Family

Anna Nicole Smith's daughter Dannielynn Birkhead's all grown up ... rocking an outfit previously worn by Janet Jackson and attending Kentucky Derby events with her dad, Larry.

The 17-year-old appeared in Larry's recent Instagram post ... smiling in a couple cute father-daughter pics on the way to the Barnstable-Brown Gala -- a star-studded lead-up to Saturday's big race.

Check out the pic ... Dannielynn's in a full black get-up here, covered in zippers Larry said he bought from Julien's -- a popular auction house.

Edgar Lansbury, a Tony-winning producer and brother of late TV & Film star Angela Lansbury has died ... according to a post from one of his former stars.

Peggy Gordon -- who appeared in the original off-Broadway cast for the show "Godspell" -- shared the news on Facebook earlier this week. She didn't provide a cause of death but said his memorial would take place in the fall.

Edgar, born in London in 1930, first rose to prominence on the Broadway scene in the early 1960s ... when his show "The Subject Was Roses" starring Martin Sheen won him the Tony Award for Best Play.

The Bella Twins haven’t entered the squared-circle in years, but they aren't ready to hang up their boots ... telling TMZ Sports they aren't ruling out an in-ring return in the future -- they're just waiting for the right moment.

We chopped it up with the former WWE duo on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs on FS1) this week ... and asked them about the possibility of stepping back into the ring after some time away.

The sisters admitted they miss being in on the action ... but there has been some more important business to attend to lately -- motherhood.

Jeezy is firing back at his estranged wife, Jeannie Mai, whom he claims is out to smear him just because he didn't wanna have a second kid with her ... alleging she's out for revenge.

The rapper filed new legal docs in his divorce case with Jeannie, and he's offering up a firm defense to Jeannie's bombshell claims from last week -- in which she alleged Jeezy was reckless and abusive ... and that he'd gotten physical on at least one occasion.

Here in this new paperwork, obtained by TMZ, Jeezy once again denies any such notion -- just like he did when she first leveled the claims -- and asks a rhetorical question ... if I was so dangerous and abusive, why were you trying to have another baby with me???

Brooke Shields' daughters may be college-aged adults, but they're still mommy's girls at heart -- something their mother confessed to ... very proudly, we might add.

The actress swung by SiriusXM's "The Jess Cagle Show" Thursday, where she spilled on her incredibly close bond with daughters Rowan and Grier -- who are 20 and 18, respectively -- confirming they all still share a bed sometimes.

She explains ... "You know, the minute my husband is on any type of work trip or gone or something, you know, they still sleep in the bed with me. We still watch rom-coms. They're my babies and they will never not be."

John Leguizamo might not remember Patrick Swayze fondly all these years later -- but he might be pleased to know the feeling was mutual ... so says PS' brother.

We spoke to the late actor's sibling, Sean, who tells TMZ ... he actually recalls having a conversation with Pat on the heels of them wrapping production for their 1995 film 'To Wong Foo' -- in which Patrick and John both starred as drag queens.

According to Sean ... Patrick relayed to him that he found JL to be a difficult person, that he had an attitude and they butted heads a lot on set ... so that part of John's story's confirmed.

Ryan Gosling is staying away from heavy material when it comes to acting these days -- and the reason is simple ... he's got a family now, and doesn't wanna be a drag around them.

The actor talked to The Wall Street Journal about this -- explaining that he's simply not taking certain roles that he feels are too dark or psychologically screwy ... because accepting that kind of work will ultimately have an impact at home, with Eva Mendes and their kids.

RG says he considers what sorts of parts/movies will be good for the whole fam -- and he'll dive into stuff that he thinks will help him bond with his partner and their two daughters.

Jamie Lynn Spears no está preocupada por los desagradables comentarios de su hermana contra ella. Personas cercanas a Jamie revelan que ella ha desarrollado una manera positiva de ver las molestas cosas que dice Britney.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que Jamie Lynn solo está preocupada por el bienestar de Britney, por lo que en realidad no le importan los insultos que dispare en las redes sociales, porque cada comentario es una señal de que Brit sigue viva.

Esta revelación sobre la perspectiva de Jamie Lynn viene después de que Britney la llamara repetidamente "pequeña zorra" y "pequeña p***" en un incoherente video que publicó en sus redes y que luego borró de Instagram.

Jamie Lynn Spears isn't sweating her sister's nasty comments about her ... with people close to her revealing she's developed a positive way to look at Britney's trash talk.

This revelation about Jamie Lynn's outlook comes on the heels of Britney repeatedly calling her a "little bitch" and a "little s***" in a rambling, barely coherent video she posted, then deleted from Instagram.

Coi Leray is publicly distancing herself from her dad Benzino for the umpteenth time -- her latest mutiny coming after a rally to free R. Kelly from prison.

Benzino recently pledged his allegiance to Kelly while he was on the "We In Miami" podcast, calling for the incarcerated singer to get a 2nd chance ... because, in his words, one of Kelly's victims was only a couple of years below the legal limit, and he had consent from the young woman's parents.

The ex-Pied Piper of R&B recently had his 20-year sex crime conviction and sentence upheld in court ... so Benzino's not getting his wish, but his controversial commentary had Coi feeling guilty by association.

Aquí está el momento lacrimógeno de la semana, Alfred Molina está hablando de su padre y de como no aprobaba que fuera actor.

El veterano actor le concedió una entrevista a Vanity Fair y contó esta historia desgarradora sobre cómo su padre rechazó por completo su sueño de actuar y entrar al mundo del espectáculo, algo que creó una división de años entre ellos.

As if things couldn't get any worse for Michael Porter Jr.'s family -- the Denver Nuggets star's brother, Jevon, was arrested on suspicion of DWI late Friday night ... just days after his sibling, Coban, was sentenced to six years in prison in his fatal DUI case.

TMZ Sports has confirmed .... Jevon -- who recently transferred to LMU after previously playing at Pepperdine -- was initially pulled over around 1:30 AM in Missouri for speeding prior to getting busted for DWI.

Officials are still investigating the incident ... so further information has not been made available at this time.

LMU acknowledged Jevon's situation in a statement ... saying the school is working on getting more details.

Coban learned his fate on April 19 ... after officials said he had a BAC of 0.19 (nearly 2.5x over the legal limit) after running a red light and hitting another car, killing a woman and injuring a passenger in Colorado back in January 2023.

It's been non-stop drama for Porter Jr.'s family recently -- not only did Coban get sentenced to more than half a decade behind bars for his drunk-driving accident, but Jontay was banned from the NBA just weeks ago after an investigation determined he was involved in a major betting scandal.

Don't expect Tiger Woods' daughter to be twirling a club on a fairway anytime soon ... the golfing legend just revealed his 16-year-old offspring isn't the world's biggest fan of the sport -- because it "took Daddy away from her."

The Big Cat shared with Carson Daly on Wednesday's "Today" show that he believes Sam Woods straight up has "a negative connotation to the game" ... due to all of the traveling it required him to do when she was a little tyke.

"I had to pack and I had to leave," he said. "I had to be gone for weeks. And there's a negative connotation to it."
