celebrity kids

Michael Jackson would have been proud because his oldest son is now a college grad.

Prince Jackson graduated Saturday from Loyola Marymount University in L.A., snagging a degree in business administration.

TJ Jackson, who has been a surrogate parent to Prince, Paris and Blanket since Michael's death in 2009, was on hand and said, "Prince, it's been a long road but you did it. Keep learning, keep growing and keep giving back! So so proud of you. I love you."

Prince rode his motorcycle to the ceremony at the Loyola campus.

Michael's kid attended the famous Buckley School before attending college. Buckley turned out tons of celebs, including Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, Matthew Perry and Rashida Jones.

Billy Joel got a pretty special birthday gift -- 2 of his daughters, who are 30 years apart in age, joined him onstage at his show ... to wish him a happy 70th.

Mr. New York State of Mind put on a show for a sold-out crowd at Madison Square Garden Thursday night -- the 64th time he's done so -- but this concert happened to coincide with the legendary musician's bday.

So, his oldest daughter, Alexa Ray, made sure her big shot dad didn't get away without a song sung in his honor ... and brought out Billy's 3-year-old daughter, Della Rose, with her for the occasion.

Pretty sweet moment, and it even includes the awkward "... happy birthday dear Billy/Dad" confusion that almost always happens when you sing the song to a family member while surrounded by 20,000 friends.

Classic.

And, in case you're wondering ... Alexa is Billy's first child from his marriage to Christie Brinkley. He also has 2 daughters with his current wife, Alexis Roderick -- Della and 1-year-old Remy Anne.

Remy didn't get any stage time ... but we're sure Joel will have many more MSG shows to make it happen.

This tiny human was famous even as a kid after appearing on over 100 ads and small TV roles. The Disney Channel made her famous, but it was her sheer ambition that cemented her role in Hollywood. She did more than just act. She was a singer too ... landing a deal with Warner Bros. Records which released her debut album in 2007. The album was a MASSIVE success but she kept pushing herself.

She would go on to star in several films ... including "Scary Movie 5." She also joined the main cast of "Clipped" in 2015. Proving major versatility, she also launched her own production company and cosmetics line.

Diddy got super emotional talking about his late soulmate, Kim Porter ... breaking down into tears reminiscing on their life together.

The music mogul started crying during an interview with Essence while opening up about the pain he's anticipating this weekend on Mother's Day ... his first without the mother of his 3 kids.

Diddy says he and his children will celebrate Kim on Mother's Day, but it's still gonna hurt ... because he still hasn't gotten over her death. Diddy acknowledges it's gonna take some time to heal, if he ever does.

TMZ broke the story ... Kim died unexpectedly back in November at the age of 47, losing her battle with pneumonia. Diddy was distraught for weeks, calling her death a nightmare, and delivering a powerful eulogy at Kim's funeral.

When we last saw Diddy, he told us he was trying to soldier on and take care of his kids without Kim ... but it's clear her loss still weighs heavily on him.

Before this American-born boy in blue was discovered on Myspace and signed to a record label, he spent his childhood on a Caribbean island nation known for a certain style of music.

The singer, songwriter, rapper and record producer put out his eponymous debut album in 2007, which included a beautiful hit single that topped the Billboard Hot 100. The album itself reached #6 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart ... and went on to be certified gold.

Speaking of gold ... this guy's had major issues with jewelers over the years and has been sued several times for owing money.

He also suffered serious injuries in a near-fatal jet ski accident in 2010, but fortunately managed to pull through.

Luke Perry's son opened up about how much it meant for the late actor to work alongside his son on "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" ... calling it the pinnacle of his career.

Jack Perry jumped on Chris Jericho's "Talk is Jericho" podcast on Westwood One Podcast Network last week and opened up in detail about his father for the first time since the late '90210' star died in March from a massive stroke.

Check out the audio ... Jack -- who recently signed a pro wrestling deal with All Elite Wrestling and goes by Jungle Boy -- recalled how his father was the one who was adamant about Jack joining him in Quentin Tarantino's 9th film.

Luke joins Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie in the 60s flick that chronicles Charles Manson's most famous victim, Sharon Tate. Jack revealed that Luke landing a role in the star-studded cast was the highlight of his career. Working alongside Jack was the cherry on top.

Two days after Luke died, Jack wrote a heartfelt tribute to his father for supporting him in everything ... and especially wrestling.

