The Game is finally back with fresh episodes this Sunday. In “Take These Vows and Shove’em” Jason tells Kelly (Brittany Daniel) that “it’s over” and Tasha (Wendy Raquel Robinson) and Melanie (Tia Mowry) don’t see eye to eye on how to help Kelly. Tune in to see how it rolls out.

ALICIA KEYS IN MICRO-SERIES

Alicia Keys stars in “Fresh Takes,” a new micro-series by MTV and Dove, which follows the lives of three roommates in their mid-twenties living in New York City. The episodes air weekly during “The Hills” starting March 24th.

Vivica A. Fox is joining the ever growing world of reality based series with a new competition show that searches for the next great celebrity stylist.

“Glam God With Vivica A. Fox,” due to premiere this summer, will feature contestants vying to become a stylist to the stars through their talents in three key elements of fashion - hair, make-up and wardrobe.

Each week the hopefuls will compete in various challenges designed to test their knowledge of fashion and style trends as they create the perfect look from head to toe. Those who fall short will have their style license revoked and be sent packing. The lone remaining stylist will win a chance to style an A-list celebrity and receive $100,000.

“Vivica is a movie star and a fashion icon who knows how to step onto the red carpet and nail it every single time,” said Jeff Olde, Executive Vice President, Original Programming and Production, VH1. “Her instincts are impeccable and she knows how critical it is to have a ‘glam god’ she can trust to create a star-making killer look. We are thrilled that we have her vision and insights to drive this show.”

Author Staci Robinson is suing The CW, its owners and some producers for $40 million for allegedly stealing the concept of her unpublished novel to create the sitcom “The Game,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The writer claims that in 2001, she had interviewed for a job as a writers assistant at Kelsey Grammer’s Gramnet Prods. when she gave a manuscript of her novel, Interceptions, to “Game” executive producer Mara Brock Akil. The suit, filed Sept. 14, alleges that the series copies her premise and the characters in the book.

She names the CW and its owners, CBS and Warner Bros., Akil and Gramnet as defendants. Besides the hefty monetary damages, Robinson is seeking a temporary restraining order to keep the network from premiering the show on Sunday, Oct. 1.

Both the written and filmed versions center on a woman who is devoted to an NFL player, but wants to pursue her professional schooling.

Not gonna watch Vivica’s show. Congrats to her but I’m not gonna watch it.

Everytime I see the comercials for A. Key’s show I laugh because her character seems so fake to me. She seems like someone you wouldn’t think A. Keys would act like and it’s so funny to me.

Yeah i agree with STLCHICK, something is kinda off about Alica’s character. it doesn’t seem natural.

Yay i luv the game. And Viv as the host i dunnno, but the show sounds like a good idea

something aint right

who in the hells blank did vivca suck to get a show on style! this is a joke right! a clown is going to come out with a horn and honk her Neo hair line ass off the first episode!

I love alicia, so positive

20.

something aint right

Friday, March 21, 2008 /

Style Icon! Vivica is more of a tranny icon in my book!

21.

EVERYBODY CAN'T ACT.....

Friday, March 21, 2008 /

@18 AND @13 IT’S PROBABLY BECAUSE EVERYONE CAN’T ACT AND FOR THAT MATTER ALICIA KEYS DOES NOT HAVE THE BEST VOCALS OUT HERE EITHER, SHE LOOKS LIKE WHITE AMERICA IS WHY SHE GOT THE ROLE. IT DID SEEM REAL TO ME SHE IS NOT A NATURAL THESE SINGERS WANT TO DO EVERYTHING.BECAUSE THEY GET HYPED UP ABOUT ONE THING AND THEN THEY THINK THEY CAN DO IT ALL. I AGREE WITH BOTH OF YOU.

Tuning into:

* Aunt Viv’s Show—- NOT!!!!!!!!

* Alicia’s Micro-Series—- Looks goofy, but I’ll check it out. :-)

* The Game— Definitiely, yes. The show’s last season was so good.

P.P.S. The CW sucks for switching “The Game” and “Everybody Hates Chris” to Sunday nights.

AIN'T THAT SO!!!!

Friday, March 21, 2008 /

They should have all these wannbee actors and actresses all perform on Broadway first and let those NY critcs get a hold of them……..that’s all i got to say. Say what you will but there one person I KNOW has passed that test and I can’t wait to see her perform again…they are not like TV they will send yu home and shut you down in the quickness like Debbie Allen says. Ask Chaka Khan and Bebe Winans.
Everybody is not gifted to act. It is a gift. The best in the business have all started on the Great White Way.

Vivica has seen better days. She sure went downhill fast! Seems like just yesterday she was a hottie married to 69. Ever since 50 got to her she’s been deteriorating like a mutha …

She needs to get into some serious character roles on the big screen and stay far away from trying to be the ‘ish in terms of fashion and/or beauty. Those days unfortunately are long gone …. (Still luv ya Auntie Viv!)

Viv is kind of ghetto. I hope this show doesn’t turn out to be a mess like other black reality shows have.

It’s about time we see some new shows for The Game. I am mad that I am just now getting into it during the second season though.

I been tired of reality TV for a long time now.
(shamefully I did watch Keyshia Cole’s show, but her situation when she was younger was very similar to mine)

it’s like CW wants “the game” to get cancelled by moving their slot to sunday nights when you know, no one watches tv. watch, come the 3rd or 4th season, “the game” will be axed.

God help us!! If Vivica reads this please take the honest criticism to heart. Compared to the majority of terrible black actresses in Hollywood today, you are respeted for your talent and have contributed your talent to great movies such as Soulfood. However, you have never been a fashion icon. In addition, your terrible choice to undergo such dramatic plastic surgery was a badly made decision. You went from a natural beauty to a over made up tranny. Congratulations on your show, but do us a favor, keep it real. Dont have your ghetto girls like Lisa “I cant act if my life depended on it” Raye pimpiing pony tails. A listers are Angela Basset etc. A good example for you would be like when Tyra had Queen Latifa on ANTM. Queen is class, your girl L-Raye is a ghetto trash. Please prove us wrong and really have A-list stars on your show.

It has nothing to do with her not being able to act, it’s the fact that shes really hood and these characters they have her play in movies like the nannie diaries and what not would be more suited for soembody like beyonce or brandy. Alicia is very ghetto and it’s funny watchig her try to stifle that for these roles they put her in, having her try and speak in correct english instead of that jersey slang makes her sound artificial.

LOLLLLLLLLL AT #38

you cant be serious are you did shes just really say that alicia keys was ghetto. i nearly died, so playing beyonce is an country bumpkin stop playin you must be an beyonce stan to even say something like this, go to you tube and find an interview with alicia and then do beyonce and come back and tell me who is REALLY NOT RIGHT. its called thinking before you speak girl

and big ups to alicia im def going to be watching this
