Kim Kardashian celebrated the impending birth of baby #3.

Lots of celebs and fam showed, including Kylie, Kendall, Khloe, Chrissy Teigen, Jen Atkin ... and of course, North West.

The theme was "Tea for 3" ... and it was fancy -- high tea, and finger food. The grounds were laced with cherry blossoms.

TMZ broke the story ... Kim has a surrogate this time around because of serious medical issues that plagued her last pregnancy. The baby is due in January ... and it's a girl.

Taylor Swift owned the stage at "Saturday Night Live" ... with the help of a fake snake.

Taylor was the musical guest and performed 2 songs -- "... Ready For It" and "Call It What You Want."

Her mic was shaped like a snake ... the moniker for her new album, "Reputation." She never specifically explains why the snake, but it seems it may have something to do with her feud Kim Kardashian and especially Kanye West.

The LiAngelo Ball shoplifting arrest was NOT captured by the family's reality TV crew -- and now producers are debating whether to even cover the arrest on the show at all, TMZ Sports has learned.

"Ball in the Family" producers initially sent cameras to China to document the family as they support LiAngelo during his first game with the UCLA basketball team. LaVar and LaMelo were also on the trip. It was supposed to be the usual zany Ball family drama.

But we're told LiAngelo's trip to the Louis Vuitton store was NOT on the production schedule -- and there was no crew in tow when he (and two teammates) allegedly jacked expensive sunglasses.

We're told the subsequent police raid on the team hotel -- which resulted in LiAngelo's arrest -- was also NOT captured by the reality show cameras.

Instead, the TV crew followed LaVar and the rest of the family on several China outings -- from sightseeing to shoe promotions.

Here's the problem ... LaVar has already reportedly gotten LiAngelo in deeper trouble by publicly downplaying the incident. He was reportedly told to shut his mouth and keep a low profile on the matter until the legal issue is resolved.

So, to shoot ... or not to shoot? That is the question for the reality show.

Obviously, producers know covering LiAngelo while he's being investigated would be reality gold -- but it could also send the wrong message to Chinese officials that he's not taking the matter seriously.

One "Ball in the Family" source says show honchos are still trying to come up with a plan -- "It's too early to say how, or if, the incident will be covered in the show."

If LiAngelo is convicted, he could face up to 10 years in prison -- or as little as 20 days under house arrest in the team's luxury hotel.

"Little Women: LA" star Briana Renee was fed up with her hubby's cheating ways, so she's finally called it quits ... TMZ has learned.

A source connected to the former couple tells us Briana broke up with Matt Grundhoffer last month because there was no way of resuscitating their 3-year marriage. We're told they found it impossible to bounce back from Matt's constant cheating and flirting -- some of which was seen on the show.

Matt copped to straying at times, and it sparked multiple fights.

Now, the hard part. Briana and Matt have a 16-month-old son together, and 2 kids from previous relationships. They're still living together while they figure out new arrangements, but they sleep in separate rooms.

We're told there's zero chance of reconciliation, and divorce is looming.

Dream Kardashian turns one today, and Daddy's teaching her the family biz -- party hard on your birthday and whenever possible ... bring your famous aunts and cousins along, too.

Rob Kardashian was with Dream Friday morning to celebrate bday #1. Aunties Kim, Khloe and Kylie were also there, along with cousins North and Penelope.

It's the first time we've seen Rob in a while -- he's been keeping a low profile since that social media meltdown when he posted nude pics of Blac Chyna.

Speaking of Chyna ... there's no sign of her at Dream's party, but that's not a big surprise since she recently sued the whole Kardashian fam.

Happy birthday, Dream!!!

Melissa Hancock -- who's been featured on "Little Women: Atlanta" -- was allegedly driving the car that killed a man in a head-on crash and she's been arrested for DUI.

Virginia State Police say Hancock collided head-on with a 29-year-old male driver Saturday morning while going the wrong way on a one-way street. Cops were called to the scene after 2 AM and arrested Hancock. The man died later at the hospital.

Hancock's been charged with DUI/maiming and driving the wrong way. She's reportedly being held without bail in a Virginia Beach jail.

Kanye West is leaving no stone unturned -- literally -- on the construction site of his new Hidden Hills home, and he's apparently working at breakneck speed to get it finished so he and his family will have a place to live.

TMZ broke the story ... Kanye and Kim sold their Bel-Air home late last week for $17.8 million. That's a good thing for them, but the bad part is that they now need to move into their Hidden Hills home that has been under construction for years and is still not completed.

We're told the inside is in move-in condition, but the grounds are another story. Landscaping is a big part of an estate and it's also a safety issue for their 3 kids. The landscaping is far from finished and Kanye is now leading the charge to get it done ... STAT.

We're told the fam plans to move in soon.

Move over, Lonzo Ball -- Nick Young's not only down to star in his own reality show -- he says he's already gotten a bunch of offers to put the life of Swaggy P on TV!!

Swaggy dropped the news at Warriors practice today -- looking happy as hell telling reporters about his future plans for Hollywood domination.

But there's a catch -- "I gotta get the best offers ... gotta take my talents to the best place."

His asking price -- "Kardashian prices."

Nick lives the life reality producers gush over -- dates celebs (Iggy Azalea), has famous friends (Gilbert Arenas) and has all sorts of real life drama (D'Angelo Russell).

Kinda doubt Swaggy's worth $150 mil ... but hey -- shooters gonna shoot.

