The death of Whitney Houston hasn't diminished the marketing value of her ex-boyfriend Ray J -- TMZ has learned the singer just inked a major deal ... to fight the war on ingrown hairs.

Ray J is officially the new face of Prince Reigns shaving serum ... and according to the singer's rep, the deal is worth up to $1 million bucks ... though the rep wouldn't divulge the exact terms of the contract.

A rep for the company tells us Sophie Monk signed a similar deal.

Fun Fact -- Ray's former sex tape partner Kim Kardashian has also dabbled in the body hair removal business -- inking a deal of her own with the TRIA laser hair removal system a few years ago.

Octomom may be declaring bankruptcy, but she's still very much the master of her own domain.

Octo has signed on to do a masturbation video ... TMZ has learned. She's hooked up with an online adult entertainment company and will shoot the video this summer. It will be released shortly thereafter -- not a lot of post production, we're told.

As for how much she'll make, it's hush hush, except we're told, "It's a lot more than the $10,000 she made for posing topless."

You'll recall Octo once vowed never to do porn, but she's saying she doesn't consider a masturbation video porn, because it's a solo mission.

Charlie Sheen is not about to have his reputation sullied by strip club customers chowing down on sushi strategically placed on the bodies of almost naked women ... and that's why he threatened to sue New York's Cheetahs Club.

The club named the VIP room after the actor, which did not sit well with him. Charlie threatened suit, claiming the antics damaged his reputation.

The club owner told the New York Post's Page Six, "How could sushi damage Charlie Sheen's reputation?"

Who said losers can't find love -- TMZ has learned, recent "Biggest Loser" quitter Joe Messina tied the knot earlier this month ... and not only did the entire cast attend ... a former contestant actually officiated!

Sources tell TMZ, the small ceremony took place outside on April 14th at a Michigan park -- only a select number of friends and family were invited ... but the tight list included 12 current and former contestants from Season 13 of "Biggest Loser."

Among the "Biggest Loser" attendees -- Buddy and Mark, who famously walked off the show in protest back in February ... and BL finalists Conda and Jeremy.

We're told Buddy officiated the ceremony, Mark said a prayer, and former contestant Gayle made the flowers. All the food at the reception was made using recipes from the "Biggest Loser" cookbook.

If you don't remember Joe, it's probably because the 38-year-old truck driver walked off the show in January because he missed his then-fiancee Anita. The walk-off was unrelated to the mass protest a month later.

We all saw it coming -- Octomom has filed for bankruptcy ... TMZ has learned.

Nadya Suleman filed for Chapter 7 today in federal court -- a month after going on welfare -- meaning she's hopelessly buried in a mountain of debt.

Chapter 7 is the most serious form of bankruptcy -- it's basically when you go belly up -- something Octo is well-familiar with.

Dateline NBC pulled a fast one in a hidden camera investigation last night -- but instead of targeting pedophiles, they took down middle schoolers cheating on a phys ed. test ... and the kids' parents were in on the sting.

Here's the premise: the kids were told they have to complete an obstacle course to audition for an "ultimate challenge" TV show. Unknown to the kids, Dateline is secretly recording the test ... and they've planted an actress who encourages the kids to cheat by inflating their scores. Also, their parents are sitting in a nearby room watching the whole thing go down.

The first time through the course the kids try to stop the actress from lying ... and insist on posting their real results. However, the second time, some of them give in and agree to fudge the numbers.

Natalie Morales then walks out -- playing the Chris Hansen role -- and tells the kids they've been set up to see if they cheat. The shocked looks on their faces are priceless ... especially when they hear their parents were in on it.

Springfield is NOT in Oregon ... or Illinois ... or Delaware ... or Ohio, Nevada or Maine ... so says creator Matt Groening.

Matt was leaving Nobu in Malibu this weekend ... posing for photos and signing autographs ... when our photog asked the cartoon god to finally settle the Springfield debate once and for all.

For years, Simpsons writers have given clues about the true location of Bart's hometown ... but they've never given an official answer.

But last night, Groening FINALLY gave us the answer we were looking for. Maybe.

Former presidential hopeful Rick Santorum did not take a photo WITH Lindsay Lohan last night -- but sources at the White House Correspondents' Dinner tell TMZ ... he took one OF her.

According to our sources inside the party, LiLo was sitting with Fox News personality Greta Van Susteren when Santorum came up to say hello. We're told Lindsay was asked to take a picture of him with Greta using his camera, which she did.

Then ... our sources say Rick asked to take a photo of Lindsay using his camera. Yes ... of just Lindsay.

We're told Lindsay smiled and obliged and Santorum then went on his way.

Our photog asked Rick about the picture after the party ... and he played dumb about the photo.

He might not be running for President any more, but he can't take any chances.

Octomom Nadya Suleman has a competitive uterus ... because she doesn't want any would-be baby machines taking a shot at her birthing title ... and she's sick of them trying.

Octo had some competition recently from Mexico's NueveMom -- who claimed to be pregnant with 9 babies. Her story might not be true, but if it is ... it could have shot Octo's record for most children delivered at a single birth to survive straight out the window.

Octo tells TMZ she's tired of all the Octofakes lately, telling us, "No one will ever take my Octo title, I’m in the Guinness Book Of World Records!"

