Kids

Antes de que esta dulce niña con vestido de cumpleaños se convirtiera en supermodelo, ya participaba en desfiles de moda locales en su ciudad natal de Dekalb, Illinois, y finalmente pasó a un nivel superior cuando era sólo una adolescente.

Dejó su impronta como modelo en los años 80 y 90 y fue fotografiada junto a Naomi Campbell y otras populares modelos de la época.

A principios de la década de 2000 se introdujo en la industria de los muebles, así que la próxima vez que vayas a Rooms to Go, puede que acabes sentado en uno de sus sofás.

Before this sweet girl in her birthday dress turned into a supermodel, she was entering local fashion shows in her hometown of DeKalb, Illinois ... and eventually taking things to a higher level when she was just a teenager.

She definitely made her modeling mark on the world back in the '80s and '90s and was iconically snapped with Naomi Campbell and other popular models of that time.

In the early 2000s she tapped into the furniture industry, so the next time you hit up a Rooms to Go, you may wind up sitting on one of her sofas.

Kate Middleton should be open and honest with her kids about her cancer diagnosis -- 'cause that'll be the best way for them to deal with it ... per a prominent expert in the field.

We spoke with Dr. Charles Sophy on "TMZ Live" Friday just minutes after the Princess of Wales revealed to the world she's dealing with cancer -- and he weighed in on how she and Prince William's children might be processing this heavy news about their mom.

Sophy -- a renowned child and family psychiatrist -- says lots of communication with the children, even about adult matters, is the best route to help them understand what's going on  ... and so is listening, as kids will ask the questions they want and need answers to.

Dr. Sophy says the Royal Couple needs to be transparent with their children -- 10-year-old George, 8-year-old Charlotte, and 5-year-old Louis -- and address the physical changes Kate may go through early on so the little ones aren't taken aback by things that may come.

On the issue of talking about really hard questions regarding the serious nature of the disease and how Kate's feeling throughout ... Sophy advises William and Kate to leave answers open-ended -- not promising a miraculous recovery, while also trying not to alarm the kids at the same time. He says it's a fine line ... one Will and Kate will have to walk together.

Since the young Royals are of different ages, some may question whether giving them varying levels of information is the right way to go ... but Sophy says no. He thinks William and Kate should give them all the same general information and let them process it how they need to.

Of course, Prince William will also be dealing with his own emotions following his wife's diagnosis ... and Sophy thinks it may bring up old emotions and trauma regarding the death of another famous Royal -- his mother, Princess Diana. Sophy says Will has to find the balance to weather his family through this storm.

Kate says she and her husband have already filled their children in on what's going on -- and that she's needed time out of the spotlight to do so correctly and with care.

Josh Peck está hablando sobre las acusaciones relatadas en el documental sobre los niños actores de Nickelodeon y está diciendo que las cosas tienen que cambiar para mejor.

La ex estrella de Nick rompió su silencio sobre "Quiet on Set" el jueves, esto en medio de la creciente presión de los fans, quienes lo estaban empujando para que dijera algo mientras seguía publicando cosas en sus redes sociales sin abordar el tema.

Josh escribe: "Terminé el documental "Quiet on Set" y me tomé unos días para procesarlo. Me puse en contacto con Drake en privado, pero quiero brindarle mi apoyo a los supervivientes que fueron lo suficientemente valientes como para compartir sus historias de abuso emocional y físico en los platós de Nickelodeon con el mundo".

Y continúa: "Los niños deben ser protegidos. Revivir esto públicamente es increíblemente difícil, pero espero que pueda traer sanación para las víctimas y sus familias, así como un necesario cambio en nuestra industria".

El mensaje de Josh llega en el momento justo. Su nombre ha sido tendencia toda la semana tras la emisión del documental y mucha gente quería saber si iba a decir algo o cuándo iba a hacerlo. Josh, obviamente, no apareció en el documental, pero era una de las mayores estrellas de Nick en ese entonces.

Por supuesto, su conexión con Drake Bell, con quien protagonizó un enorme programa "Drake & Josh" no pasó desapercibida para nadie, especialmente después de que Drake revelara que fue abusado cuando era adolescente.

