Kids

Before this precious kiddo with her sweet smile turned into an American rapper and singer, she was just gettin' cozy in her furry blanket, was all goo-goo-gaga for the camera and began writing music when she was just a teen.

She started gaining traction back in 2016, posting her freestyles on Instagram, and she's no stranger to the celebrity world being that her cousin is Gabrielle Union and her uncle is MC Hammer.

Outside of her successful music career, she's got a makeup, jewelry and clothing line!

Need one more clue? "Tap In!"

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.

Here's a wild birthday party these kids won't forget ... they got a front-row seat to see a massive bear devour a family of baby ducks. Yeah, pretty grizzly scene.

The brown bear's unscheduled snack/murder spree begins when a family of ducks -- a mother and her 5 ducklings -- fly into Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo to go for a swim in a cool, inviting pool.

Big mistake, Mama Duck. Huge.

LeVar Burton's time hosting "Reading Rainbow" wasn't all rainbows and butterflies -- as it turns out, he actually clashed with producers ... all 'cause he was a hip and stylish dude!

The actor opens up about this in "Butterfly in the Sky" -- a new documentary about the beloved children's program that he hosted in the '80s, '90s and 2000s ... revealing some of the most iconic parts of his appearance back then actually pissed off the creative team.

As detailed by People, LeVar refused to dress or present himself in a way that felt inauthentic. As a result ... he says he'd clash with showrunners and people behind the scenes -- who apparently gave him a hard time over fashion choices, like his famous earring.

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."

Estos niños no olvidarán una fiesta de cumpleaños salvaje... ya que pudieron ver en primera fila cómo una enorme osa devoraba a una familia de patitos. Sí, una escena bastante fuerte.

El ataque no programado del oso pardo comienza cuando una familia de patos, una madre y sus 5 crías, llegan al zoo Woodland Park de Seattle para darse un baño en una piscina fresca y acogedora.

Gran error, mamá pato. Enorme.

'Bachelorette' alum Jason Tartick is taking his new relationship with TikTok star Kat Stickler out of the shadows and into the spotlight ... as the pair stepped out for a dinner date Monday evening.

The couple hit the town in Tampa, FL at the restaurant Meat Market, and they were joined by Kat's young daughter MJ ... which speaks volumes about the seriousness of their relationship.

Eyewitnesses tell TMZ ... 3 other guests were on hand for the evening out with the couple -- so, it's crystal clear Jason and Kat are done keeping a low public profile.

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!

Antes de que este niño adorable apareciera en la gran pantalla, no era más que un mini luchador, un atleta del equipo de atletismo de su instituto y un niño que crecía en Lake Stevens, Washington.

Saltó al estrellato en "Parks and Recreation" y puede que sea la estrella más enérgica de "Guardianes de la Galaxia". Si echas un vistazo a sus redes sociales, verás que le encanta la exploración espacial y los animales. Y también es conocido por agarrar una guitarra y cantar a todo pulmón.
