Nicole Murphy may be busy making her own promo rounds for her new VH1 show "Hollywood Exes," but she was all about her man Michael Strahan this morning as he co-hosted "Live With Kelly."  Pics of the gorgeous reality star, her co-star Andrea Kelly and the drama with her ex R. Kelly, plus Zoe Saldana looking fresh & summery out in NYC...

Nicole Murphy was spotted looking fab outside of ABC studios in midtown Manhattan this morning as her boyfriend, NFL sportscaster Michael Strahan, hit the "Live With Kelly!' stage as this morning's co-host.

Loving this colorful ombre maxi dress:

The mom of 5 seems to be the sensitive yet fun & drama free cast member so far.  And, surprisingly, we were feeling the premiere episode of "Hollywood Exes" that aired Monday night.

Nicole's animated and quite comical co-star Andrea Kelly was spotted hopping out Wendy Williams' studio after appearing on the show Monday.  The professional choreographer injured her foot while dancing the tango...but she kept it moving with the promo.  Her ex-husband on the other hand, is doing anything BUT.

Today, word broke that R. Kelly canceled all of his appearances scheduled for today in NYC.  The Chicago native apparently is suffering an "emergency illness" that is keeping him home.  His people tell TMZ:

"Initial indications are that he is suffering from complications from surgery he had last year to treat an abscess on his vocal cords.  We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused."

He was scheduled to do a book launch at Barnes & Nobles in Tribeca for his new memoir, Soula Coaster: The Diary of Me.  He was also scheduled to appear on "The Today Show" and "Jimmy Fallon." 

Also out in NYC this morning, actress Zoe Saldana was spotted running errands looking extra summery rocking the new DKNY Eyewear Wayfarer shades:

The 34-year-old recently wrapped the Star Trek sequel (yet to be titled), and it's set to hit theaters May 13, 2013.  About how she will be reprising her controversial role of "Nyota Uhura," who has a relationship with the "Spock" character, she said in an interview:

All I’m going to say is, if you put all the time and energy and wit into setting these two characters together in the first movie and didn’t follow through, it would be a shame.

Zoe's currently filming the 70's thriller Blood Ties in the City.

Jennifer Hudson just put a soulful spin on a classic lullaby for Pampers for little babies around the world. Get the deets inside and find out who's on her summer playlist....

Jennifer Hudson, who is pictured rocking a sheer star-printed Equipment blouse after her "Good Morning America" appearance today, spoke with The BoomBox about the Pampers project.  The mom of little David, Jr. recreated "Brahms' Lullaby" for the diaper company and the track will be available as a free download on the Pampers Facebook page.

The company is also donating $100,000 to the Julian D. King Gift Foundation, the charity Jenny and her sister Julia created in honor of her slain nephew.

She described her recording saying,

"The sweetest, lovable, loving and soothing and happy all in one song. I wanted it to feel good, too. Sometimes lullabies kind of feel like Christmas songs. I still want to keep that same spirit, still where it's like soothing. That song where you can just play, because when my baby was born, I would play jazz music and light candles and hold him around the house until he would fall asleep. And I want to bottle it all up into this and have that moment where you have a special moment with your child but still when that song ends, that baby's asleep. That's the little gift and the treat that the moms get. Like, "Whew, I get a break" [laughs]."

She added that being a mom herself definitely helped:

"I'm sure other moms will get that, that bond, that specialness, whether you sing or not, that you can hum to your child, that moment. When my baby was first born, like now I can't sleep without him. When I'm away from him, I can't sleep because he's not here. So when he was a baby in the middle of the night, nobody's getting up but mom. I don't care if you have a nanny or not, only mom is getting up in the middle of the night. But those are the moments I cherish the most, and that to me is what "Lullaby" gives, that moment."

She later revealed that Whitney Houston's "I Want To Dance With Somebody," "Domino" by Jessie J. and Drake & Rihanna's "Take Care" are high on her Summer playlist.  Loves it.

Keyshia Cole just released her new single cover for her upcoming track with Lil Wayne, "Enough of No Love."  Our homies over at Rap-Up posted the cover for the single that will be from her fifth studio album, Woman To Woman.

Keyshia's keeping the blonde locks (which we kinda love) as she poses in a black leather bustier top and gold Chanel earrings.  The single will hit iTunes July 10.  And she already shot the Benny Boom-directed vid with Weezy.  Glad she's on the comeback tip....

And rapper Iggy Azalea released her new GLORY EP cover.

The usually blonde and striking Grand Hustle recording artist, recent Wilhelmina Models signee, and Aussie rap chick Iggy brings a mysterious ethereal red laced thematic feel to her EP cover. Glory will be released this summer and will feature T.I., B.o.B., Mike Posner and more.   Check out the newest single above, "MDM" Ft. B.O.B.

Jennifer Hudson is hard at work.  No days off for the Holiday as the slim and trim and cleavage rocking YBF chick rlle dinto Boston to rehearse for her upcoming independence Day concert.  Pics inside, plus Nicki Minaj arriving back home to Trinidad to film her next video....

