Tying The Knot

WNBA stars Brittney Griner and Glory Johnson are NOT cancelling their wedding ... despite the fact they were both arrested for domestic violence this week ... but say they are actively "seeking help."

As we previously reported, the two -- who are set to be married on May 8th -- were busted at their home in Arizona after cops say they attacked each other during a heated argument.

Now, Johnson has issued a statement ... accompanied with a pic of the two looking chummy ... saying, "WE'RE OK! @brittneygriner and I are home, injury-free, and still wedding planning!"

"We know we must set better examples, even during the most trying times, and we are EXTREMELY sorry for all the negative attention we brought to ourselves, our family, and the league."

"We are actively seeking help in order to do BETTER."

'Love & Hip Hop' couple Mendeecees Harris and Yandy Smith might be honeymooning in a federal prison ... because the groom just plead guilty to running a drug ring in upstate NY.

Harris struck a plea deal in the case, and will now face 5 to 40 years in the federal pen, and/or a fine of $5 million. The feds nailed him for a drug trafficking operation that shipped cocaine and heroin to Rochester for 7 years.

Harris will remain free on bail until his sentencing in August -- good thing for him ... since he and Yandy are getting married next month on "Love & Hip Hop Live: The Wedding." By the way, he also has to surrender all his paychecks from 'LHH.'

Drake all but confirmed Nicki Minaj is going to marry Meek Mill ... and he did it onstage with Nicki and a VERY big ring.

Drake was performing at Coachella when Nicki jumped onstage where he began heaping praise on her, then congratulated her. He wasn't specific about her achievement, but when the 2 hugged, the ring on her finger is unmistakable.

Nicki posted a pic of the ring on her finger last week, but didn't really say anything about it. Meek posted, "I wish every night could feel like last night."

Rapper YC has been granted a stay of execution -- the ex-fiancee he cheated on the night before they were supposed to get married ... is willing to give him a second chance with one BIG condition.

YC's lady, Tia Anderson tells TMZ ... the wedding could be back on IF he can stop creeping behind her back -- particularly when he's about to walk down the aisle! We broke the story -- Tia called off their Las Vegas ceremony last month when she caught him messing with a bartender.

Tia says she and YC haven't seen each other since things blew up less than 3 weeks ago, but they are texting and talking -- and he even sent her roses. He's gonna have to do way more than that.

She says the biggest issue is YC laying off the rapper lifestyle -- meaning, stop surrounding himself with groupies and THOTs. YC claims he's down to do what's necessary -- including couples counseling -- but Tia's still deciding whether she can trust him again.

Translation: His punk ass needs to suffer for a while.

Tip for YC: Record something romantic, instead of songs like "Racks." Also ... stop hooking up with random chicks.

The epic bachelor bash Ray J threw for "Hollywood Hillbillies" star Paul "Tha Pimp" Conolon was so big and beautiful ... it apparently got him banned from Paul's future in-laws' home.

We're told Ray J and David Weintraub were in the hot seat with fiancee Dee Dee Peters' family after they threw a dicey stag party for Paul, who's obsessed with big women. So to fulfill his wish, there were plenty of over-sized strippers at the venue, Pinz Bowling Alley in the San Fernando Valley.

Who said strippers don't come cheap? The whole thing cost $750.

The good news ... Dee Dee and Paul still got married.

We love happy endings.

Tina Knowles is getting hitched for the second time, this time on a fancy yacht ... with Beyonce and Jay Z on board!

Beyonce's 61-year-old mom is marrying 67-year-old actor Richard Lawson on Sunday evening -- and the yacht is cruising around the harbor in Newport Beach, CA.

Everyone is dressed in white, including Blue Ivy. Solange was also there along with other relatives. The boat holds 300, and we're guessing they could fill it to capacity if they want.

Tina and Beyonce showed up around noon to check out the boat. They left together in an SUV before returning for the ceremony.

Rapper YC -- aka Yung Chris -- just learned fidelity is a key part of marriage ... especially the night before your wedding.

YC and his GF of 5 years, Tia Anderson ... decided to elope at the end of March, and invited a handful of family and friends to join them at the Bellagio in Vegas. What they didn't plan on was the smokin' hot bartender.

YC's rep Kali Bowyer says Tia spotted YC -- best known for his hit, "Racks" -- getting handsy with a hotel bartender on Friday night ... and immediately pulled the plug on the Saturday ceremony.

YC's telling friends nothing happened with the drink-slinger, but admits it was heading in that direction. Not that it matters to Tia ... the damage was done.

As for the ring -- we're told Tia's keeping it. If YC's looking for ice ... try the bartender.

His name is Barry
He's got a ring on
And husband Garry's got one too
We all scratched and said "Who knew?"

Barry Manilow was belting out one of his many hits at the MGM Grand in Vegas with a shiny wedding ring on his finger.

The pic doesn't show it, but we're guessing he's excited that it's out he married his longtime manager Garry Kief last year.

Now we know who Barry can't smile without.

One photo had 'Bachelor' fans losing it ... thinking Josh Murray was rebounding from Andi Dorfman by banging famed virgin Ashley Iaconetti -- but we've learned her chastity is fully intact.

Quick backstory ... Josh was engaged to ex 'Bachelorette' Andi, but they split up in January. Ashley was a cast-off from the most recent 'Bachelor' -- best known for flaunting her virginity.

Fast-forward to Monday night ... Josh meets Ashley at a NYC sports bar -- along with a bevy of hot chicks -- then posts an Instagram with her cozying up to him. He was instantly flooded by fans sounding off -- some happy about the hook-up, but others taking it as a diss to Andi.

