his face is on the watch? how narcissistic! :rolleyes:

Jesse Jackson and his family has to realize that his illegimate daughter is not going away so they better well acknowlege her.

I thought BBD got back together a couple of years ago...with them and Johnny Gill on the road, what's Ralph going to do? Maybe he can convince Bobby to come back to the group!:p

Teddy with Blackstreet and Guy--I'm glad Guy is getting back together but for Blackstreet he has to bring Dave AND Chauncy to convince me.

Jodeci is getting back together--I know a lot of ya'll are happy about the news but for me...K-Ci and JoJo have always been Jodeci. I think Dalvin and Devante were there for eye candy. And a reality show...what are they going to do, fight on stage(K-Ci and JoJo) or fight over the crack pipe (Dalvin and Devante)?

Lionel-Listen to Nicole and don't go back Diane!

Whitney--for the sake of your mom and BK, GET IT TOGETHER!!!!

Not to say that his or his children's attitudes towards the 6 year old is right - because it's not. But Mom needs to do some soul searching and stop blaming Jesse for everything. Hello? He is a married man! She knew this and put herself and their child in that predicament. Now, unfortunately, this little girl is the one who is suffering.

Thanks Soror

uh, maybe JD (aka Lil Cockroach) isn't getting his props b/c he hasn't had a hit out in 5 or 6 years??!!! hmmmm...:rolleyes:

106 and Park Hosts Depart After 5 Years
By BET.com Staff Writers


Updated July 28, 2005— After five years of hosting BET's highly rated video countdown show "106 & Park," AJ and Free announced their departure during Thursday's live broadcast of BET's "106 & Park."

While sitting on the famed “106” couch and holding a cell phone with co-host Free on the other line, a tearful AJ told the television and studio audience, “This is our last live show...But this isn’t the last time you’ll see us.”

The two have been a staple on televisions across the country since “106 & Park” debuted in 2000 when Black Entertainment Television moved its music programming operations from its Washington, DC corporate location to facilities located at the corner of 106th Street and Park Avenue in Harlem. Since then, 106 & Park has been a dominant force among video countdown programs, featuring live interviews and performances by the biggest names in music and entertainment, a rocking in-studio audience and the top music videos as chosen by BET viewers on BET.com.

"They were definitely not let go," said Stephen Hill, executive vice president of music programming for BET. "They've decided after five great years of the highest rated music video show on television that they wanted to do something different."

BET has not made any announcements on future hosts or plans for the show at this time but Hill assured viewers that the show will go on.

"On Monday, we’re going to have a couple of folks you’ve seen on there before and a few other surprises," he said. "You have to tune in on Monday to find out. It’s still going to be the top countdown show on the air."

A.J. and Free were not available for interviews. A pre-taped show hosted by AJ and featuring Miami rapper Trina will air on Friday at 6 p.m. (ET/PT).

"There is nothing like `106 & Park.'" AJ said to the audience. “It's a staple in the African American community for five years and we hope it will continue. We love you all very much."

It was a very emotional moment on the air that Hill said was a difficult thing for AJ. Hill and BET’s staff knew the duo was leaving before the show aired. "It was tough for him to do but that was the way he wanted to do it," Hill explained. "Usually in television if you know someone’s leaving, they don’t get to go on the air anymore. BET is a family so we wanted him to go the way he wanted to exit."

Both hosts will go on to pursue other interests. AJ announced that he will be opening a new restaurant, Mahogany, in Brooklyn, N.Y. and will continue working with his management company. AJ also announced that Free said that her website would also be coming soon.

So, they basically resigned (quit)?

So much for those words earlier posted from BET regarding Free's "absence". :rolleyes:

I heard that Free is upset with King magazine for listing her real age. Is she really 38?

The mag said 37. Like we didn't already know that!:o

I just hope Free doesnt jump on the "My career is over so now, Lets get a talk show bandwagon" :rolleyes:

or, she might jump over to TV one and become a segment host of TVOneAccess. :o :rolleyes:

WOW. She doesn't look 37.

I hear AJ is going to open a resturant in NY.

I'm surprised that AJ and Free seem to be leaving all of a sudden. Was there something going on behind the scenes that we didn't know about? I believe that Free is in her 30s. that doesn't mean that she doesn't look good for her age, but I still believe it. She and lil Kim both need to get a grip on the age thing. :rolleyes:

John Singleton really thought thinks that Hustle and Flow is Oscar material? Did we see the same movie?

So all this hype is for nothing then, soror? I was pretty excited about going to see it I guess I should calm down

The movie was decent, but not Oscar material. If Hustle and Flow is even considered for a nomination, I'll be surprised.

I mean, it wouldn't be best actress or best actor, so I'm thinking that he's leaning toward best picture...I don't see that...I think Deuce Bigelow has about the same chance of winning.
