Blueface's mom Karlissa Saffold hates to see her family crumbling under the weight of the legal system -- but says she's going to hold it down until everyone is free!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Karlissa in Hollywood on the heels of Chrisean Rock's surprising arrest earlier this week at Blueface's court hearing -- a move Karlissa calls "bad timing" on the part of the authorities.

She says the entire world knew Chrisean had a warrant, but for cops to act on it while Chrisean was purely in court to support Blueface was a low blow.

Random street attacks are not just an issue in the U.S. of A ... they're also a problem in South America -- with the latest victim being a child in Brazil and the incident was all caught on video.

Check out the surveillance footage ... the girl was strolling down a sidewalk with her mother as another lady walked towards them in the opposite direction.

As the two parties passed each other, the lady smacked the girl upside her face, causing her head to snap back. The mom pulled her daughter close and said something to the lady.

Before this comedic kiddo rockin' his shaggy hair turned into a comedian and actor, he was just a simple boy growing up in Santa Cruz, California and keeping up with his two older siblings before making it BIG in Hollywood.

During the mid to late '90s, he was featured on popular movies and TV shows like "Star Trek" and "ER," but perhaps you'd most recognize him from NBC's hit show "Parks and Recreation."

He's worked with Hollywood legends like Amy Poehler, Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman.

Need one more clue? He auditioned to play Jim Halpert on "The Office."

The student who says a coach ran up from behind him and choked him with a rolled-up shirt earlier this month is now planning to sue the man and his school ... telling TMZ Sports he's dealing with back pain and several other issues stemming from the scary incident.

14-year-old Michael Moon says it all happened back on June 4 ... after a coach at his Ypsilanti Middle School had seen him "horseplaying" with one of his female classmates.

Moon claims the coach asked him to do pushups due to the interaction -- but when Moon told him he couldn't do them because of a hand injury he had recently sustained ... he says the man became upset.

Celine Dion says her kids are afraid she'll die as she battles Stiff-Person Syndrome ... and they have a very good reason.

In a preview for the singer's new interview with Australia's "Sunrise," Celine discussed her journey with the rare neurological disorder -- which causes painful spasms and muscle issues -- and she confessed it's taken a major toll on her 3 children.

Although Celine had been private about her health struggles until announcing her diagnosis in 2022 ... she now says her kids with late husband René Angélil have had a front-row seat to her illness ... and it's left them terrified.

The Wisconsin high school official who got shoved aside by the father of a graduating senior is speaking out on the incident ... saying an apology here is too little, too late.

Superintendent Rainey Briggs -- who was onstage at Baraboo High during the now-infamous graduation ceremony -- told media outlets attorneys for Matthew Eddy contacted him Monday with an informal apology from the dad ... but it sounds like it didn't go over well.

Briggs told Daily Mail, "An apology just doesn't make things go away." He says Eddy caused "a lot of harm" by rushing the stage and physically preventing Briggs from shaking his daughter's hand.

If going up against little kids on the basketball court was an Olympic sport, Caitlin Clark would certainly make the team ... 'cause the Indiana Fever superstar blocked the hell outta a youngin' at a charity event!!

The hilarious highlight went down at Gainbridge's Habitat for Humanity event this week ... when CC playfully went 1-on-1 with a lucky fan in attendance.

In a clip from the gathering, the boy is shown dribbling up the court as Clark played D ... and even though he was barely 3-feet tall, he pulled up with a shot attempt over the 6-foot guard.

Before this lil' girl from San Bruno, California grew up to be a YouTuber, she was a high-spirited cheerleader, a lacrosse player and began her YouTube channel when she was just 16 years old.

If you haven't seen her hosting the Met Gala for Vogue, perhaps you've seen her cooking vids, car vlogs and fashion hauls. Her popularity has landed on her on "Nightline" and "Hot Ones."

When she's not spillin' the tea on her 'anything goes' podcast, you can sip on her very own coffee, which made its way to a collaboration with Kendall Jenner's 818 Tequila!