10:53 AM PT -- Michelle Obama is chiming in on the good news too. The former First Lady tweeted her excitement to the new parents, saying she can't wait to meet the new royal bundle.

6:45 AM PT -- Meghan has given birth to a royal baby boy ... 7 lbs., 3 ozs. The palace says the new prince arrived at 5:26 AM Monday, London time.

No name for the little guy, yet. Harry says they're "still thinking about it" ... even though the baby arrived a little late.

Pass the royal baby powder! Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are officially in the home stretch ... she's in labor with their first child.

Buckingham Palace announced Monday the Duchess of Sussex had gone into labor.

Kensington Palace announced in October 2018 Harry and Megs were pregnant. They moved quickly ... the pregnancy news came about 5 months after their star-studded wedding ceremony.

Meghan continued her royal duties as the couple went on tour, but ultimately had to cut back ... especially on-air travel.

When it came to her baby shower ... that was quite a spectacle too. Tons of celeb friends came out in force to shower her with love ... from Amal Clooney to Abigail Spencer.

Because we know you're wondering ... the kiddo will be 7th in line to the throne, right behind Papa Harry, the Duke of Sussex. The new Prince will also bump Prince Andrew -- the second son of Queen Elizabeth -- down a notch.

Story developing ...

Before she was an eponymous housewife on a hit series, this fashionable youngster was raised in Illinois, where her father worked in children's publishing. Her mom's British and she's the niece of the late designer Kate Spade. This youngster was immensely talented ... a member on her high school's wrestling team while also teaching snowboarding.

She was cast in her first movie when she was still in high school ... the Michael Bay-produced horror flick "The Unborn." She gained notoriety on "Beautiful Creatures" and "House of Cards." But, she gained huge fame on Amazon Prime Video's popular show that earned her 2 Golden Globe Awards.

This pop star became a global sensation at just 14 years old when a song she originally published on SoundCloud went viral. She was subsequently signed by Interscope Records. The track -- written by her brother and produced for his own band -- has now been streamed more than 109 million times on YouTube.

She's since released hit after hit ... leading her to perform at some of the biggest festivals, including and most recently at Coachella. She was born and raised in L.A. and still not even old enough to vote. Both of her parents also work in the entertainment industry.

Yodel Kid's absence at Stagecoach this weekend was a huge bummer ... but he's got a fix to cure your blues ... 'cause TMZ's learned he's gearing up for a massive fall tour!!!

12-year-old Mason Ramsey -- the boy who became famous after yodeling at a Walmart in Illinois -- will announce next week a 30-date fall tour set to kick off October 3. We're told his yodeling will echo across all major markets ... including NYC, Nashville, Philly and L.A.

Mason's about to wrap up his 11-date How's Your Girl and How's Your Family tour, which he launched back in March. His final show went down Saturday in Milwaukee and he's been killing it everywhere. Check out the clip ... Mason surfed the crowd on an inflatable horse earlier last week in Ohio ... and the crowd ate it up.

Mason's enjoyed incredible success since video of him yodeling Hank Williams' "Lovesick Blues" in 2018 at a Harrisburg, IL Walmart blew up. It led to an appearance on 'Ellen' and gigs at Coachella and Stagecoach ... where he actually upstaged Florida Georgia Line. Mason's truly a global superstar ... his single, "Famous," has racked up nearly 40 MILLION streams on Spotify.

In short ... the kid's legit and clearly, he's in hot demand.

Now that we are half-way through the final season, it's time to go way back to the beginning.

Before these little lords and ladies were battling the White Walkers and setting their sights on the Iron Throne, they were just true-born free folk growing up faster than winter came. Grab your Valyrian steel and burn through this many-faced gallery of cute "Game of Thrones" cast kid pics to see if these fan favorites were raised to be kings, knights, or even a mother of dragons.

The night is dark and full of terrors ... but luckily these young wildlings are guaranteed to brighten up your day!

True Thompson is growing up right before our eyes ... because Khloe Kardashian's baby girl is taking her first steps, and it's all on video!!!

Khloe posted these super cute clips to her Instagram story on Sunday, cheering on True as she starts walking for the first time all on her own!

The family milestone went down in Khloe's house, with True booking it through the living room and the playroom. Guess it helps to have an NBA superstar for a father. Tristan Thompson's kid is already walking tall.

