Release date set for ‘Coming to America’ sequel
Get ready because Eddie Murphy is coming to America, again!
Paramount confirmed Monday that the actor will star in a sequel to “Coming to America,” set to hit theaters next year.
Craig Brewer will direct and Kenya Barris is executive producing.
Little has been revealed about the new plot. In the original, Murphy played an African prince [Akeem] who comes to Queens, New York to avoid an arranged marriage. The film also starred James Earl Jones, Arsenio Hall, Shari Headley and John Amos.
According to Deadline, “Akeem learns about a long-lost son, and must return to America to meet the unlikely heir to the throne of Zamunda.”
Murphy has a lot to celebrate these days, with the recent birth of his 10th child. The 57-year-old actor and his fiancée, Paige Butcher, 39, welcomed a son named Max Charles Murphy, last year.
The as-yet untitled “Coming to America” sequel is scheduled to hit theaters on August 7, 2020.

Blac Chyna slams exes Rob Kardashian, Tyga: ‘I never asked for child support’
Article via PageSix
Blac Chyna wants to set the record straight regarding reports surrounding her former relationships with baby daddies Rob Kardashian and Tyga.
Chyna spoke out in a since-deleted Instagram Live video about the recent headlines against her, including her mother, Tokyo Toni, saying Chyna’s kids should live with their fathers.
“Ya know what’s so wild to me is that I never asked Tyga for child support, Rob for child support or whatever and then we just went to court, or whatnot, and I tried to squash it, which I did,” said the 30-year-old Lashed salon owner. “But none of that comes out. It’s only negative s–t.”
The former “Rob & Chyna” star spoke of her court battles with Rob and said she wrapped up those cases as quickly as possible.
“We went to court mediation and s–t and I squashed it ’cause I never wanted no money from Rob, ’cause it was never about that, period,” she said of her ex-fiancée, who has since given up control of his Arthur George sock line. “I have kids by two guys that f–king tricked me, whatever, and they don’t give me s–t, no child support and I’m sick of that s–t.”
Chyna, who despite splitting from artist Kid Buu after a police-involved brawl in Hawaii, said she’s living her “f–king life” and it’s no thanks to Rob or Tyga.
“Rob didn’t help me, Tyga ain’t help me, Toni ain’t help me, but like try to like, smack me down, period, and I’m just letting y’all know this, all this s–t, I built by myself,” she said.
Although she claimed she’s never asked for child support, Rob and Chyna have been locked in a legal battle over it for months, with Rob requesting to pay less money to Chyna because his finances have taken a hit since he stepped away from social media. In fact, his attorneys determined that Chyna should pay Rob instead.
Chyna’s attorney, Lisa Bloom, balked at the idea, claiming Rob has “deliberately retreated from social media to reduce his income so that he can pay less child support.”
She added, “Poor little rich boy. What kind of father doesn’t want to support his own baby?”
Reps for Tyga and Rob didn’t immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

Bill Cosby’s spokesman says the comedian thinks prison is an ‘amazing experience’
Article via CNN
Despite the circumstances, Bill Cosby said his time in prison is an “amazing experience,” his press spokesman Andrew Wyatt said in a TV interview.
Wait, really?
“Yeah, he used the term amazing experience,”
Wyatt said.Wyatt’s interview with WCAU in Philadelphia provides new details of Cosby’s time behind bars at SCI Phoenix, the prison outside Philadelphia. Cosby was sentenced in September to three to 10 years in prison for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand at his home in 2004.
The case came after dozens of women came forward with accusations that Cosby had drugged and assaulted them in similar incidents over his lengthy career atop the comedy world.
Cosby was moved to the prison’s general population two weeks ago and is now in a single cell without a cellmate, said Amy Worden, press secretary for the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections. He was previously being held in a single cell in a unit adjacent to the infirmary.
Bill Cosby’s wife Camille has not yet visited him in prison, and that’s just how Cosby prefers it, Wyatt said.
“Right now I’m his only visitor outside of his attorneys, and that’s the way he wants it,” Wyatt said.
“She has not visited him. He does not want her to visit him.”
Instead, Cosby prefers to speak to his wife by phone — three times a day for three minutes each, Wyatt confirmed. The prison, 30 miles outside of Philadelphia, is about a 30- to 45-minute drive from Montgomery County, where Cosby has a home.
‘He’s mentally strong’
In the NBC10 interview, Wyatt said Cosby has lost weight while behind bars. He wakes up at 3:30 in the morning to exercise in his cell, and also has avoided eating bread or dessert in prison, Wyatt said.
“And he hasn’t drank any coffee since he’s been in there. Now the funny part about it (is) Mrs. Cosby’s been trying to stop him from drinking coffee for 55 years and it took this to stop him from drinking coffee,” Wyatt said.
“He’s mentally strong. He’s just a strong man,” Wyatt added.Wyatt told CNN last week that Cosby is living largely separated from other inmates, except that he has helpers who guide him around because of his vision problems.”He does not eat in the area with other residents, he does not have a cellmate, and he does not exercise with other residents,” Wyatt said last week.
The general population cells where Cosby is being held are arrayed in two stories around a central “day room,” where inmates can talk, watch TV or play cards, Worden said. Like all other general population inmates, Cosby must be accounted for in his cell seven times a day.

