I'm on a rant today maybe in the cases of Pooch,Tia,Terrence,and Rosci this might be for the advancement of their careers, but as a viewer since the dawn of both shows I'm a bit annoyed. Let's start off with 106th N Park it was a shock when Free and Aj left we had to see new people like every week and in my opinion it wasn't the same. I had already got adjusted to not seeing Donnie Simpson and Sherrie for all those years in the 90's, but I think Terrence and Rosci capture the essence of generations they don't just appeal to the generation born in the 2000's, but they connect with people born in the 90's and of course us who were born in the 80's. Hell some of the artist who come on the show are older than them, so what's with all this change....here is what the NYPOST is reporting:
“106 & Park” co-host Rocsi Diaz has her sights on Hollywood. The Honduran-Chilean beauty is leaving the BET show after nearly seven years and moving to California to pursue acting. Diaz already scored a role in a project starring Lynn Whitfield, we’re told. She joined “106 & Park” in 2006 after working as a radio DJ in Boston and Chicago. Her “106” sidekick, Terrence J, is also said to be leaving the show to pursue acting. Terrence is dating model Selita Ebanks.

For some reason I was doing some research a few months ago on her, because I didn't know that Brooklyn Sudano was her daughter, never made the connection. So I dug a little further and came across the picture above it's sad she's just a decade older than my mom Donna Summer, whose pulsing anthems such as "Last Dance," ''Love to Love You Baby" and "Bad Girls" became the soundtrack for a glittery age of sex, drugs, dance and flashy clothes, has died. She was 63.
Her family released a statement saying Summer died Thursday morning and that they "are at peace celebrating her extraordinary life and her continued legacy."
The family did not disclose the cause of death. She had been living in Englewood, Fla., with her husband Bruce Sudano.
"Words truly can't express how much we appreciate your prayers and love for our family at this sensitive time," the statement said.
Summer came to prominence just as disco was burgeoning, and came to define the era with a string of No. 1 hits and her luxurious hair and glossy, open lips.
Disco became as much defined by her sultry, sexual vocals — her bedroom moans and sighs — as the relentless, pulsing rhythms of the music itself.
Elton John said in a statement that Summer was more than the Queen of Disco.
"Her records sound as good today as they ever did. That she has never been inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame is a total disgrace especially when I see the second-rate talent that has been inducted," he said. "She is a great friend to me and to the Elton John AIDS Foundation and I will miss her greatly."
"Love to Love You Baby," with its erotic moans, was Summer's first hit and one of the most scandalous songs of the polyester-and-platform-heel era. The song was later sampled by LL Cool J, Timbaland and Beyonce, who interpolated the hit for her jam "Naughty Girl."
Unlike some other stars of disco who faded as the music became less popular, Summer was able to grow beyond it and later segued to a pop-rock sound. She had one of her biggest hits in the 1980s with "She Works Hard for the Money," which became another anthem, this time for women's rights.
Soon after, Summer became a born-again Christian and faced controversy when she was accused of making anti-gay comments in relation to the AIDS epidemic. Summer denied making the comments, but was the target of a boycott.
Religion played an important role in her life in later years, said Michael Levine, who briefly worked as her publicist.
"She was very committed to God, spirituality and religion. Her passion in her life, besides music, was God, spirituality and religion. She held a bible study class at her home every week," he said.
Summer, real name LaDonna Adrian Gaines, was born in 1948 in Boston. She was raised on gospel music and became the soloist in her church choir by age 10.
"There was no question I would be a singer, I just always knew. I had credit in my neighborhood, people would lend me money and tell me to pay it back when I got famous," Summer said in a 1989 interview with The Associated Press.
"Love to Love You Baby," released in 1975, was her U.S. chart debut and the first of 19 No. 1 dance hits between 1975 and 2008 — second only to Madonna.
The song was a breakthrough hit for Summer and for disco — a legend of studio ecstasy and the genre's ultimate sexual anthem.
Summer came up with the idea of the song and first recorded it as a demo in 1975, on the condition that another singer perform it commercially. But Casablanca Records president Neil Bogart liked the track so much that he suggested to producer Giorgio Morodor they re-record it, and make it longer — what would come to be known as a "disco disc."
Summer had reservations about the lyrics — "Do it to me again and again" — but imagined herself as a movie star playing a part. So she agreed to sing, lying down on the studio floor, in darkness, and letting her imagination take over. Solo and multitracked, she whispered, she groaned, she crooned. Drums, bass, strings and keyboards answered her cries. She simulated climax so many times that the BBC kept count: 23, in 17 minutes.
Through the rest of the disco era she burned up the charts: She was the only artist to have three consecutive double-LPs hit No. 1, "Live and More," ''Bad Girls" and "On the Radio." She was also the first female artist with four No. 1 singles in a 13-month period, according to the Rock Hall of Fame, where she was a nominee this year but was passed over.
She was never comfortable with the "Disco Queen" label. Musically, she began to change in 1979 with "Hot Stuff," which had a tough, rock 'n' roll beat. Her diverse sound helped her earn Grammy Awards in the dance, rock, R&B and inspirational categories.
Now let's go back to Derwin and Melanie, now Kelsey you saw what happened when you took Toni of Girlfriends it tanked. You already gave us one of the best ensemble cast shows on tv in awhile, then you took it away, you gave it back and then you start offing cast members who are essential to the storyline. This isn't a soap opera where you can have important cast members just disappear and still maintain your same viewing audience, I thought Stacey Dash,Terrence J, Rick Fox,Brandy, and the guy who plays Irv were all great additions to the cast, you took them away even Kelly is gone. So unless there is gonna be some miraculous plan to keep it alive during season 6, I'm guessing it will tank as well....Tia Mowry and her co-star Pooch Hall are reportedly leaving their hit series BET’s ‘The Game.’ According to HipHopHollywood, the time of Derwin Davis and his wife Melanie is coming to a close now that neither Tia Mowry nor Pooch Hall will be back for the show’s sixth season. “HipHollywood.com has learned exclusively that Tia Mowery and Pooch Hall will NOT return to BET’s highest rated show, The Game,” the website reports. Furthermore there are reports that Tia Mowry and Pooch Hall have set their sights on other projects; Mowry’s Style network reality show in particular. The network is still hoping to have the two actors come back to film an end to their storyline reports the website.
The season finale of The Game is set to air June 5. With Tia Mowry and Pooch Hall out for the program that’s struggled to pacify loyal fans to the series first profiled on The CW, the fate of actors Hosea Chanchez, Coby Bell and Wendy Raquel Robinson is unsure.
Update: Tia Mowry has confirmed reports that she’s leaving the BET program. Pooch Hall also responded to fan inquisitions about his role on the program.
