody's many children, and has several siblings and half-siblings -- many of whom are also featured on the show. All in all, he's Kody and Janelle's fourth child. He has 5 direct siblings, and two other half-siblings from different marriages.

While he and his family lived in Utah at first, they eventually moved to Vegas -- and as he came of age, Garrison showed an interest in enlisting in the armed services. While he wanted to join the Army ... Garrison ended up signing up for the National Guard.

Garrison moved out of his parents' house a few years ago during the pandemic -- this amid a massive feud within the family over COVID and the strict rules Kody was enforcing.

In the end, Garrison ended up buying his own home in Arizona and has lived there since 2021. The guy was pretty active on social media as well ... documenting his life and pets.

His last post on Instagram features him with a new cat he said he'd welcomed into the household ... a feline he called Ms. Buttons. He described the cat this way, "Newest edition to my home, Ms Buttons. She’s 9 years old and was on the line for euthanasia but my savior complex couldn’t suffice."

It's an absolute tragedy for his loved ones -- especially for Janelle, who just announced she recently experienced a cancer scare and had to have two pre-cancerous spots removed.

Garrison is survived by many family members and loved ones. He was only 25.

RIP

Antes de que esta pequeña adorable se convirtiera en una popular cantante e intérprete, de niña ya cantaba y tocaba el piano en Houston, Texas, junto a su famosa amiga.

Esta chica talentosa ha tenido motivación desde el primer día, y realmente despuntó a finales de los 90 y principios de los 2000 con su grupo femenino. A lo largo de los años ha dejado algunos temazos, y subió al escenario para cantar "Single Ladies" durante el espectáculo del Super Bowl.

¡Es una superviviente!

Before this cute kid in her fancy dress turned into a popular singer and performer, she was just putting her vocals on full display as a child and playing the piano while growing up in Houston, Texas alongside her famous bestie.

This talented gal has had motivation since day one, and she really popped off in the late 90s - early 2000s with her all-girl group. She's definitely dropped some bangers through the years and was iconically brought on stage to slay some Single Ladies during the Super Bowl halftime show.

She's a survivor!

Jenelle Evans quiere separarse de su marido David Eason, TMZ ha confirmado.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo nos dicen que la ex estrella de "Teen Mom" recientemente presentó documentos judiciales en Carolina del Norte, señalando su intención de separarse formalmente. Sin embargo, no es como que el divorcio esté sobre la mesa todavía, pero por lo que parece, bien podría ser el siguiente paso.

La presentación judicial -según lo informado por The Sun- hace varias alegaciones contra David en términos de razones para querer separarse, incluyendo las reclamaciones reportadas de comportamiento errático, abuso de sustancias y la negativa a trabajar, entre otros problema incluso más inquietantes.

The Sun señala que Jenelle lo acusa incluso de lllevarse a su perro en 2019 y más recientemente, ella dice que él está actualmente enfrentando cargos criminales por presuntamente maltratar a su hijo adolescente, Jace.

Publicamos la historia, Jenelle y David eran sospechosos de negligencia infantil después de que su hijo de 14 años de edad, Jace se escapó varias veces el verano pasado. Después de la tercera vez que lo había hecho, Jace aparentemente le dijo a la policía que David lo agredió.

Nuestras fuentes nos dijeron que Jace tenía marcas visibles en los brazos y el cuello cuando fue recogido, lo que llevó a la policía local a investigar y finalmente arrestar a David. Eason se enfrenta actualmente a dos cargos: delito menor de abuso infantil y delito grave de asalto por estrangulamiento.

La semana pasada, Jenelle estaba detallando un reciente intento de robo en su casa allí en Carolina del Norte, pero el nombre de David estuvo ausente de su descripción del horrible incidente.

Ahora sabemos por qué, The Sun informa que Jenelle está citando su fecha de separación el 16 de febrero y este documento fue presentado al parecer en algún momento hacia el final del mes pasado, el 23 de febrero.

Jenelle supuestamente va a hacer más acusaciones contra David, incluyendo la afirmación de que no ha comprobado en ella desde que se separaron oficialmente y que él está viviendo en su barco. Ella cita el hecho de que tienen hijos juntos y que supuestamente se ha ido fuera del radar.

Si bien estos no son documentos de divorcio, Jenelle aparentemente está pidiendo la custodia física primaria de su hija, así como la manutención de los hijos. David y Jenelle comparten a Ensley, de 7 años. Ella también señala que quiere el control de la casa de la familia y la mayoría de sus bienes conyugales para sí misma. En otras palabras, se perfila un desacoplamiento desordenado.
