WE TV orders 'Braxton' spinoff

WE TV is moving forward with "Tamar & Vince," ordering eight episodes of its "Braxton Family Values" spinoff pilot for a fall 2012 premiere. Production will begin in March on the series, featuring singer Tamar Braxton and her music producer husband Vincent Herbert. "Tamar & Vince is a great addition to WE TV's schedule, especially as we expand into a third night of original programming catering to the underserved audience of African-American women that love 'Braxton Family Values,' " said WE TV prexy and g.m. Kim Martin. "Tamar is a huge part of what's made that show such a success," Martin added. "She is completely over the top and our viewers just love her." Magical Elves is producing.
