Check out the promo images & info from the newest batch of VH1 reality series, “Brandy and Ray J: A Family Business,” “Basketball Wives,” and “What Chilli Wants”. They will all premiere on Sunday, April 11. Keep reading for more info.
1. FAMILY BUSINESS
After 2 successful seasons of “For The Love of Ray J”, singer/TV personality, Ray J is back with a new series on VH1 and this time he is bringing the whole family along.
The show, entitled “Family Business” will also co-star accomplished singer/actress Brandy and their parents – entertainment manager and mom, Sonja and musical father, Willie Norwood. I might check that out.
2. BASKETBALL WIVES
Up next we have Shaq’s estranged wife Shaunie O’Neal and her upcoming reality series, “Basketball Wives.” The series will center around the lives of seven women who are best friends and either the wife, ex-wife or girlfriend of an NBA superstar. Um, why is the title Basketball Wives then?
3. WHAT CHILLI WANTS
And last but not least we have Chilli and her upcoming dating show “What Chilli Wants”. Her friends say she is single because her “Chilli’s Checklist,” a catalog of standards and traits any potential dating prospect must meet, is too high and unrealistic.
Enter relationship expert Tionna Smalls. She will help find a match for Chilli. If she doesn’t, there is always season two… right?
VH1 shitting out these shows like they got diarrhea! I will be watching Chilli’s show though. Still on the fence about the others.
As much as I love Shaunie, Im sorry to say that “Basketball Wives” looks like its gonna be some str8 up superficial, unrealistic, bullsh*t!
And Chilli’s checklist is prolly top notch lol. I dont blame her! As a successful woman myself, I refuse to settle for anything less than what I can bring to the table as well.
lmao@ 1…exactly…these m-fks got loot to cash out on all these DUMB A** IRRELEVENT SHOWS FOR PPL WITH NO LIVES TO SIT ON THEY LAZY A** AND WATCH OTHER PPL DOIN DUMB ISH OR LIVIN A LIFE THEY WISH THEY HAD??? i dunno…but damn as many poor sick and homeless ppl there is in this world it amazes me how MOST cant find other RELEVENT SH*T to do with time and money. smh.

I’ll probably watch the last 2. The 1st one idk.
AAHHHH! REALITY SHOW OVERLOADDD!!! LOL smh. I’m saying this now but I will be watching all of these shows on the 11th. HA HA!
I am going to watch “Basketball Wives” just to see what Royce Reed has to say about Dwight Howard and all the times they have to go to court.
I wonder how many of them are actually still with their husbands.
i guess i’ll check them out..
The same ppl that comment negatively are the same ppl that watch these shows…can we see the first episode b4 we judge? thats wats wrong w ppl now..always downplaying ppl…and they black too shouldnt we support them its not like any other stations promote black entertainment besides BET anyways! sheesh smh…aint nobody sayin nothin about that Jessica Simpson show i bet “The price Of Beauty”..but we get some African Americas Tryna Do Sumthin And Yet We Talk Shit About Them..I Guess Yall Would Rather it be like it was back in the day when African Americans were rarely Shown…or played the white girls bestie..go sit down n watch tv
This post will turn into a woman bashing sesion Im sure .
all the shows will tank basketball wives half of them arent wives and the ones who are are married to rejects there life is not worth watching the norwoods will try to act all perfect which will be boring and lame because they clearly have issues and chilli is superficial and dull im not interested in her dating experience it will be as lame as pepa dating show
VH1 and BET are the channels to go to if you want to see how much the white man permits the black woman to worship herself. America is like a big day care center and these sisters have degenerated into infants, because they are allowed to throw all types of tantrums with no repercussions for their buffoonery. In all honesty, the black woman is the laughingstock of television and they don’t realize that because they’re so elated to get attention from anyone, anyhow, anywhere lol. I see that this show “Basketcase Wives” has no white women on it, but if one were to listen to the rants of the average angry, lonely black woman, all famous black athletes marry women of the other races. The show with the has-been from TLC is interesting only because it’s a microcosm of the average 40 year old black woman in America; a woman that has overplayed her hand and sees that there is very little sand left in the hourglass so she is more desperate than usual lol. All those black women with a grocery list worth of requirements are usually the ones that can’t boil water, have no wifely skills, and have a personality that repulses and repels better than an exterminator.