Ashley tells TMZ everyone can chill because they're not dating. She says ... yes, Josh reached out to her ... and yes, she thought he was cool, but she viewed it as a group date (she brought 2 GFs for backup). So, hardly romantic and definitely bang-free.

Andi can take a little solace, since our sources say she thought the pic was a "low blow" from Josh.

As for whether Josh and Ashley have a 2nd date? Based on the proximity of her boobs to his back ... we'd guess there's a good chance.

Here's your 2-minute Matthew Stafford wedding recap -- where the Detroit Lions QB and his wife Kelly breakdown their entire insane weekend in 120 seconds.

Among the topics:
-- The free Nike giveaway to party guests
-- The honeymoon plans
-- Some of the best gifts they got
-- Close up shots of Kelly's massive ring

The Staffords are great -- in fact, Kelly was still wearing her custom "Mrs." baseball cap from the reception while strolling through LAX on Tuesday.

There's more ... Matt also reacts to the crap he got from a Detroit media outlet last month for not clapping enough during Michigan State vs. Oklahoma game.

Matt Stafford is officially a married man -- tying the knot with longtime girlfriend Kelly Hall ... and every single guest got a FREE PAIR OF NIKES!!!!

The two got married in a lavish ceremony in Atlanta on Saturday night -- in front of friends, family members and several Detroit Lions teammates including Golden Tate (pictured below) and Joe Fauria (above left).

But the coolest part (besides the couple getting married) ... was the wedding swag -- a free pair of Nikes to every guest and a custom airbrushed trucker hat for all.

At the end of the night, the couple got into what appeared to be a vintage Rolls-Royce ... and well, you know what happens next -- TOUCHDOWN!!!

Mazel!

11:25 AM PT Sources close to Rosie say everything is fine between Jason and her. They say the ring is NOT an engagement ring ... it's a family heirloom she sometimes wears. As for their relationship, "Things are 100% fine. They still plan to move in together in their new home." As for who the dude is, they say it's just a friend.

This is weird, at least on the surface. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was holding hands with some dude Friday night, and it definitely wasn't her rumored fiancé Jason Statham.

Rosie was leaving The Nice Guy nightclub in WeHo ... we don't know who the guy is, but they sure seem chummy.

It got our attention, because just last week we broke the story Jason and Rosie went halfsies on a $13 million Bev Hills estate. And she's been wearing what sure looks like an engagement ring ... but last night, no ring.

Memories Pizza -- the first Indiana business to declare it would refuse LGBT business -- got blasted on the Internet and by phone, but the owner says there's been a huge misunderstanding ... sorta.

Kevin O’Connor tells TMZ he's had to temporarily close his business after he told a reporter he would refuse to cater a gay wedding under Indiana's new Religious Freedom Restoration Act. O'Connor says he was immediately flooded by threatening phone calls, and social media postings.

O'Connor wants to clear up one thing: He says he would never deny service to gay people in his restaurant. However, due to his religious beliefs, he does not believe in gay marriage ... and that's why he wouldn't service one.

Meanwhile, he says the threats have been serious enough that he's closing his pizza joint ... at least until the dust settles.

David Arquette is an artist at heart ... even with ass in his face -- and the freshly tagged wall of a Vegas strip club proves it.

Our stripper sources tell us ... Arquette and his boys were at the Hustler Las Vegas last weekend for his bachelor party -- but instead of draining their bank accounts for lap dances .. they went outside and put a fresh layer of graffiti on the side of the club.

David's been dabbling in graffiti, and as a Hustler L.V. regular ... we're told the club manager gave him and his crew the green light to tag at will. The whole thing took about an hour, but David's no fool ... his posse went inside for few dances before calling it a night.

At least that's the story they're telling his fiancee, Christina McLarty.

Gilbert Arenas is being sued by his longtime girlfriend Laura Govan -- the mother of his 4 kids -- who claims Gilbert kicked her out of their L.A. mansion and then sold off her $1 million engagement ring.

TMZ Sports has obtained court docs filed by Govan ... in which she claims her and Gilbert are in the middle of a NASTY split.

In the docs, the "Basketball Wives LA" star claims she started dating Gilbert in 2002 ... before he made nearly $200 million in NBA contract money.

The two never had a formal wedding, but Laura claims they "lived together as husband and wife" and Gilbert promised that she would "share equally" in all of his earnings from 2003 on ... as if they were legally married.

Govan says the relationship fell apart around the end of 2014 ... when Gilbert "notified [Laura] to vacate the premises" of their home.

To make matters worse, Laura says Gilbert then "forcefully took" the $1 million engagement ring he gave to her in 2008 and sold it without her permission.

Now, Laura says she wants her cut of the Arenas fortune -- which she says includes profits from a number of marijuana clinics which she says Gilbert owns.

Cincinnati Bengals superstar A.J. Green is officially a married man -- after tying the knot at a SICK star-studded wedding in Georgia ... complete with a hip-hop dance routine featuring his bride.

With teammates like Andy Dalton, Carlos Dunlap and Mohamed Sanu in attendance, Green married his longtime girlfriend Miranda Brooke at the historic 200 Peachtree venue in Atlanta.

The highlights:
-- A.J. had a "Hot Dawg" stand
-- There was a masquerade dance with cool masks
-- And everyone went crazy when they busted out a traditional "second line" dance

As one person who was there put it, "It was the craziest wedding we've ever been to -- beautiful! So happy for A.J. and Miranda."

Mazel!
