Business socialite & Russell Simmons' niece Angela Simmons was seen out shopping for shoes at Saks Fifth Avenue (just likeKelis) in Beverly Hills yesterday.  Looks like she was trying to make a decision on some hot sky blue Jimmy Choo pumps.  We vote yes.

She and Dani were seen playing with her adorable niece Sacred.

Angela, who's been steadily building her brand over the years, has numerous projects coming down the pipeline in 2013, including a new clothing line.  Say what you want about Ange, but chick has a cute sense of style.

Reality star Tamar Braxton stopped by "The Wendy Williams Show" to sing her chart-topping single "Love And War." See her performance along with Big Boi and Kelly Rowland on "The View" inside.....

With her single reigning high on the iTunes chart and sure to make a huge impression on Billboard, Tamar Braxton stopped by "WENDY" to perform "Love And War."  The single is already making a big splash on the airwaves and maye just give Tamar the taste of music success that she craves. 

Her husband Vince was extra hype from the audience about the performance and it seemed to bring a tear or two to Wendy's eyes towards the end. Afterwards, Wendy chatted with Tamar about her friendship with Lady Gaga (who asked her fans on Twitter to support the single).

Watch Tamar sing "Love And War" here...

Also on morning tv....

Big Boi and Kelly Rowland stopped by "The View" this morning to perform Big Boi's latest single"Mama Told Me." When asked if Outkast would if reunite, Big Boi blew the question off (in a very politically correct way) and told the hosts that it would happen when the time is right and Andre 3000 decides he wants to do it.  And as for a Destiny's Chhild reunion, Kelly said, "We'll have to wait and see." 

Watch the performance above.....

She'd rather be naked than wear fur.  And with a body like that, we wouldn't blame her if she'd just rather be naked, period.  Check out Evelyn Lozada's brand new PETA ad she just unveiled tonight....

"Basketball Wives" star Evelyn is currently filming the upcoming new season of the VH1 show, but she took some time to unveil her new ad for PETA.

The 37-year-old Latina mag fitness blog writer reveals how after watching a video about the mistreatment of animals simply for humans to get their fur, she changed her mind about what's in her closet. And she joins plenty of other Hollywood stars in posing for the animal rights group's campaign.

She said:

"You can verbalize what happens to these animals a thousand times, but [when] you see it, it definitely clicks in—and it did for me."

Check out her fan campaign above, where she's covered in nothing but winter snowflakes, and her behind the scenes footage below (Video contains brutal clips of animal mistreatment):

She may be anti-fur, but we don't expect her to go vegan anytime soon.  Chick is not giving up her Louboutins...

Hoping to avoid further embarassment, "RHOA" star Kenya Moore has responded to attacks from Walter Jackson about their "relationship". Get her new official statement inside....

Now that Walter Jackson has been seen socializing around the ATL with another woman, and revealed that Kenya Moore asked him to "fake" their relationship on "RHOA," the former Miss USA is responding to save her dignity.

In a statement previewed on TooFab (and set for a reveal on "WENDY" today), Kenya claims that Walter is deceitful and hateful and she's just a girl who wants to fall in love.  Calling his statements "completely false," she says the truth about what went on between them will come to light later in Season 5.  Her statement reads,

“The truth is and has always been that I want to be in a loving, honest, long-term relationship with someone who genuinely loves me for me — Walter’s recent statements are completely false. I am embarrassed that I allowed a deceitful and hateful person in my life.

He says he ‘did it for fame.’ I’ve been humiliated enough by appearing desperate for a man to marry me who now admits he had his own agenda. I urge viewers to stay tuned because the truth will come to light. I am moving on from this situation and hope he can as well with respect and dignity going forward. I have heard the fans and my friends loud and clear … I can do better than Walter, and I will.”

Whether Kenya conspired to "create" her own storyline or not, the folks over at BRAVO can't be too happy about this.  We're sure Andy Cohen will get to the bottom of this at the reunion. 

Beyonce& her bangin' curves made their way to the Bowery last night in NYC to cheer on little sis Solange at her concert.  Pics and video inside..

