'Too Young To Marry' Star Paid $5K to Become Child Bride on TV
Attention teens who don't want to sling burgers for minimum wage. You can score a cool $5k, and all you have to do is get married and possibly ruin your life ... on television.
That's what 17-year-old Jurnee Mroczek is raking in for tying the knot on Oxygen's new reality show, "Too Young To Marry."
We obtained a copy of the contract Jurnee (common spelling) signed ... which also obligates her to do voice-over work. The contract also provides for exclusivity, presumably meaning she can't get married a second time on another reality show.
In case you're a romantic ... Jurnee and her hubby, 21-year-old Don Atkinson met at a V-Ball game in 2009.
Bump, set, spike, hitched.

Michael Jordan Going for Another Ring Applies for Marriage Certificate
Michael Jordan's gettin' serious about settling down ... TMZ has learned the NBA icon applied for a marriage certificate in Florida this morning in preparation for his April wedding.
MJ and his longtime GF Yvette Prieto were spotted at the counter at the courthouse in Palm Beach County, FL ... and a court spokesperson confirmed the couple had filled out the paperwork.
Jordan and Prieto are reportedly set to get hitched on April 27.
The move seems to be proof that Prieto isn't fazed by the paternity lawsuit MJ is facing in Georgia ... filed by a woman who claims the NBA legend fathered her 16-year-old son while he was still married to Juanita Vanoy.
So far, Jordan's rep hasn't commented on the lawsuit.

Miley Cyrus NO Engagement Ring ... Trouble in Paradise?
Miley Cyrus made a HUGE statement last night without ever saying a word ... 'cause she went out in public WITHOUT her engagement ring ... in the wake of rumors her fiance cheated on her.
Miley DID have some jewelry on her hand when she went out in L.A. last night ... in fact, she even had a couple of rings on her ring finger ... just NOT the giant rock Liam Hemsworth gave her when he proposed.
The timing is interesting ... 'cause there have been reports that Miley was angry with Liam ... who was recently spotted in the back of a car with actress January Jones.
Just a few hours before she went out in public yesterday, Miley had tweeted that she had NOT called the wedding off.
Then again ... 'lotta stuff can happen in just a few hours.

LeBron James My Big, Fat ... YOM KIPPUR Wedding!
LeBron James has finally selected a WEDDING DATE ... which is great news ... for everyone except LeBron's Jewish friends ... 'cause it's all going down on Yom Kippur ... TMZ has learned.
We've obtained a copy of King James' "Save The Date" ... which instructs his friends to block out Friday Sept. 13 through Sunday Sept. 15 for the NBA star's destination wedding to fiancee Savannah Brinson in exotic San Diego, CA.
The "Save the Date" even came with a fun caricature of Bron, Savannah and their 2 children ... each dressed in their finest wedding outfits. Cute.
But here's the problem ... Sept. 13 is the beginning of Yom Kippur -- a high holy day in the Jewish religion in which Hebrews and Shebrews are supposed to fast for roughly 24 hours while praying their faces off in temple.
And for the record, James DOES have Jewish friends ... including the famous Rabbi Yishayahu Yosef Pinto (pictured below) ... a man known around New York as the "Rabbi to the Business Stars."
The good news ... LeBron will probably save a bunch of cash on the buffet.
The bad news ... he won't be able to brag about the savings to the people who would appreciate it.
Mazel Tov!!!

Kendra Wilkinson RIPS Crystal Harris ... 'I Wanted to Kill Her'
Hugh Hefner's new bride Crystal Harris is lucky she's alive ... because Hef's old GF Kendra Wilkinson says she wanted to KILL Crystal for previously dumping the Playboy mogul.
Kendra was on the Big J Radio Show in Montana this morning when the host asked about Hef and Crystal reuniting in matrimony ... and KW blew up, saying, "I got pissed off when she hurt him."
Kendra continued, "That pissed everybody off that she would just leave him and dump him, use him and abuse him." Then added, "I wanted to kill her."
You'll recall, 26-year-old Crystal abruptly ended her first engagement to 86-year-old Hef in 2011 just days before their wedding. The couple patched things up last year and eventually married on New Year's Eve.
But don't worry, Kendra's not holding a grudge -- saying she only wants to see Hef happy.
So as long as Crystal doesn't dump him again ... she should be safe. Probably.

