Martha Stewart Holds Cocktail Party with Andy Garcia and Ludacris (VIDEO)

by Donald Deane, posted Mar 11th 2010 4:00PM

Martha Stewart, rapper Ludacris and actor Andy Garcia sat down today for small talk and cognac on 'The Martha Stewart Show' (weekdays, syndicated). If this sounds like an odd group for a cocktail party, well, that's because it is.

Each of the celebs shared a little-known secret about themselves over a snifter of cognac. Ludacris said that he works so hard he actually raps in his sleep, Andy Garcia revealed he has a collection of some 30 conga drums and Martha Stewart admitted she's an insomniac who stays awake all night long watching movies.

Kelly Ripa Dances for Ludacris on 'Live With Regis and Kelly' (VIDEO)

by Donald Deane, posted Mar 10th 2010 12:30PM

It's good to know that Kelly Ripa can always find work as a dancer in rap videos if her career as a talk show co-host doesn't work out. Ripa joins Ludacris' backup dancers while the rapper performs a song off his new album 'Battle of the Sexes' on 'Live With Regis and Kelly' (weekdays, syndicated).

Ripa bumps and grinds with the dancers and does a surprisingly good job of matching their moves. Go Kelly!

Leno Weekly: Rod Stewart, Rainn Wilson, Martha Stewart & more!

by Jason Hughes, posted Oct 23rd 2009 11:14PM

Rachel GriffithsEvery show has an off-week. Unfortunately, for Jay Leno when he has an off-week, it takes up five hours worth of our time. Almost every guest was less than entertaining, and even most of the comedy bits missed this week. Luckily, there were some redeeming moments throughout, most of which I've included right here for you. See, I just saved you five hours of time.

With Rachel Griffiths appearing this week, it appears that ABC's ban on their actors appearing on Leno's show may have finally been lifted. Unfortunately, she couldn't bring along a clip of Brothers & Sisters, so I guess they're still feeling a little sour. Or NBC doesn't want to promote a competing network's show too much.

Saturday Night Live: Tim McGraw/Ludacris and T-Pain - VIDEOS

by Annie Wu, posted Nov 23rd 2008 12:20PM

T-Pain, Tim McGraw, Ludacris
(S34E09) I had my doubts about Tim McGraw, since musicians hosting kind of freak me out and country music is inherently scary to me. Thankfully, the redneck humor was pretty limited, Tim McGraw only sang once, and his over-the-top enthusiasm was marvelous. A lot of the sketches felt underdeveloped, but McGraw jumped head first into every character and sketch, which made even the worst jokes a little more bearable. Check out some video highlights after the jump, plus a web exclusive sketch!

So You Think You Can Dance: Week 3 Results

by Brett Love, posted Jun 29th 2007 5:00AM

neil haskell - so you think you can dance(S03E11) After a crazy performance show it was only natural to expect that anything could happen on elimination night. Things started out normally enough with a group performance to "The Lion's Hunt" from the Lion King soundtrack, choreographed by Tyce Diorio.

It was not my favorite of the group performances, but it was fun. The thing I found interesting was that, like last week, this one also ended with the focus on Sabra. I'm taking that as a subliminal message for people to vote for her. She's quickly becoming my favorite in the competition.

Law & Order SVU: Screwed (season finale)

by Anna Johns, posted May 23rd 2007 12:31PM

svu; special victims unit(S08E22) Was it me, or was there just too much happening in this episode? "Screwed" was a culmination of not just this entire season, but of the entire series. And we're left, once again, to wonder whether the SVU squad is going to be disseminated.

The episode starred Ludacris, reprising his role as Det. Tutuola's stepson, Darius, from a March 2006 episode. But, despite the stellar acting job from Ludacris, it wasn't about him at all. In fact, his alleged crime wasn't even the center of the story (I stopped trying to remember the Ludacris episode when I realized that it didn't matter). Instead, Ludacris was the tool the writers used to pick apart all the mistakes the SVU detectives have made over the years and leave us hanging about their fate. The detectives were the ones on trial.

Now Paris has dropped out of the Billboard Awards

by Anna Johns, posted Dec 3rd 2006 9:46AM

paris hiltonParis Hilton has followed Britney Spears' lead by backing out of her hosting gig for Fox's Billboard Music Awards. Unlike Brit Brit, who didn't give a reason, Paris apparently quit the show because she didn't like the jokes that were written for her. She says that she didn't appreciate making jokes about people who are her friends. She couldn't come to an agreement with the producers about her scripts, so she quit.

This behavior pretty much goes along the lines of what Tina Fey told Howard Stern recently. She said that Paris takes herself way too seriously (oh, and she is stupid and sheds fake hair).

The hostless Billboard Music Awards air Monday on Fox at 8 pm. Musical guests include Janet Jackson, The Killers, Gwen Stefani, Fergie, Mary J. Blige, Nickelback, and Ludacris featuring Pharrell and Young Jeezy.

