Chris Rock Saves The Day for Pregnant Woman

Posted by andPOP Staff on December 11th, 2010

Chris Rock was at Neiman Marcus in a New Jersey mall when a woman suddenly went into labour, reports Us.

The woman was on an escalator in front of Rock when her water broke. Rock took charge of the situation, calming the woman along with the crowd, until paramedics could arrive.

“He was making the crowd, and the woman in labor, laugh,” the witness said of the 45-year-old comic and father of two. “She recognized who he was immediately, and he stayed there until the paramedics took her away.”

Movie Review: Death At A Funeral

Posted by Ilan Mester on April 16th, 2010

There are two actors, their respective characters and subplots that keep “Death at a Funeral” alive: James Marsden on drugs and Tracy Morgan taking care of an elderly uncle.

A remake of the British comedy of the same title, the latest “Death at a Funeral” sticks to a similar plot. It focuses on a day in the life of a dysfunctional family that has come together for a funeral, this time in Los Angeles. This description may come across as a tear-jerker film, especially for those who haven’t seen the movie’s trailer. But make no mistake, “Death at a Funeral” is anything but a drama.

The movie stars some of the biggest names in American comedy, including Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence and Tracy Morgan. Unfortunately, it miscasts Rock, the movie’s protagonist. The funnyman plays the film’s most serious role, an older brother living in the shadow of his younger sibling (Lawrence).

The deceased has a secret one man (played in both movies by Peter Dinklage) threatens to share with the family — if you’ve seen the original, you’ll know exactly what it is. While this secret definitely shakes things up for the characters, it’s ultimately a mislabeled bottle of Valium that carries this movie through.

“Avatar’s” Zoe Saldana plays Elaine, Rock’s cousin who’s responsible for accidentally drugging her boyfriend, Oscar (Marsden). It’s worth noting that Marsden steals nearly every seen he’s in. Half of them involve him being naked and/ or or talking to a leaf.

There’s definitely some shock value to “Death at a Funeral” and even some laugh out loud moments involving other characters aside from Marsden. But there aren’t enough of those moments.

At times, the movie relies too much on pop culture references for laughs, which is weird seeing the number of talented comedic actors that make up its cast.

Posted by andPOP Staff on March 22nd, 2007

Comedian CHRIS ROCK undergoes regular therapy to help him stay off drugs.

The actor confesses therapy and drugs are his two biggest addictions and he needs the former to help him steer clear of the latter.

Rock says, “I have to go to therapy all the time. I need therapy. Or drugs. You quit for a while and then you know, it’s like, ‘I’m getting a little crazy again. Maybe I should go back.’”

Chris Rock Files for Divorce from Wife of 10 Years

Posted by Max Whiteside on November 6th, 2006

Rock has begun divorce proceedings against Malaak Compton-Rock, his wife of almost 10 years, reports TMZ.

Perhaps ironically, Rock is in post-production on his latest film, “I Think I Love My Wife.” I guess if you have to think about it and not know it, then divorce is inevitable.

The couple has two-year-old and four-year-old daughters.

Chris Rock’s Mom Sues for Racial Discrimination

Posted by andPOP Staff on October 18th, 2006

Chris Rock’s mother is suing Crackle Barrel restaurants for racial discrimination.

The Associated Press is reporting that Rose Rock was seated at a table in a Crackle Barrel restaurant along the North Carolina Coast, but was forgotten about and “ignored” for a half an hour.

Rock says she called over the manager, but all he did was offer her a free meal.

“He never called over the waitresses and asked, `Why did these people sit here for an hour without service? The only thing he said was we could have a free meal and neither of us wanted to eat,” she said.

Cracker Barrel representatives have said they are taking the complaint “very seriously.”

“It has always been a violation of our policies and procedures and it is neither condoned nor allowed. We do not allow the type of behaviour you are describing,” Julie Davis, a spokesperson for the company, said.
