Exclusive: Ice-T Confirms Whether Or Not New Jack City Sequel Is In The Works

”Law & Order” 400th Episode celebration in NYC “Law & Order SVU” Star Spoke To BOSSIP At TV Guide Party Ice-T said he’s open to filming part two of his iconic film “New Jack City” and as well as 90s hit show “New York Undercover.” “Just to be around, me and Wesley and Chris Rock to be still in the game, it’s a blessing,” the rapper-turned-actor told BOSSIP Jan. 11 at TV Guide’s party in NYC celebrating the 400th episode of his hit show, “Law & Order SVU.” “It’s been talked about,” he said of filming a sequel. “A New Jack two has been talked about. A New York Undercover sequel has been talked about (too). Maybe I could be captain over there. You never know. you just gotta stay around and the game will come to you.” At the party, held at the Gansevoort Park Avenue Hotel rooftop, co-star and party honoree Mariska Hartigay paid tribute to Ice, calling him the “OG” of the show. Harry Connick Jr., Law & Order creator Dick Wolf and actress Kelly Giddish were also spotted at the private party. TV Guide Magazine Celebrates Mariska Hargitay & ”Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”   Ice, accompanied by his buxom wife, Coco, said he was just happy to still be doing something he loves every day. “Now, to be doing Law & Order for 18 seasons, who could’ve imagined that? So I’m just happy to still be in the game. you can’t really say more than that.” And the “Cop Killer” rapper insisted he didn’t sell out by playing law enforcement on TV and the big screen. “Do your research – every rapper has played a cop,” he said. “Tupac played a cop, Dr. Dre played a cop. Snoop Dogg played a cop. So it’s kind of like a rite of passage when you get to be in movies…I think when you cast a street cat as a street cat, that’s not acting. When you cast us as law enforcement or as a teacher, you get a cop with an interesting dynamic, and it works on a screen.” Hit the flip for more party pics:

White Folks Say The Darndest Things About Their Black Kids

Sandra Bullock Talks Parenting On Harry Connick Jr.’s New Show We might be a little sensitive, but this conversation between Sandra Bullock and Harry Connick Jr. about her beautiful brown babies has us wondering… even if People.com thinks it was “cute.” The Oscar-winning actress caught up with old friend Harry Connick Jr. on his new daytime show Harry, and gave a cute update on her son Louis, 6, and 4-year-old daughter Laila. “The babies are so good. So loud. So loud. I have the loudest children on the planet, I don’t know if it’s the acoustics, but they are amazing,” Bullock, 52, shares before the host adds, “That’s because they are New Orleans kids, man.” New Orleans kids? Word?

Jennifer Lopez Drops F Bomb on American Idol: OOPS!

Last night marked yet another mediocre performance episode of American Idol Season 13. But at least Jennifer Lopez did all she could do to liven up the live proceedings… but dropping an F Bomb during one of her critiques! The accidental incident took place when J. Lo was gushing over Jena Irene and her cover of Evanescence’s “Bring Me To Life. Lopez gave Irene props for sounding “phenomenal,” but added that she yearned for the hopeful to be “more messy.” In describing how she wanted Irene to toss her hair around and go crazy, Lopez demonstrated this movement herself, which prompted Harry Connick Jr. to chant for his colleague to do another “hair flip.” The crowd then got into it and the censors sprung into action when J. Lo let out an audible curse in response. It was all in good fun and if you blinked you may have missed it… but humorous the funny clip now:  Jennifer Lopez Curses on Air Lopez covered her mouth immediately after letting the swear fly, while Connick announced, “That’s Jenny from the block!” The artist then completed her positive evaluation of Irene and likely wanted to crawl into a hole beneath the stage. Really, though, Lopez can relax: Tom Hanks dropped an F Bomb on Good Morning America awhile back and the incident didn’t exactly affect his career or his reputation.

Duck Dynasty and American Idol Return to Low Ratings

They both introduced new characters, they were both heavily promoted… and they both tanked in the ratings. American Idol and Duck Dynasty returned to the airwaves last night, but the returns weren’t especially triumphant. Idol, for example, garnered 15 million total viewers, but only a 4.5 rating among 18-49-year olds, which set a record low for the series. This, despite America falling in love with Harry Connick, Jr. Harry Connick Jr. Dominates Idol Premiere Duck Dynasty Season 5 , meanwhile, introduced viewers to Rebecca Robertson. But the opener was down 3.5 million total households from its Season 4 premiere a year ago. Among the aforementioned key demographic, ratings fell by 33 percent. Could fans have been turned off by the Phil Robertson controversy ? It’s possible. Watch Duck Dynasty online now if you failed to catch either of the return episodes last night.
