THE GAME is BACK!!

If anyone knows this FABULOUS BROWN GIRL, then you know I love love love the television show 'THE GAME"! And I know many of you all love it too! In May 2009, the CW took the show off of its lineup because "it no longer fit in" ... Yea,yea yea.. we are not dumb, we know EXACTLY what that meant! So many loyal fans petitioned long and hard to bring it back because we felt like it was the ONLY decent black show on the air. Fans wanted to bring it back on a network that appreciates it target audience.. so naturally the top contender was BET.

Finally after a year long battle of negotiations, BET Network finally announced that are bringing the beloved show back with original episodes appearing during the final quarter of 2010! Here is the official press release distributed by BET.

Now me and BET have a love/hate relationship.. and even though this network wasn't my first choice for bringing my fav show back on the scene (HBO or Showtime would have been perfect in my opinion). But I am proud that they are finally listening to what their viewers want to see.. Hopefully they [BET] don't mess it up! If they do, I am officially going to be done with them because they are already hanging on by a thread..

Countdown to the new THE GAME episodes start..... NOW! Make sure you continue to look out for updates

Make Sure You Are "Keeping Up With the Joneses"

As a Houston chick, I must admit that I "jones" for all great and positive things that come out of my hometown. One of those things is Jones Magazine.

Jones Magazine, founded by the FABULOUS Tracy Ferguson, is headquartered in Houston, Texas and is the first of its kind to be the "IT" guide of the biggest city in the state.

Jones Magazine is a lifestyle magazine and brand that focuses on upscale African Americans detailing the very best fashion, hair, makeup, and parties Houston has to offer.

Keeping Up with the Joneses will focus on Tracy being a single mother of two comical teenagers all while launching her other "baby" Jones Magazine.

The show premieres tonight, April 8th on Centric at 8 pm EST, which is under the BET umbrella.

Fabulous Brown Girls, we know you will be watching with us, so let us know what you think!

And special shoutout to our friend and FAB BROWN GIRL Ashley Minor, who will be featured in the show working for Tracy Ferguson and doing big things!

Make sure you follow @jonesmag and @ashley_minor to "keep up with the joneses" in every way possible!

BET Honors: This is What Extraordinary Looks Like

So last night BET outdid themselves with this year's broadcast of their 3rd annual BET Honors which took place in Washington, DC. The BET Honors recognized the achievements of fellow Howard Bison, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Queen Latifah, Dr. Keith Black, Dr. Ruth J. Simmons, and Whitney Houston.



Hosted by FBG Gabriel Union, several artists performed to honor them musically with uplifting songs to show them their love and appreciation.

My favorite tributes were Diddy's with Mary J Blige showing love to her "big brother" with a lot of hits they made together; as well as, Kim Burrell and Jennifer Hudson's tribute to Whitney Houston. Those ladies sang their hearts out to Whitney who was not afraid to "show" her gratitude for them while they performed. I didn't mind Whitney's antics because she made it clear, its better to be judged by your triumphs than by your flaws... Only if everyone thought like that!



Check out the tear jerking tribute Kim Burrell performed with her rendition of "I Believe in You and Me". This rendition encompasses how Fabulous Brown Girls everywhere should feel about one another. Thank You Kim and Whitney for that moment and thank you BET. We needed that.

Former Exec puts BET on Blast

Not like we already didn't know this... but it is sad that our alleged notions have been confirmed by former BET executive, Andreas Hale, about the ongoings and lack of structure taking place at Black Entertainment Television. Hale resigned yesterday from BET due to lack of organization and being consistently "shot down" for trying to bring about a positive change to the network.


In my eyes, the last good thing BET did was cancel there trashy video show "UnCut"... (eye roll)
