The Kardashians

TMZ has obtained video of reality star Jonathan Cheban's bodyguard socking an aggressive stranger in the face.

Cheban ... a fixture on "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" ... was grabbing a late dinner with his bodyguard and 3 friends at Sushi Couture in Brooklyn Sunday night when a random stranger started heckling Jonathan.

We're told Jonathan Instagrammed he was at the restaurant ... then a preppy-looking dude with a knife hanging off his belt approached his table, but was blocked by bodyguard "Sal the Contractor." The guy even followed Jonathan to the bathroom.

Sources in the restaurant tell us the instigator waited until the end of the night, to lunge at Jonathan as his entourage got up to leave. That's when Sal slammed a punch into the dude's face, as our video shows.

We're told the guy backed down and left after the punch. Smart.

Kim Kardashian's wedding is so important to Bruce Jenner ... he's taking a golf hiatus so he can fly to Paris and give her away.

Bruce just arrived at LAX to take an Air France flight that will get him to the City of Lights 2 days before Kim tests the third time theory. Apparently no one's superstitious ... Bruce walked Kim down the aisle the last time around.

Bruce and Kris are living solidly separate lives, but they're still tight and he's still the patriarch.

Kanye West almost let a French photographer ruin his wedding week ... because he nearly blew up when the guy made a crack about lingerie to the bride-to-be, Kim Kardashian.

Kim and Kanye were swarmed by fans and paparazzi while window shopping in Paris Monday ... and as they walked past a lingerie shop one photog blurted out, "Underwears, very beautiful!"

That's when Kanye flashed THAT look. But watch the vid ... this time he holds back from a full eruption.

But the best moment was when Kanye actually cracked a smile and agreed to autograph a pair of Air Yeezy sneakers for a fan -- only to burst the guy's bubble by telling him his kicks are fake!

Rob Kardashian says he's a fully grown man and doesn't need blogs to tell him he's fat.

Rob is scoffing at reports that he checked into fat camp and rehab to lose the lbs. He tweeted, "Then why am i still fat u fools??"

This photo of Rob leaving LAX for Kim's wedding in Paris Sunday triggered all the hubbub. He says, "I don't believe in rehab or therapy or anything of that sort."

As for losing the weight, he says, "I'm a grown man and will work on myself when i choose," adding, "I'm aware that I'm fat that def aint a surprise to me lol and my only therapy will be in the gym ..."

You got it, dumbbells?

Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian have basket balls ... they've actually filed a battery report claiming some clown dared to make it rain all over them -- with confetti.

The "attack" occurred last month. Richie the Barber -- who by the way gives an awesome haircut -- was riding his unicycle on Melrose when he spotted the chicks. Richie, who often juggles bowling pins while riding his contraption -- made a beeline for the girls and dumped confetti over their heads.

Khloe and Kourtney didn't see the humor, and immediately filed a police report. Our law enforcement sources privately scoffed at the complaint and we're told they did nothing to pursue it because it was so frivolous.

But fast forward to 3 days ago. Khloe and Kourtney followed up and told cops they wanted to pursue criminal charges.

So we're told detectives then called Richie and asked him one question: "Were you trying to harm them by throwing confetti." Richie said he meant no harm and only threw the confetti bomb to "congratulate them on their success."

We're guessing the case will now take a fast train to nowhere. Richie didn't sound too concerned yesterday when he told us about the run-in with K&K.

Ray J is sending Kim Kardashian and Kanye West a huge check for their wedding -- even though his invitation was lost in the mail (as in it never existed) -- but the gift is his share of profits from the sex tape with Kim!

We're guessing Yeezy would prefer a blender. Or leather jogging pants.

We busted Rob Kardashian's chops for packing on the pounds -- but the guy IS trying to streamline before Kim's big day ... so we're now told.

Celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson is flying to Paris to train Rob and Khloe Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, he tells TMZ. Gunnar says Rob was training 5 times a week, but then slowed to twice a week 2 weeks ago because of other commitments.

It may be the most awesome wedding gift of all time ... Ray J is giving Kim Kardashian and Kanye West a $47K check ... representing 4 months of his 2014 profits from the epic porn tape with Kim.

It's breathtaking on 2 levels -- that Ray J has such humongous cajones, and that the tape is still raking in a fortune after 7 years.

Here's the breakdown of the wedding gift. Mind you, this is just Ray J's cut:

-- January $6,135.60
-- February $20,097.31
-- March $9,674.76
-- April $10,931.52
-- TOTAL: $46,840.13

Now get this ... sources from Vivid Entertainment tell us the tape has grossed $50 MILLION!

Remember, we're told Kim gets AT LEAST as much as Ray J, though we don't know exactly how much.

We've reached out to Kim to see if she'll accept Ray's gift, but so far no word back. We're told ... if she doesn't want it he'll donate the money to her favorite charity.

