THE OTHER STUFF . . .

Meghan Markle Wears Patterned Dress While Supporting Prince Harry at Polo Match. Meghan Markle showcased a chic, casual look as she supported Prince Harry at an annual charity polo match on Saturday. The Duchess of Sussex wore a 3/4-length, sand-colored Shoshanna Ashland sleeveless, belted, gingham eyelet dress, paired with brown Sarah Flint Grear tie-up sandals, a white Madewell x Biltmore Panama hat with a black band and sunglasses, to the Audi Polo Challenge event at the Coworth Park Polo Club in Berkshire. She was joined by friends Serena Williams and husband Alexis Ohanian, who attended the royal couple's wedding last month. Harry's brother Prince William also took part in the polo match. His wife Kate Middleton and their three children were not spotted. At the event, Meghan was photographed leaning down and talking to a little girl in a pink dress. She had accompanied Harry to last year's Audi Polo Challenge, which marked their first public event together and took place six months before the two announced their engagement. Actors Dominic Cooper, Sam Claflin and Spider-Man star Tom Holland were also spotted at the 2018 Audi Polo Challenge on Saturday. (Eonline)

Kim showed up at the Westfield Century City mall in L.A. -- which carries products from both her KKW Beauty and KKW Fragrance lines -- to hang out with 50 lucky fans and their guests at a private event Saturday evening with her makeup artist, Mario Dedivanovic. Kim first went to her pop up where a few fans who were shopping got to meet her and take pics with her. Then she headed to a private rooftop venue to do one-on-one photos with a line of fans. The venue included an open bar and a candy station. We broke the story ... Kim held a raffle for a chance to attend the celebration with her and Mario for free, and 50 winners were invited to attend. It's a pretty big deal, too ... fans usually pay hundred for Mario's makeup tutorials. Kim Kardashian West arrived in style Saturday at her pop up shop, with her mom Kris close by. After the event, as Kim walked out of Spago in Bev Hills, she told our photog she and Tristan Thompson were besties. Sounds like she buried the hatchet because she was furious at him after the cheating scandal. (TMZ)

That's all folks -- famed porn star Mary Carey is off the pole and off the cheesy faux leather couch, after tying the knot with her new doctor husband. Carey got hitched to Dr. Joseph Brownfield, an ER doc, Wednesday at the Bev Hills Courthouse. Last time we saw her, she told our camera guy ... once she put on her wedding band, she wouldn't be taking off her clothes for anyone but for the good doc. So, all porn and strip club gigs are off the table now. As of May, Carey was still hitched to her previous husband, electrician Mario Monge. She asked the judge to finalize that divorce ASAP, so she and Brownfield could move forward with their nuptials. The marriage doesn't mean Mary's done partying altogether. Dr. and Mrs. Brownfield are planning a July wedding in Cuba. We'd put good money on a table dance or 2 in Havana. (TMZ)

Rich the Kid and his girlfriend, Tori Brixx, are moving out of the downtown Los Angeles apartment where they were attacked and robbed at gunpoint by several men earlier this month ... because neither could sleep there at night anymore. Rich had been crashing at his gf's crib when the home invasion went down ... the home invasion that landed them both in the hospital. We're told they didn't feel safe after returning there, since cops haven't found the culprits yet. Their attackers came into the second floor apartment through the fire escape to avoid the building's security, which explains why they'd be sleeping with one eye open now ... and you can tell from the 911 call that it was complete chaos. We're told they've hightailed it to a mansion in the San Fernando Valley, where they feel safer. As for their relationship . . . they're still very much together. Rich, we're told, doesn't think Tori set him up for the robbery. (TMZ)

Kourtney Kardashian and Younes Bendjima are continuing their vacation overseas, and her children have joined them ... so Kourt's 24-year-old boyfriend is taking on some daddy duties. The couple was spotted out on a boat in Portofino, Italy Saturday with Kourt's 3-year-old son Reign -- her youngest of 3 kids with Scott Disick -- and Younes looks pretty natural in the role of protective parent. As we reported ... Younes and Kourtney were on a private boat last week in Capri -- just the 2 of them -- showing off their hot bods while soaking up the sun. Parenting might not be as sexy ... but they still look good doing it. (TMZ)

Christina El Moussa's already got a house to make over on her new HGTV reality show, if she wants ... although it's in pretty good shape already. TMZ has learned ... Christina just shelled out $4.1 million in an off-market deal for a 4-bedroom, 4 bath home in Newport Beach, California. The home was remodeled in 2016 and doesn't look like it needs much work, but we're told Christina will likely put her own touches on it for her show. The 4,870-square-foot place is gated and has a pool with an adjacent outdoor kitchen. It won an HGTV award for Best Bedroom and Bathroom, which might be how Christina heard about it in the first place. She'll be living there herself, but her ex-husband, Tarek, won't be far. We're told he got a crib only a few blocks away. Scott Cappelli and Jonathon Curci from First Team held the listing, while Andrew Cotton from Compass represented Christina. (TMZ)

