At andPOP we are all about creating efficient interviews that get straight to the point. In that spirit here is our interview with Chris Rock after the Toronto premiere of Good Hair.
Tracy Morgan and Martin Lawrence have joined the cast of Chris Rock’s “Death at a Funeral,” a remake of the 2007 British film of the same name.
The dark comedy, which has Rock pulling triple-duty as producer, co-writer and star, takes place at a funeral ceremony that quickly turns chaotic as romance, jealousy, blackmail and family secrets come into play.
The cast also includes Loretta Devine, Ron Glass, Danny Glover, Regina Hall, James Marsden, Zoe Saldana and Columbus Short. Directing is Neil LaBute, whose credits include “In the Company of Men,” Nurse Betty” and, most recently, “Lakeview Terrance.”
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.’”

Funnyman Chris Rock is the latest celebrity to go through a divorce.
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 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.
