Melanie and Derwin of BET “The Game” To Be Replaced By 2 New Characters?!?
… please say it aint so.. I was so sure that Tia and Pooch would pull a Brittany Daniels who was rumored to be just taking a break from the show and returning. I was ok with the idea of them leaving for season 6 and returning for season 7 but I am not sure I can deal with the idea that Melanie and Derwin will no longer exist… no guest appearances, no returns, WHAAAA!!!!! *Grabs inhaler… “I can’t breath”*

Ok Erica … relax.. say a prayer… its gonna be ok… Anyway….
Its being reporting that,
With Tia Mowry leaving the show, producers are looking for a new female actress to join the cast in the regular role of Kiera, a 20-year-old former child star who has been in the spotlight since she was five years old and starring on a “Cosby” style sitcom. According to the casting call, she’s bright and charming, but struggling into transitioning into a grown-up career.
Kiera isn’t the only newbie in town! Another series regular will be hired to play Bryce “The Blueprint” Westbook – a #1, Ivy League draft pick running back who breaks every “dumb athlete” stereotype. He’s not only got a Heisman Trophy, but he’s usually the smartest guy in the room — which sets his new teammates on edge.
I am one “The Game” fan that did not jump ship when the show came over to BET because I was just grateful to have it back! But this is getting to be to much.. At this point I would like John Singleton, Tyler Perry or Steve Harvey to step in and produce this story as movies once every two years and be done with it. Not really sure how successful the series will continue to be with such dramatic changes. Guess we will have to wait and see. Tell me what you think!

Oprah Winfrey Conducts An Interview With 50 Cent to air on OWN Network

Now im not going to say that Jay-Z has totally opened the door for all rappers but he has definitely opened Oprah’s eyes in some ways. On the upcoming episode of Oprah’s Next Chapter which airs on OWN she is having a sit down with Mr. I Get Money. 50 Cent will be sitting down with the talk show Queen and they are discussing everything from music culture, family, fatherhood, inspirations and more. Anybody who knows 50 knows that he made it no secret that he did not like Oprah. During a visit to The View he told the cast that he named his dog “Oprah Winfree” 50 Cents’s Bitch is the name of his pet Twitter page. Now if your wondering where this pot of beef is stewing from, it began way back in 2006 when “fiddy” accused Oprah of having a lack of diversity when it came to the guest on her show. The dislike grew much more when 50 heard that she supposedly had a rapper banned from her show. So 50 just knew it was because of her dislike for rap music. Well now the two have squashed the beef and are sitting down and chopping up some good news. This should be very interesting…
She gave a little insight on how she felt after conducting the two part interview which was held at 50 Cent’s grandmother house, this is what she posted to her facebook page…
In the car having just left Curtis Jackson aka 50 Cent. Gotta say, he was quite surprising. We talked for 2 hrs. You’ll see Part 1 this Sunday. Here are 5 things I learned from Fiddy:
1. He meditates regularly.
2. Received his mantra from Deepak Chopra, whose book he’s currently reading.
3. He was not allowed to use curse words in his grandmother’s house and still follows that rule.
4. A recent conversation with philanthropist Ray Chambers was life changing for him.
And my favorite….
5. He believes either pray or worry…no need for both.
Great conversation about rap culture, fatherhood, love, and life. He describes himself as two people - Curtis and 50 Cent - I was fascinated to hear his description of them both. Really glad I did it. Really liked him. Watch Next Chapter, Sunday 9/8c.

