Wendy Williams was rushed to a New York hospital Monday after being found drunk, following news her husband Kevin Hunter's mistress Sharina Hudson had given birth.
While it was never confirmed Hudson's child is fathered by Hunter, it is widely believed he's the parent. And while Wendy has been open about her struggle with addiction -- announcing to her audience less than two weeks ago that she was living in a sober house -- she hasn't been so forthcoming about her relationship with her husband.
Wendy was back on set Tuesday to tape her show, however, showing that she's trying to get past this. A source tells the New York Post's Page Six, "Wendy is not in a good way, everyone is so concerned for her. The sad thing is that she’s been working so hard to stay sober and she’s been so honest in her struggles with all her fans, and this just tipped her over the edge. But the fact she still came to the set just shows how strong she’s trying to be."
When Diana Ross turns 75, Hollywood's A-list come out to celebrate! And that includes Beyonce -- from one diva to another, the Queen B serenaded Ms. Ross with the traditional "Happy Birthday" song at Ross' blowout bash in West Hollywood Tuesday night.
In attendance were P. Diddy, Ashlee Simpson and Evan Ross, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robin Thicke, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian and mom Kris Jenner and many, many more. Khloe stunned in a floor-length gold lame dress with her hair curly and teased big in a tribute to Diana. Kourt wore a silver sequin suit with black bra and she posted a glittering video to her Instagram story to document the look.

Justin Bieber fans can be CRAZY! There's a fringe element of Beliebers -- which is actually not an insignificant number of people -- who are bent on sending Hailey Baldwin horrible messages about how she broke up Justin and Selena Gomez. Their vile language so upsets Justin that he finally addressed it and in doing so, he says this is the last time he'll EVER address it -- specifically an Instagram account DEDICATED to dissing his relationship with Baldwin. Bieber posted a screen shot of a horrible message from the account and replied with this:
"Why would I dedicate my whole life to someone in marriage to get back at my ex ... I absolutely loved and love Selena she will always hold a place in my heart,†the Canada-born singer wrote with a nod to his on-again, off-again ex. “But I am head over heals (sic) in love with my wife and she is absolutely the BEST THING that has ever happened to me period."
He went on: "This is a reply to all immature sick people who send Hailey hurtful messages like ‘ he always goes back to Selena’ or ‘Selena is better for him’ … Hailey is my Bride period if you don’t like that or support that that means you don’t support me. If you were raised right your parents would have said if you don’t have something nice to say don’t say anything."
We hope this is really the last time he'll have to address it. Grow up and be positive, people!

Chicago police are dropping ALL charges against Empire actor Jussie Smollett, who was required to make an emergency appearance in court this morning. The actor, accused of 16 counts of disordering conduct for falsifying a police report claiming two men committed a race crime against him -- hurling racial and homophobic slurs at him and even tying a noose around his neck in Chicago late one night in January -- has had his record wiped clean.
His attorneys released this statement today: "Today, all criminal charges against Jussie Smollett were dropped and his record has been wiped clean of the filing of this tragic complaint against him. Jussie was attacked by two people he was unable to identify on January 29th. He was a victim who was vilified and made to appear as a perpetrator as a result of false and inappropriate remarks made to the public causing an inappropriate rush to judgement.
Jussie and many others were hurt by these unfair and unwarranted actions. This entire situation is a reminder that there should never be an attempt to prove a case in the court of public opinion. That is wrong. It is a reminder that a victim, in this case Jussie, deserves dignity and respect. Dismissal of charges against the victim in this case was the only just result.
Jussie is relieved to have this situation behind him and is very much looking forward to getting back to focusing on his family, friends and career."
The actor was accused of having staged the entire attack -- even hiring two brothers to commit the crime against him. We're awaiting more information about why the charges have been dropped. Stay tuned!

Hailey Baldwin is showing off her sexy abs now, but if hubby Justin Bieber has his way, he'll be putting a baby in that belly sometime soon!
Hails went out for some coffee in tight vintage jeans, shearling slides, and an off-the-shoulder orange cropped cardigan and when she lifted her arm to adjust her sexy-librarian glasses, BAM! -- we got a peek at her amazing abs.
The sexy supermodel might not have that slim, trim stomach for long, though -- seems like she and Justin and looking to start a family soon and we bet she'll be pregnant before the end of the year! Wouldn't that be CRAZY?! A little Bieber baby?!
Justin posted on Instagram today about his recent struggles. He explained why he won't tour any time soon, though he WILL come out with some new music -- but he admits he wants to get himself mentally in order before becoming a dad. A DAD! Bieber babies on the brain!!! Here's what he wrote: "So I read a lot of messages saying you want an album .. I’ve toured my whole teenage life, and early 20s, I realized and as you guys probably saw I was unhappy last tour and I don’t deserve that and you don’t deserve that, you pay money to come and have a lively energetic fun light concert and I was unable emotionally to give you that near the end of the tour. I have been looking, seeking, trial and error as most of us do, I am now very focused on repairing some of the deep rooted issues that I have as most of us have, so that I don’t fall apart, so that I can sustain my marriage and be the father I want to be. Music is very important to me but Nothing comes before my family and my health. I will come with a kick ass album ASAP, my swag is undeniable and my drive is indescribable his love is supernatural his grace is that reliable.... the top is where I reside period whether I make music or not the king said so. 👑 but I will come with a vengeance believe that.. (grammar and punctuation will be terrible pretend it’s a text where u just don’t care)."
We love his honesty, his humility, and his work to get healthy. Mental and emotional health isn't a give -- we have to work at it, and Justin seems to know this. Between his faith and his clean living and his love for Hailey, we're pretty sure he's gonna come out on top!

Oh helllllll no! Ben Affleck's on-again girlfriend Lindsay Shookus is NOT gonna sleep on the leftover bed linens of Miss Shauna Sexton, Ben's Playboy model ex-girlfriend -- his pre-rehab fling.
Lindsay recently flew in from New York to visit her man, with whom she recently reunited, and she's staying in his $16M Pacific Palisades home -- which you'd THINK would be outfitted with 800-thread count Frette, but no. Apparently Lindsay saw fit to replace whatever Ben currently has with Bed, Bath & Beyond's finest Ugg pillows and sheets (we love that Shookus showed her digital BB&B rewards bar code on her phone in order to get a discount!). The only reason we can think of is that she wanted to freshen up Ben's bed after all of his pre-rehab antics. We don't blame her!
The couple started with dinner out at Kreation Organic in Santa Monica, before Ben lit a cig, smoked it like a boss, and sped away in his gangsta Caddy. Smokin'!
