Family

Gabourey Sidibe and her husband Brandon Frankel are in for a double take in their life ... 'cause she's pregnant with twins!

Yes, that's right ... the 40-year-old "Precious" star broke the happy news on IG ... sharing snaps of herself in a pink dress while Brandon cradled her baby bump at a Babylist baby registry event.

You could tell the parents-to-be are overjoyed -- which you can see in the photos they posted to ring in the momentous occasion. As you can see, they posted different shots of themselves -- which appear tied to plugging this Babylist company, FWIW -- which showed they'd already picked out a double stroller, carrier, and clothes for their new additions.

If the pics didn't give away Gabby's excitement, her caption certainly did ... she wrote: "I'm pregnant! We thought it was time to give our cats some responsibility so we're giving them each a baby to take care of! Double the babies, double the cats, double the fun!!"

She added ... Twin Delivery coming soon!" Gabby went hard on her twin puns, signing off, "Twinty Twinty Four!!" So yeah, she's leaning into the twin stuff -- as she should, we suppose.

For a refresher ... Gabourey married Brandon in March 2021 ... but she only made the news public the following year on "Live With Kelly And Mark."

She told the hosts they got engaged in November 2020 after meeting on a dating app ... but hated weddings to the point they'd already tied the knot over a year ago -- a confession that completely caught everyone off guard.

Looks like they've been living the happily married life ever since ... and now, Gabby's getting ready to welcome her first kids. She's come a long way since playing Precious in the movie -- now, GS is all grown up and all set to become a mom. Boy, time flies!

Brandon has poured his heart out about his new wife ... writing on IG there was no one else he'd rather be raising kids with. His dream is coming true -- Brandon and Gabby are expanding their family.

New footage of Taylor Swift's dad coming face to face with paparazzi in Australia has surfaced -- and while it shows more of the incident ... it's still hard to tell what happened.

In the video ... Scott clutches his superstar daughter's hand as she walks along while covering her torso with an umbrella. Chaos quickly ensues ... with Taylor's security detail attempting to create a clear path to an awaiting vehicle for the father and daughter ... who had just left a yacht after arriving from Homebush.

Taylor is seen blindly crawling into the back of the vehicle as paparazzi attempt to get a perfect shot. That's when you can see Scott go around toward the back of the vehicle -- where other paps are -- and some kind of scuffle appears to unfold behind the door.

Again, it's impossible to tell from this shot what went down -- but you do see some activity back there ... and Scott is in the vicinity, as are other security guards.

As we reported ... Scott has been accused of getting physical with one photographer in particular -- identified as Ben McDonald -- in an alleged altercation that the pap has characterized as assault. He went to cops there, and they're investigating this.

A rep for Taylor told us that more than one individual was "aggressively pushing their way towards Taylor" ... and claimed people were grabbing her security team, and threatening to throw a female into the water.

Taylor's camp didn't specifically address the allegation against Scott by the photog.

The cops in Australia note the alleged victim did not require medical treatment after the encounter with Scott. So ... perhaps the whole drama will be shaken off before it turns into something more serious. McDonald doesn't seem inclined to let this go, though.

Time will tell if anything more serious comes about.

Nuevas imágenes del padre de Taylor Swift cara a cara con los paparazzi en Australia han salido a la superficie, y a pesar de que muestran otro ángulo, todavía es difícil decir lo que pasó.

En el video, Scott va agarrando la mano de su hija, quien se está cubriendo el torso con un paraguas. El caos se produce rápidamente cuando la seguridad de Taylor intenta despejarle el camino hacia un vehículo que la espera a ella y a su padre. Acababan de salir de un yate después de llegar de Homebush.

Se ve a Taylor avanzando hacia la parte trasera del vehículo mientras los paparazzi intentan conseguir una toma perfecta. Es entonces cuando se puede ver a Scott dar la vuelta hacia la parte trasera del vehículo -donde están los otros paparazzi- y algún tipo de refriega parece desarrollarse detrás de la puerta.

Una vez más, es imposible decir que pasó, pero algo se puede deducir, y Scott está involucrado al igual que otros guardias de seguridad.

