The fab mom-to-be was spotted making her way inside “GMA” studios to promote her new film Guardians of the Galaxy, donning a burgundy midi dress and nude Christian Louboutins that showed off her growing belly. It’s reported Zoe is expecting twins with her Italian husband Marco Perego.
 

 photo burgzoe5.jpg

The 36-year-old actress chopped it up with GMA host George Stephanopoulos about her role as an alien warrior named Gamora in the upcoming sci-fi film. She talks about her character being a bullfighter (inspired by her husband) and what inspired the fight scenes. She said,

“It was the most graceful form of dance… it was at the time when I was wondering if I was going to do ‘Guardians’ and I thought, ‘oh my God I should, and she should totally be a bull fighter, instead of just a martial artist.'"

The sci-fi queen also talked about her love for playing in space-type movies (i.e. Avatar, Star Trek). She dished,

“I’ve always had an affinity for the unknown and imagining the unimaginable. It feels good to be in space.”

Check her interview below:

After hitting GMA….

Mrs. James has been keeping a pretty low profile up until recently when she flossed her growing belly during the James Family Vacation earlier this month. We caught the first glimpse of her growing belly back in May in a picture with LeBron Jr. and his basketball teammates.

We were the first to tell you that Savannah was expecting a baby back in March. Months after, the NBA superstar confirmed his family will soon be welcoming a baby girl. The new Baby James will be joining big brothers LeBron James, Jr. and Bryce Maximus James.

Before heading back to his hometown for his 2nd run with the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron announced a jersey number change. He will now be wearing the iconic No. 23, the same number Michael Jordan wore during his legendary basketball career.

He tweeted:

 

MJ chimed in on his thoughts about King James (who wore No. 23 in high school) wearing his number. He told ESPN via text, "I'm cool with it. I don't own a number.''

Nice!

Willow Smith lends her voice to a track named "8" off of DJ Kitty Cash’s Love the Free II mixtape. The 13-year-old songstress explained the "idea" behind the song to MTV News saying, “I’ve been really into numerology lately because a lot of numbers have been following me and my friends. I’ve been coming into this new phase in my life, just becoming one with all that is, going deeper into myself and getting to the goal of my music, which is to share that feeling and pass on knowledge so that consciousness can be raised on this planet.”

Hmm....those are some pretty deep thoughts from a pre-teen.  

Listen to "8" here:

 

Did "8" raise you consciousness?

 

For rock & roll lovers...

Lenny Kravitz cover art cover screams SEX, and that happens to be the title of his latest single. The funky guitar-driven groove kicks off Lenny's 10th album, aptly titled "Strut."

Talking to Billboard, Lenny described the direction of his upcoming disc saying, “It was recorded with minimal instrumentation, guitar, bass and drums. The strength of the groove comes from the sparse production which creates space.”

Lenny will "Strut" into music stores on September 23rd. In the meantime....enjoy "Sex" with Lenny.

Terrence Howard Wants Divorce Settlement Thrown Out, Says He CAN'T Afford It! + Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon’s Mansion Goes BACK On The Market

Terrence Howard is fighting his estranged wife in court. And it’s over the amount of spousal support he’s supposed to cough up. Meanwhile, the buyer who was going to purchase Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon’s Bel-Air mansion has backed out. Deets inside…

Although she filed for divorce over 3 years ago, Terrence Howard and his estranged wife Michelle Howard are still trying to come to an agreement on how much Terrence should be paying her for spousal support. He wants to have the divorce settlement thrown out so he filed legal documents to have it amended.

The TLAM2 star is making claims that he simply can’t afford the ridiculous amount of spousal support Michelle is requesting. He also believes she blackmailed him into signing the document. Michelle, who was only married to Terrence for one year, claims her ex owes her a whooping $325,000.

So why can't Terrence afford the spousal support? Well, according to him he is only bringing in $5,878 a month. He revealed he’s left that amount after coughing up coins to another ex-wife, Lori McMasters, to pay her spousal and child support. TMZ reports Terrence is an employee under Lori and has his movie money going straight to her and she cuts him a check after she gets her share. Hmmm…

Sounds a bit crazy but crazier ish has happened.
 

