With the loss of Chappelle Show, Comedy Central tries to bring comedy back with Chocolate News starring David Alan Grier (google him, baby!) on October 15th @ 10:30 pm.
Making the Band, Work For Diddy, and now StarMaker…there’s just no stopping this dude! Diddy has teamed up once again with MTV for a new music contest reality show called Diddy Presents: Starmaker. Diddy is looking for singers/vocalist from around the country to compete each week in front of a live audience and a panel of professional music executive judges. Peep the clip above…
While I was busy flip flopping between “Gossip Girls” and season premiere of “Heroes” , I missed last night’s season premiere of “Dancing With The Stars”. Check out Toni Braxton killing the “cha-cha” and Kim Kardashian stiff as board on the “Fox Trot”.
Great to see Toni is great spirits in light of all the family drama she’s been going through.
Kim really needs to loosen up and work that moneymaker.
According to homies at ATF, big poppa Knowles is “aggressively shopping” around a reality show based on Solange Knowles…and it turns out E! Network is highly interested. A snitch recently told the National Enquirer,
“We shouldn’t expect any cameo appearances from Beyonce, celebrity insiders say Solange is “done taking a back seat to her big sis and is not going to stand for it any longer.”
“There is a lot of tension between the two sisters right now and their relationship is suffering,”
Tension between Beyonce & Solange?! Really?! I find that hard to believe…Knowles are as tight as a virgin. Solange’s no mess having attitude would be great for tv. I’d tune in, would you?!
Wendy is a walking testament that true talent will prevail. From radio, to books, and now TV…she really is the Queen of All Media! After only a couple of trial weeks, The Wendy Williams daily TV Talk program is officially headed for broader TV distribution. THAT’S MAJOR!!!
According to Fox, the program posted rating increases in key demos during the May sweeps in both New York and Los Angeles. “Everything about the Wendy preview clicked for our stations, from conception to promotion to hitting the air. It completely broke the mold. The show is now a proven winner, and we can’t wait to see it debut across the country next year,” said Frank Cicha, senior vp of programming for Fox Television Stations.
C’mon people say it with me…HI HATERS! Go ‘head Wendy…she’s really killing it!
Percy Miller aka Master P is expanding his mogulness by launching a family friendly African American-targeted cable net in 2009 called Better Black Television or BBTV.
Better Black Television, set to begin in 2009, will provide “positive content for a black and brown culture,” according to a company statement, and unofficially compete with Black Entertainment Television for viewers.
But don’t get it twisted Miller assures he still has “a great relationship with BET and MTV” and that he and his son, Lil’ Romeo, “will continue to do work with them and support their networks.” He also gave props to BET founder Bob Johnson.
“I remember him telling me back in the day that if you wanted to know real estate, you’ve got to hang out with real estate investors. If you wanted to know sports, you’ve got to hang out with athletes. I wanted to know TV, so I hung out with Bob and learned the TV game from one of the best in the business.”
As for BBTV, Miller says:
“We believe TV content can be positive and responsible and still have good ratings.”
Percy will serve as chairman/CEO of the net and advisory board members include actors Denzel Washington and Will Smith.
With TV One doing its thing and BBTV ready to launch, will BET be around much longer? I’m saying…isn’t enough…enough?!
Why didn’t anyone tell me Carmelo Anthony had a reality show coming out?! The show I believe is entitled “Carmelo’s Way.” Wonder if LaLa will make any appearances? Anywhoo, the show will premiere on the BET Networks channel BET J. On Carmelo’s website it explains,
After a 2007 NBA Season filled with career highs, unfortunate lows, and constant change, Carmelo prepares for life in 2008 and beyond, with a new approach to the game and a new perspective on life. He begins to realize people know Melo, but do they really know Melo?
What do you think of Carmelo as a reality star? In the words of Nigel D, is this poppin’ or floppin’?
For all you non-ATLIENS and you missed Monica’s new reality show “The Single: Monica” on Peactree TV, check out the full episode over at DimeWars. From what I say and heard…Keyshia Cole might have to take the backseat on this one, cause Monica is showing some real raw emotion for the tube…and real recognize real!
Towards the end of the show, Monica finally chose her lead single “Still Standing” featuring Ludacris. Though the song struck a chord with Mo’ causing her to shed some tears and emotion, J Records execs didn’t co-sign it. Take a listen to the joint below and speak your piece…
