'Tiny Talk Show'
Tamar Braxton has been bringing ratings to WE tv for more than 10 years, starting with Braxton Family Values. So it only made sense that the network behind her latest do- cuseries, Get Ya Life! post- poned the show amid reports that she was hospitalized.
Her new docuseries was originally scheduled to pre- miere Thursday, but given Braxton’s alleged suicide at- tempt earlier this month, WE tv is concerned about the pop- ular star’s mental health. Her boyfriend reportedly told po- lice that the singer and mother

“This series was conceived by Tamar and is a real por- trait of a dynamic woman jug- gling the demands of being a single mother, a new relation- ship and her career,” WE tv said in a statement, posted to Twitter. “We know when the time is right, Tamar’s fans will relate to seeing this honest portrait of her life, but at this moment we are joining with her fans and sending strength and healing in the hope that she is getting the support she needs at this difficult time.”
Marsai Martin can now add "talk show host" to her list of accolades.
Quibi has announced that the black-ish star and Holly- wood's youngest producer will host Tiny Talk Show. The se- ries will be produced by Art & Industry and will be "the world's smallest functional talk show," literally.
"It's one-sixth [the] scale of an actual set which reflects the mission of the show itself: in- timate, revealing, and devoted to subjects with a lot to say," says the streaming service. "Join Marsai as she asks the big questions and steers us through this new world as we discover sometimes the littlest voices are the loudest."

50 Cent’s antics on Insta- gram may have prompted him to take another break.
After initially suggesting that he had been shadow banned from the platform, 50 shared a photo, explaining content he posted was re- moved “for bullying or harass- ment.”
The post that was removed, according to 50 is a young woman in a thong bikini bend-
ground. A few Instagram users in the comments decided to put on their sleuth hats to de- termine what exactly made the content violate Instagram’s Terms of Agreement. Even 50 himself was confused.
“I don’t understand this, why am i getting this?” 50 wrote. “it says the post is re- moved for bullying but the post is still on my page. ok time to take a break from IG.”

Ryan Breaux, the 18-year- old brother of singer-song- writer Frank Ocean, was reportedly killed in a single-ve- hicle car crash on Sunday.
According to CBS, Breaux and a friend named Ezekial “Zeek” Bishop were driving in California’s Westlake Vil- lage early on Sunday When their car reportedly hit a tree and “cut in half on impact.” When authorities arrived on the scene responding to calls of smoke near Skelton Canyon Circle around 1:30 a.m., the vehicle was engulfed in flames, and both were pronounced dead at the scene.
Several of Breaux’s friends wrote tributes to him on social media. Cambria Aguilar wrote “Ry, I don’t think I’ll ever re- cover. I will love you forever,” while Paris Brosnan, the son

Robin Givens opens up about the potential portrayal of the abusive relationship be- tween her and ex-husband Mike Tyson in the boxer’s upcoming biopic.
Actor and musician Jamie Foxx confirmed his leading role in the project. According to theGrio, Foxx is already bulking up to portray the for- mer heavyweight champion. He, however, is not the only talent being questioned about the biographical film.
Givens recently spoke with Andy Cohen about the movie and her feelings on the abusive past she shares with the ath- lete. In 1988, they were briefly married until the actress filed for divorce claiming he “threatened to kill me,” ac- cording to the Los Angeles Times.

Cohen on SiriusXM’s Radio Andy, she shares she hopes truth is the end result.
“It’s hard not to feel deeply disturbed by it, you know what I mean?” Givens remarks.
Givens maintains that the truth does not change.
“I believe truth is truth... It’s Monday, 7:45 Pacific Time, there are certain things that
are true and not true, and for somebody to take history and re-purpose it or write what they want is so deeply upset- ting to me,” she says.
“I don’t want to get bogged down in that... We’re living in this time now where people can say all kinds of things and if you say it loud enough, peo- ple believe it.”
