Brittany Bell and Nick Cannon raised a little brainiac!

Over the weekend, Brittany took to Instagram to share some milestone news for her and the Wild ‘n Out host’s oldest son: he’s starting fourth grade at just 7 years old! In a lengthy post, she gushed about her “bright babies,” which also include daughter Powerful Queen, 3, and son Rise Messiah, 22 months, gearing up for their big day. She wrote:

“Back to school for all of us!! My bright babies!! And my Rizzy who is already ready for school and had to jump in before we all were off!!”

She then raved about Golden’s advanced intelligence:

“Golden is 7 in 4th grade (yes he’s advanced and yes his emotional intelligence matches his cognitive intellect)”

Wow!! What a smart lil guy! We hope he’ll be OK hanging with all those 4th graders!

She also added that “last year Golden ran for and was elected as his class representative,” so it’s clear that this kid has big ambitions already! Good for him!

As for Powerful Queen, she wrote:

“our Pretty Pow is already in Pre-K big kids class! Weee so proud!! … Miss Pow is quite popular 🙂 so they are doing well — can’t wait for this year and what they will do!”

How exciting! She’s clearly doing something right as a momma! See her full post (below):

Let’s go, Golden Sagon and Powerful Queen!!

After steadily building his army of little Cannons with multiple women, Nick Cannon is still yearning to return to momma Mimi!

In an interview with E! News published on Tuesday, the Wild ‘n Out host revealed that after testing the waters with five other baby mommas, he ultimately wants to be with his first: Mariah Carey! When asked by the outlet if he’d ever consider getting back together with her, he said:

“We belong together. Yes, absolutely. Be stupid if I wouldn’t.”

Sheeeeeeesh. Nick has a proven track record of pinballing around baby mommas like nobody’s business, so why wouldn’t he consider factoring THE Mariah — the original recipe — into that equation?

But as far as why they haven’t rekindled their love, especially in the wake of her split from ex-boyfriend Bryan Tanaka, he revealed:

“She don’t want me.”

Yeah, she probably isn’t interested in having a dozen more stepkids out of nowhere! That’s what his We Playin’ Spades co-host Courtney Bee figures! She quipped:

“Yeah, you done left and had like 10 kids.”

He clearly moved on from her tenfold, so why shouldn’t she do the same?

Also, though… OUCH! Like, that can’t be great to hear for his five other baby mommas! We especially can’t wait to see what Bre Tiesi has to say! Just a quick rundown to remind everyone…

Nick shares Golden Sagon, Powerful Queen, and Rise Messiah with Brittany Bell:

Twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir, as well as Beautiful Zeppelin with Abby De La Rosa:

Onyx Ice with LaNisha Cole:

Legendary Love with Bre:

And Halo Marie and late son Zen with Alyssa Scott:

 

On his ten kids outside of his past relationship with Mariah, he joked:

“A whole baseball team. Like, ‘No, you can’t come back home.”

Yeah no s**t!

However he DID claim all his baby mommas get along “amazing.” He said:

“But that’s the thing, I don’t expect them to. I think that’s the thing that people might always think that it would be that. But it’s like everybody lives their own life, before me and after me. So I think that’s how you keep the peace and everybody moving, like everybody worried about themselves and not worried about what someone else is. As long as the kids are happy and they have the strongest understanding, I think that’s what makes sense. You gotta operate out of that.”

And while he may dream, it sounds like he knows the Mariah ship has sailed… Especially since their kids are now teens and even their days spending time together as co-parents are numbered:

“We gonna be done soon. We got teenagers now. I’m about to shed a tear. It’s happening too fast.”

There ain’t nobody else like Nick Cannon! Ha!

A Russian billionaire is putting Nick Cannon to shame with this WILD claim!

Pavel Durov, an app developer from Saint Petersberg, reportedly dropped a wild confession in one of his message boxes. The 39-year-old, who is worth an estimated $15.5 BILLION dollars, invented the messaging app Telegram, which has been rising in popularity in recent years. He also invented something called VK, which is the Russian version of Facebook — hence being dubbed his country’s Mark Zuckerberg.

Related: Justin Bieber Cuddles Up To Hailey’s Baby Bump In New Pics! LOOK!

Despite not being married, Pavel claimed in a post on his messenger service that he’s fathered over 100 kids worldwide — all because of a “weird request” his friend made over a decade ago. The post reportedly read:

“I was just told that I have over 100 biological kids. How is this possible for a guy who has never been married and prefers to live alone? … [My friend] and his wife couldn’t have kids due to a fertility issue and asked me to donate sperm at a clinic for them to have a baby. I laughed my ass off before realising he was dead serious.”