True is the youngest member of the Kardashian-Jenner family ... with Khloe and Tristan putting their recent relationship drama aside earlier this month to celebrate True's 1st birthday party.

It's a huge weekend for the Kardashian-Jenner klan ... also on Sunday, Kim threw a CBD-infused baby shower celebrating the arrival of her 4th child with Kanye West.

But, this moment is all about True and we can already feel our hearts melting!

Kids ... they grow up so fast.

Joseph Baena just graduated from college ... and his old man is beaming with pride.

Arnold Schwarzenegger shared the news Saturday along with a happy photo of the 2, saying ... "Congratulations Joseph! Four years of hard work studying business at Pepperdine and today is your big day!"

He added ... "You have earned all of the celebration and I’m so proud of you. I love you!"

Arnold and Joseph have been tight the past several years -- even working out together -- but as far we know, Arnold's kids with Maria Shriver -- Katherine, Christopher, Christina and Patrick -- have never had a relationship with him.

Doesn't look like any of them were at the graduation either ... but that's not going to spoil the moment for father and son.

Kylie Jenner's letting all of L.A. know her man's birthday's coming up ... and she and Stormi want him to have a happy one.

Travis Scott got a huge bday shoutout from Kylie Friday in the form of a billboard on the corner of one of the busiest intersections in West Hollywood -- Santa Monica and La Cienega.

The billboard features a huge headshot of their 1-year-old daughter along with another pic of her and Mom, with the message ... "Happy Birthday Daddy." It's signed, "Love, Mommy & Stormi XO."

As if this was not enough, Kylie also threw Travis an 'Avengers'-themed bash Thursday night, which included a private screening for 'Endgame.'

Scott's actual birthday isn't until Tuesday, April 30 ... but who is keeping track? He'll be 28.

BTW -- Travis' bday billboard is directly across the street from another one with a giant face on it ... Taylor Swift's. As we reported ... she's got something important she want's to advertise, as well.

Britney Spears will have a big reunion today ... with her kids.

Britney and Kevin Federline have joint custody of 13-year-old Sean and 12-year-old Jayden. The arrangement has been that she gets them 3 days, he gets them 3 days, she gets them 3 days, he gets them 3 days, and so on.

Britney has had less than the agreed-upon 50/50 custody for several months leading up to her stay at the mental health facility. While she was doing poorly, the kids would visit, but Kevin had the kids most of the time.

So, Britney begins her 3 days with the kids today, but there's still significant concern about her mental state. Our sources say the 30-day stay at a mental health facility -- which ended Wednesday -- put her in a better place, but there are still issues with her judgment, and it goes beyond medication.

As we reported, doctors continue to struggle, trying to find the right combination of meds to stabilize Britney. The meds she had been taking lost their efficacy, and creating a new cocktail is fraught with problems. Britney had stopped taking the new meds earlier this year when they were doing more harm than good.

We're told progress is being made, but there's another big unresolved factor. The meds will stabilize her, but there are more fundamental mental health issues that go to judgment and perspective, and that requires intensive therapy ... something she has been and will continue to receive.

Short story ... she's doing better, but she's not right, at least not yet. It's something her dad, Jamie, has been dealing with for nearly a dozen years as her conservator, trying to give her the space she needs to live her life, and at the same time steer her away from disaster.

Elisa Johnson, Magic Johnson's daughter, says she suffered "intense scarring" on her stomach while escaping a terrifying home invasion back in December ... and now she's sharing the pics.

We broke the story ... Elisa was at a home in the San Fernando Valley on Dec. 2 when 2 armed men broke in and began terrorizing the 10 people inside.

We're told they held people at gunpoint and shoved people around while stealing cash, jewelry and electronics.

Elisa was able to escape through a sliding glass door at the back of the home and ran down the street.

TMZ obtained surveillance video from a neighbor's home which showed two men lurking on the block a few hours before the home invasion. We don't know if either of these guys are the suspect, but we know neighbors were suspicious

Now, the 24-year-old says she was injured at some point during the incident -- suffering damage to her abdomen.

"Months ago, I escaped from a home invasion and in the process I was left with intense scaring on my stomach," Elisa says.

"Until now I’ve been so afraid to show these scars, and incredibly insecure about the way I look. But I now realize these scars are a part of my journey, and tell the story of who I am."

Elisa says she loves her body and "I am proud to be in the place I am today. #selfhealing."
