Salt & Pepa are back on the scene with new reality show set to air Monday, Oct. 15 on VH1. Above is an exclusive clip from the season.
Salt is angry about being unappreciated when they were together and Pepa blames Salt for breaking up the group. Their lifestyles are also polar opposites: Salt has indeed found God and is living a quiet life in Long Island with her husband while Pepa is still the party girl and desperately wants to re-capture the glamour of Salt-N-Pepa’s glory days. Can they overcome their differences long enough to heal their friendship and perform again? [SOURCE]
Even though I’ve had it up to here with reality television, I might watch this one.
OPRAH WINFREY RAISES 3 MILLION FOR OBAMA
Even though the media was banned from the star-studded luncheon Oprah Winfrey threw for presidential hopeful Barack Obama over the weekend, someone managed to snap a good photo. Here is more info about the event.
The overwhelmingly African American crowd included distinguished senior figures, including basketball superstar Bill Russell and Academy Award-winning actor Sydney Poitier, and younger stars, including Holly Robinson Peete and cutting-edge comedian Chris Rock. Motown’s Stevie Wonder provided the entertainment, singing his hits from the ’70s and ’80s.
Inside the gates of Winfrey’s palatial seaside getaway, what some feared would be a starched, formal affair took on the air of a relaxed family reunion or, as one guest put it, “a free concert.” Winfrey’s staff had sent out memos to ticket buyers urging them to wear “garden” attire and warning women not to wear heels that would sink into the meadow.

JENNIFER HUDSON LANDS ANOTHER MOVIE ROLE
“Dreamgirls” Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson has joined the cast of New Line’s “Sex and the City: The Movie.”
Hudson, who’s in final negotiations, will portray the assistant to Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw. The movie revolves around the lives of the four main “Sex and the City” characters, four years after the time frame of the finale of the HBO series, which wrapped its six-year run in 2004. Word is it will begin shooting in New York on Sept. 19.
Hudson recently completed work on the drama “Winged Creatures.”
I will definitely see the Salt and Pepa show. they are so beautiful and I used to love their songs. Pepa was good on the other VH-1 shows!
Congrats Jen
LOL, I’m happy 4 SnP, ish looks funny, GO OBAMA!!!
Yeah, I might watch the Salt N Pepa thing.
I have no comment on the rest.
Salt N Pepa- I hope the show does good but why can’t Pepa understand Salt wanted to grow up and stay out the spotlight for just a moment. I wouldn’t want to be with her because she seems real petty and ghetto. But will make for good T.V.
Obama- Yeah!!! I hope he wins because America needs change. Thank You Ofrah!!!!!!!
J-Hud- O.k. Now how is J. Hud going to be in a movie where all the original characters were white? I mean it’s good she has the offer but how will people react when their cute lil Sarah Jessica Parker is traded for the more plumpness of J-hud. I think it is great and she is moving far but white america wants to keep their shows WHITE!
I will be watching that show, both ladies still look great.
I love Obama and everything he represents. I’ll be voting for him.
Sex and the City is one of my favorite shows, so I can’t wait to see the movie.
While I’m still a fan but personally I think we need to take a stand on reality TV especially VH1 cause they love to exploit negative images of black people.
We need to push for more sitcoms & drama on television cause it’s soooo many writers out of work due to “so-called” reality TV
@ 5. Did you read the article? She is playing Jessica’s assistant.
Oh yeah, Obama in 08′!!!!
Wow I would have never thought Salt n Pepa was having issues….
I tell you Obama hit the lotto when Oprah chose to back him up, its not surprising she raised that amount of money for his campaign. I mean this is Oprah guys….
Good for J.Hud…
Good for Obama, though this country is not having a black President. Ophrah can get these white folks to buy books and such but I know they are saying “Oprah? a black president? now you pushing it.
congrats, JHud, do ya thang girl.
What’s up with all of these silly reality shows? Give me a break. Salt N Pepa please leave well enough alone, yo guys are legends, don’t stoop to this level.
*Yawning* Mornin’ All ,
I’m hook, i will be watching that Salt N Pepa joint…all day
J Hud in Sex in The City movie…hmmmm..judgement still out on that one.
I WILL BE WATCHING SALT-PEPA, BUT I NOR ANYONE ELSE I CHECKING FOR THEIR MUSIC. BUT THEY ARE TRUE LEGENDS….
I will mos def be watching Salt & Pepa’s show. Congrats to J. Hud! Sex in the City is still my show
Wait, Oprah raised 3 mill for Barack…She could gave him that out of her change purse…or heck the money in her couch seat cushions
Haha I cannot wait to watch SNP show…they love each other deep down, to me they are like sisters and they really need to reconcile and take each other unconditionally with understanding and patience….and once thats done, they want have any more perplex issues…what ive seen so far tells me that they just dont understand each other as much as they use to, since they have both grown up into mature women.
Theyll get along, just like coco and taj from SWV…lol
Peppa needs to respect Salt’s lifestyle and stop tryng to make extra money .
Good for J hudd .
