If you???re a fan of the talk show Chelsea Lately, then listen up! MTV announced that the raunchy comedian Chelsea Handler will host the MTV (VIA) VMA live show Sept. 12th. Bet they're hiring extra censor people. It's certainly going to be an interesting year. Justin Bieber and Kanye West will reportedly perform together along with Eminem. Lady Gaga probably will be on stage more often than Handler considering she's up for 13 nominations. Will you watch? Are you a fan of Chelsea???s? What do you think of MTV's decision to hire Chelsea as a host?

BET (VIA) celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. What better way to celibrate than with a makeover. The network is trying to shake the less than positive imagery of the black community???the hyper-sexualized music videos with negative views by taking the brand global and a new channel, Centric, aimed at older adults. By this, BET is on a path to retaining the positives of its heritage???giving the black audience programming they want???and maintaining relevancy in an age where so much talk about the country being in a "post-racial era" leaves things far from black and white. Beginning this fall, the network had resurrected The Game, a CW sitcom that had been canceled. BET noted that the show had a cult following and managed to bring it back, announcing new episodes will be produced for the fall. What do you think of the BET network?

For those of you haven???t seen Paramount Pictures (VIA) Tropic Thunder???you don???t know what you???ve been missing! Then you may not be familiar with Les Grossman, the foul-mouthed agent/"producer" with a Ludacris soundtrack. Who can forget Tom Cruise as Grossma. Fans, he isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Paramount and MTV Films (VIA) announced that they???re ready to give Grossman his very own untitled movie project to star in. Cruise, along with Ben Stiller and Stuart Cornfeld of Red Hour Films will produce and have secured the life rights to Grossman. Rumor has it Cruise is up for an Emmy for this role. (I didn't know the Emmy's had an "outstanding use of excessive swearing" category.) What do you think? Are you a fan of Les Grossman?
