Kids

Before this lil' cutie with buns turned into a singer and global icon, she was playin' a friendly game of Texas hold 'em, growing up in Houston, with her destiny being great from the time she was just a little one!

Aside from decades of great songs and performances from this mega star, she's also hit the big screen showcasing her acting skills ... "The Pink Panther" and "Dream Girls" just to shout out a couple.

The only gal she may need to watch out for stealing her thunder is her dancing daughter!

Antes de que esta preciosidad con moños se convirtiera en cantante e icono mundial, crecía en Houston muy tranquilamente.

Además de décadas de grandes canciones e interpretaciones de esta megaestrella, también ha llegado a la gran pantalla mostrando sus dotes de actriz, "La Pantera Rosa" y "Dream Girls", por citar solo un par.

La única chica con la que tiene que tener cuidado es con su hija bailarina.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will have a bit of extra motivation through the rest of the playoffs -- the Oklahoma City Thunder star is a new dad!!

The MVP candidate and his longtime girlfriend, former college soccer player Hailey Summer, revealed they were expecting last December ... and on Tuesday, SGA announced to his 3.2 million fans on Instagram their son has arrived.

"Ares Alexander 🤍," SGA said in the caption.

Ares was born on April 25, 2024 ... which was right in the middle of the Thunder's first-round series against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Luckily, SGA was off that day ... as the Thunder were fresh off a Game 2 win the night prior.

SGA's fans think this will be like a superpower for the Canadian baller ... with many flooding the comment section to give their two cents on the impact the family milestone might have on his game for the rest of the postseason.

"Shai is about to get a fatherhood attribute boost," one follower said.

Shai averaged 30.1 points and 6.2 assists per game this season ... so it would be great news for OKC fans, who are celebrating their first playoff series win since the 2015-16 season.

The Thunder are now waiting for the Clippers and Mavericks series to end ... and the winner will meet them in the conference semifinals.

12:58 PM PT -- Francis Ngannou released a statement on the loss ... and it's incredibly emotional.

"Too soon to leave but yet he's gone," he said. "My little boy, my mate, my partner Kobe was full of life and joy. Now, he's laying without life. I shouted his name over and over but he's not responding."

Ngannou added Kobe made him his "best self" ... and he's now lost without him.

La superestrella de los deportes de combate Francis Ngannou está de luto por el trágico fallecimiento de su hijo de 18 meses esta semana, expresando su dolor desgarrador en redes sociales.

"¿Cuál es el propósito de la vida si lo que estamos luchando con uñas y dientes para alejarnos es lo que finalmente nos golpea más fuerte?". Ngannou publicó en X el lunes. "¿Por qué la vida es tan injusta y despiadada?".

"¿Por qué la vida siempre nos quita lo que más queremos? Estoy jodidamente cansado".

Nick Viall is officially no longer a bachelor ... as the reality TV star-turned-podcaster wed fiancée Natalie Joy over the weekend.

The Bachelor Nation alum and the surgical technologist said "I do" in an outdoor ceremony in Savannah, Georgia. The couple -- who got engaged in January 2023 -- confirmed their nuptials with several posts to Instagram ...  sharing glimpses into their rustic welcome party and picturesque wedding.

For the nuptials, Natalie wore an off-the-shoulder white gown, which featured a corset top and full skirt. Her cathedral veil was certainly a showstopper ... as it dramatically lay to the side as she posed for photos with Nick and their daughter, River Rose.

Nick Viall ya no es oficialmente un soltero, ya que la ex estrella de reality convertido en presentador se casó con su prometida Natalie Joy durante el fin de semana.

El ex alumno de Bachelor Nation y la tecnóloga quirúrgica dijeron "sí, quiero" en una ceremonia al aire libre en Savannah, Georgia. La pareja -que se comprometió en enero de 2023- confirmó su boda con varias publicaciones en Instagram, compartiendo atisbos de su rústica fiesta de bienvenida y su pintoresca boda.

