PREMIERE PARTY: Meet The Cast of ‘R&B Divas: LA’ [PHOTOS] + Watch Episode #1 [FULL VIDEO]

Jul, 10 2013 | Written by ATLien

The stars of ‘R&B Divas LA’ attended the Hollywood premiere event for the new TVOne reality show this past Monday (July 9, 2013).

Lil? Mo, Dawn Robinson, Michel?le, Chante Moore, Claudette Ortiz and Kelly Price all attended the event, held at The London in West Hollywood, California.

?R&B Divas LA? is a spin-off of ?R&B Divas,? which was originally set in Atlanta and featuring Faith Evans, KeKe Wyatt, Nickey Gilbert, Monifah Carter and Syleena Johnson.

While I couldn’t force myself to watch the Atlanta version of the show, the L.A. version has definitely caught my attention.

I honestly think it’s because the L.A. cast features a selection of ALL of my favorites and each and every L.A. cast member has music that I remember (but that’s just me).

Meet the cast of R&B Diva’s L.A. (video) + photos from their hollywood premiere party below… Continue Reading…

Do You Miss Derwin & Melanie On “The Game”? Watch Season 6, Ep 12 [FULL VIDEO]

Jul, 10 2013 | Written by ATLien

BET’s popular scripted series, ‘The Game’ returned a few weeks ago after taking a mid season break and the once popular coupling of Derwin and Melanie (once played by Pooch Hall and Tia Mowry), ?now seems like a distant memory.

[FLASHBACK:?The Game’s 6th Season Cast Changes – Watch Episodes 1 & 2 (FULL VIDEO)]

The new cast members have blended quite nicely (in my opinion), there are still many of you out there who think that the relationship between Bryce “The Blueprint” Westbrook aka “Blue”?(Jay Ellis) and?Kiera Whittaker (Lauren London) isn’t moving along as expected.

While the “newbies” chug along, football veteran Jason Pitts (Coby Bell) and his wife Chardonnay (Brandy), bump heads when he feels she isn?t taking care of her duties at home.

Chardonnay also disobeys Jason?s direct orders to cut ties with Tasha Mack (Wendy Raquel Robinson), whose fianc? Pookie (Rockmond Dunbar) dumped her after he caught her cheating on him with basketball icon Rick Fox (who plays himself).

Jul, 9 2013 | Written by ATLien

Keyshia Cole?and her adorably baller boo Daniel “Booby” Gibson were spotted hugged up on many occasions during the 2013 Essence Music Festival in New Orleans last weekend (July 4-7, 2013).

The 3 day music event attracted over 40,000 concertgoers each night and Keyshia, who was a featured performer on the mainstage of the Mercedes Benz Superdome on Day 2, partied each night alongside the likes of?Deborah Cox, Tamia and Kelly Price.

Beyonce hit the stage as the headliner on Day 3 and a few of you messy naysayers anxiously anticipated Keyshia’s every move. ?Yeah… we all know how she feels about Bey’s “Bow Down” single:

But as I said then, many of you are totally wrong in your assessment of the situation and quite a few of you were shocked to hear that Keyshia and her hubby were front row center cheering Queen B on with the rest of the concert goers:

Kinda put a damper on all those Beyonce Stan’s day… huh? 😆
