  3. Bub

    I guess it’s good Kelly will be on TV on a weekly basis. Hammer, nobody cares. And finally, I haven’t watched the Apprentice in a while but I might tune in this season. Side bar: T-Boz, that damn hair! My God it’s been the same way for the last 18 yrs. Cut that sh!t or do something different!

  4. BLISS

  7. Toya

    I think it’s great that Kelly is gettin’ gigs….And yeah, most “hate” on Hammertime lol…but will most likely be tuned in when the show airs.

  8. ELIMINATE THE WORD "HATE" IN 09

    GO KELLY!!!! NOTICE HOW EVER SINCE SHE LEFT MATTHEWS MANAGEMENT SHE HAS BEEN GETTING SO MANY GIGS AS FAR AS TV GOES RUMOR HAS IT THAT SHE IS ALSO SUPPOSED TO HOSTING ON X-FACTOR AS WELL. IDK HOW TRUE THAT IS BUT THAT WILL BE A GOOD LOOK.

    AS FOR T-BOZ IDC WHAT ANYBODY SAYS THAT LOOK WORKS FOR HER. SHE IS BEAUTIFUL. AND EVEN THOUGH I DON’T WATCH THE APPRENTICE, YOU GOT TO MAKE THAT MONEY SOME HOW. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE ON THE SHOW.

  9. pfffft

    number 8 please shut up! when you do those kind of things it means you have no musical or acting success! mathew has nothing to do with that, I swear when her new album is going to flop again with the new manager, it will be a relief damn

  10. mack

    @#2….why wouldn’t t-boz still be rocking her hair like that? along with sisqo’, mary j. blige and others? they are the originators of their own style.

  11. MEME

    Congrats to Kelly I wad def be watchin the show.

    I have an issue with concreteloop tho….they are always the last out of the 4 blog sites I visit to post news. Its almost like they go to these other sites to see what they are posting and post them on this site hours some time days later, as in this case.

  12. YAY KELLY! I love her glad to see she’s making major moves!

    And hmmm. maybe i’ll watch celebrity apprentice! I love to see people doing good things!! keep it up guys!

    Hammer got a show? Well congrats to him too! He’s a slight throwback, but thats cool! Glad to see he’s back on the scene!

  13. ELIMINATE THE WORD "HATE" IN 09

    @ PFFFT

    NO YOU SHUT UP THAT DOESN’T MEAN THAT SHE DOESN’T HAVE A CAREER YOU MORON. SHE SOLD HALF A MILLION IN THE STATES AND A MILLION WORLD WIDE WITH HER LAST ALBUM.SHE HAS FANS TAHT ARE REALLY CHECKING FOR HER SO SHUT THE HELL UP. FREAKING IDIOT.

  14. *****

    MY GIRL CLAUDIA….SHE’S GOOD PEOPLE

  15. London chick

    This news is, dare I say…..old (by at least a week and a bit isnt it??)

  16. Jaesassy

    Reality shows ‘sigh’

  17. Jaesassy

    Reality shows ‘sigh’

  18. Harmony

    I know this is totally off subject but why does both Beyonce and Kelly Rowland look like they have on support hose???

  19. LittlePrincess

    Kelly needs to focus on finding any avenue to make money and create a career for herslef outside of Destinys Child/Beyonce. Hosting a show like the Xfactor would be a great way to go because she would build support in the UK. But the fashion show thing sounds bad, we already have TOP Model and Project Runnway, this new show probably won’t do well imo

    lmao at the above peopl squabbling like kids on an entertainment blog

  20. I’m shocked Brian McKnight will be on the Apprentice. I hate to say this but it’s usually ‘has been’ celebs that participate on the show, and I don’t classify him as such.

  21. ZO

  22. peacekeeper

    I agree with #9. Some folks are just in denial. Matthew was not the problem.
    Do we need another fashion reality show? Good luck with that.

    Also, I’m happy for Hammer. He should have been one of the first to get a reality show….I hope it works out for him. He is a positive guy.

    How can they have a celebrity apprentice w/o any celebs? All of those on the show are has-beens or never been celebs to begin with.

  23. datone

    looks like they finally noticed that putting blacks on shows increases ratings…

    @ 11… concreteloop doesn’t always post first bc they dont put every rumor out there as soon as it comes up and makes sure things are valid before they go advertising it to the world, that’s why I come back and don’t believe anything until i see it here… keep doing ya thang angel

  24. cali panamami (mas que nada)

    ROTFLMAO!!!

    i swear, i need to stop writing my screenplay and pitch an effin reality show. that’s where the money is. :(

  25. Tianna all this reality is making my head hurt. LOL I still wish somebody, anybody would create a good sitcom. This really makes me miss Living Single, Martin, etc…….SMH

  26. Jamie8706

    I didn’t know MC Hammer had 7 kids

  27. thundercat

    pits good to see hammer back on the air or back at it period. remember back in the day when he was on fire and doing alot of comericals and them playa hat’n people were, the envious the same blacks, that were calling hammer a sell-out for doing IV spots for kfc and pepsi etc. these same people you can’t keep they azz off the TV now hustling goods and services for the man. like richard pryor said for that “federal green”. if i was hammer i’d sue you ol turncoat house negros for defamation. and you know who you are. everytime you get on tv hawk’n just thank hammer.