Jussie Smollett To Be “Held Accountable” For Potential False Report, Police Claims
Article via HotNewHipHop
The Chicago Police Department is casting doubt on the actor’s story.
An investigation was launched after Jussie Smollett reported an attack. The Chicago Police department initially announced that the case would be treated with care as a potential hate crime. After running into issues with gaps in video footage and other setbacks, legal authorities have decided to specify that Jussie Smollett will be held accountable if his report proved to be false.
Rafer Weigel of Fox News referred to the force’s superintendent to tweet: “#ChicagoPolice Supt Eddie Johnson says #JussieSmollett is still being treated as the victim in this case but if the investigation does reveal he made a false report he will be held accountable.”
The idea of punishment for filing a false report is definitely nothing new. In recent years, the Black community has asked for this concept to apply to scenarios in which apparently racist individuals call the police for absurd “reasons.” In this context, Johnson’s statement is questionable. The investigation is still ongoing, as he specified, so projecting the current victim into the future as a defendant is unusual.
This decision may come to the fact that many factions of the public have expressed skepticism in relation to Jussie’s testimony. Ironically, Johnson has poked holes in the”innocent until proven guilty” motto by adding to the speculations by mentioning the possibility of a false report, a hypothetical scenario that is always at play. Why mention it?

Calls for Liam Neeson to be digitally removed from ‘Men In Black’ after racist comments
Article via FOXnews
Calls for Liam Neeson to be removed from the upcoming “Men In Black” film are making the rounds on social media after the actor made highly controversial statements about wanting to find and kill a black person.
As previously reported, Neeson spoke in an interview where he revealed that he walked the streets with a “cosh” years ago hoping that a black man would accost him so that he could take out his anger over the recent rape of a close friend. The star appeared on “Good Morning America” to address the controversy, but fans far and wide felt he missed the mark once again.
“We were doing a press junket and the topic of our film was revenge,” he said. “The lady journalist was asking, ‘How do you tap into that?’ and I remembered an incident nearly 40 years ago when a friend of mine was brutally raped I was out of the country and when I came back she told me about this … I had never felt this feeling before which was a primal urge to lash out.”
Following the remarks, a large contingent of critics took to Twitter to call for Neeson’s character in the upcoming “Men In Black International” to be digitally removed. The film takes place in the world of the first three “Men In Black” movies but stars Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson rather than any of the series’ original stars. Neeson plays one of the higher-up agents in the ranks, but several fans are asking for him to be given the boot.
“I really hope it’s not too late to digitally erase that racist f— Liam Neeson from the new Men In Black movie,” one user wrote.
“Was really excited for Men in Black: International with @chrishemsworth & @TessaThompson_x. Was 1 of my most anticapated (sic) films for 2019. Hated his casting before the horrifying controversy, but now really hope it’s not too late to digitally erase racist f— Liam Neeson from it,” another said.
“You can literally hear Liam Neeson evaporating from all the upcoming Men in Black International marketing,” wrote another.
“@MenInBlack boycott Men In Black the gutless coward Liam Neeson said he was walking around looking to kill an innocent black man who had nothing to do with his personal issues he’s a gutless coward and a racist bigot boycott Men in Black,” a more blunt user noted.Whoops! We couldn’t access this Tweet.
Others noted the parallel between Neeson’s situation and the recent predicament the film “All The Money In The World” faced. When it was revealed that Kevin Spacey was caught up in a sexual misconduct scandal, actor Christopher Plummer was brought in to do reshoots on the film so as to remove the specter of Spacey entirely.
“I guess Sony pictures will soon be hiring Christopher Plummer to replace Liam Neeson in the upcoming Men In Black reboot,” one user joked.
“Christopher Plummer is currently reshooting Liam Neeson’s scenes in Men In Black International,” said another.

Chicago police say ‘Empire’ actor Jussie Smollett refuses to hand over cellphone to them
Article via NBCNews
The actor declined to share telephone records that could show he was speaking with his manager during his alleged assault.
CHICAGO — “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett has refused to turn over his cellphone to detectives, who are investigating the alleged attack that sent him to the hospital earlier this week, Chicago police said Thursday.
The actor declined to share telephone records that could show he was speaking with his manager just as the alleged assault happened early Tuesday morning in Chicago, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told NBC News.
Smollett has told police he was confronted by two men who allegedly hurled racist and homophobic slurs just before they beat him up. They are investigating the case as a possible hate crime.
The manager has told police he heard the attackers say, “This is MAGA country,” during the assault, officials said.
When police asked Smollett for his cellphone and records to confirm the call, he refused to share them, according to Guglielmi.
It wasn’t immediately clear if Chicago police would seek to obtain those records independently.
A representative for the actor could did not immediately return messages seeking comment about the cellphone and phone records.
But in a prepared statement issued late Thursday afternoon, Smollett’s family, through the same representative, reiterated his claim of being attacked because of his race and orientation.
“In the early hours of Tuesday morning, our beloved son and brother, Jussie, was the victim of a violent and unprovoked attack. We want to be clear, this was a racial and homophobic hate crime,” according to the family statement.
“Jussie has told the police everything from the very beginning. His story has never changed, and we are hopeful they will find these men and bring them to justice.”
Police have reviewed hundreds of hours of footage from more than 20 surveillance cameras in the area, according to Guglielmi. They have not found any images of the alleged attack, but do have footage that shows part of Smollet’s journey to and from the neighborhood.
Police have released pictures, taken from surveillance cameras, of two “potential people of interest” but stopped short of calling them suspects.E
jesse smallette late night attack
I’m going to be an asshole and have an opinion. Something about this attack does not sound right. I do hope that Jesse recovers and gets well. I know one thing I’m going to be keeping up with the story. Jesse may not have been looking for a late night snack in the food aisle. But he may have been looking for a hotdog and some nuts.
