BET: Pooch Hall Is Leaving “The Game” For Showtime Network Role, Hopes He & Tia Will Return For Guest Appearances
May 17th
With Tia Mowry announcing this week she will not be returning for season 6 of "The Game," and reports saying Pooch Hall will not either, BET networks has issued a statement explaining the situation. Deets inside..
BET, the home network of "The Game," said in a statement today that Pooch isn’t returning because of his “involvement on a new project.” That new project is the Showtime pilot “Ray Donovan.”
The network went on to say it “is in the process of reworking the casting and storyline” and hopes Hall and Mowry “will make several guest appearances.”
Still calling B.S. on this ish. Why? Because Coby Bell–who plays the major role of Jason Pitts–has also played a mid-level role on USA network’s "Burn Notice" for the past few years now. All while still working on "The Game." So it is possible. Not to mention many of the non-lead actors like Meagan Good, Brandy and others have several different projects outside of the show.
Everybody just needs to keep it 100 about what really went down. And as for the show continuing without the main two characters–just not seeing it.
Oh wells. It was fun while it lasted.
Deuces.

Kandi Burruss DISHES To Dr. Drew About Sex And “Bedroom Kandi” + Sheree Whitfield REVEALS Why She Left “RHOA”…And The STATUS Of Chateau Sheree
May 17th
Kandi Burruss and her mama Joyce stopped by Dr. Drew’s show to discuss her successful sex toy line. Watch their segment inside and see former "RHOA" star Sheree Whitfield clear up rumors about why she left the show and if Chateau Sheree is really NEVERland…
"RHOA" star Kandi Burruss stopped by Dr. Drew’s talkshow to dish on her successful sex toy line. When asked why she created it, she said,
“I have an online talk show. We talk openly about sex and relationships. And from there, I got an idea of what people like over the last two years. I thought, ‘I want to have my own toys’. It’s an idea I thought would be fun and it has grown into something much bigger.”
Mama Joyce threw in her two cents saying the line is a great idea….especially for older women. She cautioned that older women also have to protect themselves from STDs while maintaning a healthy sex life. True…but awkward convo with moms right?
Watch Kandi’s segment below:
In other reality tv news…..
Sheree Whitfield has opened up to VIBE about why she left "RHOA" saying, “We don’t see the editing or what’s going on until the few days before everyone else and I saw how it affected my kids and their lives seeing their parents on TV, in court fighting. It’s just not good. So I felt like I needed to step back, because at the end of the day, I am more than just what you see on TV."
While adding that Chateau Sheree is still being worked on (straight face), she said the fighting on tv with women she didn’t like and the whole child-support issue was taking its toll.
She added, “Do I think African American women are portrayed in a negative light? Yes, I do. To me it’s not a race issue, it’s a gender issue.”
So what’s next for Sheree? She’s working with the “Lose 5 Million Pounds” campaign and has partnered with a fitness company. Oh…

OH SNAP: LisaRaye McCoy FINALLY Reveals To JET Her Drama With Stacey Dash…And Why She DE-FRIENDED Duane Martin
May 17th
And finally…LisaRaye McCoy gives up the goods on what really went down with her and Stacey Dash…and Stacey’s sudden departure from their VH1 show "Single Ladies." In an exclusive interview with JET magazine, the former Premier of Turks & Caicos’ wife refuses to take the blame for Stacey leaving…but does admit a catfight or two ensued. Plus, the opportunist Hollywood actor she dumped as a friend…
In next week’s issue of JET magazine, the feisty LisaRaye McCoy reveals she doesn’t have the "power" to get a co-star (namely Stacey Dash) axed form her "Single Ladies" show. But if you read between the lines, it’s pretty clear she indirectly may have had something to do with Stacey’s departure. Not to mention the many sources who saw their fights first hand on the set.
Now, LisaRaye finally gives up the details. Here’s the highlights:
On moving on without Stacey Dash who played her best friend on the show:
Believe me I wish things had worked out because I thought Stacey and I were great together. She was my age and we were working it. It was sex-symbol to sex-symbol. But she didn’t want to be there. I was disappointed about that. She had some issues. I’m not sure exactly what those issues were. In the end, she and VH1 made a decision.
On the catfights that what really went down on set
Yes, there was a disagreement over a scene. And it really wasn’t with me. It was with the director. I think it was about 2 or 3AM and we’d been shooting all damn day. Stacey tried to argue with the director about a line. And I’m like: "Girl, if you don’t say what the director wants you to say." It wasn’t that serious at first, but it went there.
It’s a bunch of women on the set. We might all be on our damn period at any given point. I just wanted us to move forward. Then the argument took on a life of its own. The show decided to use it for publicity. They just ran with it.
On which Hollywood firend she’s had to dump
Duane Martin. I introduced him to my ex-husband [former Turks & Caicos Premier Michael Misick], he got buddy-buddy with him and then turned against me. Just recently, this fool Duane up and sold a building he and I bought awhile ago in Los Angeles, without asking…I don’t care if we’re not friends, just don’t try to f**k me in the interim.
When I heard about him in the middle of Will & Jada’s divorce rumors, I tweeted: sounds familiar. He really aint got enough business.
Ha! And there’s more where that came from. Pick up JET to see what LisaRaye had to say about whether she’s feeling her new co-star, Denise Vasi, and if she and Vivica Fox ever squashed their beef!
