Kim Kardashian West is no queen of the jungle ... but certainly looks the part riding a giant elephant during her family trip to Bali.

Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Scott and their kids all made the trip last week. The group was flown to an elephant sanctuary on a private helicopter where they spent several hours and got up close and personal with the gentle giants.

You can see from the pics, Kim didn't hesitate to get on for a quick ride around the park ... and Kourtney joined in too.

Kanye wasn't on the trip -- we're told he stayed back because of work commitments.

Farrah Abraham will not step into the ring for the celebrity boxing match she's been talking up for months, and her camp says it's because the promoter screwed her ... on the deal, that is.

The ex-'Teen Mom' star was supposed to go toe-to-toe with Nicole "Hoopz" Alexander November 10 in Atlantic City. Sources close to Farrah tell us when she signed the contract ... the promoter, Damon Feldman, agreed hotel, travel and fight tickets would be included for her friends and family.

We're told there was never a concrete number of rooms, tickets or flights specified in the contract -- but Feldman made promises to Farrah and her team as planning continued. In total, Farrah was supposed to get 32 hotel rooms, 6 plane tickets and a couple dozen fight night tickets.

Feldman recently informed Farrah's team he can't deliver those numbers ... according to our sources, so she won't deliver on the fight. We're told she's standing firm -- no gloves, if there's no love for her friends and fam.

We spoke with Feldman and fight investor Samantha Goldberg who tell us the fight contract never specified Farrah would get accommodations for friends and family. Goldberg says Farrah's team made the outlandish demands just last week, and there will be severe consequences if she backs out.

Feldman provided us proof he's booked first-class flights for Farrah and her daughter ... and says he's got the hotel rooms locked down too.

It wouldn't be a total loss for her. Farrah's been training for months, so she'll still have the killer bod -- which can definitely help her make a few bucks.

We reached out to Abraham's manager, David Weintraub, who had no comment.

Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and Lauren Pesce tied the knot Thursday ... and gotta say it's a stunning contrast to the situation Mike's about to face.

Mike and Lauren took their vows at The Legacy Castle in Pompton Plains, NJ as friends and family looked on. Notables in the crowd ... Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Jenni “JWoww” Farley, Deena Cortese, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, Jen Harley, Vinny Guadagnino, Angelina Pivarnick, and Pauly D.

Jenni’s daughter, Meilani, and Snooki’s daughter, Giovanna, were the flower girls.

The official Jersey Shore Instagram account gave the couple a shout-out ... “On the Jerzday of all Jerzdays, we have ourselves a #Hitchuation! 💍❤ Congratulations to @mikethesituation and @lauren_pesce!”

Before the nuptials, 36-year-old Mike said, "Today I marry my best friend, my college sweetheart, my everything."

Sitch is getting hitched around 2 months before beginning an 8-month federal prison sentence for tax evasion.

It's throwback Thursday at the famous 'Brady Bunch' house, where the main cast from the 1970s sitcom is getting back together to shoot for HGTV's new show about the groovy makeover going down at their old crib.

As you can see in our pics ... Marcia, Greg, Peter and Bobby Brady -- otherwise known as Maureen McCormick, Barry Williams, Christopher Knight and Mike Lookinland -- staged a mini-reunion at the site of the Studio City, CA home used for exteriors on the show.

Greg and Marcia, Marcia, Marcia looked especially close. Oh, and don't worry ... Eve Plumb and Susan Olsen (Jan and Cindy) were also there, but stayed out of view of our camera.

We broke the story ... after scooping up the property in a $3-plus million deal, HGTV plans to blow out the home's interior and backyard to make a replica of the sitcom set. The project will expand the home from 2,400 sq ft to more than 6,000 sq ft.

Obviously, this will also require cheesing up the place, making it 1973 authentic with cottage cheese ceilings and all to duplicate the show.

As we reported, neighbors were PISSED OFF by expansion plans -- but, if you ask us, seeing the Bradys on the block is pretty cool. We suggest the whole Bunch go door-to-door to ease tensions.

Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino had a heart-to-heart before his wedding ... but the sit-down wasn't with his soon-to-be wife. It was with Ronnie Ortiz-Magro.

The 'Jersey Shore' stars had a powwow Wednesday night at the Westin Governor Morris Hotel in Morristown, NJ ... one day before Sitch weds Lauren Pesce. You hear Mike talk about Ronnie being his best man at his wedding and hopes one day Ronnie reverses the honor.

