Must See TV: ‘The Real Husbands of Hollywood’ and ‘Second Generation Wayans’

January 15, 2013

Last night I wish I could’ve been at two places at one time!

BET Networks hosted a red carpet and press screening of two of its new original series, “The Real Husbands of Hollywood” and “Second Generation Wayans” here in New York City. However, I decided to check out a beauty event hosted by Burt’s Bees (more on that later this week) instead of catching the new shows.

Although I didn’t get a chance to attend the screening, I am looking forward to viewing both premieres tonight!

Here’s the lowdown on both shows:

“The Real Househusbands” is a semi-scripted show based on a skit that first premiered during the 2011 BET Awards. A spoof of the “Real Housewives” reality show franchise, comedian and producer Kevin Hart stars in the sure-to-be hilarious series along with co-stars Nick Cannon, Boris Kodjoe, Duane Martin, Robin Thicke and J.B Smoove.

From L to R: Cast members Nick Cannon, J.B. Smoove, Kevin Hart and Boris Kodjoe star in “The Real Househusbands of Hollywood,“ premiering Jan. 15, 10 p.m EST.

“Second Generation Wayans” is a completely scripted comedy series featuring Damien Dante Wayans, Craig Wayans, George O. Gore and Tatyana Ali. The show takes viewers on a fictional ride of what it’s like for the characters to make it in Hollywood having a famous last name.

MUSIC: Destiny’s Child To Release New Music

January 10, 2013

Destiny’s Child, is gearing up for a comeback!

Well not exactly, but the R&B trio is set to release new music. On Thursday DC frontwoman, Beyoncé, took to Facebook to announce to fans that she along with bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams will be releasing a new Destiny’s Child compilation album, titled Love Songs, which will feature their new Pharrell-produced single “Nuclear.”

Love Songs is available for pre-order here; $$10

“I am so proud to announce the first original Destiny’s Child music in eight years!” Beyoncé wrote along with a photo of the album cover, which will be released January 29.

While the entire album will be new to fans, it will include old material that was recorded between 1997 to 2004, but was never released. It will also feature three songs that were quite popular for the group: “Emotion,” “Say My Name,” and “Cater 2 U.”

I’ve been a Destiny’s Child fan since my teen years so I’m excited to hear some new music from the trio!

Are you looking forward to hearing songs from “Love Songs?” Who’s your favorite girl-group of all time?

Sneak Peek: Beyoncé’s HBO Documentary Special

December 4, 2012

I’m an unapologetic Beyoncé fan. Needless to say, I’ll be tuning in to her upcoming documentary on HBO; even if that means ordering the premium cable channel just to see the special!

Premiering February 16, the film (directed by the singer) will treat viewers to a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the mega-superstar and mom’s rise to fame to her current seemingly nearly-perfect life.

In the less-than-30-second clip, she shows off her baby bump, hugs her hubby, Jay-Z, and rocks it out onstage. If the teaser is any indication of what fans can expect, it’s going to be a great film!

“Everybody knows Beyoncé’s music, but few know Beyoncé the person,” Michael Lombardo, president of HBO programming tells PEOPLE. “Along with electrifying footage of Beyoncé onstage, this unique special looks beyond the glamour to reveal a vibrant, vulnerable, unforgettable woman.”

Take a peek of the documentary below:
