NEWS: “GODFATHER OF GO-GO” CHUCK BROWN HAS DIED AT 75

TWITTER LOOP/POLL: TIA MOWRY WON’T BE BACK ON ‘THE GAME’ + POOCH HALL NOT RETURNING EITHER?

Looks like ‘The Game’ just lost two of their starting players. Ok that was hella corny, but you know what I mean. LOL. Actress Tia Mowry-Hardrict confirmed the rumors of her not returning for Season 6 of BET’s hit show ‘The Game’ via twitter. Check out what she had to say below.

According to Hip Hollywood, actor Pooch Hall won’t be returning either! We stalked his twitter page earlier and last he said it was still being worked out, but that was almost two weeks ago. He also said he will be co-starring in a new series on the Showtime Network.

Seeing that both are key players in the story line and appeal of the show, not sure how the writers are going to fix this one. And to be honest, I stopped watching the series months ago and didn’t even know the already had their season finale. I guess both Tia and Pooch saw a sinking ship and jumped off. What’s your take? Let us know via the poll or the comment area below. BET stay messing stuff up!
