Whoopi Goldberg Going All Out for Doggone Wedding
Whoopi Goldberg's sweet baby boy is getting hitched to his longtime love, and there won't be a dry nose in the house ... because we're talking about an adorable dog wedding here.
"The View" co-host announced her granddog -- her daughter Alex Martin-Dean's pup, Filmore -- is engaged to a fellow French Bulldog and celebrity Instagram doggo named Izzy Hendrix (aka Izzy the Frenchie) ... and TMZ has all the deets on the upcoming puptials.
The owner of the dog-bride-to-be, Rick Hendrix, tells us ... he met Whoopi when he was working with Hillary Clinton and they teamed up on her campaign, and they've been friends ever since. He says as close as he and Whoopi are, though ... their dogs are even closer.
We're told they were hanging out over the holidays when the idea of marrying Filmore and Izzy came up ... and it quickly developed into reality. It helps that Izzy already has a stylist that used to work for Dior though.
Rick tells us this stylist has already designed Izzy's dress, and Filmore will be getting a tux for the big day from a designer in Ukraine. The wedding will be held at a private venue in NYC with a reception to follow at Whoopi's pad.
There's more -- celeb photog Timothy White will be on hand to snap pics, and the cake's coming from famed baker Juanita Lane of Dulce Desserts. We're told family and close friends will be in attendance ... and, of course, some canine friends.
BTW -- Izzy's been featured in Vogue, Paper Magazine and was on People's List of top pets.
No word if there will be a pupper prenup.

Cardi B & Offset Repairing Their Marriage in 2019
Cardi B and Offset are putting the drama of 2018 behind them and turning over a new leaf in the new year ... and their friends are confident they'll be rock solid again soon.
Sources close to the hip-hop couple tell TMZ ... they've been communicating regularly -- including while they were thousands of miles apart over the holidays -- and are focusing on fixing their marriage.
We're told Offset's vowing to change his ways and be faithful and honest with her, and Cardi's been receptive ... because she misses what they had together.
Cardi's still not wearing her wedding ring ... but not because she's acting like she's single. We're told she's just not emotionally ready to put it back on quite yet.
We broke the story ... the 2 looked like they'd reconciled shortly before Christmas on a fun-filled, jet ski-riding, Puerto Rican vacation -- and they admittedly miss each other ... at least, sexually.
They were apart for New Year's, though, because she was touring Down Under, and he was with Migos in Miami ... but it seems like they're always on each other's minds.

Exclusive Details
- 4.3K shares
Beyonce thrilled fans by finally revealing the dress she wore when she and Jay-Z renewed their vows, but the biggest surprise is she went discount for the gown! Well ... a Beyonce discount, anyway.
TMZ's learned she paid a little more than $10k for her gorgeous white Thelma gown by designer Galia Lahav -- $10,300 to be exact. A lot of money for most of us, for sure, but pennies for a queen.
We're told her stylist went to Lahav's flagship store in April 2018 to purchase the dress, and the designer was made aware the gown MIGHT be used for the couple's 10-year anniversary vow renewal ... but it wasn't a sure thing.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
So, it came as a surprise to Galia -- just like everyone else -- when Beyonce shared a split-second shot of the dress at the couple's vow renewal ceremony in her 2018 video recap.
We're told Beyonce's style team has worked with Lahav in the past and bought other items from the store, but this was the first time she was seen wearing the brand.
Obviously, the designer was thrilled.

EXCLUSIVE

Former Miss USA Tara Conner had no idea the ravaging Malibu fire would turn her into a hell of a wedding planner ... 'cause the natural disaster forced her to plan it again from scratch with only 24 hours to spare.
We're told Tara and Eli James got married on November 11 ... just 3 days after the Woolsey fire barreled down the hills and scorched nearly 100k acres, destroyed more than 1,500 structures and displaced nearly 300k people.
Tara and Eli were supposed to get married in Malibu that weekend but with mandatory evacuations in order, the fire literally growing by the minute and threatening their venue ... Tara says they abandoned EVERYTHING that was prearranged for the shindig, and came up with a whole new setup in Burbank ... at the home of her maid of honor's mother.
Tara -- crowned Miss USA in 2006 -- put family members on flower detail while a friend built an altar in the living room. Tara's father, John, gave her away and her sober mentor, Eric Proctor, officiated the ceremony. 50 guests cheered her and the groom on.
Tara tells TMZ ... "This experience proved that everything works out, no matter what, and has taught me to look for those blessings in disguise. It was perfect."
Congrats!!!

Miley and Liam were super secret in the lead-up to the wedding Sunday night, but they made it clear from videos and pics they got hitched.
Liam's brother -- Chris and Luke -- were on hand. Miley's mom, Tish, dad, Billy Ray along with Miley's sisters, Noah and Brandi, were also on hand.
One of the pics -- showing Miley in her wedding dress and Liam in a tux with white shoes -- bears the caption, "10 years later ..." That lines up with the first time they met, on the set of the Nicholas Sparks movie, "The Last Song."
The party was relaxed and fun ... you see the Hemsworth bros doing celebratory shots, with "Mr" and Mrs" balloons in the background.