Jenny Hudson looked fabulous in this long fitted Zebra print dress with a low cut neckline and high slit.  The Weight Watchers spokeswoman rehearsed with the Boston ops yesterday as she will be headlining the big outdoor festival on the Charles River off the Boston Harbour tonight.

She's looking amazing these days.  And before hopping on stage, the Winnie actress was spotted arriving to the arena looking laid back and casual:

Her next gig?  She's set to star in the upcoming The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete with director George Tillman Jr.  According to IMDB, it's a coming of age story about two inner city youths, who are left to fend for themselves over the summer after their mothers are taken away by the authorities.
 

And look who else is working through the Holiday.   Yesterday, Nicki Minaj jetted to Trinidad.  The reason for the trip back home to where she was born--she's filming another island video today with director Benny Boom.  This time it's for her track, which will be released as a single for her International fans, "Pound The Alarm."

Nicki tweeted today: "Rise and shine Trinidad!!!!!!! Time to shoot #poundthealarm

She was spotted strolling through the airport carrying a Trini flag.  And snapping pics with awaiting fans:

The "Starships" rapper put out a casting call earlier this week asking or 500 extras to participate in a big Carnivale scene.  This video ought to be interesting...

Rumor has it that Fantasia's baby daddy Antwaun Cook has moved on to his next victim.  We don't know if his divorce from his estranged wife Paula is final yet, but we do hear that former "Bad Girls Club" star, Kendra James, is his newest boo thang. See their Instagram love inside and get deets on Kendra's suspicious behavior......

Kendra James, a former star of Oxygren's "Bad Girls Club," recently posted a pic of her looking quite "close" to a young man.  But once folks on her Instagram asked if the dude was Fantasia's baby daddy Antwaun Cook (since it very much looks like him), the pic was mysteriously deleted.  And Kendra also deleted the link from her Twitter account.  Why go through all of that behind a simple question Kendra?

The reality chick also posted a second pic with two other gentleman, whom a source identified as Antwaun's fraternity brothers. Our source added that Antwaun revealed to his own friends that he and Kendra ARE dating and have been together about 3 months.

And Ant has had some suspicious social media behavior of his own.   At one point, he was following only one person on Instagram and it was Kendra James. He's added a few more now.  But since she was your very first, we put money on it some chop down action is going on somewhere.

Do you boo.

Over the weekend, reality star Yandy Smith and her bady's daddy--who she always keeps on the low--Mandeecees had a fab baby shower in NYC. Get the pics and deets on Missy Elliot, Kimbella and Juelz Santana at the celebration inside.....

We finally get to see who Yandy's man is exactly.  The fella's name is Mandeecees--and he and Yandy have already named their baby boy (unless it's his last name).  The party was a blue and green "Welcome Baby Harris" shower at Tian restaurant in NYC recently.

While hosting guests like Missy Elliot, Kimbella, Juelz Santana and Maino, Yandy worked the room in her white Tadashi Shoji dress Giuseppe Zanotti shoes.

And by the end of the evening, she'd been gifted an Orbit G2 Stroller System and $3000 worth of post-pregancy fitness services from VelaShape.  I guess she'll be snapping back fast.

She posted pics on her website Everything Girls Love..... 

Her "Love & Hip Hop" co-star Kimbella's baby bump is now much more obvious (seemed to be non existent for a minute) and Yandy's clients Missy and Juelz Santana were there too.

She later tweeted and thanked her 200+ guests saying,

One of the best days of my life. Now I'm sharing it with you my loves.

Ms. Smith is due sometime this month.

As film cameras rolled for "Ev And Ocho," reality stars Evelyn Lozada and Chad Ochocinco Johnson tied the knot yesterday. The tropical wedding topped off a Holiday celebration with the NFLer and reality stars' friends and fams.

Chad walked his fans through the wedding with a play by play on Twitter.  Before he saw Ev come down the aisle, he said, I'm breathing like a pregnant lady in lamaze class right now... I was hoping continuing to tweet with y'all support would calm me down.' 

After calming down and exchanging vows, Chad's tweets were very extra happy.  And so were the tipsy guests apparently:

Chad also tweeted a pic of the Louboutins he wore down the aisle.

And he also shared his special day with a Twitter fan named Cheryl Minton, who he spontaneusly invited after she tweeted him she had recently lost her husband of 30 years. He tweeted, 'Turn Up Ms. Cheryl, bring ya smile, dancing shoes and appetite... let me know when you receive confirmation... Turn up...'

Sweet!

Star Jones and Wendy Williams will be hooking up to turn Star's book "Satan's Sisters" into a made-for-tv film for VH1! Deets inside....

As VH1 continues to add steamy tv movies/shows to its lineup, we've found out that Star Jones' dishy book "Satan's Sisters" is next up to bat.  Star will be linking up with talkshow diva Wendy Williams and legendary film and music executive Suzanne de Passe for a made-for-tv movie about the book that is set to become a tv series.  

The project will be produced under the “Wendy Williams Presents” banner and follow the lives of several female co-hosts on a popular talkshow similar to Star's ex job "The View."  And with Star being besties with such fab actresses as Lela Rochon and Vanessa Bell Calloway, you know the casting will be well played.

