Published | Updated

Kim Kardashian put on a white dress this afternoon in Beverly Hills, but it wasn't to marry Kanye West ... it was just for her bridal shower.

As TMZ first reported, the only thing holding up the Kimye wedding now is the prenup. According to our sources, the pair should sign on the dotted line this week, opening the door for the wedding ... which we're told would take place around Memorial Day.

Plan your schedules accordingly. Not that any of us are invited ...

'Flip It Forward' Crew 'Blindsided' HGTV Treated Us Like Dirt

Published | Updated

The crew for "Flip It Forward" isn't turning the other cheek with HGTV ... telling TMZ they were completely "blindsided" by the network's decision to cancel the show, and send about 20 people to the unemployment line.

As we reported ... HGTV yanked the show -- 4 weeks into production -- after a blog reported hosts, twin brothers David and Jason Benham ... had led prayers at anti-gay protests back in 2012.

Crew members tell us they're pissed at the network -- not the Benham bros -- for laying them off with 5 weeks left to go. We're told many are pissed because they passed up other jobs ... thinking they'd have steady work for a while.

Sources on set say the Benhams were "extremely genuine, nice guys" who never pushed their religious beliefs on anyone ... and even took co-workers to basketball games, bars and dinners.

The crew's attitude is if anyone's a Judas in this mess ... it's the HGTV honchos who pulled the plug even though they were fully aware of the Benhams' views on gay marriage.

Kourtney & Khloe REJECTED By the Hamptons 'They'll Attract Trash'

Published | Updated

Kourtney and Khloe won't be taking the Hamptons any time soon -- despite announcing plans to tape their new spin-off in the ritzy Long Island villages -- TMZ has learned, NO ONE wants to rent to them for the summer ... so far anyway ... because they're more trouble than they're worth.

Real estate sources tell TMZ, Kourtney and Khloe have been on the hunt for a massive Hamptons property to rent for the summer while they shoot "Kourtney & Khloe Take the Hamptons."

E! announced plans for the new show in March, but perhaps too soon -- because we're told producers have hit brick wall after brick wall while trying to lock down a house to shoot in.

All across the Hamptons, sources tell us, homeowners have unanimously rejected the Kardashians out of fear they'll bring negative exposure to the wealthy communities.

We're told the biggest concern is having paparazzi swarming around neighborhoods. Now a homeowner could step up and save the day for them ... but we're told so far no one is biting.

Pretty funny ... one Southampton snob tells us, they're all worried the Kardashians will "attract trash and ruin Southampton," so they want them to go to East Hampton instead, which is notably more "new money." But we're told even East Hampton doesn't want them.

Rich people.

T.I. Blasts Apollo Nida On Cam I Ain't Snitchin' Like You! [VIDEO]

Published | Updated

Apollo Nida won't be comparing himself to T.I. anymore -- especially when it comes to snitching -- because the rapper and his boy Killer Mike put the fear of God into Apollo in Atlanta yesterday ... and the whole confrontation was recorded.

TMZ broke the story ... "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Nida copped a plea with the Feds in his wire and bank fraud case -- and part of the terms included Nida agreeing to become an informant to help catch other crooks. Aka snitching.

Nida tried to downplay our story with a tweet ... claiming T.I. and Michael Vick signed similar "snitching" deals in their cases. Big mistake, Apollo.

T.I. and Mike caught up with Nida in a parking lot yesterday ... and made it extremely clear -- he better keep T.I.'s name out of his mouth.

In the vid ... T.I. tells Nida their cases were not similar at all.

T.I.'s right ... we've seen the documents and his plea agreement with the Feds does NOT include a so-called snitching clause.

Nida has since deleted the tweet -- and after what happens in this video ... safe to say he won't be saying, tweeting, or even thinking anything about T.I. again.

Bethenny & Jason Guess Whose Face Tells The Real Story

Published | Updated

Bethenny Frankel and estranged hubby Jason Hoppy buried the hatchet -- temporarily -- to celebrate their daughter Bryn's birthday.

They were strolling the street in NYC, looking happy, but snapshots can be deceiving.

As TMZ first reported, Frankel filed for divorce in January 2013, but they have been in a mega- fight over money and custody issues ever since. Just last month, Bethenny was ordered to fork over $100k to Hoppy's attorneys ... and still there is no deal done.

Maybe the divorce will be settled before Bryn's next birthday.

Kim and Kanye Prenup Holding Up Wedding

Published | Updated

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West can't get married, because their prenup is still being hashed out ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected with Kim and Kanye tell TMZ ... the prenup won't be signed until next week -- probably Wednesday at the earliest. We're told the marriage will NOT take place until both sign on the dotted line.

Our sources say -- unlike Kim's prenup with Kris Humphries -- the current negotiations are friendly ... there's no fighting. We're told there's just a lot to work out, and it got complicated by the fact that Kanye recently changed management.

As for the wedding ... it's looking like Paris ... around Memorial Day.

Porsha Williams Anti-Gay Rant Won't Cost Her 'Housewives' Gig

Published | Updated

Porsha Williams' anti-gay sermon does NOT mean she's getting axed from "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" next season, but she still might be 86'd over that reunion show brawl ... TMZ has learned.

As TMZ previously reported, video from about 3 years ago recently surfaced showing Porsha preaching and rambling about praying for gays, lesbians, and hookers to be saved.

But sources close to Porsha tell TMZ she has not heard one word from Bravo. We're told Bravo is more concerned about the fallout from Porsha's fight with Kenya Moore and the resulting battery charge.