The businessman said after going to the sperm bank he was told they were having a shortage of “high quality donor material” and he felt it was his “duty” to help out anonymously:

“This sounded crazy enough to get me to sign up for sperm donation. The shortage of healthy sperm has become an increasingly serious issue worldwide, and I’m proud that I did my part to help alleviate it.”

We know what you’re all thinking, because we’re also thinking it — could any of these biological kids of his have a piece in his fortune or be an heir to his empire?! Well, that question he didn’t answer. What he did say, though, is he stopped being a sperm donor years ago, although there are still some frozen samples at an unnamed IVF clinic waiting to be used.

But the business mogul isn’t going to try and hide from his kids! He hopes to open-source his DNA so his biological children can easily find each other — and him! Good because we’d hate for them to end up dating one another!

Pavel says he has no regrets about his donations and hopes he can encourage others:

“Of course, there are risk, but I don’t regret having been a donor. I also want to help de-stigmatize the whole notion of sperm donation and incentivize more healthy men to do it, so that families struggling to have kids can enjoy more options. Defy convention — redefine the norm.”

Up until this bombshell claim, the billionaire was only known to have two children with his ex-partner Daria Bondarenko — a daughter and a son. They apparently have a lot of half brothers and sisters around the world, according to their father!

Nick Cannon is making time for ALL of his kids this Father’s Day.

The Wild ‘n Out host spoke to People on Monday about how he plans to celebrate the upcoming holiday, revealing that he’ll be busy making his rounds to see all 11 of his children — despite just wanting to “rest.” He dished:

“It’s definitely one of those days where I got be on my Ps and Qs the entire day. It’s supposed to be a day where I get to rest, but I want to give all my kids the opportunity to connect and give me gifts, and all that type of stuff.”

Uhhh, if it’s so exhausting making time for all of his children — even just to receive “gifts” — maybe he should have stopped before he hit the double digits! HA!

The 43-year-old added:

“It’s a fun day and I appreciate all the love that I get on that day.”

Well, at least the appreciation and traces of effort are there… Except, are they really?? Because it sounds like all the kids will actually be coming to HIM! While he WORKS!

The TV personality revealed that he’ll be busy shooting The Masked Singer on the holiday, but that it’s all good because “probably a lot of kids would be on set.” That’s definitely one way to look at things! LOLz! And as for what he wants for the holiday?! Well, he did note how much he loves “arts and crafts gifts.” He said:

“I’m getting the macaroni necklaces, the construction paper card, all of that stuff, which I love. My offices are filled with great gifts that my kids have created and conjured up.”

Nick shares 13-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with ex-wife Mariah Carey, as well as Golden Sagon, 7, Powerful Queen, 3, and Rise Messiah, 1, with Brittany Bell. Then there are also twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir, 2, as well as Beautiful Zeppelin, 1, with Abby De La Rosa. And we can’t forget about Onyx Ice, 21 months, with LaNisha Cole, along with Legendary Love, 1, with Bre Tiesi, and Halo Marie, 18 months, with Alyssa Scott. Also, of course, he and Alyssa also welcomed son Zen together in 2021, but the adorable baby boy sadly died of brain cancer five months later.

It sounds like Nick is going to have a Father’s Day to remember, though! Thoughts, Perezcious readers?? Think the kids will have fun on set, or nah?! Let us know in the comments down below!

Nick Cannon will do anything to protect the family jewels! Even if it means taking out a massive insurance policy!

No, we are not kidding! The 43-year-old television personality got his balls — yes, his balls — insured! Here’s the deal. Apparently, Nick used the Ball Valuation Tool from Dr. Squatch, a men’s natural soap and personal care products company, to assess his gonads on multiple factors such as size, favorite features, and bedroom maneuvers. And the results? Well, the brand gave him the title of “Most Valuable Balls” based on the outcome of the assessment! Whelp, that must be an ego boost for the Wild ‘n Out host.

And since Nick has such valuable assets below the belt, Dr. Squatch decided to get him some extra protection. You know, just in case! The company took out an insurance policy through MMA/Momentous for a whopping $10 million! Damn! That’s nuts! Nick said in a statement about the honor:

“Haters say it’s time for me to stop having kids and put this super sperm to rest, but I’m doubling down on these valuable balls and my future kids. Shoutout to Dr. Squatch for giving my balls the credit they deserve and hooking me up with the protection I need to keep this family tree rolling! Don’t go another day without protecting and caring for your most valuable assets with Ball-to-Ball Coverage through Dr. Squatch’s new Ball Care products.”

