Jada Pinkett Smith is starring in the upcoming Magic Mike sequel and she’s gushing over her co-star Michael Strahan and his stripper moves. Also, Sherri Shepherd's soon-to-be ex-husband Lamar Sally sat down with "Inside Edition" and he’s dishing on life as single father. More inside…
“Gotham” actress Jada Pinkett Smith is hard at work on a set nowadays. The 43-year-old actress is starring in a hit FOX crime-thriller series playing the evil character Fish Mooney and recently, she was confirmed for a role in the upcoming stripper flick sequel, Magic Mike XXL.
Also starring in the sequel film is “Live with Kelly & Michael” co-host Michael Strahan. In a recent interview with "EXTRA" correspondent AJ Calloway (taped on the “Gotham” set), Jada talked about her new role in the film. And when asked about Michael dancing around in a thong she gushed on her co-star’s “tricks.” She spilled,
"Am I enjoying it? Yes I am!" Jada also shared that her "Magic Mike XXL" co-star Michael Strahan has got his stripping act down. "Oh, let me tell you. I think that was probably the best moment of the show…I said stop playing and stop acting like you never did this before…This ain't your first run. You've done this before!…He was genius."
But don’t think Michael’s moves have anything on her man Will Smith. It's all about "Magic Will" in the bedroom. She quickly responded "No, no, no. I don't do that at home. It's all about Magic Will at home and he's got it down."
We bet! She also gave a little inside scoop on Will’s next possible upcoming role,
"He might be thinking of playing a DC character. We're going to keep that under the wraps for a minute…We were excited that we might be in the DC family together."
Nice! And how about her budding musicians Willow Smith and Jaden Smith?
"It's beautiful to see them coming in to their own. They're their own people. As a mom I couldn't be more proud, really."
Sweet!

And in another interview...
Sherri Shepherd’s soon-to-be ex-husband Lamar Sally is living the single dad life now since the demise of his relationship with the Broadway star. Sal has been pretty public with his split from the former “View” co-host and this interview was no different.
During a sitdown with “Inside Edition”, the self-proclaimed TV “writer/producer” revealed he and Sherri (or possibly JUST Sherri, based on how we hear their bank accounts are set up....) paid $100,000 for a surrogate to carry a baby (in which he claims Sherri desperately wanted) for them since they couldn’t produce one on their own. After Sherri couldn’t get pregnant, they met with a surrogate who closely resembled Sherri, using her donor egg. He said,
“Yes, she met her a couple of times. We even used a facial recognition program so we can pick a person that can sort of look like Sherri.”
Problem is…six months in the marriage, Sal alleges Sherri said she no longer wanted to be married to him anymore and wanted a divorce. He responded,
“She says, ‘Sal, I don't think I can be the wife and mother that you need and I think we should divorce.’”
Baby Lamar Jr. was born in August, but since the split, Sherri doesn’t want anything to do with the baby. He said she tried to offer him settlement money to keep her name off the birth certificate, but he refused to take it.
“She offered me a settlement of $150,000 but it was not to have her name on the birth certificate. I can't do that to my son,” said Sal.
The 44-year-old single dad also revealed his infant son was born with a rare genetic disorder called G6PD deficiency, which affects red blood cells. And if not monitored closely, the condition could be fatal.
So what does Sal believe was the cause of their split after two years of marriage?
“She has a lot of issues, that's all I can say,” he said.
SHE has a lot of issues? This guy…..