The Knowles sisters are all about that sibling support.  So it's no surprise big sis Bey skipped out on sitting courtside with her hubby last night in Brooklyn at the Nets vs. Knicks re-match, so that she could support Solo at her concert in the city.

in a multicolored printed curve hugging dress and her nude Louboutin pumps, mama Bey trekked it over to the Bowery to watch Solo perform tracks off her new EP True.  And we're loving her Charlotte Olympia "Pandora" perspex clutch box with the spider clasp and leopard insert.  And like any good big sister, she had her camera in tow too.  

Solange entered the venue in a cute yellow snakeskin jacket before hitting the stage in a different look:

Check out Solange's performance of "Some Things Never Seem to F*cking Work" off her True EP.

In other news, Beyonce is set to take over the stage in Vegas once again.  And this time, it's for New Year's Eve.  The top executives at the Wynn hotel confirmed the 2-hour festive show with 700 guests--and this is the same hotel where she performed her first intimate Vegas performance back in 2009 during the "I Am....Yours" tour. She's reportedly get paid a fat $4 mill for the gig.

There may be trouble brewing in the marriage of Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom as the NBA baller has been spotted out with several different woman over the past few weeks. And it's not the fertility issues this time.  Get the deets inside....

The marriage of LA Clippers star Lamar Odom and "X Factor" host Khloe Kardashian may be on the rocks as In Touch reports three sightings of the baller with other women (while traveling with the team on road trips and in LA).  

First off, Teresa Witt, a partier at club Skkybar in Oklahoma City, says she saw Lamar with two brunettes on Nov. 20.

She said, “He went out the back door, and it looked like he was about to leave. They were standing next to a cab. Both of the women were very thin brunettes in their late twenties, and when I saw them, I immediately wondered, ‘Why is Lamar in an alley in the middle of the night with two gorgeous girls?’” Messy.

But that was just the beginning as one source close to the couple said he snuck two different women up to his Trump SoHo hotel room during Thanksgiving with the help of his driver.  Khloe decided to stay in L.A. with her fam while Lamar was in NYC for a game.

Then, folks in LA at Greystone Manor saw him with “a short blond girl” on Dec.9. The witness said they were,“...talking so close it looked like they were kissing. He seemed to be having the time of his life.”

These alleged sightings haven't seem to put a damper on Khloe's spirits though, even though she was spotted wearing a sweatshirt from Lamar's Rich Soil clothing line last week.  Or....maybe she didn't know about this week's edition of In Touch?

Jennifer Hudson was one of the performers at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert 2012 in Oslo, Norway yesterday (Wednesday).  And she donned a leg-baring sexy look for the occasion.  Decide if we love her look inside...

A Nobel Peace Prize concert wouldn't be the first place we would think of for where Jennifer Hudson would wear a dress like this.  But did she pull it off?  The singer hit the Oslo Spektrum in a Dolce & Gabbana black lace mini curve hugging frock with gold brocade embellished at the upper waist.

Jenny's all about flaunting her new body in clothes she never would have worn before her 80 pound weight loss.  And with her studded black platform pumps, she's indeed an eye catcher these days.

And Ne-Yo, who also hit the stage with her, seemed to not have a prob with it either.  So...

DO WE LOVE IT?!

As 2012 comes to an end, we move into awards season and two of our favorite Hollywood denizens landed nomiations for the 2012 SAG Awards. First up, Denzel Washington was nominated for his role in the movie Flight. Denzel's protrayal of a troubled pilot had viewers on the edge of their seats this year.  And he played the hell out of the role.  So a SAG Award would be greatly deserved.

The SAG Awards will air on Jan. 27 and will be simulcast live on TNT and TBS. Here's the full list.

Written by Sylvia Hillman and Michael Anthony Snowden, and directed by Bernard Gourley, Gloria continues in the role of “V”, a classical ballerina/assassin in the second episode of the series, "Do Unto Others."

Watch "Do Unto Others" here:

It isn't terrible...but it isn't necessary either. With song production by Lucky and the video produced by Mahad Dar, it's worth a look.

There were rumors on the net last night that Frank Ski & Wanda Smith, the legendary hosts of the biggest urban radio morning show in Atlanta, would be leaving the station.  And this morning, the hosts made the announcement after 14 years on the air...

Frank Ski and Wanda will be leaving CBS radio's V103 in Atlanta as the #1 morning hosts in the city.  It was a shock to the community as they are still in the midst of their send-off show.

He announced he would be stepping away from his V103 family to pursue dreams and plans he has for himself.  And about an hour later, Wanda announced the same.