Ray J -- yes, that's his wallet AND he's happy to see you.

Kendall Jenner was doing just fine during her introduction of 5 Seconds of Summer during last night's Billboard Music Awards ... when suddenly words became her enemy and the whole thing went to hell.

Jenner got through the first part without a hiccup, but suddenly got thrown off track ... which led to her blurting out, "Guys, I'm the worst reader!"

Jenner took to Twitter afterwards and seemed to blame her eyesight for the debacle, writing, "Anndddd as if I wasn't nervous already!!!! #NeverLeavinMyContactsAtHomeAgain! #LOL #LessonLearned"

Better luck next time.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's wedding has everyone at the Palace of Versaille in hush-hush mode ... but after some digging, we got to the bottom of what's going down at Louis XIV's crib.

The Palace of Versailles has 5 spaces available for events ... but our sources say Kim's tying the knot in a place only a few others have occupied -- which we believe is the palace's Orangerie.

The Orangerie has been the backdrop for a few huge nuptials ... including one of the most expensive ever. Steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal rented the space for his daughter's ridiculously lavish wedding at a cost of $141,000.

It's around 350 years old, with two huge staircases -- famously named the "One Hundred Steps. The world-famous garden is filled during the summer with more than 1,200 exotic trees. Louis XIV said the garden was as important to him as the castle itself.

Coincidentally, the Orangerie opens for events on May 20th ... just days before the couple will tie the knot.

Kendall Jenner's perfect life hit a speed bump -- in the form of a zit.

KJ's slight imperfection was on display Friday at LAX ... proving she's just like every other 18-year-old.

And then she most likely hopped in her luxury SUV and drove to her mansion to nap on a bed of money.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have zeroed in on one of the most opulent places in the world to tie the knot -- the Palace of Versailles outside Paris.

There are reports that the couple will tie the knot in Florence, Italy ... in fact the Mayor's office even went on record confirming that.

But sources familiar with the wedding plans say it will absolutely take place at Versailles, following nearly a week of parties all around France.

A total of 3 French kings lived there and the palace and gardens are world famous to this day.

Versailles is where Louis XIV famously lived in the 1600s. It's also where Marie Antoinette lived with her hubby Louis the XVI and was trashed for her lavish lifestyle. She famously said "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche" -- translated, "Let them eat cake," referring to the common folk who bitched at her.

We gotta say ... it would be slightly awesome if Kim said it during the reception.

Kim Kardashian was calm, cool, and collected when swarmed by the paparazzi yesterday at LAX ... that is until her elevator arrived and it was FILLED WITH PAPS!!!

Our photog peppered Kim with wedding questions as she made her way to the elevator, but she didn't utter a sound. But Kim had no problem opening her mouth when it came time to banish the gaggle of photogs who magically appeared in her elevator. It was really quite funny.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian can't get married just yet ... and the reason is all about Jay Z.

Sources connected with the soon-to-be husband and wife tell TMZ ... they won't get married until the prenup is signed, and the snag has been a slow down because Kanye just dumped his old management and signed on with Jay Z's Roc Nation. We're told the people at Roc needed to get up to speed and thus the delay.

Our sources say Kanye and Kim are not fighting over the prenup, and we're told it will be signed within a week -- but not much before, because Kanye is out of the country. We're told the nuptials will take place May 24 in Paris.

There are reports Jay Z will be the best man, but we're told that's not true. He's invited and he may be the best businessman, but not the best man.

Lamar Odom's rejection at the door of Penthouse nightclub wasn't just humiliating because Khloe Kardashian was inside with French Montana -- it also sucked because reality show cams caught the whole mess.

Unless LO knew the plot all along??? Hmm ... something wicked this way comes.

The plot thickens -- the nightclub Lamar Odom got denied from insists the rejection was NOT a reality show set-up ... Lamar was turned away because the club was afraid he'd start a Chris Brown-level brawl with French Montana.

As we reported, Odom was spurned from Penthouse in West Hollywood while his ex Khloe Kardashian and her new man French Montana partied inside.

An E! camera crew was conveniently posted up outside the club to capture the rejection -- so obviously there was speculation that Lamar's rejection was a set-up for "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" -- but a rep for Penthouse tells TMZ, not so.

The rep says the decision to deny Lamar was the club's decision alone. We're told the nightclub wanted to avoid another bottle-throwing Chris Brown-Drake situation, so bouncers refused to let him in.

Sources close to the Kardashians tell us the same story -- Khloe didn't even know Lamar planned to show up.

You'll recall, Brown and Drake were involved in a massive brawl at W.i.P. nightclub in NYC back in 2012. The brawl resulted in a bunch of lawsuits ... and the club even lost its liquor license for a while. So it's no wonder Penthouse was playing it safe.

9:44 A.M. PDT -- Khloe just tweeted this: "Still hurts... Maybe it always will"
