  1. Now Playing: I Think I Love Chris Rock.

     

    CHRIS ROCK UNLEASHED: USA 'READY FOR A RETARDED PRESIDENT, WHY WOULDN’T IT BE READY FOR AN AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENT?'

    Wed Mar 14 2007 16:30:58 ET

     

    When LIFE asked comic Chris Rock if America is ready for an African American president, Rock tells LIFE: “It’s ready for a retarded president, why wouldn’t it be ready for an African American president?”

     

    Of the current presidential contenders, Rock says, “I like Al Gore, actually. (A) He’s more qualified than everyone that’s running on the Democratic side. (B) If he won or didn’t win, he has an agenda to help people and make this a better world...” Rock tells LIFE: “Maybe Barack will win, but I probably won’t see a black president. There’s real equality when you don’t notice [race], you don’t even talk about it. I probably won’t live to see that.”

     

    The 42-year-old Brooklyn-raised comic’s latest project, I Think I Love My Wife, which he cowrote, directed, and stars in, examines a marriage that’s in a slump. Rock talks to LIFE about rumors concerning his own 10-year marriage to Malaak Compton-Rock, fatherhood and happiness in the current issue of LIFE, in newspapers Friday.

    Jennifer Hudson reportedly turned down a $3 million dollar payday to appear in a film where nudity was required from a co-star.

    I heard this on the radio.

     

    She apparently refuses to do a film where nudity is required from anyone because she considers herself a role model for all aspiring young women actresses or something.

     

    Power to her. I don't know how long she can survive with that kind of thinking - I mean, I love me some J-Hud and all, but shouldn't she protest violence over sexuality? Or is that just me?

     

     

    I totally agree, Babloo. Priorities as regards censorship are a little weird here in the US.


  3. "Guests including Debbie Reynolds and her daughter, Carrie Fisher; magicians Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn; and model Kathy Ireland turned out for the private party at the Medici Cafe and Terrace at the Ritz-Carlton, Lake Las Vegas."

     

    Wow - Liz and Debbie Reynolds are friends?! Do you think Aniston will turn up at Angelina's 75th birthday party all smiles?

    They remain close friends and continue to have the utmost love and admiration for each other. They ask that their privacy be respected surrounding this personal matter.

     

    Isn't it wonderful how every single celebrity couple that breaks up remains close friends and wants us to respect their privacy. :rolleyes:

     

    They sure as hell didn't want us to respect their privacy when their "people" plastered pics/stories about the possibly fake romance all over the tabloids, did they? I'm waiting for the day when they just tell the truth.

     

     

     

    "We broke up because she was snorting all the coke with her bodyguard and not leaving any for me."

     

    "I got tired of him fucking his boyfriend in the pool where the paparazzi could catch them and make me look bad."

     

    "She was a raving control-freak bitch when she wasn't on camera pretending to be the epitome of sweetness."

     

    "He refused to answer the phone because it was probably one of his four ex-wives wanting the back child support he owed, yet he wanted me to quit my career to have a baby."

     

    "I thought I could stay married for a few years and then trade the ring in for a Porsche and live like a queen off the alimony payments. Then I found out my wedding ring wasn't real and he's on the verge of bankruptcy, the cheap bastard."

     

    "I became an actress to star in movies, not to pretend to be a gay man's wife so the ticket-buying public wouldn't find out about his sexuality."

     

    "We only got married because she had a new CD coming out and needed the publicity, and I needed the paycheck."

  5. Drew Barrymore and her boyfriend, Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti, have called it quits, according to Us Weekly.

     

    The couple had been dating since April of 2002.

     

    “Drew said they needed time off,” a source close to the actress tells Us.

     

    One reason for the breakup is a clash of lifestyle and personalities.

     

    “He’s younger, and she’s more worldly,” says a source of Barrymore. “He doesn’t like the Hollywood stuff. He doesn’t get her friends.”

     

    The pair have been together since April of 2002 and seemed a good match on the surface, friends tell the mag. “Drew has always had a taste for subculture.”


  6. To be honest, I think his sexiness is his whole demenour, not just his body (though that clearly helps) - he seems very real, and he has beautiful eyes - there is something quite raw (in a good way) about him that has nothing to do with his physique and everything to do with his persona and/or acting ability.

     

    I'll stop gushing now... :)

    I agree that it's rude (outrageous) for anyone to put a hand over someone's mouth - but let's not be oblivious to the fact that Ripa would have been 1,000 x more likely to say that to a gay guy than a straight one.

    Yeah, but Clay has never admitted he is gay, even though we all know he is. I think it was probably just her reflex to push him away and say whatever. What she said isn't even that offensive. Rosie is reading WAY too much into it. jmo

     

    Yeah, possibly.
