Willow Smith was spotted out at lunch with her friends this weekend.  Check the pics of the now 13-year-old inside, plus "The Exes" star Donald Faison's new mini me....

 

Seems like she's been a teenager or grown woman for years now.  But Willow Smith just turned 13 on Halloween.  And she was spotted having a post-birthday lunch with her friends at Urth Caffe in West Hollywood this weekend.

She was also spotted rocking some dark vampy lipstick in the middle of lunch.

Did she pull what we all pulled as teenagers -- slapping on makeup AFTER leaving the house?  Jada & Will may not play that daily makeup stuff...

 

And speaking of YBF kids:

Former "Scrubs" and "Clueless" star Donald Faison has himself a mini-me!  His wife Cacee Cobb recently posted an adorable pic of their 2 month old Rocco.  And if he isn't a spitting image of daddy. 

Too cute!

While hiding her belly in every costume of the night, Kerry played host of "SNL" Saturday night...and cracked up 30 Rock.  The "Scandal" star brought her talents to the sketch comedy show for a few hilarious skits, to show off her Ugandan accent, to drop it like it's in another urban role a la Save the Last Dance, pay a militant Spelman professor and more.

Check out our fave clips below in case you missed 'em:

Idris Elba was just rushed to the hospital after suffering an asthma attack!  And he's now missing his press events for Mandela in South Africa.  Deets inside....

Actor & Esquire UK's October cover guy Idris Elba was jetting from London to Johannesburg to make it to today's press conference for his movie Mandela when he suffered an asthma attack.

Sky News reports it happened before the plane left the UK, so he was promptly removed and taken to the hospital.

The producers say they hope he will make it to South Africa in time for tomorrow night's (Sunday's) big premiere.

As for today's press conference, his co-star Naomie Harris (who plays Winnie Mandela) is holding it down without him.  She spoke about the political & social unrest the country suffered saying:

"I always find that so surprising given apartheid happened here. I always wonder who were these people that kept apartheid alive?"

"I do feel in 20 years the country has come an extraordinarily long way but change is slow and it takes generations."

Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom releases in the US November 29th and the UK on January 3, 2014.

Get well soon Idris!

GOSPEL DRAMA: The "Preachers Of L.A." PREACH OFF On "Arsenio" + Leandria Johnson Backtracks On BLASTING Mathew Knowles

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 09:55 AM PDT

Arsenio Hall played host to the "Preachers of L.A." on his show recently.  And if you thought they were the equivalents of fast talking pimps before...check out their Preach Off and them defending their "lifestyles" inside....

With all the criticisms of that "Preachers of L.A." show, of course the cast has been spending most of their promo time defending themselves and convincing the world that they're legit here for The Lord.

While we think they need more people, maybe their "Preach Off" will sell you.  Check out what Arsenio had the men do below.  Ha!

And also how they defended themselves against the critiques of their lavish lifestyles (that they believe The Lord simply blessed them with, like it didn't come from the tithes and offerings) and suspected fraudulence.

 

In other church drama, yesterday, Mathew Knowles' artist Leandria Johnson took to Twitter to POP OFF about Mr. Knowles.  Leandria, who also is the pastor at I.P.C. Ministries in Atlanta, is a past winner of "Sunday Best" on BET.  She signed to Mat's Music World label afterwards and ish went downhill fast.

Leandria spoke last year about getting out of her deal at the label.  And yesterday, some Twitter messages popped up on her account.  On said:

I HAVE NOT SAID NOTHING FOR 2YRS NOW!!! MATTHEW KNOWLES IS A CROOK!!! AND I WANT OUT!!!! IM TIRED OF BEING BULLIED!!!!"

And while we sat twiddling our thumbs waiting on THAT tea to drop, we reached out to her manager for a statement.  Her manager responded that a former employee tweeted the message and it wasn't Leandria.  Really?  Because the messages are still on her Twitter, and so are messages in support of her that she RT'd of her followers.

Still, here's her "statement" from her legal team:

So....did someone have a change of heart due to a legal threat?  Or was it really a disgruntled associate?
