Family

Damon Wayans Jr. isn't ashamed to say he hasn't watched everything in the famous family's extensive catalog ... he's a fan of comedies, but couldn't get past the trailer for some of the action films!!!

"The Breakfast Club" quizzed DWJ on Wednesday about studying Wayans films growing up, and he admitted totally skipping Uncle Keenan Ivory's 1996 "thriller" "The Glimmer Man" ... y'know, the one he costarred in with Steven Seagal.

If nothing comes to mind, you're not alone ... "The Breakfast Club" hosts met his mentioning of the film with complete radio silence!!!

Patrick Mahomes Sr. is back behind bars, but he has not been accused of further wrongdoing -- TMZ Sports has learned he's simply begun serving his sentence for his most recent DWI conviction.

A Smith County jail official tells us ... the father of NFL superstar Patrick Mahomes was booked on Tuesday afternoon at around 4:53 PM and took a new mug shot. He's now not expected to be released until Halloween.

Of course, the 10-day stint in the slammer was all planned ... as it was a condition of the plea agreement Mahomes Sr. reached with prosecutors stemming from his Feb. 3 arrest for drunk driving in Tyler, Texas.

Kim Kardashian didn't need to ride a tornado to Oz ... she brought the magical land to her house -- hosting an advance screening of the movie "Wicked," featuring its major stars.

The reality TV star/mogul hosted a pajama party at her home for an early viewing of the film -- BTW, it's due for release in about a month.

Kardashian shared tons of images from the magical evening ... beginning with a look at the pink and green decorations, and posters of Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo as Glinda and Elphaba, respectively.

Liam Payne's father is offering to help police in Argentina get to the bottom of his son's death.

Geoff Payne has been in Buenos Aires since Friday, flying in from the United Kingdom two days after his son's death, and visiting the memorial to the late One Direction singer.

Argentina's National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor's Office No. 14 announced Tuesday that Liam's father met with officials and was briefed on the investigation ... and they say Geoff told them he would be willing to tell them everything he knows about his son's life in order to help the investigation.

LeBron and Bronny James are expected to make history as the first father-son duo to play in the NBA together on Tuesday ... that is, if Bronny can even make it to the game on time -- 'cause the King completely filled the rookie's car in cereal!!

The Lakers teammates starred in a new Nike commercial that dropped just hours before their home opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves ... in which the G.O.A.T. takes part in a little rookie hazing at his own son's expense.

In the clip, LeBron is shown filling up his son's whip with boxes of Fruity Pebbles before scurrying out of sight once Bronny walks out of the house and toward the driveway.

Lou Williams can't wait to see LeBron and Bronny James taking the court together ... but only if the special moment isn't forced -- telling TMZ Sports he hopes the Lakers rookie earns his playing time.

The NBA season kicks off on Tuesday ... with Los Angeles -- led by new head coach J.J. Redick -- going up against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Bronny is by far the most notable newbie for the Purple and Gold ... and like most NBA fans, Lou Will -- who we spoke with earlier this month -- is anxious to witness history when the 20-year-old guard plays with his pops.

Kim Kardashian was grinding on her birthday, but she didn’t forget to turn up the glam factor with a super sexy outfit for the work occasion.

The reality queen turned heads on her big 4-4 Monday, rocking her eye-popping curves in a tiny silver bikini on the set of a top-secret filming project in Malibu -- making sure to steal the spotlight from her family, who were also there as the cameras rolled.

Kim looked absolutely stunning, raising temperatures in a sarong cover-up that wasn’t doing much to obscure that iconic bum.

Cardi B is firing back at the prank caller who reported her kids to CPS, making it crystal clear the only one in danger is the caller -- 'cause when she finds out who it was, she’s ready to "beat the s***" out of them.

The rapper went live on IG from a hospital bed Monday, where she’d been laid up for a few days -- and despite being under the weather, she didn't hold back, venting, "Motherf***ers have taken s*** too f***ing far when you mess with my f***ing kids."

Cardi continued, sharing her frustration over CPS showing up at her gated mansion at 11 PM while her 3 kids -- whom she shares with her estranged hubby Offset -- were sleeping ... adding the anonymous caller had reported the kids were being abused and beaten.

