Tami Roman is finally getting the spin-off show she’s been talking about for years, and a whole lot more. It was announced this week by Deadline that the 49-year-old reality star and actress has signed an overall deal with Mona Scott-Young and her Monami Productions, which is behind the Love and Hip Hop franchises, to develop and produce both scripted and “alternative” content. The first project in that lucrative deal is Roman’s reality special, Tami Ever After . It premieres Wednesday, June 19 at 9 p.m. after the premiere of Season 8 of Basketball Wives, which Tami is also on. The special will follow Tami, longtime love and now husband Reggie Youngblood, and the blending of her daughters and his family from Houston. It will also take us through Reggie’s efforts to get Tami to marry him. SEE ALSO: Surprise! Tami Roman And Reggie Youngblood Secretly Married Last Year In addition to that, Tami will be behind a couple other shows on the way, including the docuseries Queen City and Big Oil Houston . Both women are committed to putting the spotlight on Houston, where Tami and her family mainly reside. Mona is very excited about this partnership, telling Deadline , “Tami is a true multi-hyphenate; not only is she a talent on camera, she’s also an incredibly intuitive and creative producer. I love working with smart, dynamic women and Tami Roman is a rock star!” TAMI EVER AFTER premieres WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19TH on @VH1 read full story by @NineDaves on @people https://t.co/pp3sUQgaiz pic.twitter.com/MddDmPmn0e — IG: @TamiRoman (@TamiRoman) June 14, 2019 As for Roman, the Bonnet Chronicles and Saints and Sinners star is grateful to Mona for providing her with yet another opportunity to allow her career to flourish. “I’m so excited about the magic that Mona and I are creating,” she told the publication. “She has always been very supportive of my career and ideas and I’m happy to be a part of her company. This will be an incredible journey.” Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. ( Terms and conditions ). This is certainly a dream come true for Tami, who said in 2018 that she was ready to do her own thing outside of Basketball Wives because people were getting the wrong impression of her based on her time on the show. “I’ve been a part of the Basketball Wives franchise since 2010 — and it hasn’t been for lack of trying to have my own situation, because we tried several times,” she said at the time. “But I do also think it’s just a matter of timing. They say, ‘If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans,’ and I think you have to do things when it’s ordered by Him — not to get too spiritual. But I feel like it’s the right time for this moment to happen, because people have seen me one way on Basketball Wives for so long and eventually that takes its toll on public perception of you.” SEE ALSO: Tami Roman Details Being Kidnapped, Held Hostage And Sexually Abused [VIDEO] She will finally get the chance to show fans a different side of her, and as she told PEOPLE this week, she’s looking forward to it. “I’m truly excited that my fans will finally get an opportunity to see my crazy family dynamic with my children — Lyric, Jazz — and my boyfriend Reggie,” she said. “It feels good that I have the opportunity to do something a little different in the reality TV space.” Sign Up For Our Newsletter!

Source: Casie Wendel / Casie Wendel Asiahn Speaks About Being Openly Lesbian And Her Singing Career We’ve posted a few things about Since the 80’s singer Asiahn over the last few months but we recently had a chance to meet up during her Atlanta listening party for ‘Love Train 2 for a quick interview. Check it out below: BOSSIP: We love your project ‘Love Train 2,’ what’s next for you musically? ASIAHN: We are going to extend some songs which are short, and I’ve got videos coming out for ‘London’ and “Love Curiosity”, and my own tour coming in July. BOSSIP: Congrats! What city are you most excited to go to? ASIAN: I’m most excited to go places I haven’t been before and to visit overseas. I have a huge fan base in UK, France, and Germany also, oddly Japan. I can’t wait. I’m an anime head. BOSSIP: We first heard of you when you were going by the name Asia Bryant… Who is Asia Bryant? Asiahn: Well, I started with Asiahn in like MySpace days, but everyone butchered my name. So I was like let’s just change it to Asia Bryant because it was easier and even my teachers used to call me Asia, because it was so difficult to pronounce Asiahn. Asiahn is my real name and when I was coming out with ‘Love Train’ I was going through a breakup so I went through a whole “reinventing” yourself moment and remembering who I am. So it was all about Asiahn. BOSSIP: Was it a toxic relationship, or just like a really bad breakup?

The decade of cinema dominated by black films and film stars such as Isaac Hayes , Fred Williamson , Richard Roundtree and Pam Grier came to be known as “Blaxploitation.” Good or bad, the films were known for their action, their style and in some ways, even their stereotypes of certain characters. Join Our Text Club To Get The Latest Music, Entertainment, Contests And Breaking News On Your Phone. Text BOX to 24042 to join! Perhaps the most iconic of the films happened to be Shaft and in the latest installment of the film, three generations of Shaft are coming together to prove it’s a family thing. Madd Hatta sat down with Roundtree, Samuel L. Jackson and Jessie T. Usher to ask them about what “blaxploitation” means to them AND we even got some ideas from Tim Story on whether or not a focus group’s reaction makes him go back and edit films. “I did, given the fact that Gordon Parks spoke on it and he’s such a dignified human being that when that word is used in conjunction with Gordon Parks, it doesn’t work. There isn’t anything exploitive about Gordon Parks,” Roundtree says. Jackson asked, “What’s your better name? I mean, we all do but that’s the period, it’s not a genre, it’s more a period. It was like a testing ground, I saw everything from Shaft to Candy Tangerine Man … a brother who was a pimp during the week and insurance man on the weekends. JD’s Revenge. All those films inform what I do because it was about getting back against the man.” Shaft is in theaters now.
