Sofia Richie is a married woman -- she just walked down the aisle to say "I do" alongside her now-husband, Elliot Grainge ... and their parents helped 'em take the big leap.
The model/influencer looked absolutely stunning Saturday during her nuptials at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France ... where Sofia had her father, Lionel Richie, walk her down a pretty long flight of stairs that you can really only find in Europe. Stunning, basically.
As you can see ... SR's bridal gown is pretty traditional, although the part that covers her upper torso is a little more elaborate than your standard dress. Looks like this one wraps around her neck, and leaves her arms and shoulders fully exposed.
The veil was over her face as Lionel escorted her to the bottom of the staircase and her train followed closely behind. Before she made the trek down to the altar, Elliot did so himself ... and he had who appeared to be both his mom and dad helping him through the descent.
Elliot was looking sharp, too, of course with a standard black tux/bowtie. He's got a kippa on -- Elliot is Jewish, so it seems this wedding might've followed some religious customs.
There were some major stars on hand for this as well ... including Sofia's older sister, Nicole Richie, and her husband Joel Madden. Joel's brother, Benji Madden, was also there ... as was his own wife, Cameron Diaz. Of course, Paris Hilton and Carter Reum attended too.
The wedding caps off quite an eventful week for Sofia and co. Remember, on Friday, Sofia and Elliot were in the middle of premarriage festivities -- and there, too, they were looking snazzy in the beautiful European sunshine ... and were hand in hand. Their pre-reception went off without a hitch ... and it seems the real thing followed suit to a T.
Sofia announced her engagement to Elliot a year ago ... and had gone Instagram official the year before that. Word is, though, these two have had a relationship for a long time.
Elliot is a music executive working as the founder and CEO of 10K Projects ... an independent label that has signed the likes of Tekashi 6ix9ine, Trippie Redd, Iann Dior and lots of other big artists. His dad, Lucian, actually heads up Universal Music Group.
So, it's no surprise he came to know Sofia ... they run in the same high-profile circles.
Now, they're husband and wife. Congrats!!!

Kris Jenner, Corey Gamble Coachella Double Date ... W/ Bezos/Sanchez!!!
Kris Jenner was like her kids this weekend -- hitting Coachella with her man, and tagging along with one of the biggest power couples around ... Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez.
The KarJenner matriarch was out in the desert Friday night alongside her partner, Corey Gamble, but they weren't cruising alone -- on the contrary, there were a few private SUVs that pulled up to the VIP entrance area ... and the Amazon founder stepped out as well.
Of course, he was with his lady as well ... and they seemed to be rolling with a small group of friends/couples. Everyone was in their best music festival getups -- JB especially.
They stood around and chitchatted before being led to a secret back route to the main stage ... where they were set to watch Bad Bunny perform for the second weekend in a row as a headliner. Remember, he had a memorable outing days ago with Kendall Jenner.
Unclear if the Gen X crew here was on the grounds earlier in the day or not -- there don't seem to be any pics of them floating around from what we can see ... but they certainly rolled deep for the evening sesh. Gotta imagine they hung it up after that, though.
Anyhoo ... it's an interesting pairing, but not surprising. We already know Kim Kardashian has had face time with Jeff and Lauren -- so it follows that Kris would know them too.
The question, of course, that must be asked when you're chillin' with high rollers like this is ... who picks up the check for a big dinner? Kris is rich, Jeff's way richer -- maybe Corey???
The world may never know ...

Drake Bell Threatens Suicide Because of Trolls ... I'm Not a Sex Offender!!!

