Paris Hilton's fiance is falling in line, and he's damn happy to do so ... at least when it comes to planning their wedding.

P and Chris Zylka were at LAX Wednesday -- jetting off to some fabulous location, we're sure -- and, for once, we got HIS take on how their big day is gonna go down. It was immediately obvious though ... his viewpoint is pretty much hers.

Chris insists they're taking a 50-50 approach, but then deferred to Paris on just about every detail. In other words ... he's a very smart guy. Meanwhile, she dropped a hint about her bridal party.

Bad news for Chris -- he might not be top dog at his own wedding.

Sam Smith and his boyfriend, Brandon Flynn, put on a smoke show ... literally.

The Grammy singer and "13 Reasons Why" star snuck in a quick cigarette break -- and a kiss -- Wednesday night outside of Gemma restaurant in Soho ... where the couple dined with a few friends.

PDA was definitely calling -- Sam had just returned from Japan. Their silly sides were also on full display ... walking an imaginary runway with different strides.

Ronda Rousey is slamming the door on rumors she'll make her official WWE debut at the Royal Rumble on Jan 28 -- telling TMZ Sports it'll be physically impossible ... 'cause she'll be out of the country!

"I'm actually leaving to Colombia right now to finish shooting 'Mile 22' and won't be back until mid February," Rousey says.

"Mile 22" is an action flick starring Mark Wahlberg and John Malkovich.

But the bigger issue ... Ronda says there is no official contract in place between her and WWE, despite a recent dinner meeting with high-ranking WWE exec Triple H.

Don't rule it out though ... Rousey seemed flattered by some recent smack talk from WWE Raw womens' champ Alexa Bliss.

So, what's Ronda's long-term career plans? She talked about that, too!

Natalie Mendoza says she forgives Harvey Weinstein for his alleged sexual assault on her.

We got the Australian actress Wednesday at LAX and asked if she'd forgiven him for what she claims he did to her during a 2002 script meeting -- allegedly lunging at her and groping her, before she threatened to punch him if he didn't lay off.

Surprisingly, she does -- and her explanation is interesting. Sounds like she thinks society is partially to blame for Harvey's misdeeds, and the only way forward is through forgiveness.

Laura Wasser, one of the most prominent divorce lawyers in the country, is firing up a website today which allows couples who want to end their marriage a way of doing it on their own for a super reasonable cost, with a little help from a lawyer.

The site, itsovereasy.com, guides couples through the process of filling out forms and dealing with issues such as child custody, child and spousal support as well as property division.

The cost is way cheaper than hiring a lawyer ... $750 plus court costs. Add another $750 for a half hour call with a lawyer who can serve as a mediator to explain the process and help resolve conflicts. Lawyers are available for longer mediations for an additional cost.

The site also has YouTube videos to walk people through the process if they're not into reading instructions.

And there's more ... a bunch of contributors give accounts of their divorces and how they navigated them. There are also referrals to co-parenting counselors, financial planners and even personal trainers who focus on life after divorce.

It's interesting ... Wasser reps just about every big celeb who gets divorced, so why the whole do-it-yourself thing? She says lawyers are often beyond the financial reach of couples who end up going through the process without assistance or vital information. Plus the site avoids a big pitfall ... hiring certain divorce lawyers who fuel conflict to rack up fees.

Waka Flocka Flame's days as a poster child for veganism are as done as a rack of baby back ribs on Super Bowl Sunday -- but that doesn't mean he'll be scarfing down a rib eye steak anytime soon.

We got Waka at LAX Wednesday and he explained why he recently bailed on being a strict vegan. He told us he's still down with healthy diet choices -- but hates that vegans are so militaristic, he can't put on a jacket without them losing it.

Flavor Flav's beatdown in the middle of a Las Vegas casino was captured on camera ... and TMZ has the first video of the rap legend taking punch after punch.

The footage starts after the initial punches ... Flav is on the floor and trying like hell to cover up as his attacker unloads on him Tuesday at the South Point Casino.

As we reported, Flav says the guy accused him of dissing his mother ... and suddenly started throwing haymakers. Ironically, the Public Enemy rapper was wearing a Muhammad Ali, Rumble in the Jungle jacket during the fight.

BTW, Bradley Cooper was wearing the exact same jacket on Tuesday, 300 miles away on an L.A. beach. Mind. Blown.

The Vegas video also shows the attacker, Ugandi Howard, getting taken into custody, and seemingly putting up a fight with security guards too.

The only good news for 58-year-old Flav -- no clock damage. He wasn't wearing one of his famous timepieces.

A woman wants more than $5 million from Russell Simmons for allegedly sexually assaulting her.

Jennifer Jarosik claims in a new lawsuit Simmons invited her to his house in 2016 and propositioned her for sex, which she refused. She says Simmons became aggressive, pushed her onto his bed and as she fought back, he allegedly knocked her off the bed, hit her in the head and pounced on her.

