Here's Nicole Murphy at some TV premiere event in West Hollywood ... where we guarantee no one was talking about the show once she arrived.

It's like when a wedding guest looks better than the bride.

3:40 PM PT -- Lil Mama is apologizing and acknowledging it was "totally irresponsible of me to drive without a valid drivers license." She added that she understands there will be consequences, but she very much wants to "continue to be a role model for young women and men."

Lil Mama is sitting in an NYC jail after getting busted doing a little more than 10 miles over the speed limit ... unfortunately for her, cops say she was doing it without a driver's license.

The 27-year-old rapper -- best know for her 2008 hit "Lip Gloss," and for playing Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, was cruising around Harlem around 4 AM Thursday -- when cops lit her up for doing 38 in a 25, according to our NYPD sources.

When officers ran her info ... they discovered the ex "America's Best Dance Crew" judge's license had been revoked. Cops took her into custody, but beats the hell out of a DWI.

'Memba when she was just a kid ...

Lane Bryant is trying to roll out a sexy new ad starring Ashley Graham and other plus-sized models wearing almost nothing ... but multiple TV networks have banned the spot.

TMZ has obtained the unaired commercial, which sources connected to Lane Bryant tell us was rejected by ABC and NBC. We're told neither provided specifics about what crossed the line ... other than to say they were turning it down "as is."

Our sources firmly believe it's a size issue and not nudity ... since thinner women frequently appear in commercials which are already airing. Think Victoria's Secret.

NBC says it's asked Lane Bryant to make "minor edit to comply with broadcast indecency guidelines." It would not say what specifically was indecent about the ad.

We also reached out to ABC, but so far ... radio silence.

2 Chainz added a few more in an all out shopping spree at what sounds like his favorite spot in the world.

We got Tity Boi outside Avianne Jewelers in NYC, and you can tell from the video ... he was in the mood to do some serious shopping.

We spoke with owner Joe Avianne who told us Chainz left with a 25 karat black onyx stone ring outlined in diamonds, a 25 karat diamond tennis necklace, and an upgraded 30 karat diamond bracelet. Total damage -- $65,000.

We're guessing he was splurging to celebrate his new project with Lil Wayne, "ColleGrove."

As 2 Chainz would put it -- when he dies, bury him inside that jewelry store.

Jonathan Goldsmith -- best known as "The Most Interesting Man in the World" until yesterday -- is staying thirsty ... for bigger, better gigs.

Dos Equis announced it was retiring the famous commercial character on Wednesday, and Goldsmith tells TMZ ... he immediately got his management team on the horn to relaunch his film and TV career.

Goldsmith's been with Dos Equis for 9 years, but before that he was a very successful working actor ... starring in movies like "Hang 'Em High" and TV series like "Dallas," "Knots Landing," and "CHiPs."

He says the Mexican beer gig was very, very good to him -- about $1 mil a year for 5 days of work. And while real life JG counts Prez Obama and Richard Branson as friends, and clears active land mines in Vietnam -- he's hoping for new roles to break the 'Most Interesting Man' mold.

At least Dos Equis is sending him off with a bang ...

Chumlee from "Pawn Stars" has been arrested for guns and drugs after police raided his home while investigating an alleged sexual assault ... TMZ has learned.

Las Vegas Metro PD says officers showed up at his home Wednesday afternoon with a search warrant in connection with a sexual assault case. We're told Chumlee is the suspect in that case.

Our law enforcement sources tell us cops found marijuana, meth and at least one weapon during the search.

Chumlee was taken into custody and booked for drug and weapon possession. We're told the sexual assault is still under investigation.

Story developing ...

Katt Williams got out of a Georgia jail cell -- even though prosecutors fought hard to have him held without bail -- but the judge put several restrictions on his release.

During Katt's bond hearing prosecutors hit him with 2 new charges -- marijuana and firearm possession, both felonies -- and argued the comedian should be held behind bars. He'd already been charged with terror threats and false imprisonment for allegedly directing others to choke and hold his bodyguard, Corey Dixon, hostage.

The judge released him on a $60k bond -- and ordered Katt to stay away from drugs, alcohol and guns.

In court, prosecutors said Katt and his crew shaved off Corey's beard while holding him and threatening to kill him. As part of his release ... Katt must also stay away from the bodyguard, and surrender his passport.

