Bsi 2,052.53 -6.16 -.3%

Ladies, are you black, kinda famous, willing to make a fool of yourself on national TV and conveniently fall into the contemporary narrative of being single, fabulous and without a man? If you are, you're probably on TV already.

VH1 is giving a second season order to three of its new reality skeins: “Brandy & Ray J: A Family Business,” “Basketball Wives” and “What Chilli Wants.”

Guess we don't need to worry about the lack of diversity in comedy, after all. It's all on cable. And it's a joke.

Bsi 2,134.6 +12.5 +.59%

Can't go wrong honoring Def Jam's 25 years.  Well, you could.  But they didn't.

But with Eddie Griffin, Flavor Flav, Hip-Hop Honors, Real Chance at Love, etc. on the network, has anyone else noticed that VH1 is out-BETing BET?

Former TLC member Ronzanda "Chili" Thomas will star along side Sandra "Pepa" Denton in VH1's latest attempt to ruin everything we once held dear.

Ain't too proud to beg?... sounds about right.

Is is so hard for black women to find love that even famous ones have to sell their dignity and take the search to the airwaves?  As much as people will talk about BET, right now its sister network and home of Flavor of Love and I Love New York is doing just about as much to damage our collective psyche.

Bsi 1,338.92 +15.74 +1.15%

The bulls continue to drive the Index and we hit the fifth consecutive day of gains.

BUY

Santogold vs. Diplo mixtape.

Yeah, she's a creator.

SELL

VH1's "New York Goes to Hollywood", "I Want to Work For Diddy" and "Luke's Parental Advisory" (aka, the New Black Minstral Hour).

They program a television block where THIS GUY ends up sticking out as the role model.

Almost makes long for days gone by.

Well... almost.
