Source: Ron Galella, Ltd. / Getty The Posse & The Crew From Back In The Day Set To Make Appearances All That is coming back for a new generation thanks to Nickelodeon and alumni Kenan Thompson . According to Variety , Nickelodeon will be reviving the variety show with an all-new cast, and Thompson will serve as executive producer. Thompson, who is currently the longest running cast member on Saturday Night Live , got his start on All That when the show premiered in 1994. Other cast members are expected to make appearances on the upcoming revival. “It means everything to me,” Thompson told Variety . “It was my first job that I ever had. It gave me an opportunity.” President of Nickelodeon, Brian Robbins , is also excited for the revival, saying the show “stayed in the zeitgeist for many years.” “People are really fond of it,” Robbins continued. Robbins was the co-creator and an executive producer on the original show, which featured stars like Thompson, Kel Mitchell, Amanda Bynes, Nick Cannon and Jamie Spears during its run. Various spin-offs and similar shows followed the success of All That , such as The Amanda Show , Kenan and Kel and Drake and Josh. “We think there’s a great opportunity to find the next pool of stars,” Robbins said. “We want to bring the show back in a real fun way. This summer, we are going to bring back a lot of the original cast and the cast through the years and let them introduce the new cast of All That to the world.” Robbins assured the show would be “a sort of mash-up of some of the old sketches and a lot of new sketches.” The idea pitched by Robbins was a “no-brainer” to Thompson. He said he and Robbins have “always remained close. He is one of my second fathers.” Thompson won’t be giving up his other job on SNL either, so he’s now making room for the many projects he has lined up. “If I’m not at the table read, I’ll be on the phone during the table read,’ he said. “I’ll be around.”

It’s a wrap—again… Larsa Pippen And Scottie Pippen Going Through With Divorce In case it wasn’t already clear before, Larsa and Scottie Pippen are indeed a wrap—for real this time. As previously reported the couple’s decided to pull the plug on their nearly 20-year marriage even after months of trying to reconcile. Now more details are being released. According to E! News , Larsa’s the one who ultimately decided that it was over and even a recent family trip to Universal Studios couldn’t save the relationship. “Larsa has been unhappy for a while now,” an insider explains to E!. “She’s just not happy with him. It’s definitely over.” Fortunately, the Scottie, 51, and Larsa, 42, remain on good terms. In fact, the amicable exes visited Universal Orlando Resort last Thursday and Friday with their children: Scottie Pippen Jr., 15, Preston Pippen, 14, Justin Pippen, 9, and Sophia Pippen, 8. And it was during that very visit that Scottie and Larsa realized it was time to move on. Despite Larsa and Scottie’s failed family trip, the two apparently still live together–roommate style and Larsa’s keeping that big ole rock she was seen wearing around the time she and her hubby were on the mend. “For now, the exes still live under the same roof—though they sleep in separate rooms. As for the ring Larsa was photographed rocking right after she reunited with Scottie, the insider says, “That’s her ring; she keeps it. It’s the same ring she’s always had. She just changed the setting.” Too bad they couldn’t work it out—surely a certain dirty Sprite sipping rapper isn’t to blame. Right??? Right. Splash News
