Sistah’s are breaking strides when it comes to prime time TV.

Congrats are in order for the first ever African-American “angel,” ANNIE ILONZEH, who made her prime time debut last night of the ABC’s Charlie’s Angel.

ILONZEH, a former General Hospital regular,  plays Kate  in the television incarnation of the throwback film produced by former angel DREW BARRYMORE.

“We’re trying to do Charlie’s Angels for our time, in 2011. It’s grounded in relationships, so there’s that new spin on it,” ILONZEH dishes. Which may be part of the reason that  that Old Spice spokesman ISAIAH MUSTAFA plays her ex-fiancé in the show.With his fine self, we wonder if that romance only stayed on screen…but hey don’t let us start a rumor…

Tune in Thursdays at 8/7 c on ABC.

This morning, on the “Tom Joyner Morning Show,” Basketball Wives L.A. cast member JACKIE CHRISTIE shared some heart breaking news with listeners: her beloved mother lost her battle with cancer early this morning.

She revealed prior to her mother’s passing, her mother expressed some concerns regarding her participation in the show, and we were able to see last week the close bond JACKIE and her mother had.

R.I.P. and our prayers go out to JACKIE and her family.

When Mom’s snooping and meddling disrupts the impending nuptials, long-held secrets are revealed that may keep the otherwise happy couple apart for good.

Cairo could let his titles do all the work – remember Daddy Long Stroke? – but that would be for amateurs.

In this latest titillating novel, Pasha Willow is a smart beauty with only one thing on her mind. (Look at the title again for a big hint.) She places an ad to help quench her insatiable, um, thirst, and all kinds of drama quickly follows.

As a second erotic offering in just six months, Cairo’s writing like an author with something to prove. And just maybe someone to watch, too.
