NORTH'S THE FUTURE
TMZ.com

DeRay Davis is still reveling in the experience that was Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign's "Vultures" album listening party, and believes a real Ye comeback is imminent ... especially because his daughter's now on the mic!!!

We caught up with DeRay at LAX as he was just getting back from Miami, and he told us his experience wasn't like the rest of the internet's -- the comedian had an up-close look at Ye's controversial black KKK garb, which he thought was more of an "executioner's" outfit.

He also downplayed Ye's "I just f***ed a Jewish bitch" lyrics from the lead single "Vultures." Deray says critics shouldn't linger on that one line, because the rest of the tracks -- and the guest artist performances -- are banging.

He pits the album somewhere between "the old Kanye" with a bit of "808s and Heartbreak" sprinkled in between and praised the Kodak Black and Ty Dolla $ign's contributions ... but predicts North West will eventually be 10x the artist her dad is!!!

North is also an album guest alongside Lil Durk, Freddie Gibbs and Bump J and DeRay says her debut is only the beginning ... and advises fans to invest in her stock before she becomes the headlining act!!!

DeRay and Kanye have been tight from the start. He appeared on skits from Ye's first two classic albums -- he's the guy imitating fellow Chicago legend, the late Bernie Mac -- so, his "Vultures" support was gonna be automatic.

Bradley Cooper Daddy-Daughter Date to 'Maestro' ... Dolled Up for L.A. Premiere

Bradley Cooper conducted himself well during the premiere of his big Oscar-buzzy film this week -- playing the role of both A-lister and Papa Bear ... 'cause he brought his kid along.

The actor/director showed up dressed to the nines Tuesday night in L.A. for the debut of "Maestro," the Netflix movie in which he stars ... and for which he's said to be up for an Academy Award in due time. Notably, his date wasn't Gigi Hadid ... rather, he brought 6-year-old Lea.

Lea, of course, is his daughter that he shares with Irina Shayk ... who wasn't there either, BTW. She did show support online though -- posting a sweet shout-out to both of them.

Anyway, Brad was on daddy duty -- holding Lea's hand and escorting her along the carpet.

Obviously, it made for a super sweet moment in front of cameras -- but more importantly, it was a peek at BC's life behind the scenes. He normally takes great care to shield Lea away from the spotlight, and prioritizes privacy -- especially as it pertains to his family.

Last night, however, it seems he was ready to introduce her to the world ... cute kid.

Another highlight from the premiere came in a cool reunion between Lady Gaga and Brad ... who, of course, were in "A Star is Born" a few years back -- which was an award darling at the time. She didn't have anything to do with this latest flick ... she was just supporting.

Considering their success the last time around, her presence might be a good luck charm.

Now, controversy aside, "Maestro" is said to be big-time Oscar bait ... and seeing how Brad's in front of and behind the camera for this one -- he stands to walk away a major winner.

It's in select theaters now, and hits Netflix on the 20th.

Mercy Miller Master P's Son Drops 68 Points!! In High School Hoops Game

ABSOLUTELY ON FIRE
Fyrehouse E

Mercy 👏 Miller👏 Went👏 Off👏

Master P's son, one of the best high school basketball players in the entire country, had an absolutely gaudy stat line Monday night, dropping 68 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 assists on 28 for 38 shooting (74%)!!

Thanks to the ridiculous performance, Mercy Miller's Notre Dame Knights squad beat Oakwood, 104-44.

Mercy's 68 points were good enough for the ND school record (Sherman Oaks, CA) ... and one of the greatest scoring performances in California history.

Miller, a 6'4" guard who committed to the University of Houston last month, is averaging 36 points and 11 rebounds a game this season.

It shouldn't come as a shock that Mercy can hoop his ass off. His brother Hercy Miller hoops at the Univ. of Louisville ... and dad, aside from being a hip hop mogul, played in the NBA.

The undefeated, 6-0 Notre Dame team is regarded as one of the best teams in their division, the CIF Southern Section.

Mercy will have a few days to rest his arms after putting up all those shots ... his Knights team doesn't return to the court until December 19, when they'll play a 2-4 Marshall H.S. squad.

Notre Dame will also be in action on January 6th ... under the bright lights at Crypto.com Arena when they play in the Coastal Catholic Classic Game, with proceeds going to the You Are Not Alone Foundation, which helps kids struggling with mental health issues.

