The former reality star and his fiancee Mia Irons welcomed identical twin boys, Maverick and Beau Reinhardt, earlier this month.

Ashley Olsen Raises Engagement Speculation With Ring on That Finger. Are wedding bells ringing for Ashley Olsen? On Monday, the highly private Olsen sister was spotted with artist boyfriend Louis Eisner as they stepped out for dinner and to see Once Upon a Time in Hollywood in Los Angeles. However, it wasn't the outing that's raising eyebrows, but a piece of jewelry the Elizabeth and James designer was sporting on her left hand as she was snapped by photographers: a dark band on that finger. Could the fashionista be on her way to bridal? While there's been no official word on the speculation, the two were recently seen celebrating the twin stars' 33rd birthday together in the Big Apple last month. It was a family affair for the famous siblings as Mary-Kate's husband Olivier Sarkozy and stepdaughter attended as did Ashley's beau. Ashley and Eisner have been romantically linked for nearly two years now with a few public sightings scattered throughout since late 2017. Last August, the couple was photographed on a stroll around Bel Air. At the time, a source told E! News the two "seemed very comfortable with each other." Eisner "had his arm around her and they were talking the whole time," the source described. Perhaps they'll be taking a walk down an aisle next. (Eonline)

Nicki Minaj and her boyfriend took a big step toward the altar, because we've learned the couple just got a marriage license in Los Angeles, although it's all on the down low. Sources with knowledge tell TMZ ... Nicki and Kenneth Petty took a trip together to the Bev Hills Courthouse Monday. Witnesses say they saw Nicki and her boo at the marriage license bureau window, and they got the paperwork they need to tie the knot. Nicki and Kenneth were trying to keep a low profile inside the courthouse as they waited in line at window that read, "marriage licenses and ceremony appts. ONLY" ... and Kenneth paid for the license before they left. Nicki was wearing a ball cap, but it's hard to hide that knee-length bright red 'do. It's interesting ... back in June, Nicki said on her "Queen Radio" show that she and Kenneth had already gotten their marriage license. No word on when Nicki and Kenneth will make it official ... but typically the license is pulled shortly before the nuptials. A marriage license is good for a maximum of 90 days. Nicki and Kenneth began dating last year after rekindling their flame from their teen years. This will be Nicki's first marriage. (TMZ)

Tana Mongeau Delays Her and Jake Paul's Honeymoon After "Family Emergency." Tana Mongeau and Jake Paul are putting their honeymoon plans on hold. Less than 24 hours have passed since Jana said, "I do," in Las Vegas, but there's already trouble in paradise. On Monday, Tana took to Twitter to share that she is staying back from their European getaway to deal with a "family emergency." "i'm gonna meet him there the second i can. so excited to decompress from the past few months of chaos & celebrate US with no one around." But, she adds, "my number one focus is dealing with this family emergency." Of course, the newlywed is disappointed by the "really bad timing", but she is trying to stay positive. The 21-year-old explains that she doesn't want to " take away from all of the love i was surrounded by last night" at their Sugar Factory reception.

She and Jake partied the night away at the Sugar Factory, where they sat atop a literal throne as people threw champagne on them. In Tana's words, the low-scale food fight made their first dance "better." It's safe to say there will never be a boring day in this marriage! (Eonline)

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner Pay Tribute to Late Dog With New Tattoos. Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner are honoring their late pup, Waldo Picasso. The Jonas Brother singer and the Game of Thrones star, whose Alaskan Klee Kai dog was reportedly struck and killed by a car in New York City last week, took to social media on Monday to pay tribute to their "angel." The newlyweds got matching tattoos of their beloved pup on their forearms. "I miss you, Waldo," Turner wrote on her Instagram Story along with a photo of the new tribute ink. "Rest in peace my little baby." Jonas also posted a photo of his tattoo on social media, writing, "R.I.P. my little angel." In the comments of the singer's post, Nick Jonas left a praying hands emoji, while Priyanka Chopra commented with a heart. Turner's Dark Phoenix co-star, Jessica Chastain, also sent love to the couple, writing on Jonas' post, "I'm so sorry." Tattoo artist Dragon, of Bang Bang Tattoo, shared photos of Jonas and Turner getting their tribute ink on Monday. "@joejonas @sophiet Thank you so much guys," Dragon captioned his Instagram post. "See you later!" Of the incident, an NYPD spokesperson told E! News that a woman filed a police report on Friday, July 26, saying that on Wednesday around 11:30 p.m., a vehicle did not stop and struck a dog on the street before leaving the scene. The woman said the dog was brought to a hospital, where the pup passed away. At the time, the spokesperson said the NYPD could not confirm the name of the woman or the owners of the dog. According to TMZ, Jonas and Turner's dog walker had Waldo on a leash while out on the Lower East Side of the city. The outlet reports that the pup "got spooked by a pedestrian" and ran into the street before being struck by the vehicle. A Jonas rep called the incident "a freak accident." (Eonline)

