Is Chris Tucker Bringing The ORIGINAL Cast of "FRIDAY" Back?!

Posted: 16 Nov 2011 07:09 AM PST

Smokey, Deebo, and Craig may be making a huge comeback!  Check out what Tiny Lister (who played Deebo) revealed about a possible 4th installment of Friday...with the original cast.

 

PLEASE let this happen.  After two follow ups to Friday--Next Friday and Friday After Next--with only a couple folks from the original cast like Ice Cube & Tiny Lister returning, it looks like the whole original cast is talking about getting back together.  Looks like Nia Long is about to have all kinds of comeback work between this and the Best Man reunion.

According to TMZ:

Tiny Lister was hangin' out in L.A. last night -- when the scariest man in Hollywood told us ... Tucker flew him out on his private jet recently to discuss the possibility of getting the ORIGINAL "Friday" crew back together.

FYI -- Tucker shot into superstardom playing pot-obsessed Smokey in the original "Friday" back in 1995 ... and then refused to appear in any of the sequels, citing religious reasons.

But now, Lister tells us ... Tucker and Cube have a big pow-wow set for next week to discuss a 4th "Friday" film ... adding, "This is gonna be the big one."

Chris Tucker claims he's got money problems--hence his new comedy tour--but still has a private jet?  I want HIS money probs...

Daaaaaaaaaamn.....

Paula Patton DISHES To "Complex" About On-Screen Catfights, Toting A Gun & Female Action Stars

Posted: 15 Nov 2011 11:12 AM PST

Don't let the good looks fool you! In the latest issue of "COMPLEX" Magazine, Paula Patton dishes on how "good" it felt to beat someone up on camera, how well she handles a gun, and her thoughts on female action stars. Get the deets and hot pics of "bad ass" Paula inside....

In the December 2011 / January 2012 issue of Complex, Paula Patton shows that beneath her good-girl image, she's a real (sexy) bad ass. 

Starring with Tom Cruise in the 4th installment of Mission Impossible, she dishes on her hubby helping her confidence, guns, and female action stars. Here are the highlights.

It’s safe to say that Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol is the biggest film of your career so far. Not every actress gets to be in a franchise that’s earned over $4 billion worldwide. Making Mission: Impossible was a dream come true. It challenged me as an actor because it’s so technical. Any time you’re challenged you get better. I learned so much from working with Tom Cruise—it was remarkable. Also, I got to do my own stunts, and that felt more freeing than anything I’ve ever done. To be able to be that physical was exciting.

There’s a scene in the movie where you come to blows with another actress. Did you have any real-life fighting experience?
Not at all. I’d never physically hit anybody until I was doing the rehearsal. They had a stunt man, and we were getting ready, and the timing got screwed up and I really connected with this guy’s chin. And, I have to say, it was gnarly! [Laughs.] But, also, I’ve never felt worse. It’s a whole other thing to hit skin. It didn’t feel good at all, and yet it was like, “Wow, that worked! I can really hurt someone.” It just goes to show you that the smallest person can inflict the most damage if they know what they’re doing, and it’s good for women to know that.

But it’s always good to know that you’re capable of knocking someone out.
Definitely. Listen, I’m not someone to be played with! [Laughs.] If need be, I can hurt someone. I don’t think there’s a problem with that. I just try not to be like, “Oh, I really want to sock this person in the face.” That’s not saying that I’m perfect. Ideally, I want to be a person who tries to have some compassion. But I have said things, like, “I’m going to strangle this person,” or, “I want to murder them!” [Laughs.] Which is horrible. I’m such a.... What’s the word for it? I waver back and forth; I’m many things at once.

Hollywood is definitely lacking in female action heroes. Is that something you’d be game for?
Hell yeah. I’d love to do more action films. I was always athletic as a child, so for me it’s fun to run and jump and get physical. I love all of that. It would be amazing to keep kicking ass in other films, or in more Mission: Impossible films—whatever comes my way. I’m just open to wherever life takes me. I try to put up light guardrails in my life, and leave room for things to come my way and surprise me. If you’re too rigid in your quest for something, you might not see the other amazing possibilities that are thrown at you.

What brought about your newfound sense of confidence?
Being honest with yourself as you get older, and after you live life longer. I’m more comfortable with my flaws now, and with that, you start to feel more confident. When you’re trying to hide all of your flaws, and you’re embarrassed by them, it can be so uncomfortable—very, very uncomfortable. You don’t know who you’re supposed to be. I just hit a certain point when I started to think, “You know what? These are my flaws, and I’m OK with them.” I love me! I’m doing the best I can with what I have. I’m not afraid to say that anymore. I feel comfortable in my own skin now.

How big of a factor is your husband in this new confidence?
He is my greatest supporter. He’s never stopped me from doing a single thing; he only encourages me to go for it. He tells me to do things before I even think I’m ready myself.

Would You Pay $150 For NeNe's New "I'm Very Rich B*tch" T-Shirt Line!?

Posted: 15 Nov 2011 10:14 AM PST

Bye Bye "Occupy All Streets," Hello Rich B*tches. Because the new must have t-shirt of the season...according to NeNe Leakes...is her own ish.  See NeNe's new business venture inside and decide if it's worth $150.

NeNe Leakes announced her latest venture on Twitter recently, showing a pic of the tee above and saying:

Check out I'm Very Rich Bitch T-shirts All Swarovski crystal.

You might recall she sparked this "catch phrase" during a verbal battle with co-star Sheree Whitfield on last week's premiere. 

When a follower asked how much they cost, she replied "$150!"

I'm not mad at her for capitalizing off of her "fame," Evelyn Lozada and others tried to do the same.  But who's gonna rock that t-shirt?  I mean...really.  Actually...I'm sure we all know a few people who would.  So nevermind.

Also in NeNe news......

The "RHOA" diva chatted with Andy Cohen and Tatyana Ali on "Watch What Happens" Sunday night.  She tweeted that she gave the audience pretty long legs and fierce shoes.  Thanks for your gifts NeNe.
