VH1 INVITES YOU TO THE WEDDING OF EVELYN LOZADA AND CHAD OCHOCINCO
NEW SERIES “EV AND OCHO” (WORKING TITLE) PREMIERES SEPTEMBER 2012 ON VH1

Santa Monica, CA – March 12, 2012 – VH1 has signed “Basketball Wife” Evelyn Lozada and her fiancé, NFL superstar Chad Ochocinco for a new series showcasing their upcoming wedding, including all the scheduling, details and drama that lead to their special day. The eight-part series “Ev and Ocho” will premiere September 2012 and consist of eight half-hour episodes concluding with a two-part wedding finale.

TMZ is reporting that Chad Ochocinco plans to change his name back to Chad Johnson so that when he gets married to Evelyn Lozada this summer, she won’t be stuck with a “made-up last name.” That means Evelyn could end up being “Evelyn Johnson,” if she goes the traditional route and takes his name. What do you think, Basketball Wives fans, should she take either of his last names, or stick with the name that made her famous?

It’s Super Bowl Sunday which means most of us are going to be sitting at home eating various dips and snacks while a select few people will actually be in Indianapolis for the big event between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots. Among those lucky few at the game? Evelyn Lozada and her Patriot fiance Chad Ochocinco, of course. Evelyn’s been posting some pics from her time on the sidelines as the Pats prep for the game, here are some of our faves, featuring the happy couple with team owner Robert Kraft, above, and a few more of the entire team including hottest QB ever Tom Brady.

  • There was a lot of love on our television screens this year, from Jackie and Doug Christie‘s sixteenth wedding to Evelyn and Chad‘s pursuit of twins, to the reunion of T.I. and Tiny after his stint in jail. Not to mention the super-string relationships between La La and Carmelo Anthony and Chrissy Lampkin and her man Jim Jones. These are strong women with men who adore them, and it’s great to see so much love flourish among so much drama that exists in their lives. But which couple is the absolute cutest, the most real, the most adoring? Take a look at our gallery and then you tell us!

    Now that it’s been few days since Chad Ochocinco confirmed his engagement to Basketball Wives and Basketball Wives 2 star Evelyn Lozada, some details about the particulars of the proposal are starting to leak out. In an US exclusive that ran earlier today, Evelyn dishes about how Ocho popped the question:

    “He had a jeweler come to [his] house,” Lozada tells Us, explaining that a rep from jeweler Jason of Beverly Hills frequently travels to clients. “[It was] a total surprise! We sat there and picked out the ring.”

    Did you hear the news? In a match made in VH1 heaven, Terrell Owens will be joining his friendly rival Chad Ochocinco as a wide receiver on the Cincinnati Bengals this season. The two have been duking it out for Sunday night supremacy as the stars of The T.O. Show and Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch for the last few weeks, but come Sundays this fall, the two longtime friends will both be sporting orange and black uniforms, standing on the same sideline and doing everything they can to take the Bengals to the Super Bowl.

    However, the T.O. era in Cincinnati got off to a bumpy start this morning. Reports out of Georgetown, KY — where the Bengals are holding their pre-season practices — say that T.O. missed his flight last night, resulting in him not being able to attend this morning’s practice or his scheduled 11 a.m. press conference. Never fear, though, the press conference has been rescheduled for later tonight, at which point in time we’ll get to see T.O. don a Bengals jersey for the first time. Let’s just hope that T.O. makes his next flight!

    Well, sort of. You see, we caught up with Terrell Owens, star of The T.O. Show, and Chad Ochocinco, star of Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch, in Harlem’s legendary Rucker Park the other night for a spirited game of basketball. Well, sort of; Chad didn’t actually end up playing. Instead, he coached his team from the sidelines. Still, that didn’t stop T.O. and Chad from wagering a small bet on the outcome. Specifically, the losing side would have to do 85 (get it?) push-ups at center court? Find out who won by watching the video above!
