Tying The Knot

Rihanna's never one to play second fiddle ... unless of course she's at her best friend's wedding.

RiRi hit up Barbados over the weekend where she was a bridesmaid at her best friend Dr. Sonita Alexander's wedding. Rihanna couldn't help but throw her hands in the air when she made eye contact with her BFF, who also raised her hands while riding in a 1960 MGA Coupe driven by her father.

The Barbados Babe -- who has known Sonita since they were 11 -- wore the hell outta this blue dress in yet another example that her wardrobe's got serious range.

BTW, remember this badass pose? She was a bridesmaid back in 2015 at another good friend's wedding in Hawaii. She was front and center ... cig hangin' from her lips.

2 Chainz has been referring to Kesha Ward as his wife forever, but now it's official ... they're married!

2 Chainz and Kesha tied the knot Saturday at the Versace Mansion aka The Villa Casa Casuarina in Miami, with some famous pals looking on, including Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz and Gucci Mane.

Kesha walked down the isle to John Legend's version of "All of Me."

You'd think Kanye West would not get shut down when he ordered a pair of Yeezy slides, but the ones he wore to 2 Chainz' wedding were waaaay 2 small.

The back of Ye's feet were hangin' off the slide. It may have affected his balance because it looks like he had to use Kim's ass to stay upright. Then again ... that's just a theory.

They otherwise had a great time at the nuptials.

5:30 PM PT -- 2 Chainz shared a video of the wedding party, including Lil Wayne walking behind him and a shot of his bride ... right next to the tiger.

We already knew 2 Chainz' Miami wedding was going to be wild, but he just put the "extra" in extravagant ... by bringing in a damn tiger.

As we reported ... the rapper's dropping a fortune to get married to Kesha Ward Saturday at the Gianni Versace Mansion, and the cost apparently includes having a white tiger on the guest list.

The large striped kitty was seen being rolled up some stairs into the venue in a cage ... and didn't necessarily seem too chill about it. We're told the tiger's caretaker mentioned the Bengal would be switched into another clean cage for the wedding ceremony.

Our source at the scene tells us the caretaker said the tiger would be leaving around 6 PM after the festivities. About 10 security guards were also on hand to assist with the delivery and make sure nobody got too close to the cat.

Nick Jonas and his fiancée Priyanka Chopra were all about each other as they celebrated their engagement.

Nick and Priyanka were front and center at their engagement party in Mumbai, India Saturday as they followed tradition for the roka ceremony.

Nick posted a simple message ... "Future Mrs. Jonas," "my heart" and "my love."

Nick wore the formal sherwani outfit for the occasion, as the couple prayed together. A number of rituals were performed and Nick followed the script to a T.

Priyanka's mom and brother proudly posed with the couple, as did Nick's parents.

Nick and Priyanka got engaged late last month. So far no wedding date has been set ... at least they've haven't publicly hinted at it.

2 Chainz is spending some big bank on his weekend wedding in Miami ... and he's got some big names on the guest list, too.

The rapper and his fiancee, Kesha Ward, are tying the knot Saturday at the famed Gianni Versace Mansion ... aka the Villa Casa Casuarina. We're told he and his family -- the couple has 3 kids together -- are also spending Friday night at the luxurious crib.

2 Chainz' friends Kim Kardashian West, Kanye West and Pusha T will be front and center at what's expected to be a pretty intimate ceremony ... with a bigger reception to follow.

By the way -- if you're wondering why the Versace Mansion ... Chainz LOVES rocking Versace clothes and shoes. He even teamed up with Donatella Versace to release collab sneakers at Milan Men's Fashion Week in January.

As for the cost of the nuptials ... a cool $300,000!!!

2 Chainz and Kesha also got engaged in May at the 2018 Met Gala ... while they were both wearing Versace. So ... it was just meant to be.

1:40 PM PT -- Sophie just tweeted her own explanation of the photo, saying "Lol. Thank god I have a loving fiance. Periods are a bitch."

Joe Jonas should've asked for a box of tissues for his birthday.

Joe had a mini-crisis on his hands Wednesday in the Big Apple as he consoled fiancee Sophie Turner. The "Game of Thrones" actress looked distressed as they walked around the city.

It's not clear why Sophie was crying ... maybe she's lamenting Joe's final bday in his 20s? The middle Jo bro turned 29.

What a difference a few days can make ... Joe and Sophie spent Monday double fisting fruity drinks and sucking face in Miami.

Nick Jonas' rumored fiancee, Priyanka Chopra, seems to have just put the speculation to bed -- 'cause she's got a big rock on THAT finger ... which may or may not have been meant to be seen publicly.

Actress Raveena Tandon posted a shot of her with Priyanka Tuesday with Priyanka's left arm wrapped around her neck -- placing her ring finger on full display.