La única cosa que Josh no precisa en su declaración es si alguna vez experimentó algo indecoroso él mismo, o si estaba al tanto de lo que estaba pasando con Drake en el momento, pero de acuerdo a sus palabras, parece seguro suponer que probablemente no sabía nada al respecto.

Como informamos, Drake salió a defender a Josh el miércoles en medio de la reacción violenta de los fans, diciéndole al público que su co-estrella ya se había acercado a él y le pidió a la gente que dejara de echar humo.

Josh Peck is speaking out on all the claims and horror stories chronicled in the documentary about Nickelodeon child actors ... and he says things have gotta change for the better.

The former Nick star broke his silence Thursday over 'Quiet on Set' -- this amid mounting pressure from fans, who were very vocally calling on him to say something as he continued to post things on social media without addressing it.

Josh writes, "I finished the Quiet on Set documentary and took a few days to process it. I reached out to Drake privately, but want to give my support for the survivors who were brave enough to share their stories of emotional and physical abuse on Nickelodeon sets with the world."

He continues, "Children should be protected. Reliving this publicly is incredibly difficult, but I hope it can bring healing for the victims and their families as well as necessary change to our industry."

Josh's post is coming at just the right time ... his name has been trending all week in the wake of the doc airing -- with lots of people wondering if/when he was ever going to speak. Josh obviously wasn't featured in 'QOS,' but he was one of the biggest Nick stars back then.

Of course, his connection to Drake Bell -- with whom he starred on a massive show in "Drake & Josh" -- wasn't lost on anyone ... especially after Drake revealed he was abused as a teen.

The one thing Josh doesn't pinpoint in his statement is whether he ever experienced anything unseemly himself -- or if he was privy to what was going on with Drake at the time -- but based on his words, it seems safe to presume he was probably in the dark about it.

As we reported ... Drake came out Wednesday to defend Josh amid the backlash, notifying the public that his one-time costar had already reached out, and told people to lay off.

Christine Quinn's husband was arrested for a second time this week -- this after cops say he showed up at their home despite the fact he was ordered to stay away ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us Christian Dumontet was taken into custody again Wednesday night after cops say he arrived at his and Christine's house in the Hollywood Hills ... which spurred a 911 call and landed Christian in handcuffs for the 2nd day in a row.

We're told he was hauled away by officers and taken to jail, where he was booked on a charge of violating an emergency protective order. Photos of cops on the scene last night show at least one police cruiser at Christine's home ... but not shots of Christian himself.

Unclear who called the cops -- but sources with direct knowledge tell us Christine wasn't the one to alert police to Christian's presence, and more importantly ... we're told she wasn't even at the property at all.

Our sources tell us she hasn't been back to the home since heading to the hospital with their kid -- and is currently in a safe location with the child. Regardless ... we're told Christian being at the property is a no-go based on the legal forcefield afforded to Christine.

Remember ... she was granted an emergency protective order that's in place for 7 days after what allegedly happened between her and Christian on Tuesday -- and if she wants additional protection, she'll have to file for a restraining order.

As we reported ... Christian stands accused of trying to get violent with Christine during an argument -- having allegedly thrown a bag full of glass at her, but missing and allegedly striking their 2-year-old son instead. 911 was called, and Christian was led away by police.

We're told Christian was released from jail early Thursday morning on bond. We've reached out to Christine's camp ... so far, no word back.

El marido de Christine Quinn fue detenido por segunda vez esta semana, esto después de que la policía dijera que se presentó en su casa a pesar de que le ordenaron mantenerse alejado... TMZ ha indagado.

Fuentes policiales nos dicen que Christian Dumontet fue detenido de nuevo la noche del miércoles después de que la policía informara que llegó a su casa y la de Christine en las colinas de Hollywood, lo que provocó una llamada al 911 y su detención por segunda vez consecutiva.

Nos dicen que fue detenido y llevado a la cárcel, donde fue fichado por un cargo de violación de una orden de protección de emergencia. Fotos de la policía de anoche muestran al menos a un carro patrulla de la policía en la casa de Christine, pero no hay capturas de Christian.

No está claro quién llamó a la policía, pero fuentes con conocimiento directo nos dicen que Christine no fue quien lo hizo, y lo más importante, nos dicen que ni siquiera estaba en la propiedad en absoluto.

