Good grief for "Good Hair"

A judge has ruled Chris Rock's documentary "Good Hair" can open nationwide despite an injuction sought by filmmaker Regina Kimball. Kimball maintains Rock's film drew inspiration from her film and copied aspects of her own documentary "My Nappy Roots". A judge in the case said she viewed both films and concluded they have different target audiences and portions do not seem to be similar at all. Kimball can still move forward with her lawsuit for copyright infringement and unfair competition. Kimball is seeking $5 million in damages.

Would you wife her?

Chris Rock talks about why his blind date years ago with Nia Long never turned into a second date: "She was kind of obnoxious. You know how you go on a date and this one thing means we are not going on a date again? At one point, I asked her 'So are you seeing anybody' and she says 'No, but I know where to get some good dick if I need it'”.

I have always liked Nia Long, so I was very surprised to hear her say something so classless. You just don't say things like this on a first date. Who wants to think they are dating a slut? I'm not saying having a 'maintenance man' makes you a slut, but you just don't talk about effing other people on a first date if you want a second one. Her comment was a deal-breaker for Chris. Would you wife her?

Are you tired of 'Good Hair' promo clips and the movie aint really out yet?

me too, so check out Nia Long talk about her blind date with Chris Rock on the Wendy Show last week...

Chris Rock's NEXT Film is a Oprah Collabo

Chris Rock will star in a new film about a white man's amusing attempts to make an African-American friend, reports Variety.

The movie is based on a GQ magazine article, "Will You Be My Black Friend?" in which writer Devin Freidman - a white man in his mid-30's - chronicled how he tried to befriend a black man by placing an ad on Craig's List.

"Admitting that you count your black friends is a violation of the Unracist White Person Magna Carta," wrote Freidman. "It was possible at the time, we could have a black president and still not have a very mixed country." "But really, I couldn't handle walking around knowing that I have the same number of black friends as George W. Bush."

Published in GQ's November 2008 issue, the article is an eye-opening, if somewhat tongue-in-cheek look at race relations. Harpo Films, Oprah Winfrey's (who is also considered to be a pseudo-white friend to many in her audience) production company, partnered with movie studio Lionsgate to buy the rights to the story and make it a star vehicle for Rock. Is Rock planning to play the white dude?

Faster than you can say "red carpet" someone has slapped a lawsuit on Chris Rock for his film "Good Hair." Chris and Nia Long have been hitting the talk show and magazine circuit to hheavily promote the documentary about the complicated relationship between Black women and their hair. A woman named Regina Kimbell claims she screened her documentary "My Nappy Roots" for Chris on the set of his television show "Everyone Hates Chris." Kimbell's film features (unnamed) celebrities discussing the evolution of various hairstyles throughout the Black community. Kimbell claims Chris co-opted her idea which won her the Best Documentary award at the Black Hollywood Film Festival in 2007. She is seeking at least $5 million in damages. In his defense, Chris has been telling interviewers he was inspired to do the film after conversations he had with his young daughter.
