Martin Lawrence Speaks About His Thoughts On Touring Again!

We got a chance to catch up with Martin Lawrence last night as he just finished a set at The Comedy Store in Hollywood. We decided to ask him about a potential tour, especially since he has been hitting the stage in Hollywood recently. Martin stated that he just was trying to get a "feel for it" and that he hadn't made a decision one way or another. So, the door is not completely closed -or open- to Lawrence hitting the stage for a national tour. We can say this; we will ask him again in a couple of weeks and get back to you on the scoop!

Vivica A. Fox Joins New Urban Version Of ABC's The View

We just discovered from our sources that there is about to be an urban version of The View, ABC’s very successful day time talker. We hear that the hosts for the new show (tentatively titled The Mix), are Vivica A. Fox, Tony Rock, Miguel Nunez, Melysssa Ford, and Sheryl Underwood is created and executive produced by Michael Mcquarn (who currently is producing Tyrese Gibson’s new show on BET titled First In) and Tracey Edmonds, and written by comedian Chris Spencer. The show’s first guest is rapper/actor Mos Def and the pilot is currently being shopped to the networks.

Deon Cole Lands Writer Gig On The Tonight Show

We just discovered that Chicago's own comedian Deon Cole has just landed a gig to join the newly revamped Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien on NBC.

After the poor ratings the last couple of weeks for The Tonight Show (they lost out to The David Letterman Show on CBS for the first time in weeks), they executives thought it was time to make a change.

As one of the only African Americans to land that type of job, this is an amazing opportunity for Cole, as he now has the opportunity to land an Emmy for writing and more! Look at it this way; Conan O'Brien was also a writer for The Tonight Show and Saturday Night Live.

Chris Tucker Hits The Stage- Is He Preparing For His Tour?

If you remember a couple of weeks ago we announced to you that comedian and actor Chris Tucker, probably most famous for his Rush Hour film franchise and the film Friday had recently agreed to put on a comedy tour with AEG Live.

Well to add a little further proof to our claim, last night at The Laugh Factory during the Chocolate Sundaes Comedy Show we got a chance to see Tucker hit the stage and work out some of his new material.

Now, as we reported there is no word yet on set tour date or who will open up for him, but we did discover the tour is set up for about 20-30 cities and is set to begin this fall.

Halle, Oprah, Beyonce, Mariah & More Rumored To Be In New Tyler Perry Film

A couple of weeks ago it was reported that Lionsgate Films had tapped Tyler Perry to write, direct and produce an adaptation of the 1975 play "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf." The film is slated to be the first project for Perry's 34th Street Films production company, housed at Lionsgate.

Well during that time we discovered that "For Colored Girls" will begin shooting in Atlanta in November, with Lionsgate planning a release next year. In case you hadn't heard the play is a series of 20 poems telling stories of love, abandonment, domestic abuse and other issues faced by black women.

Since the news broke about For Colored Girls, we have heard a rumor about the casting of the film, and rumor has it that Halle Berry, Oprah Winfrey, Cicely Tyson, Kimberly Elise, Ruby Dee, Maya Angelou, Angela Bassett, Thandie Newton, Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, Beyonce and Alfre Woodard have all joined the new film. Word has it that the deals are being put into place and an announcement should be made soon. We will have more on this as it develops.

"For Colored Girls," written by Ntozake Shange, was first performed in 1975; it was made into a 1982 telepic with Shange, Laurie Carlos, Trazana Beverly, Alfre Woodard and Lynn Whitfield for PBS' "American Playhouse" banner. A Broadway revival, produced by Whoopi Goldberg and starring India.Arie, was announced for the 2008-09 season but got yanked last summer when funding fell through.
