Stephon Marbury‘s wife Tasha is about to become the newest star of VH1’s “Basketball Wives.” She needs something to keep her busy while her man is over in China most of the time playing for the Beijing Ducks.
“Basketball Wives” (the original) is finally getting an actual wife. Since the only two chicks who were actually married during their season–Meeka Claxton and Kenya Bell–are no longer a part of the show, and Royce Reed, Jennifer Williams & Kesha Nichols got the boot as well, it’s time to fill the slots.
VH1 tapped Tasha Marbury (pictured above on her wedding day to Stephon) because she’s actually married to an ex-NBAer and is already friends with some of the cast (pictured above with Evelyn). Not as if that friendship thing mattered in previous seasons. According to TMZ:
Sources close to the production tell us … Tasha Marbury is in final talks to join the show — a much needed cast replacement after Royce, Jennifer and Kesha were all axed.
….
Sources tell us, Tasha was previously asked to do season 1 of “BB Wives”, except Stephon nixed the idea — but now he lives in China part time playing for the Beijing Ducks … and changed his tune.
By the way, Evelyn still hasn’t been officially signed on for next season. Looks like there could be almost a totally new cast.