Como informamos, Scott ha sido acusado de ser agresivo con un fotógrafo identificado como Ben McDonald, en un supuesto altercado que el paparazzi ha caracterizado como asalto. La policía está investigando el caso.

Un representante de Taylor nos dijo que más de un individuo estaba "abriéndose agresivamente camino hacia Taylor" y afirmó que la gente estaba amedrentando a su equipo de seguridad y amenazando con lastimar a la estrella.

El equipo de Taylor no se refirió específicamente a la acusación contra Scott por el fotógrafo.

Los policías en Australia señalan que la presunta víctima no requirió tratamiento médico después del encuentro con Scott. Así que tal vez todo el drama será sacudido antes de que se convierta en algo más serio. McDonald no parece inclinado a dejar que esto pase desapercibido.

El tiempo dirá si se trata de algo más serio.

Russell Wilson dice que sabía desde el primer día que ayudar a criar al hijo de Ciara con Future sería su nueva responsabilidad en la vida y se comparó con el padre de Jesús.

El QB de los Broncos, cuyo futuro en Denver parece incierto en este momento, apareció esta semana en el podcast "I Am Athlete" donde habló de su matrimonio con Ciara y de su rol de padrastro con su hijo, Future Jr., que comparte con el rapero.

Escuchen esto porque es bastante revelador: Russ literalmente dice que sintió que Dios le hablaba para hacerle saber no solo que Ciara era la persona para él, sino que criar a su hijo también era algo a lo que estaba destinado a hacer.

Russell Wilson dice que lo supo desde el momento en que conoció a Ciara, que al parecer incluyó un encuentro con el entonces bebé Future Jr., así que estamos hablando de años.

Russ también dice que estaba teniendo una conversación con el hombre de arriba y sintió que Dios le hablaba y le decía que este sería su camino, es decir, convertirse en un hombre de familia. Y sí, él invoca el nombre de José, así como el de Jesús.

Si crees que estás aturdido por las palabras de Russell, espera a ver a Brandon Marshall, con quien Russ estaba teniendo esta conversación. Se puede decir que estaba bien sorprendido por lo que estaba escuchando.

Recuerden, Future Jr. es el hijo de Future, quien comparte la custodia de su hijo con Ciara. Aunque parece que lo vemos más con su madre, al menos públicamente.

Teniendo en cuenta la bronca histórica entre Future y Russ, algo nos dice que Future no se va a tomar esto muy bien. En cuanto a Ciara, aún no se ha referido a las palabras de Russ.

Russell Wilson says he knew from day 1 that helping to raise Ciara's son with Future would become his new blessing and responsibility in life -- comparing himself to Jesus' dad.

The Broncos QB -- whose future there in Denver seems uncertain at this point -- appeared this week on the "I Am Athlete" podcast ... where he talked about his marriage with Ciara and the fact that he plays stepdad to her kid, Future Jr., who she shares with the rapper.

Take a listen, 'cause this is pretty eye-opening ... Russ literally says he felt God was talking to him to let him know that not only was Ciara the one for him -- but that raising her boy was also something he was destined to do as well.

RW says he knew this from the moment he met Ciara -- which apparently also included a meet-and-greet with a then-baby Future Jr. ... so we're talking years ago.

Russ also says he was having a conversation with the man upstairs about this -- and he explains that he felt God speaking to him and telling him this would become his path -- namely, becoming a family man. And yes, he does invoke Joseph's name, as well as JC.

If you think you're stunned by Russell's words, wait 'til you see Brandon Marshall -- who Russ is speaking with in this conversation. You can tell ... he's shocked by what he's hearing.

Remember, Future Jr. is Future's son ... and he shares custody of his kid with Ciara -- although, we seem to see him more with his mom, at least publicly and online anyway.

Considering the historical bad blood between Future and Russ -- something tells us Future ain't gonna take this very well. As for Ciara, she hasn't addressed Russ' words yet.

Scary moment at home for Jenelle Evans ... cops say was the victim of an attempted break-in at her place in North Carolina this past weekend, and she tells us her family is rattled.

Jenelle, through her manager August Keen, tells TMZ … "With everything going on already this couldn't have happened at a worse time. Me and my children are safe, but a bit shaken up, the local community and police department are doing everything to ensure the capture of this person"

She adds, "I'll soon be exposing the details of what exactly happened that night. For now, we ask for prayers and privacy until me and my family recover from this terrifying experience. Thank you to everyone who is helping us to catch this perpetrator."

