Sidebar: I never realize how cute DeRay is but you know a dude’s stock always increases when he’s next to a stunna!

Ladies, it’s springtime and that means we’re steps away from bathing suit season.

There comes a time (I’m no expert but I’m thinking about 20 years is long enough) where one MUST let go of the past in order embrace a full rich future. My bestie in my head Aisha Tyler on that show that’s not “The View”…’The Talk” made that same suggestion, to one Janet Hubert, who has been on a recent revived rant in the press about her ancient, firing.
And as the cray ”festive minded” are wont to do, Janet took to the Book of Face to air her grievances. Starting with the insightful and profound, greeting: ‘Weave Woman’.
Look, Aunt Viv (may I call you Aunt Viv? Of course I may.), let that ish go!! Nobody even watched those damn episodes with that woman who replaced you (pleasant as she seemed). WHO CARES?! IT WAS TV. No one was curing a disease. No one was saving a life. And really…did you DIEEE??? It was a JOB. People lose them joints erryday. People who have worked for the same firm for decades and are close to retirement age. You don’t see them writing open letters to Will Ass Smith!
And seriously, what is your deal with attach a hair? Did your man leave you for the Remy salesman, or somethin’?
Janet is starting to scare me, I want her put on some kind of a ‘WATCH’, take a way her belts, shoelaces and swathes of Kente cloth! LET’S SAY A PRAYER PEOPLE!
NeNe Leakes and Regina King are out of jobs (well, NeNe does have that Bravo check)! It’s upfront season (where networks roll out the new shows) and anything not pulling in the ratings is bound to get chopped, including two shows supplying paychecks for NeNe and Regina. These network execs ain’t playing.
Among the shows not coming back:
NBC’s Smash, The New Normal, Go On and Rock Center with Brian Williams
CBS pulled the plug on the Beverly Hills Cop reboot before a single frame made the light of day; CBS also canceled CSI: NY, Vegas, Rules of Engagement and Golden Boy
ABC’s Malibu Country, Body of Proof, Happy Endings, Family Tools, How to Live With Your Parents for the Rest of Your Life and Red Widow
TNT yanked Monday Mornings and Southland
Rest easy if you’re a fan of Community, Revenge, Suburgatory, Once Upon a Time, Grey’s Anatomy, Castle, Nashville and Scandal. Those shows have been renewed for another season.
Despite being pink slipped, NeNe and Regina took to Twitter to express their gratitude.
I worked wit some of the most amazing people ever on The New Normal! I love u all! We will meet again 😥
Everyone’s favorite short-armed singer/rapper/personality, Cee Lo Green, is coming soon to TBS. The network has ordered a reality show centered on Green’s career of producing, recording, performing and bringing the Goodie Mob back on the scene. I think it’s great he’s giving his homies some time to shine, BTW. The Cee Lo Life will premiere in 2014. So far, it’s just slated to run 6 episodes. Will you watch?
Deception fans will have to find another fix! Actress Meagan Good announced on her Instagram account that NBC has decided not to renew the show for a second season.
Maybe BET or TV One will pick it up?
We’re getting our first look at the all-star cast of the upcoming Lee Daniels film, “The Butler,” starring Forest Whitaker, Oprah Winfrey, Lenny Kravitz, Terrence Howard, Cuba Gooding Jr. and a literally, ALL of Hollywood. The film is based on a 2008 Washington Post profile of Eugene Allen, a black man who served as a White House butler for decades. Forest Whittaker plays the Allen role in the film and Oprah plays his wife. Take a look…
Is it possible to pack a movie with so many Oscar hopefuls that you shoot yourself in the foot though? Anyway, the movie hits theaters on October 18th. So, will you go see “The Butler?”
All is not well in the house of Naughty. Last night, Treach went on a Twitter rant and fired his group mate, Vinnie. And he did so… on the twitters.
Vinnie, who apparently runs the “official” Naughty Twitter account, posted this image and lengthy quote to Instagram and Twitter as a subtweet.
Is this what Hip Hop is now? Twitter jabs and not-so-subtle comebacks? Even Bobby Brown got a group vote out. Is this what’s hood now?
The group has a performance scheduled for later this month in North Carolina. So far, no word on whether this was a “hacked” tweet or what. Stay tuned…
