Tamar Braxton and Vince Herbert Debut New Reality Show Tonight

Posted byBy Nick Chiles | Published on: CommentsComments (2)

Tonight at 10 p.m., Toni Braxton’s sister Tamar will officially step out of Toni’s shadow with the premiere of her new reality show, “Tamar & Vince,” which will follow the married couple as Vince tries to manage his high-strung wife’s career.

Tamar and Vince Herbert walked the red carpet last night in New York to celebrate the premiere tonight of their new show, which debuts on WEtv.

While it’s been clear that Tamar was the breakout star of “Braxton Family Values” soon after the show premiered in April 2011, now the 35-year-old singer will no longer have to share the stage with her superstar sister Toni and her older sisters Trina, Towanda and Traci, who have all been backup singers for Toni.

Tamar even spoke about it on the red carpet last night.

“I want to be known as Tamar, not Toni Braxton’s sister and definitely not Toni Braxton’s back-up singer,” she said. “I don’t give a damn if she’s Beyonce and Madonna mixed together. I don’t want to sing nobody’s background.”

As for the red carpet fashion, Tamar wowed in a ’50s inspired fit-and-flare dress while Vince, owner of Streamline Records, who has managed the careers of big name artists like Lady Gaga and Tamar’s sister, Toni, matched her retro look in a checkered shirt and bow tie.

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