Our sources say Bravo hasn't made a final decision yet -- but execs are worried about having both women return next season because restraining orders can put a real damper on group scenes.

'Housewives Star' Apollo Nida Sure, I'll Be A Rat For The Government

Published | Updated

Apollo Nida made a deal with the feds that has landed many an informant in concrete shoes.

Nida copped a plea Tuesday to wire and bank fraud, and TMZ has learned under the terms of the deal he agreed to act in an "undercover investigative capacity" for the feds.

Here's what we don't understand ... the plea deal is now available to the public, so what idiot is going to spill his guts to Nida now?

It gets even weirder. Nida has agreed to allow the feds to record conversations he may have with other criminal suspects. Again, it's like screaming through a bullhorn, "Don't talk to that dude!"

Nida stole the identities of more than 50 people and laundered more than $2.3 million ... so the government claims.

Nida could be sentenced to 30 years in prison, but that's worst case scenario. The judge will formally sentence him in July.

Hopefully, real life snitching will work out better for Nida than it did on "The Sopranos."

Kim and Kanye Touched by Famous Booger

Published | Updated

Former Vogue honcho Andre Leon Talley is definitely our pick of the week.

Talley dug deep during his interview with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West during Monday night's Met Gala ... and then touched the golden couple with his fool's gold.

It's unclear how much time passes before the dig and the touch, but Talley is clearly seen touching Kim's shoulder as he kisses her goodbye ... before using the same hand to shake Kanye's.

Kim did seem a little nasally after the interview.

'Real Housewives' Hubby Pleads Guilty in Massive ID Theft Scheme

Published | Updated

Apollo Nida -- husband of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Phaedra Parks -- has pleaded guilty in a massive money fraud scheme ... after allegedly stealing the identities of more than 50 people and laundering more than $2.3 million.

According to the US Attorneys' office, Feds pounced on Nida last year after he and a group of co-conspirators cashed tons of stolen U.S. Treasury checks, and checks from the Delta Airlines pension fund ... then laundered the money through bank accounts in the names of people whose IDs he also stole.

Feds claim Nida bilked even more cash by filing fake tax returns and obtaining bank loans against cars he didn't own.

He pled guilty Tuesday to conspiracy to commit mail, wire, and bank fraud. He'll be sentenced at a later date.

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Porsha Williams needs to pick one team or the other -- co-star Cynthia Bailey tells us, Porsha's currently playing both sides of the gay community ... condemning them to hell one day, and performing at popular gay clubs the next.

Cynthia's responding to video TMZ posted Monday, showing Porsha preaching at a Georgia church in 2010 about how gays are just like hookers, drug dealers, and suicidal people ... they're ALL sinners who need to be saved.

Cynthia called Porsha's pulpit rant disappointing -- telling us, "To put gays and lesbians in the same category as drug dealers, hookers, and people who attempt suicide is ignorant and insensitive. Especially when she just recently profited from performing at a popular gay club in NYC. #flipflop"

Porsha performed at El Morocco on May 2nd.

Gay RHOA cast member Miss Lawrence agrees, telling us, "I think some women use the community as a convenience ... i.e. for gay slang, fan base building, and beauty security. But like always, true character always reveals."

We're told RJ will appear in some of the shows, and produce others. Real talk though -- he's mostly gonna enjoy the hell outta the Ferrari.

Hittin' it first ... the gift that keeps on giving.

Video shot roughly 3 years ago at High Praise Christian Center Ministries in GA has just surfaced, showing Porsha preaching and rambling about saving hookers, drug dealers, people who attempt suicide ... and gays and lesbians.

She screams, "We're supposed to try and save them and tell them, ‘You are worthy!'"

She doesn't stop there either ... you gotta see this.

We reached out to Porsha for comment -- so far, no word back.

Scotty McCreery Home Invasion Victim

Published | Updated

1:26 P.M. PDT -- Scotty is now talking about the robbery. He just Tweeted, "Yes, it was definitely a very scary night. Luckily, my friends and I are safe and the Raleigh PD is on the case." Scotty also thanked police for their quick response and said, "I will share more when the time is right, but as of now we do not want to do or say anything that could hinder the investigation."

Country singing former "American Idol" star Scotty McCreery was a victim of a home invasion robbery Monday morning.

The Season 10 "Idol" winner was visiting friends at an apartment around 2AM near the North Carolina State University campus -- where McCreery is a student -- when the incident occurred.

According to law enforcement, 3 gunmen barged into the unit -- while McCreery and his friends were inside -- and made off with cash, wallets, and other property, including valuable electronics.

We also obtained the 911 call which includes a bunch of other details -- the caller says the intruders were black, dressed in black sweat pants and gray hoodies. The caller says he was in another room when they barged in, but he could hear them say, "Everyone on the floor. Give us everything you've got."

No one was injured.

Scotty McCreery Super Secret 911 Call

Published | Updated

The 911 call made after Scotty McCreery and a few friends were robbed at gun point was not made by the teacher from Charlie Brown ... it just sounds like it.

TMZ has obtained the 911 call made early Monday morning after three gunmen broke into an apartment near North Carolina State University and made off with cash, wallets, and other property, including valuable electronics.

It's hard to say whether the "American Idol" champ is the one who placed the 911 call ... because North Carolina state law calls for the voices to be distorted on the tape.

So even though you've just been robbed, at least your identity is safe in North Carolina.
