Fresh on the heels of the announcement that 'Girlfriends' would be picked up by the CW Network, Golden Brooks, who plays Maya on the show, shared her frustration the depiction of former pop sensation Whitney Houston on 'Being Bobby Brown.' According to New York Daily News columnist Lloyd Grove, Brooks told Steppin' Out magazine that she wished "Whitney Houston would stay off the tube and disappear in India."

Brooks shared her disdain for reality television and believes it has helped with the demise of Houston's career. "It's like a TV dinner. It disgusts me. It's cheap. I watched the Whitney Houston show, and I cried. It broke my heart. I always wanted to be like her when I grew up, and now I look at her, and it's so embarrassing. ... It's a horror movie."

Speaking of 'Girlfriends,' rumor has it that show star Jill Marie Jones (Toni), is planning not to return to the series. We don't know the reasons for her possible exit from the hit series, which will enter its seventh season when it returns on the CW this fall.
