Every Xscape Member Wants A Reality Show

Well I guess if everyone else in her group is doing it, LaTocha Scott might as well jump in on the fun, too.

Tocha is back to recording music and would like to chronicle her story via a reality show.

I know what you’re thinking: Of course she does. I would, too, if Tiny is getting it in on BET and Kandi is about to blow on Bravo.

I was thinking the same thing.

Anyhow, the show has been described as a “purpose driven show.”

I’m not sure what that’s supposed to mean. I’m guessing something about the Lord and/or inspirational programming, but all reality shows have the same purpose: None whatsoever, usually.

I mean, we laugh, some of ya’ll cry or curse at the screen, but purpose driven? I suppose I’ll have to see it to completely get it.

The as-yet-untitled series will feature Tocha’s sister and fellow former Xscape member, Tamika Scott.

Speaking with the site Singersroom, Scott’s manager describes the project as a show “that will feature their lives after all the records sold and drama with the other band mates.”

He added that the show is nothing like Tiny’s (that show is entertaining, shoot) Scott’s manager said Tocha’s will be based on the premise “that after ten years they want people to see you can maintain wealth and happiness and not play yourself for attention and stay healthy and fit while enjoying life.”

That sounds like a dig at other trifling people currently filling our airwaves. I don’t know if that’s good or bad, though. The clowns are usually the most entertaining.

Will you be watching? That is, if it actually airs. I haven’t seen that En Vogue reality show yet either.

Tiny & Toya: What Did You Think?

Published by srhett on Wednesday, July 1, 2009 at 11:00 am.

I initially imagined that Tiny & Toya would be more like the babymama version of Laverne and Shirley, but with a pretentious twist (like the rest of the world). However, the first episode was more interesting than I anticipated.

The show chronicles the lives of good friends, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, TI’s alleged wife, and Antonia “Toya” Johnson-Carter, Lil Wayne’s ex-wife and first child’s mother. In last night’s premier, we got a first glimpse into each woman’s world. Tiny is dealing with her now incarcerated “husband” preparing to go to prison in addition to her father having Alzheimer’s disease, while Toya struggles with a drug addicted mother.

What I like so far, is that each woman has her own identity and they both seem very down-to-Earth. Tiny reminded us in the opening credits, that she had her own career and money before TI, and Toya was Lil Wayne’s teenage love (from back in the CMB days).

It’s not ostentatious like The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and Tiny and Toya actually act their ages. Sorry drama addicts, I don’t think you’ll be seeing too much cattyness this season. I’m definitely tuning in next week. What did you think?

Tiny and Toya airs Tuesday nights on BET at 10pm ET

The Tiny & Toya Show

Give it up for baby mamas! They are having the best week ever.

Not only is Tiny supposedly Mrs. T.I. now, she along with friend and Lil’ Wayne’s ex-wife, Antonia “Toya” Johnson-Carter, have signed on to star in a new BET series.

Tiny and Toya is said to chronicle the lives of “two dynamic, young women immersed in the craziness of the Hip Hop world, but striving to find inner strength, peace and purpose.”

If you’re wondering that inner peace is said to not come in the form of Louis bags and saddity stilettos paid for by child support checks.

Rather, the ladies will be each starting their very own businesses.

The show will also chronicle how each copes with the legal woes of their respective baby daddies, and seeks to offer each woman an opportunity to define themselves outside of their high profile relationships.

I’ve come to love The Real Housewives of Atlanta, so I don’t doubt for a second that I’ll be watching The Baby Mamas of Bankhead when it premiers.

BET will air a preview special, Monday, June 15 at 10pm/9c followed by a sneak peek Sunday, June 28 (immediately after the BET Awards).
