celebrity kids

Before this brown-eyed boy turned into a social media star, he was a big-time tennis player ... and part-time clown ... growing up in Illinois and made his way to the West Coast to kick off his viral stardom right after high school graduation.

He definitely rose to fame back in the Vine days, but his popularity on YouTube propelled him into the Hollywood scene. Possibly you've heard of the "Vlog Squad," but if you haven't ... maybe you can stop by his pizza shop on Sunset Blvd, and he can tell you all about it!

Brad Pitt's daughter, Shiloh, apparently wants nothing to do with him -- or at the very least, nothing to do with his last name ... 'cause she's dropping his surname officially.

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt -- who just turned 18 a few days ago on May 27 -- filed paperwork requesting a legal name change ... specifically, dropping the "Pitt" from her last name and making her new name simply "Shiloh Jolie."

Mind you ... this doc was literally filed on Monday, which was on Memorial Day ... and also happens to be her 18th birthday. So, it seems this was one of the first things she wanted to do as an adult.

Diddy is missing some key milestones for his kids as his legal troubles mount -- and this week he'll be MIA for the latest one, involving his 17-year-old daughter Chance.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Chance is set to put on her cap and gown Thursday for her graduation from Sierra Canyon School in the L.A. area -- and while we're told other family members are flying in for the ceremony, her dad won't be present.

We're told Diddy's already communicated this news to the family, although he did not offer any exact reason for his absence -- but it can't be all that shocking to them.

Bronny James is done playing college basketball ... his agent, Rich Paul, said Tuesday the 19-year-old is staying in this year's NBA draft class.

LeBron James' kid had until Wednesday night to make the decision ... but Paul told ESPN the former USC star's mind is already made up.

"He's staying in the draft," Paul said.

Hope you're well rested from the holiday weekend ... because we have some TMZ TV Hot Takes to share.

First up, on "TMZ Live," Harvey and Charles break down Robert De Niro's appearance outside Donald Trump's trial ... where the Oscar winner went toe-to-toe with supporters of 45.

Before this lil cutie from Salt Lake City was stirrin' up the pot on reality telvision, she was just diggin' into her treasure chest and pulling out the sparkles and tutus, before making her way to West Hollywood, California.

She may NOW live in the valley, but she opened up a sandwich shop just a hop, skip and jump away from her good ole' stomping grounds ... SUR!

No longer serving crispy chicken and goat cheese balls ... today you can catch her on the pod with Dayna Kathan.

"These are the best days of our lives!"

Marc Lamont Hill is over people complaining about nepo-babies in Hollywood ... sharing his stance on the heels of North West's controversial "Lion King" casting.

We got the author Tuesday on "TMZ Live," where he defended Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's oldest daughter for using her celebrity status to land a role in the Hollywood Bowl production of the Disney classic -- despite her lack of singing ability.

Marc said out loud the thing just about everyone in showbiz already knows -- "In every movie, every play, every domain of pop culture, somebody casts somebody who's not that good ... We've put rappers in movies for the last 30 years ... and the reason we do it is because people are famous and famous people bring in tickets."

Travis Scott isn't letting the Cannes brawl ruin his quality time with his children Stormi and Aire ... as they enjoyed some fun in the sun while in the South of France.

The rapper -- dressed in a long-sleeved shirt, shorts and blue swim shoes -- hit the water Tuesday with the kids he has with his ex, Kylie Jenner ... basking in the sun while on a yacht off the coast of Saint-Tropez.

Stormi stayed on the boat with her younger bro while dad rode a jet ski around the crystal clear French Riviera water. If the photos are any indication, Travis was having the time of his life.

Kim Kardashian is welcoming one important family member back into the spotlight -- pointing the fact that her nephew, Mason Disick, is finally on Instagram ... and sending folks to his page.

The SKIMS founder took to her IG Stories Tuesday, shedding light on Mason's new Instagram page, which was officially launched over the weekend ... and which has already amassed hundreds of thousands of followers. Also ... you can clearly see the kid is all grown up (ish).

Alongside a screenshot of Mason's new account, Kim wrote ... "I still can't believe Mason is on IG. Everyone follow my nephew @masondisick." Pretty straightforward, and it seems people heeded her request.

Paris Hilton has responded to criticism over her latest parenting faux pas -- after putting her baby son's life jacket on the wrong way around -- and she's chalking it up to a whoopsie.

The socialite addressed the issue amid a flood of comments under a TikTok clip of her swimming in Hawaii with her 1-year-old son, Phoenix, over the weekend -- admitting she had a hunch his puddle jumper was on backward all along, despite being assured otherwise by the seller ... that's what she's saying anyway.

PH commented, "Oops! Thank you! I never let him out of my arms. thought it was backwards too, I said that to the person who I bought it from & they said it was on right."

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis took their tykes out for their first major event -- a debut of sorts -- and turns out the little ones are carbon copies of their parents!

Check out the rare public snaps of 9-year-old Wyatt and 7-year-old Dimitri ... who joined their A-list parents courtside over the weekend for the L.A. Sparks WNBA game against the Indiana Fever and their superstar rookie Caitlin Clark.

It's clear who the fam was rooting for ... Ashton rocked a University of Iowa hat -- a nod to the college he and Clark both attended -- while his look-alike son sported an Iowa Hawkeyes sweatshirt.

Kourtney Kardashian put herself through the wringer to get pregnant with her son, Rocky ... revealing to fans she underwent multiple rounds of IVF and egg retrievals before conceiving naturally.

The reality star and mom-of-four lifted the lid on her pregnancy journey while answering fan questions on her Instagram story ... empathizing with a woman who says she's had six failed IVF attempts and asked Kourt how she kept pushing through the struggle.

Kourtney gives her numbers in response ... saying she gave up after a year in which she did five IVF rounds and three egg retrievals -- believing the whole endeavor hopeless.

Paris Hilton's parenting is under the microscope again ... 'cause people are pointing out another parenting mistake online after seeing a clip of her swimming with her son.

The reality TV star and mother-of-two shared a clip to TikTok where she hops in the water with her 1-year-old, Phoenix.

It's a sweet little video ... capturing loving mom Paris bouncing her baby in what looks like a lazy river on a relaxing day -- and, it seems safe. She's holding Phoenix tightly -- and he's happy and smiling -- so all good right?

Chris Brown's little girl ain't so little anymore -- his daughter Royalty's celebrating her 10th birthday today, and it looks like she's a big Beyoncé fan!

Chris and Royalty were super close and in the pics her mom, Nia Guzman, posted from the bday celebration ... where everyone where everyone was rocking some western flair.

As mom announced on social media, "THIS WAS A TEXAS RODEO" ... an apparent shout-out to Bey's "Texas Hold 'Em" lyrics. The party featured line dancing, a ferris wheel and more western-themed decorations than you could shake a stick at!

Before this radical kid showing off her chin boo-boo turned into a star, she was a child actress -- starting at just 4 years old -- hitting the ice skating rink and growing up with her two older sisters.

If you recall Jacob Elordi's performance in 'The Kissing Booth' then you definitely know this celeb! She also played Gypsy Rose Blanchard in "The Act." She may not be in the public eye too frequently, but she's got a whopping 19 million Instagram followers to support her thriving career!

You'll be the lucky one if you can guess this celeb!

Some say The Kardashians are Hollywood's version of a Royal Family ... and now Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's firstborn is ready to take the crown!

North West made her Hollywood Bowl singing debut Friday evening ... performing "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" at the Bowl's "The Lion King" live concert event.

TMZ obtained a pic of Mama Bear Kim watching from the crowd with Chicago sitting in her lap.
