Tying The Knot

Sorry, impulsive lovebirds -- looking at you Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker -- you're gonna have to help falling in love without Elvis Presley, because corporate is blocking those famous Las Vegas chapels from using his image.

In a move that's gotta have the Vegas wedding biz all shaken up ... Authentic Brands Group is playing the Scrooge, if you will, of love. The company, which handles all licensing for the Elvis estate, fired off cease and desist letters last month to all Vegas chapels.

Make no mistake, quickie nuptials are big money makers for Sin City -- generating about $2 billion each year -- and city officials say "The King" plays a role in a significant number of those ceremonies.

Just ask the newlywed Mr. and Mrs. Barker ... who threw their own Elvis-themed "wedding" back in April. Yes, it turned out they did it just for the pics -- a sort of dry run for their actual wedding(s) -- and the camp of it all, but you get the point. Who doesn't love Elvis-hosted love???

The answer is, apparently, Authentic Brands Group ... which basically said it's now or never for the chapels to knock off all unauthorized use of "Presley's name, likeness, voice image, and other elements" of The King's persona because all of that stuff is trademarked.

If you're wondering ... any Elvis-themed stage productions are still in the clear -- live performances with impersonators are protected under Nevada's right of publicity law.

Jennifer Lopez is finding all sorts of ways to show off her love for her soon-to-be husband Ben Affleck … just ask her manicurist.

J Lo just got a set of fresh nails ... which included the initials "J" and "B" on her ring finger and a heart on her middle finger … courtesy of celebrity manicurist, Tom Bachik.

And, if it wasn't already obvious, Tom let folks on social media know exactly what it stands for in his caption. He wrote, "If you know… then you know 🏹 Jen and Ben forever #couplegoals for the boss @jlo #nailsbytombachik".

Of course, J Lo's huge green diamond ring was the perfect touch to the nail art in the photos.

As we've told you, J Lo announced that she and Ben got engaged (again) back in April --  nearly 20 years after he first asked Jen for her hand in marriage. We spotted that she had been wearing her massive diamond on her ring finger a little before ... and lo and behold!

The longtime lovers first got engaged in 2002, but called it quits in 2004, before they got married. They ended up rekindling about a year ago and the rest is history.

Surely, they have a lot on their plate as they hunt for a house to blend their families together ... and get ready to say "I do".

It pays to have friends in high places -- just ask Ari Emanuel, who got a gaggle of celebs to flock out to the South of France for his wedding ... with Larry David doing the honors!

The co-founder and top dog at WME -- one of the biggest talent agencies in town -- said "I do" to his now-wife Sarah Staudinger in a big bash out in St. Tropez this weekend ... which included family and friends, several of which were A-list celebs that run the gamut of stardom.

Take a look for yourself ... we got Diddy and Tyler Perry there, Emily Ratajkowski and her hubby Sebastian, Elon Musk and of course, LD -- who officiated the nuptials from a stage and podium.

Everybody was mingling and having a good time, it seems, at eventually ... made way for the bride and groom so they could enjoy their first dance as a married couple. Looked pretty romantic, and it was clearly an extravagant affair -- everyone was dressed to the nines.

As you might imagine ... Ari's got a lot of pals in Hollywood, and many of them are in fact celebs -- either as clients or just as people he's met over the years and gotten cool with.

Kawhi Leonard isn't getting a ring this season, but his girlfriend certainly did -- the NBA superstar's lady was spotted wearing a massive rock on THAT finger at the airport on Tuesday.

Which begs the question -- did the longtime couple get engaged?!?

TMZ Sports has obtained pictures of the Klaw and Kishele Shipley arriving at LAX ... and the mother of two had a shiny, new accessory on her left ring finger.

Leonard and Shipley have been dating forever -- they first met at San Diego State and have been inseparable ever since. They have two children together, born in 2016 and 2019.

In other words, if wedding bells are ringing ... it shouldn't come as a surprise.

