Basketball Wives Producers to Sue Jennifer Williams?

Producers of VH1’s Basketball Wives are thinking about filing a lawsuit against cast member Jennifer Williams for publicly trashing the reality show. After Jennifer Williams sued Nia Crooks for slapping her in the face while taping an episode (below), VH1 reportedly became absolutely livid with her. Now producers are ready rebut Williams’ legal and media rampage, during which she said the show portrays African-American women negatively. Basketball Wives FIGHT: Jennifer Williams Slapped! Producers feel Williams’ lawsuit is frivolous – her contract says she waives such a right to sue based on physical confrontations, the network says. Moreover, her explicit show-bashing is in violation of her contract , which forbids cast members from doing media appearances or press without approval. Or speaking negatively about the show, which the nut job clearly has. VH1 feels J-Dubs is “ruining the brand” they worked so hard to build, which is hilarious, but actually not a legal stretch if she’s in breach of contract. Crooks, for her part, was charged with battery for the slap. Really.

‘Fringe’ Finale Is A ‘Tug-Of-War Between Two Universes,’ Stars Say

‘You have to watch the last five minutes … and that will tell you a lot,’ Joshua Jackson says of the episode. By Jocelyn Vena Fans are eagerly anticipating the season finale of “Fringe” on Thursday night (May 20). With a rift in the Bishop clan, the entire crew trying to save the world from an alternate dimension and the possibility that Peter is the key to the end of the world, anything is possible. John Noble and Joshua Jackson, who play the Bishop father/son combo, said the show’s final few minutes will really leave fans shocked. “You have to watch the last five minutes … and that will tell you a lot,” Jackson revealed earlier this week to MTV News. Noble said that even he isn’t sure if Peter (Jackson) is the key to saving or destroying the universes. “It’s only Walter surmising that that’s the case, so science, as we know it now, would suggest that unless we do something rapidly, it could happen,” he said. “But it won’t happen, because we have a story to tell, and being very inventive people, we will find a way to get past that problem. “The interesting thing about ‘Fringe’ is, the only character that doesn’t change is Peter,” he continued. “Peter is the constant, and this season we’ve been talking about Peter a lot. … It’s all been building. When Walter said in the last episode [that Peter] could be responsible for the end of the world, it’s actually about Peter. So we have this tug-of-war between two universes for this character, and I play both dads.” Fans, however, wonder when the rift between the Bishop men will eventually mend. “Isn’t that the foundation of a good story? Isn’t the whole point that they never get to the end of the story until the show is off the air? But that’s what family is too,” Jackson said. “We were making progress. We become closer together. Circumstances, like being from an alternate universe, come and tear you apart and then slowly repair.” What do you think will happen on the “Fringe” season finale?