Look for another BIG performance ... and don't be surprised if the McDonald's AA Game folks start paying attention as Mercy continues to show he is one of the best players in the entire class.

Kim and Kroy Divorce Judge Orders Them to Mediation ... Work Out Your Issues!!!

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann have plenty of issues, and now the judge in their divorce case is cracking down ... ordering them to mediation in an attempt to hammer out a settlement.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Kim and Kroy are being directed to complete a mediation session by a Jan. 31 deadline.

The judge says Kim and Kroy have "numerous unresolved issues" and thinks they could benefit from mediation through the county's alternative dispute resolution program.

Obviously, mediation does not always work or guarantee Kim and Kroy will resolve their issues ... but the court is at least forcing them to give it the old college try.

WORK IT OUT!

As we've told you ... Kim and Kroy are divorcing amid tons of financial woes, and there's been several police visits to their Georgia home over explosive fights.

Kim and Kroy also have 4 young children so working out custody issues through mediation may be no cakewalk.

Stay tuned ...

Bronny James Makes USC Debut ... LeBron Watches From Courtside

Bronny James just made his college basketball debut ... and his dad, LeBron, had a front-row seat for the special moment.

The 19-year-old USC hooper entered Sunday's home contest against Long Beach State around the 13-minute mark in the first half ... and the Galen Center erupted as James stepped onto the court.

Of course, the former Sierra Canyon standout's college career was put on hold after he suffered cardiac arrest during a workout back in July ... but as we previously reported, he was given the green light late last week to finally suit up for games.

LeBron -- who vowed not to miss Bronny's first game, even if it conflicted with his Lakers schedule -- held up to his promise ... getting a courtside seat and documenting his son's entrance on his iPhone.

He also said following the Lakers' In-Season Tournament championship win over the Indiana Pacers on Saturday he was looking forward to being in L.A. for the game ... so we take it it was one helluva weekend for the James Gang.

The Galen Center is filled to the brim with fans lucky enough to catch Bronny in action ... and through the first half, he's logged a rebound, an assist and a block that would make his pops proud.

Elon Musk My Son Stands on the Shoulders of Greatness ... At Army-Navy Game

Elon Musk brought an important guest to the Army-Navy Game Saturday ... his 3-year-old son ... and there's backstory here.

X Æ A-Xii was perched on his dad's shoulders as they watched Army beat its rival by a 17-11 margin.

Elon and son stood out ... they were in civilian duds and surrounded by uniformed fans.

The two were all smiles as they posed with the Army Mules mascot at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts.

Elon was rooting for the winning team ... he's an Army fan.

As for the backstory ... Elon and Grimes are in a custody fight over their 3 kids. She filed for parental rights back in October.

BTW ... another Elon development -- he restored Alex Jones' X account, this after users voted to bring him back to the platform. There were nearly 2 million votes, and 70% gave Jones -- who, among other things, denied the Sandy Hook massacre was real -- a thumbs up.

Elon Musk lleva a su hijo al partido de fútbol

Elon Musk llevó a un invitado importante al partido de fútbol Army-Navy del sábado... su hijo de tres años.

X Æ A-Xii estaba encaramado a los hombros de su padre mientras veían al Ejército vencer a su rival por un margen de 17-11.

Elon y su hijo no pasaron desapercibidos. Se presentaron en trajes de civil y rodeados de fans uniformados.

Los dos eran todo sonrisas mientras posaban con la mascota Army Mules en el Gillette Stadium de Massachusetts.

Elon estaba apoyando al equipo ganador ya que es un fan del Ejército.

En cuanto a la historia de fondo, Elon y Grimes están en una lucha por la custodia de sus tres hijos. Ella solicitó la patria potestad en octubre.

A propósito, otra noticia de Elon; restauró la cuenta X de Alex Jones, esto después de que los usuarios votaron para traerlo de vuelta a la plataforma. Hubo dos millones de votos y el 70% fue para Jones, que entre otras cosas, negó que la masacre de Sandy Hook fuera real, un pulgar hacia arriba.

