Homey the Clown will be a movie! Plus Bush being the next Hitler. (All in the same article)

HOMEY DOES PLAY THAT: Damon Wayans is resurrecting Homey the Clown for a big screen adventure. According to Variety, the My Wife and Kids star has signed a deal to write and star in a feature film based on the moody and militant clown, a character he created on the early-'90s Fox skit show In Living Color. Damon's bro Keenen Ivory will direct. There's no word if ex-Fly Girl Jennifer Lopez will open the film with a dance number.

HITLER FLAP: Ed Gernon, a producer on CBS's upcoming Hitler miniseries, has been fired over comments he made in the current issue of TV Guide magazine. In the article, Gernon suggested that fear fueled the public's acceptance of President Bush's preemptive strike in Iraq, and said a similar national mood led to Hitler's rise to power. CBS called the remark "insensitive and outright wrong." In related news, that same issue of TV Guide (on newsstands now) also features a fantastic story about Madonna on page 4. I don't recall who wrote it, but it's a brilliant read.

I really enjoyed In Living Color. I LMAO watching every show. I thought Homey the Clown was one of the best characters on the show. I'll go see the movie (if it gets made...) no matter what the critics say.