Exclusive
- 1.1K shares
Drake Bell is at his breaking point with internet trolls calling him a pedophile, saying they're driving him to the point of suicide, and will have "blood on their hands" if things don't stop.
Bell's been replying to various Twitter accounts over the last few days -- specifically, those calling him "pedo" and claiming he's a registered sex offender -- and trying to defend himself against the false allegations.
Bell tweeted, "Noooo Immmm Nooooooottttt!!!! You people are going to kill me" in reply to someone who called him a sex offender. He responded to another with ... "Nooooo I wasn't!! You people are destroying my life."
In another back-and-forth, one fan wrote, "Let’s not forget he’s a pedo" ... but another actually defended Bell by saying, "He's not though."
Bell eventually chimed in on that convo with, "Do a second of research This is what I have to live with everyday they are literally going to kill me. Bloods on their hands..."
The examples are endless, and clearly, something that's had a serious effect on the actor/singer ... especially in the wake of going missing last week, and his wife filing for divorce.
As for why the trolls are teeing off on him -- remember, Drake was sentenced to 2 years probation back in 2021 after pleading guilty to one felony charge of attempted endangering children. A woman claimed she and Bell started exchanging sexual messages and photos when she was just 15, and eventually met at one of his shows, where she alleges she performed oral sex on him.
Bell did not have to register as a sex offender as a result of that case ... which is why he's so pissed about the repeated tweets accusing him of that.
TMZ broke the story, Bell was reported missing last Friday, and cops considered him "endangered" before they located him several hours later.
Bell's brother had told cops Drake threatened suicide over child custody issues.
His month got worse when we broke the story his estranged wife, Janet, filed for divorce Thursday.
I found out my wife filed for divorce from TMZ...check out my new song https://t.co/34cYh4JsMA
— DrakeBell.ethᵍᵐ (@DrakeBell) April 21, 2023 @DrakeBell
Interestingly enough, Bell also sounded off about his divorce, tweeting, "I found out my wife filed for divorce from TMZ...check out my new song" and dropping a link to his song "Going Away."

Andy Ruiz Ex Claims He Raped, Abused Her ... Boxer Denies Allegations

Exclusive

Andy Ruiz's ex got a temporary restraining order against the star boxer earlier this month ... claiming he raped, abused and terrorized her throughout their relationship, TMZ Sports has learned.
But, Ruiz strongly denies the allegations ... and is adamant he is actually the victim in the case.
Julia Lemus filed for the domestic violence restraining order in San Diego back on April 6 ... alleging Ruiz "sexually, physically, and psychologically abused me, making me feel like feel like I had to walk on eggshells around him" while they were dating.
The 26-year-old -- who was with Ruiz from 2015 through 2022 -- added that Andy physically and emotionally abused their two children as well.
In the documents, she also accused Ruiz of abusing both alcohol and illicit drugs ... causing her to "fear for my life and safety and the lives and safety of my children."
Lemus described several instances of alleged abuse from Ruiz in her restraining order application ... saying the 33-year-old began to get physical with her in 2019 after he beat Anthony Joshua for the heavyweight title.
"He began grabbing me by my upper arms and physically yanking me in order to move me wherever he wanted me to go," Lemus said in the docs. She added he also began to "jokingly" punch her in her arms and legs, leaving her with bruises. She attached photos of the alleged injuries to her application.
Lemus claims in the docs ... earlier this year, Ruiz purchased several guns in Las Vegas and wanted to show them to her -- but when she became uncomfortable with all the firearms around, she said he "proceeded to point an AK-47 at my face." She claimed in the docs that after she told Ruiz to stop, he "told me to 'shut the f*** up,' and then noted that the guns did not have bullets in them and mocked me by telling me I was being dramatic."
Lemus then said beginning around February 2023, Ruiz began to sexually assault her -- forcing himself onto her on at least six occasions.
A temporary restraining order against Ruiz was granted shortly after the application was filed on April 6. It ordered the pugilist to stay at least 100 yards away from Lemus. It also prohibited him from owning any firearms. The court also ordered Lemus to have sole legal and physical custody of the couple's children ... at least until a court hearing scheduled for Monday.
Ruiz, however, filed a response to Lemus' docs in court on Thursday ... saying he "categorically denies that he ever has abused Julia Lemus or his children."
He said in the docs there "is no just reason to separate Ruiz from his" kids -- while adding Lemus is the one who's been violent in the relationship.
The boxer said in February 2020, Lemus stabbed him with a knife -- and attached a photo of the alleged injuries he suffered in the incident. He also said in April 2020, Lemus "entered my hotel room with a loaded gun in her hand, and screamed, 'everybody get the f*** out of here.'" He alleged in the docs Lemus hit one his friends in the head with the gun during the altercation, and then broke furniture in the room.
Ruiz also said in the court docs Lemus slapped, punched, and grabbed him "on multiple occasions."
"Not once did I ever engage in any physical response to Julia's assault," Ruiz said.
Ruiz also accused Lemus of stealing $250,000 worth of jewelry from him last month ... and said in the docs that he had made a report of the theft with police in San Diego.
We've reached out to Ruiz, a 35-2 fighter who's rumored to be Tyson Fury's next opponent, for comment ... but so far, no word back.

