Family

James Van Der Beek is keeping his loved ones close during his cancer battle ... stepping out in Austin with his family for a grocery store run.

Check it out ... the "Dawson's Creek" alum is seen swinging by a Whole Foods in Texas with several of his children in tow -- proving life goes on even amid health troubles.

In the photos, James holds his head high, wearing a camo-inspired ensemble ... including a baseball cap, cut-off tee, and shorts. The actor is the epitome of a doting dad in the pics, with JVDB holding hands with one of his little ones and helping another carry a big paper bag.

Britney Spears is 3 days away from closing the books on child support ... namely, the checkbook.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Britney will write her last child support check (yes, we know, it's actually going to be wired) November 15.

We're told she's been making bi-monthly payments to ex-hubby Kevin Federline on behalf of Jayden James, their youngest son who turned 18 2 months ago. She paid $10,000 at the beginning of November and will make her final $10,000 payment Friday.

Armie Hammer’s 38th birthday gift was ... a vasectomy -- and if that doesn’t raise eyebrows, get this -- his mom picked up the tab.

The actor's mom, Dru, joined him on his 'Armie HammerTime Podcast,' explaining that while she knows loads of women would love to have his baby, as a Catholic, she’d prefer he wait until marriage.

Realistically, though, she knows that the ship has sailed -- he's already got 2 kids with his ex-wife -- so she gifted him the ultimate "just in case" gesture to avoid any surprises.

Ashlee Simpson is reacting to all the buzz about her sister Jessica’s marriage being on the rocks ... and if she's concerned, she's doing her best to cover it up.

The singer was out with her husband, Evan Ross, at Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills Monday evening, when our photog asked about the rumor ... sparked by Jessica's own post. We asked "Is it true? Do you know?"

Ash had a simple a one-word answer, “No.”

It could be "no" the rumor's not true, or "no" she doesn't know.

Either way, she and Evan didn't seem the least bit fazed by the topic, so chances are she knows full well what's going on -- but clearly isn't gonna out Jessica and her husband Eric Johnson's biz at this point.

Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger just welcomed their third baby -- and the pair took to IG to share the happy news.

There was no baby pics in their Monday post -- just a sweet, simple shot of their son’s name, Ford Fitzgerald Schwarzenegger Pratt, and his Friday birth date.

Their caption kept it simple -- "Mama and baby are doing well, and Ford’s siblings are thrilled by his arrival. We feel so blessed and grateful. Love, Katherine and Chris."

Britney Spears is reconnecting, face-to-face, with her son Jayden after years of not seeing each other, TMZ has confirmed -- but Kevin Federline is surprised to hear people calling it a full melting of their icy relationship.

TMZ has learned Jayden has seen Britney a couple of times recently since moving back to California from Hawaii, but as for a full-on reconciliation between them ... Kevin’s been left in the dark.

Kevin’s lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, tells TMZ ... "If there has been a reconciliation it’s news to Kevin." Mark adds that Kevin speaks to Jayden frequently and hasn’t been told about any kind of reconciliation between the 18-year-old and his mom.

Diddy's family is remaining committed to one another while the music superproducer is locked up ... with his baby mother Dana Tran, his daughter Love and his son Christian showing support to Diddy's twin daughters, Jessie and D'Lila.

Dana's got her own varsity jacket -- a forest green one -- on ... and, she flashed a smile too-- keeping her spirits up while the father of her daughter deals with his legal troubles.

James Van Der Beek says he and his wife are completely done having kids ... admitting he went under the knife and got a vasectomy -- right before he was diagnosed with cancer.

The actor sat down for an interview with People -- published Saturday -- where he talked about his family life ... including the huge brood of kids he shares with his wife of more than a decade, Kimberly.

James says the couple -- who has six kids -- has been blessed with great fertility ... and, they know the only way to ensure they were finished on the kids front was for James to have a doctor snip him down there.

Jennifer Lawrence rocked an elegant look while out Thursday night in La La Land ... and her baby bump was on full display.

Bhabie, AKA Danielle Bregoli, hopped on Instagram Thursday and posted, "I'm Sorry my cancer medicine made me loose [sic] weight. I'm slowly gaining it back. So stop running w the worst narratives."

Of course, it's a mystery what all that means ... but Bhabie recently revealed her dramatic weight loss in photos she posted to her social media accounts.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's daughter Hope Walz took a breather from her TV binge and mac and cheese session to serve up her post-election thoughts -- safe to say, she’s feeling pretty fired up!

Hope didn’t hold back in her TikTok rant Thursday, giving major props to VP Kamala Harris despite the election loss. Proud as she is of her dad, she was speaking as a Kamala stan, saying after this outcome, she’s convinced the country doesn’t deserve someone as fierce as her.

Hope said after the election let-down, Kamala should just go live her best life -- and also threw some major shade at Trump and his VP-elect J.D. Vance, saying they have to live with themselves at the end of the day -- which in her eyes is punishment enough.

As Vivian's reaction to the election results went viral, Elon posted on X and claimed "the woke mind virus killed [his] son."

The Tesla CEO expressed a similar sentiment over the summer, when he claimed that Vivian had been brainwashed by left-wing propaganda leading to her transition ... which he dubbed the "woke mind virus."

Looks like these two won't be making amends any time soon.

Elon Musk's estranged daughter says she's bailing on the U.S.A. ... 'cause even though Donald Trump's presidency will only last 4 years, the people who voted for him are here to stay.

Vivian Jenna Wilson -- the 20-year-old transgender daughter who the controversial billionaire once said was "killed by the woke mind virus" -- claims she's moving out of the country after Trump's second presidential victory.

Wilson took to Threads to explain her choice ... telling her followers she's given the decision a ton of thought -- and, ultimately, she doesn't see a future for herself in the United States.

Gypsy explained, "There's been a lot of chatter around the paternity of our baby and while we've known for sure from the beginning, I feel that it's finally time to put all these theories to rest."

As the passionate Swiftie -- who donned a full NFL getup, helmet and all -- tried to get Travis to look over at her, the guard grabbed her by the elbow and began guiding her away from the floor.