What's interesting -- we caught up with Kawhi and Kishele shortly after the pics were taken ... and it appears she removed the ring from her hand.

Kawhi missed the whole 2021-22 season with an injury ... so if they are, in fact, engaged, it's nice to see he made the most of his time off the court.

Caitlyn Jenner didn't intentionally skip out on Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker's wedding, fact is, she just wasn't on the guestlist ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the couple tell us Caitlyn never got an invitation for the weekend affair in Portofino, but the couple has no hard feelings toward her. We're told Kourtney and Travis wanted a very small and intimate ceremony, and Caitlyn simply didn't make the cut.

Our sources say it's not that Kourtney and Caitlyn don't have a relationship -- they do, but don't see or speak to each other all that much, so Kourtney didn't feel the need to invite her.

As for what Caitlyn did over the weekend while the rest of the fam was celebrating the newlyweds? She was busy cheering on her newest passion, Jenner Racing. Driver Jamie Chadwick won her 5th W Series race in a row, taking the prize in Barcelona.

Shortly after Chapman's victory, Caitlyn tweeted a photo of the driver with the caption, "Win! Win! Win! No matter what!" So, she still found plenty of joy, just not wedding-related.

It's worth noting, Caitlyn did attend Kim and Kanye's wedding in Italy back in May of 2014 -- the year after splitting from Kris Jenner, and the year before announcing her transition.

Kourtney Kardashian's telegraphing a not-so-subtle reminder to the world she's a Barker now -- and it's written all over her and Travis Barker too ... in case you've been under a rock.

The newlyweds were still in Portofino, Italy Monday night, and rocked matching white leather jackets -- one embroidered with "Mrs. Barker" on the back, and the other with "Mr. Barker."

As we've told you, Kourtney was quick to take Travis' last name on Instagram ... changing her profile Monday evening to Kourtney Kardashian Barker.

One thing that hasn't changed is their penchant for serious PDA!!! Trav and Kourt were still all over each other during their evening outing -- just a day after saying their "I Dos" before family and friends.

Their over-the-top wedding -- their 3rd one -- was held at the stupidly scenic seaside compound of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.

While we don't know if Kourtney's planning to legally take Travis' name, the jackets and IG change are strong hints she will do exactly that -- if they ever come back from Italy.

Scott Disick sure knows how to distract himself ... while his ex, Kourtney Kardashian, and Travis Barker were celebrating their marriage in Italy, Scott was hitting a packed NYC strip club.

Sources inside Sapphire New York tell us Disick rolled in with a group around 2:30 AM Monday, and headed straight to the VIP section. We're told he was low-key, only chatting with his immediate crew ... he didn't even interact with any dancers.

Our sources say Scott's group included an almost equal split of men and women, but there was one woman who he spoke with most of the night.

In all, we're told Disick was only at the club for about an hour before taking off.

Scott wasn't the only celeb at Sapphire Sunday into Monday -- Pusha T performed to promote his latest album, but our sources don't believe Lord Disick caught that show, as it ended shortly before Scott arrived.

As we reported, things across the Atlantic at Kourtney's wedding were over the top. She and Travis exchanged vows at the Dolce and Gabbana Estate in Portofino before heading to Castello Brown for the reception, which featured an Andrea Bocelli performance.

Hey, Kourt and Travis enjoyed their form of art, world-class singing ... and we're sure Scott enjoyed his too!

Nick Cannon's done enough trial and error in relationships to know marriage just isn't for him -- but he's not completely closing the door on it happening again.

The "Wild 'N Out" creator and host sat down with the host of the "It's Tricky with Raquel Harper" podcast, and gave her some insight into why his ex, Mariah Carey, will most likely be the only wife he ever has.

Nick says he's onto a new journey in life, one that doesn't include marrying any romantic partners. As he put it, he'd have to be "presented with something that I've never seen before" if he were to even consider another marriage.