Chrisean Rock got thrown into handcuffs and hauled away by cops after she walked into a courthouse this week with her baby -- and now we have a sense of what it's all about.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the rapper was taken into custody Monday after she entered a courthouse in the San Fernando Valley ... where we're told Chrisean was swiftly pounced on by officers. BTW, Blueface's other baby mama, Jaidyn Alexis, was there too ... although it doesn't seem she was rolling with Chrisean.

Anyway, we're told 5 LAPD cops were already waiting for Chrisean when she walked in -- so it appears this might've been planned ahead of time ... and as soon as she entered, they were on her.

Before this cool kiddo in his neon green sunglasses turned into a reality television star, he was growin' up in the Land of 10,000 Lakes with his triplet brothers ... Brandon, Billy and Bert ... with the dream of becoming an actor!

Although he's quite proud of studying pre-med at Florida State University, he wound up going the "mactor" route. He may not be the "#1 guy in the group" but he definitely owns the most flip-flop slides!

When he's not at TomTom, go sip some whiskey with him at his other bar!

The dad who rushed his daughter's graduation stage to keep her superintendent away seemed to be waiting for his moment to shine -- based on new video we got a hold of.

TMZ has obtained additional footage from Baraboo PD that shows the incident in question -- namely, the father of the high school girl who was ready to walk across the stage ... only for her dad to jump in and whisk away the superintendent, refusing to let him shake her hand.

We've seen this moment from one POV -- but now, in this new clip, we can see it from a bird's eye view ... capturing the entire ruckus from beginning to end with a wide angle.

A massive LEGO bust went down in Southern California -- and it looks like some alleged thieves got their hands on quite the haul they were trying to hawk ... 'cause the pics are nuts.

Nearly 3,000 boxes of LEGO toy sets were discovered by police amid a massive retail theft bust in L.A. this week ... resulting in the arrest of 2 suspects.

According to the LAPD, the alleged culprits are Long Beach resident Richard Siegel -- who has been arrested on organized retail theft charges -- and Lawndale resident Blanca Gudino -- who was arrested for grand theft.

Growing up in Barranquilla, Columbia ... Before this cheeky girl with her hand on her hip turned into a super star, she was just writing poetry at four years old, busting out her singing skills and dancing on tables!

Her 2001 hit was such a banger you could listen to it whenever, wherever! As an adult, her performances have proven time and time again ... her "Hips Don't Lie" and her Super Bowl performance with Jenny from the Block did NOT disappoint!

She's collaborated with other big names like Cardi B and Beyoncé!

Rodeo star Spencer Wright's wife Kallie is opening up about the tragedy that led to her 3-year-old son's death ... saying her decisions that day will haunt her for the rest of her life.

Kallie -- who married Spencer in 2018 -- went to Facebook early this morning, just days after young Levi's passing ... where she relived some of the gut-wrenching details.

Wright explained their 24-acre Utah property has a creek that separates their home from the kids' grandparents' house. The creek, according to Kallie, is usually dry ... but it wasn't on May 21, the day of the accident, and Levi was pulled into the water.

A Pennsylvania crossing guard has drawn huge outrage -- this after she was arrested for allegedly giving drugs to middle schoolers and even smoking weed with one of them.

Cops in Delaware County handcuffed 26-year-old Kiara Lee, a Penn Wood Middle School employee, Tuesday ... after reports emerged witnesses had seen her giving children e-cigarettes and weed edibles.

There were loads of other similar claims against Lee -- one student's guardian said Lee had been giving their child vapes and marijuana edibles.

A family in Texas got more than they bargained for when they took their 2-year-old daughter to a drive-thru safari ... because a giraffe snatched the kid up ... quite literally!

This wild encounter from over the weekend was captured on camera, showing the moment little Paisley got lifted up and dropped by a hungry giraffe while she and her family were visiting the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Glen Rose, TX ... cruising through in their truck.

Paisley was riding in the truck bed with her mom when her dad stopped so they could feed a giraffe ... and that's when the giant animal reached down for a bag of food the kid was holding, grabbing hold of her shirt.