Wow…

OK, so this whole thing is a weird promo. But it’s not like Nick is the first celebrity to take out an outrageous insurance policy on a body part — though this is possibly the strangest to date! Rihanna reportedly insured her legs for $1 million. His ex-wife, Mariah Carey, even got two policies for a jaw-dropping $35 million. Unsurprisingly, one was for her most lucrative asset — her voice! And just like Riri, she also took out one for her legs. So, he joins a bunch of celebs in the odd body part insurance deal!

It’s probably a good thing he got his balls insured! You never know what could happen! And Nick did not necessarily shut down the idea of having a 13th (!!!) child when asked by Entertainment Tonight last year, even though he has his “hands full” right now so… Better safe than sorry, right?

[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content]

Hopefully Bre Tiesi saved up some of her Selling Sunset money, because she’s being sued for MILLIONS.

Last Thursday, three of the reality star’s former employees launched a shocking lawsuit against her. In it, they alleged everything from “harassment,” to “emotional distress” — and even outright homophobia.

Related: Kevin Hart Reveals How He Finally Learned Homophobia Is Wrong

According to court docs obtained by multiple outlets, Lucy Poole, Amanda Bustard, and Kenneth Gomez, who are listed as the plaintiffs in the suit, claimed to be “harassed, discriminated against, and/or retaliated against on the basis of their sex, gender, and/or sexual orientation, and for having repeatedly reported, and demanded cessation of the harassing, discriminatory and retaliatory conduct” while under Bre’s employment.

Yeesh…

Because of Bre’s alleged mistreatment, the plaintiffs “suffered severe emotional distress, loss of earnings, and loss of employment benefits, among other things.” Lucy, who worked as a nanny for Bre and her son Legendary Love, whom she shares with Nick Cannon, claimed in the filings that she “suffers a mental disability” and was called multiple derogatory names by the 32-year-old, including “short bus riding bitch,” “dodo head” and “ADHD idiot.”

WTF!

Lucy also claimed Bre often would become “vulgar and violent” if “a task was not performed to her satisfaction.” She also allegedly forced Lucy to throw out anything in Legendary’s closet that could “be construed as feminine or girly.” She allegedly “told Ms. Poole that her child was not going to grow up to be a ‘f*****,’” all while “knowing Ms. Poole was a member of the LGBTQ community.”

And that’s not even the extent of her alleged homophobia… Kenneth, who is also described as “a member of the LGBTQ community” in the court docs and worked as Bre’s assistant and stylist, claimed she “would repeatedly make derogatory and demeaning comments about members of the LGBTQ community.” And because of his resistance, Bre allegedly refused to pay him “and unlawfully terminated him in April 2023 after he complained about not receiving his wages.”

What. The. F**k!!!

As for the third employee, Amanda, she worked as Bre’s social media manager. She claimed to have been “subjected to inappropriate and violent behavior” by the mother of one. She alleged Bre “screamed” at other employees, and said things like “I’m going to kill her,” and “I’m going to slam her head against the wall.” Amanda also claimed Bre “used offensive and inflammatory names,” such as “f*****,” “r*****,” and “c**t.”

According to Page Six, the plaintiffs are seeking more than $4,250,000 each for damages — and a trial by jury. WOW. What are your reactions to this bombshell filing? Let us know down in the comments (below).

There could be a super hot new couple in Hollywood right now!

During Thursday’s episode of the Deux U podcast, an anonymous source sent in a tip claiming that none other than Lenny Kravitz and Mariah Carey are dating! And they have been for a while! Sorry, Nick Cannon! You will have to wait in line to shoot your shot again with your ex-wife!

The tipster claimed that they have been “quietly dating since November” and were supposedly spotted getting cozy at several events these past few months:

“The former was even seen at the latter’s Christmas concert in LA. Since then, the two have been honored at a number of industry events and been spotted getting awfully close.”

Related: Jewel Reacts To THOSE Kevin Costner Dating Rumors For The First Time!

