New VH1/Queen Latifah produced movie ‘Single Ladies’ shooting in Atlanta with Lisa Raye McCoy
May 25, 2010, by
VH1 earlier this month began shooting a new movie “Single Ladies” here in Atlanta starring
Lauren London
(”ATL”),
Lisa Raye McCoy
(left, “All of Us”) and
Stacy Dash
(”Clueless”).
The film is about three African-American single women in Atlanta “Sex and the City” style. VH1, with reality shows such as “Basketball Wives” and “What Chilli Wants,” has been aggressively building its audience among African-American women.
Queen Latifah's company Flavor Unit Entertainment is producing it but I have no idea if she'll actually pop up on screen.
McCoy is half sister of Atlanta rap artist Da Brat and is on a TV One reality show about herself called "Lisa Raye: The Real McCoy").
The film, which has nothing to do with Beyonce despite the title, isn't set to make it on VH1 until 2011.
