The new season of Iyanla: Fix My Life starts with a bang next month with host, Iyanla Vanzant, sitting down with volatile rapper DMX. And, if the preview is any indication of the full show, get your DVR ready because he shows up high and things fall apart after that. Don’t belee me, juh watch!

Iyanla: Fix My Life premieres April 13th at 10 pm (ET) on OWN. Former Real Housewife of the ATL Sheree Whitfield and her ex-husband, Disco Eyed Bob, will also appear on an episode of Iyanla. So…will you watch?

Little Kevin Hart is doing big things these days. His BET show, Real Husbands of Hollywood is warming up (those first couple shows were, ehhhh) and now he’s set to host Saturday Night Live this weekend.

In these promos with the hilarious Jason Sudeikis, Kevin plots what it would be like to win an Oscar and pokes fun at his short stature.

SNL airs Saturday at 11:30 pm (ET) on NBC.

So, you watchin’?

Well, happy belated birthday, Rihanna! Last night, on the Pretty Bajan Yodeler’s 25th birthday, Law & Order: SVU aired a promo for its next episode that’s “ripped from the headlines,” fa real! The “Funny Valentine” episode features “a familiar story of two celebrities, intertwined by abuse” with images of a battered celebutante and her hippity hopper boyfriend. The SVU squad has to battle the industry’s politics to get to the bottom of the woman’s brutal assault. *cue the gavel*

Adding to the episode, guest appearances by Perez Hilton and Wendy Williams. Williams plays a talk show host (what a stretch) who interviews the Chris Brown-ish character. I wonder if he tosses a chair? Anyway, the episode airs Wednesday, February 27th at 9 pm ET on NBC.

Will you watch?

The first season of R&B Divas was so successful that TV One decided a spinoff was in order, so they went and found six more sistas of a certain age, with voices who can’t get radio airplay because they don’t yodel in crop tops. The cast of the new R&B Divas: LA was announced today and it includes Kelly Price, Chanté Moore, Lil’ Mo, Claudette Ortiz, Michel’le and Dawn Robinson. The show starts production this month in LA and premieres later this year.

According to TV One’s press release:

Over eight episodes, viewers and fans will follow these multitalented ladies as they seek to individually and collectively re-establish themselves in the pop culture limelight with new deals, new drama and new directions for their careers and their lives. Success is the only option for these six friends – but is there room at the top for them all?

Basically a wash, rinse, repeat of the main show with less humidity.

Kelly Price’s storyline will focus on her music industry struggles, her marriage to her husbandger and their three kids.

Recently divorced Chanté Moore will soon take to Broadway for the musical “Gospel Soul Rock ‘n’ Roll” and she’ll be plugging her album, due out later this year.

Lil’ Mo (government name: Cynthia Loving) is trying to get back into music after taking time off to focus on her marriage and four children.

Claudette Ortiz, of City High fame, is now a single mother (after divorcing bandmate Ryan Toby) who’s trying to revive her career. Sidebar: if you haven’t seen the Intervention with her former lover/other bandmate Robby Pardlo, get you some. Methinks this might be the “messy” one, just based on the “history” here. Just a hunch.

Squeaky-voiced singer Michel’le (Toussaint) hasn’t really had a hit since the ’90s but she’s been busy raising children by Dr. Dre and Suge Knight. She’s trying to get back on the forefront of the music scene, writing a book and finding a man (which has got to be tough with Suge as your ex-husband)! This could get messy too.

On again, off again, on again En Vogue member Dawn Robinson rounds out the cast. She’s divorced too and is working on a book and a new girl group called GLAMM.

So, will ya watch?

I’ve watched enough doctor shows to believe I can really diagnose people. And sometimes, a Witch be right, son! You’re welcome, lady with that rash. NBC has a new medical drama that I just may add to my medical information arsenal that co-stars America’s favorite prime time mother, Phylicia Rashad.

Ms. Rashad (I just can’t call her Phylicia) stars as Dr. Vanessa Young, the take no mess head of the neurosurgery department, on NBC’s Do No Harm. Take a peek.