  28. ann

    I never watched Celevrity Apprentice, but in the previews they didn’t show any of “us” in the commercials. Just Joan Rivers and her muppet mouth. I guess they were added last minute….

  29. ann

    #21. i agree, don’t know why Brian M., is on the show. I guess if your song doesn’t have a hook, ft. Lil Wayne or cause you to do the stanky leg, your music is irrelavent.

  30. RENAE

    A lot of ya’ll are saying these celebs are broke and geting on the show for that reason, but I read most of them are on the show for to support charities.

  31. shoppingdiva

    Project Runway is no longer on Bravo. The creater of the show and Bravo fell out. So Bravo has created “Fashon Show” to take its place. Good idea for Kelly, she need as much expose as she can get. With Isaac doing the show it should be a good quality program. I don’t want to see Kelly just doing “anything” but I think this project with BRAVO is definitely a step in the right direction. I’m rooting for her!

  32. BAM BANG

    I’m watching just to see T Boz. Thats my boo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I aint gone lie tho Claudia looking tight right too. YESSSSZZZZIIIRRRRR!!!!!
    Kelly needs to go harder with the music. She should have worked more with B to become a solid solo artist. But it is nature women will always be jealous of other women. Even their friends. I wish her well hopefully she will stick in television and movies. She is a fine peice of chocolate!!!!!! YUM!!!!!

  33. N.O. Finest

    I hope all goes well for Kels, that’s my girl and she needs it! I’ll be watchin

    Although I did not watch the firsth season of Celebrity Apprentice, I will maek an effort to watch this one because the amount of minority celebrities who will be present

    Get it Hammer! I’ll try to watch this show too; because if it’s anytime like his, “Must Be the Money” friend Deon Sanders, it will be fun, family-oriented, and enteratining

  34. N.O. Finest

    Deion*~ sorry

  35. post

    Hmm… Is it so, that when celebs do things for or give to charities, they can write it off in their taxes and get a check?

  36. Somer

    I am convinced that T-Boz will be like Ashford & Simpson. She will die with that simple ass 90′s hair do.

  37. Gee

    I love Isacc M. I will def watch the show!!

  38. I think Hammer should’ve got a reality show a long time ago…

    #36
    Not only celebs, that applies to anyone…. And you don’t “get a check” you qualify for tax deductions and benfits

  39. Bravo loves them some black people now! I think her and Isaac will have really good chemistry

  40. Audrey

    Say whatever you want about Kelly but I bet you will see a helluva lot more of her than you did when she was signed with matthew who only promotes Solange and Beyonce! Puhleease. If he can make no talent solange into beyonce’s sidekick then why not Kelly>??? Funny, he put Solange waanaabe having style azz up in the hair commercial for Loreal with Beyonce and even having her on Beyonce tour??? She’s no more talented than Kelly, why not push Kelly the same way?? Because he only cares about getting shine for those Knowles!! Look what happened to Michelle “Tenitra” and also Mario>>>???ummm, it is no surprise that he holds everyone else down except beyonce and solange so whatevs!
    Go Kelly, I have always been a fan and know you are going to get much more of the limelight now that you are out of the Knowles shadows, Brandy tried to help her years ago but she didn’t want to hear it, now she see’s it is time to move on and make her money

    She shouldn’t be put on the back burner and told to stay outta the way happily in London, missing out on her money here in the states. She is beautiful, has much better style than beyonce and that fashion show is a good look because Kelly has the model figure!!

  41. Ms. Julia

    Great news for Kelly and all her fans around the world. Can’t wait to see the show and the new video for UNITY off Ms. Kelly Diva Deluxe ! Love this song and always thought it should of been the first single released. Hearing it more and more on the radio … Go Kelly ;)

  42. Caramel Honey

    I wonder how Kells feels hearing Beyonce say she is “set for life financially” and that “she doesn’t have to work anymore she just does it for fun” lol
    WOW, Can Kells say the same thing? Nope because Matt Knowles did not do right by her career. That girl is gorgeous! She should be doing skin care lines, her skin is more flawless than beyaki! Her coloring is fabulous and her body is TIGHT. No kankles in sight. I hope she can finally get her paper!
    Good luck to Kelly, you are long overdue for solo success chicka!

  43. cre8me

    It’s time for T-Boz to change her hair. That’s no longer working for her…

  44. Greatestloveofall

    Love how some people on here are always complaining how CL are ‘late’ with their news :roll: At least Angel and Co wait till things are fully confirmed and don’t dwell on rumors like 95% of other black blogs (who are WACK and lie all the time).

  45. CLAUDIA JORDAN!!! I LOVE HER! She’s great on The Foxxhole!

  46. nunyah

    I’m only gonna watcxh it to see my T-BOZZZZ. LOVE HER!

  47. nunyah

    And for one her hairstyle is different (T-boz). Has she ever had that cut? no! Just the same COLOR. it’s simular to Rihanna’s cut, just blond, and longer in the front.

  48. blkmarilyn

    The show sounds exactly like Project Runway.

  49. Amber

    I love potty mouth CJ! She is so cute, but can be feisty. Everything else just looks boring. :( I don’t have time to watch television so I won’t be watching. But, good luck to Claudia.
