celebrity kids

Suri Cruise is following that old adage ... if life gives ya lemons, make money.

Katie Holmes and Tom's little girl -- who's the spitting image of Mom these days -- was hawking lemonade Sunday in NYC for the Pride Parade. Shes' a good businesswoman too ... she and a friend priced their ice cold beverages to move at $2 a pop.

Looks like they had a good day, based on the cash they walked off with at the close of biz.

The budding entrepreneur is 12 years old now and, while she's got NYC on lock ... she might not wanna try this in San Fran.

"This is Us" star Eris Baker has earned north of a quarter of a million bucks ... and she's not even a teenager.

Eris -- who plays Sterling K. Brown's daughter on the hit show -- raked in $112,500 for playing Tess Pearson in season 1 ... this according to her contract and obtained by TMZ. She was in 9 episodes and pulled in $12,500 for each.

The 12-year-old got bumps in seasons 2 and 3, plus she got paid for a minimum of 7 episodes on both seasons ... grossing her $298,140 before she can even get a learner's permit.

Eris is quickly learning Hollywood pays well for great kid actors. Just ask "Black-ish" star Marsai Martin and, of course, the "Stranger Things" kid, who got a MASSIVE raise after the Netflix show became an instant hit.

Marsai Martin -- best known for playing daughter Diane on the hit series "Black-ish" -- might be on her way to being the next mega-rich child star ... with a little luck.

The 13-year-old actress will star in an upcoming film titled "Little," and according to her contract -- obtained by TMZ -- she's guaranteed to bank $200,000 for her role ... with a possibility of an additional $300k based on how much money it hauls in.

Not only is Martin starring in the film, she's listed as an executive producer as well.

It gets better, potentially, for Marsai -- if "Little" is a big enough success to land a sequel ... she'll score another $400k and up to $600k in box office bonuses. That's a cool MIL for the sequel if you're keeping track.

Marsai will get way more wealthy if there's a third installment of the "Little" franchise -- $800k guaranteed and up to $900k in bonuses.

Pretty sweet deal for a teenager.

North West was just like any other kid enjoying a day at the beach, except she was there under the watchful eye of two nannies and a bodyguard.

Nori, who just turned 5, looked like she was having a swell time Wednesday in Malibu after spending her birthday earlier this week in the Big Apple with mom and dad.

Kim and Kanye weren't at the beach ... they're in Paris currently supporting Kanye's BFF, Virgil Abloh, at his first Louis Vuitton runway show.

1:26 PM PT -- Fonda just apologized for the tweet, saying, "I tweeted something highly inappropriate and vulgar about the president and his family in response to the devastating images I was seeing on television."

He continues, "Like many Americans, I am very impassioned and distraught over the situation with children separated from their families at the border, but I went way too far. It was wrong and I should not have done it. I immediately regretted it and sincerely apologize to the family for what I said and any hurt my words have caused.”

8:15 AM PT -- Donald Trump Jr. responded to Fonda, calling him a coward who should stop bullying 12-year-old Barron and "pick on someone a bit bigger. LMK."

Yes, 40-year-old DTJ is essentially challenging 78-year-old Fonda to a fight. Welcome to 2018.

Peter Fonda's so fired up about the children in detention camps he might have just crossed a dangerous line ... by suggesting Melania Trump should be separated from her child.

The Oscar winner said, "We should rip Barron Trump from his mother's arms and put him in a cage with pedophiles and see if mother will stand up against the giant a**hole she is married to."

He's clearly echoing the sentiment of millions of outraged Americans, but suggesting violence against the First Family will most likely land you on a list somewhere in D.C.

Fonda's on one, for sure. He also referred to Trump adviser, and reported mastermind of the detention camps, Stephen Miller, as "Stephen Goebbels Miller" ... and insinuated young girls in the camps are being harmed.

Connecting Miller to Nazi leader Joseph Goebbels has pissed off some people ... since Miller is Jewish.

Kim Kardashian West couldn't hold back her laughter telling her daughter North to put the eye shadow brush down as her mini-me generously applied it all over her face, and we do mean ALL over.

Kim shared a video of North back to her usual hijinx -- being ridiculously adorable while getting into mom's new eye shadow from her KKW beauty line. North didn't just go for the eyelid, she also got her nose and ... pretty much every other facial feature.

