Ladies of R&B Picked up by TV One


Last October r&b singer Syleena Johnson broke the news that a bunch of your unsung favorites were getting together for a new reality show called Diary of a Diva [click here if you missed that].

Names attached to the project at the time included Angie Stone, Tweet, LeLee from SWV, Syleena Johnson, Faith Evans, Monifah, KeKe Wyatt and the show's producer, Brownstone original member Nicci Gilbert.

Now that the series has been officially picked up the cast has been whittled down considerably...

Now called 'The Ladies of R&B', the show will feature Faith Evans, Nicci Gilbert, Keke Wyatt, Monifah Carter and Syleena Johnson.

TVOne says,
'The Ladies of R&B' will follow the women solo, together and in different combinations as they not only fight to get their lives on track but also to pay their good fortune forward. Divorce, parenting, drugs and alcohol, physical abuse and more - these ladies have survived it all and continue to deal with life's battles each day,
The Ladies of R&B premiers in 3rd quarter 2012.

I actually want to watch this one. Women with talent, careers, and interesting back stories. UNlike basketball hoes, where their talent is guszzling athletes cum and the real housewives, where their talent is being married.

Nicci was in Meet the Browns play and in a press junket, Tyler Perry even said that in code that he will never deal with Nicci again.

The camera focused on her and he keeps using the same folks over and over again in movies and plays. Unlike Lynn Whitfield or Shemar Moore, she doesn't work much so there may be some truth to it.

ugh; I won't be watching, though I love these ladies. sorry don't care the who or the what, reality tv i will never do . . . when you look at who is behind them and the images perpetrated? No thanks; I'd rather my favorite artist in a concert; don't care about your personal business; I got struggles of my own!
