The Jamie Foxx Show

I thought that it was supposed to be the BET awards with a tribute to Michael Jackson? Damn, I wasted 4 hours for that crap? The whole show seemed like a platform for Jamie to promote his upcoming tour and put his vocals on display. It was so painful to the point of being disrespectful.

Wow, was that the best BET could do for a brilliant icon like Michael Jackson? Did we really need to see Jamie perform 53 times? Are you telling me BET couldn't have had Mariah come through and sing her classic rendition of 'I'll Be There?'

BET fails again. Maybe MTV will pull through in August for the VMA's. The only bright spot of tonight was Janet. She looked angelic and I definitely teared up when she spoke.

BET To Resurrect 'The Game?'

Wow, it looks as if BET might actually add to black culture for once with this move. BET is in talks to bring 'The Game' over for a new season. I really hope that this works out.

Back in April, BET CEO Debra Lee said the network was in talks to acquire the show, but that it was really coming down to a matter of the budget. Now, an inside source at BET told BV Buzz that new co-president Loretha Jones is working hard to finalize a budget that would allow them to afford the show. Adding “The Game” to their roster wouldn’t be a bad move for BET as re-runs of the sitcom actually score higher ratings than most the network’s original shows. At news that The CW had cancelled the show, many fans looked to BET to pick it up, too. Nothing has been set in stone over at BET, which hasn’t offered any official statement on the possible fate of the show just yet. source

Baby Mamas United

My sisters in Christ, Toya Carter and Tiny Cottle, somehow managed to score their own reality show together...On BET. I know, surprise right. As if BET isn't responsible for some of the most tomfoolery we see on teevee today. I might as well stick another pin in my Robert Johnson voodoo doll.

Set in the heart of Atlanta, against the backdrop of the multi-billion dollar music industry, TINY AND TOYA follows the journey of two best friends overcoming their struggles to discover who they really are, from the inside out. They are tired of being defined by others (in the shadow of their high-profile men) and are determined to rely on each other and the strength from within to find their purpose and build a brighter future for themselves and their families. source
