Ripa returns

    KELLY RIPA is returning to her daytime talk show, ending an absence that followed word her co-host, Michael Strahan, will join “Good Morning America.” Ripa will be back Tuesday on “Live With Kelly and Michael.”

    Tuesday’s show will be the first time Ripa and Strahan are reunited on camera since last week’s announcement that the former football star will leave in September to work full-time on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” Ripa’s unexplained absence came amid published reports that she felt blindsided and angered by Strahan’s departure.

    New album

    BEYONCE’S latest effort, “Lemonade the Visual Album,” has arrived. “Lemonade” is the megastar’s sixth studio album, following the self-titled set she released without warning in December 2013. It dropped Saturday night alongside the singer’s HBO special of the same name.

    Like albums from her fellow Tidal artist co-owners recently — Rihanna’s “ANTI” and Kanye West’s “The Life of Pablo” — Beyonce’s new project was initially released exclusively on the subscription streaming service.(SD-Agencies)
