“In Living Color” Cast Reflects On Show’s Start, Talk Unseen Clips And Ticking Off Spike Lee And Arsenio Hall

Source: Heidi Gutman / Getty “In Living Color Cast” Talks About Ticking Off Other Talent And Sketches That Never Saw Daylight We’ll forever love “In Living Color” (shout out to our BOSSIP Fam David Alan Grier ) The Hollywood Reporter released released an in-depth oral history of In Living Color with Keenen Ivory Wayans , Jim Carrey, David Alan Grier, Carrie Ann Inaba, and more today, twenty-five years after the groundbreaking sketch show ended. We wanted to share some of the stories the cast and crew told about what went on behind-the-scenes and how execs pitched the show to Keenan Ivory Wayans as a “black ‘Laugh-In.’” Check out the excerpts below via THR: Tommy Davidson, on why he got In Living Color over SNL: When I landed In Living Color, I was a hot comic. A week before getting the job I had met with Lorne Michaels in his office in 1990 [for a potential SNL spot]. He lined it up for me and said, “I don’t want a black comedian. Eddie Murphy was a mistake. I don’t want a person that stands out.” I was confused. I was born black. There’s not a zipper in the back of this thing.[A spokesperson for SNL replies: “This account is without merit. Chris Rock, Tim Meadows and Ellen Cleghorne were all hired into the cast between 1990 and 1991.”] Jim Carrey, on sketches that didn’t make it to air: We were warped out of our minds. We presented several sketches that didn’t make it on the air, things that were just too insane, like the abortion rally ventriloquist. We came up with a sketch called “Make a Death Wish Foundation” about a dead kid whose posthumous wish was to go to an amusement park. That did not make it on air, either. But I came up with the face of the kid, and it eventually turned into the “Fire Marshall Bill” face. David Alan Grier, on the show’s … fans: Spike Lee hated the show. He got really mad at us because he thought we were over-the-top about Do the Right Thing. He did not like us making fun of him. People would get angry when we poked fun at them. Arsenio Hall too — anybody that we really poked fun at. Carrie Ann Inaba, on working with Jennifer Lopez: There was magic in the skits, and the Fly Girls had this cult following. [Choreographer] Rosie Perez pushed us hard. She didn’t know how to pronounce words like “pirouette,” but it didn’t matter. She had a vision. And Jennifer Lopez, we all knew she was destined for greatness. She was a very determined young woman. Really juicy stuff right? You’ve got to read the whole thing!

Jenelle Evans Responds to Rumors She Gave David Eason a Black Eye

Another day, another absolutely bat sh-t Jenelle Evans rumor. We're seeing a bit of a change of pace this time around, as today's story has nothing to do with Jenelle's alleged mistreatment of her children and everything to do with her alleged mistreatment of her husband, David Eason. There's a debate to be had over whether or not it's possible to mistreat David, as dude pretty much deserves every bad thing that happens to him. But for now we'll keep the discussion to David's (alleged) black eye and Jenelle's bonkers explanation of how it happened. Take a look: 1. The Dueling Easons As you probably know, there’s been plenty of violence over the cours of the Easons’ marriage. 2. The Call One of the ugliest altercations ended with David drunkenly fleeing the property in his truck while Jenelle called 911 and reported that Eason had broken her collarbone. 3. Hard to Forget Jenelle later dismissed the incident and explained to fans that it was simply a “drunk and dramatic misunderstanding.” 4. A Repeated Pattern But it wasn’t the first allegation of violence in the Easons’ marriage — nor would it be the last. 5. Every Small Town Has That One Family … It wasn’t the last time that the authorities would pay a visit to the Eason household. 6. Happy Household In fact, dozens of calls and incidents have resulted in David and Jenelle being visited by the police, the Secret Service, and CPS (more than 20 times) all in the past 12 months.

Jess Hilarious Posts & Deletes That Her “Soulmate” Kountry Wayne Is Better Off Going Back To His Wife

Source: Paras Griffin/Jeff Kravitz / Getty Jess Hilarious Vents Over Kountry Wayne Situation Jess Hilarious had some stuff to get off of her chest last night, pretty obviously pertaining to her real life. The comedian posted and deleted a rant about a familiar situation involving a married man: “You ever been in a situation where you just rushing to find love so you jump and get married? But THEN you find your soul mate?” Jess said about the situation. “So now you leave her, get with somebody else, and 4 months later ya’ll break up. So now you looking dumb. Then you get to thinking to yourself ‘maybe this b-tches soul wasn’t what I thought it was cracked up to be.’ Maybe that’s why you should’ve cheated with her first. Like a test run, just to see.” Interesting, because Jess Hilarious and married stand up comedian Kountry Wayne dated earlier this year. They went public with their relationship in January but called it quits officially at the end of April. The four-month relationship ended on good terms according to both parties. During their courtship, Kountry Wayne gifted Jess a house . Recently, he’s been back to focusing on his career and his 9 children, but did he return to his wife? Happy Father's Day pic.twitter.com/CcVFpcwyuU — Kountry Wayne (@kountry_wayne) June 16, 2019 Jess seemingly confirms that Wayne maybe working things out with Gena , his legal wife. She continued her bit about a confused man: “Everything be good in the beginning but then you find she [your soulmate] smoke, but you don’t smoke…she drink, you don’t drink…you vegan, so you eat plants, she don’t…she rolls them up. So, now you see your wife’s soul may be a little better. She just got boring for a second. But that’s why you say ‘for better or for worse’. When the going gets rough you can’t just go around auditioning for souls like it’s a damn TV show. Stay with your wife.” Interesting! Fun fact, Kountry Wayne is a proud vegan who doesn’t drink or smoke. He also refrains from cursing in his acts. Comments started pouring in on Jess’ take on this and she eventually deleted the rant, but you can catch a part of it HERE.

