Guess Who This Footballer Turned Into!

Before this kneeling athlete became a popular television personality, an entrepreneur and a father of three, he was an outside linebacker for The University of California.

Because of his strong physique and stature, this teenager became a bodyguard for bands Soundgarden, Slayer, and singer-songwriter Glenn Danzig. He is definitely most known for his welding abilities in addition to his mechanic skills when it comes to cars, which led him to hosting Discovery Channel's "Monster Garage."

Need one more nudge towards who this baller is? You may have seen him on the hit show "West Coast Choppers."

Can you guess who he is?

Pete Davidson Holds Saint's Hand While Shopping ... No Kim (or Kanye) in Sight

Pete at Grove 6/4/22
PETE PLAY DATE
TMZ.com

Pete Davidson is in full-blown stepdad mode -- at the ripe young age of 28 -- 'cause the guy already feels comfortable enough to grab a hold of Kim and Kanye's son's hand.

The 'SNL' alum was at The Grove shopping plaza in L.A. Saturday with 6-year-old Saint West, who was holding on tight to Papa Pete while they perused the shops and right before they went into the Cheesecake Factory ... with what appears to be a lone bodyguard standing by.

Eyewitnesses tell us that hat Saint's wearing is actually one PD bought for him ... which the kid seemed to appreciate, seeing how he let Pete guide him through the paved Grove paths.

We're told there was no sight of Kim here, or the other children. And no -- Ye wasn't around either ... as you could imagine. He'd probably flip his lid if he saw this with his own two 👀.

HANGIN' WITH PETE
TMZ.com

Unfortunately for him, he might just have to get used to it ... because it's becoming clearer the longer this relationship lasts that Pete has certainly met the children already, and will continue to be around. Not just that, but he's pretty cozy with them ... and they with him.

We already saw North sitting in Pete's lap a few months ago while he was driving her around in a golf cart ... which is the sort of thing that, y'know, actual fathers do usually.

Of course, there's also the issue of the apparent neck tattoo he got that bears all the children's first name initials (plus Kim's) ... which caused a lot of controversy in and of itself.

It would appear Kim's all good with it though ... and again, it just speaks to how serious they are as a couple. It's been less than a year that they've been together -- and yet, they're almost looking like a blended family these days. Especially with moments like these.

Something tells us that if Pete and Kim are still together through the holidays, this year's Kardashian Christmas card is going to potentially look very different via a new addition.

Welcome to the family, Petey!

COACH DIESEL

Hall of Fame hooper and amazing TV personality first ... successful NBA head coach next?!?

Shareef O'Neal says it wouldn't shock him if his dad did just that ... telling TMZ Sports that Shaq has the skill set that it takes to one day run a team in the Association.

"I mean, he's coached a few of my teams," Shareef said of his pops. "My last AAU tournament, he coached into a championship."

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

In fact, Shareef said his dad helped several of his youth teams win multiple titles.

Shareef, though, said he wasn't exactly certain the success there would translate to the NBA -- but he definitely wasn't ruling it out.

As for if he thinks the Big Diesel would actually leave his DJ gigs and his TV roles to sit on an NBA bench again ... watch the clip, seems from Shareef's perspective, Shaq's at least thought about it.

Boosie The (Grand)Baby's Not Mine!!! Tootie Supposedly Cleared

YOU ARE *NOT* THE GRANDFATHER!

Boosie is a happy man this weekend -- he looks like someone who just found out they weren't the father on "Maury" ... except, he's celebrating vicariously through his own seed.

The rapper posted a wild video showing himself screaming in pure joy from within his car ... touting the idea that his 18-year-old, Tootie Raww, was supposedly cleared by a DNA test as NOT being the father to a baby that his GF/would-be baby mama allegedly claimed was his.

Check it out ... his victory lap is hilariously on-brand for Boosie. He's shouting from the top of his lungs and praising Jesus that the baby isn't his ... son's.

Boosie claims Tootie's SO brought somebody else's kid down to his high school graduation recently and sprung it on him like he was the father -- and Boosie thinks it was all BS ... even going on to call it a "conspiracy." Unclear if he's joking or not ... seems to be though.

Tootie appears to have taken ownership ... he was posing for photos with the child. But, his dad was skeptical from the beginning -- saying he didn't think this was Tootie's baby.

Boosie has also posted a ton of alleged receipts that he believes clear this up even further, throwing up photos of the supposed "real" mom and dad ... saying it's further evidence.

At any rate, congrats Boosie ... we think??? 😅

Queen Elizabeth Meets Great-Granddaughter Lilibet For First Time!!! But, Royal Rift Still Evident

Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee celebrations seem to be a real family affair, with a bonus ... Her Majesty was finally introduced to her great-granddaughter, Lilibet.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle presented the Queen her namesake during a private lunch. Other royals were present. We don't know if Harry's brother, William was at the lunch, nor do we know if his dad, Charles, was present.

