“Chilli” and “Pepa” Prepare New VH1 Shows
VH1 is giving two female hip-hop artists their own reality series — Sandra “Pepa” Denton of Salt-N-Pepa and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas from TLC. The as-yet-untitled series are scheduled to premiere in 2010. Eight half-hour episodes have been ordered for each.

The network has also renewed “Celebrity Fit Club” for a seventh season and “Sober House with Dr. Drew” for a second season. (Continue Reading…)
Michael Jackson’s Mom Gets Kids, Estate Control for Now

She has, so far, not publicly indicated whether she will challenge the Jacksons for custody. (Continue Reading…)

The ruling could alter employment practices nationwide and make it harder to prove discrimination when there is no evidence it was intentional. New Haven was wrong to scrap a promotion exam because no African-Americans and only two Hispanic firefighters were likely to be made lieutenants or captains based on the results, the court said Monday in a 5-4 decision. The city said that it had acted to avoid a lawsuit from minorities. (Continue Reading…)
