Shannon Sharpe is going off on all the trolls hating on Bronny James for his white prom date ... telling TMZ Sports the bashing of LeBron James' son is "utterly ridiculous."

Bronny just had his prom earlier this month -- and after he took a white classmate to the event ... racist haters came out and left nasty comments all over the photos on social media.

Sharpe told us out at LAX this past week that the attacks were BS ... saying, "People would rather you be miserable with someone your own race than you be in love with someone of a different race."

"It is so utterly ridiculous," he continued. "People need to get a life."

The Pro Football Hall of Famer's advice for Bronny was simply to ignore the noise -- and do whatever he wants to do to make him happy.

"Bronny can't live his life for someone else," Sharpe said. "He has to live for him. And, far too many people live their life for other people."

Ex-NFL star Robert Griffin III made similar comments last week ... saying in a video on his Instagram page, "Leave these kids alone."

LeBron, meanwhile, has still not commented publicly on the backlash ... though he did write a note about his daughter, Zhuri, on one of the now-viral pics from the evening.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker's extravagant wedding was definitely a picture-worthy event -- but, there's one dude who was NOT down with photo ops -- Kourt's son, Reign Disick.

Walking alongside Kim Kardashian and North West ... Kourt's 7-year-old son gave paps the ol' "no pictures" on his way to see his mom exchange vows. Evidently, the photographers didn't scatter fast enough, because Reign loudly added ... "Give us a break!"

It's hilarious ... while he's the youngest of the 3 walking to the wedding, he's the one to speak up and give the paparazzi a piece of his mind.

As you know, Sunday marked Kourtney and Travis' 3rd time tying the knot.

They went all out ... exchanging vows in front of family and friends at the seaside compound of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana in Portofino, Italy.

Of course, this wouldn't be the first time a little member of the Kardashian clan fired off at photogs. It's almost like Reign took a page out of his big cousin's book.

Remember ... North told off paparazzi a few years ago, while leaving the extremely popular Museum of Ice Cream.

Before this cute kid with a blonde wig and straw hat was being dressed for big-time acting roles, she was just another kid playing dress-up, growing up in Los Angeles, California.

If you're still having a hard time deciding who this mini woman getting 'wiggy' with it is, just think back to the little girl in "The Lost World. Jurassic Park." One of her first notable, starring roles came in the 2006 film "When A Stranger Calls."

Even though this star no longer rocks the blonde wig, she now sports a shorter hairdo.

Flavor Flav is making monthly child support payments for his 3-year-old son, but he's still got a pretty big balance owed to his baby mama.

According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Flav found out in 2019, shortly after little Jordan was born, that he was the dad, with the help of a DNA test.

Fast forward to 2021 ... Flav and the baby's mother, Kate Gammell -- his former manager -- were hashing out a child support agreement and agreed he would pay $3,000 a month going forward. No problem here .... Flav's been making the monthly payments.

Thing is ... by the time he started paying, Jordan was already 2 years old, and Kate had incurred various expenses, including medical, that she wanted Flav to pay. As part of the child support agreement, Flav said he would pay the baby's expenses for the first 2 years, totaling $78,704.

He was supposed to make his first payment of the $78k last month, but according to Kate's family, the deadline came and went and she didn't get the loot.

Flav tells TMZ ... he fully intends to pay the $78k, and is working with an accountant to straighten out his finances. Flav makes it clear ... he's making the $3,000 monthly child support payments. He's also paying down her $100,000 in attorney's fees -- he's paid $40k already.

FF adds ... he's doing his very best to provide for and be there for the son he loves.

Khloe Kardashian is far far away from home, celebrating her sister Kourtney's wedding, so while she's gone Tristan Thompson is performing daddy duty, and it's pretty cute.

Tristan posed pics of 4-year-old True ... with the caption, "Twinz❤️❤️."

That was followed up by some serious haircare, with True becoming a mini-stylist ... applying hair gel on Tristan's dome. True is a pro, telling her dad, "I have to wash this" as she carefully styles pops. Tristan's review -- "Stylin' by True."

Tristan and Khloe are not together, but it seems they've figured out a way to make co-parenting work ... something we've seen isn't always easy, even in her own family.

As for Khloe ... she doesn't seem to have much child anxiety ... she's clearly having a blast in Portofino, celebrating her sister's wedding ... wedding #3!

Kim Kardashian says her life and the lives of her children are in danger, after receiving scores of letters that threaten their lives and one where the letter writer threatened to blow up her office with a bomb.

Kim's lawyer, Shawn Holley, beelined for court Monday to get a restraining order against David Resendiz, someone Kim says she's never even met. Kim says somehow Resendiz got her home and business addresses and began sending a slew of letters -- more than 80 -- threatening her and her 4 kids in various ways.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Kim says Resendiz made numerous false and delusional claims about her intimate relationships. She says he's made "disturbing sexual references about me in his letters."