Para la boda, Natalie lució un vestido blanco con hombros descubiertos, corsé en la parte superior y falda con vuelo. Su velo de catedral fue sin duda algo increíble, ya que tuvo que hacerlo hacia un lado mientras posaba para las fotos con Nick y su hija, River Rose.

Before this cool kid sittin' on his momma's lap was up on the big screen, he was just a mini wrestler, shot puttin' it up for his high school track team and growing up in Lake Stevens, Washington.

He rose to stardom on "Parks and Recreation" and he may be the most yoked star in "Guardians of the Galaxy". If you take a look at his social media, it's clear he has a love for space exploration and animals. And, he's also known for picking up a guitar and singin' his heart out!

Joe Biden's opening up about his mental health struggles ... saying he once considered taking his own life in one particularly low moment -- but, his kids saved him.

POTUS sat down for an interview with Howard Stern on his SiriusXM show Friday, and spoke about his first wife Neilia and their infant daughter dying in a 1972 car crash ... admitting he briefly thought about suicide.

Biden says a person doesn't have to be crazy to consider this ... adding he even thought about jumping off the Delaware Memorial Bridge ... but ultimately decided against it because he had two other children, Beau and Hunter, to think about.

¡¡¡Doja Cat está echando humo a causa de los padres que tienen el descaro de llevar a sus hijos a sus conciertos y luego se quejan de lo que ven, después de todo, ella tiene un éxito titulado "Wet Vagina" por lo que más quieran!!!

El viernes, Doja utilizó un lenguaje igualmente colorido mientras arremetía contra los padres que aparentemente no pueden encontrar niñeras capaces que cuiden a sus hijos.

No está claro qué fue lo que la hizo estallar exactamente, pero sus recientes actuaciones en Coachella respaldan su diatriba.

Doja Cat is fuming about parents who have the nerve to bring kids to her concerts, and then complain about what they see -- after all, she has a hit entitled "Wet Vagina" for cryin' out loud!!!

On Friday, Doja used equally colorful language while lashing out at adults who, apparently, can't find able-bodied babysitters.

It's unclear what exactly set her off, but her recent Coachella performances back up her rant.

Before this sweet boy wearing striped overalls turned into an American actor and comedian, he was just a cool New York City kid, cruising the concrete jungle with big dreams of making it in the entertainment industry.

After appearing on "The Rosie O'Donnell Show" back in 1996, he went on to act on "The Amanda Show" and made his film debut in "Snow Day".

Yes, he's probably most known for his starring roles on Nickelodeon during the early to mid-2000s, but he's also a popular YouTuber often discussing his comedic lifestyle to his 3.5 million subscribers.

Antes de que este dulce niño se convirtiera en actor y cómico estadounidense, no era más que un chico de Nueva York que se paseaba por la jungla de cemento con grandes sueños de triunfar en la industria del entretenimiento.

Sí, probablemente es más conocido por sus papeles protagonistas en Nickelodeon a principios y mediados de la década de 2000, pero también es un popular YouTuber que a menudo le habla de su estilo de vida cómico a sus 3.5 millones de suscriptores.

Sources familiar tell TMZ … Farrah Aldjufrie's L.A.-area home got burglarized Tuesday afternoon, with the crime happening around 1 PM PT. Thankfully, we're told Farrah wasn't home when this happened ... but unfortunately, these crooks made off with quite a lot.

Victims of disgraced former Team USA doctor Larry Nassar will receive a massive $138.7 million payout from the U.S. Department of Justice.

The U.S. Department of Justice announced Tuesday they'd be shelling out the huge payment to 139 victims ... all because the DOJ concluded the FBI failed to conduct a thorough investigation of Nassar once the bureau received critical information that could've put a stop to the doctor's horrific acts.

“For decades, Lawrence Nassar abused his position, betraying the trust of those under his care and medical supervision while skirting accountability,” Acting Associate Attorney General Benjamin C. Mizer said in a news release.