Meanwhile....

 photo mariahnickhome.jpg

Unfortunately for Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon, they are still on the hunt to unload their million-dollar Bel-Air mansion. The couple thought they had neogiated a $10 million deal for the uber luxe pad but apparently, the buyer backed out…and didn’t say why. Hmph.

Now the house is up for sale for a cool $13 million if any of you are interested.

 

EXTRAS:

1. Joe Jackson has started a blog, opening up about his very private family and writing personalized open letters to each of his children. In his most recent post, he penned a heartfelt letter to his daughter Janet Jackson, expressing his love for his youngest daughter. He went down memory lane reminiscing on the time when he fell ill after suffering from 4 strokes and she, along with his granddaughter Brandi were the only two people to visit him in the hospital.

Phaedra Parks is NOT taking a leave of absence from "RHOA"...and she's even filmed scenes with jailbound Apollo Nida!  Get more deets on Phaedra's RHOA situation inside and the good news about VH1's "Hit The Floor."

 

Rumor control!   Contrary to online reports, Phaedra Parks (shown above with RHOA co-star Kandi Burruss) has not taken a leave of absence from "RHOA."  While a story hit the net that Phaedra walked out on the show, it seems that's not fully the case.

TMZ reports that Phaedra has been filming for a month and has taped several scenes with Apollo Nida, who'll soon depart for an 8-year jail sentence.  While Phaedra may miss some filming to take care of family business, there's no way she'll allow Apollo's situation to cut in on her bread and butter.

VH1's hit scripted series "Hit The Floor" has been renewed for season 3.  While we enjoy the dance scenes and the thrilling soap opera storylines, we're most excited that we will get a third season of stars McKinley Freeman and Rob Riley

 photo djfjfdefvfv.png

Logan Browning, who plays "Hit The Floor" villainess Jelena, celebrated the good news on Instagram with a cast pic and a word of thanks for her fans,

"From the day I earned the privilege of playing Jelena to us now being a third season show, I've grown so much. In faith, character, performance, dance, even this new found popularity. I didn't expect any of it, but from the beginning of it all to today I have kept my dad's words close to my heart. It's what I've done & it works so it's what I will continue to do..."Have fun"! Thank you for having fun with us Devils Nation! Enjoy the last 2 episodes & we'll see you in #HTFSeason3"

Susan Levison, EVP of Original Programming & Production for VH1 said, ’Hit The Floor’ delivered again with fantastic ratings and social media engagement in season two, especially among women. We look forward to seeing what kind of trouble the Devil Girls will get into next season.”  And perhaps VH1 could do us all a favor as dedicate the entire season to the making of the faux ESPN "Body Issue." Just a thought.....

MAGAZINES: Pre-Baby Bump Zoe Saldana Goes Nude For Women's Health UK, Speaks On Journey To "Just Knowing Who The F**k I Was"

In pics taken prior to her "pregnancy" announcement, Zoe Saldana stripped down for the Naked issue of Women's Health magazine and shared her thoughts on aging, body image and finding true love with husband Marco Perego.  More inside....
 

 photo thighs2.jpg

"I do look in the mirror and see things I don't want."

 

For Women's Health UK and their Naked issue, Guardians Of The Galaxy Zoe Saldana opens up about her body issues. Yes....even she has body issues!  So she says.

In the article (with pics taken prior to her protruding baby bump), Zoe shares her thoughts on aging, slowing down and coming to love and accept her body for what it is. Here are the highlights:
 

On coming into her own and trust issues:

‘I've learnt to listen to myself, so whenever I don't feel like doing anything that starts with 'I should' then I don't."

On her body image:

"I'm exactly where I want to be. I do feel beautiful in a way that even when I was working out a whole lot, I sometimes didn't.
‘Because there have been times that I was really slender and I didn't like that I sometimes looked a little too muscular and flat chested - you'll never be completely happy, so at the end of the day it's like "F**k it. Just be happy, regardless."

 photo thighs3.jpg

On listening to nature:

This past year I've had to start letting go. My body dictated it as if saying, 'Slow the f**k down!' ... And I struggle with that. I love to be an athlete.’ ‘My body is less toned. I do look in the mirror and see things I don't want. My first reaction is I breathe and I think, 'I'm a woman, I'm 36, my body is changing.'’

On husband Marco Perego:

We give each other a great deal of support and love but it wasn't because we found it in each other, we came that way and then got together.  That's what I love about it. I do believe whatever's meant to be will be - but had the universe said,  'Let's just wait, he's going to come into your life later,' I would've been fine on this journey I was on just knowing who the f**k I was."

