Love Like This: T.I., Tiny Do The Family Hustle

Tom Joyner — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 14:44:49 +0000

It’s no secret: Clifford “T.I.” Harris and Tameka “Tiny” Cottle-Harris are the latest celebs to jump on the reality TV bandwagon. The now-married couple has weathered two of T.I.’s stints in jail and is now showcasing their family on national TV.

Cottle-Harris is a reality TV vet, having already starred on the BET show “Tiny and Toya” with Toya Carter, Li’l Wayne’s ex-wife. On that show, we were introduced to Cottle-Harris’ family, which includes her white mother and African-American father, who has Alzheimer’s disease. The former member of the platinum selling group Xscape, who is five years older than her husband, also showed some business acumen as she attempted to open a nail salon and promote a girl group that includes her oldest daughter.

Let ‘The Game’ Begin: New Season Set for Kick Off

Tom Joyner — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 14:51:03 +0000

“The Game” is returning to BET tonight at 10 p.m., and added nine more episodes than last season, expanding this year’s to a total of 22 shows. You know what that means: Expect that things will be more dramatic and crazy than ever.

A preview of the first two episodes of the season sets up some interesting storylines, including whether Malik is still a valuable client for his mother, Tasha Mack; how Jason’s teen years helped mold him into the man he is today and what Melanie and Derwin will likely be fighting about for some time to come. It starts off a little rocky, but by the end of Episode Two, “The Game” appears to be hitting its stride.

BET Founder Says Corporations Should Consider More Black Execs

Cochise — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 20:30:31 +0000

BET founder Robert L. Johnson suggests that an answer to Black unemployment would be a requirement for all corporations to consider a Black prospect for all head positions.

Johnson’s suggestion was inspired by the NFL’s so-called “Rooney Rule,” a rule that requires teams to interview minority candidates for head coaching and senior operations positions.

“The RLJ Rule is principally designed to encourage companies to voluntarily establish a ‘best practices’ policy to identify and interview the tremendous talent pool of African-American managers and African-American companies that are often overlooked because of traditional hiring or procurement practices,” said Johnson in a statement.

BET To Honor Aaliyah With 10-Year Anniversary Tribute

WTLC-FM 106.7 — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 14:45:34 +0000

Next month marks the 10th anniversary of Aaliyah’s untimely death and BET plans to air a special tribute to the singer to honor her life.

The singer died in a tragic plane crash on August 25, 2001, shocking thousands of fans, but few have forgotten her since. From Tiffany Evans and The-Dream paying musical tributes to Drake penning love letters, Aaliyah lives on in memory.

Yesterday, BET tweeted: “W/ the 10th anniv of Aaliyah’s passing approaching, we’re airing Romeo Must Die today at 8P/7C. Stay tuned for a tribute special next month!”

Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber Innuendo: BET Has Gone Too Far

WTLC-FM 106.7 — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 21:56:19 +0000

Most talk about Sunday’s BET Awards centered on the Chris Brown-Rihanna screw-up, however, I heard little to nothing regarding the skit involving rapper Nicki Minaj and teen heartthrob, Justin Bieber.

During the segment in which both artists rambled about who had the strongest fan base, Bieber began to flirt with the female MC. Minaj, 26, responded by asking the 17-year-old if he could drive, implicitly suggesting he is too young for her. While it rendered as a harmless crush — as would a student have for his older, attractive teacher—things got a little inappropriate when Minaj posed the question to Bieber, “Can you handle curves?” The comment was an apparent sexual innuendo and reference to her infamous rear end. Bieber replied with a resolute “Yes I can.”

Though I understand the skit had no intention to be inappropriate or offensive, it unfortunately turned out to be just that.

Since when was it OK for a minor to be implicated in such sexualized language?

17-years-old or not, Bieber is still underage, not to mention most of his fan base (most of whom stood with him on the stage) are preteen and teenage girls. The blame could be placed on Minaj and Bieber, but truthfully BET is the ultimate culprit. The network’s attempt to be provocative fell flat into a dangerous and highly sensitive locale.

But where is the public scorn?

There’s no way this would have passed if the circumstances were different. If the skit featured a male hip-hop artist and an underage girl (God forbid even white), the media would have thrown pebbles at BET and the artist himself. I guess it’s excusable if it’s a female rapper and an underage Canadian.

This isn’t the first time Justin was involved with inappropriateness regarding older women. Bieber raised eyebrows when he and Kim Kardashian, 30, befriended one another in what seemed a bit improper. Personally, I feel Bieber is growing up too fast and it’s much too soon to be involved in such raciness. While this is purely entertainment, in the real word it reaps punitive implications.

I suggest BET, Bieber and Minaj be a little more careful the next time they decide to partake in an immodest “joke.”

Awkward Moment Of The Year: BET’s Viewer’s Choice Award Goes Terribly Wrong! [VIDEO]

The Urban Daily — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 14:54:40 +0000

Last night BET may have encountered their most embarrassing moment to date! An award that has been given out by a fan for some years now went terribly wrong after the “teleprompter winner” didn’t match the “Evo Tablet Winner.” Tiffany Green (a huge Nicki Minaj fan) was horribly embarrassed after she read the winner of the Coca-Cola’s Viewer’s Choice Award winner to be Chris Brown then Rihanna and finally Drake who after all the fumbles actually didn’t win the award! This comes after Rihanna and Drake have been rumored to be messing around. Tiffany took to her Twitter account accusing BET of setting her up, saying:

“Bawling backstage. They totally f*cked me up.”

“The tablet f*ckin said CHRIS BROWN….the TELEPROMPTER said Rihanna. What the F*CK?????? Goin home.”

“So BET did that on purpose. Oh. I feel better.”

“Look b*tches….Im not SLOW. lol They did the sh*t on PURPOSE. F*cked up right? *shrug* smh”