There are reports William and Kate will NOT be present Saturday for Lilibet's first birthday party. As you know, there's bad blood between Harry, his dad and his brother for various reasons, not the least of which Harry and Meghan have insinuated one of them made racist comments about Archie.

There are clear, visual signs of a rift between William and Harry. Check out this photo at the National Service of Thanksgiving, taken Friday. They are sitting on complete opposite sides of the church.

Meghan and Harry took a backseat during the traditional balcony wave ... the Palace made it clear ... balcony presence was for "working senior royals."

Harry, Meghan and the kids are getting the security they demanded ... they're being protected by armed police.

It seems the Jubilee is turning out to be a warm family celebration after all ... at least, between the Queen and her great-granddaughter, Lili.

ALL SMILES
Fox News

Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee -- honoring her 70 years on the throne -- is officially underway with the royal family, and that includes Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ... although they're not exactly in the Queen's spotlight.

The 4-day celebration kicked off with a military parade in front of Buckingham Palace. The display is called "Trooping the Colour" -- it formally honors the Queen's birthday -- and QE2 was out on her balcony taking in all the action.

All the buzz about the Jubilee is who's making the traditional balcony appearance with her: Prince Charles and Camilla, Prince William and Kate Middleton and their 3 children.

Y'know ... all the "working" Senior Royals.

Most notably, Harry and Meghan are NOT there on the balcony -- and nor is Prince Andrew, who recently settled his Jeffrey Epstein-related case.

However, Harry and Meghan are in the Palace for their first public royal event as a couple since 2020 ... they're just positioned in a different room to watch the parade.

They're watching from the Major General Office ... along with several of the Queen's other grand and great-grandchildren -- such as Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.

You can see in the pics, Meghan's charming some of the younger royals. It's kinda cute -- think of it as the kids' table at your Thanksgiving dinner ... and Harry and Meghan are definitely holding court.

Guess Who This Pigtail Cutie Turned Into!

Before this brown-eyed doll was pooshin' her way onto your television screens and making you chuckle, she was just your ordinary school girl growing up in Beverly Hills, California.

When this mini woman with her mini red tie isn't sharing her health and lifestyle tips, you can either find her enjoying the open waters of Spain, the mountain tops of Montana or the attractions at Disneyland. Aside from her longtime love for traveling, she also has a newfound love and does not hold back when it comes to smoochin' on her hubby.

It's all about boundaries for this famous sista!

Master P's Daughter Tytyana Cops Suspect Fatal Overdose ... Master P Vows to Help Others Battling Addiction

Master P's family is grieving the loss of his daughter, Tytyana Miller, and cops are working to determine exactly how she died, with initial evidence suggesting it was an overdose.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... drug paraphernalia was found at the scene of Tytyana's death, indicating it might have killed her ... but there were no substances present on the scene.

We're told the autopsy has been completed, but toxicology results will take several weeks.

As we've reported with other cases, fentanyl has been a silent killer in many OD deaths. Our law enforcement sources tell us there's no evidence right now it's connected to Tytyana's death -- but if it shows up in toxicology, we're told LAPD investigators will go into overdrive to find out who supplied the drugs.

As we reported, Master P made the devastating announcement he'd lost Tytyana over the holiday weekend. While he and his family are mourning, Master P tells TMZ ... "The only way that we are going to heal and grow from this is with the truth. It has been a long and painful journey for our family, my daughter has been battling with this since 2015. Mental illness and substance abuse is a real issue and we hope to turn this tragedy into a testimony."

He adds, "As a father, I have always established parameters to protect my children. Unfortunately, when they become adults, they have the legal right to choose who to have relationships with whether healthy or unhealthy."

Tytyana's brother, Romeo Miller, also posted a heartfelt message about his sister, saying, "We appreciate all of the prayers, love, and support, and although this is sad times, I'm forever grateful for the memories I did have with my amazing sister."

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Amazingly, even as he grieves, Master P is thinking about other families in the same situation -- "I put my faith and trust in God, I realize that no person is exempt from pain or death. Every day families are dealing with the loss of their loved ones due to mental illness and substance abuse. I have committed to invest my time, resources and passion to help other families affected by these same issues. Our healing process will not end in grief, we will celebrate my daughter's life. Tytyana was inspiring, uplifting, artistic and a loving person who deeply cared for others."

Tytyana was one of Master P's 4 daughters ... she was only 29.

The Rock Daughter Claps Back At Haters ... Over Wrestling Name

Simone Johnson, daughter of WWE Hall of Famer Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, is kickin' ass and takin' names before ever stepping foot in a WWE ring ... hitting back at "fans" criticizing her wrestling name.

On Sunday, the 20-year-old, who signed with WWE in 2020, announced her pro wrestling name would be "Ava Raine" ... which disappointed some fans.

The trolls came out in full force saying "The Pebble" (sigh) would be a more fitting name -- an obvious play on The Rock's on-camera name.

Well, Simone is already following in her father's footsteps, and was quick with the comebacks, saying, "I beg of you guys to find a new joke. Anything."