Erykah Badu Goes Off About Unauthorized Video Release
Now as Erykah has stated before in her song “Im a artist and im sensitive about my…” (yall know the rest). Well she has put truth behind those words because she has snapped on Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne for releasing an unedited version of the music video “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” the video reveals nudity and some not so nice and shocking imagery. The video was performed by Erykah, her little sister Nayrok and the band. Its seems as though not all is bad because Flaming Lips lead guitarist Wayne Coyne has released an apology via twitter stating…

To all the haters who think Erykah Badu has lost her mind!!! She has NOT!!! The Flaming Lips take full responsibility ..
For the making of and the content of the controversial video!!! We are very sorry if it has offended some of Erykah Badu’s more
Conservative audience! The video was intended for mature audiences and is NOT an Erykah Badu statement.. It is a Flaming Lips video!!!
Erykah retweeted his apology, but kindly took time to make sure he would never disrespect her or anybody elses artistry again and gave him the tell off of his career… check it out
@waynecoyne then… perhaps, next time u get an occasion to work with an artist who respects your mind/art, you should send at least a ROUGh version of the video u PLAN to release b4 u manipulate or compromise the artist’s brand by desperately releasing a poor excuse for shock and nudity that sends a convoluted message that passes as art( to some).
Even with Window Seat there was a method and thought process involved. I have not one need for publicity . I just love artistic dialogue . And just because an image is shocking does not make it art.
You obviously have a misconception of who I am artistically. I don’t mind that but…
By the way you are an ass.
Yu did everything wrong from the on set .
First:
You showed me a concept of beautiful tasteful imagery( by way of vid text messages) .
I trusted that. I was mistaken.
Then u release an unedited, unapproved version within the next few days.
That all spells 1 thing ,
Self Serving .
When asked what the concept
meant after u explained it , u replied ,”it doesn’t mean anything , I just want to make a great video that everyone is going to watch. “
I understood , because as an artist we all desire that. But we don’t all do it at another artist’s expense .
I attempted to resolve this respectfully by having conversations with u after the release but that too proved to be a poor excuse for art.
From jump,
You begged me to sit in a tub of that other shit and I said naw. I refused to sit in any liquid that was not water. But Out of RESPECT for you and the artist you ‘appear’ to be, I Didn’t wanna kill your concept , wanted u to at least get it out of your head . After all, u spent your dough on studio , trip to Dallas etc.. Sooo, I invited Nayrok , my lil sis and artist, who is much more liberal ,to be subject of those other disturbing (to me ) scenes . I told u from jump that I believed your concept to be disturbing. But would give your edit a chance.
You then said u would take my shots ( in clear water/ fully covered parts -seemed harmless enough) and Nayrok’s part ( which I was not present for but saw the photos and a sample scene of cornstarch dripping ) and edit them together along with cosmic, green screen images ( which no one saw) then would show me the edit. .
Instead, U disrespected me by releasing pics and rough vid on the internet without my approval. (Contract breech )
That is equivalent to putting out a security camera’s images of me changing in the fitting room.
I never would have approved that tasteless, meaningless, shock motivated video .
Our art is a reflection of who we are . I have no connection to those images shot in their raw version. I was interested in seeing an amazing edit that would perhaps change or alter my thoughts . Never happened .
You also did the same thing with the song itself which displays crappy “rough “vocals by me . I let it go , perhaps iiiii was missing something, I thought.
I Should have followed my first mind back in studio when recording the vocals “your way”.
( Red flag.) It was uncomfortable.
For that I am at fault .
Consequently, brother, As a human I am disgusted with your what appears to be desperation and poor execution. And disregard for others . As a director I am unimpressed . As a sociologist I understand your type. As your fellow artist I am uninspired. As a woman I feel violated and underestimated.
Hope it works out for ya ,Wayne.
Really i could give a shit less.
Still love your live show tho.
And , you’re welcomed.
Lesson learned .
By the way I have guested in very few videos. But I have always been given the opportunity to see the edit and contribute to it when my roll is substantial. Not this time .
I guess u feel it better to apologize than ask for permission and be refused . Hey, Love u man, but your ways are not very nice .
O, And on behalf of all the artists u have manipulated or plan to manipulate, find another way .
These things have been said out of necessity.
And if you don’t like it
you can KiSS MY Glittery ASS .
O and Nayrok told me to tell u to kiss her ass too .
Almost forgot.
PeaceMs. Badu
