THE BEAT: Salt 'n' Pepa, Thicke, more

As if reality television couldn't get more hood, we've now learned that the legendary female rap group, Salt 'N' Pepa, have teamed up with VH1 for their own show, called - GASP - "The Salt 'N' Pepa Show." The show will center around the ladies attempt at reuniting with one another, on a personal and professional level. With this theme in mind, we can probably expect more drama than "Flavor of Love." The show is expected to air in 2008. Despite their shared status as white R&B singers, Robin Thicke maintains he's nothing like Justin Timberlake. In the July '07 issue of Elle, Thicke tells CNN correspondent (and former VIBE contrib.) Lola Ogunnaike, "[Timberlake] makes futuristic dance music, and I make old soul... Justin is more of a male Madonna. I'm like Al Green's distant white cousin." Thicke also details his success, his childhood, and meeting his wife, actress Paula Patton, at age 14, in a club, while outfitted entirely in Cross Colours. "I roll up on to her, and she's looking at me like, 'I know this white boy can't dance,'" he tells Ogunnaike. But that was just growing pains. Thicke won Patton over with his rendition of Jodeci's "Forever My Lady," and left the footwork to JT's blonde ambition.
