What on earth is Tamar thinking on this week's 'Braxton Family Values' (Thu., 9PM ET on WE)? Camera crew in tow, she goes into a recording studio and lays it on producer Harvey Mason Jr.: "I was just hoping that you would be willing to have an affair with me." Er, that's not exactly a subtle way of letting her husband Vincent Herbert find out that she's up to no good ...

As a clearly embarrassed Mason starts laughing and squirming uncomfortably in his chair she adds, "Not that kind. A musical affair." Phew. Turns out that Tamar just wants Mason for his musical chops. She plans to record an album with him in secret, behind her music producer husband's back.

Mason agrees to do it, and then Tamar delivers the kicker: She needs help financing it. "I don't have no money! I can't be using Vince's money to work on this project behind his back."
