TV FAB: Keenan Ivory Wayans BRINGING BACK “In Living Color”

Posted: 29 Oct 2011 06:50 AM PDT

Producer Keenan Ivory Wayans is bringing back his classic FOX sketch comedy series “In Living Color.” Get the deets on Homie The Clown inside…..

 

In celebration of its 25th anniversary, FOX, along with host and executive producer Keenan Ivory Wayans are set to bring back “In Living Color” this season with two half-hour specials.

And if all goes well with the ratings (and we know it will) a rebooted version of the series will appear on Fox’s schedule as a regular series next fall. Keenan will be producing the series through his Ivory Way Prod., in association with 20th Century Fox TV’s Fox 21.

As you will recall, the series launched the careers of the Wayans brothers, Jim Carrey, David Alan Grier and Jamie Foxx among others. But this time around, Keenan is bringing on an all-new cast. No word yet on whether any of the “ILC” veterans will make an appearance (as folks like Marlon will be busy with his own ABC project), but I’m sure Fire Marshall Bill and Antoine Merriweather would be hilarious if they were updated for 2011.  Will J.Lo go back to her roots does a guest stint as a Fly Girl?

Who's your fave “ILC” character?

Spirit Fingers!  We fell in serious like with her since her "Bring It On" days.  Now Gabrielle Union is 39-years old today.  Peep her birthday gallery inside...

 

Gabrielle Union is one fab chick. As she turns 39, the gorgeous actress is living out her dreams and looking fab as she does it. 

And admit it, after all the drama, she's one chick you want to see become a real "Basketball Wife."

And as a spokeswoman for women who have been abused, she is a testament to overcoming a tragic situation and still reaching your purpose and goals.

Check out Gabby bringing the fabulousness in our birthday gallery.....

LaLa Anthony: I'm NOT All Wrapped Up In Carmelo's Life

Posted: 28 Oct 2011 10:20 AM PDT

 

 

LaLa Anthony covers the latest issue and inside pages of "Today’s Black Woman Style Report Magazine" where she does a little girl talk inside about her marriage with NBA Superstar Carmelo Anthony, her stint on "Love, Loss, & What I Wore," and her style. See the highlights inside....

A lot of people want to have it all, but, according to LaLa, aren't willing to put in the time and effort it takes to get such desires.  In the December 2011 issue of Today’s Black Woman Style Report Mrs. Anthony dishes on what she wants (and still desires) out of life and how exactly she went after it.  Here are some of the highlights:

On her overall approach to success:

“You have to set a goal and really work towards it. A lot of people say, ‘I
want to do this, I want to do that,’ but what are you doing to get to that
goal? If you want to act, are you in acting classes? It takes that kind of
commitment to get better at a craft, and people see the final result; but
they don’t know the work it takes to do these kinds of things.”

On her acting career:

“I just wrapped Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, which is based on Steve
Harvey’s book. I’m really excited about that one. It’s really funny but has
a great message.  There's an incredible cast; you have Taraji Henson,
Gabrielle Union, Meagan Good, Michael Ealy, Kevin Hart
…I mean the list goes
on and on. To be a part of a cast like that is awesome.”

On having a successful AND balanced marriage:

“You need to have your own thing going on,
so you can live in your world as well as in the world of your relationship.”

 

Read LaLa's full interview on magazine racks now....

By the way, “La La’s Full Court Life” season finale Airs Monday, October 31 at 9pm ET/PT.  In the finale,  La La and Carmelo’s new home finally seems within reach but with the end of hotel life in sight, the couple are presented with a new surprise.  Tune in to find out what happens.