Porsha Williams is out one gun, and a few expensive handbags, after someone broke into her SUV and jacked her stuff ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star tell us Porsha left her Range Rover in a garage at her assistant's home last week in the Buckhead section of ATL. An eyewitness says a man wearing a mask smashed a back window to get into the vehicle.

We've confirmed police took a report and are investigating.

Tamar Braxton and her estranged husband Vincent Herbert have two very different views on the subject of reconciling ... he wants to make peace and she wants to peace out.

Sources close to Tamar tell us there's absolutely no chance she'll go back to Vince now that she's filed divorce papers. We're told Tamar's had enough. Their 9-year marriage had been tumultuous for too long and she's hellbent on ending it for good this time.

She's surrounding herself with family and friends to keep her focused on both her career and her personal life.

She's already moved out of the family home. Vince had been telling friends he's willing to try counseling, but Tamar's not receptive. As for their TV show, "Tamar & Vince", she's still doing the press tour but she's doing it solo.

As our source puts it ... she's done with Vince, and so is the family.

Jeremy Piven is being called out by a former "Entourage" extra who claims he groped her on the set of the show and also at the Playboy Mansion.

Ariane Bellamar tweeted Piven Monday, saying ... "Member when you cornered me in your trailer on the #Entourage set? 'Member grabbing my boobies on the [couch] without asking??"

She also claims she tried to leave but Piven "grabbed me by the ass, looked at yourself in the mirror, & said what a 'beautiful couple' we made?" Bellamar, an actress and ex-reality tv star, claims he did the same -- fondling her breasts and butt -- at the Mansion.

We reached out to Piven's camp, but haven't heard back.

Teresa Giudice thinks Sofia Vergara acted like a "bitch" during a photo-op, which is totally out of line because -- according to Teresa -- Sofia's an immigrant and oughta act nice.

The 'RHONJ' star spilled the beans last week during a panel discussion -- "Gettin Real With The Housewives" -- where the audience asked about her best and worst celeb encounters. Teresa tore Sofia apart.

Here's what happened, according to Teresa. She and Sofia took a pic last week together while at a media event and Sofia supposedly stepped in front of her to steal the spotlight. Then she griped about posing with Teresa.

Teresa straight-up calls Sofia a bitch. She then gets xenophobic ... saying immigrants should be good-natured.

On a positive note ... at least Jennifer Lopez is all good in Teresa's book.

Cardi B and Migos' Offset are learning love pays big time ... if they can make it to the altar.

Multiple production sources tell TMZ ... shortly after the couple got engaged, BET, VH1 and WE tv started jockeying to seal the deal on a TV wedding special that could be worth about one million dollars!

We're told the goal is to set up freshly engaged Cardi and Offset with a deal similar to what Gucci Mane and Keyshia Ka'oir nailed down with BET to air their lavish wedding.

Our sources say renowned producer Mona Scott from VH1 has already reached out to Cardi B. Mona created 'Love & Hip Hop' ... so you'd think she'd be the front-runner.

We're told the couple's down for a TV special, and they're mulling over offers.

2:30 PM PT -- Warner Bros. tells us, "We take all allegations of workplace harassment very seriously. These allegations were brought to our attention and were thoroughly investigated earlier this year. Our findings did not support the plaintiff’s characterization of the events claimed to have taken place, which is why we are disappointed by the filing of this lawsuit."

The company that produces the 'Bachelor' franchise, along with several of its producers, has a sexual harassment case on its hands -- a former employee now claims producers repeatedly asked her sexually invasive questions that she says had nothing to do with the show.

Becky Steenhoek is suing Warner Bros. Entertainment and several producers from the show claiming they asked her gratuitous questions, including:

-- How often do you masturbate?

-- Do you own sex toys/dildos?

-- Have you ever had anal sex?

-- Do you enjoy giving hand jobs?

-- Is your vagina shaved? Do you have a landing strip?

-- Has a man ever got your "taco" talking?

Steenhoek says these questions were designed to embarrass her because of her "sexual inexperience and conservative views about sex."

She claims a week after complaining about the comments she was fired.

"Dancing with the Stars" front-runner Lindsey Stirling is in excruciating pain after suffering a devastating injury that could knock her off the show.

'DWTS' sources tell TMZ ... Lindsey was badly hurt Sunday in rehearsal practicing a rapid dance move and was rushed to a hospital. We've learned she suffered a blunt rib injury and possible separation, and the pain's so immense it could force her to bow out of Monday's show.

Lindsey's dance partner, Mark Ballas, went to the hospital with Lindsey, and she asked him what would happen if she's unable to perform Monday. It's crushing ... he tells Lindsey she'll have to forfeit.

Bethenny Frankel had an extremely tough weekend -- her family dog suffered a massive seizure ... and now she's saying she might have to put her down.

Bethenny posted a number of harrowing videos Saturday of her pup, Cookie, having a seizure at her home ... with a distraught Bethenny literally asking her social media followers what she should do, especially since her nearest vet is 40 min away.

Bethenny later said their docs didn't have good news at first -- Cookie was alive, but unconscious ... but she's now resting with a high temperature. During the seizure scare, Bethenny said she'd be putting her down if she didn't recover.

The ex-RHONY star caught flak for what some thought was a terrible reaction to the situation -- people assumed she waited 45 minutes before bringing the dog to the vet, and opted to film instead.

Bethenny cleared up the controversy, though ... she said they left for the vet only 3 minutes into Cookie's seizure, and that she only resorted to social media out of desperation.