Wiz Khalifa & Amber Rose We're NOT Married ... YET
Amber Rose got a little ahead of herself when she referred to Wiz Khalifa as "my husband" the other day ... 'cause according to Wiz, they're not exactly married ... yet.
Wiz and Amber were leaving the Bel Bambini baby store in L.A. yesterday ('cause Amber's expected to give birth any day now) ... and the rapper told us Amber's "hubby" comment was sort of a joke.
"We've always called each other husband and wife since day one," Wiz told us ... adding, "We've always been husband and wife."
Still, Wiz says the two are still planning on heading down the aisle in the near future ... but the actual date is still a secret.
Congrats in advance.

Britney and Jason They Broke Up Over Kids
Britney Spears and Jason Trawick broke up primarily because she wanted to have more kids and he didn't ... TMZ has learned.
Sources directly connected to the couple tell us ... Britney, who is 31, loves her boys and desperately wants more kids. Jason, who is 41, is "in another place" and does not want to start a family -- although he loves Sean Preston and Jayden James. We're told the former couple argued frequently about family and this ultimately proved their undoing.
Our sources say ... there's something else -- dealing with the Britney empire wore at Jason and "took away his individuality." Jason wanted to maintain his identity and one of the ways was to expand his business by taking on more clients (he's an agent) and making more money -- this didn't sit well with Britney.
As for settling up -- we're told it's simple. There are no outstanding financial issues. Sources say the house Britney just bought -- $8.5 mil in Thousand Oaks, CA -- was purchased solely with her money and Jason has no claim to it.
Short story -- it's a clean break.

Britney Spears Here's Your Ring Back
The newly-unencumbered Jason Trawick is once again the proud owner of a $90,000 engagement ring ... because we've learned Britney Spears has already given it back.
Sources connected with the couple tell TMZ ... Jason did not ask Brit to return the 3.5-carat, Neil Lane ring ... she returned it on her own.
By the way ... there are reports that Britney bought the ring herself. Not true.
FUN FACT: In California, the ring -- which in legalese is a "gift in contemplation of marriage" -- must be returned if the wedding is cancelled, UNLESS the dude is the one who called the whole thing off. If it's a mutual break-up, or if the woman is the one who pulls the plug, the ring goes back to the guy.
The question -- If Jason gets engaged again, is it bad luck to give that ring to his fiancée?

Our Lakers source tells us the engagement went down on Christmas day, but Jeanie -- daughter of Lakers owner Jerry Buss -- didn't reveal the ring until moments ago.
She posted a pic of the huge rock on Twitter with the caption ... "Phil finally gave me that ring I wanted!"
So we gotta ask ...

Hugh Hefner & Crystal Chasing Tail at Mansion Wedding
Hugh Hefner or Crystal Harris's dog -- it's a toss up which one's sniffed more ass at the Playboy mansion ... but one of them took last night off, we presume, for the Harris-Hefner wedding.
Ex-Playmate Crystal forced her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, named Charles, to go black tie for the ceremony ... which was attended by a small group of family and friends.
We're not much for wedding pics ... unless there's a damn cute dog involved.
So, there ya go.
Fun fact: Most King Charles Spaniels live between 10 and 15 years. Hef's longest marriage was 10 years and change.

Hugh Hefner Marries Crystal for Real This Time
It's all over but the partying for Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris ... who finally tied the knot tonight at the Playboy Mansion -- after a brief 18 month time out.
Sources at Playboy tell us Crystal walked down the aisle around 7PM in front of an intimate group of family and friends -- a much smaller gathering than was originally planned for their June 2011 wedding.
That was canceled when ex-Playmate Crystal left Hef at the altar ... pulling the plug on their relationship days before the wedding.
We're told Crystal moved back into the mansion earlier this year, sorted out all the problems with Hef -- and then they decided to try the whole marriage thing again.
This is 86-year-old Hef's third wedding, and 26-year-old Crystal's first attempt.
If nothing else ... their reception should be kick ass -- it's the annual NYE bash at the mansion.
