Tying The Knot

Anna Faris finally confirmed that new rock on her left hand is NOT a promise ring -- she IS engaged!!! But, still nowhere near ready to start talking about a wedding date.

Anna and her fiance, cinematographer Michael Barrett, were leaving a dinner party over the weekend in Santa Monica -- and when paps started taking photos, you could see she was glowing. Anna smiled and thanked the photogs who were congratulating her on Michael putting a ring on it.

When they asked if she's ready for the big day, Anna thought about it and confessed ... she's not at that stage just yet. Cut her some slack ... it was just last week when Anna was first seen wearing her new diamond ring.

As we reported ... Anna's not the ring-wearing type of gal so when she was walking around L.A. with that rock, we suspected Michael had popped the question.

The 'Jersey Shore' cast is trading in the boardwalk for Bourbon Street ... the gang's turning up in New Orleans one last time before Angelina Pivarnick walks down the aisle.

Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, Pauly D, Vinny Guadagnino, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, Snooki, Deena and JWoww were back together this week in the Big Easy for Angelina's bachelorette ... tossing beads, wearing Mardi Gras masks and stumbling through the crowded streets.

Ah yes, the rare coed bachelorette party.

JWoww showing support for Angelina is pretty interesting, considering their recent drama ... remember, JWoww briefly split with her boyfriend after he was caught hitting on Angelina in Vegas. Looks like the girls have mended fences.

Ronnie's getting in on the action too ... only weeks after getting hit with a laundry list of misdemeanor charges following his nasty incident with Jen Harley.

'Jersey Shore' cameras were rolling the entire time ... and the bachelorette party will be featured on the next season of the reality show.

Angelina is marrying Chris Larangeira on November 20 ... and she picked the perfect place for her last hurrah. Can't go wrong with 3-for-1 drinks, beignets, jazz and legally boozing in public.

Gotta love NOLA!!!

Anna Faris is all geared up for another walk down the aisle -- based on the rock weighing down her left hand.

The actress was out and about Sunday in L.A. with a gigantic diamond ring. She's not really the ring-wearing type of gal -- we've checked a bunch of older pics -- so the fact she rocking a ring on her left ring finger seems to be a strong sign she's now engaged ring to her BF, cinematographer Michael Barrett.

And, it's not like Anna's hand was iced up for some kind of special event -- she had stepped out in a baseball cap, grey t-shirt, jeans and UGGs. So, super casual in every way ... except for that diamond.

The timing's interesting. Less than 8 months ago, Anna jumped on Laura Wasser's podcast, "Divorce Sucks!" and seemed non-committal about getting married again.

At the time, Anna said her reasoning for not getting married a third time had a lot to do with her strong feelings against the institution of marriage itself. She didn't definitively say no to tying the knot again, but she was leaning towards no dice.

As we reported ... Anna and Michael started dating a little over 2 years ago. Things quickly progressed ... and before long, Anna and Michael were going on double-dates with Anna's ex, Chris Pratt and his now-wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger.

If it is, in fact, an engagement ring ... this would be Anna's third marriage. She was married to Ben Indra from 2004 to 2008 and to Chris from 2009 until their 2018 divorce.

Congrats!!!

Jeff Bezos may have just proved to GF Lauren Sanchez he's definitely hubby material -- in case she's not already convinced -- by playing the perfect host for their famous friends.

Amazon's head honcho gathered some serious power players Wednesday night at his NYC pad for a celebratory dinner in honor of his friend and designer Misha Nonoo's recent wedding. Misha -- who btw is BFFs with Meghan Markle -- recently tied the knot with entrepreneur Michael Hess in Rome, and Jeff's party seems like the cherry on top of their marital bashes.

The event was filled with power couples, including Hollywood mogul Barry Diller and fashion icon Diane von Furstenberg, mega TV producer Mark Burnett and actress Roma Downey ... and model Karlie Kloss and Joshua Kushner ... brother of President Trump's son-in-law, Jared.

Nicki Minaj's husband went to great lengths to put a ring on her finger ... overseeing the making of her wedding band every step of the way and throwing down a massive wad of cash to secure it.

Nicki is finally showing everyone the diamond goods ... and the jeweler who made it tells us Kenneth Petty handled the design, delivery and paid for it on his own. We're told the band is valued at $1.1 million.

