Apparently someone’s got a BIG head since her Baller Boo fiance Michael Strahan landed his new J.O.B. with Kelly Ripa. According to TMZ… Nicole Murphy has gotten way too big for her britches now that her fiance Michael Strahan snagged the morning show with Kelly Ripa … at least according to her former reps who say she’s acting like a monster, publicly trashing and destroying their business in the process. The ZLP Group has hired a lawyer, who fired off a nasty, threatening letter to Nicole. In the letter — obtained by TMZ — the lawyer claims Nicole has “started rumors, misstatements and misrepresentations” which have defamed the PR group. ZLP’s lawyer, Donald Karpel, says Murphy’s smack talking has destroyed his client’s relationship with QVC, several NYC fashion week designers and a TV show. Karpel promises in the letter he will file a lawsuit against her for breach of contract (allegedly firing the firm without cause) and defamation — based on her “poor conduct.” We called Murphy — so far, no comment. Do you think she’s really been running her mouth?? Images via WENN
The woman’s unstoppable. Fresh off of her historic wins during the 2012 Summer Olympics , Serena beat out Sara Errani today…placing the multi gold medalist in the finals at the U.S. Open. In interviews on the court during and after the match, Serena let us know that she was trying her best to stay calm and collected the whole time. “Well, I did grunt once today, and I thought, `God, I hope I don’t lose the point,” Williams said. “Like I said, my goal this year was not to get in any fights.””It’s really awesome,” Williams said in an on-court interview. “That is what I wanted, and what I dreamed of, all year.” Her opponent Sara Errani wasn’t too happy with her failed match: The latest woman to absorb a lopsided loss against Serena Williams thinks the 14-time Grand Slam champion should take on a new challenge. “Given that men are always quick to say women are a lot worse … I’d love to see her play in a (lower-level) men’s tournament and see how they deal with her. It’s easy to talk. On the court, it would be different,” the 10th-seeded Sara Errani said. “I’ve practiced with a lot of guys ranked 400th or 500th,” Errani explained. “I’ve never played with a man who hits as hard as she does.” “She’s not unbeatable. No one is unbeatable. Anyone can lose. But if she plays well, she’s the best in the world,” Errani said. “It’s stressful against her. She puts a lot of pressure on you. You need to play quickly. You don’t have even a tiny chance to control a point the way you would want to.” Big ups to Serena and the dope year of wins she’s had. Source Images via WENN
Is it just us or did these VMA stars have some brittle lookin’ hair? The VMAs are usually filled with jacked up style…but last night’s show was full of bleached hair that even made our scalps itch a little bit. Nicki took things to a whole other level.
Her VMA performance may not have been all that we were expecting but her Reebok ad’s got folks talking. The commercial aired during last night’s show. Check out some of the pieces from her own signature collection in the vid directed by Samuel Bayer and tell us what you think about it. Big ups to the women featured in the vid; especially ballet dancer Dionne Dadrinelle Figgins! Images via Youtube/Twitter

Be afraid Shaunie … Be very afraid! Looks like Gloria Govan got the last laugh by leaving the “Basketball Wives” Miami franchise behind for Hollyweird. The reality starlet has been quietly doing her thing on the acting scene and her hard work is paying off! “Over the weekend, it was reported that Gloria Govan has been preparing for her new role in the upcoming short film series “Clean Ops.” Expected to premiere Winter 2012, “Clean Ops” is a short film series about an agency that trains inner city kids in the performing arts and in the art of being an assassin. In the vein of “X-Men” meets “The Professional,” the first installment, titled “The Chronicles of V,” stars Gloria Govan as a trained ballerina by day and an assassin by night who gets her assignments from a mysterious figure only known as Mr. Drop. The series is being developed into a comic book franchise, feature film, mobile game and television series. This sounds great, we’re looking forward to seeing the final product. Hit the flip for some behind the scenes footage of her training (peep fellow “BBWLA” co-stars Brooke Bailey and Laura Govan working out alongside her).
