And coming to the small screen this summer….
Four-time U.S. Olympic Gold Medalist Sanya Richards-Ross has signed on for a new WE tv original docu-series, entitled “Sanya’s Glam & Gold.” Premiering Thursday, July 25th at 10pm ET/PT, the show will follow the track superstar’s fast-paced life and high-profile marriage to NFL star Aaron Ross (who’s won two Super Bowl Championships).
The show was filmed primarily in Austin, Texas, which serves as the homebase for the couple who met in college at the University of Texas and married in 2010. Speaking about the show in a WE tv press release, Sanya said,
“I’m so thrilled to have this opportunity to open up my life and marriage to viewers and to introduce them to my incredibly supportive, and let’s be honest, sometimes-crazy family.
I hope that in addition to being entertained by my journey since my victories last summer at the Olympic games, viewers will also identify with the challenges I face—and that all modern women face—to balance work, family, a husband and everything else life throws our way. There’s never a dull moment and things can sometimes get out of control, but I wouldn’t have it any other way!”
Outside of Texas, the show also filmed in Jacksonville, Florida, New York City and Jamaica. The show is helmed by executive producers Jason Carbone (Tia & Tamara, Run’s House) and Nick Lee (Run’s House, The Bachelorette).
In other tv additions…..
There’s a new high-profile addition to VH1’s hit "Hollywood Exes" and she’s the ex-wife of our fave sitcom boyfriend/hubby of 90s. A new press release from VH1, has revealed that Shamicka Lawrence, the ex-wife of Martin Lawrence, will join the current cast which includes Nicole Murphy, ex-wife of Eddie Murphy, Sheree Fletcher, ex-wife of Will Smith, Andrea Kelly, ex-wife of R. Kelly, Jessica Conseco, ex-wife of Jose Canseco, and Mayte Garcia, ex-wife of Prince.
IndieWire posted a synopsis of this season…
Drea, who has been spending her time between Chicago and Los Angeles, is not happy with Jessica for some choice words she shared with Drea on Twitter. After returning to L.A., she and Jessica will finally have it out, resulting in one of the most explosive – and honest – confrontations in the show’s history. Meanwhile, Jessica struggles with being the single mom of a rebellious teenager – Josie has been acting out and her grades are slipping. Mayte, who has been desperate to have a child, makes plans to adopt a one-year-old baby. The others worry that everything is happening too fast – what if something goes wrong and Mayte loses another child? Finally, Shamicka’s wounds from her divorce are still fresh – her divorce from Martin Lawrence was just recently finalized. Every day brings new challenges that only a Hollywood Ex can understand, but thankfully the others are there to help her find her way.
We’re wondering why Daphne Wayans wasn’t included in the synopsis. Did she make the final cut? We heard rumbles producers may have put her of the show early. We shall see.
The new season of "Hollywood Exes" premieres on July 8, 2013, at 10pm ET/PT, with 13 1-hour episodes.

Ottawa’s Taz returns with a new single “Fall 4 You” produced by Denysxw_beats. The video was shot in Miami. Fall 4 You was created, I never heard of him but when I heard the Beat , is when I just know , this is how I make most of my music . I hear a beat then I put words to the music. I recorded this song in 1 hour with a producer named Daniel “Dray” Paisly who works out of a recording studio here in Ottawa called The Cave.
When I was young I always listened to Hiphop / rap and was always listening to all kinds of artist and knew these 3 artists would make it big one day. The number one reason was their wordplay & lyricism. I like aboogie , polo G and liltjay because Their music taught me about life as a young teenager and the music speaks to me . These 3 artist always stood out to me from their melodic flow & cadence. I always dreamed that one day maybe I could be just like them.
Tierra Whack, the GRAMMY-nominated rapper and creative visionary, has once again left fans in awe with her latest video, MOOVIES. In this witty and playful visual, Tierra takes us through a series of movie dates gone terribly wrong. With each new suitor, her hopes for love are dashed, yet she persists in her quest for romance. Directed by her frequent collaborator, contemporary artist Alex Da Corte, the video blends humor and heartache in a colorful display of Tierra’s dynamic storytelling and Da Corte’s artistic flair. Following the success of her critically acclaimed debut album WORLD WIDE WHACK, this video showcases a lighter side to Tierra, as she remains optimistic despite her unlucky streak in love.
Critics and media outlets alike have showered “WORLD WIDE WHACK” with praise since its release in March. Variety described the album as “tender, fatalistic, colorful, and endearingly weird,” a combination that only an artist as unique as Tierra could pull off. Pitchfork echoed these sentiments, pointing to her “eye for surreal, captivating detail” that continues to shine through every project. Tierra has been actively performing, including a standout appearance at NPR’s Tiny Desk, which NPR called “one of the best Tiny Desks in history.” She’s also performed alongside fellow artists like Jill Scott at The Roots Picnic and made a surprise appearance at Childish Gambino’s tour stop in Philly, keeping fans engaged and excited about her every move. Stream your copy of the project here and let us know your thoughts on the official below. Keep up with Tierra Whack by following her on Instagram, X, TikTok, and YouTube.
Orlando native artist Fleetwood Jr dives deep into his personal journey with his latest single, “Feel Me,” released on September 28, 2024. Produced by Djstakkman, the track captures Fleetwood’s raw reflections on his life experiences, particularly his encounters with police brutality and growing up in a tough environment. For Fleetwood Jr, music is a form of therapy, allowing him to process the trauma of being exposed to police aggression as early as age six. He uses the song to voice his feelings on violence in communities, the misplaced glorification of neighborhoods, and the harsh realities of loyalty and relationships.
“Feel Me” stands out not only for its hard-hitting lyrics but also for its relatability. Fleetwood Jr crafted the track to resonate with others who share similar struggles. For him, it’s the embodiment of an underdog mentality—rising from the hardships and defying the odds. His favorite line, “N***** beefing over streets I went and bought a LLC, Kolin Kaepernick so much violence make you take a knee,” critiques the senseless street violence while offering a clever nod to self-empowerment and accountability. It’s a track that speaks to anyone who has overcome adversity while pushing for growth and resilience.
Fleetwood Jr is steadily making his mark in the industry, with several upcoming performances, including a mic session with Has1ATL and a performance in Orlando on November 23rd. He’s also preparing for the release of a music video for “Feel Me.” Having shared stages with legends like Young Dro and rising stars like Omertta, Fleetwood Jr is poised for a major breakthrough, continuing to rep his city and Da Underdawgs Ent LLC with every verse.