 

Zoe's issue of Women's Health UK is out now and her new flick Guardians of the Galaxy hits theaters August 1st.  Hot pics!

Last night, Young Jeezy celebrated his son Jadarius Jenkins’ 18th birthday in Atlanta. And fellow ATL rapper T.I. came out for the festivities. Peep the party pics inside….

 photo unnamed2.jpg

Taking a break from trekking the nation on his Under the Influence Tour with Wiz Khalifa, Young Jeezy threw a lavish dinner party with family and friends for his son Jaradrius’ 18th birthday at Gio’s in Atlanta last night.

Good friend of Jeezy’s and fellow rapper T.I. was also in attendance. We hear Tiny was also there but she somehow steered clear of any pictures.

 photo unnamreed.jpg

Looks like everything is good between Jeezy and his son now. You’ll recall, the "Seen It All" rapper was arrested earlier this year for allegedly serving his son with a brutal beat down and threatening to kill him. He was charged with battery, terroristic threats and false imprisonment. Guess they hashed things out.  Nice cars and fancy parties always seem to do the trick....

 photo unnamed.jpg

Like most 18-year-olds, Jadarius had a chick on his arm. Looks like he’s down with the swirl.

And his pops posed it up with one of the kiddies at the party.

MAGAZINE FAB: Tracee Ellis Ross Talks Love, Being BLACK, Keeping Her Booty Right In UPSCALE’s August 2014 Issue

 photo traceeupascale.jpg

Tracee Ellis Ross is serving up some Diana Ross tease for the August 2014 cover of UPSCALE magazine. Peep her fab cover and find out what she had to say about being black, loving her body at the age of 41 and more inside…

Actress Tracee Ellis Ross is gracing the cover of UPSCALE magazine’s August 2014 issue with all of her beauty. And we are so loving that face and her curls!

Tracee is starring in a new comedy series coming to ABC (September 24th) titled, “Black-ish,” where she plays a mother-of-four named Rainbow Johnson. Tracee's character is the wife to Anthony Anderson’s character and the two of them are searching to find a sense of cultural identity while raising their kids in a predominantly white, upper-middle-class neighborhood. The show is scripted by Kenya Barris and produced by Laurence Fishburne’s (who is also starring in the sitcom) Cinema Gypsy production company.

So in the new issue of UPSCALE, the “Black-ish” star dished on what it means to be black, how she thinks people will react to the new comedy sitcom, keeping her booty rotund at the age of 41 (which she's doing a damn good job at) and more.

Here are the highlights:

On what it means to be black:
“What is blackness? What is being black? Who defines that and do we need to define that? I don’t have the answers to all of those questions but I think these are the conversations we’re all still having.”

On her ABC show, Black-ish:
“The beauty of the show is that it’s just a family comedy, but it has another layer to it. I don’t know what I necessarily want people to think or talk about after watching it but for me in general with cultural identity, racial identity and feminist identity, dialogue is important. People communicating in a light and open way about issues that have a lot of depth and weight to them is a great thing.”

On loving her body:
“I’m proud of my body—I work very hard to keep my body at 41 years-old, because my booty could drop… Gravity is not a joke.”

On advice & romance:
“Any one rule [as it pertains to romantic relationships] that people think works everywhere is just not true. In general, with everything it’s an intimate discovery of trusting yourself and allowing yourself the room to have curiosity about life and self.”

Check out a clip from the pilot episode of “Black-ish” below:

The show premieres on Wednesday, September 24th at 9:30/8:30c on ABC.  We'll be watching!

Nelly SHADES Floyd Mayweather About His Education Level + Floyd Shades Miss Jackson In Birthday Message To Doralie Medina

Floyd Mayweather showered his new chick Doralie "Bad" Medina with a photo gallery, a birthday message, several watches and more for her birthday this week.  But the message had some indirect shade thrown at his ex Miss Jackson.  Check it inside, plus what Nelly had to say about Floyd....