Rafaello and Co tells us Kenneth commissioned them to make their wedding rings, working together on a design for several months. Nicki's custom bling features a 17-carat center with VVS2-clarity diamonds.

The jeweler tells us Kenneth wanted a traditional wedding ring for Nicki -- nice diamonds and nothing too gaudy -- because he knows that's her style.

As for Kenneth's band ... we're told it's customized with the words "Ken & Barbie" on the inside of the ring. Nicki's doesn't have an inscription, but we're told there was simply no room for one.

We're told the jeweler flew from New York City to Los Angeles a few days before Nicki's wedding to deliver the rings ... they came in a customized jewelry box that plays a photo slideshow of the couple to the tune of Nicki's song, "Come See About Me."

TMZ broke the story ... Nicki and Kenneth got hitched last week in L.A. in a super low-key ceremony, rushing to the altar with her pastor because their marriage license was about to expire.

Sounds like things are going great for the newlyweds ... their jeweler tells us Nicki and Kenneth are "definitely in love and happy."

Christie Brinkley's ex-husband, Peter Cook, popped the question to another blonde bombshell ... but this one's just old enough to legally pop a cork.

Peter is now engaged to tie the knot with 21-year-old Alba Jancou. He dropped down to one knee and proposed to the college hottie last month outside a church in Santorini ... according to the NY Post.

Peter's been hanging out with Alba since at least this summer, showing her off at some fancy parties in the Hamptons. We know -- age is just a number, but this is kinda wild.

Peter and Christie's daughter, model Sailor Brinkley-Cook, is the same age as Alba ... her new stepmom-to-be.

Alba is currently a student at Tulane University in New Orleans, and according to her social media, she'll be graduating in 2021. As for the other important date in her life -- no word on when the happy couple's planning to walk down the aisle.

BTW ... the age gap is the same as Dennis Quaid and his fiancee, Laura Savoie, who got engaged earlier this month in Hawaii.

Nicki Minaj wanted a familiar face to help her tie the knot ... so she brought in her pastor from the other side of the U.S. of A. to officiate the ceremony.

Sources close to Nicki tell TMZ ... the singer flew out her pastor, Lydia Woodson-Sloley, from Brooklyn to Los Angeles for her nuptials with Kenneth Petty.

We're told Nicki and Pastor Lydia -- who fancies herself as a poet, author, Christian life coach and music producer -- go way back, so Nicki just had to have her as the wedding minister.

Lydia founded "Life in Its Poetic Form Christian Ministries" way back in 2000, and Nicki's a huge supporter of her work -- even thanking her in front of millions of people at the 2015 VMAs after accepting the award for best hip-hop video.

Nicki and Pastor Lydia also joined forces in 2017 to rebuild a village in India, making sure people there gained access to clean water.

We broke the story ... Nicki and Kenneth got hitched Monday in L.A. in a low-key ceremony, rushing to the altar because their marriage license was set to expire at month's end.

Nicki and Kenneth are following the blueprint of Justin and Hailey -- no-frills nuptials, followed by a church service and blowout celebration -- so it's a good bet Pastor Lydia will continue to be involved moving forward.

Nicki Minaj and Kenneth Petty only got hitched because the clock was ticking on their marriage license ... and they'll have a big bash with friends and family later.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Nicki and Petty got married Monday at a private space in L.A. We're told the only people who attended -- aside from the bride and groom -- was the minister.

As for why the rush ... their marriage license expires at the end of this month, so they had to pull the trigger or start all over again at square one. It's only good for 90 days.

Our sources say Nicki and Kenneth are going the route of Justin and Hailey ... a small, no-frills wedding followed by a church service and massive celebration. As for Nicki and Kenneth ... we're told they're in no rush, but they will plan a big event.

Nicki posted custom bride and groom hats and mugs Monday with the date engraved ... a glimpse into the day's festivities.

Our sources say Nicki and Kenneth were already living as hubby and wife ... even referring to themselves as married, so this isn't a real big change.

Nicki Minaj says she's married to her high school sweetheart -- and we have every reason to believe her, because the handwriting was on the wall weeks ago.

The Queen MC made the big announcement Monday evening, telling her 106 million followers that her new name is "Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty" ... taking the last name of her new boo, Kenneth Petty ... whom she's been with since at least late last year.

