NO SCANDAL KERRY WASHINGTON IS LEGALLY MARRIED HERE'S THE PROOF

Kerry Washington has been faced with a couple of silly rumors lately. One being that she and husband Nnamdi Asomugha weren't really ...

The couple was the subject of a rumor that alleged they pretended to marry in a secret ceremony in Idaho after Kerry learned she was knocked up. The San Francisco 49ers waived Asomugha on Nov. 4.

From Radaronline.com:

“They are legally married,” JoLynn Drage, recorder with the Blaine County Clerk’s Office told Radar on Wednesday of Washington and Asomugha. “They first got their affidavit, then the marriage license. They had the ceremony and brought it back with the officiant’s signature. Both documents have been filed and recorded, which means a wedding did take place and they are legally married.”

There were reports that surfaced last week online claiming they had “legit” proof that there is no evidence of a marriage, citing a search through the Blaine County Clerk’s office that revealed no results for a marriage between the Scandal star and her NFL hubby. But Radar easily did a search on Wednesday that produced marriage results for both Washington and Asomugha, putting to rest the conspiracy theory that the couple is not actually married. “Everything about their marriage is legal,” Drage concluded.

Case closed....Next!

ALREADY...JENNIFER HUDSON GET A STAR ON THE HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME

No this  how you arrive honey, Jennifer Hudson sure has come a long way since her early days on American Idol!

The Oscar winner was honored with the 2,512th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Wednesday, Nov. 13 in Los Angeles, Calif., where the 32-year-old singer-actress smiled as she posed for pics, looking stunning in a fitted white dress.

The short-haired beauty paired her sexy look with a pair of white pointed-toe pumps, simple silver jewelry and a dark manicure for fall, flaunting her slim and trim frame in her white-hot ensemble while taking full advantage of the sunny day in L.A.

Music industry executive Clive Davis spoke at the ceremony, gushing over J.Hud's successful rise to the top in Hollywood over the past 10 years, while comparing her to two legendary singers.

"I didn't sign her to a recording contract at the very beginning," he recalled. "But when I saw her, I saw her screen test for Dreamgirls, I knew that she was truly a unique, original artist whose career would be nothing short of spectacular so I did sign her, then…I was stunned by her acting range, she was the real deal…and that voice. I had been privileged over the years to work with two of the greatest voices of all time: Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston. I never thought I'd hear another voice to compare and yet staring me in the face was a new voice that did compare. It literally sent shivers up my spine."

Hudson later took the stage, fighting back tears as she thanked God for her success as well as her fans for their support.

"I knew I would get emotional and I'm sure my mom is in heaven like 'Jenny stop crying' but now's the time to cry mama, it is," she said with a smile, looking up to the sky. "This is an amazing honor as we all know and I did not see this coming. I'm so honored to be here with so many that I love and I feel as though we're all a family."

Congrats, J.Hud!

TELL'EM WHY YOU MAD SON? PEBBLES SPEAKS OUT ON TLC MOVIE ON ‘WENDY WILLIAMS’

Can she just move on, how many weeks ago was this movie released?  Anyway Pebbles is breaking her silence. After her unflattering portrayal in the VH1 movie CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story, the former manager of TLC appeared on “The Wendy Williams Show” to defend herself.

“It was a complete lie,” she told Wendy during her visit to the show on Wednesday.

In the film, the former wife of L.A. Reid is accused of cheating the group of millions. She said that she has not spoken out before because of confidentiality agreements in place.

“It was laughable some of the stuff. It was just so over the top,” she said of the film.

“It’s not really about the girls. They are the messengers. You keep saying something that is not true. That’s not OK. But VH1, you are helping them promote an untruth.”

 She was less than pleased with her portrayal. “How would you feel if you were being portrayed as something you’re not? And you’re not being portrayed as who you are, a visionary.”

She referred T-Boz, Chilli, and Left Eye to a law firm to get their contracts negotiated, but claims it was not her own lawyer.

MAN OF THE YEAR JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE COVERS GQ MAGAZINE

The pop superstar, who was named “#Hashtag of the Year,” appears on one of five covers alongside Kendrick Lamar (“Rapper of the Year”), Matthew McConaughey (“Leading Man of the Year”), Will Ferrell (“Funnyman of the Year”), and the late James Gandolfini.

He released the biggest-selling album of 2013, toured with Jay Z, and reunited with *NSYNC at the VMAs, and now Justin Timberlake caps off the year by covering GQ‘s “Men of the Year” issue.

The 32-year-old singer gets suited up in designer fashions by Gucci, Bottega Veneta, and Z Zegna in the dapper shoot.

In the interview, the normally laid-back JT loses his cool when responding to the criticism surrounding his work. Plus, he discusses his pre-show ritual (sleep and meditation) and why he doesn’t consider himself cool.

The December 2013 issue of GQ hits newsstands on Nov. 19. See more photos and read highlights from JT’s cover story below.

On the criticism: “The movie [Runner Runner] didn’t do well at the box office, so I should quit? Hold on a second. If I was somebody else, you wouldn’t have said that. I have the number one album this week, and I shouldn’t have released it? Come on, man. You sound like a dickhead…. It just shocked me because, like, you’re trade magazines. None of your opinions count. And by the way, none of you can do it.”

On losing his patience: “I’m from [Memphis], and I grew up with a little bit of a chip on my shoulder, so sometimes I find it funny that I’ve been able to acquire the patience it takes to be kind to people in our business. Because sometimes I just want to fucking kill everybody.”

On his advice: “Being cool is about keeping your blood pressure steady. So no. Don’t be cool. Be passionate. Be dedicated. Be tenacious. Be uncompromising. Be pissed. Be happy. Be sad.”
