As more and more details of the weekend arrest of actors Jeffrey Wright and Josh Brolin outside of a bar in Shreveport, La., where they are filming the G.W. Bush biopic W, come out, the story becomes more and more horrifying. The fight started when some "good ol' boys" at the bar found out that the actors and crew were responsible for a Bush biopic with a liberal bent, and Wright joined in when racial slurs came into the mix. Apparently, once the police arrived, they also let loose with a racist tirade against Wright. Much of it is was caught on a cell phone camera, according to TMZ.

Oh, The South, what are we gonna do with you?

Broadway just got a little blacker. Well, maybe not black enough. As further proof that entertainers have a definite affinity for the Illinois senator, some of NYC's famous stage actors will be on hand for a special performance called "Barack On Broadway." Seriously.

From the press release:

During this special evening, billed BARACK ON BROADWAY, Obama will speak and a constellation of Broadway stars will perform, including Christine Ebersole, Marcia Gay Harden, Ruben Santiago Hudson, Kristen Johnson, Phylicia Rashad, Jeffrey Wright, and the Broadway Inspirational Voices. The event will be Directed by multi-Tony Award winner, George C. Wolfe, and feature readings from the works of some of America's greatest playwrights, compiled by John Lahr, Marsha Norman and Jack Viertel. Senator Obama's words will, of course, be his own.

Barack Obama now has the approval of both Oprah Winfrey and Claire Huxtable. Could a black man really ask for anything more?

Oh, right. The presidential nomination.

Kerry Washington was chosen by People magazine as one of their 50 most beautiful people. She deserves it, don't you think? Can you tell I love Kerry Washington and hope that one day she can get a role that doesn't require her to be the lead character's wife even though I know that can't happen until someone starts writing some quality roles for black actresses? Well, if it wasn't obvious how I felt, then it is now.

Here she is arriving at a Tribeca Film Festival party Friday. Check out more pics from the festival and the Radio One Springfest after the jump.