Im looking forward to Chili’s show…I MIGHT watch basketball wives…..def gonna skip Brandy and Ray J show…..both of them r super lame and super played….
The only show out of these 3 that look even slightly interesting to me would be basketball wives, and I doubt I’m watching that ish anyway… Epic Fail for VH1, NEXT!
Will most def B watching Brandy’s show cant wait 2 see her n da studio:)
i dont know about these shows, i doubt that i’ll watch them but they’ll get decent ratings if there are enough people in the world like me who’s TV’s are always on VH1! i wake up in the middle of the night and watch the videos until i go back to sleep so i usually turn it on around 10, put it on mute, listen to music and do homework… when i wake up something called nocturnal state (i think) is always on and they play really good videos, old and new!
now that i’m completely of topic…i’ll submit!
Im so sick of this bruh
Everybody and they maw getting shows now a days.
Shaunie and Shaq is officially divorced now. I was never hot for being a couch potato. I,m not gonna b now. Especially for somebody,s dose and take on reality. I hardly care who they are.
omgosh!!!
Dayum…more “Fake Reality T.V??..
WTF!!
Its always a good thang when black people hate!
NICE!!!!
DID YALL SEE LADY GAGA’S RECENT INTERNATIONAL INTERVIEW WHERE SHE SAYS OTHER DREAM FEMALE COLLABORATIONS INCLUDE CIARA AND NELLY FURTADO?????? THIS IS MAJOR!
CONFIRMED VIA (SINCERELY CIARA)
PLEASE POST THIS ANGEL!!!
Pass on all three. All the “wives” look like rejects from Flavor of Love or For the Love of Ray J. smdh
how is royce reed even on the show? If I’m correct she can’t even think his name!
Howard won a permanent injunction against Reed. She’s been banned from “using or publishing (orally, in writing, or otherwise), directly, indirectly or by innuendo, [Dwight's] name, nicknames, image, brand photographs, and/or likeness.”
why?…why?…and why?
i can’t wait until we get back to sitcoms. i’m sick of all this fake “reality”. it’s been done so much now, it’s all a script following what the next show did.
will the real celebrities please stand up!
VH1 is becoming a whole bunch of FOOLERY!!!!
I DONT KNOW WHY CHILLI IS MAKING A FOOL OUT OF HER SELF ON TV SHE READY PICK A GUY AND SHE IS VERY HAPPY WITH THE GUY AND HE HAVE TWO KIDS AND SHE AREADY SAW THEM AND SHE WILL HAVE A CHILD WITH HIM AND ITS GOING TO BE A GIRL FOR BORTH BEFORE THAT HAPPEND TCHILLI WILL BE GETTING MARRYED TO HIM THEN HAVE HIS BAY GIRL THA HE ALWAYS WANTED AM SURE SHE WILL BE CUTE BECOUSE THEY A BORTH A CUTE COUPLE AND THAY MET TO ME TOGETHER IN THE FRIST PLACE AND AM SURE THAT HIS MOTHER WILL BE AT THERE WEDDING .
I will watch but aint none of this reality,just entertaining! Its not reality to find a man/love on national tv..she can do that walking down the street or going to walmart or lowe’s cause yall know whoever they end up with they never stay with lol,always a season 2, im jus saying, #2, Ray J and B-rocka show is a spin-off from his show. They arent the only family in show business if thats the case(The Knowles, the Wayans etc needs a show too) and #3 hmmm i wonder what will Shaunie and her bball friends/wives will have to talk about? Airing dirty laundry I guess…lol They should change the name to Entertaining Shows in stead of Reality! I thought VH1 could do better..hell gimme a show!LMBO By the way arent these show scripted? IDK
I’M AN SOOOOO NOT WATCHING ANY OF THE GARBAGE THAT RAY J PUTS OUT ON TV (not that I ever really did) SINCE HE CALLED THAT GIRL(Cocktail) A BITCH ON HIS REUNION SHOW! He has repeatedly proven just how classless and tacky a negro can be and his family, including Brandy (I hate her new nose job, btw) only enable his disgusting behavior. Karma kicked his ass since the Kardashians now have more money than him and Brandy COMBINED! LOL!