The place where Wilt Chamberlain famously banged a large portion of his alleged 20,000 hookups is for sale ... and can be yours for a small fee of $18.99 MILLION!! You know the story ... the NBA legend claimed the number of women he slept with was in the tens of thousands -- and the mansion that harbored his "sex room" and presumably the majority of those trysts has now hit the market. Sadly ... most of the features that made it Wilt's -- mink-lined waterbed floors, mirror-covered walls and a golden bathtub -- have been remodeled. But the place is still dope ... featuring six bedrooms, six bathrooms, 7,158 square feet ... and gated parking for 20-plus cars!! Sure, it woulda been nice to have that waterbed floor too ... but we'll settle for the insane view of Bel-Air, we guess. (TMZ)

Kendall Jenner and Ben Simmons might be moving out ... not on each other, but into a bigger and more private home than their current crib. As we reported ... the two have been crashing in a $25k/month L.A. rental, but the lease is short-term. One of the places they've been checking out is a 5 bedroom, 5 bath modern home in Bev Hills. The draw is the 4,000 sq. ft. pad is spread out on 4 acres with incredible views of L.A., and a bit off the beaten path ... meaning it's hard to find because it's so secluded. Can't blame Kendall for wanting the privacy ... she's had her fair share of run-ins with trespassers. Her other home that's being renovated is inside a nearby gated community. It's gonna cost 'em though ... this crib goes for $55k a month. Shay Gozlan and Rudy Malka, co-founders of Living the Dream, are the listing agents. (TMZ)

Justin Bieber's seeing red, but in this case it's a very good thing ... he got a brand-new luxury whip dropped off at his luxury hotel. JB's special delivery went down Friday at the Montage resort in Laguna Beach, CA, when a flatbed truck arrived with a brand new, custom Lamborghini Aventador ... with a price tag likely well over $500,000. We're told the Biebs took some video and admired the flashy red sports car for a bit -- as did all the passersby -- before hopping in and taking the 730-horsepower ride for a test drive. Hopefully Bieber didn't have to back the car into any tight spots or up any steep hills ... and we certainly hope this Lambo gets treated more kindly than his last one. (TMZ)

Kelly Clarkson Spends $8.5 Million on Los Angeles Mansion. Welcome home, Kelly Clarkson! The pop star and judge on The Voice has reportedly put down roots in sunny Southern California. According to multiple outlets, Clarkson dropped an impressive $8.5 million on a sprawling mansion in the affluent community of Encino, which is located in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles. So what are you waiting for? Let's go inside her not-so humble abode. Just shy of 10,000-square-feet, the custom built property boasts eight bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. The two-story home is inspired by the architectural design of a farmhouse, and features plenty of rustic touches like a metal roof, distressed wood and a porch. Amenities include a chef's kitchen with three islands, wine cellar and a home theater. The backyard is especially stunning, with a swimming pool, spa, covered patio, entertaining space and a fire pit. Kelly and husband Brandon Blackstock's master suite has its very own fireplace, in addition to a massive dressing room and balcony overlooking the backyard. The "Love So Soft" songstress is actually downsizing from her last home, which remains listed at $8.75 million. Clarkson's Tennessee compound clocked in at more than 20,000-square-feet, which she purchased in 2013 for a much more reasonable $2.8 million. Count us in for the housewarming party! (Eonline)

'RHOC' stars Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador have been running their mouths and spreading vicious lies about Alexis Bellino's estranged husband ... according to him, and he's threatening to sue. TMZ has learned Jim Bellino's lawyer fired off letters to both women -- and in one, he rips Tamra for a recent interview where she called him a "shady mother****er" who's going to jail. He also says she defamed Jim by suggesting his divorce might be "fake and for legal reasons." TMZ broke the story ... Jim filed for divorce from Alexis last week after 12 years of marriage. In the letter to Shannon, obtained by TMZ, he says she flapped her gums on a podcast and lied about him shutting down his trampoline biz. Even worse, he says she falsely stated, "people get paralyzed ... apparently that happened" -- again, referring to his company. Jim says both women are not only damaging him with their "morally corrupt" gossip but could potentially harm his children. He's demanding both of Alexis' castmates stop lying, publish full retractions and apologies, and if they don't ... he's prepared to see both of 'em in court. (TMZ)

"Deadliest Catch" star Sig Hansen caught a major break in his Uber assault and property damage case -- it's only gonna set him back a few hundred dollars, and he's avoiding jail time. According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, Hansen pled guilty to assault but the judge dismissed his property damage charge. He was given a deferred sentence of 12 months and ordered to pay $343 in fines and fees. We broke the story ... Sig allegedly spat on the driver last year in Seattle after the app canceled his ride, and the driver refused to take Sig and his fam the rest of the way with hard cash. He also allegedly kicked the car while exiting the vehicle. He was arrested shortly afterward. Sig apologized for the incident, saying he made a "boneheaded move" and accepted responsibility for his actions. There are other conditions attached to his sentence ... including staying away from the driver and his wife, and he had to undergo a substance abuse evaluation. (TMZ)
