Think Like A Man doesn’t even come out in theaters until April 20, but judging from the number of red carpets and parties celebrating the film’s release, you’d think it’s been out there for a while. Yesterday we showed you some of the best shots from the film’s Atlanta premiere, and today we noticed that the New York premiere was, dare we say it, even more star-studded. Not only did almost all of the film’s stars jet up here to make the party, but some of our favorite VH1 stars were there to show support too, like Jennifer Williams, Emily Bustamante and Fabolous, and Olivia. And of course La La Anthony, who appears in the film was also on hand, though she showed off another hairstyle we’re loving, without bangs this time. Is it just us, or does this crowd look like they’re having a really good time? Some of these pics are pretty hilarious.
When Brandy and Monica stopped by Big Morning Buzz Live today, the interview paused for a moment so they could discuss how much they love Chrissy, Jim, and Olivia on Love And Hip Hop.
“Chrissy is a lot…we have similarities in the sense that I can’t keep my peace sometimes,” Monica admitted. “I like to speak exactly how I feel.” And Brandy pointed to a picture of Olivia and gushed “This girl sings.” Watch our entire interview with the superfans above.

Olivia Longott stopped by 106 And Park this week to show off her video for “Walk Away”, and while she was there, she chatted about this past season of Love And Hip Hop as well as hinting about a third season. “Yeah, we are coming back for a third season,” she said on the show. “Are you guys ready for Love And Hip Hop season three?”
Despite showing some of the rough patches in her life, Olivia still loves being on the show, saying “It’s dope because you never has shows that really showed love and hip hop and that’s really what the show is about.” And check out the clip below in which Olivia reveals that she’s not exactly what she seems on the show. “People don’t know that Olivia is a comedian,” she says. “You always see me serious on the show or it looks like I’m down because they want me to look that way, and that’s really not who I am.”
It’s true that the cast of Love And Hip Hop did not all want to film a reunion show together, so the Love And Hip Hop: Reality Check special was filmed with each castmember being interviewed separately by producer Mona Scott Young. Much like the special, which gave an inside look at the inner workings of the show, we want to give you all a glimpse at what it looked like behind the scenes on the set when the cast prepped for their interviews. Here are some of the best images taken from backstage at the shoot.

The Love And Hip Hop “reunion” was not a reunion, as you can tell. The special was more of a behind-the-scenes look at the most intense moments of the season, and to be honest, I loved getting a look at the deleted scenes and various commentaries from the full cast. As producer and host Mona Scott Young pointed out, a reunion wasn’t possible because there were certain castmembers who refused to film with one another, but this format was obviously less volatile and infinitely more informative. Let’s discuss some of the biggest reveals and moments of the show.

Right before this season of Love And Hip Hop wrapped, we saw Olivia finally get her musical vision on track. The seeds for her song “Walk Away” were planted early in the season and she worked hard all season long to create a single that wasn’t just some studio-driven, corporate schlock, and we totally applaud her independence. Especially now that the video for “Walk Away” is out and it looks great, as does Olivia. Check out “Walk Away” and if you’re so inclined, you can buy it on iTunes now.

And they all lived hapily ever after. Okay, some of them lived mostly okay ever after.

Olivia Recaps Love And Hip Hop Episode 8 And Celebrates That Her Single, “Walk Away” Is #2 On iTunes

Olivia Longott is a busy woman, but we’re so lucky and thrilled that she’s going to be giving us some exclusive episode commentary every week during this season of Love And Hip Hop.
Sorry for the delay guys, I’ve been on the road working but you know I had to check in with my weekly recap. Let’s first start with the Jimmy/Chrissy proposal. I thought it was great — a long time coming and I’m very happy for them both. True love is hard to find, and I think those two have it in each other. Kudos to Jim, he did the right thing.
Kim and Erica…I don’t know what to make of it. I would think there is enough money and magazines for the both of them. That beef seems trivial and silly if you ask me, so I won’t waste to much time on it, ’cause clearly I don’t know the true origins.
The Chrissy and Yandy beef is serious, and I would hope that they can figure this out ’cause it’s sad where this has gone and scary where it can go. We all need a sit down so we can repair this if its reparable.
Now to me…I’m very excited the new single is #2 on iTunes and we’re shooting the video very soon. I’m so happy you guys get to see me singing and doing it the way I’ve always wanted to, and the fact that it’s being received well makes me even happier. And as far as Teairra and Rico, Ima make music with or without him, I would love to work with himm, but my life won’t end if I don’t. I’m not here to create conflict with anyone, I’m just gonna do me with Rich by my side and God willing see them at the top.

This episode ends on an explosive note, as so many Love And Hip Hop episodes do…but first, let’s savor something we’ve never seen before on this show, a Jim Jones show scene. Damn, Chrissy!
