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.

1:30 PM PT -- They're officially bros now.

11:00 AM PT -- Thor is on his way to Colton!

Colton Underwood has a new roommate ... and it's an adorable one.

The 'Bachelorette' star is the proud new owner of a 2-year-old German Shepherd rescue ... the dog was destined for the meat markets of Asia before a non-profit org saved him and brought him to San Diego.

Colton made a donation to Bunny's Buddies, and they set him up with the pup. The ex-NFL stud was united with his new friend Saturday and changed his name from Tor to Thor.

A Southern Resident killer whale whose calf died shortly after birth last month was finally seen swimming without the carcass 17 days later ... according to scientists, who say her "tour of grief" is over.

The Center for Whale Research announced Saturday that the mother orca in question -- who goes by both Tahlequah and J35 -- was seen swimming solo near British Columbia with her pod chasing a school of salmon ... the first time she'd been seen without the body of her deceased calf since July 24.

Scientists say the whale refused to part with the carcass for a whopping 17 days, in what they described as severe grieving. The CWR says mother whales have been known to transport their dead calves for up to a week at a time, but this case was unprecedented.

Dog is man's best friend ... escalators are not dog's best friend, which is why this video of Dennis Quaid's dog on an escalator is so interesting.

We got Dennis and his bulldog, Peaches, Monday at LAX, and the actor strolled up to the escalator and he showed no remorse about the pooch hopping on for the ride.

Dennis clearly loves his pet, but we did some research and the ASPCA actually put out a warning a few years back about the dangers of dogs on people movers. They've been known to cause serious injuries to dogs, including amputations.

In fact, one pooch had to be rescued earlier this year at LAX.

The little girl who was allegedly bitten by Kendall Jenner's dog has a powerful grandfather who is furious at Kendall and BF Ben Simmons, saying they were "arrogant" and uncaring that his granddaughter was allegedly attacked.

Divorce attorney Bob Cohen, who has repped a bunch of celebs, tells TMZ, his 5-year-old granddaughter and her mom were going into a deli where Ben, Kendall and her Doberman Pinscher were sitting outside. Cohen says the dog lunged without provocation and bit the little girl on the arm, breaking the skin and drawing a small amount of blood.

A source close to Kendall refutes Cohen, saying the dog never bit the girl. We're told the dog was startled by the girl and barked ... but there was no physical contact.

He says Kendall and Ben never asked if the girl was ok ... Cohen says they just booked it, leaving the girl behind.

Our Kendall source says the two left after they determined there was no bite ... they'd never bail on a serious situation.

Cohen, who says his family has known the Kardashians over the years, says it's "the height of arrogance" that Kendall and Ben were so uncaring. He says the girl went to a pharmacy where the pharmacist cleaned the wound and put some sort of medicine on the wound. He says the girl is at the doctor now.

Cohen tells us there will not be a lawsuit, but he's pissed at the way Jenner handled it.

Trevor Donovan is fed up with “greedy breeders” who are too cheap to test dogs for a disease that leaves the animals’ hind legs paralyzed ... a disease his own German Shepherd is battling.

TMZ caught up with Trevor when the actor was out with his pups, Dogbert and Tito. Dogbert suffers from degenerative myelopathy -- a progressive disease of the spinal cord.

The "90210" alum told us the disease is totally preventable, but he's pissed because too many breeders pass on a simple lab test.

Here's Kendall Jenner, Ben Simmons and her Doberman Pinscher just out grabbing a quick bite, right before things allegedly went south with a little girl.

TMZ broke the story, Kendall's pup allegedly nipped at the girl Sunday morning at Beverly Glen Deli in Los Angeles. Someone at the deli called 911, but police didn't respond because there were no serious injuries.

You can see the dog seemed pretty friendly with another customer as Kendall and Ben arrived.

8/6 -- A source close to Kendall tells us her dog never made contact with the child -- it was startled by the little girl -- and it never bit her. We're told Kendall didn't leave the deli until she was sure the dog didn't bite the girl as there were no physical injuries.

Kendall Jenner had cops called on her this weekend while out with her boyfriend, Ben Simmons, after her dog allegedly bit a little girl.

Law enforcement sources tell us a call to LAPD came in Sunday morning regarding a dog bite at the Beverly Glen Deli in L.A. that was allegedly inflicted by Kendall's Doberman Pinscher.

We're told a mother and her young daughter were eating on the patio of the restaurant -- where Kendall and Ben were also seated -- when for some reason her harnessed dog nipped the girl. Sources say there were no obvious puncture wounds from the bite, so the deli's staff simply administered ice from inside for her injury.

We're told when the mother came back outside to confront Kendall and Ben, they'd already paid their bill and vanished -- leaving behind no contact info or note.

Derby the dog showed how it's done Saturday at the Dog Surfing Championship at Linda Mar Beach in Pacifica, California.

Derby was decked out in shades and a life vest as he shot the curl. The waves were only moderately gnarly, but hey ... they're dogs so it's super impressive.

Check out the photo gallery ... a lab, a golden retriever, a pug, a terrier and garden variety mutts tried their paws at hanging 10.

There were different weight classes -- small, medium, large and very large. And get this ... there was even a tandem dog competition. One clearly rode bitch. And there was a human/dog pairing, too.

