  • The ‘Fifty Shades of Black’ Red Band Trailer Is Every Shade of Nasty

    “Fifty Shades of Grey” gets f–ked every which way by Marlon Wayans in the new red band trailer for “Fifty Shades of Black.” The “red band” status is probably from all the f-bombs and that n-bomb, plus there’s the nastiness with smelling fingers, getting eaten out, going “balls deep,” spitting into locks, passing around mothers, and flinging sticky underwear.

    As one character puts it at the end, “F–k to the no. You need to find Jesus, that’s what you can do!” It’s less hot than hurl, but many viewers probably feel the same about the real “Fifty Shades.”

    This “outrageous comedy” parody stars Wayans as Mr. Black, but it also features Kali Hawk, Mike Epps, Andrew Bachelor, Affion Crockett, and — this is odd — Jane Seymour, Fred Willard, and Florence Henderson. Yes, Mrs. Brady signed up for a movie where a stripper f–ks a woman pregnant right on stage.

    Watch the trailer:

    “Fifty Shades of Black” opens January 29.

  • Does Anyone Want a ‘White Chicks’ Sequel? Marlon Wayans May Make It Happen

    White ChicksLong-awaited sequels to early 2000s comedies have been springing up left and right lately. So why not “White Chicks,” too?

    That was apparently the thinking behind Marlon Wayans‘s recent Instagram post, where he made a mock-up of a potential poster for “White Chicks 2,” and asked fans if they were interested in a sequel to the 2004 comedy. The comedian said that if the photo got 300,000 likes, he’d consider making the follow-up his next project.

    Show of hands who wants to see the sequel to this? 300,000 likes and I may make this our next movie

    It turns out that “White Chicks” fans are pretty passionate about the film, and soon, the Instagram post amassed over 400,000 likes (and an additional 700,000 — and counting — on Facebook), proving that, apparently, demand is indeed high for another round. But just how likely is it that this film will get made?

    According to HuffPost Entertainment, there have been plenty of starts and stops to a potential sequel over the years, with the closest call coming way back in 2009. And just last year, Wayans said that a dip in international interest in comedies has given studios pause when it comes to greenlighting such fare, especially since the original flick came out more than 10 years ago.

    We’ll have to wait and see if Wayans was serious about actually making “White Chicks 2” a reality (HuffPost reached out to Wayans and his brothers for comment). Stay tuned — and keep your Vanessa Carlton sing-a-long ready — until then.

  • Queen Latifah Rules ‘Lip Sync Battle’ By ‘Cheating’ With LL Cool J

    It’s about time someone pandered to the host of “Lip Sync Battle” with an LL Cool J song — and who better than The Queen? Queen Latifah took on Marlon Wayans in Spike’s May 28 battle. LL said he didn’t know Queen Latifah would be doing his song, “Rock the Bells,” but she did it, and she did it proud. Marlon wasn’t happy about it, but too bad.

    As usual, there were two rounds of battle. In round one, Marlon got “Happy” with Pharrell Williams’ song, and the Queen went for a sexy, subtle version of “My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It)” by En Vogue. In round two, Marlon got emotional with Sam Smith’s “Stay With Me” while Queen Latifah turned it up with “Rock the Bells.” Was that enough to earn her the win? Probably. Marlon Wayans kept saying it was “cheating” but it was playing smart. That’s why she’s The Queen! Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook.

  • ‘Fifty Shades of Black’ Comedy Spoof Is Coming, Check Out Pantless Poster

    Premiere Of Open Road Films' "A Haunted House 2" - Red CarpetYou could argue that “Fifty Shades of Grey” is already a comedy spoof of itself, but now Marlon Wayans is getting in on the act with “Fifty Shades of Black.” Wayans is no stranger to these kinds of parodies — see “Scary Movie,” don’t see “Scary Movie 2” — and “Fifty Shades” has enough juicy material to make a good spoof.

    According to The Hollywood Reporter, Wayans will star and write with Rick Alvarez, with production starting soon and an early 2016 release planned. This project will reunite the “Haunted House” franchise team, so … just know that going in. Wayans said, in a statement, “We’re excited to be back in business with IM Global doing our comedic remix of this movie. Sex and comedy go hand-in-hand and I’m looking forward to having fun with this project. It’s amazing when a film of this caliber comes along begging to be made fun of. I’m really happy to be doing what I love with people I love to do it with. That double entendre was intentional.” Expect a lot more of it!

    Wayans posted this shot on Instagram to promote the movie:

    Check it out! Just announced my next movie FIFTY SHADES OF BLACK coming soon… http://bit.ly/1P4i9J6 what do you think?
