Kaia was spotted filming the project Friday at a mall in Los Angeles ... walking her pup in between takes. Her castmates Hayes Warner and Graham Campbell -- who actually plays her boyfriend -- were also spotted hanging around.

Kaia, 24, is Cindy's youngest child ... two years younger than brother Presley Gerber -- who has also followed in his mother's footsteps and become a model.

Worth noting ... Kaia's stunning resemblance to her mother has been a topic for discussion for years. Kaia even told Vogue in 2019 it's not just their looks, but their mannerisms, too!

Time to TAP-IN y'all! Gen-Z was up and at 'em this week! Here are the MUST-KNOWS:

The long-lived feud between rappers Drake and Kendrick Lamar may be reignited with tonight's World Series game. Earlier this week, Toronto native Drake went from zero to 100 real quick when the Blue Jays secured their spot in the World Series, while Kendrick -- who's from Compton, California -- is backing his beloved Dodgers 💯!

The question is:

JoJo Siwa's relationship garnered buzz this week -- She hit the carpet at the 2025 Dancers Against Cancer Gala ... and packed on the PDA with partner Chris Hughes. The smooches were flying, and so were the comments online; some peeps are over this relationship, while some are totes here for it 😘!

Even celebs get starstruck ... Ariana Grande practically lost all chill when the one and only Sarah Jessica Parker acknowledged her existence!

On the "Shut Up Evan" podcast, the "Wicked" star got a surprise voicemail from none other than the "Sex and The City" queen herself. But before Ariana could even answer SJP’s burning question, she was already tearing up like a total fangirl.

Ariana was so shook, she blurted out to Evan, "She knows who I am!" ... then pulled it together just enough to dive into how fame looks now versus what she dreamed it’d be as a kid.

Robert Irwin is the youngest dancer still competing on "Dancing with the Stars" this season, and the man is so gosh-darn innocent ... he says he doesn't even watch scary movies.

Catching up with the 21-year-old conservationist outside of the 'DWTS' rehearsal studio in Los Angeles Thursday, Robert was asked what is his favorite scary flick ... but RI told the photog, "I've never seen a horror movie in my life."

Apparently, wildlife photography and zookeeping some of the world's deadliest animals is enough of an adrenaline rush for Robert.

Kim Kardashian must have some sort of ESP ... 'cause the actress and model is sure she passed the bar exam ... and will be a lawyer within weeks.

This is a big deal to Kim ... not only was her famed father Robert a well-known attorney -- Kim told Norton she sees law as the next phase of her career, and says she ultimately wants to be a trial lawyer.