9:32 PM PT -- Brandon just responded to his dad's post ... "I thank my Dad for paying for my treatment. It's the best thing he has ever done for me. Today I am almost two years sober. Every day that goes by I feel ever more grateful. My clear mind has allowed me to do a lot with this time. So much so that I would like to offer to pay for his treatment."

Tommy Lee is taking the most disgusting shot yet in the war with his son, Brandon Lee -- bitching about all the money he's spent on raising him ... including the tab for rehab.

The Motley Crue drummer says he spent $130k to get Brandon treatment, another $40k on his 21st birthday ... and $10k on his own medical bills after Brandon knocked him out earlier this year. Tommy's finishing touch -- "Son acting like a victim on social media on father's day: Priceless."

Dad's clearly still fuming over the fact Brandon posted video on Father's Day showing Tommy out cold after their fight back in March -- but Dad's tweet takes it to a really ugly level.

Brandon's never gone public with any substance abuse issues, so IF it's true ... his own father just outed him. Not to mention the whole people in glass houses thing -- Tommy's battled addiction in the past, and even gone to rehab himself.

He might have locked up Dad of the Year, though, with the last braggadocious line of his angry tweet. Mic drop? Nice touch.

Rob Kardashian pays Blac Chyna child support, and she flat-out lied on social media just to ruin his Father's Day ... according to sources close to Rob.

For those who missed it ... Chyna dissed both her baby daddys on her Instagram Story Sunday in a message that read: "wow Tyga and Rob ... no child support BOSS BITCH ALL 201[8]."

We're told Rob thinks it was just Chyna trying to ruin his Father's Day and egg him on to go after her ... something he's prohibited from doing, according to their custody agreement -- they made an agreement to keep all the negative stuff off social media.

For the most part, there hasn't been a lot of drama between the two recently. We're told Rob pays child support, but wants it drastically lowered because he's not making any money and the $20k a month no longer has a correlation to his ability to pay.

As for their daughter, Dream, we're told Rob never skips a visit.

Chris Pratt is apparently a hopeless romantic, who really knows how to make a girl laugh -- just ask Katherine Schwarzenegger!!

Chris was spotted on a picnic date Sunday with Arnold and Maria's 28-year-old daughter. The duo's outing went down up in Santa Barbara, and Chris was a total gentleman -- picking up Katherine at her place and driving her up the coast in his truck ... they even stopped to get gas together.

We've seen Chris get flirty before, but this is the first time we've seen him on a full-fledged date since he filed for divorce from Anna Faris back in December.

While Katherine clearly has a Hollywood pedigree, she's not IN the biz. She's an interior designer and lifestyle blogger.

North West is kicking and screaming into old(er) age ... just like the rest of us.

North didn't look thrilled about turning 5 on Friday -- not at first, anyway -- but Kanye and Kim Kardashian West carried on with her party in NYC. Dad carried her out to the car, and through what looked like a brief tantrum.

She eventually settled down -- in her super cute traditional Chinese dress -- as the fam and some friends hit up the Polo Bar for dinner, and more importantly ... killer birthday dessert from Sugar Factory!

Now, we know serving up cakes is nothing new for Kim -- she's been doing it for years -- but, the multi-layered one she sliced into for her daughter's party was spectacular ... complete with candy in the center! Just watch. (Diabetics might wanna look away)

Kanye and Kim Kardashian West celebrated North's birthday Friday ... and, while she came back from birthday present shopping with something pink, it wasn't a tutu or a stuffed animal.

Kanye and fam are in the Big Apple for Nas' album release party, but Friday morning the rapper was back on daddy duty with North -- who's celebrating her 5th birthday -- and one of her pals.

North dropped her usual "no pictures, please" line on their way back into their hotel in Midtown, but Kanye scored some major points on the gift ... a cool pink fighting fish.

"Aquaman" star Jason Momoa might be a fish out of water, but the guy's still chilled -- and hot AF -- doing a romantic picnic date with his wife, Lisa Bonet.

Momoa got to kick it with the missus Thursday in L.A. ... a nice break from all the work he's been doing lately in and around the water. Most recently he was in Hawaii doing reshoots for his superhero blockbuster, and showing off his "Aquaman" skills.

The couple got married last year after 12 years together. They have 2 kids together -- 10-year-old Lola and 9-year-old Nakoa-Wolf -- but the picnic was all about some QT. Adults only.
