This year we intend to drop more videos in our Ah Skit section we introduced over a year. Yes, we know we fell off with this a bit, but we are back now, and better than ever. What better way than to start off 2012, than with comedian Nate Jackson? Anyway, here is the character reel he submitted to the folks at the casting department for the new In Living Color Show. what do you think?
Here is a clip of T.I. & Tiny’s reality show, and what we found amazing was that Big Boi of Power 106 collapsed while filming, and had a seizure! I don’t think anyone outside of the Power 106 Family even knew he was having health issues! Check out the clip below;

According to TMZ.com, a couple of days ago a prisoner filed a lawsuit against Martin Lawrence and Tyler Perry for the sketch titled Skank Robbers that was featured on the 2010 BET Awards almost two years ago, and was later mentioned to becoming a feature film. In the sketch Martin Lawrence and Jamie Foxx donned their infamous characters from Martin and In Living Color– their perspective shows.
If you saw the sketch you would think that the prisoner has no idea of what he is talking about because Tyler Perry is NOT in the video.
But hold on; we have some news that we are sure you didnt know.
We discovered that when Martin and Jamie first came up with the idea, they did approach Tyler Perry to be in the sketch but he declined. We also hear that because he declined they decided to make it without him and to try to add more punch to it, hence them planning on adding Halle Berry when word of it leaked that they were going to make this into a film.
Now after knowing all of this, what do you think?
Here is the article from TMZ;
Jamie Foxx and Tyler Perry are being sued for $1 million each by a prisoner — who claims the duo jacked his idea for a groan-worthy new comedy … starring Foxx, Perry, and Martin Lawrence … all dressed as women.
In case you haven’t heard … the project is called “Skank Robbers” — a wacky action comedy about two lady bank robbers … with Lawrence’s Sheneneh character from “Martin,” Foxx’s Wanda from “In Living Color,” and according to reports … Tyler Perry‘s Madea … from every bad movie you’ve seen. The project is reportedly in development.
Enter Shamont Lyle Sapp — who, coincidentally, says he’s serving time in Oklahoma for 10 bank robberies — he’s filed a lawsuit, claiming he gave Foxx and Perry the idea for the project … and they cut him out of the action.
According to the docs, Shamont had the idea to unite the three characters in one film — but his version wasn’t a comedy about bank robbers … it was a drama about a mental hospital.
The lawsuit encapsulates Sapp’s idea — “A male white mental patient takes Madea hostage … He deals with phone calls from the negotiators, as Madea actually pleads for her life in a very sad tear-jerking way … Her pleas are to be very sad. No jokes at all.”
Sounds like a blast. Shamont is also suing Fox Broadcasting and producer David Zuckerman for a total of $4 million in damages. Calls to Foxx and Perry’s camps were not returned.
Looks like a bogus suit … Foxx and Martin did a “Skank Robbers” sketch for the BET Awards in 2009 … which aired a month before Sapp even pitched his idea to Perry

According to our friends over at EURWeb.com they were able to get the exclusive on how the singer Vesta Williams, who passed away in a hotel room on Sept. 22nd., died so mysteriously.
Here is the report from EURWeb.com;
*EURweb has exclusively learned the cause of death of R&B singer Vesta Williams, who died in her sleep in a California hotel room on Sept. 22, 2011.
Singer Norwood Young received word from members of Vesta’s family that the beloved singer passed away from complications of an enlarged heart. The Williams family was given the autopsy report a “day or two ago” according to Young.
“Although it’s a sad situation overall, it’s great news to find that Vesta’s death, as I said from the very beginning, was not drug related,” Young , who was a good friend of the R&B singer, told EUR’s Lee Bailey. “Vesta did indeed die from an enlarged heart. As we know, an enlarged heart can remain undetected in the body for many, many years.”

Young said that obesity and stress may have also contributed to the beloved 53-year-old R&B singer’s untimely death.
In recent years, Vesta had battled with a drug problem and obesity. She beat both–and lost 100 pounds. The singer is best known for her top ten singles “Once Bitten, Twice Shy,” “Don’t Blow a Good Thing,” and “Congratulations.”
Asked if Vesta was taking medication for the heart condition, Young said no.

“One thing about an enlarged heart, eight out of 10 deaths are sudden,” Young pointed out.
“This news could not come at a more appropriate time,” said Young, who added that Vesta’s life and career will kick off a series of TV One specials entitled “Unsung,” that will air on January 2, 2012 at 10pm Eastern time.
Young, who was recently signed to E.D.M. Records and is in negotiations to star in a reality show, said that Vesta was always very appreciative of her fans.
“I hope her fans will continue to keep Vesta in their hearts and minds and to know that she loved her fans very, very much.”

Well, now we can give you some updated news from the Shaq Comedy Jam All-Star comedian; the title of his stand up special is titled True Story.

Up next for Owen is the new film titled Think Like a Man starring Kevin Hart, Michael Ealy, and Gabrielle Union (just to name a few) on March 9th.

We just discovered that that former NBA superstar Charles Barkley is in negotiations for his own show! Yep, that’s right! Word on the street is that Barkley is about to land a reality typed based show that will launch on a new network the beginning of next year! No word yet on the network, upcoming guests of the show, or if the show will be talk show based yet but we will find out shortly!
Also yesterday, NBC announced that Barkley will host Saturday Night Live for a third time on Jan. 7th. We hear that he’ll be joined by musical guest Kelly Clarkson, who will also make her third appearance on the NBC show.
As you already know, you can catch up with Barkley during the new NBA season as an analyst for TNT. This new season should be pretty fun to watch as former NBA All-Star Shaquille O’Neal will also make his TNT debut alongside Barkley, Ernie Johnson and former NBA player Kenny Smith.
The new season show kicks off in a special hour NBA Tip-off at 11 a.m. (ET).
We just discovered that the comedian known as Capone, probably best known nationally from several performances on the new seasons of Russell Simmon’s Def Comedy Jam, has recently joined the new Shaq Comedy All Star Jam Tour with 22 scheduled dates. Capone also stated that he is dropping his new book titled From The Hood To Hollywood, My Life Is No Joke.
Thanks to the radio broadcast of comedian Rodney Perry and his blogtalk radio broadcast titled Rodney Perry Live, Capone told the listening audience that he was the first one for the next tour that has yet to be scheduled.
The current tour consists of Michael Blackson, Gary Owen, DeRay Davis and Aires Spears. More news to come!

With all of the drama that Tamar Braxton creates on the show Braxton Family Values, this news comes as no surprise. According to Deadline, it seems that Tamar has landed her own show titled Tamar & Vince on the WE Network. Here is the article;
WE tv is taking a page out of E!’s playbook, greenlighting reality series Tamar & Vince, a spinoff of WE’s hit original series Braxton Family Values. It will center on youngest sister Tamar and chronicle her pursuit of pop stardom with the support of her husband Vince Herbert. The strategy mirrors that of E! with the family reality series Keeping Up With The Kardashians, which has sprung multiple spinoffs centered on breakout stars from the mothership series, including Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami, Kourtney & Kim Take New York and Khloe & Lamar. Filming of the eight-episode Tamar & Vince begins in March for a premiere tentatively scheduled for fourth-quarter 2012. Magical Elves is producing.