The attempted break-in comes only days after Jenelle regained custody of her 14-year-old son, Jace -- who's been at the center of a lot of drama in her family life lately.

At this point, police in North Carolina have confirmed to TMZ there was an attempted breaking and entering at Jenelle's place.

The Columbus County Sheriff’s Office tells us … on Sunday, a deputy responded to Jenelle's home for a call about a breaking and entering, but when they got there the suspect had fled the property.

Cops say an unidentified man attempted to force his way into Jenelle's home from the back of the residence, and when he was unable to get inside he went into her garage and began throwing her personal items into the yard.

The Sheriff's Office says when the deputy arrived, no items appeared to be missing ... though the lock on the back door where the man tried to enter the home was damaged.

North West is living the good life ... jetting back home in a private jet after performing her chart-topping collab with Kanye West in Paris.

Kanye and Kim Kardashian's oldest daughter touched down Monday in Los Angeles aboard a PJ, hustling back home after doing her thing Sunday at a "Vultures" listening event halfway across the world.

North's traveling party included her nanny and at least one bodyguard ... and it looks like she did some shopping in Paris, because they walked off the plane with bags from Chanel and Celine, two French luxury fashion houses.

The private flight home caps off a big week for North and her pops ... all 16 tracks from Kanye and Ty Dolla Sign's "Vultures 1" album cracked the Billboard Hot 100, including North's feature on the song "Talking."

North's little brother is doing big things too -- the same day North was performing in Paris, Saint West escorted soccer star Lionel Messi to the field at the Inter Miami vs. L.A. Galaxy match.

Tristan Thompson is officially taking over as caregiver for his younger brother... because a court signed off on him becoming Amari Thompson's guardian.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the ruling came in Monday, about 5 months after Tristan first filed a petition to become his little bro's guardian.

Remember ... Tristan and Amari lost their mother, Andrea, about a year ago when she died suddenly in Toronto. Tristan's been looking after Amari ever since ... and now he's officially been appointed his brother's legal guardian.

As we reported ... in his original petition, Tristan claimed their father, Trevor, has been absent from Amari's life ... leaving Tristan as the closest family member available to step up and provide the care Amari needs.

Tristan's got a lot of responsibility here ... Amari is unable to care for himself because he's been diagnosed with epilepsy.

Amari's also getting $103,475 in inheritance from his mother's estate ... and Tristan said in his earlier petition that he would protect the money from loss and provide for Amari's care.

Tragedy has hit Beyoncé's family ... the megastar's uncle has passed away.

Bey's mom, Tina Knowles, delivered the news on Instagram just hours ago, revealing her brother, Rowland Martin Buyince, who went by Butch, died over the weekend. No word yet on how what happened.

Tina uploaded a black and white photo of Butch in a United States Air Force uniform with a caption honoring his memory.

She called Butch her "Beautiful big brother" who was now with God in heaven, while expressing she'll miss him "so much."

She described Butch as a handsome "career Airforce man” who had a passion for riding motorcycles and was a black belt in karate.

Tina noted Butch's "beautiful green eyes," while emphasizing that he was a "great story teller" and was beloved by his incredible wife Jeanette, daughter Dana, and two grandchildren Yvette and Roland.

So far, Bey has not commented on Butch's passing ... but we expect something from her to down the pike.

As you know, Bey's been making headlines lately with her recent pivot to country music, releasing the hit country song, "Texas Hold 'Em."

Butch was 77.

Chris Gauthier -- known for shows like "Once Upon A Time" and "Smallville" -- has died ... his agency confirmed in a statement.

The actor reportedly passed away suddenly Friday after recently falling ill with TriStar Appearances/Event Horizon Talent lamenting his loss to TVLine.

Tristar's Chad Colvin wrote in a Facebook post that Gauthier was the very definition of a character actor ... not an actor with a name one might know, but one whose sheer presence in a show or movie could pique the interest of any audience.