Mike and his fiancee rolled up to the hotel in an SUV and they beelined it for their room. Ronnie was already there when the couple checked in ... and a few hours later, Sitch and Ronnie had their chitchat in the lobby.

Mike just posted this ... "Today I marry my best friend, My College Sweetheart, My everything. Together as a team we can accomplish anything ... I promise to be my best self everyday & make you proud to call yourself Mrs. Sorrentino."

Mike and Lauren are getting married just months before he heads off to serve an 8-month prison sentence for tax evasion.

Beto O'Rourke is trying to ride the blue wave in the Texas senate race, and if he pulls off a huge upset and unseats Sen. Ted Cruz, he's gonna be thanking the green wave coming from Tinseltown.

We dug through 2018 Federal Election Commission filings to see which celebs were bucking up for Beto, and found lots of big contributions.

Sarah Jessica Parker, Jimmy Kimmel and Rosie O'Donnell have each thrown down $2,700 ... while Chelsea Handler plunked down $2,500 and Chris Rock has tossed in $1,000.

Beto also got $5,400 each from Connie Britton, Tate Donovan and 'Star Wars' director Rian Johnson.

Ilana Glazer dropped $2k and Ike Barinholtz chipped in $1,500.

We also found a $5,000 donation from Margot Perot, which is super interesting considering she's the wife of Ross Perot, the Texas mogul who failed twice in his bid for president.

Beto also cashed some fat checks from two huge screenwriters ... $5,400 each from David Koepp ("Jurassic Park" and "Mission: Impossible") and Nicholas Kazan ("Matilda" and "Enough").

Beto is currently behind Cruz in the polls ... but 'Real Housewives of Dallas' star D'Andra Simmons still thinks the Congressman has a real shot to pull off an upset ... and the money flowing in from celebs is certainly playing a role in the most closely-watched election in the country.

The stars of "Flipping Vegas" got someone flippin' pissed at their Halloween stunt -- riding horses on the beach -- and they ended having a run-in with Johnny Law.

Scott and Amie Yancey hit Malibu Tuesday evening on horseback while in costume -- Scott was the Headless Horseman, and Amie looked like Daenerys from "Game of Thrones." As you can see in the video ... onlookers at the Sunset Restaurant were in awe, but eventually ... the party on hooves was stopped in its tracks.

Scott's rep tells us cops arrived shortly after the couple trotted their steads down Westward Beach Road and told them they couldn't ride on the street.

Their costumes must have impressed the officers, because they were merely escorted to the trailers where the horses were stowed. Their show's been off the air since 2014, but seems like they still have fans in law enforcement -- Amie and Scott were allowed to go on their way ... on foot.

Khloe Kardashian might just be the good luck charm The Cleveland Cavaliers need ... she was in the crowd to cheer on baby daddy Tristan Thompson as his team got it's first W of the year.

Khloe was spotted at Quicken Loans Arena Tuesday in the same section we saw her seated in so many times last year. It's been a rough season for Tristan and the LeBron-less squad ... they came into the game winless (0-6), and fired their head coach Tyronn Lue just a couple days ago.

The team's luck changed with Kardashian in the crowd ... locking down a 136-114 victory over The Atlanta Hawks. Tristan had a good game too, with 11 points and 13 rebounds.

The haunted box that seemed to curse Post Malone is about to see the light of day on Halloween, 'cause its new owner wants to take a peek inside ... but on one condition.

"Ghost Adventures" star Zak Bagans tells TMZ he plans on opening the dybbuk box in his Haunted Museum Wednesday night, and he'll be doing it live on his show. As crazy as that sounds, it's even worse when you hear what Zak's been going through lately.

He tells us he's been getting ominous signs left and right leading up to the event that would make even Damien Thorn shake. It's pretty freaky sh*t -- stuff like dreams about people and animals being killed, calls from an unknown number telling him people will die ... and illness plaguing him for the past few weeks.

Remember ... this is the same box that supposedly put Post Malone's life in danger these past few months after he was in the same room with Zak, who ended up touching the thing. Post didn't touch it himself, but he did touch Zak's shoulder ... and Zak says that's enough to trigger a curse.

There is an upside, though, that hopefully keeps Zak from prying this devil box open. He tells us he'll only do it if he does NOT feel the same supernatural sensation he and Post felt in the room this summer.

Considering this box has made people pass out on sight -- like this poor woman here -- we're guessing he'll feel something. BTW ... we're told this lady collapsed after coming into the same room with the box just a week after Post visited. She had to be taken to the ER.