Everyone that took the time to type 5 paragraphs of why they are not watching, and how everyone gets a reality show, Is the same ones tuning in making all these reality shows #1.. Why judge something when you haven’t even seen it? Regardless these Beautiful black people are entertaining, they are working while you people sit on blogs and tear them down, Don’t blame them for the epic fail of television. Out with the old in with the new, no one is putting a gun to your head telling you to watch it.
So save the dramatics for stuff you do care for and want to see, I for one wont judge until i see for myself, even so Reality TV is way more popular then most sitcoms in recent years… so tell me you people aren’t watching? LOL
I’ll be watching all three, going to be a great Sunday night!
LIS, brandy doesnt have a new nose. SO GET THOSE EYES CHECKED
This is getting to be ridiculous but i must say chilli show actually has me interested i will tune in to see what its about..the NBA wives migh take a peek..but rayj and brandy family messs no way sirree will i watch that fakeness, rayj is a lame cunt always has been always will be, im surprised though at brandy and the mama enabling this disrespect and turning the other way i guess money and trying to stay afloat in the biz will drive u to put up with anything…this is another failed attempt for rayj to get some shine and brandy back in the spotlight by whatever means necessary even if its selling your soul!
Ima watch regardless! I dont give a dam! Its entertaining. Te each its own!
LMAO @ REALITY CHEF ‘….if I’m correct she can’t even think his name’.
hell hath no fury…
is it me or do all these women look a like? To all my pro athletes and their pursuit for ” perfect wife”..the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome…make wise choices and you wont have all these divorces untill then i’ll continue to be entertained by your stupidity..don’t think i’ll be watching the show..not sure what will be the point of what it,…im definitely not trying to gain some new insight about relationships from them.
Dont need to watch the Chilli show either..about matchmaking…i already watch the millionaires club…if you live in Atl there’s enough entertainment here just watching single black professional women, trying to find a man and their crazy pursuits…
Wow alot of hate on this post not suprised though! Im checking in to Brandy and Ray J show only cuz Brandy is on it and this show will give some in sight to where she is going musically for da next album and gives fans a true visual of her personalty hope the show does well she desrves it. I might check Chilli’s to even though her show doesnt seem like something she would do.
BASKETBALL BUMS !!!! WHY DO BLACK WOMEN CONTINUE TO DEGRADE THEMSELVES . WELL BIG UPS TO SHAUNIE PIMP THEM HOES AND GET YO MON$Y .
hmmmm i will only be watching ‘Basketball Wives’. lol i was thinking the same thing too, most of those women aren’t even wives so wth?
Ray J sits to shut the hell up and sit the f#ck down! smh he is corny and wack as hell
Brandy? What ever happened to your music career boo?
As for Chili, i’ll pass! She will NEVER find love by looking so damn hard
Can’t wait to check out the Family Business show, basically for Brandy.
I will be watching Basketball wives but I refuse to watch Chilli find a man. lol. Y’all already know they are going to pull it into her havin 2-3 seasons only to find out she never found love lol. I’m up in the air about the Ray-j/ Brandy show….. did Brandy officially quit music?
i only want to see how the inside of there house look i could care less about these shows
Will pass on all three. I agree with Judah and MSKNOWITALL!!!!
I’ll watch Brandy’s show. It looks like Moesha 2010 and I loved that show! Everything thing else you can throw to the wolves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dang, everyone has a reality show now. They are just giving slots away now. The Norwoods look dirty and desperate. Basketball wives is just as ghetto as Real Housewives of Atlanta, I imagine, as most of them are athletes wives. Chilli, no one cares about you. You were always ignored and never remembered when you were in that wack group TLC and tried your hand as a cougar but let lil ole femme Usher play you out for the whole world to see. Chilli is a loser. They all are but Chilli takes the cake. Isn’t she a mother? Still acting like a giddy single high school student going on her first date.