Nuestras fuentes nos dicen que no ha vuelto a casa desde que se dirigió al hospital con su hijo, y actualmente se encuentra en un lugar seguro con el niño. A pesar de todo, nos informan que Christian no puede entrar a la propiedad por ley.

Recordemos que Christine tiene una orden de protección vigente por 7 días. Esto luego del supuesto ocurrió entre ella y Christian el martes, y si ella quiere protección adicional, tendrá que solicitar una orden de restricción.

Como informamos, Christian está acusado de tratar de ponerse violento con Christine durante una discusión, luego de supuestamente haberle lanzado una bolsa llena de vidrios, la cual terminó golpeando a su hijo de dos años. Llamaron al 911 y a Christian se lo llevó la policía.

Shakira está abrazando completamente su vida de soltera, tanto que acaba de confesar que estar casada era algo que le pesaba y le puso un freno a su carrera musical.

La cantante colombiana estuvo 11 años con el futbolista Gerard Piqué, antes de que se separaran en 2022 en medio de rumores de infidelidad, y recientamente le dijo a Zane Lowe de Apple Music 1 que sin Gerard en su vida tiene un impulso compulsivo por trabajar y hacer música como nunca antes.

Ahora, la soltería de Shakira no es perfecta tampoco. También fue realista sobre los desafíos que conlleva ser madre soltera de sus hijos Milán, de 11 años y Sasha, 9 años.

La reina de "Hips Don't Lie", que se mudó de España a los Estados Unidos después de su separación, cuenta que sus dos hijos se apoyan mucho en ella y sin el maridito en el cuadro, dice que está sosteniendo el buque por sí misma.

Esta no es la primera vez que Shakira arremete contra Gerard por el impacto negativo que tuvo en su trabajo como cantente. También le dijo al Sunday Times que tuvo que sacrificar su carrera musical en nombre del amor.

Pero ahora, luego de 7 largos años, Shakira está de vuelta con su muy esperado álbum de estudio, "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" (Women Don't Cry Anymore), ¡que saldrá este viernes!

Shakira's all about that single life ... straight-up saying being married weighed her down, and put a damper on her music career.

The Colombian singer was with soccer player Gerard Piqué for 11 years before they separated in 2022 amid infidelity rumors ... and she told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 that with Gerard outta the picture, she's now got a compulsive urge to work and make music like never before.

Shakira's singledom ain't all sunshine and rainbows though ... she's also keeping it real about the challenges of being a single parent to her sons, 11-year-old Milan and 9-year-old Sasha.

The "Hips Don't Lie" queen, who made the move from Spain to the U.S. post-split, dishes that her 2 kiddos are leaning on her big time ... and with no hubby in the picture, she's holding down the fort all by herself.

This ain't the first time Shakira's gently lashed out about how Gerard negatively impacted her career -- she also told the Sunday Times she sacrificed her music-making journey in the name of love.

But, Shakira's back in action ... after 7 long years, she's dropping her much-awaited studio album, "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" (Women Don't Cry Anymore), this Friday!

Drake Bell is coming to Josh Peck's defense after fans blasted his former costar for staying mum amid his sexual abuse story ... basically telling everyone to stand down.

The former Nick star hopped online Wednesday to clear the air on where he stands with Josh ... and he confirmed that JP has, in fact, reached out to him after his appearance on 'Quiet on the Set' -- even though just about everybody assumed he hadn't.

Drake -- who opened up about being molested as a teen by former Nickelodeon dialogue coach Brian Peck in the docuseries -- says he noticed the hate comments flooding Josh's social media accounts these past several days ... which he says are unwarranted.

As Drake puts it ... Josh has been supportive in the aftermath of the doc. Josh's reach-out hasn't been made public until now because of the delicate nature of the situation -- so things are clearly going on behind the scenes that not everyone can see.

Drake says that he's been going through an emotional time in processing everything that has happened ... which is why certain things have been kept out of the public eye.

His update comes amid accusations that JP was purposefully ignoring the damning doc about their former network. The comment section of Josh's TikTok account even featured countless fans demanding that he say something in support of DB, instead of making silly uploads.

Of course, Drake and Josh have a rocky relationship of late. The two found themselves publicly beefing after Drake griped about not being invited to Josh's wedding.