Jennifer Aniston's real-life Friend is offering her support after the death of her beloved dog. Courteney Cox shared a sweet tribute to her former costar's white German Shepherd Dolly after Aniston's ex Justin Theroux announced her death on Instagram. "We love you dolly ????," Cox, 55, wrote on Theroux's social media post. Cox's message to Aniston, 50, and the Leftovers actor, 47, joined those of several other celebrity pals, including Olivia Munn, who commented nine red heart emojis, and Orlando Bloom, who wrote, "rip beauty." Theroux announced Dolly's death on Instagram Monday with a sweet slideshow of photos that appeared to be from an outdoor burial ceremony with Aniston. The pup was covered in flower petals as she was laid to rest and later wrapped in a white blanket. An additional photo shows two hands -- one presumably Theroux's and the other appearing to be Aniston's -- holding each other over the dog's leg. "Tonight, at sunset, after a heroic struggle... our most loyal family member and protector, Dolly A. laid down her sword and shield ????," he captioned the post. "She was surrounded by her entire family." He also included a quote from former U.S. Senator George Vest that read, "The one that never deserts, the one that never proves ungrateful ... is the dog- faithful and true, even in death." Aniston, who split from Theroux in February 2018 after two and a half years of marriage and seven years as a couple, adopted Dolly in 2006. "I'm like Dolly," the actress told Allure in 2011. "Her brain moves faster than her body, and she's slightly klutzy, which I tend to be." The pooch, along with the former couple's pit bull-boxer mix Sophie, was even on hand during their 2015 wedding, with Dolly and Sophie getting spiffed up for the ceremony by Spa Dog. "They are like Jen's babies," a source told PEOPLE at the time. (People)

Jason Momoa is NOT the guy who gives a rat's ass what people on the Internet say -- especially when it comes to body-shaming trolls -- and his birthday celebration proves it. The "Aquaman" star, who turns 40 on Thursday, was shaking off the haters when we saw him Monday at LAX ... and instead chose to focus on the awesome friends who helped kick off his birthday festivities. Jason tells us the Guinness Ale flavored cake served at his recent surprise party was "amazing" ... and he has no regrets, even if haters see it as more ammo to call-out his alleged "dad bod." Yeah, it's ridiculous ... and Jason's clearly paying it no mind. He even says if we're patient ... he'll proudly put more Momoa dad bod on display soon. Fingers crossed! As we reported ... the ridiculous comments came after he was spotted in Venice with his wife, Lisa Bonet -- and some idiots said the actor looked little more doughy and needed to get back to the gym. Jason says it amounts to a big nothing, though, and then he was kind enough to humor our cameraman about being his stuntman. Meanwhile, Momoa will continue to enjoy his life at almost 40 and beyond, surrounded by friends and loved ones ... including Chace Crawford and his "Game of Thrones" costar, Emilia Clarke. Take that, trolls. (TMZ)

