Go...Deborah Cox !

Gospel means "good news," reminds exercise guru Donna Richardson Joyner. "And I'm a messenger of good health," she says. That's why Joyner will be leading an aerobic "party with a purpose" at Reid Temple AME Church (11400 Glenn Dale Blvd., Glenn Dale, Md.) this Saturday when BET's Women's Health Symposium tour comes to town.

Despite the name, the all-day (8 a.m.-4 p.m.) event is aimed at the entire family. The schedule includes a men's basketball challenge, cooking demos, free screenings and fun stuff, including a performance by R&B star Deborah Cox. "We remove all the excuses," says Cox, who signed on because she recognizes how challenging it can be to stick with a healthy routine. In keeping with the church setting, Cox will be belting gospel tunes, which she says always get her motivated to move.

Earning a spot on the national tour isn't an honor as much as it's a wake-up call, says Debra Kilpatrick, program director for BET's Women's Health Symposium. Washington was chosen because of its huge health disparities — African-American communities in the region are disproportionately facing high rates of obesity, diabetes and other health risks. The mission of the tour is to "break down barriers and entertain [the public], but ultimately educate them," Kilpatrick says. And just as important is to empower them, by helping them realize that change is possible. "We promote activity, not just the gym," she adds.

Looking good Deborah Cox. Much Luv!

"Eat, Pray, Love." TOMORROW!

Liz Gilbert (Julia Roberts) is a modern woman on a quest to marvel at and travel the world while rediscovering and reconnecting with her true inner self in Eat Pray Love. At a crossroads after a divorce, Gilbert takes a year-long sabbatical from her job and steps uncharacteristically out of her comfort zone, risking everything to change her life. In her wondrous and exotic travels, she experiences the simple pleasure of nourishment by eating in Italy; the power of prayer in India, and, finally and unexpectedly, the inner peace and balance of love in Bali. Based on an inspiring true story, Eat Pray Love proves that there really is more than one way to let yourself go and see the world.

I'm so looking forward to seeing this! I love Julian Roberts my fav!

IT’S A GAGA WORLD: DIVA DOMINATES VMA NOMS

MTV has announced the nominees for the 2010 Video Music Awards, and Lady Gaga leads the pack with 13 nods, including Best Pop Video, Best Female Video and Best Dance Music Video for her global smash “Bad Romance.” That gives Gaga the most nominations ever in a single VMAs. She’s the first female nominated for two different videos in the Video of the Year category, with “Bad Romance” and “Telephone” featuring Beyoncé.

Said Gaga on getting the news: "I'm so honored for all the little monsters and self-professed freaks of the universe, to have more VMA nominations in a single year than any artist in MTV history. Ironically, I'm even more proud it’s an unlucky number; 13,” said Lady Gaga. “A long time ago, the world told me and my little monsters we would never be heard, together we changed the rules. God put me on Earth for three reasons: To make loud music, gay videos and cause a damn raucous. Thank you, MTV!"

Eminem is this year’s most nominated male artist, racking up eight nominations, including Best Male Video and Video of the Year for “Not Afraid.”

Em’s response was a bit edgier than his labelmate’s: "Apparently, MTV doesn't care that I have two massive stadium shows on the other side of the country the day after the VMAs. Fuck me, right?!?! I mean, I'll be there, but don't expect me to be nice about it."

Among established stars, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, P!nk, Thirty Seconds to Mars (another Video of the Year nominee), Katy Perry and Usher are also in the mix.

Rookie Ke$ha is up for three Moonmen for “Tik Tok,” while emerging rapper B.o.B received a Video of the Year nom for "Airplanes" and is up against Drake in the Best Hip-Hop competition, with five nods in all.

Other first-timers include Justin Bieber for Best New Artist for “Baby,” Florence + the Machine with five noms for “Dog Days Are Over,” including one for Video of the Year, and Mumford & Sons with a Best Cinematography nod for “Little Lion Man.”

The VMAs will air live from L.A.’s Nokia Theatre on Sunday, Sept. 12. MTV will announce additional performers, presenters and host as the big night approaches.

Go, GAGA!
