Good morning! Thanks to Heather Hogan for Brewing while I was out last week.
I love Gabrielle Union so hard. She's played a lesbian in Running with Scissors and I'm waiting patiently for her to do it again. In the meantime, she is talking about her crushes on anchorwomen:
Soledad O’Brien! But I’ve been obsessed with her for years. The “Black in America” series, they take up a lot of space in my DVR, and I refuse to erase them. If you come over my house you’re gonna watch some part of “Black in America.” I will make sure the conversation is steered toward something that gives me a reason to watch “Black in America.” She has a rare combination of being painfully genuine and honest and delivering information in a way that you believe her »

Julianne Hough probably thought she was safe from copycats in this sultry red jumper. Little did she know that Gabrielle Union wouldn't shy away from a low-cut, skin-tight jumpsuit either—even if she knows the Safe Haven star already wore it! This bold Bec & Bridge look doesn't require accessories and both celebs smartly kept it simple. In which case we're forced to decide between the messy, loose locks of the Dancing with the Stars vet and the tight up-do on the Think Like a Man star. And we like Julianne's tousled 'do best. But what's your take? »

But that doesn't mean she's immune to a little body envy every now and then. Us Weekly caught up with the Think Like a Man actress on Tuesday, April 16, at the Bet Upfronts in New York City, where she admitted to having [...] »

Bet today unveiled its slate of new and returning series to advertisers at its upfront presentation in Los Angeles. Mara Brock Akil was front and center as her hit comedy series The Game was renewed for a seventh season, and her newest project, drama Being Mary Jane, originally picked up as a movie, was formally ordered to series. Other new series pitched to advertisers include a revival of standup showcase ComicView after a five-year hiatus, a weekly talk show starring Bishop T.D. Jakes, and Burns BBQ, a reality series produced by Arthur Smith. The network had the attendees on their feet with a performance by Chaka Khan, who sang her anthem Tell Me Something Good. With multiple cable networks, including Own, looking to tap into the strong and loyal Black TV audiences, Bet’s president of original programming Loretha Jones touted Bet as being “better connected” to the African-American community than any other network. »

Tyler Perry believes in love, but his movies admit it isn't easy. He asked audiences to justify Why Did I Get Married?, and then questioned them again in the sequel. In last year's Good Deeds, he played a man torn between his strong, independent fiancee (Gabrielle Union) and a homeless single mom (Thandie Newton) and now in Tyler Perry's Temptation, he takes fans to some truly dark places. Temptation stars Jurnee Smollett-Bell (Friday Night Lights) as Judith, a good woman who wears her moral values on her sleeve, but finds herself tempted to stray from her marriage by a social media millionaire who makes her an offer she can't refuse: he'll fund her private couples-therapy practice—if she'll be his woman. We sat down for an exclusive chat with...

This season, Real Husbands Of Hollywood is the #1 sitcom on cable among adults 18-49; and Second Generation Wayans is the #2 new sitcom on cable among adults 18-49. Who'da thunk it? Not I.

And let's not forget what they have coming up - like Being Mary Jane, with Gabrielle Union, Omari Hardwick, and other names you all know well. But what happened to T.J.
