TRACEE ELLIS ROSS of 'Girlfriends' and 'Reed Between The Lines' Does A Moving Photo Shoot! U Must See...

I LOVE THIS!!!

So interesting to see a moving photo shoot (multiple pics together to make moving images). By the way, Tracee Ellis Ross is firing up the BET network with her re-runs of 'Girlfriends' and her new show 'Reed Between the Lines'. Now she's doing more in this photo shoot for Uptown Magazine.

Tracee is seen wearing these nice and short coveralls with Isabel Marant sneakers (has a concealed pump inside). She also sports this natural but gorgeously-styled, thick red hair; it's messy, funny, just a ball of fun!

Boy, do I love this moving photo shoot :-)

What do you think of the YSL heels as well as Brandy's 'THE GAME' performance?

Keith Sweat to Release New Single and New Album to Follow

We tend to reach deep into history when we speak of our "legends,"

but almost halfway through 2010, we can't ignore that the 1980s & '90s birthed a slew of talent who went on to inspire a next generation.

Keith Sweat can easily be categorized as a R&B laurel, who, along with Teddy Riley, made New Jack Swing a resolute movement.

After churning out the hits and releasing six platinum-selling albums from 1987 to 1998,

Sweat moved aside in the new millennium to make way for the new school. But now the 48-year-old is back with a full plate of goodies, including his new 'Ridin' Solo' album, which hits stores today.

"I'm trying to add to the catalog," Sweat told The BiggaBreakfast, while insisting that 'Ridin' Solo' isn't a major departure from what his hardcore fans expect.

When The BiggaBreakfast chopped it up with Sweat there was no elephant in the room. The singer is well aware that his latest project is a reintroduction of sorts. "I feel a real resurgence right now. Sometimes you have to reinvent yourself in all areas," Sweat explains.

A new look at Dru Hill reality show coming to BET this summer.

Sweat isn't just talking about himself when it comes to "reinvention." Aside from releasing a new album, the singer/producer is debuting a reality series. On 'Keith Sweat's Platinum House' -- premiering June 28 on Centric -- Sweat will offer support to R&B group Dru Hill as they attempt to revive their fledgling career.

"We have our favorite acts like SWV, New Edition we all grew up listening to them and they have a wide fan base, [but] those veteran groups are not in radio demographics. So you don't hear about them as much and then they end up falling in to adult contemporary, which has the 18-34 mainstream missing out because, radio is so concerned about whatever song is hot now and they feel that these artist are not relevant," the singer explains.

With his own radio show on WBLS, Sweat knows what he's talking about. As the host of the station's 'Quiet Storm' program, currently dubbed 'Sweat Hotel,' the he knows exactly how the industry works and he's using his new projects to bridge the gap. "My TV show and radio program can connect the fans back with these artists, find out what they're doing and keep them relevant," Sweat said.

As for his new project, 'Ridin' Solo,' and Dru Hill's first album in eight years, 'Indrupendence Day,' Sweat wholeheartedly believes in resurrecting a career via good music. "People may say you're over in the game," Sweat admits. "...but you are neverover until there's no breath in your body."

BET's "The Game" Reportedly 'The Best Move The Network Ever Made'

After a mixed feeling about BET's 'The Game' premiere episode on January 11, 2011, people have warmed up to it, mainly because the episodes are getting BETTER! The popular black show opened to 7.7 MILLION VIEWERS and the week after drew 6 MILLION VIEWERS, retaining a good portion of followers. The ratings were -- guess what -- HEAD 2 HEAD with Jersey Shore!!

I was looking on YBF when I found these news. Industry analyst Marc Berman talked about the move that BET took to bring 'THE GAME' back. Personally, what BET did was score A MAJOR TOUCHDOWN with this move; it's like winning the Superbowl!

See Berman's quotes below:

"...one of the smartest moves I've ever seen a network do. The advantage [BET] had was that people were familiar with the show.  And BET has a niche audience and caters to the African-American community -- and that was the audience watching The CW sitcoms."

"When we started to think about the marketing campaign behind 'The Game,' it made sense to give the biggest scripted launch on our network the biggest overall platform on our network, which is the 'BET Awards.  We started with a teaser spot with the cast of 'The Game' during the 'BET Awards' and then began to leverage every major program to deliver the message about the return of 'The Game' -- from 'Black Girls Rock!' to the 'Soul Train Awards."

Berman [she] continued,

"In addition to that, we did the traditional off-channel tactics such as billboards, bus buys and radio spots. We also did a fantastic job of leveraging the show's fan base on social media sites."

She sure said it best...

Black Entertainment Television's "THE GAME" Review

The most anticipated black show of 2010, The Game, has returned back to TV in 2011 (after a 2-yr hiatus) with a glamorous BANG and lots of surprises, twists, WHAT THE... moments, and FUN, FUN, FUN. The moment the show came on, I saw the immediate difference in the atmosphere of the show when the scene starts with "TWO YEARS LATER."

Though I could get into all the details of the show, I don't want to spoil too much for those who haven't seen the show, but I will tell y'all how I thought the cast did. *WINK* 

INTRODUCTIONS:

(For those of you who never watched the show, the names which appear are the cast's character names)

There goes different introductions of everyone who played in the previous seasons of the show. Derwin Davis stepping out of the Maybach was a nice touch. Melanie and Tasha were in their same kind of fire from pervious seasons; Tasha's attitude reminds me of NeNe Leakes from Housewives of Atlanta (love her, love her, love her!)

Then here comes Kelly Pitts with a new short hairdo and some "ho-ish" dresses doing her own reality show. WHAT THE ?? That was the only messy and odd part of the show. And how is it that she gets paid $75,000 an episode to play on "The Game?" We'll see how she plays out for the next couple episodes. She better be worth 75 G's. Jason, Jason, Jason Pitts, playing it as a cool, retired? football player with supposedly a bunch of endorsements. That's a massive amount of swag. He did good "stealing the show" at the end.

MALIK WRIGHT.... is a MAN-WHORE. That's the only intro I'm giving him LOL.

BIGGEST SURPRISES:

Meghan Good!! She was mad sexy being the trophy girl of the power broker who owns several businesses, only to be ALL OVER Malik on the side... in the public bathroom. CAN YOU SAY MESSY???? BUT THE NAUGHTY-GOOD KIND *Smirk*

Terrence J from 106 & Park kissin' and all up on THE TASHA MACK?!!!! That's a BIIIIG WHAT THE ???? moment. I was laughing and laughing because this was so unexpected and Terrence did a good job; he reminds me of me because we're both thin guys and we try our best in what we do.

The Biggest Surprise Yet??

The baby isn't Derwin's.... NOW IT IS!! What's goin' on??! Tune in to BET on Tuesdays 10p/9p Central to follow the stories. I know I will...

THE ONLY JAIDEN's Grade

While some parts of the show were a little odd somewhere along the middle of the hour-long premiere, the show caught my attention the entire time. It's like a BLACK SOAP OPERA/REALITY SHOW all rolled into one. I would keep watching it; I suggest this show to others as well. Why? It's fun, it's "real," it's entertainment, and because I, The Only Jaiden, SAID SO *LoL*.

Grade: B-

Keep up the good work guys!!!

Go deeper and crazier...