She went on ... "I probably sound like a broken record & hopefully this is the last I'll mention this, but I don't understand why people being portrayed as separate individuals from their family name is such a heated topic."

"A name doesn't discredit any prior accomplishments from any family."

It's not easy being the child of a WWE legend such as The Rock -- one of the greatest sports entertainers in the world -- and Simone recognizes she'll be judged harshly no matter what she does.

"I could build my entire career around my father & people would still bash me anyway," Simone tweeted.

Simone is a fourth-generation wrestler. Her grandpa (Rock's dad) was Rocky Johnson, and her great-grandfather, Peter "High Chief" Maivia ... both paved the way for Dwayne.

A knee injury initially delayed Simone's WWE debut, but she's expected to make her first appearance sometime later this year.

Can you guess who she is?

KANYE WEST Revives Custody War With Kim ... In New XXXTentacion Song

Kanye West's back at it again, airing grievances about how his four children with Kim Kardashian are being raised ... this time in a brand new single with the late XXXTentacion.

Ye and X's "True Love" was released on Thursday night, and while the song as a whole explores the struggles of being in a relationship and keeping love alive ... Ye laments in his opening verse about how he doesn't spend as much time with his children as he wants to.

His verse opens with, "Wait, when you see the kids? I'll see y'all tomorrow // Wait, when the sunset? I see y'all tomorrow"

There's more. Ye almost makes it sound like the kids couldn't see him even if they wanted to, saying ... "And you know all the nannies said, "Daddy in Nebraska" / Let the kids dig a tunnel to my house like Chapo."

SORRY FOR ALL THE S**T
HULU

As we reported ... Kim apologized to her family on the most recent episode of "The Kardashians" for attacks Kanye had made towards them of late, via music -- specifically, in his track "Eazy," where he invoked Pete Davidson.

Kanye has obviously never been one to bite his tongue, especially when it comes to how his kids are being raised. You'll recall ... he and Kim beefed a few months back over 8-year-old North West's use of social media, among other things.

Mind you, Ye hasn't been cut off from the kids, as he just enjoyed a daddy-daughter date with North at Nobu. So, he's certainly seeing them -- but it sounds like he doesn't like the nature of sharing custody in general ... or at least that's the sense we get from his new single here.

Guess Who This Beach Babe Turned Into!

Before this futuristic kid was putting on disco-pop shows around the world, she was just a classy gal posing on the beach with her shades in London.

This cool girl broke into the music industry by setting her own new rules and she prides herself on redefining pop music. Andrea Bocelli, Miley Cyrus and Pop Smoke are just some of the industry geniuses she has collaborated with.

Yes, her musical chops and idyllic dance moves have scored her a Grammy win (or three) ... however it is her creativity and sensuality that continue to have her "Loves" gushing over her.

Can you guess who she is?

Kanye West Daddy Daughter Date ... NOBU with North

Kanye West is apparently back on dad duty after some time away in Japan and NYC ... grabbing some grub at one of L.A.'s hottest spots with his oldest kid.

Kanye and North West were spotted leaving NOBU in Malibu Wednesday -- marking the first time we've seen Kanye with any of his kids in quite some time. NOBU is obviously a celeb hot spot, and one of Kanye's favorites, so it's not totally shocking they decided to go there.

As we reported, Kanye was recently in Japan with his girlfriend, Chaney Jones, before he hit New York City for the Balenciaga show.

No sign of Chaney at NOBU, though she and Kanye have been linked together for several months now, and it's possible she might now be in L.A. with him.

Of course, Kanye accused Kim of holding his kids from him through a series of social media posts months ago. Kim denied that, saying he's never been barred from seeing the kids, but has also tried to maintain a routine for the 4.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Most recently, Kim hosted a third birthday party for their youngest, Psalm, but Kanye was not in attendance. Unclear whether or not he was invited.

Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson's sons didn't just scoop up a 4-bedroom home, the place is more like a palatial estate!

The home, tucked behind a wrought iron gate and towering oak trees, also includes a 400-sq.-ft. guest house and a massive swimming pool. There's even a bridge behind the gate with a paver-stone driveway leading to the motor court and 2-car garage.

TMZ broke the story ... Brandon and Dylan sold their crib in Malibu -- where they lived most of their lives -- getting their asking price of $3 million after 2 months on the market.

Now, 25-year-old Brandon and 24-year-old Dylan are all grown up, and putting down new roots.

Cooper Mount from The Agency represented the Lee bros, while Craig Knizek and Andrea Korchek from The Agency represented the sellers.

Guess Who This Charming Kid Turned Into!

Before this cute kid was starring in tv shows and movies, he was acting for his high school's drama club in San Bernardino, California.

This beaming young man got his 'big break' when he landed a role in the drama film "Short Term 12" back in 2013. Soon after, he portrayed rapper Snoop Dog in the biographical musical crime film "Straight Outta Compton."

Still not able to put your finger on who this cute kid is? He is also a singer and released his debut album in 2020, in addition to being a member of the band "Moors."

Can you guess who he is?
