Lea Michele This Rock Make Me Look Engaged?
Lea Michele knows NOTHING sweetens up your cup of coffee like a massive diamond ring on the hand that's holding it.
The "Glee" grad was strolling around NYC Tuesday with her new treasure -- as in her fiance, Zandy Reich ... the guy who gave her the OTHER treasure.
We know you're wondering, so ... it's a 4-carat elongated radiant cut diamond. Lea and Zandy announced their engagement last weekend. They've been dating since last summer, when Zandy managed to bust out of the friendzone ... they were pals before the hookup.
The groom-to-be is president of the clothing company AYR -- and his bride-to-be is obviously very proud ... of his taste in jewelry.
We're sure she's proud of Zandy, too. He just doesn't fit as easily on her finger.

Prince Harry Old Habits Die Hard ... But Meghan's Even Harder on Him!
Prince Harry is a changed man inside and out thanks to his fiancee, Meghan Markle -- going from full-fledged bachelor life to living on a leash ... lovingly, of course.
We spoke with royal expert Katie Nicholl -- who's familiar with Harry's inner circle -- and she tells us Harry has kicked a lot of his old bad habits since getting with Meghan. We're not just talking food and lifestyle here -- though, that's part of it. It's more big picture.
Nicholl says Harry, for instance, will pass on tequila shots at a wedding now -- and even make excuses to call it an early night. He's also doing yoga with Meghan too, and eats clean with her. In other words ... Meghan's L.A. lifestyle is alive and kicking in London.
As Katie puts it ... Meghan has certainly "tamed" Harry. Nicholl spills even more tea in her new book, "Harry: Life, Loss, and Love."

Ronnie from 'Jersey Shore' Video Shows Explosive Fight with Baby Mama
Ronnie from "Jersey Shore" allegedly got into a physical confrontation with his baby mama ... and it was caught on video.
Ronnie's baby mama, Jen Harley, took to Instagram Live on Monday and posted this video showing Ronnie in a heated argument with Jen in the upstairs part of someone's house. A second woman is seen downstairs trying to get Ron to chill out before all hell breaks loose.
The video shows Ron and Jen, who is holding the phone, getting into a scuffle ... with Ron telling her to get off of him. The video cuts out for a few seconds as a struggle ensues. The fight stems from a series of Instagram story posts by Ron over the weekend ... blasting Jen of being a "natural born HOE." Our friends at TooFab meticulously broke it all down.
Seems like the social media war reached a tipping point after Jen's video went live -- Ronnie and Jen reportedly broke up following the physical confrontation.

Gigi Hadid & Zayn Malik Back On and Making Out in Public!!!
Zayn Malik's got a shaved and tatted skull -- but even that's upstaged by the fact he's apparently back with Gigi Hadid and doing some serious PDA.
The exes were all over each other Sunday in NYC. The scene, combined with Zayn's new look, would normally draw attention ... but it especially does now, because they announced their split last month.
It kinda came outta nowhere -- after 2 years together -- it's not surprising they decided to rekindle things, and it looks like they're picking up right where they left off.
When they broke up, Gigi did say, "As for the future, whatever's meant to be will always be."
Looks like their lips have a few things to say about that.

Brody Jenner Fiancee's Off to Colombia For Private Island Bachelorette Bash
Brody Jenner's fiancee is gonna need a bigger boat if she wants male strippers at her bachelorette party, but that's the price ya pay for throwing the event on your own private island!
Our sources say Brody and Kaitlynn Carter, a lifestyle blogger, are getting married in June -- and Kaitlynn's been on a tiny islet off Colombia since Friday celebrating with her closest pals. The ladies are roughing it ... in this colorful 4-bedroom home surrounded by turquoise water.
The home is called Isla Rosa -- for obvious reasons -- and comes with its own cook, butler and a private beach. All that for just $1,000 per night on weekdays and $1,200 on weekends! Quite a deal.
It's in the Rosario Islands about 18 miles off the coast of Cartagena, and so far it looks super chill. Think less penis straws and more yoga, dance classes, massages and facials.
Chill, Brody -- no strippers. Not yet. That we've seen, anyway.

