We're told the goal is to set up freshly engaged Cardi and Offset with a deal similar to what Gucci Mane and Keyshia Ka'oir nailed down with BET to air their lavish wedding.
Our sources say renowned producer Mona Scott from VH1 has already reached out to Cardi B. Mona created 'Love & Hip Hop' ... so you'd think she'd be the front-runner.

Harvey Weinstein Banned for Life from Producers Guild
Harvey Weinstein just got the death penalty from the Producers Guild of America.
The PGA announced Monday ... "In light of Mr. Weinstein's widely reported behavior .. the Producers Guild's National Board has voted unanimously to enact a lifetime ban."
The guild had began the process of ending his membership 2 weeks ago, but was willing to give Weinstein until Nov. 6 to plead his case before a final verdict. The PGA said Weinstein forfeited that opportunity ... and as a result, they dropped the hammer early.
As we reported, Weinstein plans to continue making movies, but he won't have the guild's backing if he's successful in doing so.

Colin Kaepernick Mocked By Univ. Of NV Reno Cop ... At Halloween Party
The Chief of the University of Nevada, Reno Police Dept. -- where Colin Kaepernick went to school -- is apologizing for an officer who mocked the QB at a Halloween party.
The officer in hot water is Antonio Gutierrez -- who wore a Kaepernick jersey with a "Will stand for food" sign ... while sporting an afro wig and a fake nose in an effort to make fun of the QB.
But the UNR PD ain't laughing ... Chief Adam Garcia issued a statement condemning Gutierrez saying, "For those who have seen the Halloween costume of one of our officers apparently mocking a citizen who has chosen to take advantage of his constitutional right to protest, I offer my sincere apologies."
"Members of our profession are held to a higher standard and denigrating another -- on or off duty -- is insensitive for its lack of respect and lack of understanding on how others may negatively view their actions and may be impacted."
When asked if the officer was punished, we were told, "We have no policy that would dictate any disciplinary action."
FYI, Kaepernick was a standout QB at UNR from 2007 to 2010 -- before being drafted by the 49ers.

Remy Ma Lands New Album Deal ... Teams with Lil Kim for Nicki Attack
Remy Ma's first order of business after landing a new recording deal is teaming up with Lil Kim and shading the hell outta Nicki Minaj.
Sources close to the deal tell TMZ ... Columbia Records exec Shawn Holiday signed Remy to a multi-million dollar deal, and Remy immediately started working with Nicki's arch nemesis, Kim. We're told their track is called, "Wake Me Up."
The track is riddled with subliminal shots at Nicki:
-- "That crown I'm gon take that sh*t. Cause you a clown and homie don't play that sh*t."
-- "I heard he lay that d***. You let them filet that fish. You just met him how he bae that quick?"
Sounds like Remy's taking shots at Nicki's relationship with Nas ... which, publicly at least, took off pretty quickly. We're told Remy and Kim shot a music video for the track last week in the Bronx.
Remy has a new manager too ... Vincent Herbert, who used to rep his now estranged wife, Tamar Braxton, before she filed for divorce.

Hillary Clinton Manafort, Shmanafort ... Buy My New Book!!
Hillary Clinton's going full Kardashians by passing on questions about the big story of the day -- Paul Manafort's indictment -- and instead choosing to plug the hell out of her new book.
Asked about today's indictments during book signing in Chicago, Hillary Clinton says, "I have a great chapter about Russia" in her book. pic.twitter.com/FRYiR9RWbe
@ABCPolitics
Hillary was at a signing session Monday in Chicago for her book, "What Happened" ... and when she was asked about Donald Trump's ex-campaign chairman ... nothing happened. She smiled and went into sales mode.
It's exactly the kinda move we frequently get from Kris Jenner's brood and others in Hollywood -- "You'll have to watch the show." As we reported, Manafort and his protege were indicted as part of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into alleged ties between Trump's campaign and Russia.
As Hillary might put it -- tune in next week!

Netflix on Kevin Spacey 'Deeply Troubled' by Allegations
Netflix has spoken out about the allegations against Kevin Spacey -- a huge star of one of their biggest shows -- saying they're disturbed by the revelations.
The TV streaming company issued a joint statement Monday along with Media Rights Capital, which helps produce the Spacey-led hit "House of Cards," saying both companies were "deeply troubled" by allegations of attempted child molestation levied against him.
The statement goes on to say that execs for both companies were meeting in Baltimore -- presumably where they shoot 'Cards' -- to speak with cast and crew members and ensure they feel safe and supported. Netflix also says Spacey is not on set at the moment.
In other Spacey/Netflix news ... it was announced Monday that "House of Cards" is coming to an end after the upcoming -- and now final -- sixth season ... a decision that was reportedly made before Anthony Rapp publicly accused Spacey.

LFO Singer Needs Chemo ... Huge Tumor Was Cancerous
LFO singer Devin Lima's prognosis has taken another scary turn -- the football-sized tumor doctors removed was malignant.
A rep for the group tells TMZ ... Devin will begin chemotherapy in the next week or two. When doctors removed the tumor -- along with his kidney and adrenal gland -- on Oct. 19, Devin was hopeful the mass was benign, but a biopsy proved otherwise. In fact, the band says he's stage 4.
Devin is home now, but we're told he'll be going back to return to the Florida hospital soon for treatment. As we reported, the tumor was wrapped around his adrenal gland and pushing against all his organs, even his heart.
Devin's bandmate, Brad Fischetti, shared the sobering news with fans.

Peyton Manning Sexual Assault Deposition Video Surfaces
For the first time, video of Peyton Manning's deposition -- in which he denies sexually assaulting a former University of Tennessee trainer -- has gone public.
Peyton sat for the deposition back in 2003 ... after Dr. Jamie Naughright sued him for defamation over a chapter in his autobiography about the 1996 incident.
Naughright had accused Manning of shoving his testicles and anus into her face while she was examining him on a training table at UT.
Manning claims he was simply trying to "moon" a friend -- and in the deposition video, obtained by "Inside Edition," he explains:
"I briefly pulled down my pants to so-called 'moon' him. One second, one and a half seconds. Pulled my pants back up and continued with Jamie's examination of the bottom of my foot."
Naughright says Manning is lying and refused to back down during an interview with "Inside Edition."
Manning's attorney is adamant the NFL legend did nothing wrong.

'Bachelor' Producers Sued by P.A. You Asked If I Ever Had Anal Sex!!! WB Denies Allegations
2:30 PM PT -- Warner Bros. tells us, "We take all allegations of workplace harassment very seriously. These allegations were brought to our attention and were thoroughly investigated earlier this year. Our findings did not support the plaintiff’s characterization of the events claimed to have taken place, which is why we are disappointed by the filing of this lawsuit."
The company that produces the 'Bachelor' franchise, along with several of its producers, has a sexual harassment case on its hands -- a former employee now claims producers repeatedly asked her sexually invasive questions that she says had nothing to do with the show.
Becky Steenhoek is suing Warner Bros. Entertainment and several producers from the show claiming they asked her gratuitous questions, including:
-- How often do you masturbate?
-- Do you own sex toys/dildos?
-- Have you ever had anal sex?
-- Do you enjoy giving hand jobs?
-- Is your vagina shaved? Do you have a landing strip?
-- Has a man ever got your "taco" talking?
Steenhoek says these questions were designed to embarrass her because of her "sexual inexperience and conservative views about sex."
She claims a week after complaining about the comments she was fired.
We reached out to Warner Bros. for comment ... so far, no word back.
