Keith Sweat Returns!

New Reality Series Launches on Centric

 

Image

After vanishing from the spotlight for seven years, legendary multi-platinum, veteran producer and recording artist Keith Sweat is back. Currently the host of New York's WBLS Quiet Storm, he's now added a new title to his list of accomplishments: reality show host. Starting on June 28th, Centric will air Keith's Sweat's Platinum House, where he will work with R&B group Dru Hill to obtain the ultimate comeback for a top position in the music industry.

The concept of the show is this: DruHill, with Sweat's assistance, is on a mission to get back on top with the release of InDRUpendence Day. To do so, they have to go through Sweat's Bootcamp exercises in order to rebuild the brotherhood lost when the group broke up several years ago. Of course, with Sisqó, Nokio, Jazz and newest member Tao, the drama is taken to new heights. Expect to see personalities clash, and hopefully, lessons learned.

Keith Sweat's Platinum House, premieries on Monday, June 28 at 8:00 P.M. on Centric. For more information, visit www.centrictv.com.

Willlow Smith

The Newest Rising Fasionista!

 

Image

Jada and Will Smith's fashionista daughter, Willow Smith, has been making headlines lately. Her daring style has caught the attention of red carpet spectators and tons of bloggers. She sure knows how to make a statement.  Rumor has it that the-nine-year-old will be releasing an album soon. Jada spilled the secret in the latest issue of Ambassador Magazine:

"I have always had a love for music, always, always, and always. I probably started to pursue it a little late in life. But it was always a passion of mine. I had always been too afraid to venture into music, but I decided when I was about 30 to just go for it. I started a metal band called Wicked Wisdom. I toured and I loved it. But soon after, my kids’ careers started taking off, so I sacrificed it. I am pleased to say my daughter, Willow, will be putting out an album soon and I look forward to enjoying music through her creations. So I am excited about that, and she’s pretty awesome. She will be better at it then I ever could be anyway! (Laughs)"

What kind of future do you see for the budding nine-year old starlet?
