Bits & Pieces: BET’s “Played By Fame,” Ray-J Looks For Love, & Tameka Raymond Joins “Real Housewives”?
I guess we shouldn’t be surprised by this, but damn. Brandy, can’t you talk any sense into him? Ray-J is following in Flavor Flav’s footsteps with his own search for arm candy on VH1’s latest trainwreck “For the Love of Ray-J.”
Plot points include: Girl 1 accuses Girl 2 of only being on the show to sell her album/clothing line/porn site. Girl 3 requests a private meeting with the singer to reveal that Girl 4 is still sleeping with her baby’s daddy. Mama Norwood (or Yung Berg) visit to snuff out which lady is truly ready for a life of leaked sex tapes and C-list cameos with their boy. Meanwhile, Girl 5 continues to assert that she’s loved Ray-J ever since he played an orphan on that TV show with Sinbad. However, after she makes it to the finale with Girl 1, it’s later discovered that she too is working on an album and lingerie line. Rinse and repeat for Seasons 2 and 3.
You can get to know Caviar, Chardonnay, Cocktail, Hot Cocoa, and more – yes, those are their nicknames – on VH1.com now before the premiere episode on February 2.
Is it just me or are most BET shows just dark-skinned siblings to whatever’s on MTV? “TRL” begat “106 & Park,” “The Hills” spawned “Baldwin Hills,” and now “Punk’d” is the network’s latest inspiration.
In ”Played By Fame,” premiering January 30 at 10 PM EST, fans sign up for the chance to spend a day with their favorite celebrity only to discover the joke’s on them. Al Shearer of “Hits From the Street” fame is the host, and a slew of artists have been enlisted as the pranksters. (Ludacris, Monica, Mario, Jazze Pha, Raheem Devaughn, Bobby Valentino, and E-40 just to name a few.)
And lastly, from the please-let-this-be-a-rumor file, Bossip.com is reporting that big changes are underway for the next season of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” According to their “sources,” Deshawn Snow is out and Tameka Raymond is in.
Say it ain’t so, Ush. After chewing out the media and your fans for being too hard on your wife, you wouldn’t be foolish enough to let the Misses air all your business on TV, would you? If so, this marriage is sure to be a wrap before you can say ”reunion show.” (Nick and Jessica anyone?)
