Tying The Knot

Black Veil Brides singer Andy Biersack and Juliet Simms secretly tied the knot ... for the second time.

Talk about a long con -- sources tell us the singers actually got married years ago. We pulled a copy of their marriage license, and sure enough ... it says they did the deed in 2012.

TMZ broke the story ... the couple wed (again) in an undercover ceremony last weekend -- which most people thought was their first go 'round.

We're told their close friends and families were in the know. Last weekend's ceremony was purely to go public for fans.

Ex-NFL star Kerry Rhodes is officially showing off ... showing off his super hot fiancee -- "Hall Pass" actress Nicky Whelan -- and her impressive engagement ring on a night out in NYC.

Kylie Jenner and Blac Chyna's war came to an end when big sis Kim Kardashian stepped in to play peacemaker.

Sources close to Blac Chyna tell TMZ she got a call from Kim several weeks ago to hash out the drama over her and Rob Kardashian's engagement. Chyna obliged and went to Kim's pad for the sit-down.

We're told they both agreed there was no reason for family beef over Rob and Chyna getting hitched -- since the more important point was Rob being happy, and getting out of the house again.

The peace summit also covered Tyga -- y'know, the fact he's dating Kylie and is also Chyna's baby daddy. We're told Kim made it clear the time was right for the ladies to chat.

A few days later Kylie and Chyna talked on the phone, which led to Thursday's face-swapping Snapchat session -- and an agreement to squash all beef.

Rob Kardashian is now FULLY out of his shell ... he just talked to us about everything under the sun -- his wedding, his weight loss, and his biggest vice with Blac Chyna.

BlacRob just touched down at LAX -- returning from weekend appearances in NYC and Boston -- and he was a regular chatty Cathy. He addressed the story TMZ broke about producers making big money offers for them to televise their wedding.

Sounds like they're not impressed with any of the deals. Yet.

Rob also says he's dropped 40-50 lbs. so far, but he's not even counting anymore because he's too busy being happy. Just watch -- honestly, it's been years, if ever, since we've seen Rob this talkative.

He even broke some news to us about his driver license -- and let's just say Uber's gonna love him!

Seattle Seahawks safety Earl Thomas got married like a king this weekend -- with an actual CROWN on his head ... and that wasn't even the best part!

Andy Biersack -- lead singer of rock band Black Veil Brides -- and Juliet Simms will tie the knot Saturday in a secret wedding ceremony. Oops.

The couple got engaged on the downlow a few months back and will seal the deal this afternoon in front of a select group of friends, family and bandmates.

Simms -- runner-up on season 2 of "The Voice" -- has been dropping Instagram hints for months.

We're told the couple dropped off their pooch at The Wagmor Luxury Pet Hotel Thursday on their way out of LA. They're keeping the location super secret.

The Lyon family is gonna need another seat at the table ... because "Empire" co-stars Trai Byers and Grace Gealey tied the knot in a very real wedding.

The private ceremony and reception went down Thursday at a mansion on Grand Cayman Island ... the guest list was limited to close friends and relatives ... none of their "Empire" co-stars attended.

Guests dined in style -- steak and lobster -- and danced to hip-hop, disco and, of course, reggae.

#Congratulations

Rob Kardashian is pooh-poohing stories that his family is upset he's getting hitched to Blac Chyna ... he says it's the opposite.

Rob and Chyna had just left a Century City building after a "business meeting" and beelined it for a gas station convenience store to get some snacks, when the photog asked about the deafening lack of response by the Kardashian klan.

From Russia with love -- Lindsay Lohan is engaged to be married to her 22-year-old boyfriend.

We're told Russian heir Egor Tarabasov popped the question over the weekend, and LiLo said ... Da.

As we've told you ... 29-year-old Lindsay and Egor started dating about 5 months ago, and got serious pretty quickly. Egor spent the holidays in NY with the Lohan fam, who gave him the stamp of approval.

Egor, whose father is a multi-millionaire businessman, met Linds through mutual friends at a party.

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna are in position to follow in Kim's footsteps and cash in with a TV wedding special worth millions, but Rob's gonna have to go against the family to get paid.