By the way, Star's name is also in the mix today after comments she made about Anderson Cooper coming out of the closet just for ratings.  She said, 

He's a daytime talk show host and when the rating slip in daytime, the hosts tend to tell you lots of things about them.'  

She added, 'I remember Oprah said she smoked crack, Oprah said she was pregnant at 14 and considered suicide.  There [are] times when you generate information for ratings.'

Hmm....Star may be right but she just totally called Anderson out for throwing up a Hail Mary to get ratings.  Play nice Star!

Anja said: 'We talked about porn looks these days, and he agreed with me that there's no porn out there that is beautiful aesthetically and integrates fashion to make a beautiful image.'

She added: 'We were on the same page about a lot of things ... I thought it would be really interesting to make it seem like we were entering Kanye's head. 'It's not pornographic, but it's very sensual.'

You be the judge:

According to TMZ, shocking news was confirmed by friends of Myla, who say she's 3 months pregnant. I'm sure Kim Kardashian's lawyers will have a field day with this one! 

Although the former couple has been talking regularly, sources said Myla has not broken the news to Kris yet.  Gess he knows now.  Also, for now, Myla says she will raise the baby alone because she's still hurt that Kris trashed her in the press.  This is foolery...

Rihanna's lawyers just filed a major lawsuit in Manhattan on Thursday.  Find out the whopping allegations that say her accountants stuck her for her millions, plus more pics, video and details fro Chad & Evelyn Johnson's wedding in St. Marteen....

Back in 2009 while Rihanna was trotting around the globe on her Last Girl On Earth tour, she hired New York accounting firm Berdon LLP  to handle her money business.  And now, she says they swindled her out of millions and are still costing her a serious amount of cash because they caused her to be audited.

E! Online reports that in the court docs, Rihanna blames Berdon for not informing her that concert costs were becoming overwhelming--and she was never advised to pull back on the spending.  Why?  Because some type of way, the company allegedly made a way for them to receive 22% of her concert profits.  So they wanted the tour, which grossed $40 million, to continue.  And Rihanna, herself, only received 6%.

The "Birthday Cake" singer accused the company of becoming lazy with her tax paperwork from 2008-2010, which has now caused her to be audited by the IRS.  She also accuses them of giving her bad advice, like purchasing that $6.9 mill home in L.A. that ended up being a money pit that she had to quickly sell.

"Despite having earned millions of dollars in revenues during Berdon's tenure Fenty learned that her net income after payment of expenses and exorbitant commissiones to defendant was a fraction of that amount," the suit states.

Ri Ri is suing for breach of contract and negligence.  The upside?  Her new accounting firm seems to be working out great since her profits are up by 40%.

In other news, Chad and Evelyn Johnson just posted their first pic as a married couple.  And their 4th of July nuptials were anything but perfect. 

NFL baller Chad took over wife Ev's Twitter account for a few days leading up to the wedding, so she appeared today, bathing suit clad, saying hello to her followers from her Mrs. Johnson post-wedding pool party in St. Maarten.

She also tweeted about the earthquakes and storms right before the nuptials:

This is Mrs. Johnson, not Chad for the first time in a few days... There was a REAL earthquake, thunderstorms, then a wedding. #PerfectDay

Still tripping about the earthquake!!! 5.2 on the richter scale!!! 30 minutes before I walked down the aisle! Only on my day! #CoolShit

And a pic of her fat wedding ring and band from Jason of Beverly Hills...while still in bed.

Chad posted a video that he snapped just minutes before walking down the aisle.  Dude was mad nervous.  Of course no pics or video of the actual ceremony.  We'll have to wait til their "Ev & Ocho" show airs for that....

Rihanna trades in her all black everything and tomboyish style she's been rocking lately...for the white hot August 2012 issue of HARPER'S BAZAAR. See Rihanna donning a series of designer gowns and suits, and honoring her Gran Gran Dolly inside.....

Rihanna, rocking a cutaway Calvin Klein Collection dress and Neil Lane jewelry above and on the cover, may be dealing with the death of her Grandmother.  But in HARPER'S BAZAAR, she seems to be figuring out her life the way she wants to.

The vulnerable rock star reveals that she's rebellious, is scared of falling in love again, and wants her ass back.  Here's a few highlights:

On her rebellious behavior:

"I'm rebellious through my music, through my fashion, tattoos, and my hair. I have been conservative in my love life… it's pretty much nonexistent. If I come across someone who I find really cool, I'll hang out. But the minute I find that we’re getting too close I just—I don't let people in."

On Chris Brown's "Birthday Cake" remix:

"The fans could have said, 'We don’t want anything to do with it." I understood that people had every right to be concerned about it. But I didn't see it that way because I'm in a different place."

On being fearful of love again:

"When I was in love, I fell so hard. I was really, really, really in love. The way it made me feel was priceless. And in a blink of an eye my whole life changed. Everything that I knew was different. I never thought I'd feel that pain in my life. I'm afraid of feeling that again."

On her new extra slim body:

"I don't know if there's something going on with my body right now, but I’m eating everything in life!" she laughs. "I miss my ass. It just went away! I need a butt. I have an idea of one, but it's not living up to its full potential right now."
