'Ink Master' Star Arrested ... Allegedly Shoved GF with a Safe!!!
"Ink Master" star Chris Blinston ended an argument with his girlfriend by picking up a safe and using it to clear the room ... according to the cops who locked him up.
Blinston was busted for simple battery Monday night in Palm Beach County, FL. According to the police report, he told his GF he wanted the social security cards and birth certificates for their 3 kids. She told him they were locked in a safe and she'd grab them later, but instead, Blinston grabbed the safe and threatened to take an axe to it.
In the report, obtained by TMZ, Blinston's GF told cops he pressed the safe against her chest and moved her out of the way. He denied touching her, but he got hauled off to jail. He was released Tuesday, but must stay away from her.
It's not Blinston's first run-in with cops. As we first reported ... he was arrested in September 2017 after his teenage daughter claimed he choked her. He denied it, saying his daughter framed him. Prosecutors eventually dropped the charges.

Farrah Abraham Counted Out of Celeb Boxing 'Mob Wives' Star Replaces Her
Farrah Abraham will NOT strap on boxing gloves after all, and another reality TV star will be her replacement in the upcoming celebrity boxing match ... TMZ has learned.
Our sources say the ex-'Teen Mom' star stood her ground with the promoter, saying she'd been screwed out of freebies, and refused to show up to Saturday night's bout. So, we're told the fight organizer, Samantha Goldberg, decided to pull the plug ... and immediately signed "Mob Wives" star Natalie DiDonato to replace Farrah.
So, the new main event is Natalie taking on Nicole "Hoopz" Alexander on Nov. 10 in Atlantic City. Another 'Mob' star, Drita D'Avanzo, will be the referee. Bias??
TMZ broke the story, Farrah felt she had an agreement the promoter, Damon Feldman, would hook her up with free fight tickets, hotel rooms and flights for her friends and family. But, Feldman insisted he'd hooked up Farrah and her daughter -- first-class, no less -- and she was just making outlandish demands at the last minute.
Bottom line, Farrah's ass won't be in a boxing ring. Don't fret ... we think it'll find work.

Farrah Abraham Screw 'Teen Mom' ... I'm Getting My Own Show!
Farrah Abraham is on the brink of locking down her own show after getting the boot from "Teen Mom OG" ... and she's setting up meetings with Hollywood producers to make it happen.
Abraham was spotted leaving a lunch meeting Friday in Studio City with her manager David Weintraub, and reality TV mastermind Jeff Jenkins. Jenkins was the EP behind "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," "The Simple Life" and "Little Women: LA."
Sources tell us the trio met to continue discussions about a show they've created ... starring Farrah.
You'll remember -- Abraham was fired by MTV from 'Teen Mom' last year -- she claimed she was only canned because she'd done work as an adult film star. MTV says she was impossible.
We're told the new show will center around Farrah and other single working moms, trying to balance work, family and their romantic life.
Our sources say they've already received offers from two networks for the project and negotiations are ongoing.

Lance Bass Still Tied to 'Brady Bunch' Remodel

EXCLUSIVE
- 1 shares
Lance Bass was noticeably absent from the 'Brady Bunch' reunion at the Brady crib HGTV plans to remodel, but he's still going to be involved in the show ... TMZ has learned.
Sources close to the production tell us this week's Brady kids get-together -- which featured all of Mike and Carol's TV spawn -- was simply a photo shoot that will be used for promos when the show is officially announced.
We're told Lance's team spoke to HGTV execs just last week and was assured he's not off the project -- the network plans to tap him in on the project sometime in 2019. It's still unclear if he'll be hosting, producing ... or both.
In addition to the Brady gig, we're told HGTV's offered him a second project. So, it's clear things are still cool between Lance and network execs.
As for the remodel itself ... our sources say the building team might've hit a minor setback after stumbling across a ton of asbestos in the house, which could delay the demolition process a bit.

