Gal pals tell the honest truth!

Zoe Saldana‘s pal Gabrielle Union says the newly single actress is doing “great” after her recent split from Bradley Cooper.

“She’s awesome,” Union, 40, told People on the red carpet before hosting the 2013 BET Honors (check it out on February 11th). Union rang in the New Year with her BFF Zoe and told the media that, “Our girl time is usually spent singing, drinking and dancing, and that’s exactly what we did [on New Year's Eve].”

In other news, Union’s nickname for Saldana is “Cha-Cha.” We hope she Cha-Cha-Chas into a new relationship, because Saldana is ADORABLE.  Meanwhile, Union is still with boyfriend Dwyane Wade, and thinking of taking their relationship to the next level.

“I cannot do a thing about Charles Barkley talking bad about you. He is just jealous that you have two rings and he and I have none,” she said onstage after answering her cellphone, which rang to the tune of Beyoncé‘s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It).”

Anyhow, glad Saldana has a friend in Union!
