"Snake Salvation" pastor Cody Coots suffered a gnarly snakebite -- just like his preacher father who died from a rattler's bite -- but Coots' wife tells TMZ her husband survived by the grace of God.

The venomous canebrake rattler sank its fangs into Coots' finger on Monday as he was taking the snake out of a cage in his Middlesboro, KY church.

Cody's wife Brittany tells us ... her husband's hand swelled up pretty badly, but he refused to get medical treatment. She says the pain went away by Tuesday, and he seems to be fine now.

When Coots' father Jamie was bitten while preaching back in February he also refused treatment ... and died.

Brittany calls Cody's incident a miracle, telling us ... "Jesus saved Cody. The Lord spared his life."

Rob Kardashian is determined to drop his considerable gut after fleeing Kimye's wedding in fat shame ... vowing to hit the gym EVERY DAY until he sees his toes again, Rob's trainer tells TMZ.

Celeb trainer Gunnar Peterson tells us ... Rob texted him when he arrived back from Italy, where he bailed on Kimye's wedding because he felt too fat to pose for family photographs.

Gunnar says Rob's text was clear as crystal -- he wanted to hit the ground running ... literally ... posting up workouts every day this week, and continuing the intensity until the fat is gone.

As we reported, Rob's gym regimen hit a lull before Kim's wedding -- he worked out just a couple times a week -- but we're told Rob is now determined to get his old body back.

Gunnar tells us ... he will show Rob no mercy -- he'll endure a full hour of high-intensity full body exercises, cardio, resistance training ... the whole hog -- daily.

Gunnar tells us ... "Rob is locked and loaded" ... and NOT with cheeseburgers.

"Duck Dynasty" star Alan Robertson is defending his dad Phil Robertson's controversial views on homosexuality ... and even thinks his pops is "a 21st Century prophet."

As we told you ... the elder Robertson doubled down last month on the homophobic remarks he made to GQ magazine ... with a new fiery sermon on Easter Sunday.

Alan -- who's also a preacher -- spoke up for his father at a religious event earlier this month in D.C. ... and likened Phil to John the Baptist. Alan said Phil "has the heart and the mindset of a prophet … long hair, long beard, naturally camouflaged, he ate off the land and he pointed people to Christ."

There have been rumblings that V. Stiviano is gunning for a role on VH1's "Basketball Wives" ... so, when we saw "BW" exec producer Shaunie O'Neal out in L.A. this weekend, we had to ask if V. has a shot.

Let's put it this way ... Shaunie (who's awesome btw) didn't exactly say no.

We also asked O'Neal if she's ever reached out to Kobe Bryant's wife Vanessa to see if she'd be interested in doing the show.

The mayhem didn't end in Vegas -- days after Floyd Mayweather locked horns with T.I., Floyd's friend Benzino got kicked off an airplane in Chicago ... and in the process, the "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" star unleashed the loudest torrent of f-bombs we've ever heard.

It's all on video -- Benzino (the same guy who was partying with Floyd at the strip club early Sunday morning) goes OFF ... calling a flight attendant "a racist motherf*****" and a "racist bastard."

Eyewitnesses tell TMZ, Benzino was asked to leave the plane during a stopover in Chicago on his flight from Vegas to ATL.

The details surrounding the blowup are hazy -- we're told the flight attendant questioned Benzino about his seat and next thing everyone knew ... Benzino was screaming.

One of the most prolific hackers of the last decade has just been sentenced ... after breaking into computer systems and stealing a bunch of confidential data relating to more than 70,000 "X Factor" contestants.

30-year-old Hector Monsegur -- a member of the famed LulzSec hacker ring -- was sentenced Tuesday to in New York to time served (7 months) plus one year of supervised release. His sentence was reduced after he helped the Feds nail a bunch of his cohorts.

Monsegur pled guilty in 2011 to computer hacking, conspiracy, fraud, and a bunch of other stuff.

The 2011 "X Factor" job was just one of his crimes -- Monsegur was also involved in cyber attacks on Visa, PayPal, Mastercard, and several foreign government computer systems.

"Basketball Wives" star Malaysia Pargo insists her divorce from NBA player Jannero Pargo is NOT as nasty as it seems ... telling TMZ Sports she still wants to be friends after the split.

We broke the story ... Malaysia just filed divorce docs in L.A. after airing her beef with the Charlotte Hornets player on various social media platforms ... and it seemed the two were ready to go to war.

But now, Malaysia tells us both she and Jannero are keeping things friendly for the good of their 3 children -- and are committed to not only being civil toward each other, but friendly.

Lisa Vanderpump has had it with "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" -- but executive producer Andy Cohen is fighting tooth and nail to keep her ... using Lance Bass as his secret weapon.

Sources close to production tell TMZ, Andy and Lance double teamed Lisa at her Beverly Hills restaurant PUMP over the weekend in a last ditch effort to get her to come back for the next season of RHOBH ... disguising their attack as a casual dinner date.

We're told Lisa -- who's already killing it on Bravo with her other show "Vanderpump Rules" -- has not re-upped her RHOBH contract and has told Andy she's fed up with the show ... specifically because she felt extremely bullied by the other women last season. See below.