Sitting down with guest co-host Keke Palmer on Monday's episode of Strahan and Sara, Bella Thorne candidly spoke to her friend about her complex relationship with her mom. The 21-year-old actress admitted that while her mother, Tamara, hadn't always been there for her in the ways she needed, she also blames herself for not speaking up. "I wanted acceptance. I wanted appreciation and love for who I was -- the way I looked -- to everything about myself that I didn't ever feel like I got," Thorne said on the morning show. "I wanted an education, I wanted to feel like I could speak, I wanted a lot of things. But I never spoke up so you can only blame people around you so much before obviously, you start blaming yourself." However, both mother and daughter have recently revealed that their relationship is on the mend -- Thorne explained to Palmer that now, the two are closer than ever. "We are so much closer now than I think -- on a realistic level, you know, me and my mom were best friends growing up," she said. "So now, I think this is really the closest we've ever been in life to understanding one another, for both of us being honest with our opinions." Their candor comes after the recent release of the Famous in Love star's new book, The Life of a Wannabe Mogul: Mental Disarray. In her book, the star reflects on her life, and the pain she's overcome in a series of poems. Tamara is also featured in the book and is highlighted in one poem titled, "love note to my mother," where Thorne blames her for not understanding how to love "properly." "I hope you know we never learned how to love Or at least I never did. I learned love from you and daddy but since he was gone mostly from you ... it's very hard for me to love properly, to love someone good to me," she writes. In a later poem that Thorne wrote on Instagram, the actress and singer apologizes to her mother for the harsh words explaining that she had to get it out from "lingering underneath my skin," adding "but what isnt is this infinite undying love I have 4 you. Our relationship is f -- ed up but I'm glad you are here." In an exclusive statement to PEOPLE, Tamara said: "I love my family and unconditionally love Bella very much. My family always comes first, and they are my number one priority. Bella and I did have a falling out a few years ago, but we are on the mend." Neither Bella nor her mother specified what caused the strain. In addition to talking about her relationship with her mother on the morning show, the author also talked about the difficulties of being a child actor and trying to work with a parent. "How are you allowed to say to your parent, 'You're crossing my boundaries,'" she asked. "That's only become a thing teenagers can say now to a parent." (People)

Bow Wow Ironically Wears a "Love Everybody" T-Shirt Despite Body Shaming Wendy Williams. Bow Wow is all about "love" just a day after he body shamed Wendy Williams. The artist, whose real name is Shad Moss, is sporting a shirt with the words "Love Everybody" emblazoned across his chest in a new video shared to his Instagram. In the clip, he dances in a seemingly joking manner while people watch from the sidelines. However, the irony of the slogan on his t-shirt was not lost on fans of the daytime talk show host. Some people called him out, while others commented on how "silly" his dancing is. On Sunday, the former musician shared a photo of Williams sporting a black bikini on the beach, with the caption: "They say its a hot girl summer." However, this backfired on Shad because, not long after, he became the target of hurtful comments. One user quipped, "When it's short boy summer we'll ask for your opinion." Moss eventually deleted the tweet. While the attack on Wendy seemed to be unprovoked, others pointed to the recent segment where she called him out for his derogatory comments towards ex-girlfriend Ciara. According to fan footage, at an event the rapper called Ciara a "bitch" and bragged about having her "first." His language drew ire from Williams, who then blasted the star for his crude comments. "It's very distasteful. We've all had somebody before we had you, man," she remarked. "We've all lived, but to be shirtless in a club and calling her a 'b---h,' you were so wrong for that." Maybe Bow Wow should take a note from his shirt and "love everybody." (Eonline)

Wendy Williams Shuts Down Bow Wow's Body Shaming With Epic Comeback. Wendy Williams has a few words for Bow Wow. After the 32-year-old rapper body-shamed the 55-year-old TV star on social media, the talk-show host shut down the hate on Tuesday's episode of The Wendy Williams Show. Williams made the comment after congratulating Lil Nas X on "Old Town Road" securing the no. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 17 weeks in a row. Up until this point, the artist had shared the record for longest, consecutive top-spot run with a few major stars. Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men's 1995 hit "One Sweet Day" spent 16 weeks at the top of the chart. Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber's 2017 song "Despacito" did the same. "How do you beat Mariah Carey?" Williams asked the crowd. She also thanked the rapper for sending her some "panty shorts" from his Wrangler collection. In what seemed to be a reference to Bow Wow's post, she then said, "Please refrain from your body shame. You don't have to like it, but someone does." Her audience then burst into applause. Over the weekend, the "Bounce With Me" star posted a picture of Williams wearing a black bikini at the beach. "They say its a hot girl summer," he wrote alongside the since-deleted social media post with several emojis. Williams fans were quick to come to her defense and demanded that the artist take the post down. This wasn't the first time the two had a bit of beef. Just last week, Williams called out the artist over some "very distasteful" comments about Ciara. Clearly, Williams doesn't have time for any negativity. (Eonline)