Several big-time TV producers tell us pitchmen are putting together offers for Rob and Chyna. We're told the most lucrative path would be an episodic docusoap leading up to the big day. They're looking at $150k-$200k each per episode, plus another $500k each for the finale.

In addition, we're told wedding vendors hawking flowers, cakes, dresses and all that crap would also fork over big dough for integration deals, but Rob's got a big mama problem.

Kris Jenner has the family, including Rob, under a blanket deal that gives E! first crack at anything Kardashian. Kris has made it clear she's not a fan of "Blac Rob" ... so it's doubtful she'd be down with the project.

So, Rob and Chyna would be stepping out on their own -- familiar territory at this point.

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna will be married within a year in front of the entire Kardashian family, or that's at least plan A for the couple ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the couple tell us BC and Rob don't want a long, drawn out engagement -- so they're already talking about ceremony ideas, and even a guest list. We're told they're certain they want Rob's family to be there.

That's an impressive olive branch since, as we told you ... Kris Jenner and Rob's sisters aren't sold the engagement's even real.

As for where they do it -- a quickie wedding makes ya think Las Vegas, and chapels are drooling at the possibility of corralling Rob and his famous fam. Reps at the Little Vegas Chapel are offering "Blac Rob" ... 2 Elvises, 2 showgirls and a pink Caddy convertible for pick up and drop off.

Meanwhile, the Little White Wedding Chapel -- where Britney Spears once married (briefly) -- is aiming high with a helicopter ceremony above the strip. They'll even throw in ground transport with a 14-seat Hummer for the whole family, if they RSVP.

Kanye West is clearly conflicted over Rob Kardashian's engagement to Blac Chyna, but he's stickin' by him because he's family.

'Ye touched down at LAX Friday sporting his famous grin ... and when asked if the Kardashian Klan supported ChyRo, it was all love ... at least for Rob.

Simon Cowell got put on blast when a paparazzo dared to bring up the "M" word while Simon's girlfriend, Lauren Silverman, was feet away -- and you gotta see the ex-'Idol' judge's reaction.

Truth is ... this clip is weird all around. Cowell was partying at Ago in West Hollywood after the "American Idol" finale, but did NOT seem like the guy America came to love/hate.

He talked about crappy old 'Idol' wannabes, replacing Howard Stern and even baby diapers -- and not ONE negative word from the guy ... until the whole marriage thing came up.

The Kardashian family is offended Rob never gave them a heads-up before getting engaged, but they're not that upset, because they think he's just a serial proposer and this one won't stick ... and we're getting this from sources connected with Rob himself.

We're told the Kardashians have heard Rob proclaim his undying love many times before. Our sources say the Kardashians have heard Rob gushing about former GFs Rita Ora and Adrienne Bailon -- and even told his family he proposed to both.

We should say ... we never heard a word about Rob being engaged to either Rita or Adrienne -- and it may not be true -- but we're told that's what he conveyed to his family.

We're told the feeling is that Rob just gets smitten and goes from first date to bended knee at warp speed, and it never works out.

As for Rob's point of view, as happy as he seems with Blac Chyna, we're told he feels resentment toward his family, and that they have not fully embraced his new relationship.

Rob Kardashian is a true romantic at heart, turns out ... he pulled out all the traditional stops for his freshly minted fiancee Blac Chyna.

We're told Rob set the mood by covering the room in Chyna's house where he proposed with hundreds of rose petals -- more than 500 roses died in this stunt.

Rob wasn't done ... he adorned the place with enough candles to light up a Justin Bieber concert at Staples.

Blac Chyna and her mom walked into the room with Rob in tow, when he got down on bended knee to pop the question.

Blac Chyna's response ... "Of course, baby! You know I love you!"

Rob Kardashian blindsided his family ... not giving them a heads up or even a hint about his engagement.

Sources familiar with the situation tell us, Rob went to great lengths to keep Kim and company in the dark. We're told the proposal was "aggressively on the QT."

Our sources say Rob timed the proposal to go down when the family was away. The klan flew to Vail hours before he popped the question to Blac Chyna.
