Before Jake Paul showed some big-time toughness in the ring vs. Mike Tyson on Friday ... he displayed his huge soft spot on Thursday -- sweetly hosting a boy who's battling cancer throughout some of his pre-fight festivities.

Obey's mom, Chelsi, tells us Weidenhofer learned of Owen's story weeks ago ... and was so moved by it, he asked Jake if he'd be interested in meeting the youngster during fight week this week.

Kim Kardashian’s getting real about raising her brood post-divorce from Kanye -- hinting that he's basically MIA in her life, and it’s her holding it down solo with the kiddos.

On the "What In The Winkler?!" podcast, Kim told host Zoe Winkler that even though she has a solid support system, she’s "basically raising four kids by myself" -- which she admitted is overwhelming, especially since she struggles silently, worried about being judged.

Kim shared that even the little things can feel like a lot -- like when all the kids pile into her bed, kicking her, crying, and waking up in the middle of the night.

Before this fashionable kid in his button down was crackin' jokes as an Internet personality, he was just growing up with his two sisters in Texas and heading off to The University of Southern California.

He got his start in the entertainment biz producing music videos and writing/filming commercials -- until he landed at BuzzFeed. One of his popular videos is "If Disney Princes Were Real" which has over 70 million views.

In 2019, he played Theo Lorql on an episode of "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" with Terry Crews and Andy Samberg.

The Toy Scout, Joel Magee, is advising people against tossing out the "Wicked" toys incorrectly labeled with a porn link ... explaining owners could majorly cash in on the X-rated error.

The toy expert tells TMZ ... he's never seen a mistake like this on a toy before, especially involving a company as famous and as big as Mattel. In fact, he's baffled the proof team didn't catch such a glaring error, calling it a "heavy" misstep.

However, the mistake actually makes the toy even more valuable now ... with Joel encouraging owners to ignore Mattel's instructions on how to dispose of the NSFW packaging.

Megan has 3 kids with Brian and our sources feel MGK hasn't been involved enough in the sons' lives ... or even made an effort to be a father figure to them.

On the back of the dolls, they put a URL to the website "www.wicked.com" ... in case people who purchase the toys want to buy more -- except, that's not the company's website. It's a porn site!