NBA fans, get ready to witness history on Tuesday ... LeBron and Bronny James are expected to play together on the Crypto.com Arena court during the Lakers season opener -- the first time it's ever happened during the regular season for a father-son duo!

Shams Charania revealed the plan hours before the Lakers tip off against the Minnesota Timberwolves in downtown Los Angeles, the first game of the 2024 season.

The father-and-son combo will "very likely" be on the court together early in the game -- but there's an "IF" -- assuming having both James' out on the floor makes sense.

Diddy's kids are speaking out in the wake of their father's incarceration and growing legal controversy ... posting their support of the music mogul in a joint statement.

In a message shared to Instagram, Diddy's children -- D'Lila, Jessie, Justin, Christian, Chance, and Quincy -- reflected on the last month's events ... and how it "has devastated our family."

The rapper's children wrote ... "Many have judged both him and us based on accusations, conspiracy theories, and false narratives that have spiraled into absurdity on social media. We stand united, supporting you every step of the way. We hold onto the truth, knowing it will prevail, and nothing will break the strength of our family."

Liam Payne's sister Nicola is hoping the singer has "finally found peace" after he fell to his death in Argentina last week.

The One Direction alum's older sister posted on Instagram in the aftermath of Liam's death ... paying tribute to the late pop star and revealing her initial reaction to the tragic news.

As Nicola put it ... she learned of Liam's passing through a news notification on her phone, which left her hoping the update was "untrue."

She added ... "I have spent days hoping that it was a mistake and somebody got it wrong. You were truly too good for this earth, you are an angel who just lived for making people smile and happy. You have always shown kindness to everyone you met and it shows with just how many people have confirmed what we always knew!"

As Nicola continued, she declared herself and the rest of the Payne family Liam's "biggest fans always and forever" ... praising her little brother for his "brilliant" talent and dedication.

Before signing off her note, Nicola promised to keep Liam's legacy alive, especially for the singer's son, Bear ... who he welcomed with Cheryl Cole in 2017.

She noted ... "We will make sure Bear knows about his daddy and how much you loved him, we promise this."

Nicola's tribute comes shortly after Liam's other big sister, Ruth Gibbins, posted to social media, in which she apologized for not being able to "save" the singer.

Countless others have honored Liam in the wake of his passing, too ... including Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Simon Cowell, Ed Sheeran and Rita Ora.

As TMZ previously reported, Liam fell to his death from a third-floor balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires last Wednesday. The singer had been in Argentina to support his former 1D bandmate Niall's concert at the Movistar Arena earlier in the month ... ultimately choosing to extend his visit.

Police have said Liam jumped from his hotel balcony ... and that a possibly hallucinogenic drug, called "cristal," may be to blame. However, police are waiting for final test results for substances found in Liam's hotel room before confirming. The investigation is ongoing.

Justin Bieber getting back onstage ... performing alongside pal Don Toliver -- all while his wife Hailey supported him from the crowd.

Videos posted to IG by Hailey also capture her reaction to her man gettin' back onstage ... dancing to Toliver's tracks while seated pretty far from the stage in what appears to be some sort of VIP area.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are trying to keep their divorce civil ... attending the same event with their fam -- including Ben's ex Jennifer Garner!

The trio stepped out Friday night in Brentwood ... hitting an event in the West Los Angeles area -- and, though we don't know if they actually had a convo -- we do know Ben and J Lo arrived just minutes apart.

We're told Garner arrived first at around 7 PM ... with J Lo following her five minutes later and Ben pulling up shortly after that.

Liam Payne's sister has broken her silence after the tragic death of the One Direction star ... and her message is absolutely devastating.

Ruth Gibbins posted a lengthy statement to her Instagram page along with several sweet photos of the siblings -- all to express how much she loved her brother and her unbearable pain, which included, "I'm sorry I couldn't save you."

She began with, "I don't believe this is happening. Many times have I poured my heart out publicly with pride about Liam but never much about life as his sister ... Liam is my best friend."

Cue the Halloween puns, 'cuz the stars are having a skele-ton of fun and letting the ghoul times roll this Spooktober! And, you know what they say, "If you've got it, flaunt haunt it!"

The family of three was spotted heading into Hard Rock Stadium ... and Travis' mother, Donna, was spotted inside the venue -- her very first "Eras" experience -- so there are at least 4 Kelces there.
