EVENT PICS: BET’S NEW YORK UPFRONT
Friday, April 24, 2009

Singers Monica and Maxwell pose for a photo backstage during the BET Networks’ 2009 Upfront media presentation, where they announced 4 brand new shows in addition to a new entertainment and music channel called CENTRIC.
The presentation, held at the Nokia Theatre on New York Thursday night, featured special appearances by Mary J. Blige, Chilli, MC Lyte and more.
Monica will be starring in her own reality show on the network, entitled, ‘Monica: Still Standing’ and told me it is set to air sometime in October. According to several announcements, Mo’Nique will have her own nightly talk/variety show. More pics below…

Good event. Why does Tocarra have on sunglasses though at the Upfront? It’s an Ad Sales presentation for potential advertisers, not the club! C’mon, Yall…