NASCAR legend Tony Stewart straight-up socked a heckler in the jaw at a racetrack Friday night ... and the entire incident was caught on camera. 48-year-old Stewart -- a 3-time NASCAR Cup Series champ -- was driving in a sprint car race in Jackson, Minnesota when he claims his engine blew out on him after just one lap. A ton of fans flocked to the track to see the race star drive that night -- the Jackson Motorplex even advertised it as "Tony Stewart Night" -- so Tony stuck around afterward to sign some autographs. That's when a heckler came up to Stewart -- and according to one eye witness, Brandon Woehl -- began cussing out Smoke for "quitting" only one lap into the race. "F*ck you, Tony," the heckler allegedly said ... "You piece of sh*t. You come here and basically race for one lap and quit, you piece of sh*t." That's when Woehl says Tony responded, firing back, "I blew my engine, you f*cking asshole. Do you want to pay for it?" The two traded a few more barbs ... with Stewart deciding to unleash a single-barrel salute to the heckler with his left hand. In the video, you can hear the heckler's response, because he screams back at Stewart, "Hey, Tony, I got two of them" while flipping him off with BOTH hands. Stewart immediately lost his cool and went after the guy ... and in the video, you can hear Tony's left fist collide with the heckler's face!!! Woehl claims Tony said after the punch, "F*ck, I broke my hand." Woehl also says members of Tony's camp took him away from scene almost immediately after the incident ... while the heckler was ushered away by event security. Cops tell TMZ Sports they were NOT called to the scene ... and, instead, they say the matter was handled internally by race track officials. They say no formal complaints against the driver have been filed. We've reached out to Tony's camp multiple times, but so far, no official comment. Stewart -- who retired from NASCAR following the 2016 season -- now spends a ton of time racing in small events throughout the country. He's also the co-owner of Stewart-Haas Racing. Tony is set to be inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2020. (TMZ)

Huge development in the Neymar rape investigation in Brazil ... where cops have ended their probe into the soccer superstar due to "lack of evidence." But, the 27-year-old isn't out of the woods yet ... cops are sending their findings over to the Sao Paulo Attorney General's Office which will have 15 days to decide if Neymar should be charged with a crime. But the fact cops haven't found overwhelming evidence against Neymar is a good indication that prosecutors will likely NOT move forward with the case. As we previously reported, Brazilian model Najila Trindade had claimed Neymar sexually assaulted her back in May at a hotel in Paris. In early June, Neymar published a 7-minute video professing his innocence -- and showing WhatsApp messages between the two in an effort to prove that "nothing really happened." Neymar also claimed he was being extorted by the woman. For her part, she has accused the Brazilian police of being corrupt and helping to cover up evidence ... saying, "The police are bought, aren't they? Or am I crazy?" The Sao Paulo Police are expected to address the media later Tuesday -- we'll have more when that happens. (TMZ)

A$AP Rocky was arrested for gross assault in Sweden on Wednesday. According to the Swedish Prosecution Office, the arrest took place around 1:00 a.m. The rapper is currently in custody. Under Swedish law, he could be held for up to three days before seeing a judge. The arrest appeared to be in relation to an incident that took place on Sunday and seemed to stem from a dispute over a pair of headphones. The "Kids Turned Out Fine" star posted footage from what appeared to be the same incident on Instagram Tuesday. The clip showed the artist and his crew interacting with two men on the streets of Stockholm and then attempting to walk away. "We don't know these guys and we didn't want trouble," part of his caption read, adding that the men allegedly followed them for four blocks. The Grammy nominee also shared a second clip in which things got physical between one of the men and a member of A$AP Rocky's security team. "Hits security in [the] face with headphones then follow us," he captioned the footage. The celebrity also wrote "I'm innocent" in the comments section, as well as "They trynna arrest me out here now, smh." TMZ also obtained footage that appeared to show the rapper grabbing and throwing one of the men. According to CBS News, three other people have been arrested in relation to the incident. E! News has reached out to A$AP Rocky's rep for comment. (Eonline)