Katy Perry to Taylor Swift: You Can Come to My Wedding on One Condition …

Well, by now you’ve probably heard the news that Taylor Swift and Katy Perry have ended their feud . And not only have the pop stars buried the hatchet, they’ve also embarked on a very enthusiastic — and very public — friendship. The whole thing feels more like a corporate merger than an end of a personal rivalry, but hey — we suppose it’s preferable to Swift and Perry constantly making tabloid headlines by taking petty shots at each other. The feud was pretty entertaining at first, but as it entered its fifth year, the dueling divas schtick began to wear thin. So whether it’s due to newfound maturity or the realization that they’re more interesting to the public as friends than as enemies, Katy and Taylor have called a truce. And they’ve gone from enemies to besties in record time. Katy is engaged to Orlando Bloom these days, and while a wedding date has not yet been made public, it seems that Perry has already curated her guest list. According to a new report from Radar Online, Taylor made the cut — but she’s been cautioned not to try and steal Katy’s thunder. “Katy invited both Taylor and her boyfriend to the wedding, but there was one condition — she cannot wear white,” an insider tells the site. That’s pretty standard wedding etiquette, but we suppose when you’ve spent the past half-decade publicly trash-talking one of your guests, it’s best to make the rules explicit and not leave anything to chance. As for what’s next for the singers, it should come as no surprise that Swift and Perry are planning to release a single together. “A collaboration between the two is already in the works and has been since they reunited,” says the source. “They are so much alike and they know how lucrative their friendship can be.” But it’s not all about the bottom line, of course. Katy and Taylor are both seeing dollar signs these days, but insiders say their connection is genuine, and they’re both benefitting from their renewed friendship in numerous ways. “Neither one of them really have anyone who can relate to them, and Katy is really giddy about this,” says the source. “They are both with other men now and they’re not going to let all of that continue to come in between them. “They laugh about it now because of how immature they both were.” Publicly, Taylor has suggested the media was to blame for her feud with Katy, but privately, she’s reportedly accepted partial responsibility. The insider claims that both women have reflected on what sort of negative influence they may have had on their impressionable fan bases by engaging in years of “mean girl” behavior. And now, they’re hoping to lead by example: “They are going to use their newfound friendship to help people instead of to create headlines,” says the insider. Sounds like a plan to us!

Kyle Richards: I SO Want Chrissy Teigen To Replace Lisa Vanderpump on RHOBH!!

With Lisa Vanderpump stepping down from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills , major conversations are taking place as to who will replace the star.  Many women have been thrown into the discussion, including Kyle Richards’ sisters Kim and Kathy Hilton.  But Kyle thinks there’s someone much better fitted to fill the role on Bravo’s most successful franchise:  Chrissy Teigen!  Even though Kyle knows it’s “too preliminary” to replace Lisa, who quit the show earlier this month , she’s allowed to dream, right?  Yes. And we’re so here for it. 100%. “We’ve fantasized and talked about things,” Richards told Us Weekly while celebrating Paris Hilton’s partnership with The Glam app on Wednesday, June 19. “People always ask. I would say, Chrissy Teigen.” “But I know she won’t do it so I gotta think of somebody else now, because I know she’s never going to do it,” she said. And even though it does seem unlikely for John Legend’s wife to join the cast, nothing is impossible!  Besides, Chrissy lives a lavish lifestyle, resides in the neighborhood of Beverly Hills, and already has some experience in the world of reality TV.  So we will fancy the idea right along with Kyle, because yes, it is a good one.  Richards also took a moment to discuss current filming without her ex-bestie Vanderpump. “We have 21 episodes without her so, I mean it’s different,” she shared. “But you know, the show is doing well.” “So, you know it’s exciting,” she revealed to Us , “and there’s a lot going on with all the women.” “I miss her as a cast member and a friend, but the show is doing well.”  Though Richards and Vanderpump recently had a major falling out, Kyle is hopeful for the future of their friendship. She admits that she “would like to think” that they will reunite one day and continue their friendship.  “I’m sure one day it will be OK,” she states. But Lisa is shaking her head no. After Kyle accused her longtime friend of selling a story about Dorit Kemsley’s dog to the press, Lisa was screaming cheerio (we imagine) to her fellow castmate.  Following the drama, the  Vanderpump Rules star confirmed to Us that she was leaving the Bravo show after nine seasons.  “I made the decision to leave. It was a very difficult year for me, personally and professionally,” she said. “The housewives, it’s just, it’s emotionally too difficult to deal with.” Lisa even skipped the reunion taping this month because of all the chaos with the girls this season, also meaning she missed out on a large chunk of cash.  “Lisa only gets half of her pay for the season if she doesn’t go to the reunion, but she still chose not to go,” one insider told Us Weekly . “The women get half of their pay before shooting starts and the other half after the reunion.” “So Lisa lost money,” shared the source. But we don’t think the British restauranteur was too terribly affected by her lack of earnings that day.  In fact, it sounds like she is doing much better without all the negativity and drama that is the Housewives.  And as for Chrissy, well we think she would fit right in — offering her hilarious and mocking quips, of course.
