Vanessa Bryant, Sherri Shepherd and more Celebrity News

Vanessa Bryant appearing at the NBA All-Star Game for charity was overshadowed by the sexiest remarks on social media.

The wife of the late Kobe Bryant, who also lost daughter Gianna (Gigi) on Jan 26, 2020, presented the inaugural Kobe & Gigi Bryant WNBA Advocacy Award at the NBA All-Star game. That should have been the focus; instead, Twitter decided to hone in on Vanessa’s body image rather than the reason we watched her on the screen.

Thank you, Vanessa, for your strength and diligence in continuing to honor the memory of your husband and daughter through the Mamba and Mambacita Foundation. Bryant caption the photo on Instagram.

Congratulations! Sherri Shepherd announced on Instagram her new talk show “Sherri” will debut in September.

When you think it’s a “no,” sometimes God is saying “Not Yet!”

I’ve wanted to do my own talk show since I left “The View” in 2014!

Today, God showed the world my “YES!”

Thank you everyone for making this dream of hosting my own talk show come true!

Thanks Debmar-Mercury (Ira Bernstein pictured slide 5); my new Executive Producer @JawnMurray (slide 3); and to my EP/showrunner David Perler (slide 7).

The “SHERRI” show will premiere this September. More details coming!