Nicki also posted footage from what appears to be the day they tied the knot ... "10.21.19." In the video that she posted, NM shows off custom bride and groom caps and mugs -- it would seem she and Ken had themselves a party ... this might've been the aftermath.

As we've reported ... Nicki and Ken obtained a marriage license back in June, but told her radio audience in mid-August that she'd gotten it renewed that month ... and would be getting hitched about 80 days from then. Looks like she was right on the money.

Nicki seemed to fall for Kenneth quickly, once they went public. The reason, of course, was they were old flames ... who simply rekindled their romance.

We learned about Ken's old rap sheet -- which includes convictions for manslaughter and attempted rape -- but Nicki made it clear she believes that's all in his past.

Jeremy Allen White from "Shameless" got married last week -- and Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin kinda stirred the pot themselves by attending.

The actress and the Coldplay frontman were spotted together Friday morning hitting up the Beverly Hills courthouse, where tons of famous folks go to get hitched, or at the very least ... to get a marriage license.

As it turns out, they were there merely to witness their good friends, Jeremy and Addison Timlin, say "I do" to each other in front of an intimate group of guests. Jeremy plays Lip Gallagher in "Shameless," and Addison played Lucinda in "Fallen."

Dakota was photographed inside the courthouse holding Jeremy and Addison's 1-year-old baby girl, Ezer -- who obviously had a front-row view for Mom and Dad's nuptials.

Jeremy and Addison, who got engaged in April, posed for some pretty cute photos as they sealed the deal. They wore matching black denim jackets with the words "Til Death" split between both of them, and what looks to be their pet names for each other outlined in hearts with arrows running through.

We know ... sickeningly romantic stuff.

Of course, Dakota and Chris posed with their friends -- and the happy couple also posted a photo with their baby with the caption ... "The big day."

The reason folks thought it was Dakota and Chris walking down the aisle is because Chris was in a black suit and tie, and Dakota was very done up herself. They've been dating for about 2 years now ... and things seem to be going swimmingly.

Oddly enough, one of Chris' exes was getting married herself across the country the same weekend. As we reported, Jennifer Lawrence married Cooke Maroney in Rhode Island, which proved to be a star-studded ceremony with tons of her friends coming out.

Dr. Paul Nassif dropped a small fortune to spoil his new wife, Brittany Pattakos ... with some ritzy bling leading up to their wedding.

The star M.D. from "Botched" commissioned Harakh Mehta of Harakh Jewelers to get the ball rolling ... first with a massive engagement ring that cost Nassif around $165k. Mehta tells us the engagement ring -- pure platinum, BTW -- is practically an iceberg ... 3.15-carat center stone stealing the show (behind Brittany, of course).

We're told the jeweler also created not one but 2 wedding bands for Brittany -- 2 full eternity diamond bands totaling 1.24 carats crafted in pure platinum. Price tag -- around $9k.

So, why 2 wedding bands? Mehta says, "We specially crafted two bands rather than one to surround the engagement ring which marked the two milestones in their life."

Mehta tells us it took around 4 months to make the rings. The doc proposed to Brittany back in June and they tied the knot in L.A. followed by a reception in Santorini, Greece earlier this month.

BTW ... Nassif sang to Brittany at their wedding. And, no ... he didn't botch it!!!

Dennis Quaid seems ready to walk to the altar again -- the guy's reportedly engaged to his WAAYYY younger girlfriend ... and we got what looks like the first photo of the ring.

TMZ has obtained a photo of Dennis with his 26-year-old GF (and now, apparent fiancee), Laura Savoie, holding up her left ring finger, which has a giant rock on it. We're told this photo was taken Friday night minutes after DQ proposed to her at Turtle Bay in Oahu.

Apparently, a wedding party was happening nearby, and a couple that had just gotten hitched invited Dennis and Laura to pose for a pic to celebrate the dual occasions. Mazel!!!

Laura's a grad student at the University of Texas. She and Dennis have been going out since the summer, so Dennis -- who's 65, BTW -- must truly be head over heels for this gal.

As we reported ... Dennis and Laura were spotted vacationing in Hawaii just earlier this week, where they were getting their paddleboard on at Waikiki Beach. They've been seen out together a lot, notably in August while boating on Lake Como in Italy.

This would be Dennis' fourth marriage -- he's been hitched to Kimberly Quaid, Meg Ryan and P.J. Soles, and had children with the former two women.