Kim says he's threatened in multiple letters to kill her. And, she says, on April 25, she received a written bomb threat in a letter delivered to one of her business offices. She says the letter is a dead ringer for the ones Resendiz previously sent.

Kim says she's scared for her safety and the safety of her family. She believes unchecked ... Resendiz could harm or even kill her.

Here's the first look at Rihanna the mother ... she's been spotted in public for the first time since giving birth to a baby boy.

RiRi ventured out in Los Angeles on Thursday with her bodyguard, keeping it casual with an oversize gray sweatshirt, some baggy black pants and her hair up in a bun as she left her home in West Hollywood and climbed into the back of an SUV.

Rihanna certainly hasn't compromised her style ... rocking her huge gold necklaces, and designer sunglasses.

TMZ broke the story ... Rihanna gave birth to her first child on May 13 in L.A. She and father A$AP Rocky are still mum on their little baby boy's name, and we haven't seen his face yet, but momma's giving the paps what they want.

Remember ... RiRi and Rocky announced her pregnancy back in January, with a photo shoot in New York City, and she proudly showed off her baby bump throughout her journey to motherhood.

There were some bumps along the way ... namely Rocky getting arrested in a surprise bust as the couple's plane touched down at LAX after a romantic getaway to her native Barbados. Law enforcement sources told us the arrest was in connection to an incident where A$AP is accused of firing gunshots at an acquaintance, grazing the man's hand.

Rihanna stuck by her man, cheering for him backstage at one of his recent performances.

Before this cute kid was serving up looks on the runway and gracing the covers of countless magazine covers, she was just a little chef cooking up something awesome in Santa Barbara, California.

Modeling definitely runs through the family gene pool for this top model, but she definitely has put her own touch on her craft. Aside from seeing her on the catwalk, you probably have seen her on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."

Still not sure who this posing princess is ... one last hint: her father is one of the richest real estate developers in the world!

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are officially parents ... welcoming a baby boy to the world.

That's right, it's the couple's first kid together -- sources with direct knowledge tell us he was born on May 13 in Los Angeles -- but we don't yet know his name.

The last time we saw Rihanna was on May 9 in Los Angeles for Mother's Day weekend when she and Rocky grabbed dinner at Giorgio Baldi.

It was back in January when the couple announced they were expecting -- with an NYC photo shoot -- both sets of fans went nuts with excitement for RiRi and A$AP.

While Rihanna looked stunning throughout her pregnancy ... wearing designer looks and proudly showing off her baby bump, there was also some drama that went down.

As we reported, A$AP was arrested just last month in a surprise bust as the couple's private plane touched down at LAX. Law enforcement sources told us the bust was in connection to an incident where Rocky is accused of firing shots at an acquaintance, grazing his hand.

Nonetheless, Rihanna continued to support A$AP, even attending one of his shows, cheering for him backstage just a week after the arrest.

Robert Griffin III is firing back at the racist haters attacking LeBron James' son, Bronny, for taking a white classmate to prom ... saying, "LEAVE THESE KIDS ALONE!!!"

That's right -- grown ass people are mad about who a 17-year-old kid took to a dance.

Here's the deal -- LeBron's wife, Savannah, shared shots of Bronny's big day to social media on Wednesday ... showing the junior hooper and his date, a senior student at Sierra Canyon, all dressed up for the event.

Bronny was decked out in a flashy blue and black suit ... and his transportation of choice was a custom-print Mercedes with a sporty spoiler, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Pretty awesome, right??

Well, some disgusting haters took issue with Bronny's date not being black ... commenting some awful responses under Savannah's post -- even accusing the girl of being a gold digger.

Enter RG3, who defended the teenagers in a passionate tweet this week.

"LEAVE THESE KIDS ALONE!" Griffin -- who is married to Estonian athlete Grete Sadeiko -- said on Wednesday.

"People clowning Bronny for his prom date are just miserable. Let them enjoy their day."

RG3 followed up with a passionate video ... saying the hate is giving off creepy energy.

Griffin has previously shut down his own criticism for not marrying a black woman ... saying, "It is not anti-black to love someone outside your race."

Baby Future is not a baby anymore -- and Russell Wilson just sent his stepson a heartfelt message on his 8th birthday ... calling him the "greatest blessing in the world."

Russ was spreading love to the lil' man bright and early on Thursday -- posting a side-by-side pic of the two on social media ... expressing what Ciara's child with rapper Future means to him.

"Happy Bday Future!" Russ said on Twitter. "8yrs old! You are the greatest blessing in the world to me!"