Gauthier appeared in a number of popular projects over the years including "A Series of Unfortunate Events," "iZombie," "Psych," "Supernatural," "Smallville," "Watchmen," "Agent Cody Banks," "Little Man," "Freddy vs. Jason" -- and a whole lot more.

He was perhaps best known for his role in the TV show science-fiction show "Eureka" where he played gourmet chef Vincent in 67 episodes, and later as Mr. Smee -- Captain Hook's first mate in the ABC drama "Once Upon A Time."

In fact, his 'OUAT' costar Colin O'Donoghue, who played Captain Hook in the series, also posted a touching tribute to Chris ... saying he was the real captain all along.

Chris is survived by his wife Erin and their two children.

He was 48.

Rick Harrison's late son Adam won't be discussed on the new season of "Pawn Stars" ... TMZ has learned.

A Harrison family spokesperson tells us ... with Rick personally addressing Adam's tragic passing last month, there will be no further comment in future episodes. Also, Adam wasn't a cast member of the show.

We're told the Harrison family are keeping themselves busy amid the unfathomable tragedy ... and have started filming new episodes this month.

Adam -- one of Rick's three boys -- helped out at the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop back in the day, despite not being featured on the show.

TMZ broke the story ... Adam died from a fentanyl overdose last month, with Rick posting an emotional IG tribute saying, "You will always be in my heart! I love you Adam. 💔"

Rick attributed his son's death to fentanyl freely flowing across the border, emphasizing to us the urgent need to address this crisis in our country.

The Harrison family has since established an education fund for Adam's son ... after being inundated with pleas from people asking how they can show support.

La muerte del hijo de Rick Harrison, Adam, no será tratada en la nueva temporada de "Pawn Stars", según ha indagado TMZ.

Un portavoz de la familia Harrison nos dice que luego de que Rick abordara personalmente el trágico fallecimiento de Adam el mes pasado, no habrá más comentarios en futuros episodios. Además, él no era un miembro del elenco de la serie.

Nos dicen que la familia Harrison se mantiene ocupada en medio de la inconmensurable tragedia y ha comenzado a filmar nuevos episodios este mes.

Adam, uno de los tres hijos de Rick, ayudó en el World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop en su momento, a pesar de que no aparecía en el programa.

TMZ dio a conocer la noticia: Adam murió de una sobredosis de fentanilo el mes pasado. Rick publicó un emotivo homenaje en IG diciendo: "¡Siempre estarás en mi corazón! Te quiero Adam. 💔"

Rick atribuyó la muerte de su hijo al libre tránsito del fentanilo en la frontera y enfatizó en la urgente necesidad de abordar esta crisis en nuestro país.

La familia Harrison estableció desde entonces un fondo de educación para el hijo de Adam, después de ser inundado con súplicas de personas que querían demostrar su apoyo.

Flavor Flav fue corregido rápidamente por Miley Cyrus cuando accidentalmente la llamó Gwen Stefani y recibió una bofetada en la cara, pero todo en buena onda, dice.

El rapero de Public Enemy habló sobre el incidente en un reciente episodio de "Just B con Bethenny Frankel", donde reveló que se encontró con Miley hace varios años, cuando ella y Gwen aparentemente tenían cortes de pelo similares.

Flav dijo que estaba muy emocionado de conocer a Gwen y corrió hacia ella, pero en realidad terminó hablando accidentalmente con Miley en su lugar.

Él dice que Miley Cyrus actuó super cool y le siguió la corriente durante la conversación, mientras él alababa todo el trabajo de Gwen Stefani. Fue embarazoso para Flavor Flav cuando su amigo le dijo más tarde que en realidad era Miley.

Flavor Flav dice que fue directamente a disculparse con ella, añadiendo, por supuesto, que la conocía y también a su padre Billy Ray, y ahí fue cuando recibió la bofetada en la cara.

Él dice que el momento no creó ninguna animosidad, en cambio, él y Miley se rieron e incluso se reunieron en el backstage de los Premios Grammy de este año.

Pero, Miley no pudo resistirse a darle a Flav un poco de reproche por el error en su identidad.

Se hizo viral un video de su encuentro donde los dos aparecen abrazándose mientras Miley bromea que solía llamarla siempre Gwen, una señal de que esto aún está en su mente.

