The producers and editors haven't gotten paid in 6 weeks...Host Bryce Wilson is owed $15,000 and won't return to the show...Wyclef's little sister, Melky, is hosting the show for FREE for the exposure...their vendors have NEVER been paid...

...and guess who is the new CEO of the parent company, The Heritage Networks...that's right...good ol' CHAZ WALKER of HOOKT.COM fame...

can you say Titanic...

Weekend Vibe has gone belly up...the show, which airs after Showtime At The Apollo on NBC, is officially "on hiatus" because they cannot pay their employees, vendors, or payroll taxes...

The Heritage Networks founder Frank Mercado-Valdes is a complete crook with a Napoleon complex...he had Condoleeza Rice's niece Jua Perez on the payroll as a P.A. for one reason: to roll his weed cigarettes...how about THAT for profit sharing???

Chaz Walker of hookt.com fame is the new CEO so you KNOW where that puts the show...in the toilet...

on top of their entire production staff leaving after not being paid for 6 weeks, they also have not paid their payroll taxes and are in danger of IRS investigation...In addition, multiple lawsuits have been filed by the employees and the vendors from both WEEKEND VIBE and the HERITAGE NETWORKS other defunct show, Livin' Large with star bimbo Carmen Electra...

It seems that everything Heritage and Chaz Walker touches turns to shit.

the good news is that there are job positions available at THE HERITAGE NETWORKS and WEEKEND VIBE at the highest levels...you just won't ever get paid...good luck...
