VH1 RELEASES "Hollywood Exes" PROMO Pics STARRING Nicole Murphy, Sheree Fletcher, Mayte Garcia & Andrea Kelly

Earlier today, VH1 introduced the promo pics from one of their hottest new reality shows, "Hollywood Exes."  Come inside and meet the ex-wives of Eddie Murphy, Prince, Will Smith, Jose Canseco and R. Kelly and get the deets on their show.

Nicole Murphy,  the gorgeous ex-wife of Eddie Murphy (married 13 years), is bringing a few of her gal pals along for a drama-filled reality show starring the ex-wives of some of the biggest names in entertainment.

Beginning Wednesday, June 27 at 9PM, we will enter the lives of Jessica Canseco, Sheree Fletcher, Mayte Garciaand Andrea Kelly as they navigate the social scene in Hollywood WITHOUT the benefit of their ex-husband's wealth, fame or A-list cache.  The 10 one-hour episodes promise to pull back the velvet rope on Hollywood's A-List and show what happens after high-profile couples breakup.  And since many of the ladies have known each for years, perhaps a salacious tidbit or two may slip from someone's mouth during an argument!   

The show's premise can't be denied as I think most folks would love to meet the women who were married to some of the most interesting men in Hollywood.

Meet the other ladies.........

Sheree Fletcher (ex-wife of Will Smith – married 3 years).

Mayte Garcia (ex-wife of Prince – married 3 years).

Jessica Canseco (ex-wife of Jose Canseco – married 4 years).

Andrea Kelly (ex-wife of R. Kelly – married 12 years).

Jeff Olde, Executive Vice President, Original Programming & Production, VH1 said, “These extraordinarily strong women adjusted to and endured a lot while their ex-spouses won fame and fortune defining pop culture for that moment. Now these women must re-invent themselves again, stepping out of the long shadows cast by their famous husbands and supporting each other as they define the next stage of their lives – this time on their own terms.”

Brandy Talks Falling In Love With Boys II Men’s Wayna, Faux Marriage & Tragic Accident On VH1′s Behind The Music

Last night, VH1 aired a revealing segment of VH1′s ‘Behind The Music’ featuring Brandy. During the hour long special, Brandy went into great detail about having to lie about her love life twice in her career, suffering from an eating disorder and her unfortunate involvement in a car crash that left a mother of two dead on a Los Angeles highway. Brandy didn’t hold much back as she revealed how she first linked up with Boyz II Men for a tour during which she fell in love with member Wanya Morris. After the two started dating, she shared her secret with management and was told the two couldn’t date publicly because he was older and it wasn’t consistent with her image. This led Brandy down a lonely, broken-hearted road that eventually became the inspiration for her sophomore album (and best album to date) ‘Never Say Never’.

Brandy went on to detail her relationship with producer Robert Smith before she got pregnant and had to lie to the public about being married to preserve her good girl image. She said that him going on Wendy Williams’ radio show and spilling the beans that it was all a lie in 2004 was a brutal blow to her, but now today she doesn’t wish it went any other way. One thing she does regret, however, was the unfortunate car crash and she detailed the effects it has had on her life and her career as well as people who taunt her about it on a daily basis.

Check out the excerpts below, plus watch the full episode below

On getting the call from Wayna Morris of Boyz II Men (who invited her on tour) 
I was like, “Wanya as in Wayna Morris of Boyz II Men is calling on this phone, really?” So we met, and of course as a 15-year-old I’m looking up at him like, “Oh, my God is this really happening?”
On falling in love with Wanya but couldn’t tell anyone
I’m just in love with somebody but can’t tell them. Too young to tell him. I can’t really tell my mom because she’ll have a heart attack as a mother and manager. What will I do?
One day I got the courage to tell Wanya how I felt. I just told him that I loved him and thanked him for making me feel the way I feel because I had never felt that way before. He was just like, ‘Wow.’ The relationship took a transition, and we became a couple. I was on a high. It was love. It was real love.
On telling her management that she was dating Wanya
Immediately everything was about my career. What are you teaching young girls? Do they fall in love at a young age? Is that wrong? Is that a sin? It just made me feel like I was all by myself and that whatever I’m feeling personally is going to have to be put to the side.
[ --they had to keep their relationship a secret. For 2 years they carried on an intense secret relationship. She couldn’t hold hands, give a smooch or anything the people our age dating would normally do.]
On breaking up with Wayna
He fell in love with someone else. The worst feeling is to be in love all by yourself. That feels f*cked up, honestly. It does and that’s the only way I can really put it. It felt like somebody had completely taken my heart out of my body and just crushed it.
On created the Never Say Never album after her break-up with Wanya
It wasn’t about just getting great songs and riding the charts. It was I need to get some sh*t off my chest. It was me really coming into my own and not being afraid to be vulnerable. Not be afraid to sing what I felt for real.
On breaking the news to her family she was pregnant by Robert Smith after they had been dating a whileThat was something that was not okay for the Brandy brand. That wasn’t cool. I was raised with the Christian foundation that it’s a sin to get pregnant out of wedlock, that’s not allowed so I was scared. I didn’t know what to do.
Everybody around me is trying to force me to get married and so I said, “Why don’t I just say I’m married? Because I don’t want to get married. So why don’t I just say it.” It was the biggest mistake I had ever made.

