Bruce Almighty co-stars Jim Carrey and Steve Carell have teamed up again to bring another Dr. Seuss tale to the big screen. Carrey, who starred in Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas, will play the lead in Horton Hears a Who!, while Carell will portray the Mayor of Whoville in the project. Comedienne Carol Burnett, who plays the villainous Kangaroo in the film, says, “I’ve yet to meet Jim or Steve and I hope I do. Maybe Steve can get me on (TV show) The Office, which I love. And I wish Jim and I could be on the same set together because I think we could be ad-libbing and overlapping and stuff. It would be wonderful.” Yeah yeah, these comedians, once they are on the sets together then God help the other members of the crew, for their pranks could be nasty and the one caught for the pranks could be really harassed to say the least. Pranks played on friends or anyone is fine till its fun but could get nasty if it’s getting personal. And let’s see how the movie shapes out to be.

Queen Latifah thrilled fans at the Hollywood Bowl on Wednesday night when she brought her father onstage. The Chicago star, real name Dana Owens, was performing jazz standards and show numbers at the famed Los Angeles venue when she halted the show to pay tribute to her dad. The former rapper credited her father with introducing her to the classics she now performs. Among the highlights of Latifah’s Hollywood Bowl show was a jazzy version of the Mamas & The Papas’ California Dreamin’. This lady surely knows her work well, even the couple of movies that I have seen of hers were truly an awesome performance that packed a punch in the role. Most of these star would forget to even mention their parents names at an awards function or at an important time, it’s nice to see that see she introduced her dad to the audience. I’ve loved the Queen since she was a rapper. Strong successful woman!
