Cardi B & Offset Wedding Officiant Didn't Sign NDA ... Just Kept It All Secret
The minister who officiated Cardi B and Offset's wedding says the rappers never made her sign a non-disclosure agreement to keep it all hush hush ... she's just really good at keeping a secret.
Minister Melinda Guess tells us she'd never met Cardi or Offset prior to their September day ... and was totally caught off guard when their team called and asked if she'd do the honor.
Guess tells us, all Cardi and Offset wished for was privacy, and Guess happily obliged. TMZ broke the story ... Cardi and Offset have now been married for 9 months. The nuptials went down after Offset woke up one September morning and straight-up told Cardi to marry him.
Guess -- who owns Officiant ATL -- tells us her standard rate for home ceremonies runs between $500 and $1,000.
As for the wedding day attire ... Guess says they both wore pants and a t-shirt. Nothing fancy. They exchanged traditional vows, though nothing was personalized.
Mazel!

Terry Crews Here's Why I Didn't Get Violent ... During My Sexual Assault
Terry Crews says he had to fight every instinct to not get physical after a WME talent agent allegedly groped his genitals in 2016 -- and he got very emotional discussing it on Capitol Hill.
The "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" star testified about sexual assault Tuesday in front of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, giving insight into his own experience.
My wife n I were at a Hollywood function last year n a high level Hollywood executive came over 2 me and groped my privates. (2/cont.)
@terrycrews
When CA Senator Dianne Feinstein asked Crews why he didn't physically respond to Adam Venit after the agent allegedly touched his privates at a party, he was blunt -- saying it's about consequences black men in America face every day if they resort to violence.
TMZ broke the story ... the L.A. City Attorney's Office declined to prosecute Venit because Crews' allegation had fallen outside of the statute of limitations.

Damon Dash is going after Lee Daniels once again, this time for screwing him out of a movie producer credit and some big time cash ... according to a new suit.
The Roc-A-Fella mogul claims Daniels promised to try to get him on as an EP for a Richard Pryor biopic ... along with 5 percent on Daniels' backend profits.
According to the docs, Daniels bailed on the project ... and didn't deliver on his promises to Dame.
Dash is suing for $5 million.
It's interesting, Dash was seen confronting Daniels at a Diana Ross show at the Hollywood Bowl last week, informing him he's about to hit him with another lawsuit if he doesn't get paid soon. Daniels seemed to agree he was in the wrong.
As we reported, Dash sued Daniels in 2014 over an alleged loan that he never got back ... and this new suit stems from a settlement agreement the 2 struck in 2015.

03 Greedo Proposes to Girlfriend Before 20-Year Prison Stint
Rapper 03 Greedo ain't waiting 20 years to propose to his longtime girlfriend -- he popped the question at his concert Monday night ... right before starting a 20-year prison sentence.
Greedo gave his final performance, for now, to a packed house at L.A.'s Belasco Theater and got down on bended knee while performing his hit, "If I." Great moment -- his gf, Kei Bradley, said "yes," and the crowd had a pretty epic reaction.
Travis Barker, DJ Carisma and Asian Doll were all there supporting Greedo at the event held by Mike Rebel and Praying Man Productions. The feel-good vibes almost made you forget Greedo starts his prison bid in less than 48 hours.
It's really the ultimate bittersweet moment -- he pled guilty to possession of more than 400 grams of methamphetamine and unlawful possession of a firearm this year. Greedo plans to continue releasing music from the slammer.
Side note: Kei seems pretty ride or die. Mazel to the happy couple!

Olivia Culpo and Danny Amendola are vacationing in Spain together ... and when we say the views are spectacular, we ain't talkin' the Torre de Savinar.
The on-again, off-again couple are getting some quality time on the Spanish islands this week ... but Olivia ditched the dudes for an all-girl yacht trip with friends.
So, what are they up to? Taking lots of photos of each other in sexy poses ... and for good reason, they're all insanely hot models.
As for Amendola, the two were spotted at dinner together the other night -- not the greatest body language -- but couply enough.
At least his tan looks great!
Remember, the two broke up back in March after dating for 2 years -- but they started hanging out again at a friend's wedding earlier this month ... and now, boom -- European vacation.
Totally back together, right?

