PARTIES: BET’S HARLEM HEIGHTS PREMIERE PARTY
Tuesday, March 3, 2009

Cast members Ashlie, Briana, Brooke and Bridget pose together at the premiere of BET’s “Harlem Heights” premiere party, which was held at The Apollo Theatre last night.
The reality show, which premiered last night, documents the lives of eight diverse 20-somethings, all of whom are recently out of college and looking to succeed in New York’s historic Harlem neighborhood. Perhaps the most popular cast member would be Brooke Crittendon - the exgirlfriend of Kanye West.

Brooke is sexy! I see she is showing some nipple in the last 2 pics lmao
I never knew that was Kanye’s ex-girlfriend; Harlem Heights sounds like a lame black version of the Hills.

The makeup is dreadful! But I guess its good that there doing a show about ambitious 20 somethings.
Kanye does know how to pick doesn’t he (SMH). Its sad that Brooke’s claim to success is being his ex, what does she actually do for a living?

Tried to watch the show in between turning back and forth to Ray J (guilty pleasure) and I’m sorry it was lame. Nice try but no cigar. Even the parts that were aimed at being uplifting i.e. father with son, the young dad with his daughter- they were boring and the “acting”/ scenarios were horrible and way too contrived.

Not Feelin Brooke’s outfit, she’s a pretty girl tho (no homo)..when did she date Mr. West??
The show seems a lil scripted (like all the reality tv shows) but it’s nice to see beautiful young moguls in the making!
Everyone Looks Nice!

I tried to watch it, but it just came off too scripted. ITo be honest BET needs some way better shows, instead of ripping off mtv with every little show. Be creative and stop buying all these old shows. Its nice too see a group of young african-american people do good, but it was boring. I pass, I’d rather watch ray-j kick a groupie off, than this mockery.

The show was kind of wack… it just screams SCRIPTED!
But I like the fact that the crew are in their mid 20s, educated, and holding down careers. Reminds me so much of me and my homegirls

Wow I know Kanye is some where kicking his self for breaking up with Brooke…Who broke up with who by the way? I’ve liked her since I read the article of her on the Vibe Vixen (her story is very interesting), as a young attorney I admire her self confident If you don’t think you’re the ISH who else will?
I watched the show and did not hear her mention Kanye by name at all (and only mentioned maybe once or twice by reference) it was the other girl that she has beef with that mentioned Kanye West every two minutes.
I like the full cast I think all the guys are good looking with the exception of the one who was on there with his father.
Oh and I wasn’t mad Brooke told off those ghetto-a$$ flousy on lipstick alley website…Everyone assumed that Kanye broke up with her because of that because he mentioned it in a song…if indeed he broke up with her because of that…then the relationship wasn’t that strong and wouldn’t have lasted anyway.
Ok I said my two cents.
Back to work lol!

Brooke and Bridget look incredible here! hope their personalities are just as beautiful as they way they dress. Even tho she doesn’t seem classy, Amber Rose is a very beautiful as well…minus the cigarettes.
I’ll try the show once, even though I HATE what BET has become over the last 15 years and i’m a DEFINITE TVOne fan now.. But i’m a 20-something trying to come up in life too, so i understand.
Good luck all in your endeavors.

I think Brooke & Ashlie are FLY ( I don’t think it’s fair 2 be giving Brooke ALL THE SHINE ALREADY)
Jason is my type of GUY! Mmmm (Jason if ur reading this holla @ my myspace)
There are 2 LAME DUES in the show 1 dark skin and light ones who’s ALWAYS wearing the suits.
The show was AAGGHIIT hopefully it gets better.

I actually watched the premier yesterday and that had to be the worst “reality” show I’ve ever seen in my life! It looked so staged and unnatural. I was very confused with how the cast originally came together and how they all knew each other. I felt like the production and editing could’ve been executed better. It just looked as if they were jumping from scene to scene and there was no real transition or plot. Maybe I am looking into it too much, maybe I’m not. Needless to say I was very disappointed. It’s a terrible rip off of the hills and the city (all MTV shows). In short, the premier sucked! lol.

The girls are cute but I’d like to see how they look without all the make up. Natural beauty is much better than only looking bad when you’re all made up.
I thought the show was okay. I did find myself day dreaming during a few scenes and in my opinion the show seemed scripted.

Thse ladies are rocking way too much makeup, I like the concept of the show I watching it last night, Brooke needs to pump her brakes. Jason is a cutie, he looks like a good father with his daughter, so cute.

