Basketball Wives | Tasha Marbury To Join Season 5

Stephon & Tasha Marbury

It is rumored that Latasha “Tasha” Marbury the wife of ex-NBA star Stephon Marbury is in talks to join season 5 of Basketball Wives. Tasha is friends with some of the wives already and VH1 needs to fill the spot of fired cast mates, Royce Reed, Jennifer Williams and Kesha Nichols. Currently Stephon plays in China for the Beijing Ducks. Tasha was also allegedly asked to join season 1 of VH1′s hit series, but Stephon said no, may be the call of the USA made him change his mind and notoriety that will follow and the mega bucks these women are paid. There is no word if Evelyn Lozada will be coming back as yet.

Evelyn Lozada's Blog from Monday 3/19

I thought it was really cool and nice to see that side of Kesha’s family and for her to share her hometown with the viewers.  I believe as friends it’s important to know where someone comes from.  When I think about it as close as I was to Jennifer I didn’t really know that much about her.  I didn’t even meet her Mom until she got married even though we’d been friends for eight years at that point…Odd!

And was it me or did that conversation between Tami and Jennifer seem really fake? She knew damn well that she had no intentions of inviting Tami or Shaunie to her event.  That shows you how she really is…if you can’t see it…then I don’t know what to tell you.

And who the hell does Royce think she is, Dr. F’N Phil, with all of her opinions. Tami has been nothing but loyal to Royce and in my opinion is the only reason Royce is still even relevant. I’m just saying. She needs to be real careful with that, I’m just saying.  Moving right along…I can’t lie, I was so NERVOUS to meet with Baby. Although you guys only saw one car, he came through with 4 or 5 cars and an entourage of people to meet lil` ole me! I was honored and am so excited to be a part of Cash Money Content. The Cash Money family has been extremely supportive of everything that I’m doing, so although I feel a lot of pressure, I’m going to work my butt off to promote The Wives Association.

Remember, The Wives Association: Inner Circle comes out on June 5^th and you can pre-order your copy now on Amazon.com. LOL!  One last thing: Production didn’t show this but I wanted to mention that Baby’s daughter and Lil Wayne’s daughter are coming out with their own children’s book about their lives. I really wish they had aired Baby talking about that because people are always intrigued and wonder what their daughter’s lives are like. For the young ladies to collaborate on a book is amazing and hopefully this will get kids out there to read!

Now, on to the dinner…

The reason why we were laughing during Kenya’s speech is because that was only our third time filming with her so for her to even feel like she wanted to give a speech, shocked the shit out of us. We didn’t know Kenya from a can of paint and it was all very strange.

Oh Suzie…that alcohol is a BEAST. You know, I grew up on welfare; I had my daughter on welfare and on WIC. No one wants to be reminded of those hardships during a birthday dinner in front of everyone. However, if Suzie were sober, she would have NEVER said that. Listen, I am going to be all the way real!  We were all having a cool time and I was buzzed prior to the second toast to Shaunie, so I know how Suzie must have felt because had I been sober, I would have never given that second speech.  I’m glad I made that comment about loyalty though because being a “loyal friend” is important to me and Shaunie has been a loyal friend that has NEVER changed.

What makes me so angry is that Jen really doesn’t get it and she keeps telling people she doesn’t understand why I’m so angry. AGAIN, when you are supposed to be a LOYAL friend, you just don’t go popping off at the mouth on the radio or turn to a blog to talk crap about your friend and her man. Jen isn’t the type of person to sincerely apologize and this is where a portion of my anger lies. Jen’s thought process really is that transparent!  Because she’s a college graduate and grew up a certain she thinks she’s better than everyone else. My thing is, even if that was my situation, I would never talk down to anyone else or ever talk about someone’s livelihood or how much money they have in the bank during an argument.I don’t care about any of those things and would never attack where someone came from.

There is so much going on behind the scenes that you guys don’t see.  It may look like I’m getting angry for no reason but there is so much more to the story and I can’t WAIT for you all to see the real deal. As the show progresses I promise you ALL will have an A-HA moment and be truly AMAZED.

In spite of what was aired, we were all so excited to be at Shaunie’s dinner! It wasn’t all drama, I promise! I’m hoping on the next week’s episode, production will air some of the REAL fun we had.