William and Kate Sometimes Things Are Black and White Casual and Serene XMAS Card

Two takeaways from Prince William and Princess Kate's family XMAS card -- they've scaled down the whole Royal look, and them kids are all grown up!!!

The card's in black and white and jeans seemed to be the standard issue for at least some of them, including Kate.

Now the kids ... who knew they grow up so fast? Prince George is 10, Princess Charlotte is 8 and Prince Louis is 5. They were all matchy matchy for the shoot.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

The card makes the fam look serene ... but there's a lot going on behind the scenes in the wake of Omid Scobie's scorcher, which claims, among other things, Kate and King Charles were the ones who raised concerns over the skin color of the soon-to-be-born first child of Meghan and Harry.

Kate and William have been mum on Scobie's book, but there are reports they might be considering legal action.

Merry XMAS!!!

Nia Long Hombre que dice ser su hijo Es detenido por agredir a una persona con un palo

Ser el hijo de Nia Long NO es una tarjeta que te libere de la cárcel, mucho menos cuando NO eres realmente su hijo, como descubrió un chico después de que supuestamente golpeara a un extraño con el poste de una carpa.

Las fuerzas policiales le dicen a TMZ que Tamir Rasool Morris fue detenido el pasado fin de semana en Santa Mónica después de haber sido acusado de golpear a una persona en el parque. Cuando los policías lo interrogaron, Morris dijo que su nombre era Massai Dorsey II, que es el nombre del verdadero hijo de Nia Long, de 23 años.

Lo que es espeluznante para Nia y su familia es que el tipo claramente ha investigado porque también le dio a los oficiales el día y el mes de nacimiento correctos de Massai, aunque se terminó equivocando con el año. Nos dicen que falló por 2 años.

Por supuesto, su red de mentiras se vinieron abajo cuando fue fichado y le tomaron las huellas dactilares, lo que reveló su verdadero nombre.

Según nuestras fuentes, la policía sospecha que Morris sacó la información de Massai de las redes sociales, pero esta quiere dejar claro que el verdadero Massai no estuvo involucrado en lo absoluto en el incidente, y parece que su nombre fue dado sin su conocimiento.

En cuanto a Morris, se encuentra actualmente en la cárcel bajo fianza de 30.000 dólares y fue fichado por asalto con arma mortal y suplantación falsa.

Nia Long Man Claiming to Be Her Son Arrested Assault with Tent Pole

Being Nia Long's son is NOT a get-out-of-jail-free card, especially when you're NOT really her son at all -- as a guy found out after he allegedly smacked a stranger with a tent pole.

Law enforcement tells TMZ ... Tamir Rasool Morris was arrested last weekend in Santa Monica where cops say he assaulted a random person in a park. When officers questioned him, Morris told them his name was Massai Dorsey II ... which is the name of Nia's actual 23-year-old son.

What's creepy for Nia and her fam is this guy's clearly done some research ... because he also gave officers Massai's correct birth day and month, but finally slipped up with the year. We're told he was off by 2 years.

Of course, his web of lies fell apart when he was booked and fingerprinted ... which revealed his real name.

According to our sources, cops suspect Morris pulled Massai's info from social media, but Santa Monica PD wants to make it clear ... the real Massai was not at all involved in the incident, and his name was given without his knowledge.

As for Morris, he's currently sitting in jail in lieu of $30,000 bail, and was booked for assault with a deadly weapon and false impersonation.

Tom Brady De nuevo en el ruedo con Irina Shayk... Igual que en los viejos tiempos, ¿eh?

Tom Brady e Irina Shayk parecen estar de vuelta después de aparecer juntos en una fiesta en Miami, porque el tipo literalmente la recogió justo antes y fue capturado en el acto.

El retirado jugador regresó el viernes por la noche para hacer cosas que solo los mejores pueden hacer en la Ciudad Mágica, donde se está llevando a cabo Art Basel este fin de semana, con un montón de celebridades de fiesta, incluyendo TB12 e Irina, que parece que andaban juntos en el carro de Tom.

Echa un vistazo a las fotos. Tom se detuvo donde se estaba alojando Irina para recogerla, y apenas se dieron cuenta de que había un fotógrafo, se pusieron nerviosos y volaron de allí lo más rápido posible.

