*BET’s latest series, “The Quad,” which is set on a fictional HBCU campus, has already garnered good reviews, but Hampton University president William R. Harvey finds it objectionable.
As ebony.com notes, the drama deals with issues like bullying, hazing, power struggles, and school pride at Georgia A&M. But just after the show premiered, Harvey sent Debra Lee, BET’s Chairman and CEO, a scathing letter criticizing the show. He called it “a sad, derisive and degenerating story,” and “an incredib

Taraji P. Henson urged viewers at Sunday night’s BET Awards to take the prospect of a Donald Trump presidency seriously.
Accepting the award for Best Actress, the Empire star said, “I’m really not political, but it’s serious out here.” She then referenced Trump, though not by name: “For those who think he’s not going to win, think again. We really need to pull together and turn this country around.”
The BET Awards were filled with a number of political call-outs in
*Stacey Dash has a new target.
Commenting on the speech given by Jesse Williams at the 2016 BET Awards, the right wing pundit wrote, “You’ve just seen the perfect example of a HOLLYWOOD plantation slave!”
“Sorry, Mr. Williams. But the fact that you were standing onstage at THOSE awards tells people you really don’t know what you’re talking about. Just spewing hate and anger,” she continued on her Patheos Blog.
Dash also took issue with Williams’ critique of “the bystander” – a term she seems
Stacey Dash rubbed the majority of people the wrong way when they came in contact with her recent comments. During an appearance on the Fox News network, the actress said America should do away with Black History Month — and BET — if we want to be inclusive of all races.
“If we don’t want segregation, then we need to get rid of channels like BET and the BET Awards, and the [NAACP] Image Awards, where you’re only awarded if you’re black,” she said. “If it were the other way around, we would b
One lesson you should learn about Mase – NEVER ask him about preaching while at a music-based event! Konan of 92Q Jams in Baltimore learned that the hard way when he opened up his interview at the BET Awards Radio Broadcast Center with “so the people want to know, are you preaching or are you rapping?” It all went south from there.
Mase went on a rant for several minutes. Unfortunately the audio is not the greatest quality but you can make out a few strong statements:
“Actually the interview
Lecrae
Christian hip-hop has made some notable inroads in the last few years, especially in the mainstream market. Popular rapper Lecrae has won Grammy, Stellar, and Dove awards, and he, along with other Christian artists, appear regularly on networks like BET and MTV. Does this mean the movement that emerged in the early ’80s as Gospel rap has finally arrived?
The question might be especially relevant after it was reported that recording artists Flame, Lecrae, and others filed a lawsuit ag
CBS Television Distribution
The host is in early talks to reboot “The Arsenio Hall Show,” his manager tells TheWrap.
Is there a chance Arsenio Hall could pull off a third return to television? His manager, John Ferriter, tells TheWrap a three-peat is possible.
“There’s been an outpouring of support,” Ferriter says. “We started getting calls over the weekend.”
CBS Television Distribution announced it was pulling the plug on “The Arsenio Hall Show” Friday. Ferriter said other outlets didn’t was
The 2014 gospel nominations have been announced for the annual BET Awards, and with such a great year for gospel music, choosing a winner will be a tough call.
Whoever walks away with the statue, it will be a collective victory for the genre in light of reports that BET has chosen to axe its annual “Celebration of Gospel,” further limiting the exposure of the niche genre.
This year, despite the downside of losing one of the flagship faith-based programs on one of the few networks representing
Out with the old and in with the new! Taraji P. Henson is officially replacing comedian/actor/talk show host, Steve Harvey, as the new host of BET’s Celebration of Gospel: Forward In Faith. Harvey hosted this spirited celebration for 13 years and Taraji is set to breathe new life into the star-studded show. R&B and Gospel stars will raise the praise together as BET reimagines one of its most viewed programs. The powers that be at BET say Henson’s effervescent personality and quick wit are a f

Pooch Hall and Tia Mowry also known as The Game's Derwin and Melanie Barnett-Davis, will not be returning next season.
Those of us who like The Game may be in for an upset when the new season starts. Thenew season will focus on more losses from the cast. The first loss from the team was Kelly Pitts (played by Brittney ), with her divorce from Jason Pitts (played by Coby Bell) which left many wondering why…the same will apply with the new cuts from the team.
Bossip is reporting that BET didn’