The couple has already laid out plans to make more room for their soon-to-be blended fam ... according to L.A. City docs. The 2 got a permit in January for Derek's Tarzana pad to remodel 2 bedrooms, and build an additional bathroom on the second floor.
Fisher's home is already 5,110 sq. ft with 5 beds and 5 baths, but when you take into account he's got 4 kids and Govan has 2 ... the more space (and bathrooms) the merrier.
Estimated cost -- $10k.
We broke the story ... Derek popped the question to Gloria earlier this month surrounded by their kids. Obviously, she said yes. Her ex and father of her sons, Matt Barnes, even weighed in on the engagement ... saying he was happy for everyone.

Derek Fisher The $1 Million Engagement Ring!! (Worth the Wait, Gloria?)
Derek Fisher's making sure Gloria Govan always looks like a million bucks even in sweatpants because that's about how much her knuckle-sized engagement ring's worth ... TMZ has learned.
We're told the ex-NBA star designed the 7.5 carat diamond ring, which he scooped up from L.A.-based jeweler Bony Levy. A rock that size normally goes for just north of $1 mil ... according to our fancy jewelry sources.
We don't know exactly how much D-Fish dropped, 'cause y'know celebs usually get a deal.
The engagement had been a long time coming. The couple had been dating since 2015 until Derek finally popped the question earlier this month at their L.A.-area home.
There was drama since Gloria was previously married to Derek's ex-Lakers teammate, Matt Barnes, but Barnes has since given the couple his blessing.

Cardi B Fired Ex-Manager For Allegedly Pocketing a Fortune ...
Cardi B thinks she had every right to drop her ex-manager because she says he was pilfering boatloads of her cash behind her back.
Sources tell us Cardi first confronted her manager, Shaft, on Super Bowl weekend, claiming he essentially cooked the books to make it appear Cardi was pulling in less money that she was actually making, and he was keeping the difference.
Our Cardi sources put it this way ... if Cardi got a gig that paid $100,000, Shaft would tell her she was making $50k and allegedly pocket the balance.
What's more ... Cardi's fiance, Offset, went ballistic when he learned she was paying Shaft a 20% manager's fee ... way more than he says is the norm. Offset pushed her hard to give Shaft the boot, which she did.
TMZ broke the story, Shaft is suing Cardi for $10 million for breach of contract, claiming she had an obligation to keep him on, especially since he was the driving force behind her meteoric rise.
Our Shaft sources say he acknowledges 20% is a high management fee, but he used a lot of the money to pay writers and producers who engineered her music. He thinks Offset was on a mission to sack him just so he could control her and her career.
We've reached out to Cardi and Offset's team for comment ... so far, no word back.

This is where we tell ya ... SPOILER ALERT, SPOILER ALERT!!!!
Yes, you've seen the pic, but if you don't wanna know what happened with the lucky guy, look away now.

The show won't air 'til later this year, and ABC hasn't officially announced all the contestants, yet, so ... clearly, Garrett is one to watch.

Patton Oswalt Late Wife's Book Helps Nab 'Golden State Killer' Suspect
Patton Oswalt can do a small victory dance in his late wife's honor because her posthumously released crime book might've led to the arrest of an alleged serial killer and rapist ... known as the Golden State Killer.
Cops in the Sacramento area arrested 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo early Wednesday morning, and booked him for 2 murders they believe are linked to a string of unsolved killings, rapes and home burglaries in California in the '70s and '80s.
Michelle McNamara, Patton's late wife, referred to DeAngelo as the main suspect in the case in her book, "I'll Be Gone in the Dark." Patton helped finish the book with Michelle's co-author after she died in 2016. As Patton put it after hearing about the arrest, "You got him, Michelle."
Police haven't confirmed yet, but people who cover the case think Michelle's book started a new push to make an arrest in the cold case.
If they’ve really caught the #GoldenStateKiller I hope I get to visit him. Not to gloat or gawk — to ask him the questions that @TrueCrimeDiary wanted answered in her “Letter To An Old Man” at the end of #IllBeGoneInTheDark. pic.twitter.com/32EHSzBct5