Jennifer Lawrence and Cooke Maroney tied the knot Saturday night at Belcourt of Newport, a pretty spectacular Rhode Island mansion.

Among the guests ... Ashley Olsen, Kris Jenner, Emma Stone, Corey Gamble, Cameron Diaz, Nicole Richie and Sienna Miller.

29-year-old JLaw and 34-year-old Cooke hooked up last year and got engaged this past Feb. Cooke, an art gallery director, doesn't seem thirsty at all for the attention that comes with marrying JLaw ... when she walked a red carpet, he was MIA. That said, they're clearly nuts about each other.

150 guests showed up ... and get this, only one vegan! The meal included 5-week-aged leg of beef with forager's sauce and salt cod beignets. They had a bunch of desserts, including house-made marshmallow s'mores.

Jennifer Lawrence is hours away from saying "I do" on the Eastern Seaboard -- but until then, the meat and potatoes of her wedding venue are still being worked out ... literally.

Preparations for J.Law's nuptials were underway early Saturday morning at the historic Belcourt of Newport estate-turned-museum in Rhode Island -- where the actress will be tying the knot with hubby-to-be Cooke Maroney later today in front of 150 guests.

Caterers for the event were hard at work getting ready for the ceremony -- unloading supplies and wheeling them through the massive doors of the property. But, more importantly ... it appears the actual food that'll be served up was being worked on as well.

From the looks of it ... these guys brought over a slaughterhouse's worth of meat, and it seems they were getting ready to fire it all up in a wood-burning barbecue.

Assuming, J.Law and Cooke didn't make any last-minute changes to their extravagant menu, this would probably be the 5-week-aged leg of beef with forager's sauce -- just one of the two meat options folks can choose from for the main course of their meal.

Based on the size of this one slab here, we're guessing no one will go hungry. Save your appetite, dinner's almost ready!!!

"Jersey Shore" star Angelina Pivarnick is looking to entertain like a pro once she gets married -- based on her wedding day wish list -- but we still doubt JWoww will RSVP.

Angelina is marrying Chris Larangeira on November 20 -- a Wednesday, no less -- and so far she's gotten about half the stuff she registered for at Bed, Bath & Beyond. She's not only picked tons of items that would make her a great hostess ... but she also picked out some items for herself.

For starters ... Angelina and Chris went with a 50-piece flatware set that goes for about $80. There's also a serving platter ($51), paper towel holder ($59), kitchen island ($309), Rachael Ray 12-piece cookware set ($174), espresso machine ($270) and a Ninja blender ($160).

When her fab parties end, someone gets to clean up with the Dyson vacuum ($250) Ang and Chris are eyeing.

The most expensive item on the registry -- probably no shocker to 'JS' fans ... Angelina's most favored hair dryer. It's a Dyson Supersonic Special Edition that goes for a whopping $400.

Let's not forget she also picked a 2-piece vanity set ($250) -- after all, ya gotta look tight on TV to keep that dough rolling. One last thing ... we know JWoww's far from Angelina's BFF after the debacle with Jenny's now-ex-boyfriend, but she'd approve of at least one registry item.

Ang is looking to score a Google Nest indoor security cam ($200). It's the same camera JWoww had rolling when her ex, Roger Mathews, apparently tossed her to the ground ... pretty much ending their marriage.

No jinx, Chris and Ang.

Jennifer Lawrence is not so single, but very ready to mingle with her wedding guests after her private jet touched down safely in Rhode Island.

JLaw and art gallerist Cooke Maroney arrived Friday after a short flight from NYC ... one day ahead of their wedding. Far from a bridezilla, Jennifer carried her own bags -- some of 'em, at least -- to a waiting SUV. No obvious signs her bridal gown was on board. It's likely it was sent ahead of the couple.

Cooke, who popped the question back in February, was sporting a smile as he deplaned ... several healthy steps behind his bride-to-be. Every groom knows ... no one's looking at them on the big day.

BTW, there's a reason JLaw's got on her game face here -- it's gonna be one helluva wedding. As we first reported, the menu alone sounds worthy of some Michelin-starred restaurants.

The couple no doubt went all out ... from hiring celeb wedding planner Mark Seed for the 150-guest ceremony to doling out specialty cocktails.

Bottoms up!
