Angelina's Brave Decision – and Her Next Surgery
The actress, 37, has experienced no complications since undergoing a double mastectomy in February and reconstructive surgery in April. "She is doing well," a source says.  But her medical odyssey is not done. The mother of six is also planning to undergo surgery to remove her ovaries. Because of her "faulty" BRCA1 gene, she still faces a high risk of developing ovarian cancer, which her doctors estimate at 50 percent. Some doctors recommend patients undergo the surgery by age 40 or when a woman is done having children, though it may trigger early menopause.  For now, though, the actress and her fiancé, Brad Pitt, have been focused on maintaining a sense of routine for their kids – keeping up family traditions such as a Valentine's Day gift exchange and an Easter egg hunt while Jolie was undergoing treatment.  In the weeks surrounding the surgeries, "life was normal" for the children, says a source, and they didn't notice anything amiss.


  A new Mo'Nique! The 45-year-old "Precious" actress has dramatically changed her lifestyle with intense, daily workouts to get in shape -- and it's paid off in a big way. In a new interview with "The Cipha Sounds & Rosenberg Show" on New York's Hot 97 FM, Mo'Nique explained that husband Sidney Hicks was the one who encouraged her to change her habits. "It made me say [to myself], 'OK, sis, you got these babies. The twins [Jonathan and David] are 7, [stepson] Michael's 9, Shalon's 22.' And I want to meet their babies. So, I said, 'Let me stop being selfish, and eating everything.' And I ate everything. ... I was a food junkie." Now, the Oscar-winning actress has been documenting her daily workouts in pictures on Twitter, and writing inspirational messages in hopes that others will join her. "We can always get a quick fix. However what will be the long term effects," she wrote on Wednesday. "Do it naturally, benefits . . . PRICELESS." Mo'Nique mixes up her workouts by lifting weights, running, doing yoga, playing basketball and other activities. She also documents on Twitter that she's taken a minimum of 10,000 steps, and done 50 sit-ups per day.  Mo'Nique said she currently weighs 218 pounds after "tipping 300" when she starred in the 1999 sitcom "The Parkers." "My goal is between 190 and 200," she shared, but she's already very pleased with her results.


Will Smith: ‘No Emancipation For The Smith Kids’
Will Smith and his son, Jaden Smith, are clearing up emancipation rumors.Following a report that Jaden, 14, was looking to become legally free from his parents, the father-son duo (who are also “After Earth” co-stars) set the record straight on Wednesday’s “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” “I just heard you are trying to become emancipated, is that right?” the talk show host asked Jaden. “See, here is the thing that you need to understand — I’m not going anywhere,” Jaden said. “The thing that people don’t get is everything at this house is free. So I can get anything and everything at his house so I’m going to be there 20, 30 more years,” he continued. Things might change once Jaden’s film career takes off. “He says as soon as I have a movie that’s bigger than one of his movies, I can get my own house,” he said with a laugh. So how did the emancipation story even get started?  “I think I made a joke in Tokyo. I mean, my baby boy he’s never leaving me, ever,” Will told Ellen. “No emancipation for the Smith kids.”

Kelly Rowland reveals Beyonce jealousy, abusive relationship in 'Dirty Laundry'
Kelly Rowland has dropped a new single, titled "Dirty Laundry," off her upcoming solo album "Talk a Good Game." The lyrics of the song are an honest retelling of some hard times the singer went through, dealing with jealousy of her fellow Destiny's Child singer Beyonce and a man she was in an abusive relationship with.  Here are a few of the lyrics:

Let's do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry
Let's do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry

When you soak in tears for years it never airs out
When you make pain look this good it never wears out
This dirty laundry, this dirty laundry

While my sister was on stage, killing it like a motherf***er
I was enraged feeling it like a motherf***er

Bird in a cage, you would never know what I was dealing with
We went our separate ways, but I was happy she was killing it

Bittersweet, she was up, I was down,
No lie, I feel good or her, but what do I do now?

Forget the record, it's off the record
I was going through some bulls***
Post-Survivor, she on fire
Who wanna hear my bulls***?
Meanwhile this n**** putting his hands on me
Swear y'all don't know the half of this industry

TV NEWS
A shake-up at the top of "The Voice" is on its way: Shakira has confirmed she won't be returning for the show's season 5. When asked on Tuesday night after the Top 12 elimination show, whether she'd come back next season, she said, "Not for next season, for sure." She added that she wanted to "get back to my baby (4-month-old Milan) -- give him some love and dedicate some time to him and also to my new album that I'm working on." There is speculation that original "Voice" coach Christina Aguilera will step in when Shakira leaves and that the singer will receive $12 million for her appearance, though neither is confirmed.


The CW confirmed what fans already pretty much already figured out: That the fourth season will be the last for Nikita. The first clue was that the network only ordered six episodes. The second was a tweet by showrunner Craig Silverstein last week promising an “incredible finish.” The third was, frankly, that Nikita‘s ratings were so low it was tough to imagine an open-ended scenario.


Jennifer Lopez is the newly appointed chief creative officer of NUVOtv. The versatile J-Lo was announced last fall as a creative partner with the English-language Latino network, but her role was solidified Wednesday as NUVOtv held its upfront for advertisers and prepared for a re-launch of its programming in July. In an interview before the presentation, Lopez said about two years ago she was approached by NUVOtv to serve “probably more as the face of the network. But once we sat down and I started expressing my point of view about the programming and the network, it grew into something bigger.” Lopez will also be the subject of a 90-minute biographical special, the network said. Among new series announced will be “Gotta Dance,” a behind-the-scenes look at the lives of professional dancers accompanying Lopez on a world concert tour. Other series announced include “Rodney’s Joy,” a reality show about Grammy Award-winning producer Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins as he takes on a new client — his wife, Joy Enriquez — as well as “Mario Lopez: One on One,” an interview show.