Paris Hilton Doubles Down on Keeping the Ring ... 'It was Free'
Paris Hilton's not mincing words anymore -- she says the $2 million engagement ring she got from Chris Zylka is hers to keep ... and he didn't spend a dime on it, anyway.
We got Paris at LAX Wednesday and asked her to clarify recent comments she made, suggesting the jeweler who provided the ring got millions in free publicity ... so it's going to stay with her.
Now she's going a step further, emphatically telling us ... "It's mine." She also says it was free in the first place ... implying Chris didn't actually buy it so he has no claim to it.
As we've told you ... after Zylka proposed to Paris, the story was he bought the ring -- which features a massive 20-carat diamond that took about 4 months to cut.
But, Paris now says that was never the case, and according to her ... she's paid for the ring via social media promotion and whatnot.
Not sure that will hold up in the court of law, but until we hear more from Zylka or the jeweler ... we know where to find the ring.

Terrence Howard wants another go-around at marriage life with his ex-wife, Mira Pak ... so he proposed to her over the weekend and she said yes!!!
Sources close to the situation tell TMZ ... the "Empire" star popped the question Sunday night at Crustacean Beverly Hills in front of friends and family. They were all dressed for the occasion ... Terrence dapper as usual and Mira in an elegant gown.
Mira's main accessory was a doozy ... a beautiful 7-carat VVS diamond and rose gold engagement ring commissioned by celeb jeweler Ben Baller. We're told the ring is worth about a million bucks.
After the proposal, Terrence gave an emotional toast in front of Mira and her friends ... saying, "It took me 45 years to find you but now that I have you in my 50th year, I will spend the rest of eternity at your side."
Terrence and Mira go way back -- they were married in 2013 but she filed for divorce in 2015 while she was pregnant with the couple's first kid, Qirin. They rekindled earlier this year and sparks flew again like never before.
This isn't the first time Terrence has married an ex-wife. You'll recall he married Lori McCommas in 1989. They divorced in 2003 but they got married again in 2005 ... only to divorce 2 years later. Terrence was also briefly married to Michelle Ghent from 2010 to 2013.
Second time's a charm, right? Congrats!!!

Miley and Liam have been through it recently ... their Malibu home burned down in the Woolsey fire last month. It looks like the wedding reception went down at Miley's Tennessee home.

Heidi & Spencer Renew Vows for 10th Anniversary ... 'The Hills' Cameras Roll

Speidi went back to the altar to exchange their wedding vows, and just like 10 years ago ... they did it with TV cameras rolling.
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt held the ceremony for their 10th anniversary Thursday in Santa Barbara. In attendance, along with friends and family, were "The Hills" alum Audrina Patridge ... and newcomer Mischa Barton.
If you don't know ... the hit reality series is making a comeback in 2019, with Barton joining the cast for "The Hills: New Beginnings." TV cameras were rolling for Speidi's renewal of vows, and we're told the event's expected to be featured in an upcoming episode of the reboot.
It's interesting -- the couple previously renewed their vows in 2010, after Spencer called their televised 'Hills' wedding in 2008 a nightmare ... so he wanted a redo. That ceremony was much more private on a beach in California.
Looks like enough time passed for them to give TV nuptials another shot, and after 10 years and still going strong ... who can blame them?

Priyanka Chopra Keeps it Gangsta at 3rd Wedding Bash ... While DJ Raps N-Word
Day 106 of Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas celebrating their marriage nuptials might have been the most interesting -- thanks to the bride's dance moves, and their MC's Notorious B.I.G. impression.
Nick and Priyanka had their third wedding reception Thursday night in Mumbai for Priy's Bollywood industry friends. She danced her ass off while the MC rapped to Biggie's "Hypnotize." Worth noting ... dude with the mic rapped the n-word.
No one was fazed by the lyrics, and everyone seemed more interested in Priyanka doing attempting the Milly Rock. Nick stood there watching ... in admiration, we're sure. Also, he's gotta be tired of dancing at wedding receptions by now.
Priyanka also danced to some traditional Indian music ... some of which looked choreographed.
It's becoming a thing. You'll recall, the families had an intense dance off some 20 days ago when the nuptials began. There was also a Wednesday bash for the media in India.
No word if Nick danced at that one. Ya gotta feel for the guy.

Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra are giving Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson a run for their money as wedding aficionados, 'cause they've got a 3rd reception -- yes, it's STILL going -- for Bollywood.
Ya gotta believe Nick and Priyanka are tired of striking these poses, but Thursday they gave it one more go with a reception for Priy's Bollywood industry friends. The nuptials began more than 2 weeks ago with TWO weekend ceremonies ... and at least 2 pre and post receptions.
They also had a Wednesday bash for the media in India.
As if they haven't gotten enough attention ... they gave their fans and the media even more to talk about. Yes, everyone's taken note of Nick's hand over his bride's belly. We are NOT saying she's preggo, but we ARE saying ... they know how to start a buzz.
We also know for sure ... there will soon be another round of party pics like these once Thursday's festivities come to an end.
We're not even gonna make a guess as to whether this is THE final stop on their wedding train. Allegedly it is, but ya just never know with these 2.
This is one approach to keeping things fresh -- forever newlyweds!