Flavor Flav got corrected quickly by Miley Cyrus when he accidentally called her Gwen Stefani ... getting a swift slap to the face -- but one all in good fun he says.

The Public Enemy rapper talked about the incident on a recent episode of "Just B with Bethenny Frankel" ... where he revealed he ran into her several years ago when she and Gwen apparently had similar haircuts.

Flav said he got super excited to meet Gwen and ran up to her ... only to find himself accidentally speaking to Miley instead.

He says MC played it super cool, just going along with it during the convo as he lauded her for all of GS' work ... an embarrassing moment for FF when his friend later told her it was actually Miley.

Flavor Flav says he went right up to Miley to apologize, adding of course he knew her and her dad Billy Ray ... which is when he got the smack right across his face.

He says the moment didn't create any animosity ... instead, he and Miley laughed off the moment, and the two even met up backstage of the Grammy Awards this year.

But, Miley couldn't resist giving Flav a little bit of guff over the past mistaken identity.

A video went viral from their meetup which showed the two hugging it out while Miley joked he always used to call him Gwen ... so, clearly this is still stuck in her mind.

Artificial intelligence, climate change and nuclear annihilation are just a few issues facing the human race ... and we've got no chance against them unless we work together -- at least according to J. Robert Oppenheimer's grandson.

Charles Oppenheimer ... founder of The Oppenheimer Project -- a nonprofit working toward creating a safer future as technology rapidly changes -- joined us on TMZ Live Friday to answer some of the biggest questions of our time.

When asked about the grim prospect of rogue AI, global warming and nukes ... Charles said it's easy to feel despair -- but he's choosing to stay hopeful instead, promoting cooperation between people on opposite sides of the issues.

The way Charles sees it ... we don't have to agree on everything, but we gotta come together on the big stuff to avoid massive extinction-level events.

CO says political tensions make everything worse ... so, he hopes people can put their politics aside to confront issues that affect everyone, regardless of political party or nationality.

Oppenheimer says the world totally shifted on its axis when the first atomic bomb went off in July 1945 which Charles said really heralded the beginning of global interdependence -- nations forced to rely on one another whether they wanted to or not.

Charles adds we can't go back to the days of the Cold War ... when a country tried to deter its enemies by building more bombs, essentially becoming the biggest, baddest dude on the block.

He said the only way out of that mindset is to work with those countries that otherwise might become enemies -- like China and Russia, two other global superpowers the U.S. doesn't exactly get along with.

The name Oppenheimer's on everyone's minds these days, mostly in regards to the Oscar-nominated flick -- but, there's another Oppenheimer focused on the world's problems too ... Charles, obviously.

12:25 PM PT -- TMZ obtained legal docs spelling out the reasoning behind denying Sabrina's TRO request -- and the court cited unconstitutional prior restraint ... which courts tend to frown on, generally speaking.

A woman claiming to be Wendy Williams' legal guardian is s*** out of luck as it pertains to this Lifetime documentary -- despite her 11th-hour efforts, we've learned it's still coming out.

A rep for the TV network tells TMZ ... "Lifetime appeared in court today (Friday), and the documentary 'Where is Wendy Williams?' will air this weekend as planned." The doc is slated to drop on Saturday, and based on what they're saying here ... it's moving forward.

TMZ also confirmed that there's been some major updates on this case in just the past 24 hours. According to new legal filings, obtained by TMZ, Sabrina Morrissey -- the one who filed suit -- has already filed an appeal ... this after requesting injunctive relief just yesterday.

What this seems to mean -- we don't know for sure since the case is under seal -- is that a decision was reached on granting her request to halt this ... and it appears to be one she didn't like, since she's already appealing and asking for another judge to take a look at her argument. That tracks with Lifetime moving forward ... sounds like the court sided with them.

We broke the story ... Morrisey ran to court Thursday on behalf of Wendy -- claiming to be her temporary guardian -- and said it was urgent she be granted a TRO to prevent the doc from releasing. She also wanted this all under seal, and like we said ... it is at the moment.

No word on whether Morrissey's appeal will be heard before tomorrow -- there's no new movement on the case that we can see ... so for the time being, it's full-steam ahead.

We've continued to try and reach out to Morrissey ... so far, no word back.