So, technically, he's saying there's a chance -- but watch the clip, sounds like a pretty slim one. While Nick did tell Raq he loves all of his 8 children, he also said he's had enough experience to know tying the knot just isn't his thing.

As we've reported, Nick had a gender reveal, back in January, with Johnny Manziel's ex-wife, Bre Tiesi ... for his 8th child. While they appeared to be very much together, romantically, that's clearly not the case now.

Just a month prior, Nick shared the tragic news his 5-month-old son Zen, with model Alyssa Scott, died after a battle with cancer.

Zen was Nick's 7th-born child.

Four of Nick's kids were born within an 18-month span, so he's been busy.

Kourtney Kardashian is changing her name to Kourtney Kardashian Barker ... at least on social media ... taking her husband's last name after marrying Travis in Italy.

Kourtney made the name change Monday on her official Instagram page, which now shows Travis' last name tacked on to her name, with a flaming heart emoji.

KKB is still rocking her original Insta handle ... kourtneykardash ... at least for now.

As you know ... Kourtney and Travis got hitched over the weekend in a lavish wedding in Italy, exchanging vows in front of friends and family, including Kim Kardashian and Mark Hoppus.

The wedding was held at the Dolce & Gabbana estate in Portofino. The reception at Castello Brown saw Andrea Bocelli sing as Kourtney and Travis had one of their first dances as husband and wife.

The Italian ceremony was the latest for the lovebirds ... they've also had weddings in Las Vegas and Santa Barbara, and have another celebration planned in Los Angeles.

It will be interesting to see if Kourtney takes Travis' last name legally, or just sticks with it on IG.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker celebrated one of their first dances together as a couple with a little help from one of the best voices in the world ... Andrea Bocelli.

The Italian tenor treated the Barkers to a rendition of "Can't Help Falling in Love" while the couple danced together on stage. Not only were guests treated to Andrea, his son, Matteo, was also invited to perform. The two performed several songs.

And of course, in true Kravis fashion, they shared a long kiss while Andrea belted out the tune.

As we reported, Kourtney and Travis had their ceremony at the Dolce & Gabbana estate in Portofino Sunday -- complete with a private boat ride for guests to the venue. From there, it was party time at Castello Brown, a 13th-century military lookout the couple rented out.

The wedding day was among 4 days of celebration for the newly married couple over in Italy. Our sources say only a very limited number of family and close friends were invited to attend -- including Kourtney's sisters and Travis' bandmates -- including Mark Hoppus and MGK.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are just hours away from exchanging vows and saying their "I Dos" ... and in true Kardashian fashion, they teamed up with an iconic brand to make it all happen.

As you know, the family has been all over Portofino leading up to the big day ... hitting restaurants, historic spots and even the water on a massive yacht.

Sources close to the couple say the wedding ceremony will go down at the seaside compound of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. The estate is also where the family has been staying during their Italian getaway.

TMZ broke the story ... Kourtney and Travis also rented out the Castello Brown -- a historic structure that once served as a military lookout in the 13th century. The location will serve as the venue for the wedding reception following the ceremony.

And, get this ... our sources also tell us the entire family has been pulling exclusive looks from the D&G archives over the last 3 months to wear for the wedding weekend.

As we reported, Kourtney and Travis took the plunge off the Regina D'Italia, a $60M super yacht earlier this week. The boat was reportedly once owned by D&G as well ... so there's a ton of cross-over.

The partying won't just stop in Italy though ... our sources say once back in L.A. Kourtney and Travis will hold a larger reception for all their friends back home in the near future.

Kim Kardashian took to the streets of Portofino, Italy Sunday ... and she was like a Pied Piper.

Kim strolled through the streets with North and Penelope, with an entourage -- including her glam team -- and bodyguards in tow. It's pretty clear ... Italians are at the very least curious about the big fuss over the Kardashians.

They were on the hunt for gelato and did a little shopping in the process.