No more international gigs, at least for now.

3:25 PM PT -- The hearing's ended, and the judge did not rule yet on whether an examiner will be needed to review 50 Cent's assets. Nor did she comment about the "fake" money pics that prompted his creditors to demand an examiner.

Stay tuned.

50 Cent thumbed his nose at his many, many creditors by showing up in bankruptcy court with stacks of cash -- possibly fake -- sticking out of his waistband.

50 had to show up in a Hartford, CT court on Wednesday to face the judge over his social media poses with giant wads of money. As we first reported ... Fiddy claimed in docs the dough is just prop money he uses to keep up his image as a rich mogul.

Considering the reason for today's hearing, it was pretty bold (or stupid) of him to post this shot ... WHILE the hearing was still in progress.

We'll see if the judge digs 50's cents of humor.

Donald Trump may be flying high after picking up 3 more states, but he better hope a certain donut-loving, follicly-challenged guy doesn't enter the race ... according to a 'Simpsons' star.

Harry Shearer -- the voice of Mr. Burns, Ned Flanders, Smithers, Principal Skinner and many more -- was at LAX when we brought up the now infamous episode that predicted a Trump presidency ... 16 seasons ago!

Shearer explained why it worked, but only as a goof, way back then. As for whether it's still funny -- Harry explained why he'd vote Homer before Trump.

Dr. Luke's legal war with Kesha is NOT going to cost him his job with Sony and, in fact, his relationship with execs there is "excellent" ... according to his team.

Dr. Luke's attorney tells TMZ there is no truth to a report that the record label was dumping him a year early, due to the negative publicity surrounding his battle with Kesha over sexual abuse allegations.

We're told, "Luke has an excellent relationship with Sony. His representatives are in regular contact with executives at the highest levels at Sony, and this has never come up."

We reached out to Sony ... which responded with a "no comment."

Bow Wow got the worst birthday present ever -- an egging, which his crew thinks came at the hands of his ex-girlfriend Keyshia Cole ... as breakup revenge.

Bow Wow tweeted early Wednesday that "one of his exes" egged two luxury cars parked outside his home -- fortunately for him, the culprit messed up and yolked his friend's rides. That friend posted pics of the damage and pointed the finger at Keyshia.

But Cole tells TMZ she had zero involvement in the incident, and called out Bow Wow on Twitter for "snitching."

Our sources tell us Bow Wow and his crew are adamant the egg hit was meant for Bow Wow, not his pal, and think Cole is retaliating against him for ending their relationship.

Tiny's recent baby shower was almost ruined when one of her chefs stormed off with the food ... after the guy showed up tardy to the party.

Tiny tells TMZ Chef Kool was hired to handle appetizers but showed up 2 hours late and began complaining the main course chef was hogging all the kitchen space.

After an argument, Chef K took off with the apps. Tiny and T.I. had put down a $1k deposit, but Kool bolted with the other half of his fee, but more importantly ... he took his Hennessy chicken wings! Yes, that was on the menu.

Chef K claims he only stormed off because event planners told him he wouldn't be getting paid since it was a privilege to cook for celebs like T.I. and Tiny. Tiny says they absolutely paid the deposit.

Tiny says she's furious Kool tried to ruin her shower, but ultimately everything was okay -- even without appetizers -- since the other chef's meal was delicious.

Jason Derulo and Daphne Joy did their own version of "Baywatch" ... flaunting their ridiculous bodies while vacationing in Mexico.

The couple hopped on an ATV, tried their hands at surfing and frolicked on the sand outside Casa Aramara, Joe Francis' celeb-friendly estate in Punta Mita.

The man accused of stalking Mandy Moore -- after repeatedly showing up on her doorstep -- is now officially on notice to stay away ... or else.

Moore was granted a 3 year restraining order Wednesday morning against Salahudin Moultaali. The order says Moultaali must remain 100 yards away from Mandy, her home, vehicles and anywhere she's working.

Moultaali was arrested three times in a two week span outside Mandy's Hollywood home last month after he allegedly left notes saying he was God and Satan, and demanded to speak with the actress.

Moultaali is still facing 3 misdemeanor charges for trespassing, stalking and violating a previous temporary restraining order that Mandy had been granted.