Until next Monday…

Tami Roman’s Thoughts On Basketball Wives Episode 5: “It’s Not My Job To Blog, BUT I’m Going To Do It Anyway”

This season is bringing out the writer in everyone on Basketball Wives, that’s for sure. Between Jennifer andEvelyn‘s blogs, plus the regular recap that Royce posts for VH1, we’re getting a ton of insider information and multiple sides to every storyline on the show, and for the past couple weeks, Tami Roman has thrown her two cents in on her website as well. So what’s Tami have to say about Monday night’s episode? Read for yourself. (As always, the ladies are verbose, so we have abbreviated this post and pulled some of the best quotes, but do yourself a favor and read the entire thing on Tami’s site.) Keep reading till the end, Tami definitely has some choice words not just for her cast mates but for her producers as well.

It’s Not My Job to Blog, BUT I’m going To Do It Anyway

Watching this episode made it official…it’s my turn to play the angry black woman. I don’t want to address to many things because I will see all of these ladies at the reunion and I’m much more of a face to face person, but here goes…

Suzie
I want you to pay for my next therapy session because that is what saved your life at that birthday dinner. You have a bad habit of saying the wrong stuff at the wrong time. Now, I have forgiven you for that brief glitch in your brain, but that is the absolute LAST time you’re going to get a pass. I do like you and I know you are “simple” at times, so I’m willing to put this past us.

Kenya
You hit the nail on the head and you know I think your ass is crazy, but you SAID that last night. I’m not a bad person, but I deal with people a certain way and I try to be upfront. I asked both you and Keisha to just come talk to me…you did that and she didn’t. I don’t respect a woman who isn’t forthright, especially at 30 something years old. Regarding your speech…girl go sit the hell down. That ish was crazy! You don’t even know Shaunie like that – you had been around her all of two times when you made that speech. It was supposed to be heartfelt, but you made it really awkward for her at her own party. Although, I hope they show you singing…now that was classic…

Jennifer
In the moment, your apology seemed sincere, but watching it back…girl, why you lie in my face…Sidebar: Your speech was comical. People really had to hear the whole thing because between you and Kenya, I have NEVER seen anything like it. You made a speech about yourself and tried to pass it off as something special to Shaunie. I hope VH1 releases the uncut version of some of these moments. I’m just saying…

Royce and Kesha

That little meeting in the country store – again the main crux of my beef with Kesha was edited out. In that moment Kesha said she would’ve went off on me, but she didn’t want to embarrass me. I see where this show is going and I have to take the good with the bad. Kesha will be the “edited” version of a victim and I will be made to look like the angry Black woman or the bully. It is what it is because I accept full responsibility for my REACTIONS. Other than that, NO words, speechless…I can’t…

Evelyn
Your face was priceless last night! Now here is the thing…you nor I handle things properly once we get heated….That clutch to the dome was funny as hell though. Your aim, the precision…chiiiilllleeeee.

PS- Shed and the editors, whatever Kesha is paying you, I’ll double it just so the viewers can get the truth. I can’t wait to see how you screw me over with the Tahiti footage.

Basketball Wives 4 Super Trailer!

Watch The Basketball Wives Season 4 Trailer! Plus Evelyn Lozada’s Fiance Chad Ochocinco To Change Name!

Whoa drama! VH1 has just released the all new season four trailer for Basketball Wives, and folks, it does not disappoint!

In the five-minute clip below, the ladies offer us screaming matches, table fights and of course bitch slaps! And unfortunately for Jennifer Williams, it appears she is out of the circle, perhaps for good.

We had heard about the falling out between former BFFs Jen and Evelyn Lozada, but in the clip below, it’s pretty clear there is no love lost between the two ladies. Not only does Evelyn repeatedly threaten Jen with violence, but Evelyn’s assistant even goes as far as to slap Jen in one the scenes. Yikes. Jen reportedly filed a police report following that incident.

Also bringing the drama are newbies Kenya Bell and Kesha Nichols, as Kenya seems to be the new Meeka Claxton, getting into it with most of the cast, while Kesha attempts to go toe to toe with Tami Roman. Poor Kesha doesn’t stand a chance! The season trailer is below!

No word yet on when we can expect the “You Ain’t About This Life” t-shirts from Ms. Evelyn, but you all know it’s coming!

And speaking of Evelyn, she continues to insist the wedding no one thinks is going to happen will indeed take place. According to TMZ, Evelyn and her NFL fiance Chad Ochocinco’s continue to plan their July wedding.

So can we expect Evelyn to change her name to Mrs. Ochocinco? That answer is no according to TMZ. The reason? Chad is planning to legally change his last name back to the one he was born with before his wedding date. And just in case you forgot what that name was, it is ‘Johnson.’

The new season of Basketball Wives premieres Feb. 20 on VH1.