Kenya Moore Gives Birth Early To 1st Child w/ Marc Daly
Kenya Moore is a mom for the first time at age 47, but she gave birth this weekend a few weeks early due to health complications.
The 'RHOA' star revealed she'd given birth to a baby girl, Brooklyn Doris Daly, early Sunday morning with her husband, Marc Daly, by her side. Kenya said she'd be delivering her baby early because she'd developed preeclampsia. She was due around Thanksgiving.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Kenya appears to be doing better now, sending out an update on her health via Instagram, saying ... "She's so perfect and strong! Marc was incredible in the deliver room. I lost a lot of blood so I'm very weak but they both were strong for me."
She added ... "God is so good. We are blessed and doing well. My heart is so full at the abundance of love for our family! We love you all."
This would be Kenya's first kid ever, and a lot of people doubted she was even pregnant when she first made the announcement earlier this year. Her ultrasound put those questions to rest ... and, obviously, an actual baby does too.
Congrats!

Kendall Jenner My 23rd Birthday Rocks!!!
Kendall Jenner got turnt for her BD Saturday night ... rockin' some birthday paraphernalia on the streets of NYC, with best bud Bella Hadid along with Tyler, the Creator, and then going to a friend's apartment where everyone cut loose.
Kendall is in the middle of a full-blown 23rd birthday weekend celebration.
Check out the video. Everyone was having a super fun time, but it didn't end there. They left and hit up the Sing Sing Karaoke bar until the wee hours of the morning.
She actually had a few moments of anonymity earlier in the day, when she tooled around on a Citi Bike in Soho.
We also found out on Thursday night in Philly, after the 76'er game, she and Ben Simmons hit up the Elbow Lane bowling alley.

Kendall Jenner Rebounding with Ben Simmons After 76ers Game
Kendall Jenner and Ben Simmons -- Round 2?!?!?
Sure seems like it, because the two got together for some private 1-on-1 time after the 76ers played the Clippers in Philadelphia this week ... and we've got the video.
Remember, Kendall and Ben broke things off in September after she was spotted kissing Anwar Hadid in a nightclub ... despite being in a relationship with Simmons for months.
It appeared the two had moved on -- until Thursday night, when Kendall showed up at Ben's game at Wells Fargo Center. Witnesses say Kendall had a private suite and tons of security.
After the game, security cleared an exit route for her, so she could slyly meet up with Simmons in the player parking lot after the game without anyone seeing.
But, there were fans who could catch the action from up above in the arena -- and you can see in the video Ben was waiting for Kendall with a super clean sprinter van -- and only he and Kendall get inside.
So, the question ... reconciling? Thinking about reconciling? Or, just one fun night in Philly?
All in all, Simmons had a pretty good Thursday night -- the 76ers beat the Clippers 122 to 113.

Reza from 'Shahs of Sunset' Hate Trump's 'GoT' Meme But I Support His Iran Sanctions
When it comes to President Trump firing off "Game of Thrones" memes to announce U.S. foreign policy in Iran, a "Shahs of Sunset" star says ... hate the messenger, but LOVE the message.
We ran into Reza Farahan Friday on Rodeo Drive in Bev Hills and, seeing as how he was born in Tehran, we had to get his take on Trump's "Sanctions Are Coming" tweet. Perhaps surprisingly, Reza fully supports POTUS and his hard line with Iran ... but there's a catch.
Watch the clip, you can tell it pains Reza to no end to say he's lockstep with Trump -- but says he's trying to focus on the big picture for his friends and family in Iran.
But, don't get it twisted ... he HATES the 'GoT' ripoff the White House used to announce the sanctions. Mostly because it's incredibly insensitive to the very people he claims to be helping with the sanctions!
Reza's got some choice words for Trump and his social media team.

Kim Kardashian West All Aboard the Elephant Express!!
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.
The family is back home now, but 'KUWTK' cameras captured most of the vacation, so there's plenty more to come.

Farrah Abraham Refuses to Fight in Celeb Boxing ... Claims Promoter Broke Deal
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' I Said 'I Do' ... Fancy Schmancy Wedding
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.

'Brady Bunch' House OG Cast Stages Family Reunion ... Shooting with HGTV
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 Raking In Ca$h From Hollywood
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.

'Flipping Vegas' Stars Cops Shut Down Horseback H'ween
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.
Nice Halloween treat for 'em.