Brandy on Robert outing her on Wendy Williams and revealing that they were never married
If I was woman enough to lay down and get pregnant by someone then I should’ve been woman enough to admit that that’s what took place. I’m telling my team and everybody around me I have to say I’m sorry. “No, no, no you can’t say that you’re sorry. We have to twist this and turn it. Although, at the time I wished that he would’ve taken a different approach but I’m glad he didn’t looking back because to be able to tell that truth and to now live that truth with a beautiful daughter at my hip, I feel much better about myself that I can come clean and say ’I was afraid. I was scared. I was lost. I didn’t know what to do.”
The lie about being married was the fall of my career. Everything changed. Everything changed.

On her involvement in a tragic car accident
The day the accident happened it was just a gloomy, gloomy day. Something wasn’t right in the air. I was just driving home, and it happened. It was a blur, and it was one of those experiences that you wish would never happen to anybody. But it did, and it was one of the worst times in my life.
Someone lost their life and now everyone is saying that I’m the one to blame. Regardless if it was my fault or not my fault, I was involved in something that caused someone their life. Whoever’s fault it was, I was in it.
I would hear what people would say and still to this day people know that that’s a button. They know that they can call me a murderer or call me someone that killed someone. They know that that is a button for me. A murderer is someone who premeditates it. I didn’t wake up that day to be involved in a fatal car crash. I didn’t plan for that, and if I could take it back I would.
[--In December of 2007 after a year long investigation prosecutors found that it was insufficient evidence to charge Brandy with any crimes.]
I just wanted people to know that this wasn’t news. It’s not something that should be talked about like it’s gossip. If you don’t like me, fine. But don’t use this situation to try to hurt me because the guilt of being involved is enough and it’s something that I will never truly, truly get over ever.

Erica Mena Says She Was Misrepresented On ‘Love & Hip Hop’

It appears that model Erica Mena let VH1 bring the ‘Bronx Bish’ out of her and now she’s crying foul. She recently revealed to TMZ, that the fight between her and Kimbella that aired on Monday night’s episode of ‘Love and Hip Hop’ has put a major block on her modeling career. Erica says she believes VH1 purposely made her look like the bad guy, all while painting Kimbella as a saint and she tried her best to get the clip pulled before it aired on TV.



My whole image in my career is now affected by this. I wanted them to pull this clip because I don’t want to show this side of me.

Even though Erica felt as though she was misrepresented, she admitted to Vibe last month that she would have pounced on Kimbella whether the cameras were rolling or not:

[Kimbella] throwing that glass at me—like I said, whether cameras are there or not, how I reacted is just how I would react for any situation, whether I was on the show or not. Obviously my words hurt her so she decided to become a Basketball Wife and throw a glass at me so I had to be a Bronx b*tch and snuff her. It plays out how it plays out. I can’t really get into that point right now but that moment did backfire on me. There is the bad, there is the ugly, it is what it is [...]

Even Kimbella has a story of her own to tell. She has the rags-to-riches story and basically she got lucky and sucked the right d*ck but she has her own story to tell. I have my story to tell. So at the end of the day, it’s unfortunate having what happened to us. She threw the glass at me and like any one of us would do, I’ma wax that ass, regardless whether I’m on camera or not. You can’t really feed into the critics because at the end of the day, if we didn’t have talking, if we didn’t have half the stuff that we have going on, there wouldn’t be much of a buzz. I had to throw down. I had to protect myself and whether I was on TV or not, I would’ve done it. So you know as it stands for me, I’m just kinda like, it’s time to really get to the main focus of what we are here for and that’s just to tell the story about our lives and what’s going on with us.

Meanwhile, she still wants everyone to know that she’s more than just a pretty face who loves to fight:

‘I’m definitely that crazy, sexy cool girl. You’re gonna see, I’m not prissy. I’m a Bronx girl so I definitely have my little wild factors. But at the same time, I’m all about my career too. I’ve never really been that kind of girl where it’s like I’m the big bully that gets that kind of attention. I never wanted that attention. My thing was to get into this whole thing and actually make it, and not be that two-minute hot girl, which tends to be the game plan for a lot of girls these days. Yeah, I’ve been in booty magazines and did music videos but guess what? I can be on Nickelodeon too if I want to! So I’m giving a different dynamic view than the average model. It’s not always about who has the bigger tits and ass, or who’s showing what. I’ve never been into that so I’m gonna make known that there’s different sides of the game and there are women that actually do this because at the end of the day, career is definitely the goal.

In Erica’s defense, we were sent a video of her work earlier this year and she seemed like a very nice, loving and ambitious girl who had her head together. Hopefully she gets her anger in check (that video of her beating up her baby’s father was not a game) and be more careful about the gigs she chooses. All money ain’t good money.
