90’s soul divas Mary J. Blige and Monica have a lot to sing about these days. Both ladies have been tapped by BET to star in their own reality series. Come this fall “Monica: Stll Standing” should hit the airwaves, as will “The Hollywood Treatment”, a show that gives Hollywood makeovers to women recovering from tragic events in their lives. Hosted by Mary J. Blige and in conjunction with her F.F.A.W.N. Organization (Foundation For The Advancement of Women Now), the show is currently still in the casting stage and looking for women between the ages of 18-26 and living in Yonkers (Mary’s hometown) only.
And for those of you who may be Mary J fans but not “30 Rock” fans, you might wanna switch up loyalties for at least a night next month. The undisputed Queen of Hip-Hop Soul will be appearing on the show’s season finale on May 14th. Mary will be joined by fellow singers Sheryl Crow, Adam Levine (Maroon 5), Elvis Costello and Clay Aiken.
Update: Sorry, was just informed the casting for this show actually wrapped up on the 14th.
aww i heard a little about this, great news i am going to have to watch and see if i like
Congrats to them
Good for both ladies. This should be really good publicity for Monica. I haven’t seen much of her lately or atleast anything positive. Maybe she can actually make a come-back. The industry is not the same as it was back when she first came out. Her and Brandy gotta work overtime to stay relevant. Mary J., I’m still waiting on that book…
This is good news, and I just know Mrs. Marys show will be positive.
@ prettylady
This will be good for monica, alot of people have totally written this chick off and forgot her. Also, Keyshia cole just released the song with monica as a single, that will be good for her too as long as they have a hot video to boot. However I don’t think it’s as hard for Brandi to stay relevant. Ray J is her bro, she had along run on the show Americas got talent, and the tabloids had a good time with her a couple years ago. Brandi also has more white fans than Monica, I hate to take it there, but thats where it is. And brandi has had her face in all the major black hair magazines and stores for the past 5 years.
The Hollywood Treatment show sounds good too. Just when i thought BET was all out of class.
I think Mary’s show will be great. I think her foundation is great she is trying to uplift women. Not just women of color but all women. Mary is a living legend and she is constantly growing as a person. I am so proud of her like it’s one of my sisters doing well. You go Mary.
Congrats to both ladies :thumbsup: . But it seems that BET is pushing hard for something that will replace their top show, Keyshia Cole, since that show won’t be returning.
