VH1 is adding second seasons of Brandy and Ray J: A Family Business, Basketball Wives and What Chilli Wants.

I guess the original crop of basketball non-wives wasn’t good enough (ya think?) because casting is underway for that show. I sure hope Chilli isn’t still clinging to that damn list in the 2nd season. And Brandy’s lacefront is breathing easier since it won’t need to go down to the unemployment offic.

The head of programming and production over at VH1 says “viewers connected strongly with these three new series this year, and we’re so happy that we can continue to share these real-life stories from the worlds of music and celebrity.”

*rolls over and hits snooze button*

Will you watch another season of these shows?

Remember that family that was on straight-up Klump status…so much so, they had their own weight loss reality show on TLC? Turns out, the Coles family has lost a combined 327 lbs. Joy Behar caught up with the family on her HLN show.

The father is still rocking those hood ass braids. Sigh. Win some. Lose some.

They still have a ways to go but they once weighed more than 1400 lbs. as a group, so congrats to them.

More sad news out of Utah today… Gary Coleman has died. Earlier, we reported he was in bad shape after suffering a fall. The former child star passed away around 12:05 pm (MT) today. His wife decided to remove him from life support. Coleman died of an intracranial hemorrhage, which likely caused him to fall.

Gary Coleman was just 42 years old.

After 5 years on the teevay, Tyra Banks wacky daytime talk show takes a bow today. Good thing she’s saving the crazy for America’s Next Top Model though.

Anyway, during her run, Tyra has been fat, homeless, a man and she’s shown us how to cleanse our colons. And what has Oprah done for you lately? (I kid, I kid… Don’t shoot me Momma O!)

Of all the people she’s interviewed, she says interviewing then Senator Barack Obama was thrilling.

“I was so nervous, sick to my stomach and my hands were shaking. I asked him to look into the crystal ball and said, ‘What do you see in your future, Senator?’ And without hesitation he replied, ‘The White House.’ That clip ran on CNN and every national morning show. I’ll never forget being a part of political history.”

Political history? She made the future leader of the free world look into a crystal ball like Oda Mae Brown telling Molly she was in “danger, girl.” C’mon, Tyra!

Clearly, his ego is still thriving… and I love that about him. Not sure how I feel about the song yet though.

Troubling news out of Utah:

ABC News is reporting actor Gary Coleman’s health has taken a turn.  We reported yesterday that Coleman was in surgical ICU at a Utah hospital.  His people were very silent about the story, but it seems the situation has gone from bad to worse.  ABC is now reporting Coleman is in a coma and on life support after suffering a fall in Utah.

Prayers for Gary!

UPDATE: TMZ reports doctors have determined that Coleman suffered a brain hemorrhage on Wednesday, which is what likely caused him to fall.

Note to CNN: some rap songs have the N-word in them. #justsayin

In an attempt to show their “hipness,” CNN played a snippet of Coolio’s “Fantastic Voyage” (yeah, they tried to be “hip” whilst playing some Coolio), after running a story about 103 year old Pennsylvania resident, Gladys Flamer. Miss Gladys still rolls around in her Caddy, raising money for her church. CNN gave Miss Gladys a nice lil shout out, then played this…

Wonder how they’re working hard to make up for it?

Water is wet. And Alicia Keys is knocked up. Duuuh!

People magazine finally joins the info train and reports that Alicia Keys is pregnant! Baby makes three for Alicia and her toucan boo, Swizz Beatz.

From People:
The musicians “are expecting a baby and are engaged to be married in a private ceremony later this year,” reps for the couple confirm to PEOPLE.

The announcement comes after the two, together since fall 2008, attended Thursday night’s Black Ball in London, which benefits Keys’s Keep a Child Alive charity.

“They’re very happy,” says a friend of the couple.

Of course, Swizzy has 2 kids (a 9 year old from a previous relationship and a 3 year old with a woman scorned, ex-wife Mashonda).

Swizzy has maintained that his relationship with Alicia was not the cause of the breakdown of his marriage. He told MTV back in 2008, “everybody can have their fun right now talking that dumb sh– about my divorce and all that. I’mma give them something to talk about. People get divorced every f—in’ day. They need to worry about more serious things.”

Well I guess he told us!

I’ve never really been one for the sanging competitions, and about the time that that Taylor Hicks rained his salt and peppery fauxsoulthunder over American Idol, I was done. Which means I missed Lil Penny kicking it old school, on last night’s finale. Flaunting her new and improved 6.0 body.   Enjoy.

Oh and some guy won *shrug*
