Diddy's twin daughters might be running back and forth between L.A. and NYC to support their dad, but they're still high school students ... and, they celebrated a big milestone last week.

D'Lila and Jessie Combs shared a pic of themselves to their joint Instagram account Sunday ... standing in their cheerleading uniforms with sashes reading "Senior" hung across their bodies.

The two girls are holding multicolored pompoms and making duck lips at the camera ... a sweet photo of two sisters celebrating another big milestone.

The guy who's hawking a Kim Porter book allegedly based on her diary is taking shots at her in his legal battle with Diddy and Kim's sons ... and telling the boys to screw off.

Courtney Burgess and his attorney Ariel Mitchell fired off a nasty response to Christian and Quincy Combs after the brothers sent Burgess and Mitchell a cease-and-desist over the alleged Porter tell-all.

In the legal response, obtained by TMZ, Burgess and Mitchell take issue with Christian and Quincy claiming he is trying to capitalize on Kim's hard-earned fame by selling "Kim Porter Tell It All" ... they say Kim was not an actor or entertainer and her fame was solely tied to being Diddy's "long time paramour."

Diddy's family is supporting him in court as he tries to get out of jail, while he awaits trial in his criminal case ... with 6 of his children making the trip to a packed Manhattan federal courtroom today.

Sarah Chapman, who shares a daughter with Diddy, was the first one to walk in ... with their daughter Chance not far behind in a second group of family members.

Also accompanying Chance ... Diddy's 17-year-old twin daughters, Jesse and D'Lila, who he had with the late Kim Porter. Quincy Brown, Kim's son who Diddy adopted, also walked in with Diddy's daughters.

Cuba Gooding Jr. understands what Jussie Smollett went through in his ongoing ordeal with the justice system after the Illinois State Supreme Court's ruling today ... pointing out how celebrities endure sensationalized treatment in the public eye.

Gooding adds he knows how tough it is to go into a courthouse as a celebrity ... pointing to the intense public reaction to every twist and turn of a trial before a final outcome is delivered, and in its aftermath.

Before this blonde boy flexin' for the camera turned into a household name, he was just kickin' it with his older bro in Cleveland, Ohio and started filming and creating content at just 10 years old ...

He first posted videos on the social media platform, Vine, and soon after launched his YouTube channel -- known for pranks and hip hop music.

In 2018, he started his boxing career and went up against fellow YouTuber, Deji Olatunji.

He continued to fight his way to the top ... Just ask his good pal Mike Tyson!

Diddy's sons are waging their own legal battle now, warning the man who's hawking a Kim Porter book -- allegedly based on her diary -- to shut it down or face a lawsuit.

Christian and Quincy Combs, fired off a cease and desist letter to a guy named Courtney Burgess and his attorney Ariel Mitchell over "Kim Porter Tell It All ('Tell It All')" ... a book currently sold online under the pseudonym Jamal Millwood.

In the letter, obtained by TMZ, the Combs bros say they became the rightful heirs and owners of Kim's intellectual property rights following her death in November 2018 ... and therefore her purported diary entries belong to them.

Before this cutie pie talkin' on the telly turned into a pop star, she was just enjoying the beautiful outdoors of Canada ... and acting in school plays like "Annie" and "Grease".

She's collaborated with music stars like Owl City, Charli XCX and Justin Bieber.

Just because Bronny James is bouncing between the NBA and G League doesn't mean his hoops career is cooked ... so says Metta World Peace, who tells TMZ Sports the Lakers rookie is getting a great opportunity to develop.

James -- the 55th overall pick -- was assigned to the South Bay Lakers on Nov. 7 ... after the guard averaged 0.7 points, and 2.7 minutes of playing time in six games with the big dogs.

It's not your average move, though ... as Bronny will only play home games for South Bay and continue to travel with his pops and the rest of his Lakers teammates for NBA games as well.

Dwyane Wade's son, Zaire, is calling on everyone to keep the jokes and memes coming about the Miami Heat legend's new statue ... telling TMZ Sports all the silly comments only make it that much more of a must-see attraction!!

We caught up with the future Hall of Famer's oldest out at LAX this week ... and asked him what the fam REALLY thinks of the team's permanent tribute to Dwyane outside the Kaseya Center -- especially after all the reactions it got on social media.

It turns out D-Wade wasn't lying when he said he loved it ... 'cause Zaire doubled down and said that's how they all feel about the honor.

Kim Kardashian’s getting real about raising her brood post-divorce from Kanye -- hinting that he's basically MIA in her life, and it’s her holding it down solo with the kiddos.

On the "What In The Winkler?!" podcast, Kim told host Zoe Winkler that even though she has a solid support system, she’s "basically raising four kids by myself" -- which she admitted is overwhelming, especially since she struggles silently, worried about being judged.

Kim shared that even the little things can feel like a lot -- like when all the kids pile into her bed, kicking her, crying, and waking up in the middle of the night.

Before this fashionable kid in his button down was crackin' jokes as an Internet personality, he was just growing up with his two sisters in Texas and heading off to The University of Southern California.

He got his start in the entertainment biz producing music videos and writing/filming commercials -- until he landed at BuzzFeed. One of his popular videos is "If Disney Princes Were Real" which has over 70 million views.

In 2019, he played Theo Lorql on an episode of "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" with Terry Crews and Andy Samberg.
