MTV Reality Stars Invade 'The Tyra Banks Show' Tomorrow

March 25, 2008

JC ChasezThis week, America's Next Top Model will have to take a temporary back seat to Tyra Banks' other baby, The Tyra Banks Show.  Tomorrow's broadcast is just too chockfull of MTV's current headliners not to tell our readers about.

How's this for America's Next Top Model's creator's line-up on her Tyra Banks Show tomorrow:  former `N Sync member JC Chasez along with one of the groups he now judges on America's Best Dance Crew.  The hour will also feature A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila alum, Domenico, discussing his own reality show, That's Amore.  Finally, the guys and gals from Day26 and Danity Kane also stop by, fresh from the just-wrapped up latest edition of Making the Band.

Season 2 of 'Making the Band 4' Sealed with a Kiss and Details for 'Making the Band 5'

March 24, 2008

MTB4Last night, season 2 of Making the Band 4 came to a close via a two-hour finale complete with live performances from Danity Kane, Day26 and Donnie J, as well as a major announcement courtesy of Diddy.  To recap the premise for the just-concluded second season, the members of Danity Kane from Making the Band 3 and the boys from Making the Band 4's first season, were all thrust under one roof to cohabit with each other while completing their own respective albums.  Near the start of the season, Diddy finally christened the all-male quintet winner from season 1, naming the group, Day26.

Read on for highlights of last night's Making the Band 4 second season wrap-up courtesy of The Young, Black & Fabulous or YBF.

Making the Band: Danity Kane to Headline Local Radio Station's Anniversary Bash

March 10, 2008

Danity Kane Danity Kane, the all-female singing sensation forged through MTV's Making the Band series, will be headlining the 10th anniversary celebration of U92.7 FM on Saturday, April 12 at the Riverside County Fairgrounds in Indio, California.  Headlining the “massive” event with Danity Kane is Bay Area rapper E-40.

This will serve as Danity Kane's first concert in Coachella Valley.  Aubrey O'Day, one of the group's members, said in an interview with U92.7's “Morning Show” that this valley is the only home region of any of the girls that Danity Kane has not performed.

Making the Band: Donnie and Qwanell Straighten Things Out

March 3, 2008

Qwanell calling up DawnDuring the fourth episode of Making the Band 4 (Season 2), tension rose between solo artist Donnie and DAY26 band member Qwanell after a “little joke” quickly turned ugly.  Coming off from a successful date with Danity Kane's Aubrey, Donnie and the guys decided to meet with some girls, and while out partying the night away, Qwanell, eager for some company and to play a joke on his castmate, called Dawn and invited her and the girls, including Aubrey, to join them.  Long story short, Aubrey got upset with Donnie when she saw him flirting with other girls, and Donny felt betrayed by Qwanell.

However, all has been forgiven, and the two each posted an entry on their iamonmtv.com's blogs explaining what really happened that night on Making the Band.

Day 26 Members Discuss 'Making the Band 4' Journey

February 28, 2008

Making the Band's Day 26Viewers first saw Willie, Qwanell, Brian A., Michael and Robert on the first season of Making the Band 4, in which they competed against other aspiring singing superstars.  The five of them were ultimately named the winners of the competition, but the next task at hand has proven to be quite challenging: for the second season of Making the Band 4, music producer Diddy has instructed them to finish their debut album in only five weeks.

"We've all worked really hard,” Qwanell, who turned down a college scholarship to appear in season 1, told CTV.ca, “and the show's made everyone a better artist.  I think Diddy is a genius for putting us all together."