O and get rid of those baby hairs.
Also, why is Brandy’s as.s not sitting up in jail?
I give props to Shaunie for putting together a show, but I’d rather just watch her and not these no name broads.
How is Ray J gonna go from hoein’on tv to a fam show?wtf ever lol.
Chilli..nah the dating show is played out so I’ll skip that one also.
I’ll watch the basketball wives in ex long as they keep it 100. Maybe they can get superhead or spearhead on there whatever her name is she like to keep shit going basketball wife or not. LMAO
Sadly, My boyfriend and I broke up a month ago. yeah.. i’m young ,beautiful,lonely and still hurting.i need someone to love ….My friends told me about A_g_e_m_i_n_g_l_e @ c.//o.//m and i got curious about it.. they met their boyfriends there.,It is said that it’s the best place to meet a older boyfriend or a younger girlfriend. .So i got a username AnnaBaby there in order to find a new boyfriend. is it wrong?
The wifes look a hot mess, especially the two to the right, they look like ex strippers or something.
From Royce to the Evelyn lady they all look cool, including Shaunie. But the one with them hooker boots, the raggedy one with the blue shoes and the one with that hideous split in her dress, they look like hookers in Compton. Are you sure they are NBA wives??lol
Where is Brandi Garnette, Vanessa Bryant, Gabrielle Union, Derrick Fisher wife , Allen Iverson wife and Chris Paul chick.. I see they got Shaunie but where are the rest of the woman who look like wives and not strippers from Compton?
Reality TV sucks…who wants to watch Ray J after what he did Ms. Berry & the scorn basketball hoes need to go away. Chilli’s show might be OK. I hope she gets back with Usher. Michael Vick Project is EXCELLENT! Toya & Tiny is OK 2. Toya is so damn sexy. WOW! But, Ghetto Love & Crazy Ass Muthaflocka need to stay off TV. We got Barack & Michelle now so we need to elevate our minds so we move forward.
Brandy and Ray J’s show looks like its gonna be extra goood cause when they get together its a wrap!! Chilli’s seems like it wil be good too. people from the 90′s Bringin it back, we get to see what they up 2!! im ready!
i guess to be a basketball wife you have to look like a hooker
ooh I bet BET and possibly TVOne are maaaad…Vh1′s bringing the black but not totally coony…p.s. don’t nobody care about Chilli (or T-Boz) and Angel has a good point regarding the title of the show, LOL…Brandy’s hair looks good in the promo pic.
Judah clearly doesn’t prefer women…and how did Chilli over play her hand with tired ass Usher? The Black community is ONE community so if the women are the biggest laughing stocks of television then so is the Black man–it’s called unity, you need to brush up on your Kwanzaa principles…it’s divisive thinking like yours that has led OUR community down this road.
The saddest case out of all these shows is Brandy. She actually has the talent to be a working celeb. She can sing and she is a plausible actress. the fact that she has to go this route speaks to how bad it is for black women in Hollywood. but i will not knock black folks tryna get paid. if vh1 and bet are willing to pay them, i say stack them chips.
i saw a preview of chillis show on youtube it is not like flavor of love type stuff. it seems like an interesting show its more like pepa show meets mtv’s show diary to me. i’ll watch ray j new show just to see brandy i dont like him though. i may peep shaunie show to see the format. seems like good tv for vh1 in april
omg i cant wait to see Brandy in the studio!! YaS
Brandy gave a 5th grade pose as if she was taking a pic on the schoolyard back in the day. LOL!
Looking forward to seeing what the basketball wives are all about. Oh and Shaunie is a very nice, down to earth, cool woman with CLASS—throughout all the BS that may be surrounding her life right now she’s still holding her own.
Chilli’s show will be interesting even though I don’t like how my girl is having a dating show since its kinda played out in my opinion. But I gotta see how she handles Miss Smalls after she disrespects her, and the table they sat at while having a simple conversation. She was too extra with all the dramatics…really puttin’ on for the cameras I guess.
However, I’ll be tuning in to watch all of the shows once they premiere.
I will probably check them out but no guarantees.