One of the men testifying against A$AP Rocky in Sweden -- a witness to the street brawl -- has his own serious legal trouble, but, mysteriously, his case seems to now be on the back burner. As we previously reported, A$AP's alleged victim, Mustafa Jafari -- the guy in the video who got tossed like a rag doll -- was convicted of assault in 2016 for striking a guy in the face on the streets of Stockholm. Now, we've learned Jafari's buddy, Dawod Hosseini -- who's set to take the stand in support of Jafari -- was just arrested this month for theft. In fact, Hosseini was busted 2 weeks AFTER A$AP was hauled into custody. According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Hosseini was arrested July 19 for shoplifting two high-priced jackets from a Swedish clothing store. The docs also say cops found a knife on him during the arrest. Hosseini's remained in custody ever since then, but he's scheduled to testify in Rocky's 3-day trial, which begins Tuesday. Sources familiar tell us Hosseini's own trial has been delayed just so he can weigh-in on A$AP's case, as a witness for the prosecution. Ya gotta think both men -- Hosseini and Jafari -- will be vulnerable, to say the least, if the judge permits A$AP's attorneys to raise their records during cross examination. Remember, there's already the video showing Jafari using headphones to strike one of A$AP's bodyguards before the all-out brawl started. A$AP, who's being prosecuted for assault, has been locked up since July 3. He's facing a max sentence of 2 years in prison, but the lead prosecutor has said he wouldn't recommend that. (TMZ)

Below Deck's Captain Lee Rosbach's Son Dies of Accidental Drug Overdose. Joshua Rosbach died on July 22 of an accidental overdose. Captain Lee Rosbach's son, Joshua Lee Rosbach, has died of an accidental drug overdose, PEOPLE confirms. He was 42. On Monday, the Below Deck star posted a tribute on Instagram, revealing his late son -- who battled addiction for 20 years -- was laid to rest on Saturday. "This past Saturday, my beloved wife Mary Anne and I laid our youngest son, Joshua Lee Rosbach to rest," Lee wrote in the caption alongside a photo of Joshua. "After a twenty-year struggle, he finally succumbed to the demons he fought so long and so hard. Addiction is an insidious disease that knows no social status or geographic boundaries. "Whether you live in a 10,000 sq. ft. mansion or a double wide trailer, the path of death, destruction and devastation it leaves remains the same," the post continued. "We loved Josh unconditionally and were proud of the man he had become in spite of his problems. There was no one i ever knew who gave more of himself to those in his life. He loved with all his being without expecting anything in return. We both feel a hole in our souls that will never be filled." He concluded, "So my message to those of you who are fighting this disease, find a way to get help no matter what. For those of you who have a friend, family member, son, or daughter who's struggling, do whatever it takes to get them the help they need. Be kind and loving, and try to enjoy every second you have with them. Do not pray for our son, but please take care of your children and friends who may need it, as it isn't too late for them. Captain & Mary Anne." According to a tribute posted on Dignity Memorial, the 42-year-old died on July 22 "in the comfort of his home." "At the time of his passing he was in the hearts and minds of those he loved the most," the post read. "A gentle and kind soul, Josh was loved by everyone he came into contact with and never met a stranger. His smile, and although quiet personality were traits that people admired." "But the simple things in life were exciting too, especially when he worked hard to buy his first home where he enjoyed spending quality time with his 'Fur ever buddy and protector' Champ," the tribute continued. "Josh followed his father's love for the ocean, whether it was sail boating or First Mate aboard a Yacht. As a son, he was everything to his father and mother. He was a good brother and he loved the precious times they spent together." According to the site, Josh is survived by his parents, his sister and brother, nieces and nephews and numerous aunts and uncles. In lieu of flowers, his family has asked for donations in Josh's memory be made to the Humane Society of Broward County. (People)
