Duane & Tisha Campbell-Martin Welcome New Addtiton To Family

We want to congratulate Tisha and Duane Martin as they had an addition to their family last night. It seems that the new baby boy, named Ezekiel "Zeke" Martin was welcomed into the world and is doing fine.

Duane is probably best known for his stint in the UPN sitcom All Of Us, and his wife Tisha is best known for the sitcom Martin and the ABC sitcom My Wife & Kids. Despite all of the internet rumors that have been floating around for years about them breaking up (which have always been false) their family is looking good and growing.

Mike Epps Tapped To Host BET Hip Hop Awards!


Well, it looks like Katt Williams is out, and Mike Epps is in. Yep, after all of the back stage drama from last year's Hip Hop Awards, we discovered today that comedic actor Mike Epps has been named host of the 4th Annual BET Hip-Hop Awards slated to air Oct. 27 at 8 p.m. The award show will be taped Oct. 10 at the Boisfeuillet Jones Atlanta Civic Center in Atlanta.

What is strange to us is that Katt Williams has hosted the three previous seasons and we were told he was not asked to host this year's event.

That's not all for Mike Epps, as we have also learned that Epps will star in Showtime's one-hour standup comedy special, Mike Epps' Under-rated and Never Faded: Live from Detroit premiering on Saturday, Oct. 3.

There is more news about to be released soon and we will have more info on this shortly.

Big Momma's House 3 Is Set To Begin

Today our sources have disclosed to us that not only has Martin Lawrence verbally agreed to do Bad Boys 3 with Will Smith (as long as the deals can be worked out amongst Smith, and Director Michael Bay with Columbia Pictures), but we also have discovered that FOX Studios has begun the process to get Big Momma House 3 underway. It seems that FOX has hired writer Randi Mayem Singer (of The Tooth Fairy fame) to pen the film.

Big Momma's House was originally released in 2000 and Big Momma's House 2 was released in 2006. The film was originally about an FBI agent (Lawrence) who disguises himself as an old lady to protect a beautiful federal witness and her son.

The film grossed $174 million worldwide in 2000 while Big Momma's House 2 pulled in another $138 million in 2006.

Faizon Love To Join The Late Nite Line-Up

Our sources have disclosed to us that comedian Faizon Love is about to jump into the crowded late night arena with his own late night talk show which we hear will be syndicated and is set to begin this fall.

Unlike his competition- all of which who are starting their own late night talkers this season- Love's show will not be dedicated to the Urban audience. Word is comedians Wanda Sykes, Mo'Nique and comedian George Lopez are going after their audiences with an urban driven show, but Love is compiling a guest list that looks like another Jay Leno type show. We hear that there will be an official announcement on Friday.

Bad Boys 3 Jumps On Track!

We just discovered that it seems our speculations were right a couple of months ago. If you remember, we placed a story stating that we heard Hollywood execs were trying their best to bring back Will Smith and Martin Lawrence for a third installment of the Bad Boys films action franchise.

Well, it seems that we were right, and that Hollywood has taken the first step towards that goal. We have just learned that Columbia Pictures have commissioned writer Peter Craig to begin work on a new screenplay for Bad Boys 3.

We have to state that although the film project is still in its early stages, Columbia Pictures hope to entice Smith and Lawrence back to the series as Miami, Florida police detectives, bringing Transformers director Michael Bay and producer Jerry Bruckheimer back on board, all of which was confirmed by Hollywood Reporter this morning..

The original Bad Boys release hit cinemas in 1995, grossing a conservative $141 million worldwide, while Bad Boys 2, the sequel released eight years later, was a global box office smash, taking profits of $273 million.
