“The show is getting picked up, so for people that have been petitioning and wondering, it is coming back to BET,” actress Drew Sidora spilled to Sister 2 Sister Magazine this week. “So, hopefully, you will see me back. It is official. The deal has been done.”

The Game — a spinoff of the now defunct series Girlfriends — has become a cult favorite among urban audiences since its premiere in 2006. The CW pulled the plug on the show in June.

“Right now, they’re just trying to figure out when it’s going to actually come back, as far as when we start filming the new episodes and things like that,” Drew says. “But BET has picked it up.”

The Michael Vick Project will premiere on Bamboozled Entertainment Television, AKA BET, later this year and is said to focus on the NFL quarterback’s controversial comeback with the Philadelphia Eagles.

First the trainwreck that is Frankie & Neffe, and now this? BET gives away more reality shows than social services gives away government cheese.

Vick, who served time for running an interstate dog fighting ring, tells The L.A. Times Blog: “I just want people to really get to know me as an individual. What I want to do is change the perception of me. I am a human being. I’ve made some mistakes in the past, and I wish it had never happened. But it’s not about how you fall, but about how you pick yourself up.”

When hoodrats become businesswomen: On The Next Maury!

Frankie and Neffe — the mother and sister respectively of Grammy-nominated singing star Keyshia Cole — won’t be bringing their own brand of tomfoolery back to BET in a new spinoff of Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is — – at least not if Keyshia has anything to say about it.

In this interview with Sister 2 Sister Magazine’s Jamie Foster Brown, the “Love” singer says it’s unlikely she’ll sign off on her family’s new reality show.

Frankie & Neffe is scheduled to debut on BET this August.

Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is has taken its final bow on BET, but the Cole Girls aren’t done with us yet.

The Grammy-nominated singer's recovering crack addict mother and habitually-pregnant sister Frankie & Neffe will be back on Black Entertainment Television this August in a new unscripted spinoff drama of their own.

According to series producer James DuBose, Frankie & Neffe, will make its debut on BET August 18.

"This will show their growth and independence in their personal lives," DuBose told Atlanta's Atlanta Journal Constitution on Monday.

Frankie & Neffe debuts August 18 on BET.
