Published | Updated

Soon-to-be-hitched NBA player Dorell Wright has learned the most crucial lesson of matrimony -- picking his battles ... telling TMZ Sports he would've walked down the aisle in Jordans, but he got overruled.

The Portland Trailblazer was out at LAX picking up guests for his upcoming nuptials when we asked if he'd ever say his I dos in a pair of high priced sneakers -- 'cause it's kinda becoming a thing in the world of wedding planners

Judging by Wright's response he was all for swagging it up, but there was one problem -- his super "fashion forward" wedding guests were totally against it.

Laverne Cox V. Stiviano's Visor Is the New Black!

Published | Updated

The trend we hoped would never catch on apparently has, because Sunday afternoon at LAX ... "Orange Is the New Black" star Laverne Cox was seen sporting the infamous V. Stiviano visor.

The Emmy-nominated actress fully channeled Donald Sterling's side piece as she made her way out of the airport and to her waiting car. She kept the visor down and remained silent the entire time, but trust us ... it's her.

It could have been worse -- at least she didn't rant about becoming president or how black people "do stupid s*** like buy rims."

Jimmy Choo Founder Sues Interior Designer Your Work isn't Fit For a Frat House!

Published | Updated

The woman who co-founded Jimmy Choo just scored a legal victory against her famous interior designer, claiming he charged her around $2 MILLION for work that "would not be acceptable in a college frat house."

Tamara Mellon's designer lawsuit against Martyn Lawrence Bullard -- who appeared on Bravo's "Million Dollar Decorators" -- will NOT be dismissed ... so ruled an L.A. judge on Wednesday.

Mellon claims Bullard is a media whore who flaunts his A-list clientele -- including Christina Aguilera, Cher, Aaron Sorkin and Eva Mendes -- and then grossly overcharges and delivers a shoddy product.

Mellon hired Bullard to decorate her swanky NYC apartment and her Hamptons home. She says when he was done, bookshelves were falling apart, a wall speaker was painted over, wallpaper was peeling off walls, the chandelier was dangling like a death trap, and on and on.

To make matters worse, she claims he was grossly over budget for the Hamptons house and when she complained he said, "I cannot possibly work on a limited budget."

Mellon says in her lawsuit -- filed by Eric George -- Bullard had the audacity to charge $35,000 for 8 chairs that he bought from a mall chain store.

And get this ... she says he misjudged the size of a piece of marble he ordered for her NYC apartment, so it had to be lifted by crane. She says he not only charged her to foot the bill for the crane fee, he added a 67% fee for himself.

They appeared together -- huggy huggy and kissy kissy -- back in 2011 on Bullard's Bravo show, "Million Dollar Decorators."

Kanye West Community Service at Fashion School

Published | Updated

Kanye West won't be picking up trash on the side of the road any time soon ... because we've learned he's kicking off his community service in fashionable form -- teaching at a fashion school.

Yeezy hit up the L.A. Trade Technical College Monday in his paparazzi beatdown criminal case to speak with students about his personal experiences in the fashion biz ... and hopefully about leather jogging pants as well.

We're told this is Kanye's 3rd visit to LATTC in the last 6 weeks (see pic above) ... which specializes in designing apparel. Today's lesson was all about designers and it lasted 3 hours.

In case you don't remember -- Kanye cut a plea deal back in March -- avoiding jail by agreeing to 24 months informal probation and 250 hours community service.

We're told Kanye has been chipping away at his hours by speaking at multiple colleges.

Still -- not a bad way to knock out community service ... and avoid wearing that unflattering orange vest ... it's so last season.

The judge has yet to decide how much cash Snooks will get -- but the smell is all hers.

Brad Pitt Attacker Ignore My Maracas ... Community Service Is No Joke!

Published | Updated

The guy who's doing time for attacking Brad Pitt claims to be taking his sentence very seriously -- despite the fact he was spotted shaking maracas in the middle of his punishment.

We spotted Vitalii Sediuk leaving an L.A. grocery store and asked him about the video (below) of him joining a drum circle the other day ... while he was supposed to be doing his 20 hours of community service for the the red carpet incident.

Believe it or not ... Vitalii has an explanation that makes sense, and assures us he's serious about the "experience" of picking up trash and cleaning public toilets.

As for Brad Pitt's face being on his chest -- there's no good excuse for that.

Halle Berry Ain't Got No Time For My Own Watch Deposition

Published | Updated

Halle Berry had time to call her lawyer, and time to file a lawsuit -- but she is fresh outta time to sit down for a deposition in HER case against a watch company ... because her vacay is calling!

According to docs filed in the case, ToyWatch -- which Berry is suing for selling watches with her name on them without permission -- claims Halle is blowing off its request to take her depo.

The watch company claims Berry first told them she would do it in May, but then backed out ... citing her busy work schedule, and a fabulous vacation she'd planned.

Halle's travel agent and lawyer need to get on the same calendar -- remember, she filed this $2 million suit. Halle is agreeing to sit for the depo in July, but ToyWatch says that's cutting it too close to the start of trial ... and would put its lawyers at a disadvantage.

FYI -- the location of Halle's fabulous getaway is not revealed in the docs, but go ahead and assume it's better than wherever you're going this summer.
