Scott will play Sharon “Cissy” Saint,  main character Franklin ((Damson Idris)’s no-nonsense mother, who,  frustrated in both her personal and professional lives, has sacrificed her dreams to give Franklin opportunities she never had.

 London, meanwhile, will play Louise Saint, Franklin’s party-girl aunt.

And on the Reality TV front, Amber Rose and Blac Chyna have signed on to star in an MTV reality TV show that follows their lives having exes that are rappers while balancing motherhood, work as party hosts and juggling the fabulous life, TMZ reports.

Both have fractured relationships with the Kardashians. Rose was previously in a long-term relationship with Kim Kardashian West‘s husband Kanye West and Blac Chyna’s son is rapper Tyga’s first child. Tyga is currently in relationship with recently legal Kylie Jenner who just turned 18-years old.

Reports are out there that the two ladies hope their show rivals E!’s Keeping up with the Kardashians. 

 

Celebrity Couples whose Union Didn’t Survive Their Baby’s First Birthdays

US Weekly reports that Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green have split after 11 years together.

It is the latest in a slate of high-profile celeb break ups this summer including Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, Sienna Miller and Tom Sturridge, Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick, Charlize Theron and Sean Penn, Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton.

Break ups are sad and we’ve notice that in the 7 years that Bellyitch Blog has been in existence, a substantial amount of celebrity women who we have had on our “bumpwatch” list have broken up with their respective significant others.

Some broke up before the baby was even born: Christina Milian, Kelis, Heidi Klum and January Jones,and many more split with their respective hubby/baby daddies before they even gave birth.

Last year, CiaraEva Marcille (nee Pigford),  and Amber Rose split with their partners before each of  their baby’s turned 6 months old. The separations have been messy, still.  A few years ago, Selma Blair and her ex Jason Bleick split up 14 months after welcoming their first child together.

Others we’ve covered who have called it quits include: The Jamie Foxx show actress Garcelle Beauvais, TV host Padma Lakshmi from Top Chef, Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey, Jennifer Freeman from My Wife and Kids, Lauryn Hill, Kimora Lee Simmons (Djimon Hounsou days), Hilary Duff, Fantasia, Halle Berry, Jill Scott, Kate Hudson, Jamie Lyn Spears, Lauren London, Monyetta Shaw (NeYo’s ex), Golden Brooks from “Girlfriends”.

At this point, it’s probably safer to start chronicling those who are still together because they are the new exception, not the rule in Hollywood, it seems. But hey, so long as everyone is happier and better off apart and the off-springs are co-parented well with little to minimum drama, right?

No judgment from us, okay. We’re  just pointing out the trends and facts. Just the facts, ma’am, just the facts! (*smirk*)