Afortunadamente, estas fotos fueron tomadas antes de su huida y muestran a Irina entrando al carro de Tom, mientras él rehúye de los flashes. Más tarde, esa misma noche, Tom fue visto en una fiesta llena de estrellas en la ciudad... pero sin rastro de Irina cerca de él.

Su sola presencia en la mansión privada de Wayne y Cynthia Boich el viernes habría sido suficiente para poner en los rumores de nuevo, pero estas fotos lo dicen todo, y es que están saliendo de nuevo. O por lo menos, que están coqueteando, que es todo lo que nos importa en realidad.

Curiosamente, este encuentro nos recuerda a la primera vez que vimos a Tom e Irina de paseo a principios de este verano, donde también fueron capturados juntos y poniéndose cariñosos. Es una escena muy parecida y parece que el hombre es de la vieja escuela con sus citas.

Aunque habíamos oído que su relación se había esfumado a finales de verano, había señales de que Irina seguía viendo a Tom. El mes pasado apareció en su edificio en Nueva York y lo hizo muy llamativamente, cruzando nada menos que por la entrada principal.

Por supuesto, ella también ha estado saliendo mucho con su ex y padre de su hija por estos días. Pero es bastante evidente que ella y Bradley Cooper son solo grandes padres y amigos (vean a Gigi).

Acabamos de ver a Irina mezclándose con Brad en la Gran Manzana. Fue una de las primeras clientas en llegar a su recién inaugurado carro de comida y él parecía muy contento de verla.

Como dijimos, Irina y Bradley Cooper son dos guisantes en una vaina, pero al parecer solo platónicamente ahora.

De todos modos, es bueno ver a Tom recuperando su gracia después de la jubilación. Teniendo en cuenta que su exesposa está constantemente saliendo con su instructor de jiu-jitsu -incluso junto a sus propios hijos- el hombre merece tener un poco de diversión también. E Irina parece ser la persona.

No se le puede culpar por volver por una segunda ronda con ella ... Ella es jodidamente buena, después de todo.

¡Felicidades a los dos!

Tom Brady Back in the Car with Irina Shayk ... Just Like Old Times, Eh?!?

Tom Brady and Irina Shayk sure seem to be back on after hitting up a party together in Miami -- 'cause the dude literally picked her up right beforehand, and got caught in the act.

The retired QB was back to doing G.O.A.T. things again Friday night in Magic City -- where Art Basel is going down this weekend ... and where a crap ton of celebs are out and about ... including TB12 and Irina, it seems, who were rolling together in Tom's sweet ride.

Check out the pics ... Tom pulled up to wherever IS was staying to pick her up curbside -- and as soon as they noticed a photog, they got skittish and flew outta there ASAP.

Fortunately, these photos were snapped before their getaway -- which shows Irina hopping into Tom's passenger seat, and Tom shying away from the flashes. Later this same evening, Tom was seen at a star-studded shindig in town ... no sign of Irina near him though.

Their presence alone at Wayne and Cynthia Boich's private mansion party Friday would've been enough to get the rumor mill going again -- but these shots seal the deal ... they're dating again. Or at the very least, they're banging ... which is all anyone cares about, really.

Interestingly enough, Tom and Irina's car ride here echoes the first time we saw them together earlier this summer -- where they were also caught cruisin' in his whip and getting cozy. This is a very similar scene ... looks like the dude is old school with his dates.

Although we'd heard that their relationship/fling had fizzled out by the end of summer, there were signs Irina was still seeing Tom ... she popped into his condo building in NYC last month, and did so very conspicuously -- through the main front entrance.

Of course, she's also been hanging out a lot with her ex/baby daddy Bradley Cooper these days -- but it's pretty evident at this point that they're just great co-parents/pals (see Gigi).

We just saw Irina mingling with Brad in the Big Apple, where she was among the first customers to hit up his just-launched food truck ... and he looked damn happy to see her.

Like we said ... her and BC are two peas in a pod, but seemingly just platonically now.

Anyway, good to see Tom getting his groove back post-retirement. Considering his ex-wife is constantly jet-setting with her jiu-jitsu instructor all the time -- alongside their own kids, no less -- he deserves to have a little fun too. And Irina seems to be just the ticket for him.

Can't blame him for coming back for round 2 with her ... she is smokin' hot, after all.

Happy art hunting, you two!