Bullseye the Target Dog is livin' the dream ... and just can't relate to that poor Colombian police dog that has a bullseye on her head because she can sniff out cocaine better than any other pooch.

We saw the famous mascot at LAX Thursday and wondered what Bullseye's handler thought about the German Shepherd that was taken off the cocaine beat after a $70k bounty was put on her head.

DJ Khaled channeled his inner goat to push his favorite rum, and the result is this hilarious campaign.

The mega hit maker is featured in this new ad for Bumbu Rum, and we're told they hired Khaled to marry his positive vibes with an activity that promotes the same thing. Enter goat yoga.

We're told Khaled enjoyed the little taste of yoga he got so much, he's thinking about hiring his own instructor.

Khaled tells TMZ ... "I am always progressing, I am always becoming. There’s always room for growth and development. Always strive to be the G.O.A.T. in everything you do. Be the G.O.A.T. friend, the G.O.A.T. business partner, the G.O.A.T. team member, the G.O.A.T. to your significant other."

Who's a good boy?!? Lionel Messi's dog, apparently.

The 31-year-old soccer superstar played a little keep-away from his furry friend in his yard Monday ... and it's all fun and cute -- until you realize the dog could end him at any time.

Hulk (appropriately named) is a Dogue de Bordeaux ... and weighs well over 100 pounds. If you're unfamiliar, Messi is pocket-sized, standing at 5'7" and weighing just 159 lbs.

So, neat tricks, Lionel ... but all of Argentina would probably be happier with a nice game of fetch.

Colombian narcotics officer Sombra -- a decorated German Shepherd -- is on the run after one of the most powerful drug cartels put a $70k bounty on her furry head.

According to reports, the Urabeños drug gang, Colombia's most feared criminal organization, put the hit on Sombra after the 6-year-old pooch recently sniffed out nearly 10 TONS of cocaine in 2 separate busts. Who's a good doggie??

Sombra (Shadow in English) had been working Colombia's port cities, but officials have moved her beat to the Bogota airport because it's outside the Urabeños turf. Translation: She's on desk duty, for her own safety.

The gang is known for taking out hits on its enemies, but usually in the hundreds of dollars.

Stormy Daniels is champing at the bit to destroy a family horse business, of course, of course ... according to a new suit.

A married Texas couple who run Pegasus Eventing claim Stormy's been on the warpath to trash their reputation and ruin their careers due to the deaths of a few of her horses ... but they say her accusations are outright slanderous.

According to the docs ... Stormy and her husband, Glendon Crain, were boarding as many as 7 horses with Pegasus, and one of them named Bailey tragically died in a flash flood in 2015. Stormy allegedly kept working with Pegasus after the flood, but removed her horses from their stables about a year later when another horse named Ziggy suffered an injury in a hail storm.

Pegasus claims, after Stormy pulled her horses and started boarding them elsewhere, Ziggy and another one of her horses died in a freak galloping collision ... which Stormy blamed on Ziggy's injury while at Pegasus.

According to the suit ... Stormy then went on a social media smear campaign against the Pegasus owners, accusing the wife of being "autistic and mentally challenged" and calling the husband a drunk. She also allegedly claimed the couple kills horses with no regret, denies them proper vet care and drugs them.

The Pegasus couple, repped by Christine Renne, says these allegations are all lies, and the lies are ruining their business. They're suing Stormy and her husband for up to a million bucks.

Stormy's lawyer, Michael Avenatti, says the lawsuit is "complete nonsense and entirely bogus."

Taylor Swift is going all in on this cats thing, not only starring in the "Cats" movie ... but making some cash off her actual pet cats.

Every Swiftie knows Taylor's 2 cats, Olivia Benson and Dr. Meredith Grey ... and now Taylor is making cash off their fame. She applied for a trademark, "Meredith & Olivia Swift" ... and she's already slapped it on a bunch of merch.

Taylor's website features the feline logo on shirts, earrings, pens, and makeup cases ... but the docs indicate there's way more to come. She's applied to put the kitty names on musical recordings, jewelry, handbags, cushions and pillows, clothing ... it goes on ... and on.

Most notably ... there's a possibility of a Meredith & Olivia live show ... based on Taylor's application. Brace yourself.

It was just announced Taylor's been cast in the upcoming "Cats" film, based on the play. Word is she might play Bombalurina ... the flirtatious cat who breaks up with lots of boy cats and then writes songs about them.

Hall of Fame jockey Victor Espinoza was sent to the hospital this weekend after a horse he was riding died on the track ... and the scene looked brutal.

Victor was hospitalized with multiple injuries Sunday in Del Mar, California after his horse, Bobby Abu Dhabi, went into cardiac arrest while training ahead of multiple scheduled races. The horse's owner, Brian Trump, confirmed the horse had died.

Based on video of the immediate aftermath of the fall -- obtained by TMZ Sports -- it appears Victor was lying motionless for a while before getting help.

As for his status now, he's said to be experiencing shoulder soreness and numbness -- although, he was reportedly conscious and moving. Safe to say, he's out of Sunday's competition.

Bobby Abu Dhabi had a great run, usually with Victor on his back. He recently took third at Belmont, and placed high (including a couple first place wins) in a number of other races as well.