I actually liked it. It’s like the City meets ummm… Harlem buppies? lol idk.
But like The City, it gets a little dry in moments throughout the show, but I’ll reserve judgment until I watch later episodes.
I’m an ivy league senior about to start my actual adult life come the summer, so it was sort of cool seeing black 20 somethings do there thing and look good while doing it.
…waiting for more episodes…

omg. so i do remember when kanye was dating brooke (http://www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra/tx/gallery/media/getty_kanye_405.jpg).
She looks so much better now. When they were dating, I used to think “hmph she’s all right i guess,” but its amazing what a cute cut and an upgraded clothing style can do for a girl.
I guess Kanye had an effect on her because she looks better post Kanye lol.

Briana went to my highschool for a while in Seattle. I’m a friendly person and I remember seeing her in the halls every now and then. Usually when I make eye contact with someone I try and smile or be somewhat pleasant. She had a stank attitude. I remember bumping into her in the halls a few times and on occasion flashing a smile and she always had the most stank, “I think I’m the shit!” look. I always remembered her for having such a horrible attitude. Hopefully this show doesn’t make her think she’s the shit and up the stankiness.
However I will say I give props to ALL of the cast for getting their young black and professional on! Keep it up guys. We need more images like you all on television. Muchluck and success to ya!

UGH! another boogey white wanna-be show. Im sorry im not B.E.T fan at all.
They jock mostly all of MTV shows which are staged for a white audience….NOT ALOT of black people can relate to watchin shows like this or that fake azz Baldwin Hills show.
We need more shows thats dedicated to whats really going in the REALITY OF BLACKS IN THIS WORLD. NOT BLACKS LIVIN like boogey white folks from beverly hills and sh!t. because most blacks are not as interested in that type of scene anyway.

@13, Brooke actually does have a job…a pretty good one.
She’s a producer for MTV’s True Life.
I think the concept of the show is dope. Yeah the first two episodes were dry, but hopefully it will pick up next week with some drama.

OK
i’m glad there is a show about ambitious young professionals but after the bet game show “take the cake” i was insulted. I wish they will do a reality show on real individuals with normal everyday lives and real communities. It will definetly not bore anyone and show individuals through the journeys of relationships, life, & families. I hate just relying only on sitcoms to say “that happens for real”. That’s why we liked Girlfriends, The Game, Living Single, One on One, All of Us, and etc……………..

I havent watched the show yet but I miss College Hill…..besides 106 (only when sum1 I like is on the show) or their annual specials (rip the runway, BET awards) C.H. is the only other interesting show on BET……I mean I was floored when they got rid of Black Carpet (our version of entertainment tonight)…..& if i want some corny laughs I’ll watch their new show where celebs “punk” their fans but other than that BET wack…..if this show was done in a more REAL format like College Hill/Real World then people probably wouldnt compare it so much to the Hills (which is STILL a good watch)…..Baldwin Hills sucks monkey balls & if the reviews is any indication of how its gonna be, I more than likely wont be watching……I DO however commend them for having a series showcasing young black adults doing positive things….Maybe if they had a show highlighting different industries and careers and young black people working in them, in the form of a “week in the life of…” type of thing it would be tight….It would bring to like potential jobs that high schoolers could look into that dont neccessarily get talked about and it could show the world that not all black ppl sit on their ass….

Is it me or does anyone care that Brooke is kanye’s ex?…… I watched the show and I liked Brooke, but now everyone is bring up the fact that she used to be with Kanye… even her. NOBODY CARES!!!! DOn’t talk about it and nobody would think about it .
I also liked that whole show in general. Finally something I (being 22 )can relate to.

clearly bet needs to just bring back college hill..cause thats the only show that kept their ratings up..and i love baldwin hills..but this just sucks..they really have ripped off so many of mtv shows that i dont watch it cause its not original nor better than the shows they steal..they only thing that bet had original was uncut..and they cancelled that,.

BOOO to the show…it was BORING. and i lost interest in college Hill after they clowned London..that was not a good representation of BLACK london. look at the wack, non black clubs they took them to and the sh*tty restaurants they ate at.
I read alot of negative stuff about Brooke prior to the show. and i was a member of the infamous gossip site which apparently played a part in the ending of hers and Kanye’s relationsip (her rant on myspace was in response to all the negative stuff said about her from members on the site).. It got very heated lol.
But i quite like her..she seems aiight to me! And she was making something of herself in the entertainment industry (no, not as a model, or singer etc) before she met Kanye.

The show was booring, but I’m going to give it another chance.
Though they are all beautiful young ladies…the look GREASY as ever and looks like their make up was done by a Mac sales girl in training. Not cute.
Ladies…it’s okay to wear tinted moisturizer and blush and mascara…it’s not necessary to OVER do it!

I watched the show last night and to be honest I was really looking forward to seeing it. However, it seemed wayyyyyyy too scripted and not really too real. I will continue checking the future episodes to see if it may be a slight change. As for now I’m sitting on the fence. Aside from that, it’s good to see young black brotha’s and sista’s making moves!
