(Updated Again) Naturals on a New Season of TV...



The full cast....
The modern re-make of Steel Magnolias is debuting on Lifetime on Sunday, October 7th at 9:00 p.m. Tune in to see Phylicia Rashad (Clarice), Alfre Woodard (Oiser), Condola Rashad (Shelby), Jill Scott (Truvy), and Adeporo Oduye (Annelle).  The ladies also did some promotional shots for the movie, so I added a few below:

Glamour shot, Adeporo Oduye as Annelle.
I think her hair was styled with a small roller set.
Fab, as usual, Jill Scott as Truvy.
Pressed, weaved?

Here are some photos from the premier:

The networks have been holding their upfronts  - or previews for the upcoming television season over the past few weeks. There are many new and interesting shows coming, and guess what?! Naturals have made it to prime time...I guess that's happened before, but it is nice to see that black women are being shown in more than one light, and all over network television.

Tempestt Bledsoe of the Cosby Show (a childhood favorite), is back on NBC with the show, Guys With Kids, where she co-stars as Anthony Anderson's (Gary) wife, Marny. The show premiers Wednesday, September 26th at 8:30 p.m. 

They have twins on the show!



Also, we saw some pictures of Kimberly Elise last week, when her new show, Bounce, was picked up by VH1 as its second scripted television show. It will also star Dean Cain (remember Lois & Clark?) and Charlotte Ross. It's about a professional dance team for the most popular basketball team in the league. Kimberly Elise plays a former "Devil Girl", whose daughter is now a current member of the squad. No date or time has been announced for the premier episode.


'Fro in full effect....

Straight - how do you like it?
Looks healthy.... Do you think
it will be straight on the show?






I also came across a photo for a new comedy, Emily Owens, M.D., about an intern's first year at a hospital and all of the cliques and politics and pressures, and saw that the cast included a natural. Her name is Kelly McCreary while her character, Tyra Granger, seems like she will play the best friend/sidekick role. And apparently, the young lady on the far right, Aja Naomi King (Cassandra Kopelson), plays her popular high school nemesis and fellow intern. The show will premier Tuesday, October 16th at 9:00 p.m.
