Monica’s TV Turn
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Atlanta R&B singer Monica IS headed for the airwaves, but not “Real Housewives of Atlanta.”
Her longtime manager Melinda Dancil shot us a note denying reports on MediaTakeOut that the Grammy winner may appear on a local version of the Bravo reality series.
But “she is doing a very HOT TV show”, Dancil said; adding that she will get us the details as soon as possible.
Interested in seeing Monica (above, with her first son Rodney Hill III) on TV? Looking forward to what she does next, musically?
