TV FAB: LIFETIME Reveals New Docu-Series “BAPS” Trailer + Kerry Washington Will Make Her FIRST Post Baby TV Appearance At The 2014 BET Awards

We told you about the new docu-series highlighting some of St. Louis’ most privileged and affluent African-Americans. And now the trailer and official premiere date has been released. Peep the trailer and get the deets on Kerry Washington’s post-baby return to television inside…

Seems this summer will be offering an array of shows to keep us entertained as we try to keep cool inside. A new docu-series is coming to LIFETIME titled “BAPs” to help balance the continued ratchetness we see on every other reality television series.

Debuting July 23rd at 10PM EST, “BAPs” pulls back the curtain on an exclusive, privileged and cultured group of African-American friends from St. Louis who are self-proclaimed Black American Princesses and Princes. Following lifelong friends who are educated and sophisticated, each episode will give us a peek into their affluent lifestyles and social circles.

The press release reads:

Dressed to the nines with egos to spare, there is no shortage of conflict, humor and heart among the group that includes Anisha, Kristen, Gina, Jason, Riccarda and Brandon. With a dynamic that can change from BFFs to frenemies at the drop of a hat, together they attend St. Louis’ most exclusive social institutions and events… but no occasion is conflict-free. Competing to be the most successful and beautiful person in their circle is sure to bind and divide them, especially when Anisha’s boyfriend, Kendrick, and his niece, Rai-Rai, represent everything a BAP is not.

Check the trailer below:

Mark your calendars. “BAPs” will premiere on Wednesday, July 23rd at 10PM EST on LIFETIME.

Also coming to television…

Kerry Washington (above glowing at the 2014 Oscar Awards) will be making her very first post-baby debut as a presenter at the 2014 BET Awards. The “Scandal” star likes to keep her personal life extra private so we have yet to see what the new mommy or the baby looks like these days.

You’ll recall we didn’t even learn about her giving birth to her baby girl Isabelle Amarachi Asomugha until TWO weeks after she entered the world. Isabelle was reportedly born on April 21st at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. And she also went under everyone’s radar secretly marrying retired NFL baller Nnamdi Asomugha in Idaho last June. Chick clearly learned a thing or two from OPA.

Along with Kerry, Robin Thicke is set to perform a brand new track and we will also be entertained with performances by Pharrell Williams, Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Lil Wayne, Trey Songz and Lionel Richie.

Hosted by funny man Chris Rock, the 2014 BET Awards will air live on Sunday, June 29th at 8PM EST from the Nokia Theatre L.A.
