ATLANTA TV BATTLE!! Bounce TV Files Suit Against BobbCat Films…

Jun, 20 2014 | Written by ATLien

There’s a lil local drama going on around Atlanta now that Bounce TV has filed a lawsuit against Bobbcat films.

For those of you out of the loop, Bounce is run by Ryan Glover (Tameka Raymond’s first husband) and Bobbcat Films, which is owned by Roger Bobb, formerly Tyler Perry’s right hand man at TP Studios.

The issue stems from BounceTV’s allegations that Bobbcat Films reneged on a show featuring David and Tamala Mann (of Meet The Browns), deciding instead to take his project over to BET instead.

Now the two local ‘celebs’ are in a legal battle over breach of contract.

Details about this local legal battle below… Continue Reading…

The Rickey Smiley Show “Official” Cast List + Kenya Moore Guest Stars… [PHOTOS]

Jun, 22 2012 | Written by ATLien

Just a few weeks ago I found out that Ray-J was in town filming with radio personality Rickey Smiley for Smiley’s new TVOne talk show.

At that time, there was no word of when the show would air or even any specific details about what type of show it would be.

Smiley has recently revealed the official cast list and I’ve also found out that LisaRaye (Single Ladies) and Kenya Moore, who happens to be Atlanta’s newest “housewife”, will be making guest appearances on the show!

Kenya shared a photo of she and Ray-J on the set recently.

Ray-J is said to be featured in a recurring role on the show as Smiley’s best friend… kinda similar to “Cole” from Martin.

Popular radio personality Rickey Smiley is coming to a television near you soon with the help of Roger Bobb‘s (BobbCat Productions) and TVOne.

Smiley revealed on his morning show site a few weeks ago, that he had a tv show in development:

You listen to him weekdays on the radio, but you will be able to see Rickey Smiley starring on TV One in his very own sitcom!

“The Rickey Smiley Show” is currently in development, and will focus on a character loosely based on Rickey Smiley who is a radio personality living in Atlanta raising four adopted children.

Up until now, I haven’t really heard much about the new show, but my sources revealed today that Ray-J is currently in Atlanta and was spotted taping alongside Smiley on the set of the new show.

David & Tamela Mann (aka Mr. Brown & Cora) Tape New Cooking Show… [PHOTOS]

Sep, 19 2011 | Written by ATLien

Acting couple David an Tamela Mann were spotted all boo’d up during V-103′s For Sisters Only event last weekend.

The pair are Tyler Perry’s “go-to” couple for just about every movie, play, and television show Perry has produced, and it’s always a pleasure to see the cute couple out and about around Atlanta, where many of TP’s productions are filmed.

David, known for his role as “Deacon Leroy Brown” and Tamela, his wife of 23 years, who plays Mr. Brown’s daughter Cora, have worked together professionally for over two decades and they love being able to work side-by-side.

In keeping with that trend, the couple has partnered with Roger Bobb, former Executive Vice President of Tyler Perry Studios who abruptly left his position with TP to start his own production company (BobbCat Films), for a new cooking show to be filmed in the Bahamas.

Details about the Mann’s new project + more photos below: Continue Reading…