Taylor Swift Squad Night Out!!! Fun with Blake, Gigi, Haims
Taylor Swift is getting the band back together ... going out in the Big Apple with Blake Lively, Gigi Hadid and the Haim sisters on the heels of her breakup.
T. Swift and her squad were rolling deep Thursday, hitting up New York City's swanky private club, Zero Bond.
Taylor's been going out in public more and more in the wake of her split from longtime boyfriend Joe Alwyn ... and she's mostly been hanging out in NYC between stops on her Eras Tour.
It's good to see Taylor getting support from her friends now that she's single ... and it's been a while since we've seen her spending time with Blake, Gigi and the Haims.
When we saw Taylor heading out Monday night in SoHo, she appeared to be rolling solo ... and the week before she was third wheeling with pal and longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff and his fiancée, actress Margaret Qualley.
Now, the girls are back in town ... and they have plenty to talk about. Meanwhile, Joe's across the pond in London, where he's looking frazzled.
Taylor returning to NYC between her concert dates also makes it seem like she's cooking up some new music ... because she previously hit up the Electric Lady recording studio.
She's back on the road tonight for the first of 3 straight shows in Houston, and it looks like she got a grand send-off from her best girlies.
No word who picked up the check. 😂

Drake Bell's wife is throwing in the towel on their marriage ... because she just filed to divorce the actor.
The "Drake & Josh" star's estranged wife, Janet Von Schmeling, booked it to court this week and filed for divorce after 4 years of marriage ... according to new legal docs.
In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Janet says they separated back in September ... and she's going with the usual irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.
Drake and Janet have one child together, one-year-old Wyatt Bell, and the docs say Janet is seeking primary legal and physical custody of their kid. She wants Drake to be granted visitation rights.
Janet's also seeking spousal support.
The divorce filing comes on the heels of Drake being reported missing by police in Florida earlier this month ... with a family member calling cops and claiming Drake was threatening suicide in response to child custody issues with Janet.
Drake was hanging with his son the day before police said he was MIA and "considered missing and endangered."
Ultimately, Drake was found safe and sound and police say deputies took action to ensure Drake received a mental health evaluation.

Joe Alwyn Single Guy in London ... First Sighting After Taylor
Taylor Swift's ex-boo Joe Alwyn is at least tryin' to shake it off ... surfacing in public for the first time since news broke of their split.
The actor was spotted Thursday in central London ... nearly 2 weeks after the world found out their 6-year relationship was over. He was taking some calls while strolling and, honestly, the dude looks like he ain't getting much sleep.
Hard to say if the frazzled look is related to life A.T. (after Taylor) -- he could be upset about the breakup, or he could just be enjoying his new life as a single guy.
As you know, their split rocked the world of Swifties, but it was reportedly an "amicable" ending. Of course, that isn't always how things go for TS -- with her often taking the drama of a nasty breakup and turning it into a hit song.
Following the split, we've seen Taylor out a few times in NYC, even grabbing dinner with her pal Jack Antonoff ... and putting in some work at a recording studio -- all as she's neck-deep in her Eras Tour.
If you compare their public outings ... Taylor at least seems to be handling the life change a little better than Joe.
Word of advice to him -- stay out of coffee shops, those Taylor tunes will hit differently now.

Ariana Madix Jokes About Love Triangle with Tom & Raquel!!! Deleted 'Vanderpump' Clip
Here's some awkward foreshadowing of 'Scandoval' ... a "Vanderpump Rules" scene off the editing room floor showing Ariana Madix, Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss joking about being in a ménage à trois!
It's a wild vid, knowing what we know now ... it shows all 3 of 'em posing for pics together in a hot tub before Raquel says these photos must stay on Tom's phone, and can't be shared with anyone.
Ariana's reaction is pretty eye-opening -- "It looks like we're in a throuple." 👀
Tom and Raquel didn't have any visible reaction after she said that, but the timing of this scene is pretty shocking. Bravo aired the previously deleted clip ... which was shot last August in Mexico, where they were all attending Scheana Shay's wedding.
Twitter's having a field day with the clip -- some point out he couldn't keep his eyes off Raquel in the hot tub, while another called it "Beyond gross."
As we all know, Ariana later found out her words had some truth. We broke the story ... Tom and Ariana broke up after she discovered sexual texts between Tom and Raquel ... who'd been using code names on each other's phones to hide their affair.
We spoke to Tom this week, and he said he's happy Ariana's moving on ... referring to her hookup with a new guy at Coachella.

