They Did The Best They Could...

familyfeud.jpgJust when I think Ice-T can't get any more offensive, he goes and compares his wife to a sports car. On a family game show. In front of his mother-in-law. Host Al Roker seemed surprisingly unfazed by the show of misogyny, though. The "Ice-T Family" competed against Joan Rivers and Co. on Celebrity Family Feud last night. The families play for charities — Ice-T's was a gang prevention program and Joan Rivers' was a charity that gives guide dogs to the blind. You don't have to watch until the end of the episode to know that a few blind people woke up in really good moods this morning.

The first topic was "something that's slippery and hard to hold onto." You know where this is going.

icetcoco.jpg• Oh, Coco. I hope it's worth it. [Bossip]

• More on Suge Knight's trainwreck. I mean, reality show. [HR]

• The Council for Unity, an anti-gang group, actually effects change. Cool. [MSNBC]

• Yep, it's about that time for Nicole Richie to announce some new project. [PH]

• So it's come to this now. [JJP]

kwamekil.jpg• Kwame Kilpatrick is really acting like everything's gonna be okay. [BB]

• Ice-T's Coco needs to read a book or something. [MG]

• A black couple on the Food Network? Our country is totally ready for a black president. [YS]

• Eva Mendes is in rehab for "personal issues." [People]

• Like MoveOn.org's members, the vast majority of Color of Change's members are in Obama's corner. But this was much more expected. [COC]

It's quite a rarity to have so many hip hop luminaries in one room, or one (Hammerstein) ballroom, as it was. But VH1 managed to cram as much talent as possible into their Hip Hop Honors show, which taped last night but airs Monday at 10 pm. Yes, there was a lot of talent there, but I don't count Tracy Morgan, who hosted the awards and couldn't quite get that teleprompter thing down. Could his SCRAM have been going off right about that time? No worries, I'm sure they'll have that all cleaned up by Monday.

I had the pleasure of spending the evening in the press room, where the honorees and presenters came back to chat. In fact, so many VIPs were in attendance, I decided to write up my experiences in a handy superlative format. Check out the Best and Worst, plus lots and lots of pictures, after the jump.

Flavor Flav's Comedy Central Roast took place this weekend. The comedians were probably thrilled to have a subject that made the whole thing so shamefully easy. Most of the Charm School girls and Brigitte Nielsen were in attendance, of course. How sweet! But no New York? Pics after the jump.

More Ice Than T

  • Ice-T needs to stay out in that sun for a few hours. Coco has more color than he does. [HT]
  • Usher makes it rain. How original. [King]
  • When Miss Jones does the Karrine Steffans thing, it's less salacious and more, I don't know, sad. [EUR]
  • This is some of the material you might see on Hot Ghetto Mess. The fact that it must be stopped need not be repeated. [C&D]
  • I don't get it. Is Eve streetwalker chic or is she in the market for a streetwalker? [JJ]
  • Guess Who

    Being Bobby Brown was a guilty pleasure. Flavor of Love, I didn't watch per se, but when I did catch the show, it was like a train wreck that I couldn't look away from. That said, I will never, ever, ever watch Beauty in the Beast, a new reality show starring Ice-T and Coco.

    Unless it's really good.

    [AHH]

    Entertainment Weekly Celebrates Its Ultimate Must List Issue

    amerie.jpg

    Here's the thing about celebrity-soaked parties. I know that they're for work, but they can't be fun can they? The planners select a pretty unrelated group of people in the entertainment industry — like the group at last night's Entertainment Weekly party — and invite them to stand around a room together in pretty outfits, sipping drinks from liquor sponsors.

    What does Amerie have to talk about with Montel Williams or Janice Combs, for instance? What does Coco have to talk about with anyone? Actually, does she talk, or does Ice-T speak for her? These are the questions of the day. More pics after the jump.

    It's Legal

    loving_pattonthicke.jpg

    As I informed you earlier, today is the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision in Loving vs. Virginia, which officially legalized interracial unions. A group of overly sentimental people have dubbed this day Loving Day, during which we are all supposed to celebrate our legal right to love and marry whoever we want (as long as they're of the opposite sex). Here is a smattering of some famous interracial couples, starting with two of my favorites, Paula Patton and Robin Thicke.

    Entertainment Weekly 2007 Upfront Party

    ew_tayediggs.jpg
    Entertainment Weekly threw a party last night to celebrate the network upfronts, and someone who should have been a happier camper was Taye Diggs. His Grey's Anatomy spinoff show, tentatively and unfortunately titled, Private Practice (cringe), is a sure thing for next season. Okay, so maybe he doesn't have to look happy, but he could have at least put on something over his undershirt. And wife Idina Menzel could be a little more excited for him, too.
