Gossip / Rumors

Chad Ochocinco's famous fiancee has slammed the brakes on the couple's wedding plans, TMZ has learned ... all because she suspects the NFL star has been messing around behind her back.

Sources tell us ... "Basketball Wives" star Evelyn Lozada recently confronted Ocho after she became suspicious about his behavior ... and she isn't convinced he's been faithful.

The two are set to be married in the summer -- and while Evelyn hasn't "officially" cancelled the wedding yet, we're thinkin' the priest should start making other plans.

Plus, Chad and Evelyn were supposed to begin shooting their new reality show in just three weeks ... we're told that plan is also up in the air.

Maria Shriver sure knows how to ring in the new year -- just days after Arnold Schwarzenegger wore his wedding ring out in public ... his divorce-shy, estranged wife was sporting something on her wedding ring finger, though it's not clear if it's the real deal.

The photo was snapped today in Beverly Hills -- interesting she wore something on that finger just after we posted the pic of Arnold.

Arnold Schwarzenegger rocked his wedding ring out in public during the holidays -- another sign that his marriage to Maria Shriver ain't as dead as it once seemed.

TMZ broke the story ... Maria has been having second thoughts about pulling the plug on the marriage -- despite Arnie knocking up the family maid -- because of her deeply held religious views.

Arnold hadn't been photographed in his wedding band in months, but over the past few days -- Arnold dusted off the ol' ring and reminded the world he's STILL a married man.

Katy Perry and Russell Brand have not decided to end their marriage ... this according to multiple sources directly connected to the couple.

We are told, however, that they are having problems, but our sources say it has nothing to do with reports of a big, blowout argument ... because we're told no such argument ever occurred.

Russell was spotted out in London today ... again without his wedding ring. He wasn't wearing it yesterday either.

As for Katy not wearing her ring, we're told it's no big deal. As one source notes, she doesn't wear the ring when she performs ... and it has nothing to do with Russell or her marriage.

One of our sources says it's clear Katy and Russell are "dealing with something," but divorce court is not the end game ... at least not yet.

Rumors that Katy Perry and Russell Brand are calling off their marriage have just been fueled by explosive new photos ... of Russell in London ... NOT wearing his wedding ring.

The "Get Him to the Greek" star was in the West End earlier today, half a world away from his wife, who has been vacationing in Hawaii ... wearing nothing but bikinis.

The couple spent XMAS 7,000 AAdvantage miles apart. They tied the knot just over a year ago last October.

Paris Hilton was in the middle of a shopping frenzy the day after XMAS, when a nose-y photographer snapped a pic of the interior of her hybrid Yukon SUV ... which was partially covered with a suspicious looking white powder -- but don't jump to conclusions, because it's NOT cocaine.

We contacted Paris, who scoffed at the intimation it was blow. She immediately sent us her own pic of the SUV's interior, which she says clearly shows it's a foundation from her makeup kit.

Boxer Victor Ortiz thinks it's "a cool rumor" -- him dating Kobe Bryant's wife Vanessa -- the only problem is ... it's just not true.

U.S. Olympic skiing champ Lindsey Vonn says she's still not dating Tim Tebow ... but she's definitely open to the idea.

Vonn was out in NYC last night, when she told us she met the Denver Broncos miracle worker at the ESPYs and actually became friends with Tim's brother ... but she insists no relationship has blossomed.

Vonn recently filed for divorce from her husband/manager/coach Thomas Vonn -- and last night, she told us, "I'm single ... I'm totally single."

Jessica Burciaga -- the ridiculously hot chick rumored to be Kobe Bryant's mistress -- says don't believe what you hear ... she is NOT the straw that broke Vanessa Bryant's back.

Former Playboy Playmate Jessica spoke out last night in L.A. -- responding to Internet rumors that she's been Kobe's side piece with two simple words ... "Not I."

In case you see a flurry of reports online that Jon Bon Jovi is dead ... not true.

Bon Jovi's rep says the singer is alive and well and performing at a charity event.

He may be livin' on a prayer, but he's still livin'.

He may be wanted dead or alive, but the latter is where it's at ... at least for now.

He was NOT shot thru the heart.

We'll be here all week.

4:42 PM PT: And if you still don't believe us -- JBJ himself just tweeted the following picture, containing today's date ...

Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett Smith have bounced back from the separation rumors that plagued them earlier this year ... and TMZ has learned it was differing opinions on how to manage their superstar kids that caused the original strife.

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ they are doing "wonderful" now -- but earlier this year, sources tell TMZ there was tension between the two over how best to manage the careers of Jaden and Willow.

We're told each had their own ideas for how things should be handled -- with Will pushing more for full-blown stardom and Jada leaning towards easing them in to things.

But our sources say that bad patch -- which included rumors Jada had an affair with Marc Anthony -- is now past them and things are back to normal.

Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake is adamant he never had a gay relationship with Hulk Hogan ... despite allegations made by Hulk's ex-wife ... and now Brutus tells TMZ he's prepared to SUE.

Mr. Beefcake -- real name Ed Leslie -- tells TMZ ... Linda Hogan was flat out lying when she went on the radio back in June and said the former WWE stars engaged in homoerotic behavior outside the wrestling ring.

Hulk has already filed a defamation lawsuit against Linda -- claiming she also made up allegations that he physically abused her during their marriage.

Beefcake tells us he plans to follow Hulk's lead ... and has already instructed his attorney to draft up the lawsuit, which he claims he will file in the very near future.

Brutus tells TMZ, "I've known [Linda] for almost 40 years ... but when she starts trying to ruin our careers, it just aint fair."

He adds, "Hulk is a tremendous person ... a great man who deserves to be happy."

The speculation is over ... Ice Cube has finally confirmed he's resurrecting the 'Friday' franchise ... telling TMZ the goal is to bring back the entire ORIGINAL cast ... including Chris Tucker.

A rep for Cube Vision Productions tells us ... “Absolutely yes the studio is in the process of getting the entire original cast to do another 'Friday.'"

The statement continues, "[Ice Cube] is very excited about this and has every intention to make it happen.”

Just last month, TMZ spoke with the musclebound behemoth who played DeBo ... who told us both he and Chris Tucker are down to reunite for the 4th installment of the 'Friday' franchise ... but they still have to work out their contracts.

UFC face-smasher Dan Henderson had TWO babes on his arm as he left a Hollywood nightclub Monday ... but one of the chicks MAY have been a rebound for one of the best pitchers in baseball.

Henderson -- who recently beat Shogun Rua in one of the greatest MMA fights ever -- hit Playhouse last night with Detroit Tigers pitcher Brad Penny.

But when they left, Penny went to the car by himself ... and Henderson followed behind with 2 chicks on his arm.

Here's the rub -- Penny is rumored to have called off his engagement to "Dancing with the Stars" pro Karina Smirnoff recently ... so is it possible Dan was helping his famous pal rebound???

Or was Henderson hoping to ride the tricycle by himself last night?

Despite what you may be hearing on Twitter ... rapper Too Short insists ... he's NOT DEAD.

The Internet has been on fire with false reports that the rapper died from a heart attack today -- and several pranksters have already attempted to change the guy's Wiki page to reflect his death.

But T.S. just tweeted, writing, "Stop calling my phone. I'm not dead. Been in the lab working on my 19th album."

And just to make sure, we spoke to the guy on the phone -- and we're pretty sure that settles it ... the guy's alive.