The two actors eventually hugged it out at the 2017 VMAs -- but even after that ... it didn't seem they were particularly close.

Antes de que este chico con camiseta a rayas se convirtiera en actor y cantante, posaba como un niño malvado, creciendo en Washington D.C. ¡y soñando con su gran ovación en el escenario de Broadway!

Se puede decir que "Simple Sponge" es muy exitoso en el escenario, canta y es un genio teatral, ¡pero también es un talentoso compositor y toca la guitarra como un profesional!

Si aún no estás seguro de quién podría ser este chico, ¡quizá Ari pueda ayudarte 😜!

Before this bubbly boy in his striped tee turned into an actor and singer, he was just posing like a wicked kiddo, growing up in Washington D.C. and dreaming of his big standing ovation on the Broadway stage!

It's safe to say this "Simple Sponge" puts in work on the stage, sings to the rafters, and is a total theatrical genius ....but he's also a talented composer and plays the guitar like a pro!

If you're still unsure who this kid could be, maybe Ari could help you out 😜!

Dan Schneider está abordando las acusaciones del nuevo documental de Nickelodeon que lo pintan como un monstruo y lo acusan de comportamiento extremadamente inapropiado con algunos miembros del elenco, y él está asumiendo su responsabilidad.

El alguna vez mandamás de Nickelodeon se sentó con el ex actor de "iCarly" BooG!e el martes para entregar una respuesta formal a las afirmaciones que lo acusan de fomentar un ambiente tóxico en el trabajo y en los programas que creó, y que se acaban de abordar en su totalidad en este nuevo documental que se está volviendo viral.

Echa un vistazo, Dan Schneider dice que fue muy difícil para él ver la nueva docuserie y reconocer algunos de sus comportamientos como vergonzosos y lamentables.

Añadió: "Definitivamente, le debo a una disculpa bastante fuerte a algunas personas".

El ex ejecutivo de televisión -que era el showrunner de varios programas de Nickelodeon en su momento- se dio cuenta de cómo sus acciones impactaron a los que trabajaban para él. Dijo que ahora no volvería a hacer algunas de las travesuras que hizo en el set en ese entonces, explicando: "Me avergüenzo de haberlo hecho entonces. Pido disculpas a quienquiera que haya puesto en esa situación".

Dan incluso estuvo de acuerdo en que algunos de los cuestionables chistes de sus programas deberían ser cortados ahora mismo e insistió en que escribió las ocurrencias con los niños en mente y que no había mala intención.

A través de sus representantes, Dan ha negado las afirmaciones de que los programas que supervisó sexualizaron a propósito a sus estrellas infantiles, como Ariana Grande, Amanda Bynes y Jennette McCurdy, entre otros.

Su portavoz declaró el lunes: "Todo lo que sucedía en los programas que Dan dirigía era cuidadosamente escudriñado por docenas de adultos involucrados, y aprobado por la cadena. Si hubiera habido escenas o trajes que fueran inapropiados de alguna manera, habrían sido advertidos y bloqueados por este escrutinio de múltiples capas".

Drake Bell, que habló de ser molestado por su entrenador de diálogo en Nickelodeon Brian Peck en "Quiet on Set", acreditó a Dan como un aliado después de que habló del abuso.

En esta nueva entrevista, Dan habló de Drake y Peck, y se emocionó al hacerlo.

Dijo que estaba devastado cuando se enteró de la conducta de Brian, explicando que no fue quien contrató al entrenador de diálogo para la red, pero que tiene remordimientos de haberlo tenido cerca. Incluso reveló que ayudó a la madre de Drake a escribir su declaración para el juicio de Brian.

Dan Schneider is addressing the allegations in the new Nickelodeon doc that paints him as a monster and wildly inappropriate with some in the cast ... and he's taking accountability.

The one-time Nickelodeon honcho sat down with former "iCarly" actor BooG!e Tuesday to offer up his formal response to toxic workplace claims made against him and the shows he created ... which was just addressed in full on the new documentary that's going viral.

Check it out ... DS says it was very hard for him to watch the new docuseries ... acknowledging some of his past behavior as embarrassing and regretful.

He added ... "I definitely owe some people a pretty strong apology."

