Melanie Brown To Star In Show For Nickelodeon
JUN 10, 2008 AT 08:54 AM
If you can't get someone to cast you, write your own script and make yourself the star! That's exactly what Melanie Brown did for Nickelodeon and will begin shooting this Christmas.
Melanie compares her new sitcom to Hannah Montana.
"I’ve written my own sitcom that’s just been picked up by Nickelodeon that I start at Christmas. I’m the star of it. It’s a bit like Hannah Montana, but the black version."

I am glad that she has gotten back in shape and is feeling good about herself. I do feel bad that the boob job has made that weird cleavage. I forget what that is called but its not good and I am sure she will have to have it fixed.
I keep hearing reports that she's lying like crazy! I think she's become an attention whore like all the others!

i heard that too! that was my first thought. maybe she's lying about this.
generally speaking i don't think its the best idea to say that your show is just like another show, because that is somewhat implying that you ripped it off and it isn't an original idea...
Oh, and what happened to "wanting to focus on her music?" didn't she say thats why she turned a role down in the SATC movie? Yet she's doing this new show, has that show on TLC and everything else?

Ok....its a bit like Hannah Montana but a black version, and an older woman version! wtf
UGH I hate when black people HAVE to say that their shows like so and so show just the black version. I don't care what race you are, I can see it myself. Make your show original!!!
This really ticks me off. Just imagine for a second if a white celebrity decided to come out with a white versionof a black show. They would have the NAACP, ACLU and every other racist black person after them (yes, i mean the Jesse Jacksons, Farrakhans, etc.). And then black wonder why racism is still alive in this country! It's becasue blacks like her continue to promote it.

Totally agree and don't care what anyone else thinks. Racism is not okay if it's white people making comments but apparently it is if it's the other way around. Makes me sick.
There is nothing racist about what she said. White people are really starting to annoy me with that crap.
You guys are getting waaaaaaaaayyyyyyy too deep for this subject matter.
?
Calm down, Hannah Montana herself is a rip off, so how can you rip off a rip off?
?
Puh-leeezzzzzz.....
??
Can't we all just get along?
how bout u keep ur cmnts 2 ur self.
I think you wait for a critic to call it the Black version that way you can still act like it was a semi-original idea

Yeah, she has her "black hannah montana" show just like she is going to be on brodways Legally Blonde, and like she was going to be the new judge on XFactor. She is a liar who needs to learn to keep her mouth shut.
She is a talentless trife ass hoe. Nothing more then that. 2 kids by 2 different guys yet she is married to a totally different guy who is NOT the father of either child. What a pathetic mess.
What a loser..these ppl always want attendtion
To all of you who don't like the fact that she labels it a black version. TOO DAMN BAD!
Why don't you take black people's place and let's rewind this country's history and you be the slave. You be denied an education and if your caught trying to read, you get your hads cut off. Or, how about you have your ancestors lynched and burned while us black people take kodak moments with our children in tow.
Why don't you guys experience the White Only stores, restrooms and restaurants. Why don't we write in the new constitution as you did, and instead of it being "It takes 3 black men to equal one white man, let's flip the script and put that in reverse.
Its too damn bad that you don't like racism because your ancestors invented it. And now, you want to complain because of a statement black people make regarding it being a black version?
Miss me with this mess. If you turn on your television right now, you would be hard presssed to even find a show or commercial on television that is not 90% white with the token black or token asian, etc.
Your spoiled and too use to White privilege that this country has afforded you off of black slaves back. And you can't even deal with a statement?
Oh, when the last become first!!!!!!
oh shut up with all that slavery shit. i'm black and i'm sick and tired of having that thrown around all the time. yes, it was horrible. yes, it set blacks back. but you know what? we've moved on, haven't we?! we're equal now, so what the fuck is the problem. it's history. we've learned from it and we've excelled so far past it. we've overcome what happened, so quit using it to guilt trip people!
THANKYOU!!!! I agree whole heartedly im black too! Yes slavery was awful and yeah there are some racist left in the world but not everyone is so please stop throwing slavery into peoples faces cause the pity thing went out the window years ago
Knowing your history is a good way to understand why things are the way they are today. Stop listening to what Fox News tells you and go read a book by WEB Dubois.
oh please shut the fuck up, you are not black.
you're not fooling anybody
This woman is just another fame whore. She even comes complete with the bad boob job. They look joined together at the bottom and she still flaunts them! Sure she was offered a role in SATC. What would it have been? Carrie's assistant? Can't see this woman being in second place to anyone in her own mind.
i agree ya'll ain't black u fucking white
What's wrong with you people...What did she said that was racist...She obviously like hannah montana or she would not have compared her show to it...MORONS
omg i don't see the point here in arguing about racism or the fact that shes a liar. All in all the woman is looking to promote her career and she has every right to. Whether she is lying or has a chance to continue her career is obviously unknown as of yet. So frankly stop your quarreling and get on with your life.
isn't she like 40?
her being the star of a nickelodeon show is kinda strange
whhhooaaa hold up now dat is sum racist shyt
jus cuz she said da 'black version' dat makes u upset?
so if it was a white person or 'anglo- saxon' that said dat she was makin da white version 2 girlfriends or the parkers etc. do u think black ppl wud get mad? if u think so u r wrong. on da other hand i wud b mad because shes rippin off sum1 elses show... nd its not like shes a teenager, so uh-uh not gonna happen. nd im tired of ppl feelin srry 4 blak ppl (yes i am blak) but dat dont mean a thing. it jus makes me mad 2 c these racial slurs by random ppl
it is aftr all her opinion
nd ps.. nobody lives in a perfect world where every1 is exactly equal
~~ until ppl can set aside differences, racist will always occur~~

Please learn how to spell dear.
I don't think MLK said "the content of mi character"...I'm sure he had a little education there, sweet pea. Black people are not oppressed anymore. GET OVER IT!