The famed "Pawn Stars" shop is already honoring its TV patriarch, Richard Harrison, a day after his death ... and fans can pay their respects in a number of ways.
Sources close to the family of Richard, best known as "Old Man," tell TMZ ... a makeshift memorial was set up in the corner of the Gold & Silver shop in Las Vegas in remembrance of their late founder. As we reported, "Old Man" died Monday ... and his memorial is already getting tons of love.

As for donations ... the Harrison family wants any monies sent to the Epilepsy Foundation ... an affliction his son Rick dealt with as a child.
We're told the Gold & Silver shop will remain open this week except perhaps for a couple hours, so employees can attend a private service. A public service is forthcoming as well.

Meek Mill No New Trial!!! Judge Brinkley Slams Door Again
7:43 AM PT -- Meek's attorney, Joe Tacopina, tells TMZ, "Judge Brinkley made clear during the hearing on June 18th that she had already decided the matter. We continue to believe that this miscarriage of justice will be corrected upon further review, and that the public’s confidence in the impartiality of the judicial system in Pennsylvania will be restored."
Meek Mill will NOT get a new trial -- Judge Genece Brinkley shut down his motion, despite prosecutors acknowledging he should get one.
Brinkley made her stunning ruling Monday, saying, "After an in-depth review of the record, court history, notes of testimony, and evidence submitted at the evidentiary hearing, this court hereby denies defendant's petition for PCRA relief as defendant failed to meet his burden of proof."
It's shocking because even the D.A. repeatedly stated Meek deserved a new trial due to the fact his arresting officer -- the sole witness in Meek's 2008 trial -- is at the center of a massive Philadelphia police corruption scandal.
In her ruling, the judge basically dismisses the notion the cop who arrested Meek, Officer Graham, is really dirty because the fellow officer who fingered him isn't credible. In other words, Graham can't be dirty because another dirty cop said he is. She also dismisses the fact Graham failed a polygraph test about pocketing money.
Judge Brinkley added ... even IF you believe Graham was a dirty cop, she believes it would NOT have changed the jury's guilty verdict in 2008.
You'll recall ... the PA Supreme Court released Meek on bail back in April, from his 2-4 year prison sentence, pending the hearing for a new trial.
If nothing else, Brinkley's been consistent, but it's a no-brainer -- Meek's team will appeal this latest ruling.

Kim & Kanye Old Bel-Air Mansion for Sale Again Take a Tour of the Pad!!!
Kim Kardashian West and Kanye's old Bel-Air pad -- the one they transformed and sold for nearly $18 mil -- is back on the market ... and we've obtained never-before-seen pics in and around the palace.
TMZ broke the story, Kimye sold the 10,000 square foot home for $17.8 million back in November. It was scooped up by Ukranian billionaire Marina Acton, who also struck a friendship with Kim in the process.
NOVEMBER 2017
The crib's full of marble floors, gold fixtures and a complete chef's kitchen. Doesn't look like Marina did much with the walls Kim and Kanye left her ... just a lot of white. And we're told asking price is a totally reasonable -- relatively speaking -- $18 million. The Altman brothers at Douglas Elliman Real Estate Co. will rep the sale.
Acton tells us she's still in love with the home, but is expecting a baby in a few months, so she needs more space ... 10,000 sq. feet more!
Marina -- who says she's having a girl -- tells us her parents plan to join her when she moves, and a new place in Miami or West Palm Beach with a guest house would be ideal.
As for a budget on her new place? Marina said what you'd expect from someone flipping 8-figure mansions ... "The sky is the limit."

Claudia Jordan on Sarah Sanders Red Hen Did Her a Favor ... She Could Miss a Meal
Claudia Jordan just took the Red Hen controversy with Sarah Huckabee Sanders to a new level ... shaming the woman over her weight as justification for her getting booted.
We got the ex-'RHOA' star arriving at Catch in WeHo Monday night, where we asked for her take on Trump's Press Secretary getting kicked out of the Virginia restaurant because she's the White House mouthpiece. Claudia gives a pretty kosher response ... at first.
Basically, she feels like the restaurant had every right to ask Sanders to leave, seeing how they can serve who they'd like. Sounds reasonable ... until she takes a cheap shot at the Press Sec. over her figure, that is.

