TV One, Hip Hop Weekly and Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey hosted a special viewing party Wednesday night for the cast of the new docu-series “The Next:15.” The invitation only event took place at Atlanta’s Suite Food Lounge and featured five of the six cast members: Claudia Jordan (RHOA), Karamo Brown (Real World Philadelphia), Laura Govan (Basketball Wives L.A.), Jennifer Williams (Basketball Wives Miami) and Benzino (Love and Hip Hop Atlanta).

“The Next: 15” follows the lives of the five aforementioned stars + Tiffany “New York” Pollard (I Love New York) as they attempt to generate their next 15 minutes of fame. It’s a play on Andi Warhol‘s memorable quote, “In the future everybody will be world famous for fifteen minutes.” The show also comes from the creative mind of Carlos King, producer of “Hollywood Divas” and “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.”
