EXCLUSIVE

Shepherd was a no-show in court today, but her estranged husband Lamar Sally was there to argue that their entire divorce should be sealed. The judge did not rule on the case as a whole, but did order both sides to stop talking about their surrogate -- either her identity or location.
As we first reported ... Lamar is concerned a publicity crush at the hospital will endanger the baby.
Nonetheless, he has revealed the due date is July 28.
Zip it, Lamar.