Good for Oprah . I can’t belive there’s a male she actually likes.
Il be watching the salt and pepper reality show. I like the fact that Salt now has her life screwed on properly and has found God. Congrats to J Hud.
@ 15. Oprah was going by the book for the luncheon. Which is smart in my opinion. Obama already raised over 50 million for his campaign and I’m sure Oprah is helping him out with more. I’m assuming, that 3 million just came from the guest.
SNP Show looks interesting…and they must have created that character cause SJP did not have an assistant on the show, oh well, we’ll see how that works out…Obama better build up those coffers now, cause Hillary is getting money like crazy
salt, chill yall could perform whatta man, or come with some new material like prince has…ops that may require some writing talent. and was pepa livin ina town house!? wtf all of that money they got and she doesn’e have a detached house!?
The show looks good already.
J-Hud in a Sex In the City Movie? Didn’t she turn down a role in another movie because there would be nudity in it, not for her, but for another actor? I’m pretty sure she said she’d never do a movie where there would be nudity in it, period. We’re talking about SITC, I’m sure there will be a boob or two. She’s either going back on her word or hasn’t seen an episode in her life.
I will be watching that Salt ‘N Pepa show. From the little snip, it looks like one may have grown up while the other hasn’t. I guess we will see how it all unfolds.
OBAMA – I DON”T want him to win this election! Don’t rip my head off just yet. Let me explain my reasoning…. The dude in office right now has created a huge mess. When he leaves office he has no worries… you know why, because he doesn’t have to clean it up. If Obama wins his focus will be on cleaning up the mess and not being able to focus on his own agenda. Which will lead him to be recognized as a terrible Pres. and will not win re-election. Feel me on this….
Not sure why, but I do not like J Hudson. Sorry
Oprah should give $$ to the Jena 6 camp as well.
I’m tired of reality shows but I Love S&P so I may watch it.
It just a matter of people actually registering….in order to vote…their are plenty of people who are not registered…. He could actually win!! Either him of Mrs. Clinton.
Congrats Jen
@Juliesadime…. Good Morning lady
#20 I didn’t think SJP had an assistant either. J.Hud seems so fake to me. Go Obama do it big
Sex and the City is def a big role for Jennifer Hudson. This series was a pop culture icon and the fashion WHAT!! Although this role will not show off her singing ability it’ll really show if she can carrie herself amongest 4 of the most talented actresses ever
@ andrice
it looks like a townhouse to me
partying = townhouse
priorities = home
why can’t j hud be the new friend of the women or something substantial,DAMN!!! why she gotta be an assistant. fuck sjp.
It’s Go time, Obama. Let’s do it.
IM GOING TO WATCH SALT AND PEPA, CONGRATS HUDSON!
That SnP preview was interesting. I’m wondering though, where does Spin fit into all of this?
I agree with #11. Salt N Pepa should “Let It Go” like Keyshia Cole. They are too old for this sh**.
Go OBAMA!!
Pepa needs to grow up…I don’t know if I want to watch this. Now I see why Pepa stays on VH1…GROW UP AND DO SOMETHING ELSE!!
I have know these two for some years now and I think this show is definately something to watch. TUNE IN ALL!!!!!!
Funny I just sent CL this video a few hours ago. I agree it looks exciting and I love Salt-n-Pepa.
Im sorry, I love reality t.v. (the good stuff anyway) and will definitely be tuning in. What’s up with Nas & Kelis’ show?
#24 I AGREE 100%!!!!!!!!!!
SALT&PEPA LEAVE IT ALONE YOU GUYS ARE LEGENDS DON’T TARNISH IT!!!!!!!
NOT SURE ABOUT THIS ROLE J-HUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Mallato, Hey girl. Godd morning, My sister.
Way to go Jennifer … I loved the show Sex and the City; I hope the movie’s good. I can’t wait.
As for Salt n Peppa … I will surely be watching.
Black people need to register to VOTE, so they can our voice seriously. GO Oprah!
The SnP show does look good, but when I think about the fact that VH1 is pushing that fool ass I Love New York and Flavor of Love 3, I’m gonna have to stick to my guns and continue to support a boycott of VH1 for promoting what can be only called modern day minstrel shows.
I support Obama, and it would be great if he became president, but I predict it will come down to him splitting a ticket and running for vice president with either Clinton or Edwards. If that happens, my smart money would bet on an Edwards/Obama run.
I think JHud is playing it smart by taking a supporting role in a very established and high profile franchise. Most Oscar winners go on to big flashy roles which basically amounts to one big bomb after another:
Jamie Foxx – Miami Vice, Jarhead
Halle Berry – Catwoman, Perfect Stranger
Cuba Gooding Jr. – EVERYTHING he’s done after winning
Nicole Kidman – Everything she’s done after winning
Mira Sorvino – The same
Russell Crowe – The same
Jennifer Connelly – The same
Hillary Swank – The Affair of the Necklace, The Reaping and a few more. Hillary though, is the only actor who can probably compare to Streep in terms of winning more awards, though. Halle too, if she’d just stop fucking up.
and so on.