The former TV exec -- who was the showrunner on several Nick shows back in the day -- realized how his actions impacted those who worked for him. He says he'd never do some of the on-set shenanigans he pulled back then today -- explaining ... "I’m embarrassed that I did it then. I apologize to anybody that I ever put in that situation."

Dan even agrees some of the questionable jokes written for his shows should be cut right now ... insisting he wrote the quips with children in mind -- and that there was no ill intent.

Through his reps, Dan has denied claims that the shows he oversaw purposefully sexualized its child stars -- like Ariana Grande, Amanda Bynes and Jennette McCurdy, among others.

His spokesperson stated Monday ... "Everything that happened on the shows Dan ran was carefully scrutinized by dozens of involved adults, and approved by the network. Had there been any scenes or outfits that were inappropriate in any way, they would have been flagged and blocked by this multilayered scrutiny.”

Drake Bell -- who spoke out about being molested by Nickelodeon dialogue coach Brian Peck in 'Quiet on Set' -- credited Dan as an ally after he spoke out about the abuse.

In the new sit-down, Dan talks about Drake and Peck as well ... getting emotional doing so.

He says he was devastated when he learned of Brian's behavior ... explaining he did not hire the dialogue coach for the network, but has regrets nonetheless on having him around. He even revealed that he helped Drake's mother pen her statement for Brian's sentencing trial.

Travis Kelce está en conversaciones para convertirse en presentador de un programa de juegos en un futuro muy próximo.

La estrella de los Kansas City Chiefs y los representantes de Prime Video están trabajando para llegar a un acuerdo que convertiría al tres veces campeón del Super Bowl en el rostro de un reinicio de "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?", según Variety.

Sin embargo, el medio de comunicación informó el martes que está lejos de ser una conclusión inevitable, ya que hay cierta preocupación por parte de los jefes que Kelce no sea capaz de hacer el trabajo correctamente si continuara su carrera en la NFL.

Jeff Foxworthy fue el presentador de la primera edición del programa en Fox en 2007. John Cena retomó la conducción años más tarde, cuando una nueva versión del programa llegó a Nickelodeon.

El programa era muy popular, ya que ponía a prueba los conocimientos de los adultos sobre información que generalmente se le enseña a los alumnos de primaria.

Variety informó el martes de que la nueva versión de Prime Video contaría con concursantes famosos.

Por supuesto, si Kelce consigue el papel no sería su primera incursión en el mundo de la televisión. Una vez estuvo en un reality show de citas llamado "Catching Kelce". También fue el famoso presentador de "Saturday Night Live" el año pasado. Y no se olvide que aparece en cámara semanalmente con su hermano -Jason- en su pódcast ultra-popular "New Heights".

Si Kelce está preocupado, no lo se le nota en lo absoluto, porque se rumorea que está en las Bahamas con Taylor Swift, y sí, es un poco difícil centrarse en los negocios allí.

Travis Kelce's apparently got his eyes on taking his tight end to a new seat ... he's now reportedly in talks to become a game show host in the very near future.

The Kansas City Chiefs star and Prime Video reps are working to hammer out a deal that would make the three-time Super Bowl champion the face of a "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?" reboot, according to Variety.

The outlet reported Tuesday, however, that it's far from a foregone conclusion ... as there's at least some concern on the suits' end that Kelce wouldn't be able to do the gig properly if he continued his NFL career.

Jeff Foxworthy hosted the first iteration of the show on Fox way back in 2007. John Cena then picked up hosting duties years later when a new version of the program landed on Nickelodeon.

The show was a popular one -- as it, in part, tested adults' knowledge of information generally taught to elementary school students.

Variety reported Tuesday the new Prime Video version would feature celebrity contestants.

Of course, if Kelce does score the role ... it'd hardly be his first foray into the television world. He was once the center of a reality dating show called "Catching Kelce." He also famously hosted "Saturday Night Live" last year. And, don't forget, he's on-camera weekly with his brother, Jason, for their ultra-popular 'New Heights' podcast.

If Kelce's sweating the talks, he's not showing it much ... 'cause he's rumored to be down in the Bahamas with Taylor Swift at the moment -- and, yeah, kinda hard to focus on business there.
