More proof that Percy Miller (The Artist Formerly Known as Master P) and his son Romeo are actually starring in a horror movie about mutant pigs. I posted The Pig People trailer a couple weeks back but some people thought it was a joke or a fake. Once again I kid you not. The Pig People stars the MIller father and son duo along with R&B artist Colby O’Donis about a group of mutant half pig-half people who have an appetite for human flesh. Here are some exclusive pics that WoooHa, Inc. was able to get their hands on.

Percy Miller (the artist formerly known as Master P), has been busy with the recent announcement of his new cable network Better Black Television, but more headlines could be made with the release of his new movie The Pig People. Will the headlines be positive though? WoooHa, Inc. will let you decide with this new trailer.

The Pig People stars Miller, his son Romeo and Colby O’Donis and is about a group of teens who go missing in the woods when they investigate the deadly legend of the Pig People…mutated half human, half pigs who have an appetite for human flesh. And if you don’t believe us, check out the official site at ThePigPeople.com.¬† We couldn’t make something like this up if we tried. Percy is also an executive producer on the film.

Master P set to launch “Better Black TV” cable network

Fresh off the announcement that Master P would officially go by his given name Percy Miller to sound more professional, Percy just announced today the launch of his new cable network called BBTV (Better Black Television). The goal of BBT is to provide “positive content for a black and brown culture” according to the company which will air family-friendly programming.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the network will launch in 2009 and will include a “wide range of scripted, unscripted and news programming, including drama and comedy series, movies, animation, reality, politics, sports and entertainment news, children’s educational and teen programming, as well as responsible hip-hop music and videos.

Although BBTV sounds very similar to current network BET, Percy insists that the two networks have a great relationship and even tributes BET founder Bob Johnson. “I remember him telling me back in the day that if you wanted to know real estate, you’ve got to hang out with real estate investors. If you wanted to know sports, you’ve got to hang out with athletes. I wanted to know TV, so I hung out with Bob and learned the TV game from one of the best in the business.

Production for the various TV shows on the BBTV network has already started in California, NY, Louisiana and Florida. Check out the proposed slate of shows here:

– “Gee Gee the Giraffe”: Children’s educational show. (Will air on BBTV Kids saturday morning show).

– “Manage Your Money”: Featuring financially successful people lending tips to promote financial literacy.

– “Close to the Starz”: A behind-the-scenes show that takes the viewers up close and personal to their favorite celebrities.

– “Karma TV Show”: Bilingual soap opera with an African-American and Latino cast.

– “What’s Cooking TV Show”: Talk show that covers wide aspects of entertainment and current events while cooking healthy, budget-conscious meals.

– “The Black List Movies”: Film showcase featuring classic and contemporary movies, as well as original BBTV productions.

Master P changes name for business reasons

Master P was the young thug. P.Miller was the young adult. Percy Miller is the businessman. Taking a cut out of the “I Change My Name Every Year” Diddy playbook, Master P has officially announced he is changing his name to his given name of Percy Miller for business and professional reasons.

Percy states “I‚Äôve branched out into so many different arenas that range from being the first African-American to have a clothing line at Wal-Mart, to writing books, and speaking on Capitol Hill, but all that gets overshadowed because I come from the hip-hop industry. There‚Äôre a lot of people out there, who are afraid to grow up and change, but I‚Äôm not and P. Miller is the evolution of me, Percy Miller the entrepreneur, the business man.‚Äù

To his credit, Miller has definitely made it a priority to capitalize on business opportunities such as his Wal-Mart clothing deal that will offer urban styles for budget prices and he even has been developing a children’s cartoon character called Gee Gee the Magic Giraffe with his son Romeo.