So Jen, look at the big picture, play it smart, take a lead here and there, hone your craft with a few small stripped down independent flicks, and continue to make wise choices.
Oh this is going to be good.
OK & they are doin a reality show because……………Salt is totally distant from the whole “Push-It” scene
Love OPRAH FOR SUPPORTING OBAMA.
LOVE J-HUD doing her thing. That is going to be a big movie I just hope she is not type cast to be that black assistant, funny, loud, and with one or two lines.
@ #24 MSSHE
Excellent point.
Pepa needs to grow up and get on with her life, and let Salt live hers. She (Pepa) is obviously not happy with her life unless she can be in the spotlight or on stage…u made you mark in hip hop…give it a rest! Plus I don’t want to hear no old @$$ “push it” song! LOL
@ 24 I agree with you on that Obama issue as well…he will have too much to clean up! President Bush has dug a hole so deep for the United States gov’t it’s really a shame of what we will eveutally have to do to get out of this mess if we can get out at all. I respect him for running all the same, and Oprah for backing him…on the contrary whether he wins or not we need more strong, black leaders such as himself. He has gotten this far…he’s already a winner in my book!
DO YA THANG J. HUD!
* I will be watching Salt & Pepa. Pepa needs to get a life. It’s time to move on, you can’t live in the past. She needs to stop trying to re- capture the glory days and make a name for herself in entertainment business and stop blaming Salt. I mean some people grow up and move on.
*Congrats on the 3mill raised for OBAMA!
*Interesting part that J Hudson will be playing.
FANTASY TIME:
Obama – President
Edwards – Vice-President
Rice – Secretary of State (if she was a Democrat, that is)
Powell – Chariman of the Joints Chief of Staff
Vernon Jordan – Press Secretary
then I woke up.
IM DEFINATELY TUNING IN TO THIS
I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW SALT CHANGE HER LIFE IN THAT WAY
.change is apart of growth, can’t be mad at her for that
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!…………. I wasn’t too keene on watching Salt n Pep, but I may actually watch. This is a good example of friends growing apart. Not to say that Salt is more mature, or Pep is ghetto. They just lead diff lives,and aren’t who they were 15 years ago. I think this show will be awesome! It may also help beefing friends appreciate and accept their differences. If Pep wants to get back in the game, she should. Solo style. Cause salt aint having it. Its obvious she doesn’t feel she can stand alone. She ought to try her hand at producing or managing a new age group if she just want to stay in the industry. Pep can’t fault a gal for living life as she pleases.
Hopefully the stylists on set will give Jennifer a better wig and I’ll definitely be watching the SNP show.
~MRS SALT & MR PEPPER NEEDS TO GO AND SIT DOWN, CONGRATS TO OBAMA AND HIS MOMMA, SEE OPRAH IS SO GIVING, NOW JENN IN THE SEX & THE CITY MOVIE.. NOW THAT’S GOING TO BE INTERESTING!!~

——————————————————————————————
I agree 100%! But, hey, people do anything for money and fame. It doesn’t take anything talent to exploit yourself on tv.
To the person that questioned why they are doing a reality show….the answer is MONEY! When is the last time they worked? This is their only way. Some people just don’t know when to move on.
@ #23, that was a rumor Jennifer cleared up a long time ago.
GO JENNIFER!!!! This girl is doing big things! STILL waiting on that album tho!
I dont think Pepa can really call herself a friend if she cant understand that Salt grew up and moved on with her life to something better.. Yeah, it was cool for what it was (back then), but as you become a woman..your suppose to elevate. When you marry and have kids you are suppose to elevate…you are NOT suppose to be in the same place mentally and emotionally that you were in the 80′s. Aint nothing worse then being at a club and seeing women who are darn near 50 trying to shake it up like they are 21, it looks a hot mess. And while they may (think) they look good….Im sorry..they donttt. Grow up Pepa…you should be happy for your “friend”…that she found someone to love, that loves her… as well as finding the love of God. You should be “happy”…not hating. Is it really anger as you claim and express…or is it jealousy?
Maybe I will watch, Id rather watch this than Flava or ILNY.
well Im with others who have previously posted, do we really need another reality show??? but I GUESS ! Then peppa should respect and suports salt’s decision cus she is rite! (on so many levels btw)
Obama and Oprah: YAH! IM Loving that 4seriously….
J-hud is my girl(in my head LoL) so its all good 2 hear of her wit great news
@24- Clinton was able to clean up the republican mess and focus on the issues while getting some head all at the same time….Why can’t Obama do it??? It’s all about multi-tasking. I think all Dems end up cleaning up after Repubs. I think he can do it. I hope Obama wins, he is what we need. However I do fear for his life because white America is not ready for a black president. They would rather keep the whit one that is sending their children to slaughter over a senseless war than allow a black president! Go Obama! High five Oprah!
Go J-Hud!
And though I am so over reality tv I might check SnN out as well…I just hope they don’t coon it out like the rest!