Kim's in town for sister Kourtney's 3rd wedding ceremony. Most of the fam is there, including Kylie, Kendall and Kris.

She jumped on a boat with North, presumably to get ready for the nuptials.

What we don't know ... is it possible Pete will jump on a plane and make it in time for the nuptials? He signed off 'SNL' for good Saturday night, and he could have jetted off in the middle of the night ... but we don't know.

Kourtney and Travis' ceremony will go down in a pretty spectacular castle.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are living it up in Portofino, Italy, ahead of their ceremonial wedding, aka wedding ceremony #3!

The already-married couple couldn't keep their hands off each other -- or their tongues -- as they strolled the streets of the scenic city.

Kourt and Trav took her son Reign for a stroll Saturday morning, ahead of the nuptials which appear to be going down this weekend at an amazing castle ... probably Saturday night.

Kim Kardashian showed up legally blonde and her daughter North was right there, along for the ride.

Lest we forget Kylie Jenner and Khloe Kardashian ... Kylie is on mommy duty as she holds on tight to daughter Stormi as they jump on a boat with the rest of the fam.

They're yachting it over there -- on a $60M boat -- as Kendall and most of the brood celebrate onboard.

As we reported, Scott Disick was not invited to the ceremony and so far we haven't seen any sign of Rob.

Wedding #3 won't sufficiently do it. We're told there'll be another shindig -- a BIG one -- once they all return to the States. It'll be for friends and fam. The question -- will Scott be invited and if so will he show?

Khloe Kardashian is far far away from home, celebrating her sister Kourtney's wedding, so while she's gone Tristan Thompson is performing daddy duty, and it's pretty cute.

Tristan posed pics of 4-year-old True ... with the caption, "Twinz❤️❤️."

That was followed up by some serious haircare, with True becoming a mini-stylist ... applying hair gel on Tristan's dome. True is a pro, telling her dad, "I have to wash this" as she carefully styles pops. Tristan's review -- "Stylin' by True."

Tristan and Khloe are not together, but it seems they've figured out a way to make co-parenting work ... something we've seen isn't always easy, even in her own family.

As for Khloe ... she doesn't seem to have much child anxiety ... she's clearly having a blast in Portofino, celebrating her sister's wedding ... wedding #3!

The sister has landed -- Kim Kardashian is in Italy for Kourtney's wedding -- and as expected, she did it with a ton of fans following her every move.

Kim was just spotted in Portofino, still sporting her blonde Marilyn Monroe hair, and a figure-fitting bodysuit as she walked the streets with security close by. We should point out, Pete Davidson is nowhere in sight, but it was reported he's got his final 'SNL' duties this weekend, so looks like work took priority.

Kim joined her family -- including Kourtney, Travis, Kylie, Kris, North, Kendall and her boyfriend Devin Booker -- for dinner before heading out.

TMZ broke the story, Kourtney and Travis' wedding celebrations are slated for the next 4 days, with the ceremony to take place at Castello Brown -- a structure built in the 13th century with a ton of history.

The wedding party enjoyed a $60M yacht early Friday, taking a plunge and enjoying a ride on a jet ski.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are living it up in Italy as they count down the hours until their wedding ceremony, enjoying a massive yacht and time with their kids until the big event.

The two are aboard the Regina D'Italia, a $60M superyacht once owned by Dolce and Gabbana head Stefano Gabbana. Travis, Kourtney and her son Reign all took a plunge off the back of the boat before enjoying some time on jet skis as well.

Travis, feeling a little bolder, also took a jump off the side of the boat from a greater height before getting back onboard to give his Mrs. a foot massage.

TMZ broke the story, the couple will celebrate their wedding over the course of 4 days in Portofino ... with a ceremony at a historic castle called Castello Brown, overlooking the harbor.

Sources close to the couple tell us Kourtney's kids, sisters and some close friends will attend the wedding ... and on Travis' side, it'll be his kids, and some close friends, including bandmates.
