Hook Ups

With reports that Nick and Mariah are engaged, Mimi has been sportin' a rock (left) that looks pretty similar to his ex-fiancee Selita Ebanks' ring (right). It's like that?!

If it is the same ring, expect there to be another emancipation of Mimi!

Not what you think, but awesome nonetheless: Lindsay Lohan is recording tracks for her new album with none other than Snoop Dogg – and she's going to be on Motown Records? Does Mary Wilson know about this?

Fox News reports that Lindz has in fact dropped a song for the new disc with his Snoopness, and "insiders" say it sounds "amazing." Timbaland and Pharrell are also helping to produce tracks for the album, which is apparently going to be released on Motown Records, because Lohan definitely fits the race bill there.

Lil' sis Ali is also already in the studio – the one at the age-appropriate Palms Hotel in Vegas.

What in the name of Xenu is going on here? Cher's decided to rip the sheets off a romance that probably would've been best left covered: A fling with Tom Cruise. Shudder.

The diva tells Oprah, according to Vegas Confidential, on an upcoming show that she and Cruise had a "long date" when he was 23 and she was 39, and that she "lived in his apartment" in New York. Cher even says that Tom was "a shy boy" when they hooked up.

"He was so wonderful ... And he was so, like, different," says Cher.

Karina Smirnoff says that she and Mario Lopez might be going through "ups and downs" but that they are "totally fine."

She's not moving out, she tells Us, but oddly she tells the mag that they would be the first to know if she did. (Really? Before Mario? Interesting.) And if this isn't a violins-backed, passionate proclamation of love, we don't know what is: "[Mario] is a great guy, and I support him 100 percent, I know he supports me."

Who said romance was dead?

According to the Town Clerk, the license arrived in the mail, and was fully executed and solemnized on April 4. The person that actually performed the ceremony sent in the license, not BeJay.

Because it was received later than five days after the wedding, the officiant could be charged with a misdemeanor. The clerk says the person will probably skate.

Eli Manning and new wife Abby McGrew enjoyed their first few days of fiery, wedded bliss together on Monday -- he was reading a book about golf, she was reading one on Darfur.

How romantic.

Dave Navarro has made out with women, men and even Tommy Lee, but the gender and species of his latest suck fest is unclear.

While backstage at his Miami concert, the 40-year-old tatted up muscled musician swapped spit with a "dancer" of unknown origin.

TMZ finally has a good question for Dave: What were you kissing?!

Although they broke up in 2007, rumors have been swirling recently that the former lovers were back on.

Brody left Il Sole with some platinum blonde arm candy -- she's hot, and definitely a step up from the last girls who fawned all over him.

On a pre-taped episode of "Chelsea Lately" that aired last night, Brandy's lil' bro was grilled like a cheeseburger about his "relationship" with Ms. Whitney. He claimed they are just friends. M'kay.

Ray J's new song "Boyfriend" is about sleeping with a married woman -- which is rumored to be based on his relationship with Whit in 2007. Sang it!

Mum-to-be Ashlee Simpson and her littlest groom Pete Wentz enjoyed a tender, Heidi & Spencer-esque staged moment in NYC on Wednesday -- to show off her giant diamond. Baby's first engagement ring!

Looks like the lip-synching phenom can finally call herself a rock star!

E.T. phone for help!

TMZ has learned that the Penns, who initially filed last December, have filed paperwork to dismiss their divorce.

They had a not-so-subtle night out, causing a major scene with fans, cops and bodyguards when leaving a NY tattoo parlor -- and were spotted hitting a bar together after that. Seriously guys, give it up already.

Tongues are wagging all over that Jay-Z and Beyonce are getting married RIGHT NOW -- check out all the camera crews! Things don't add up for us though -- we say don't believe the hype! On the other hand, flower arrangements were delivered this morning. Hmm, maybe it's for someone else's wedding...(check out those wedding guests!)

UPDATE 5:28 PM ET: There's a report Beyonce's mom just got in a limo, possibly on the way to the apartment.

UPDATE 5:39 PM ET: Here's a pic of Tina Knowles taken just minutes ago.

UPDATE 5:47 PM ET: Tina -- in all her casual glory -- just arrived at the building. And we just spoke with another resident of the building, who tells us they were aware of a "party" tonight on the roof, but wouldn't say much more than that.

UPDATE 6:08 PM ET: TMZ just spotted Beyonce's father Matthew Knowles, wearing slacks and a suit jacket and wheeling a rolly bag, walking into the Bloomberg building in Midtown.

UPDATE 6:21 PM ET: Now we're told Jay-Z's mom arrived with Beyonce's mother in the same ride. Interesting.

UPDATE: 6:23 PM ET: Jay-Z's Maybach (insanely expensive) is en route. It left from Jigga's other apartment in Midtown. Don't know who's in it.

UPDATE: 6:27 PM ET: There's a buzz they already got married (you think so?) and that what you're looking at is the site of the reception. Just passing it along, folks.

UPDATE 6:48 PM ET: We've just got these snaps looking onto Jay-Z's roof. Check out all the garbage! And who are those guys, caterers, the band, groomsmen?

UPDATE 6:57 PM ET: TMZ just shot Jay-Z's mother Gloria Carter at the Bloomberg building (where we just saw Matthew Knowles) wearing a formal white dress. We got Beyonce's sister Solange there too-- also wearing white!

UPDATE 7:39 PM ET: Kelly Rowland has just arrived -- wearing a white dress!

UPDATE 7:48 PM ET: OMG. Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin just arrived!

UPDATE 7:58 PM ET: Matthew Knowles -- B's dad -- just drove in, wearing a silver jacket.

UPDATE 8:03 PM ET: Beyonce's baby sis Solange just showed up.

UPDATE 10:41 PM ET: We know, we know. Live stream went out. We suck. BUT we're still there, outside the apartment ... and there really aren't any updates! We just spoke with a driver who told us an interesting tidbit. All of the drivers were hired for an event (they didn't know what) three days ago, but TODAY they were told that the event was off. THEN, this afternoon, they were told it was back ON. But the drivers don't really have much info on anything-- they're all circling the block waiting for instruction from security. Another interesting item-- no cell phones are allowed inside. The drivers are all carrying their clients' phones, waiting for them to come out.

Andy Baldwin --not of the Billy, Alec, Criminal, and Goofy-faced Dumbass Baldwins -- but of the went diving for old bones with the Armed Forces clan -- poses hangs out with rumored girlfriend, Marla Maples - you know, the ex Mrs.Trump.