According to sources, Cohen is extremely nervous about losing Vanderpump -- a big player on RHOBH -- and spent most of their dinner trying to convince her to stay ... it's unclear if Lisa has changed her mind. We're told Andy used Lance because he knows Lisa and Lance are good friends.

18-year-old Kendall Jenner just bought a place that's almost certainly nicer than yours ... a spectacular condo in an insanely exclusive area of L.A. ... and she paid for it herself!
We've learned Kendall is now the proud owner of a 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath condo in a high-rise building near Westwood ... with a jetliner view of L.A. She paid $1,399,000, and got a $910,000 mortgage.

The building is awesome. It has a 24-hour valet, a concierge and doorman, heated pool, fitness center, catering kitchen, social room, card room and wine storage.

Kendall's unit has Subzero and Viking appliances.

Kris Jenner is listed on the docs, but we know the unit is for Kendall and we're told she paid with her own money.

BTW ... the realtor for the sale is Farrah Aldjufrie ... the daughter of Kyle Richards. It's her first big sale.

Everyone's movin' on up.

The mayor of ritzy Southampton has beef with "Keeping Up with The Kardashians" -- claiming producers lied to him -- but he also knows the family's about to help his town make bank, and as they say ... money talks.

Mark Epley tells TMZ he was initially told by producers Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian would NOT be opening a new Dash in his town while filming there this summer, but it turns out a pop-up store is in the works. He says he has no problem with it -- he just wishes producers hadn't lied.

Epley says some residents are worried about possible traffic issues with the Kardashians in town, but he thinks the financial gain from the exposure will be huge -- record sales for Dash, and a sales boost for neighboring businesses.

As for reports the Kardashians are getting their space rent-free ... Epley says that's not true.

As TMZ first reported, the Ks had quite a difficult time finding a place to live in the Hamptons for the summer ... with most of the town refusing to rent to them.

When in France (or Italy) ... don't French Kiss ... at least, not for your first smooch as man and wife.

Kim just posted a couple of pics from the big event -- including a shot from the moment Kanye was told, "You may kiss the bride" ... and it was closed mouths all the way.

Mrs. West also posted a pic of the happy couple walking down the aisle after tying the knot -- with baby North looking on.

Khloe Kardashian ditched the family and returned to the U.S. today by herself -- arriving in NYC after Kim and Kanye's wedding.

We're guessing Khloe's just on the East Coast for work (whatever that means for the Kardashians) -- and not fleeing the fam a la Rob.

Meanwhile, Kris and Bruce Jenner flew non-stop from Paris to LAX ... along with Kylie, Kendall ... and, of course, granddaughter North.

Kris was pushing North's stroller as they left the terminal moments ago ... with the usual crush of cameras.

After all that fanfare in Europe ... nothing's changed back home.

The reason Rob Kardashian ditched his big sister Kim's wedding was simple ... he didn't want to take wedding pics because of his weight gain.

Sources close to the Kardashian clan tell TMZ ... Rob has become so insecure and depressed about his appearance ... he refused to be in the family wedding pics, despite his family's encouragement.

We're told the Kardashians were heartbroken and tried to support Rob, saying he doesn't look bad ... but he still wasn't down to pose

Only one guest at Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's wedding truly touched the couple -- with a booger finger -- and still got the nod.

We were shocked to see this pic of ex-Vogue honcho Andre Leon Talley (sweet cape) leaving Florence with all of Kimye's other wedding guests Sunday morning ... considering his nose pick faux pas with K & K at the Met Gala a few weeks ago.

Ya can't say Kim holds a grudge -- and we ain't sayin' Andre's a golddigger, but ...

Rob Kardashian left Florence, Italy BEFORE his sister Kim got married to Kanye West ... and we're told it's because some major family drama went down.

Rob booked a flight from Florence to L.A late last night in a hurry ... and we're told he was in tears while desperately trying to secure a seat.

It's unclear what caused the Kardashian family beef -- but it had to be bad -- considering he missed out on not only his sisters wedding ... but one of the biggest celebrity events of the year.

We just shot Rob leaving LAX and he was clearly not in a talking mood.

Fasten your seat belts bitches -- TMZ is taking you inside Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's blowout European wedding extravaganza this weekend ... so keep refreshing this post for the latest information.

YOU DON'T WANNA MISS IT!!!!!!!!

3:33 PM PT -- TMZ has obtained photos from INSIDE Kim and Kanye's wedding dinner inside Versailles. Lana Del Rey just performed.

1:00 PM PT -- Don't count on seeing any aerial photos of Kimye's Versailles wedding activities ... TMZ has learned, the sky over the palace is a NO-FLY ZONE today. It's unclear if the no-fly zone order was issued specifically because of the Kimye nuptials, but with paparazzi helicopters circling, that would definitely make sense.

11:20 AM PT -- Kim and Kanye just arrived to Versailles ... and apparently they both forgot to wear shirts. Bruce Jenner has arrived as well, wearing sunglasses and a dapper suit. Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian have also arrived.

9:35 AM PT -- DOUBLE WEDDING MYSTERY ... where the hell are Kim and Kanye actually exchanging vows? They have two separate wedding venues set up, one in Versailles and one in Florence.
