The news has rippled across the internet quickly and it’s clear that we’re not the only ones stunned and saddened by the hip hop artist’s death. We offer our deepest sympathy to those close to Heavy D, and offer a few of the Twitter condolences that some of our VH1 talent has written as well. R.I.P.

The Twitterpedia Of VH1 Stars, Past and Present

It’s always fun to follow celebrities on Twitter, but here at VH1, our on-air talent has taken Tweeting and turned it into an art form. Take the cast of Mob Wives, who went from not even having Twitter accounts seven weeks ago to having more than 100,000 followers now. Or the ladies from Basketball Wives, who keep us updated on all their t-shirt drama, even when the cameras aren’t rolling. (Not to mention the crossover love these women have for one another’s shows, which is kind of sweet.)

The point is, you should be following them, and to make it easy, we’ve taken the liberty of doing all the Twitter dirty work so you can follow everyone on the network just by checking our our comprehensive VH1 Twitterpedia below. Need to know the handles of the folks from the last season of Celebrity Rehab or You’re Cut Off? We’ve got all that and more. Check it. Click it. Re-Tweet it.

The Cast Of Single Ladies Wants You To Watch Their Sexy Show

We’re super excited for Single Ladies, VH1′s new movie and scripted series that debuts TONIGHT at 8 p.m. ET/PT. We were lucky enough to visit the set to catch a full day of shooting, and chatted with the cast and crew about why viewers should make sure and tune-in tonight (as if Executive Producer Queen Latifah and guest appearances by Eve, Common, Chilli and Kim Porter aren’t enough of a reason).

We hung out with Stacey Dash (stunning), Lauren London (adorable), LisaRaye McCoy (gorg), Charity Shea (so pretty) and Timon Durrett (our future baby-daddy) about their work on the movie/series, and they convinced us in 0.2 seconds to glue ourselves to the television and set a season pass for the show on our DVR. As LisaRaye says, Single Ladies is “the female bonding movie that you can also sit down and have your man watch with you.” Uh, we’re sold.

Check out their answers and their hotness (seriously guys, they are all so hot) above.