Shawn Mendes, Camila Cabello Fully Back Together After Coachella Hookup!!!
Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello didn't just hook up for old time's sake at Coachella ... they seem fully back together, and we know that from a 3-second video shot Wednesday!
Shawn and Camila were hand-in-hand, strolling down a street in Santa Monica ... near a bank of restaurants.
As we reported, they met up at Coachella last weekend and were smooching, hugging and dancing ... but the prevailing view was it was a one-off after their breakup a year ago.
Not the case -- clearly. Here's the mystery ... did they just happen to see each other at Coachella, was there planning, and could they have gotten back together even before the music festival?
S&C first began dating in July 2019, and quarantined together during the pandemic.
There was lots of buzz he recently hooked up with his chiropractor, Dr. Jocelyne Miranda, but that doesn't appear to be the case ... Jocelyne was at Coachella with Shawn and saw it all -- highly unlikely they were anything more than friends.
Anyway ... glad to have you to back!!!

David Charvet, known as Matt Brody on "Baywatch" and Craig Field on "Melrose Place," is being investigated for allegedly making criminal threats ... after an apparent blowout with his ex-GF.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the actor's a suspect in a recent criminal threats report made by ex-girlfriend Katie Boskovich. We're told the 2 recently called it quits but got into a heated discussion last week, arguing about each other's lifestyles.
We're told Boskovich claimed at one point in the argument, David said that this won't end well for her -- which apparently made her fearful. She filed a police report and now the LAPD is investigating the incident.
We're told this will probably land in the prosecutor's office once the investigation wraps and they'll make a decision on whether to file a case or not.
TMZ broke the story, David and his ex-wife Brooke Burke finalized their divorce in 2020, agreeing to a 50/50 split of physical and legal custody of their kids. We also saw David packing on some PDA with another woman in St. Barts about a year before getting divorced.

Jonathan Majors Report: More Alleged Victims Coming Forward ... Attorney Says He's Innocent
There appears to be a reason why Jonathan Majors is being cut from projects as his team jumps ship ... he reportedly has more alleged abuse victims waiting in the wings.
The alleged victims are coming forward and cooperating with the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, according to Variety.
Majors' lawyer Priya Chaudhry tells TMZ ... "Jonathan Majors is innocent and has not abused anyone. We have provided irrefutable evidence to the District Attorney that the charges are false. We are confident that he will be fully exonerated."
As we reported, Majors was arrested last month in New York City for misdemeanor assault, aggravated harassment, attempted assault, and harassment after allegedly slapping his girlfriend in the back of a taxi cab.
Variety reports the alleged incident is just the tip of the iceberg ... which explains why honchos in the entertainment industry are distancing themselves from the "Creed III" star.
Remember ... in the wake of his arrest, Majors was dropped by his management team, and a major PR firm pulled the plug on working with him. He's also been uninvited from the upcoming Met Gala.
Majors' attorney claims the alleged victim from the NYC arrest texted the actor after he got busted to say ... "she was the one who used physical force against him."
As you know, Majors has been working nonstop in Hollywood lately ... he's set up to be the next big villain in the MCU after starring in the recent 'Ant-Man' movie.
But, with other alleged victims reportedly waiting in the wings ... it appears the hits could keep coming for Majors.