She goes on to call NueveMom "a fraud" and says she "shouldn't be making a joke about raising a large family. It’s a serious job and takes a lot to take care of my children. She disgusts me."

"Grey's Anatomy" star Patrick Dempsey's rescue mission in Malibu this week was even more badass than we thought -- just take a look at the scene of the accident!!!

TMZ broke the story ... a teenage driver crashed and flipped his Mustang on the road right outside Dempsey's Malibu home -- and the actor came to the rescue, crowbar in hand to pry the doors open.

Dempsey successfully pulled the driver from the wreckage -- a 17-year-old named Weston Massett -- who tells TMZ, when he opened his eyes, the actor was looking right down at him.

Massett asked, "Are you famous?" ... and Patrick coolly replied, "I'm a doctor."

We're told Patrick called Massett's mother and told her about the accident -- keeping her calm the entire time. Massett was then airlifted to a nearby hospital, and Patrick followed to make sure the kid was okay.

Miraculously, Massett suffered no serious injuries -- just a concussion and a "stretched" optic nerve. He's expected to make a full recovery.

There was also a passenger in the car, Dylan Miller, but thankfully we're told Miller suffered no injuries whatsoever.

NueveMom is no mas ... this according to Univision ... which has information that could prove the woman who was allegedly pregnant with 9 babies ... isn't really pregnant at all.

Univision published a report ... claiming a reporter spoke with a Mexican doctor who performed an ultrasound on Karla Vanessa Perez ... and determined her uterus was "empty."

The doctor told a reporter ... she was unaware of any other ultrasounds that may have been performed ... and says the local Health Dept. is trying to find out who told Karla she was pregnant in the first place.

Have no fear ... McDreamy is here ... "Grey's Anatomy" star Patrick Dempsey came to the rescue of a teenage driver, who crashed and flipped his car in Malibu this week ... TMZ has learned.

The accident occurred Tuesday at around 5pm, right next to Dempsey's Malibu pad. A young driver lost control of his Mustang and it overturned repeatedly, crashing into the actor's front yard. We're told the car was TOTALED.

Responding with lightning speed ... McDreamy ran to the wrecked car -- we're told with crowbar in hand -- so he could pry the driver from the vehicle. We're told Patrick was able to get the boy out of the car.

"Road Trip" star Mia Amber Davis -- who famously played the big girl -- was TOO OBESE to have been on birth control pills and died as a result ... this according to her widower, who's suing Mia's doctors.

Mia passed away back in May 2011 as a result of a pulmonary embolism ... one day after undergoing knee surgery.

But in his lawsuit, Mia's widower claims ... in the months before the surgery, Mia's OBGYN prescribed her birth control pills such as Balziva and Zenchent ... "drugs that greatly increase one's risk for a pulmonary embolism, especially when combined with [Mia's] other risk factors."

Mia's widower lists "obesity" as one of Mia's significant risk factors.

Mia's widower claims his wife's doctor SHOULD HAVE suggested condoms or other methods of birth control as an alternative ... because the drugs "greatly increased her risk for a pulmonary embolism and ultimately caused her death."

To make matters worse, Mia's widower claims Mia went to a family practitioner on April 18 to complain about knee pain. The doc allegedly cleared Mia for knee surgery ... despite a number of risk factors, including obesity, hyperlipidemia and the fact she was on Zenchent.

Mia's widower claims the doc "should have advised [Mia] to eliminate some of her other risk factors prior to clearing her for the surgery."

Mia underwent the surgery on May 9 ... and died the next day.

Adios OctoMom ... 'cause there's a lady in Mexico who's reportedly pregnant with NINE KIDS!!!!

According to reports, NueveMom has been identified as Karla Vanessa Perez ... who's one month away from giving birth to 6 girls and 3 boys.

Just like Nadya Suleman, NueveMom reportedly had fertility treatments leading up to the multiple pregnancy.

NueveMom told Mexico's Notimex news agency, "It's very early to think of names for the babies ... first I hope that everything goes well."

So far, it's unclear if Perez is married ... rich ... sane, etc.

11:35 AM PT -- FOOTAGE has just surfaced of the NueveMom on a local Mexican news station -- you gotta check it out!!!

Sources say ... Scarver -- who's currently serving multiple life sentences for multiple murders -- wants to reveal all sorts of details surrounding the Dahmer killing ... including Dahmer's last words.

We're told Scarver plans to reveal the "sick, sadistic mind games and practical jokes" Dahmer played on prison officials and other prisoners during his time in the pokey.

Sources say ... Scarver also wants to share the life lessons he's learned since the killing.

Brian McKnight is the hottest thing in adult entertainment -- because TMZ has learned, the singer was just asked to perform his new X-rated song at the OSCARS OF PORN ... aka the AVN awards ... and that's just the tip of the XXX iceberg.

Sources tell TMZ, AVN offered to fly McKnight out for the lavish awards gala in Vegas next January -- where he'd perform his new jam "If You're Ready to Learn," the adult-themed song that went viral on Tuesday ... containing the lyrics, "Let me show you how your p***y works."

But AVN isn't the only porn company trying to get into some McKnight action -- we're told YouPorn.com has also approached the singer, asking to license the song for its website's background music.

According to sources, several other XXX companies have reached out to McKnight as well, specifically because of the new song -- which McKnight plans to release next week on iTunes.
