Chad Ochocinco & Evelyn Lozada Wedding Is Back On!
Chad Ochocinco has saved his relationship with Evelyn Lozada the old fashioned way ... with a lot of groveling ... and the wedding is back on, this according to sources close to the couple.

Our sources say Evelyn agreed and they will seek help to work out their trust issues.
Through a rep, Evelyn tells TMZ, "The strain from both our busy schedules started to take a serious toll on our relationship. Yet after spending some much needed quality time together, Chad and I are in a good space."

Selena Gomez FINALLY Gets Protection from Delusional Stalker
Selena Gomez has FINALLY snagged long-term protection from a delusional man who says he's spoken with God about killing the actress.
Gomez got a 3-year restraining order against Thomas Brodnicki this AM ... after a judge agreed Brodnicki posed a serious danger to her safety.
The Disney star was NOT present in the L.A. Courtroom when the order was handed down ... nor was Brodnicki.
As we previously reported, the judge had previously refused to enter the long-term order because Brodnicki had not been present to tell his side of the story. But this time, Selena's lawyer submitted a declaration from Brodnicki himself in which he admitted "a restraining order should be issued against me to prevent me from trying to contact Selena."
He added, "I know it is the only thing that will make me stay away from Selena."
Ask, and ye shall receive.

'Basketball Wives' Star Sued for Helping Blow NBA Star's Fortune
Evelyn Lozada -- one of the stars of "Basketball Wives" who was once engaged to former NBA All-Star Antoine Walker -- is being sued for allegedly receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars illegally.
The story is shocking. Walker raked in a whopping $110 million during his NBA career, in addition to untold millions in endorsements and other deals ... and he blew ALL OF IT and a lot more.
Walker filed for bankruptcy last year, and now the bankruptcy trustee smells a rat. It seems Walker gave Lozada $560,000 when he already knew he was going belly up. The trustee has sued Lozada, claiming the transfer was fraudulent -- an attempt to hide money from legitimate creditors.
The trustee says Lozada used the money to start a Miami shoe store called Dulce, and now the trustee wants the $560k back.
We're told Lozada and Walker insist there was no funny business. He gave her the money to help pay her bills. Sources say Lozada funded Dulce NOT with the $560k, but by selling her engagement ring. And, our sources say, Lozada had no idea Walker was so deep in debt.
