“Married To Medicine” season 2 red carpet premiere kicked off last night as well as “Raisin In The Sun’s” Broadway opening and afterparty. Check the pics of the fab events inside…
BRAVO’s "Married To Medicine" is back for a new season and to kick things off, a few celebs came out last night to hit the red carpet for the season premiere.
The “Married to Medicine” cast members Dr. Jackie Walters, Quad Webb-Lunceford, Toya Bush-Harris and newcomer Lisa Nicole Cloud hit the carpet, while Mariah Huq, Dr. Simone Whitmore and newcomer Dr. Heavenly Kimes (a dentist married to a doctor) were not there.
Tamar Braxton, Tamar’s husband Vince Herbert, Towanda Braxton (looks like Tamar and Towanda finally kissed and made up), “House of Payne” actress Demetira Mckinney, and former “Girlfriends” star Jill Marie Jones were also there to catch the premiere.
Season 2 promises to be “brutally honest” and the “most explosive” season yet with the ending of Mariah and Quad’s friendship, Dr. Simone’s marriage possibly heading down splitsville lane and Dr. Jackie (who survived breast cancer twice) wanting to expand her family through adoption or surrogacy.
Celeb doctor Jackie Walters (who cares for Toni Braxton, T.I., & Usher) along with her husband Curtis hit the carpet. This season, Dr. Jackie is ready to experience motherhood. Although she’s unable to have children on her own, she’s open to adoption or using a surrogate, but her biggest obstacle will be getting her husband on board.
Toya Bush-Harris along with her emergency medicine physician husband Eugene Harris continue to search for Toya’s dream home in season 2. She will also struggle with her long-time friendship with castmate Simone possibly ending.
Quadriyyah "Quad" Webb-Lunceford and her psychiatrist husband Gregory Lunceford looked great last night. Quad will struggle with her ending friendship with close friend Mariah this season.
And newcomer Lisa Nicole Cloud, a successful entrepreneur and fashion designer will bring a bit of sass to this season.
Hey Tamar!
Vince was all smiles with Dr. Jackie and her hubby.

This looks like it’s going to be good.
Tune in to BRAVO on Sunday, April 6th at 9/8c to catch the season premiere.

The Broadway opening night for Lorraine Hansberry’s “A Raisin In The Sun” debuted Thursday at The Ethel Barrymore Theatre in New York City starring Denzel Washington, British actress Sophie Okondeo, Samuel L. Jackson’s wife LaTanya Richardson Jackson, and actress Anika Noni Rose. After the show, the cast hit up an after party at Tribeca Rooftop to celebrate the show’s opening night.
Check the pics:

Fresh from her B.B. Kings gig, Ashanti took a break from promoting her new album Braveheart to enjoy the festivities…and she looks great by the way.