Saturday Night Live: Chris "Ludacris" Bridges

by Annie Wu, posted Nov 19th 2006 2:35PM

Ludacris(S32E06) Some of you weren't so happy that we stopped reviewing Saturday Night Live, so I'm going to give this another go, just so that everyone at least as a place to discuss. And I will try and resist saying "ehh, it was okay, I guess" for every single review, but, let me warn you, it's going to be tough. That said, this particular episode was... well... ehh, it was okay, I guess. Surprisingly, Ludacris did a much better job than many other musician hosts (and some "real actor" guests, actually), but it was nothing spectacular.

Alec Baldwin returning to SNL

by Anna Johns, posted Nov 6th 2006 8:42PM

alec baldwin; adam sandlerAlec Baldwin is probably one of the funniest guests ever to host Saturday Night Live and he's making a return visit this weekend. On top of promoting his (freakin' hilarious!) role on 30 Rock, Baldwin is also in half the movies in the theaters this holiday season, including The Departed, Running with Scissors and The Good Shepherd. He'll make his 13th appearance on the show this Saturday, November 11th, along with musical guest Christina Aguilera.

Baldwin has been in some classic SNL sketches-- "Cantine Boy" and "Schwetty Balls" come to mind-- so hopefully we'll be treated to a new classic. He makes a great guest because he commits to his roles 100% and he's up for anything.

Also this month, Chris 'Ludacris' Bridges will play the dual role of host and musical guest. His episode airs November 18th.

Ludacris and N team up in the Halls of Fame

by Julia Ward, posted Nov 1st 2006 10:17AM

LudacrisRemember Debbie Allen's Fame opener? "You want fame? Well, fame costs, and right here, is where you start paying in sweat."

Now it looks like kids will have to ante up in chicken and beer as the man Bill O'Reilly dubbed a "foul-mouthed thug" Ludacris takes the reigns of Nickelodeon's latest production for its teen network N.

Entitled Halls of Fame, the weekly drama follows the trials and tribulations of two sisters accepted to a Philly-based performing arts academy.

Luda will be acting as the show's co-executive producer and music supervisor. You can also expect to see him popping up in a recurring role. Sounds like a great idea if O'Reilly's culture warriors don't get a hold of it.

The show promises a behind-the-scenes, realistic look at what it takes to come up in the entertainment business. Whether or not that involves Fame's young starlets shaking their "money makers" remains to be seen.

Ice Cube jumps on the Oprah-bashing bandwagon

by Anna Johns, posted May 27th 2006 2:02PM

ice cubeRapper/actor Ice Cube is joining the chorus of performers who have a problem with Oprah. Cube tells FHM magazine that he thinks he wasn't invited on her show when Barbershop II came out because he is a rapper (Oprah did have Cedric the Entertainer and Eve on). He also takes it a step further by saying, "She's had damn rapists, child molesters and lying authors on her show. And if I'm not a rags-to-riches story for her, who is?" Forget East vs. West. It's Rappers vs. Oprah (and I think Oprah will prevail).

Fellow rappers Ludacris and 50 Cent have also voiced their discontent with Oprah's lack of hip-hop artists on her show. Oprah was pretty clear with Ludacris, when he was on a year ago for Crash, that she did not approve of his dirty and derogatory lyrics. However, she did defend herself on an NYC radio station after 50 Cent accused her of banning rappers from her show. She said she even has a little 50 Cent on her iPod, and she loves Mary J. Blige, Kanye West, and Jay-Z.

So. Is this just a ploy by these guys to get some face time on Oprah or what?

Law & Order: SVU - Venom

by Richard Keller, posted Mar 29th 2006 10:18AM

Law & Order: SVUWe'll it's about time! As I mentioned last week, Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Stabler (Christopher Meloni) have been getting a lot of screen time this season, both as a team and in individual episodes that highlighted and enhanced their character backgrounds. There was a small piece earlier this year that dealt with Detective Tutuola (Ice-T) and his son, and little or nothing done on Detective Munch (Richard Belzer).

Now, it looks like Fin Tutuola will be the focus of this week's show as his son Ken and nephew Darius (Hustle & Flow actor Chris "Ludacris" Bridges) are arrested for an alleged homicide. Also in the mix this week is Lisa Gay Hamilton (The Practice) as Fin's ex-wife, Teresa. So, it looks like it's going to be a Tutuolalapalooza show!

And now, let us retire to the television programme.

Ludacris guest stars on SVU tonight

by Anna Johns, posted Mar 28th 2006 10:44AM

ludacris; svuLudacris, the rapper-turned-actor who did a remarkable job in the Oscar-winning movie Crash and in Hustle and Flow, will appear on a new episode of Law & Order: SVU tonight. As Adam mentioned last month, he'll play Det. Tutuola's (Ice-T) nephew, who has a secret that gets exposed when Tutuola's son is accused of homicide.

Said Ludacris, "There was no way I could turn down this amazing opportunity. The character was so rich and the storyline so complex, that I knew it was something I had to do." I'm sold.

SVU airs at 10 pm ET tonight on NBC.
