Nowadays, the best way to make a comeback or sell an album is to chronicle your life on the boob tube. And sticking with this formula, Da Brat and Michelle Williams are getting reality shows.
Speaking with The Jasmine Brand, Phil Thornton, executive producer of “R&B Divas” and the Los Angeles- and Atlanta-based offshoots of the hit TV One show, confirmed that he will feature Da Brat on an “R&B Divas”-like program, but for female rappers. Thornton added that the show will be slightly different from “Divas,” though.
What’s really surprising is that Thornton is also developing a reality series for Michelle Williams, who he says is really a funny person and he wants to show that side of her to the world. Personally, I’ve always found Michelle to be rather milquetoast, always letting Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland outshine her. And who can forget her ho-hum appearance on “Styled By June”? But then again, that show was tragic anyway … Maybe it is time for Michelle to show her true self to fans and critics (ahem, Keyshia Cole).
Also in the works, said Thornton, is a docu-series featuring Tyler Perry-favorite Tamela Mann and her family – now that one I’ll have to pass on.