Yep, that's an engagement ring alright ... and it looks like the youngest Jo Bro shelled out big time based on how big it is. Now, we're not jewelers or anything -- but this bling doesn't appear to be as elaborate as the one Joe got for Sophie late last year.

Whatevs though. Dude put a ring on it -- and that means Priyanka's officially off the market. Sorry, fellas.

Joe Jonas is celebrating his birthday a little early ... and Sophie Turner's white and wet crop top is certainly making it a much happier occasion.

The middle Jo bro and his fiancee were spotted double fisting fruity drinks Monday in the pool before putting on a steamy PDA display at South Beach's Delano Hotel. Wednesday will be his 29th birthday.

The "Game of Thrones" star's high-cut, 2-piece swimsuit showed off her curves and her tats. Officially, we're told that's a Greer top she's rocking, but we think crop-T-ini (™) is a much more fun name.

The couple got engaged in October and have been going strong since ... even double dating last month with Priyanka Chopra and Joe's brother, Nick. No word when they're tying the knot, but the world could use another happy 'GoT' wedding.

Justin Bieber popped the question to Hailey Baldwin a nanosecond after getting back together in June, but we've learned they're not rushing to the altar ... not by a long shot.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Justin and Hailey are waiting until sometime next year to tie the knot. We're told it's not that they're unsure ... not unlike Miley and Liam, we're told they feel they've made the commitment, and that's the most important thing.

We're also told it's a mistake to view their engagement as jumping the gun. As one solid source told us, "Justin's been in love with her for a long time, so this didn't just come from out of the blue." We're told there were a number of times -- times the public doesn't know about -- when Justin and Hailey got back together.

The upshot -- everyone thought Selena Gomez was the woman he always wanted, but even when he was with Selena ... Hailey was on his brain.

Kesha's making a name for herself in a new field -- the wedding officiant biz -- and she just booked another couple of happy clients.

The singer was at the premiere of her new documentary, "Rainbow: The Film," at Metrograph theater in NYC Thursday night when a couple approached her and asked if she'd marry them ... and she said she'd love to!

This isn't just all talk from Kesha either -- not only did she hook the ladies up with her scheduling peeps ... but she's got a happy history of officiating same-sex weddings. She's already done 3.

NBA guard Nik Stauskas just took the biggest shot of his life ... and SCORED -- 'cause his smokin' hot girlfriend said yes to marriage!!

The new Trail Blazers stud just met Alexandra Brynn last August ... but things heated up quickly -- with Nik popping the question Wednesday in front of EVERYONE at Philadelphia's Rittenhouse Square.

And, yeah ... the ring is definitely NBA sized.

"Words can’t even describe the feeling I had waking up this morning knowing I’d be waking up next to you every day for the rest of my life," Nik said on his IG page.

"I always knew when I got down on one knee you would say yes, but to actually have it happen last night was a dream come true!"

Congrats!!

Justin Bieber says the reason he got emotional with Hailey Baldwin this week has to do with the major commitment he's about to make ... and what comes with it.

JB was leaving Hailey's apartment Wednesday night in NYC, where he was in a MUCH better mood than Tuesday -- when he and Hailey broke down during a bike ride. Justin danced, chatted up fans and even explained why he was brought to tears ... sorta.

The "No Brainer" singer flashed a book he was holding to the camera, titled 'The Meaning of Marriage,' and explained it was simply a "bad day" in the long road that's marriage.

It's a pretty philosophical answer, but Justin's clearly not hiding anything when it comes to his (love) life.

Another 'Bachelorette' season has come and gone, and that means it's time for the awkward street photo ops ... which goes for Becca Kufrin and her new fiance too, of course.

The newest TV couple was following in the footsteps of their predecessors Tuesday, making the rounds in NYC a day after the finale aired ... where Garrett Yrigoyen proposed.

As was the case with Rachel Lindsay last year, now comes the seemingly compulsory trip to NYC, where paps shout out PDA instructions ... and the 'Bachelorette' pair plays along. The big question here ... who made ya cringe more: Rachel or Becca??

Colton Underwood thinks Becca Kufrin's 'Bachelorette' runner-up has what it takes to slip into "The Bachelor" tux next -- but he also thinks he ain't that special.

We got the ex-NFL stud, and famed virgin, Tuesday in Venice and he said Blake has a really good shot, especially after the emotional breakup scene ... which he considers authentic, raw emotion.

Not sure if Colton's vote of confidence carries much weight though, because he says all the other fan faves from this season -- and even an Arie-like old-timer -- are right there in the mix too. Fact is, Colton's playing coy for his top pick -- even when it comes to himself.

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin ride bikes as a couple and let the tears flow as a couple ... but it's hard to tell what's got them so stirred up.

JB and HB were out for a spin around NYC Tuesday when something went down that turned their summer outing into a roller coaster of emotions. At one point, Hailey was hugging and comforting her fiance as he wiped his eyes, but later at a cafe ... the roles were reversed.

It also looks like they might be praying together at one point.
