TV FAB: Lauren London Nabs NEW Lead Role On "The Game"?!

Actress Lauren London has reportedly landed a lead role on BET's "The Game," filling the void left by Tia Mowry. Deets inside.....

 

With the departures of Tia Mowry and Pooch Hall leaving a huge void, TV Line has announced that gorgeous actress Lauren London has come on board.  We told you earlier about BET looking for fresh faces to play two new characters who will become the lead roles, and mom of one Lauren got the female lead.  Her recent roles on "Single Ladies" and Madea's Big Happy Family must have raised some eyebrows.

The former ATL actress will play Kiera, who is a former child star who has a job on a popular sitcom.  So far, the network has not announced an actor to play "Bryce," the Ivy League educated all-star running back. And for season 6, Wendy Raquel Robinson, Coby Bell, Hosea Chanchez, Barry Floyd and Brandy Norwood will all be back!

Such exciting news! I love

Such exciting news! I love Lauren London and I think she makes for a much better actress than Tia Mowry. I was losing interest in The Game but I’m excited with this new change, it will definitely make me watch more and I think the show could use talent like Lauren London. I will definitely be watching The Game with her presence. Since I record most shows, my coworker at Dish suggested I download the Dish Remote Access app, which makes life much easier for me. I can set up recordings, watch what I’ve already recorded and watch live TV as well, all from my iPhone. This is so convenient!

For some odd reason, I can't

For some odd reason, I can't see Lauren in any adult roles. She has a youthfulness about her, perhaps she could play Melanie's younger sister or something?

i don't see how BET fukks up

i don't see how BET fukks up this show, creates terrible storylines, makes characters like Melanie and Derwin almost secondary and ulikeable, gets rid of Kelly, has terrible writing, and then has the nerve to just think you can replace main characters with some brand new storyline? C'mon son

If this is indeed true, it's a wrap with The Game. This show has gone down hill since Brittany Daniel left and hasn't been the same since. I really stop watching the show after Brittany left.

Laura London will fit in with

Laura London will fit in with The Game, for the way it is now. Her acting reminds me of that of LisaRaye, not good. And is she planning to hide her baby forever! I think Tia really left because the story lines sucked, its not like she has a lot of other stuff going on for her..checks from SisterSister, RealityShow, and Motherhood(which is a full time job). But I think Tia was sick of those weak story lines, and they were probably not impressed with her failure to lose weight a year after giving birth.

Once again BET making bad

Once again BET making bad decisions.... Yes she is beautiful and she definitely got the look to fill the void, but She needs to come with it. No girly high school acting.

Lauren is no long relevant

Lauren is no long relevant since she had THAT BABY w/ Wayne. I feel bad for her. That ONE mistake kind of made ppl look at her differently and it obviously is reflecting on her profession. I feel like she could do WAY better than The Game. The Game is on it's way to being canceled. The writers suck, the story lines suck, Lauren girl... you just boarded a SINKING SHIP! good luck to u! u'll need it.

Lauren is a cute girl and

Lauren is a cute girl and maybe a few seasons ago would have been perfect to play the role of Deion but I can't see her being the lead role in anything. I appreciate her in smal doses, definitely not weekly. BET replacing Tia and Pooch is like Erik Spoelstra taking Lebron and D. Wadeout the finals and asking Shaq and Alonso Mourning to come in, it just doesn't make sense. However I guess I will watch a couple of episodes just to see what Lauren is wearing lol.

I Honestly think she would be a better fit for single ladies. I CANT STAND THE DEnise VASi chick...and i couldnt stand STACEY DASH I think they are equally GORGEOUS but HORRIBLE @ acting. I don't care for Lisa ray as an actress either she's always the same character A.K.A HERSELF....I think BET SHOULD END THE GAME ND MAKE A SPIN OFF SHOW. with brandy and coby bell (THERE FUNNY AND HAVE A GOOD CHEMISTRY on SCREEN.)

Very happy for Lauren London

Very happy for Lauren London to get a role, seems she been a bit faint in the hollywood spotlight, but the show is a sinking ship so it not the best place to be. I say Lauren, trash the role and wait for something better, but then again her acting is weak, so go ahead and get ur money for the next 2 seasons. #theword Click the logo we finally launched our first few shows. Thx!

Lauren is beautiful, and I'm

Lauren is beautiful, and I'm happy this sister got a role, BUT, having been a HUGE "Game" fan since it debuted October 2006, I find it hard to continue watching after Tia and Pooch's departure; regardless, I will continue to watch. Tia and Pooch were the nucleus of the show. To me, they cannot be replaced. We've seen Girl Melanie and Ding Dong go through their ups and downs over the years. Die hard fans rallied around to get the show back on the air, and this is how BET repays us. I love Tasha, Malik, Tee Tee, Jason, and I even like Chardonnay, but I believe a huge void will be left, and since many fans have been disgruntled since the beginning of season 4, I think the show will tank. I hope not, but they are losing a lot of fans. P.S. I'm happy for Tia and Pooch that they have other projects going on

The Game has gone downhill.

The Game has gone downhill. Why bring all these non talented people. No one can replace Tia, she was fit for that role. Lauren is a ghetto chick, and needs to work on speaking well.

I will agree she does need to

I will agree she does need to work on how she speaks. She does come across as "ghetto" in interviews.

GTFOH! ARE THEY SERIOUS?!!!

GTFOH! ARE THEY SERIOUS?!!! BET IS MORE DELUSIONAL THAN I THOUGHT IF THEY THINK THE GAME WILL CONTINUE AFTER THE DEPARTURE OF THE TWO MAIN CHARACTERS! They might as well call it a wrap because replacing the two MAIN characters is no good! Those of you SCREAMING YAY Lauren London are Dumb AF! Lauren London would have been a good supporting actress but a main character HELL NO! She isn't that great of an actress no offense! THEY KNOW BETTER THAN THAT! The game will soon be cancelled just like that dreadful show Let's Stay Together. BET IS RATCHET! They deserve nothing but failure! After the fans got that show back on air they repay us by firing Tia Mowry and Pooch Hall HELL NO BITCH! NEVER BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU.
