Following a snowball of speculation, it was today confirmed that Rocsi Diaz and Terrence J, hosts of BET’s 106 & Park, will be leaving the show after seven years.

Stephen J. Hill, President of Music Programming & Specials for BET Networks, announced the news in a statement:

“Today, after seven exciting years, 106 & Park hosts Terrence J and Rocsi announced that they will be leaving the show. It is no secret that there are a number of opportunities coming their way and we’re fortunate that they’ve been with 106 & Park for so long. They will be staying on the show for a while, so that we can have a “victory lap” — a celebration of their years at the helm of 106 & Park— before their departure. Terrence J and Rocsi are destined for great success and we at BET Networks will always take pride in being their original home — and be a place where I hope they’ll always feel welcome.”

*******

The duo made the emotional announcement on-air during today’s 106 & Park, recounting stories from their years on the show. “The first day I cracked the mic on 106, I was staying on a cot in a basement,” Terrence said, with Rocsi adding, “Until the moment we leave, we pledge to bring you young Black culture. It continues to be our honor to do this for you.”

“We are humbled at the opportunity to be a part of your lives,” Terrence concluded, promising that “we have a huge farewell show coming for you guys. We’re going to be leaving with a bang.” {Source}

Undoubtedly a polarizing pair, their departure begs many a question. What will the fate of 106 be? Who’ll replace them? Will you still watch? Needless to say, interesting times lay ahead.

In a further bid to push his latest flick ‘Men In Black 3′ to the masses, Will Smith took to BET‘S ‘106 & Park‘ yesterday to dish on the movie and the fun he had making it.

However, his appearance saw him flaunt a lot more than is promo skills. For, in honor of his days as a Rapper, the actor free styled for the show’s audience.

In news that will no doubt delight fans of The Boondocks, its host network Adult Swim have confirmed the hotly anticipated fourth season of the show.

No dates, nor plot, were revealed in the announcement. However, the shot above was shared, whipping up ample excitement online.

And understandably so.

Ever since roaring onto the small screen in 2005, the politically incorrect comedy (created by Aaron McGruder) has garnered a fiercely loyal fanbase – including us here at That Grape Juice TV! It’s a fanbase who have waited patiently during the series’ lengthy hiatuses – the most recent lasting two years.

It goes without saying, then, that we’ll be watching. Will you?

Love them or hate them, Reality TV stars are hot property in today’s world- turning otherwise fame seeking hopefuls  into multi-media darlings.

So, in honor of their impact, VIBE called on Atlanta’s Kandi Burruss, Basketball ‘wife’ Evelyn Lozada, Love & Hip Hop star Chrissy Lampkin and Braxton sister Tamar for their June/July 2012 SEXY ISSUE.

Peep excerpts from their spread before it hits news stands below:

VIBE: Star Jones started a petition,lashing out against women and violence on reality TV. What’s your reaction?
Evelyn: [Bursts into laughter] I think she’s going to have to get a whole lot of names. Actually, I like the petition and I like the controversy because I’ve learned controversy is good.

But I think she’s irrelevant. And she’s using our coattails to get relevant again. Nobody gives a f*ck about her.

Do any of you see yourselves as role models?

Chrissy: I guess if somebody is afraid to speak their mind and wanna stand up for themselves, then yes. I want people to realize that they can have whatever they want.

You can be respected in your relationship exactly the way you want to be. It’s up to you to go get it.

Some of the stuff is a little heavy, but you’re not going to be exposed to crazy situations in life just by watching reality TV. You can go to the corner store and see crazy shit going on. You can go to school and see crazy shit.Don’t put it all on me.

Kandi: You would never imagine how many people come up to me on the street: “How could you be a part of that? It’s a disgrace to Black people.” I’m on a show called Real Housewives and I’m not married so I guess I represent single mothers out there who are handling their business and trying to take things to the next level.

So when people say, “You shouldn’t be on the show, it’s like, “Well, who do you want to go on there? More people you don’t like?”

So you’re saying the producers orchestrated the violence?

Chrissy: Absolutely. They would go as far as telling the new girl, “Chrissy thinks she’s Queen Bee around here so we need you to step up because nobody here has a strong enough personality.

We need you to shut it down.” They were feeding people this negative energy from the door. I have no reason to lie.