Johnny Manziel's GF Dom. Violence Claims Are Bogus ... My Account Was Hacked
-
Exclusive Details
- 28 shares
Johnny Manziel's girlfriend, Kenzie Werner, says the former Heisman Trophy winner did NOT abuse her ... claiming a post on her social media page Tuesday night that said otherwise was the result of hackers -- and nothing more.
The Instagram Story went up on Werner's IG at around midnight ... and it was extremely graphic.
The post showed four pictures of Werner with various injuries on her face and her body. In one, she had bruises on her breast. In another, she had blood near her nose. The others showed markings around her eyes.
The caption on the post read, "this is from johnny manziel." It also featured a link to Manziel's Instagram page. The story remained up for a few minutes ... before it was taken down.
Werner, though, said in a new post on Wednesday afternoon she had nothing to do with it all ... writing, "was hacked last night. just got my account back. please disregard what was posted. it isn't as it seems."
Tyler Terry, a rep for Werner, tells TMZ Sports ... the photos were not related to Manziel or their relationship at all. The rep was emphatic that the former Cleveland Browns quarterback has never abused her.
We're also told the injuries shown in the pics were not related to domestic violence -- they were a result of an accident at work, where a three-liter bottle of champagne fell on her.
Manziel and Werner have been dating since at least early 2022 ... and have appeared to be a strong couple the entire time.
In fact, the two just recently took a vacation to Miami, where they joked about a bird taking a crap on the ex-NFL player's head while they were relaxing on a beach.
We're also told the two were together in Arizona in the hours prior to Tuesday night's post ... showing no signs of issues whatsoever.

Yung Miami Diddy & I Are DONE Dating ... But We're Still Friends!!!
Yung Miami is confirming her whirlwind and very public relationship with Diddy is no more -- but not without clarifying a few things, including why she got "Pee Diddy" trending!!!
The City Girls rapper sat down with "The Cut" as its newest cover star ... claiming she and Diddy remain friends, even after ending their romantic entanglement.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

The pair were inseparable at one point in time, frequently spotted together at award shows and parties, and Diddy also helped launch Miami's podcast career on his Revolt TV network ... which opened up speculation about their sex life.
On one episode of her award-winning "Caresha Please" series, Miami fawned about her love for golden showers in the bedroom ... but, in the interview, she says that didn't necessarily mean it was the Bad Boy mogul who was raining over her.
And while she and Diddy are over, Miami says she plans on making "Caresha Please" a household name like Rihanna's Fenty.

Raquel Leviss had an awkward first encounter with Tom Sandoval's mom, who knew all about their secret affair ... and we're told the meeting wasn't even supposed to go down.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Raquel took another trip to St. Louis -- Tom's hometown -- in January, following her first outing the month before. They were at a bar with his friends when the place abruptly had to close due to an ice storm warning in the area.
The group decided to take shelter at Tom's mom's house, which was nearby ... making it the first time Raquel had ever met her -- and yes, his mom Terri knew all about their affair.
We're told Terri wasn't cool with their situation but was cordial during the quick exchange. Tom didn't introduce Raquel as his GF, despite the fact Terri already knew.
The group ended up spending the night ... and Tom and Raquel ended up in the same room.
TMZ broke the story, Raquel made her first St. Louis trek at the end of December, with Tom giving her a tour of the city ... but we were told his family had no interest in meeting her, especially knowing what was going on behind the scenes.
We got Tom out on Tuesday and he said it's time for people to move on from Scandoval. He also blasted Miraval Resorts and Spas this week after they seemingly implied he'd be staying at one of their Arizona hotels ... and to connect the dots, Raquel checked into a mental health facility last week, with some speculating that's where she went with him in tow.

Tom Sandoval claims a few of his cast members keep stoking the fire sparked by his affair with Raquel Leviss, and he's calling 'em out for it -- but he also says he's thrilled his ex Ariana Madix has a new man.
We got Tom Tuesday at LAX, and it's obvious he's feeling drained by the whole 'Scandoval.' Of course, most fans won't feel sorry for him, and what he told us probably won't help his case either.
He clearly has beef with some unnamed female "Vanderpump Rules" costars for "perpetuating" all the drama, at least that's how he sees it.
We also asked him about Ariana hooking up with a guy at Coachella over the weekend -- a guy she also drove to LAX for a farewell make out session. Tom, believe it or not, says he's totally cool with it ... and even seems genuinely thrilled for her.
He says all he wants is for Ariana to be happy. 🤷🏽♂️
Tom also doubled down on his frustration with Miraval Resorts and Spas in AZ.
As we reported, the company strongly hinted Sandoval was going to be staying there ... which sparked speculation Raquel was also staying there while getting mental health treatment. Sandoval says he expected better from such a ritzy destination.