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro suffered a nasty black eye after his baby mama allegedly hit him with a phone and punched him in the face, and this is a DIFFERENT incident from the one last week where cops came rushing to his home.

TMZ broke the story ... cops were called to the 'Jersey Shore' star's Vegas home Thursday night for a custody dispute over the couple's 6-month-old daughter. Law enforcement sources tell us during their visit, Ronnie told cops about Jen's history of violence toward him.

Now we find out ... this was just the latest incident of strife and violence. Back on October 5, Ronnie was allegedly brutalized by Jen ... he says she punched him and struck him in the head with a phone.

As we reported ... Ronnie posted a pic of his injuries on Instagram, but never disclosed what caused the shiner.

We're told officers in Vegas informed Ronnie he needed to file a police report in New Jersey -- where the alleged attack went down -- if he wanted Jen arrested. Sources close to Ronnie say he has not reported the incident ... at least not yet.

Sofia Richie's looking purrrrrty Down Under ... so good, in fact, Scott Disick even snapped ... snapped a ton of pics.

Sofia showed off her hard bod Monday while rocking this leopard print bikini aboard a yacht in Australia. No question about it ... the show belonged to Sofia, and Lord Disick agreed -- he practically bowed down to her grace.

A photographer who travels the world with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West was seriously injured in a car accident ... TMZ has learned.

According to eyewitnesses ... Marcus Hyde was out driving in Malibu early Monday morning, cruising on the PCH, when he lost control and went over an embankment. We're told he was having seizures from the crash and was airlifted to the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.

One witness says Marcus went down 200 feet from the main road. As you can see from photos of the scene, obtained by TMZ, the car was completely destroyed in the wreck.

Marcus -- who regularly shoots for Kim, Kanye and other Kardashians -- is a big gearhead and has scheduled night drives with high-end exotic cars on Sunday nights. This time he was driving a Mercedes AMG CLS ... which he's shown off on social media.

We're told Marcus had a female passenger, who was hospitalized.

His condition is unknown at this time, but a law enforcement source tells us he suffered a critical head injury.

Taylor "Lil Bit" Wright had a ton of legal trouble last week, because we've learned she got busted for a second time in 3 days -- and this time it involved her kids.

According to legal docs obtained by TMZ ... the former "Party Down South" star got arrested Wednesday for taking her kids out of their home state of Virginia to North Carolina -- a violation of her custody agreement with their father.

That arrest came just 48 hours after cops hauled her in for allegedly punching her mother-in-law in the face.

We broke the story ... Taylor cracked a pretty wide grin for her mug shot on that assault case.

Scott Disick joined Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, his daughter Penelope, and North on a family trip to Bali.

Scott's chillin' on the yacht ... with no Kardashian in sight, but he don't care.

Kourtney was hanging with Penelope a lot ... but no Scott in sight.

Scott going on vacay with the Klan is a clear sign of peace ... despite the fact there is little interaction, at least in the photos.

North West was also on board ... who had lots of playtime with Penelope. Kim, Khloe, and True are also on the yacht ... and although we don't see it, we're going to bet the farm that cameras are recording the trip for "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."

Blac Chyna's getting ready to move into a new crib ... and it cost her a pretty penny.

TMZ's learned BC just threw down $3 million on a pad in the San Fernando Valley. The house is a knockout -- 6 bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms sitting on nearly half an acre. It gets better ... the 7,054 sq. foot home also features a guest house with 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms.

Guessing Chyna's big on wine ... the house has a custom-built glass wine cellar. Here's to more wasted appeals!!!

Cops are getting to know Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Jen Harley by their first names, because they had to come out again Thursday night to break up an escalating fight over child custody.

Jen showed up at Ronnie's home to pick up 6-month-old Ariana Sky, only to be blocked at the front door by him and his aunt. The aunt went HAM, screaming that her only motive for creating all the drama was money. She also called Jen a whore.

This whole thing erupted after the former "Jersey Shore" star posted a video calling Jen out for leaving their baby and her 12-year-old son home alone so she could go out with her friends and get drunk. It appears after Ronnie posted that video, Jen went to his house to get the baby.

Ronnie posted and deleted a screenshot of Jen asking for $20k for publicly humiliating her.

As we reported, Jen allegedly attacked Ronnie Wednesday ... after which he posted a photo of a shiner around his eye. He didn't say specifically Jen was the culprit, but it's not hard to read between the lines.

Check out the video ... you hear Ronnie getting smacked as she accuses him of killing her dog.