"So full of the fruit of the Spirit of Jesus! Love, Joy, Peace, Forbearance, Kindness, Goodness, & Faithfulness! Galatians 5:22."

He added ... "Mommy, Daddy, Sienna, & Win love you to Heaven & back!"

Of course, Russ' relationship with the rapper's son has sparked drama in the past -- Future previously called the Super Bowl champ out for being seen out in public with his son ... saying, "At the end of the day, I'm not for the publicity stunts. Leave my son out of the publicity stunts. Just leave him out of your relationship."

No word on Russ and Future's status now ... but as we previously reported, the Wilsons booked it after the "I Never Liked You" spitter popped up at a Super Bowl party earlier this year.

Russ also shared a pic of Future Zahir rocking a baseball jersey and holding a trophy ... so the kid is definitely following in his stepdad's footsteps.

While Wilson was a two-sport athlete -- he was drafted by the Rockies in 2010 -- he seems fully supportive of Future's future on the diamond, once calling him "The next Griffey Jr."

Flavor Flav has a new mouth to feed -- after taking a paternity test, it's been confirmed he has a 3-year-old son, who will now bear Dad's surname.

The boy's name is Jordan and his maternal grandparents, Barry and Parchi, tell TMZ ... their daughter, Kate, used to be Flav's manager for a few years -- a period during which they had a romantic relationship.

At some point, Kate -- who no longer works for Flav -- got pregnant and had Jordan, but for a good while, we're told Flav wasn't sure the kid was his son.

However, since then ... Jordan's grandparents tell us FF submitted DNA which lined up with Jordan's. Sooo, as Maury would put it ... Flav IS the father!!!

We're told child support and a custody arrangement have been established. It also sounds like Flav is spending more QT with Jordan these days -- he's taught him how to play the drums a bit -- and he's talked to Kate about Jordan taking his family name ... Drayton.

They've already filed legal docs to make it official, and there will be a hearing later this year. Jordan is Flav's eighth child, so as he might put it ... yeahhhh little boyyyy!!!

Before this girl turned into a teen idol and a multi-award-winning actress, she was a child model .. hanging and posing outdoors in San Francisco, California.

While this photogenic chick with beach-perfect blonde hair is most known for her role in the hit comedy film "Clueless," she's also a loving and goofy mom, who enjoys sharing her tight-knit relationship with her son on Instagram.

Her acting genre-repertoire spans from comedy to thriller. Oh, and speaking of thrillers ... she made her film debut in the thriller "The Crush" in 1993.

Odell Beckham Jr. is making sure the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree -- the NFL superstar is already teaching his 3-month-old son how to hold a football ... and channeling "Remember the Titans" in the process!!

The Super Bowl champ shared the adorable father-son moment on Monday ... placing a toy football on Zydn's right forearm and armpit to ensure it doesn't leave his grasp.

"You drop a ball, you run a mile," the 29-year-old said.

Of course, Beckham is doing his best Herman Boone impression -- who can forget Denzel Washington's iconic speech in the 2000 flick??

But, Odell knows what it takes to be great -- at Isidore Newman School in New Orleans, he played receiver, quarterback, running back and corner ... and was also a beast in basketball, soccer and track & field (just like his mom).

OBJ went on to play for the LSU Tigers and was drafted by the NY Giants in 2014 ... where he recorded one of the best catches in NFL history. So yeah, the dude knows a thing or two about ball security.

Beckham finally won his first Super Bowl with the LA Rams earlier this year ... and his son with Lauren Wood was born a few days later.

American actor and producer Jonathan Lipnicki was just 9 years old when he played George Little -- the Little family's oldest son who accepts and eventually establishes a bond with the family's pet mouse, after winning a boat race together -- in the 1999 film "Stuart Little."

Jonathan shared the big screen with Michael J. Fox playing the mouse voice of Stuart Little, Geena Davis as Mrs. Eleanor Little, Hugh Laurie as Mr. Frederick Little and Nathan Lane as Snowbell.

Lipnicki is also known for playing the fact-spitting little kid Ray Boyd in the 1996 film "Jerry Maguire."

Now that Norman Reedus is coming clean about his child's name -- after 3 years of silence -- he knows, more than most, what Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott are going through with their baby naming sitch.

We got with the 'Walking Dead' star at LAX and asked about his daughter, Nova, and any words of wisdom he might have for Trav and Kylie ... who still haven't gone public with their baby boy's name.

Norman says he and partner Diane Kruger only decided to share Nova's name because she's not so little anymore ... otherwise, they'd continue keeping things as private as possible.

He also had some advice for Kylie and Travis, telling us they shouldn't feel pressure to share the name.

As we've reported, Kylie and Travis announced they were changing their baby's name a month after welcoming him to the world. They'd initially named him Wolf Jacques Webster, but later said the handle just didn't fit.
