REGINA KING: EXCITED & FRUSTRATED ABOUT THE RETURN OF THE BOONDOCKS

While promoting her upcoming comedy ‘Our Family Wedding,’ actress Regina King couldn’t contain her excitement for the return of the hit Cartoon Network series ‘The Boondocks.’

She also talked about her frustration too.

After a more than two-year hiatus, post-production is underway for the third season of the beloved show, which should be airing in coming months.

Although the Cartoon Network has yet to send out an official announcement confirming a premiere date for the new season, ‘Boondocks’ creator Aaron McGruder said via his social networking site that it should air March 28. The news coincides with his previous Twitter message on Christmas Day, in which he wrote, “Finally got an airdate for Season 3. Not sure if I’m allowed to put it out yet, so I’ll just say you got about three months.”

King, who voices two of the show’s lead characters, brothers Huey and Riley Freeman, has been a little peeved about how the show’s producers are handling the long-awaited return.

“I am so happy that it is coming back,” King told BV Newswire, but added, “I wish there was some Web site that people could send [a message] to Sony [Television Entertainment] … and say ‘What are you doing?’” she charged.

“‘Boondocks could be so bigger than what it is,” the former ’227′ actress furthered. “If I had the money to buy ‘The Boondocks’ off Sony, I would because all of you would be wearing ‘Boondocks’ T-shirts and there would be Huey and Riley dolls. I would capitalize off of that, and I would be a very rich woman.”

King cited Sony’s lack of experience with animation as a reason for the show’s delay and its failure to capitalize on ‘Boondocks’ merchandise.

The 38-year-old ‘Ray’ actress says her work on the show, based on McGruder’s popular comic strip of the same name, is her most popular to date.

“Actually more than any other project that I have done, that’s the one that I get asked about the most,” King revealed. “For a show to take two and half year hiatuses and people still want it to come back, that’s big,” she said.

The NAACP Image Award winner, who currently appears on TNT’s ‘Southland,’ says this season won’t disappoint with talked-about topics. It will continue to follow the footsteps of previous controversial episodes such as ‘The Trial of R.Kelly,’ ‘Let’s Nab Oprah’ and ‘Return of the King.’

“We are coming for some people, ya know, in true ‘Boondocks’ fashion,” King revealed.

The divorced mother of a 14-year-old son said that she is happy with how teenagers and young adults respond to the show and its satirical subject matters.

“[With the kids that are 16 through 25, they see the ridiculousness in things that are in videos when we make a parody out of it. ... They get it for exactly what it is, and I think it calls them on a lot of the stupid things that they embrace."

"They have never seen it in a caricature way," she added. "[When the kids] are seeing it in a video, it’s cool, but when you see it silly in a cartoon, it’s like, ‘Yeah, Soulja Boy isn’t that dope,’ she laughed.

“No diss to him, but we have in the new episodes this song where they guy is [rapping] ‘Crank That Artichoke’ because some of the hooks are so ridiculous. Of course, Aaron is going to go in and I’m excited about it.”

Lil Wayne Pleads Guilty to Gun Charges & Will Serve 1-Year Jail Sentence

Rapper Lil Wayne also known as Wayne Carter pleaded guilty to attempted weapon possession on Thursday, a surprise move that will land the Grammy-winning star in jail for a year, the AP reports. He previously had pleaded not guilty to illegal gun possession charges that carried at least 3½ years in prison. But with the plea, he agreed to a reduced sentence. He will officially be sentenced in February.

On July 27 2007 Police pulled over Wayne’s tour bus in Columbus Circle near NYC’s Central Park, they said they had seen and smelled marijuana smoke wafting out the door before the bus left a concert venue minutes earlier. Police said that as an officer approached, the rapper tossed away a Louis Vuitton bag containing a gun.

Prosecutors said trace amounts of DNA found on the loaded gun connected it to Wayne. His defense lawyer said the gun wasn’t his, and that there were flaws in the way the evidence was tested, the defense also disputed the whole premise used by officers to search the bus for pot.

According to the AP, Wayne acted politely in court when acknowledging that he had a .40 caliber semi-automatic gun on the bus.
Lil’ Wayne’s troubles with the law don’t end in NYC, though. He is also scheduled for trial in Arizona on felony drug possession and weapons charges. He has pleaded not guilty in that case, but in an interview with MTV last year the rapper took responsibility for the arrest, which was also on a tour bus.

“I was irresponsible at that time. Fucked up on my part. No ifs, ands, buts about it. I don’t blame nobody but myself. I can’t blame nobody for not taking my charge. … This is my bus.”

MTV's The Hottest MCs In The Game List & The Aftermath

Its that time Again & here is the List for MTV’s Hottest MCs In The Game for 2009

10. Raekwon
9. 50 Cent
8. Fabolous
7. Young Jeezy
6. Gucci Mane
5. Rick Ross
4. Kanye West
3. Drake
2. Lil Wayne
1. Jay-Z

From what i’m hearing & seeing on the net is that Hip Hop artists from Jadakiss, Lil Wayne & even Jay-Z who is #1 on the list isn’t really happy with it at all, as Hov goes in his letter to MTV saying

“MTV, Thanx for this nod of appreciation,” wrote Hov in a statement. “Although I don’t strive to be ‘hot’ for any particular year, I thank you for the acknowledgment. My whole goal is to be recognized as the best ever. I created the term ‘best rapper alive’ as a sign of respect to my fallen comrades (Biggie and Tupac). I believe I’ve allowed a significant grace period, and I believe I would not be respecting myself if being the absolute best was not my goal, and that’s why I continue to push myself until exhaustion … salute. Sidebar: Kanye moment if I may … Eminem?!?! I think you do the credibility of this list a disservice if you don’t thoroughly explain his omission. As of this second he has the highest selling rap album of the year and a scene stealing verse on the best ‘posse’ cut of the year . (*Hands mic back to Taylor Swift … and nobody was harmed, I apologize in advance.)

Now i too have to ask this like everyone else is….Where is Eminem & why is he not on the list??? And why in the hell is Gucci Mane on here???  (Insert C’MON SON! here)

Danger’s baby daddy is Nick Cannon’s younger brother Gabriel (her ex-fiance) who is in the group Rydaznrtist. Wow, I wonder what Mariah thinks about this! LOL.. Apparently, the group is on the 106 and Park tour and he will more than likely miss the birth of their child.  She tweeted:

“If I don’t go into labor tonight I’m going to the concert at the House of Blues. I want to see where my child support is going to come from. F*ck N*ggas in singing groups who can’t sing and leaves his girl seven months pregnant he needs to get his d*ck off. If you miss your own child’s delivery go ahead and kill yourself u r dead to me. For every insecure selfish little boy that can make a child and run away when its time to be a responsible grown up what goes around comes around“.

Damn… that’s how you feel, huh Danger

Unfortunately for Chris Rock, he is now being sued for the film. A lady by the name of Regina Kimbell claims she showed Chris her documentary titled “My Nappy Hair” in 2007 on the set of his show “Everybody Hates Chris”. Even though Chris has stated in interviews that he was inspired to do the film after he attended a Bronner Brothers Hair Show  followed by a conversation he had with his daughter regarding “bad hair” ten years later, Kim says he completely stole her idea.  Kim’s film featured celebrities and others who discussed hair techniques and styles of  African American women and won the best documentary prize at the 2007 Black Hollywood Film Festival.