For girlfriend Doralie Medina's birthday dinner over the weekend, Floyd had desserts, jewelry and a Bugatti waiting for his chick:

 photo 10561142_809263649114087_821911770_n_zps92fce90a.jpg

 

 

 

But it was the below message below, accompanied with a photo gallery of pics of the twosome, that Floyd posted that had folks like, DAMN:

 Happy birthday @badmedina. I appreciate you and I LOVE you. You've been by my side for 5 years and helped me win 5 of my 11 World titles. Every time I called on you, you were my shoulder to cry on and a friend that I could talk to about anything. Every gift you received from me, you truly deserve because you're a gift that God gave me.

 

5 years?  He just broke up with Miss Jackson 1 year ago.  Given, she COULD have JUST been the "massage therapist and friend" the four year prior.  But knowing Floyd...

 

Meanwhile, now that Miss Jackson is with Nelly, folks have been trying to get his take on the beef between him and Floyd:

So Nelly went on ESPN this week and answered a few questions.  The sports fan talked about everything from the "Tip Drill" video to Floyd's education level.

On which celebs asked to be edited out of the "Tip Dril" video but thoroughly enjoyed the shoot

"I am not Jose Conseco.  I am not saying.  There were a whole lot of people who weren't edited in.  I don't think it was for tv purposes, it was for at-home purposes."

On the beef between Nelly and Floyd

"I don't have a beef with Floyd Mayweather.  For me, for the most part, I think the whole thing is misunderstood.  I try to understand where he's coming from which is a little hard to do.  He's one of those people who don't like the word No said to him.  And if anybody does that, it gets under his skin a little bit.  I don't know.  It's kind of hard talking to someone who hasn't graduated High School."

On the craziest experience with a fan

"I had a woman drive all the way from Houston, TX to my front door with a 14-year-old, swearing up and down he was my son."

Oh Nelly...

The rap game just isn’t what it use to be. French Montana just released the visuals to his track “R&B B*tches” featuring Fabolous and Wale. Meanwhile, Chris Brown's new neighbors are not happy about the singer's recent move. And they aren't holding back any feelings about it...hurling threats and all...allegedly. Peep the video and find out what they said inside…

French Montana has a dream. And it’s screwing every R&B chick in the game. At least he's more specific than Lil Wayne's "Every Girl In the World".  As lame and misogynistic as it is...

Oddly, these chicks are the complete opposite of his current main chick (besides his wife) Khloe Kardashian.

As he gears up to release his sophomore album Mac & Cheese 4, Frenchie dropped the visuals to his new Eif Rivera-directed video for his latest single, “R&B Bitches” featuring Fabolous and Wale. While sailing the ocean in a yacht, the Coke Boy runs down his list of R&B chicks he would like to get it in with including Rihanna, Kelly Rowland, Mary J. Blige and…Ashanti, who made a cameo in the video.

Fabolous chimes in with his dream list including Christina Milian, Christina Aguilera and Kelly Clarkson, while Wale dreams of hopping in the bed with Erykah Badu, Tamar Braxton and new R&B sensation Tinashe.

Sighs...

And in another new video...

Since taking shots at Kim Kardashian and Kanye West on his controversial track “I Hit It First,” Ray J is back to singing about is personal life. He’s sliding back on the music scene with his brand new track “Never Shoulda Did That.”  

"For me the song is about recognizing where I am in my life now and thinking about some of the things I've done that I have come to regret." He continued, "This song is my way of moving forward."

The single will be featured on his upcoming mixtape Ray J: Uncut 2, which will be available for fans in August…for free.

We feelin' it?

 

And in other R&B news...

Seems the word on the street that Chris Brown is allegedly a lousy neighbor travels fast! After all of the drama surrounding Breezy and his old neighbors in West Hollywood, looks like his new neighbors are going to be even worse.

Breezy is currently renting an 8,000 square foot luxe bachelor pad in San Fernando Valley, complete with six bedrooms, a dance studio, a commercial ice cream bar and tennis court. With the new house, comes new neighbors. And they are NOT feeling CB.

TMZ spoke with one of the “Loyal” singer’s neighbors about their new resident and he/she got straight to the point, spewing physical threats towards Chris if he ever thought about setting foot on his property. He/she allegedly said "It can be the devil. I can care less. I don't care if they're having orgies. It can even be Saddam Hussein for all I care, as long as he doesn't trespass onto my property. If he does, I shoot him."

Well damn.

Luckily, the R&B bad boy just copped himself $3 million worth of security…two Chinese Tibetan mastiffs. Hope they can stop bullets.