Jeremy Meeks It's All Gucci, Baby ... Can't Ya Friggin' Tell?!
Asking Jeremy Meeks "What's Gucci?" will probably trigger a hard side-eye.
The "Hot Felon" dripped in Gucci from head to toe as he arrived Monday in L.A. He'd flown in from the UK, where he lives with his new baby mama, Chloe Green, and soon with his 9-year-old son, Jeremy Jr.
TMZ broke the story ... Jeremy was granted primary physical custody of Jeremy Jr., who will be living with his dad starting this summer. Additionally, Meeks paid his ex 6 figures as part of the terms of the divorce settlement, which is now officially final. Reason to celebrate for sure ... hence the getup.
Jeremy's tiger-print backpack retails for around $1,600. The shoes go for around $650 and the track jacket/pants will set ya back over $3,300.
He's got his kid and he's rocking roughly a $5,500 outfit. See, it's all Gucci.

Sen. Rand Paul Sues Neighbor Who Assaulted Him
Sen. Rand Paul is suing the neighbor who pummeled him outside his own home.
The Kentucky Senator is suing Rene Boucher for physical pain and mental suffering after Boucher tackled him from behind during a heated argument back in November 2017. Cops later determined Boucher did it on purpose and arrested him. He was charged with one count of fourth-degree assault.
In docs, obtained by TMZ, Paul calls Boucher's actions cruel, malicious, willful, wanton with total disregard for his rights, life and liberties. The fight stemmed from Paul stacking yard debris near a shared property line. According to the docs, Boucher pled guilty to felony charges and got 30 days in jail with a $10k fine.
As we reported, Paul suffered 5 broken ribs from the attack. He's suing for compensatory and punitive damages, and wants the court to keep Boucher away from him.

Thomas Markle Getting Bumped by Trump to Meet QE2 ... So NOT Cool!!!
Thomas Markle thinks the Royal Family is putting him in the "penalty box" after his "Good Morning Britain" interview a week ago, especially since President Trump is getting to meet Her Majesty before him.
Thomas tells TMZ, he hasn't spoken with anyone from the palace since last week's interview. Not even his daughter, Meghan ... who, of course, has been busy with royal stuff.
Markle thinks he's getting the cold shoulder, and tells TMZ ... “If the Queen is willing to meet our arrogant, ignorant, and insensitive president she has no excuse not to meet me, I’m nowhere near as bad.” Trump's scheduled to meet Elizabeth in the U.K. next month.
Despite the perceived diss ... Thomas says he still has every intention of crossing the pond to see Meghan, and finally meet Harry. As for QE2 ... fingers crossed!

James Harden Parties with Meek Mill ... After MVP Win
James Harden celebrated like a boss after winning league MVP at the NBA awards in L.A. on Monday -- hanging out with Meek Mill ... and TMZ Sports has the video.
The Houston Rockets star hit up Avenue nightclub where everyone wanted to rub elbows with HIM -- including Meek.
Of course, the catch is that Meek is still on probation stemming from his old drugs and guns case (pending a decision about getting a new trial) and can't travel outside of Pennsylvania without alerting his probation officer.
Under the terms of his probation, Meek IS allowed to leave the state for work purposes -- and, since he performed at the BET Awards in L.A. on Sunday night, we're guessing it was easy approval process.
Meek is a huge Philadelphia 76ers fan -- especially since he's tight with the owner who essentially sprung him from prison -- but there's no harm in hanging with the MVP, right?

Daniel Tosh I Got Secretly Hitched Too!!!
Move over, Cardi B and Offset ... keeping your marriage under wraps for 9 months is amateur hour compared to what Daniel Tosh pulled off more than 2 years ago!
Sources close to the situation tell TMZ ... the "Tosh.0" star and Carly Hallam tied the knot on April 15, 2016 at an incredibly private ceremony in Malibu.
31-year-old Carly is a writer on Tosh's show. It's unclear if that's where the couple first met, but it would make sense since Carly started working there back in 2010. She also writes for "Brooklyn Nine-Nine."
We've reached out to Daniel's reps, and so far no word back -- but helluva job keeping the marriage on the DL! Don't bother looking for them on IG, btw. Unlike most Hollywood, they're not the sappy romantic post types.
As we first reported ... Cardi B and Offset were secretly married back in September 2017.
