Before this cool boy in his suit turned into a rapper and actor, he was just chillin' on his dad's lap in Champaign, Illinois before moving to Atlanta, Georgia and studying music management at Georgia State University.

He's been a staple in the rap and hip hop industry for years, but he's also hit the big screen -- most notably as Tej Parker. He's too fast for y'all, so you better "get out the way." He's in his late-40s, but that doesn't stop him from sharing a shredded shot on the 'gram.

Artem Chigvintsev has walked away with his best-case scenario following a 2-hour hearing in his Nikki Garcia (AKA Bella) divorce case ... TMZ has learned.

According to docs obtained by TMZ ... the professional dancer and the retired WWE star had a hearing in the Napa County, California court Tuesday, where a judge ordered the exes to share custody of their son, 4-year-old Matteo.

This was certainly the outcome the "Dancing with the Stars" alum was hoping for ... as he previously requested joint custody when he filed his divorce response in September.

Patrick Mahomes is revealing the unexpected perks to his teammate Travis Kelce dating Taylor Swift ... the pop star has been spending quality time with his daughter, Sterling.

The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback made an appearance on "The Drive" podcast Tuesday, where he confessed his 3-year-old has been whipping up baked goods with Taylor in the kitchen.

First up on "TMZ Live," Charles and Babcock explain why Bow Wow is complaining about the lack of Diddy parties in Hollywood.

Heidi Klum and her daughter Leni are turning up the heat again ... stripping down to some seriously jaw-dropping lingerie for a sizzling new fashion campaign.

The dynamic duo took to IG Monday to flaunt their stunning shots promoting Intimissimi’s Fall-Winter collection, with a fun video capturing them laughing and having a blast together while showcasing their curves in the brand's sexy lace pieces.

Olivia, who welcomed her baby girl via surrogacy last month, looks happier than ever ... cradling little Méi in a number of heartwarming photos. Though, as most new parents can relate, Olivia and John look a little sleep-deprived in a few shots ... which makes sense since Méi appears to need frequent belly rubs during bedtime.

Before this sweet lil' girl with red hair blossomed into an American actress and social media star, she was just reppin' her favorite movie in her "101 Dalmatians" tee ... she was enjoying dance practice at just 3 years old and attending theater class by age 5.

After graduating from the only arts school in Washington, she moved to Los Angeles and scored a Coca-Cola commercial in 2014. A couple years later she landed a starring role on a popular Netflix show alongside Lili Reinhart and Cole Sprouse.

Check out the video posted Sunday by Live Bitez to Instagram ... King is hanging out with his GF Raven Tracy in a dance club, holding a shot glass filled with liquor over her head.

He says something that's inaudible and makes circles with the glass around Raven's head before giving her a sip.

Being a nepo baby ain't all that, according to Aoki Lee Simmons, who's actually bowing out of modeling, specifically, because she says everyone in the industry wants her to be her mother, Kimora Lee Simmons.

The 22-year-old explained her disappointment in a video where she revealed she's constantly told she's not pretty enough to make it in modeling -- and, if that wasn't deflating enough, she's constantly measured against Kimora.

Aoki says, "My mom is always going to be a way better model than me, it's just annoying to have that comparison sometimes."

Brantley Gilbert's son seems born to be a rockstar ... 'cause his mom gave birth to him in his dad's tour bus mid-show -- before Gilbert ran back onstage and finished the show.

The country singer-songwriter posted a video to his Instagram from his show in Tupelo, Mississippi Friday night ... revealing he went out to perform his show before leaving the stage due to an some sort of emergency.