Stephen A. Smith was suspended from ESPN's "First Take" this week, but he announced a new gig on SiriusXM in the meantime. Also, get deets on new movie roles for Sherri Shepherd and Jamie Foxx.

 

For ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith, there's good news AND bad news.  GOOD NEWS - He's leaving his ESPN Radio gig to head over to SiriusXM where he'll appear alongside Chris "Mad Dog" Russo on Mad Dog Radio for the 1-3 pm timeslot. BAD NEWS (for him) - He was suspended from ESPN's "First Take." He was not fired, but in television, if you miss a day - you miss a lot.

A statement on the First Take website read,

"ESPN announced today that Stephen A. Smith will not appear on First Take or ESPN Radio for the next week. He will return to ESPN next Wednesday."

The suspension (of sorts) came after Stephen's comments on domestic violence went viral and sparked outrage.  On Monday, Stephen apologized for the remarks calling them "the most egregious error of my career."

Speaking to ABC NEWS, Mike (pictured above at Comic-Con clowning around with the brand new Beats by Dre Pill XL speakers), says he's met with Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx about collaborating on a project:

"Me and Jamie Foxx have been talking and he's willing to take that role and portray me as Mike Tyson, doing my life story. 'I think he's splendid because he's really up to par. I think he would do a magnificent job. He doesn't have the physicality but he will. He's able to ... get bulky, so he's capable of doing it in the future."

We'll keep you posted as more deets about the project are revealed.

DUMP & GRIND: R. Kelly Ixnayed From "Fashion Meets Music Festival" Over SCANDALOUS Past + Teyana Taylor GETS Served With A Crossover At The Jordan XX9 Release Event

R. Kelly was bumped from a music festival in Ohio after other performers refused to share the stage with him. Get the deets inside and watch the viral video of Teyana Taylor getting crossed over.

 

R. Kelly's past is coming back to bite him in the butt...financially.  He was recently dropped from the line-up of the Fashion Meets Music Festival in Columbus, Ohio following an outcry about his past allegations of child abuse.

The "12 Play" singer was due to perform last night, but both he and the festival organizers released statements to Columbus Alive to announce his departure.

The organizer said,“Fashion Meets Music Festival and headlining artist R Kelly have come to the mutual decision to cancel Kelly's upcoming performance at the inaugural Fashion Meets Music Festival.”

Meanwhile, a publicist for R. Kelly said: “R Kelly is sorry to disappoint his fans, but looks forward to seeing them in the near future during one of his upcoming tours.”

What happened? First, Folk rock band Saintseneca, who were also due to perform, wrote on their website that they were withdrawing because“we feel [Kelly’s] selection as a performer ignores his very serious allegations of sexual violence and assault”.

Then, local radio station WCBE 90.5 FM also backed out. General manager Dan Mushalko said that due to the opinions of listeners and those of Columbus City Schools (who hold their license),"Obviously, since they represent children and they represent teenagers, they didn’t want us associated with the event if R. Kelly was a part of it...So whether you looked at it from our internal ethics, or the feedback from our listeners and the school district, it came down to everything saying, ‘You just can’t do it.’”

After the story of folks backing out began to gather speed on social media, organizers decided to cut ties with Robert. Of course, R. Kelly was tried and acquitted of child pornography charges in 2008......but we haven't forgotten what we saw on that tape (and neither has anyone else).

As singer Tank preps for the release of his new album Stronger, he follows up his hit song "You're My Star" with the lush balled "Hope This Makes You Love Me."  Tank, who also appears on the inaugural cover of SINGERSROOM Magazine, is challenging fans to become "stronger" with a 30-day quest in the areas of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellness #STRONGERU.  While discussing the new album, he defined what is means to be "Stronger":

“It’s the person who isn’t afraid to take that emotional leap, someone that isn’t afraid to share that sensitivity, the person who isn’t afraid to be vulnerable, that’s the strongest because it’s easy to not get involved," It takes a stronger person to rebound and to get back up from being knocked down. I’m gonna continue to be emotionally available, continue to put my heart out there, eventually it’ll work in my favor... That is what I consider strength, that is how I define a real man, that, at the end of the day, will cry for his woman...those are the types of men that I was raised by, and that’s the type of man that I want to be.”
