*If you’re a fan of “Basketball Wives” and Tami Roman, we’re about to make your day with good news.
The producers of “BW” have convinced Roman to comeback for one more season and join a couple of new castmates connected to ex-NBA coach and player, Byron Scott.
Roman had decided that she was done with the show because she wanted to branch out and explore other opportunities.
The Blast is reporting that the situation changed when producers came back and offered her a new deal she could not refuse. The offer included options for other opportunities and projects at VH1 aside from “Basketball Wives.”
The new season begins filming later this week and Tami will be joined by series stars Evelyn Lozada, Shaunie O’Neal, Jackie Christie and Jennifer Williams.
And as far as those folks connected to Byron Scott are concerned, sources close to production say that producers are in talks to lock down Scott’s girlfriend, Cecilia Gutierrez, along with the NBA legend’s son Thomas’ wife, Kristen Scott. Thomas Scott is a former Lakers assistant coach.

*The new cycle of “America’s Next Top Model” returned last week with the child of a famous reality star booted right off the bat.
Lyric Anderson, the daughter of “Basketball Wives” standout Tami Roman and NBA vet Kenny Anderson, made a brief appearance on the season 24 premiere during the first round of cuts, where executive producer/returning judge Tyra Banks and the panelists assess photos brought in by the hopefuls.
The women were either passed through to the next round, or eliminated on the spot.
Lyric was in the latter group, but took to social media to say that the show’s editing made her departure appear more abrupt than it actually was.
“This process was a week. It looks like it was one day to you guys,” Lyric explains. “We met with production and everyone who was involved with the show except for Tyra and the judges. That [televised moment] was obviously our first time meeting them.”
“I was in the room with them about 10 to 15 minutes talking to them about my childhood, about body positivity and how I’ve dealt with people tearing me down about being skinny and calling me names like anorexic. …I also talked about getting a boob job because I was so depressed about how people were tearing me down about my weight. …I even complimented [judge] Ashley Graham because she’s so into your image and loving yourself for who you are. All of that is gone.”
