BET Releases Statement: “We Hope Both Pooch And Tia Will Make Several Guest Appearances” (On ‘The Game’)…

May 17, 2012 | By:

BET’s statement:

“As a result of Pooch’s involvement on a new project, BET is in the process of reworking the casting and storyline of the show. We hope both Pooch and Tia will make several guest appearances. While we miss the incredible adventures of Melanie and Derwin on The Game, we appreciate all of their hard work, the laughs and wish them both the best on their future endeavors.”

So in their politically correct statement, they claim it’s because Pooch Hall will be focusing on his new Showtime pilot ‘Ray Donovan’, but Pooch made it very clear that his new show would not affect him being on ‘The Game’, so I will definitely assume it was all about money. Now Tia has stated that she will be focused on her new book, her show with sister Tamera on the Style Network, and a TV movie project for ABC Family, but I find it interesting that BET didn’t offer an explanation regarding her departure.

Anywho,  I guess Melanie and Derwin will pop up occasionally, but it won’t be the same!

HBIC (Head BULLY In Charge) On ‘Basketball Wives’ Won’t Be Returning Next Season…

May 17, 2012 | By:

I guess she couldn’t take the heat. She posted her reason for deactivating her Twitter, on Facebook:

Tami and her daughters were getting ‘cyber bullied’ from those who were disgusted by Tami’s behavior on the last episode of ‘BBW’. Tami bullied cast member Kesha, plain and simple, so I guess she can’t take what she dishes out. Wait, there’s more…

Terrence & Rocsi Leaving ’106 & PARK’…

May 17, 2012 | By:

…at least that’s what’s being reported.

After 7 years, the two hosts who were chosen through a nationwide talent search back in 2005, will be leaving to pursue their acting careers.

Now Terrence J has  definitely maximized his platform these past 7 years, and I can see him having a career in Hollywood. Starring in “Think Like A Man”, a guest spot on ‘The Game’, starring in “Stomp The Yard 2′, and a role in ‘Burlesque’, he definitely has been making moves and probably won’t miss a beat. But now his other half Rocsi, who currently hosts a syndicated radio show-’Rocsi on The Radio’, had a role in “Gang of Roses 2: The Next Generation”–has any of you even seen it?, and reportedly landed a role in a yet-unnamed film starring actress Lynn Whitfield, we have yet to see her make a dent in Hollywood. So, good luck to her.

BET is cleaning house big time. First Tia & Pooch (‘The Game’), now Terrence and Rocsi. Not sure what’s going on over there, but  as 1 reader tweeted… Wait, there’s more…

The Queen Of Disco Dies At The Age Of 63…

May 17, 2012 | By:

The Queen Of Disco-Donna Summer loses her battle to Cancer.

We lose yet another. Another part of my childhood gone.

In a statement from her publicist:

“Early this morning, we lost Donna Summer Sudano, a woman of many gifts, the greatest being her faith,” a family statement said. “While we grieve her passing, we are at peace celebrating her extraordinary life and her continued legacy. Words truly can’t express how much we appreciate your prayers and love for our family at this sensitive time.”

So many classics from Donna Summer that we all remember… “She Works Hard For The Money”, “Bad Girls”, ‘Last Dance”, “Hot Stuff”, “Love To Love You Baby”, just to name a few!

In a 2008 interview with CNN, she stated:

“I don’t like to be categorized because I think that I am an instrument, and if you play me, I’ll make whatever particular sound is supposed to come out for that color, and so, in the overall spectrum of things, I’m just trying to be true to my, what I feel my mission is.”

One of my favorite clips of Donna Summer is when she performs with her daughter during one of her shows back in 1983… Wait, there’s more…

Will They Replace Tia Mowry With A New Melanie?…

May 16, 2012 | By:

 

Based on sister Tamera’s tweet, maybe Melanie isn’t going anywhere, just Tia. So would you watch if they had a new Melanie?

You know in soap operas, they change out characters all the time. Wendy Williams  just joked that maybe twin sis Tamera should take the spot.

If for argument sake you HAD to choose, who would make a good Melanie?

Was Tia Mowry Fired From ‘THE GAME’?…

May 16, 2012 | By:

[Tia Mowry and her son Cree outside the Wendy Williams Show yesterday!]

Right before Tia Mowry confirmed she was not returning for the 6th season of ‘The Game’, radio personality DeDe McGuire- the co-host of nationally syndicated Doug Banks Show and the morning host of the K104 Morning Show Dallas, tweeted this:

Fired? What’s really going on over at BET? It seems odd that they would fire their main character(s) on their most successful show.

Will this be one of those BET unsolved mysteries, like Free & AJ leaving 106 & Park?

And based on the masses’ reaction to Tia & Pooch not returning to ‘The Game’, ‘The Game’s 6th season will probably be its last. Wait, there’s more…