Wait! So they were already seeing each other when her ex-boyfriend Bryan Tanaka confirmed in December that they broke up? Whoa! That would be very interesting… if true. For now, the insider claimed Mariah and Lenny have been keeping their relationship a secret since they are still in the beginning stages. However, they could be going public with their romance later this year?! The insider claimed:

“Don’t be surprised when the two make their relationship public at this year’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, which both have been nominated for. They’re keeping it under wraps just because it’s the early days, but they both been spotted at a number of events together, including a discreet dinner date at Craig’s in West Hollywood yesterday.”

OMG!!!

If this is all true, there is no denying that they would be a fiery couple! Damn! And what makes this rumored romance extra special? They have a looong history together already! For those who don’t know, Lenny and Mariah have been friends for decades! They even hung out together before they became famous. The Hunger Games alum recalled to People in February:

“We met on the east side in New York, and we were around the same group of friends. She was working on her demos. I was working on mine. She worked at a sports bar I used to hang out at.”

Lenny would even go to her and her roommate’s apartment at the time. One memory that sticks out most to him? She had a bunch of feline friends inside the place! The American Woman singer told Entertainment Tonight:

“We used to go over to their house and hang out. She had a bunch of cats. And I remember her playing her cassettes and me playing mine.”

Once they were thrust into the spotlight, they remained pals. They even starred in the 2009 movie Precious together. But now, things between them seem to be no longer platonic! It sounds like a real friends-to-lovers kind of story! And we absolutely love it! Again, if this is all true! Reactions, Perezcious readers? Sound OFF in the comments below!

Nick Cannon is having a hard time when it comes to the Diddy and Cassie situation.

Before s**t REALLY hit the fan for the Bad Boy for Life rapper, before his homes got raided by feds, reportedly as part of a sweeping sex trafficking investigation, Nick talked in detail about the first allegations. You know, Cassie‘s 2023 lawsuit, which was settled within 24 hours of filing — and accused Diddy of rape, abuse, and more.

Related: Ashton Kutcher Said He Had WILD Stories About Partying With Diddy!

In an interview on The Way Up with Angela Yee, Nick didn’t exactly defend Diddy against the accusations, but he did caution folks who didn’t know them about casting any judgments:

“There’s a lot of things that we probably don’t know the details on, but we’re all on the outside looking in. When you start to hear stuff, you don’t know how to feel because, like, you know these people.”

He added that it’s a different can of worms when the person being accused of terrible behavior is someone you know:

“We’re sitting back, you know, praying and hoping for the best, but then at the same time, when you know individuals, it’s like a family member when you hear something happen, you’re like, ‘Damn, I don’t agree with the behavior, but I care for the person.’”

The 43-year-old continued by again telling folks to be patient, basically telling everyone to stop judging Diddy and hang back:

“We’re watching it in real time and we don’t know how to feel because we don’t know the truth and we don’t know everything. When it’s revealed, it’ll be revealed.”

Well… it’s a bit more revealed now, isn’t it? The feds are investigating Diddy for sex trafficking and more! Obviously he’s innocent until proven guilty — in a court of law. But Homeland Security doesn’t just raid homes for kicks. Clearly there’s a lot of evidence already! So yeah, Nick’s comments haven’t aged well.

And you know what? They weren’t seen as great from the start either! The Drumline star faced a lot of backlash right away for what fans saw as a defense of his pal Diddy. So much so he had to clarify his message in an episode of his Counsel Culture podcast in February! The Masked Singer host explained he’s conflicted when it comes to taking a stance on Cassie’s case against the rapper:

“I find difficulty when I’m asked about people that I know … They asked me about Puff and I answered it as honestly as I knew how to answer it. I know these people. They’re not just public figures to me. So I have to almost do this dance about when it comes up, because just as much as I know Diddy, I know Cassie.”

He continued:

“I think what they brought up is, like, I said I’m kind of praying for Cassie. Trying to find the high frequency in knowing the story, knowing the right thing to talk about. I was like, this is someone who was hurt, who was victimized, but then when this question goes a little but further, like, ‘So what about Puff?’ I don’t know how to feel about that.”

He did cite how Diddy was there for him when he caught heat for making Antisemitic comments:

“When I was going through my stuff, someone that called, checked on me, stood by me, stood up for me, and I was like, ‘What do I owe you?’

“Owe” him?? Does he think one should stay loyal to a rapist? To an abuser of women? We also wonder if this was all because Diddy was there for him… And not because of any other reasons… Watch the clip (below):

What are your thoughts, Perezcious readers? How have these comments aged in the wake of Diddy’s home raids? Let us know down in the comments.