She says she was in "shock and fear" and he proceeded to rape her.

Jarosik says she met Simmons in 2006 and they became friends, sharing a passion for meditation, yoga and a vegan diet.

Jarosik says she was rendered "sick, sore, lame, disabled and disordered, both internally and externally and suffered from extreme emotional distress."

The lawsuit, filed by Perry Wander, seeks $5 mil in punitive damages and unspecified actual damages.

More than a dozen women have accused Simmons of various forms of sexual misconduct, including rape.

Dana White isn't wasting time ... telling TMZ Sports he's calling up Nate Diaz TONIGHT to make him an offer to return to the octagon.

White joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs tonight on FS1) -- and we asked about Nate's Instagram post where he called himself "The Real Champ" and vowed to return to fighting in "May or June."

"I'll tell ya what," White said ... "I’ll call him today and make him an offer."

"I will make Nate Diaz an offer to fight today."

White says he's not sure who he'd match Diaz up against -- "I gotta look at the rankings and see where everybody is."

What about a 3rd fight with Conor McGregor? Dana isn't ruling it out ... but says that fight ain't the priority for Conor.

"I think people would rather see Conor come back and either fight Tony [Ferguson] or Khabib [Nurmagomedov] -- whoever wins -- and the Nate Diaz fight isn’t going anywhere. We can do that thing any time."

What about Nate vs. Tyron Woodley? Dana says he has other plans for the welterweight champ.

Kourtney Kardashian's got a contest for you-- try to find the chips and guac in this photo! We'll give you some time.

Kourt's down in Punta de Mita, Mexico vacationing with her bf, Younes Bendjima ... who we applaud for most likely snapping this shot. The mother of 3 is rocking her best barely-there bikini. It is hump day, after all.

She captioned it, "Guac is extra." We guarantee Younes will pay.

Not to start an international incident, but ... who'd ya rather: Mexico Kourtney or France Kourtney?

Your move, Kim!

She was a long shot to make it this far, but Fiona the hippo turned 1 year old Wednesday ... and the Cincinnati Zoo is having a phat fat celebration!

You'll recall, Fiona was born 6 weeks premature and weighed a mere 29 pounds -- a record for any hippo born in captivity. The good news is she's a very healthy 600 pounds one year later.

Naturally, Fi got a cake for her bday. No ice cream cake though ... strictly fruits and veggies, but she's a herbivore so it's cool. She's so damn cute, we'd almost forget the whole thing about hippos being seriously deadly animals. Almost.

Drew Carey ... COME ON DOWN!!! To the ground.

"The Price is Right" host might be nursing sore ribs after falling victim to a massive fail during Wednesday's show. A woman named Sona won the prelim round, and went HAM on Drew.

Luckily for the host, a light fixture kept him from toppling completely off the stage after the wild bear hug -- or this vid would be a lot less funny. Carey popped up like a true pro.

6:00 PM PT -- A rep for Questlove tells us he denies the "ridiculous allegations" in this suit, adding ... "Racism is REAL and exists throughout the world and for these gentlemen to claim victim is not only disrespectful to Questlove and his band mates, but to all that truly endure racism on a daily basis."

3:36 PM PT -- A rep for NBC tells us, "NBC is committed to providing a work environment in which all individuals are treated with respect and dignity. We have strong policies in place that protect against discrimination in any form. The decision about these plaintiffs was the company's alone."

Questlove demanded NBC fire two white camera guys on the 'Tonight Show' over a racist group text they never asked to be a part of ... this according to a new lawsuit.

Camera operators Kurt Decker and Michael Cimino just filed suit against the TV network and the leader of The Roots after what they claim was misappropriated blame and racial retaliation from Questlove after each of them received a racist text he caught wind of.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, a stagehand sent Decker, Cimino and Roots member Mark Kelley -- who's black -- a text during a taping of the 'Tonight Show' last year, which they say they never asked for or responded to. They say they tried explaining this to NBC execs in an attempt to distance themselves from the vile text, which they feared would be associated with them.

Questlove got wind of this and demanded that NBC fire the camera operators, which NBC did.

Countess Luann de Lesseps has officially been hit with 3 charges for her alleged drunken holiday attack on a cop ... TMZ has learned.

The 'Real Housewives of NYC' star has been charged with a felony count of resisting an officer with violence, along with a trespassing and disorderly intoxication charge -- both misdemeanors ... according to new docs. She faces up to 5 years in prison for the felony charge.

The good news for Luann -- 2 additional felony counts of corruption by threat were not filed against her.

As we reported ... Lesseps was originally looking at 4 felony counts after being busted in Palm Beach, Florida around Christmas Eve. She checked into rehab a few days after the drunken arrest.