Steve Harvey called in while he was in the middle of his own radio show, and he hinted that this was due to a bad business decision by the station and  "someone is making a huge mistake."  He said that you don't let legends go because legends have a tendency to show back up in places you don't expect them to.  Steve gushed they've been competitors and friends for years, but he will indeed find out what happened. 

Michael Baisden, Ricky Smiley and plenty other radio vets have called in during this morning's send off show.  But Frank Ski said he doesn't plan to leave ATL, even though his home is now for sale.  And next week will be their final days (not tomorrow as some are reporting), as Frank says he and Wanda want to see through their "Christmas List" shows. 

Frank, who also has a restaurant in Atlanta, maintains he's leaving because he wants to affect more people on a larger level.  And it seems that CBS and the hosts could not come to an agreement about Frank expanding his empire--especially with him reportedly wanting a CBS tv show based around his radio life.  That was apparently a no-go.

Atlanta's in an uproar, despite the fact Frank & Wanda made their own decisions to leave.  But many believe they were forced to make the decision as CBS would not cater to their expansion needs.

As for who will take over.  Radio Facts reportsRyan Cameron, one of the top radio personalities on V103 in the afternoon, will move to the morning show timeslot.  And as for who will take his show--former "106 & Park" host Big Tigger is in talks, reportedly, to move to Atlanta for that gig.

Check out the Ustream going on right now (until 10am) from Frank & Wanda's show.  Check out his full statement over at AJC.

*UPDATE*  AJC has confirmed that Ryan Cameron will definitely take over the morning show this January.  And Big Tigger will indeed take ver the afternoon show.

Evelyn Lozada is still celebrating her big PETA campaign unveil.  And last night, at the Supper Club in L.A., Evelyn kept the party going with her "Basketball Wives" co-stars.  Pics and deets inside...

After unveiling her"I'd Rather Go Naked" campaign earlier this week with PETA, Evelyn's been partying it up, especially since the unveil coincided with her 37th birthday.

The fab chick had some fun with her co-stars Shaunie O'Neal and newbie Tasha Marbury at the party--which had topless women being lowered from ceilings who were bringing drinks to the crowd.

She rocked a black lace jumpsuit by Jason Sky, and flaunted her curves with a peplum attachment around the waist.

But chick proved she could have rolled without it.

By the way, thanks to her folks at RoadStarr, author/fitness blogger Ev pulled up to her party in a Rolls Royce Ghost.  And of course, she tweeted a pic of the nice ride.

NY Knicks superstar Amar'e Stoudemire wed his fiancee Alexis Welch during a private ceremony at their home yesterday. Find out about the nuptials and get the pics inside....

Amar'e Stoudemire wed his "best friend" Alexis Welch yesterday in a private ceremony on the rooftop (on an extra cold NYC night) of the couples' Meatpacking District apartment in NYC.  And even though Amar'e's currently on the injured list, he'll be making a big comeback--as a married man--at the Knicks' big Christmas Day game against the Lakers.

The intimate affair was witnessed by the couples three children Amar’e Jr., Ar’e and Assata (shown atop) and seven family members. And instead of a traditional wedding dress, Alexis wore a custom designed garment while their kids also donned custom attire as well.  Meanwhile, Amar'e wore a Calvin Klein tux under his draped attire.   

Alexis' stunning engagement ring was designed by Shayan Afshar and Harry Glinberg created her wedding band.  Amar'e wears an Afshar wedding band (shown above).

Following the nuptials, the wedding party made a stop at the 12.12.12. Concert at MSG (we told you previously about their home and cars sustaining hurricane damage) and also a trip to STK for the reception.  His NBA rep tells us Amar'e was quoted saying,"I feel blessed."

And if you're wondering why such a high profile couple would have such a small seemingly impromptu wedding, a source told the NY Post, “Less than seven other people were there, no Knicks teammates. It was just about them. They are planning a big bash next year for friends and family to have a great time.”

The couple, who got engaged last June at their Le Meurice Hotel Belle Etoile Royal Suite overlooking the Eiffel Tower, say they chose 12.12.12. to get married for spiritual reasons.   Amar'e shared a special photo of their wedding rings saying "12.12.12 now has a special & spiritual meaning for us."

Congrats to the newlyweds!
