Over the weekend, I got the opportunity to kick it with the R&B Divas from what I know will be a great reality show, — because it is founded on a great cause. A premiere date has been set for TV One’s most anticipated series R&B Divas.
The series revolves around R&B singers Faith Evans, Nicci Gilbert, Monifah, Keke Wyatt and Syleena Johnson.
Set to premiere August 20, the show will
“follow them 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,”
reports TV One.
“It is their personal mission to help other women in need. If women can learn from their mistakes, it was all worth it.”
Nicci Gilbert said the series is “fearless” and plugged the fact that it will be balanced to empower not destroy.
The ladies who are participating in this reality show which I feel would’ve been one of the biggest comebacks of all time had it gone the way Whitney wanted it. Thats right Whitney Houston reportedly played a major role in creating the original layout of the show.
Had she still been alive this would have been the show she would have been apart of. The show R&B Divas will be filled with drama but with a positive side showing what these ladies actually go through.
The ladies came to the Essence Festival stage to talk about their lives and the ups and downs of the industry and are back to claim their throwns as some of the top R&B Divas. The show is set to air on TV ONE.
The ladies ran into Elise Neal who was backstage preparing to show the world her sexy side and meet and greet fans from all across the country. The ladies also came together in a private party to tell Nicci Gilbert Happy Birthday.
I know you all are going to love this show. These ladies have a lot of big things coming up but I’m not share so wait til it airs! Support the show and special thanks to TV ONE for showing me so much love. Check Out all the photos below: Read More »
Yall let me say this it seems like every time I come to New Orleans it is funny drama, and hell at first, mostly cause I don’t handle my business but I think this years trip tops them all… Just thankful I am here and a live. Last night Mary J. Blige, Charlie Wilson, D’Angelo and Aretha Franklin are just a few of the artists making their way to the Big Easy this weekend for the Essence Music Festival.
The New Orleans event is under way now, with organizers kicking things off Thursday with “Youth Day.”
Last night featured performances from Wilson and D’Angelo, (WOW he had a great show) as well as Trey Songz, Keyshia Cole and the Pointer Sisters.
On Saturday, Blige will top a bill that also includes Ledisi, Tank, Mary Mary and comedian Kevin Hart. Chaka Khan will close things out on Sunday, following performances from Aretha Franklin, Anthony Hamilton, Fantasia and Kirk Franklin.
Look at the lovely Stephanie Mills  photoed above is currently working a new album and is about to hit the road as she prepares for new up to date virgin of the play “WIZ”… P.S.
