Mr. Redcarpet's Dirt

Mr. Redcarpet and an Original King of Comedy

Mr. Redcarpet will be very busy with the Emmys coming in just a couple of weeks. Here's what I've been up to lately...

About a month ago, I was at Cedric the Entertainer’s house. He had a

birthday party for his daughter’s grandmother. The party was at a brand new

home and he obviously just moved in because there were open boxes spread about

the house, bare walls, and not much furniture. The house sat on a nice size

piece of property. There was a pool and a garden in the back and a Rolls Royce

in the front! It was located in a gated community in the very far northwest end

of Chatsworth. Chatsworth is in the very far northwest end of Los Angeles in

the very HOT San Fernando Valley.

This was just like a party you'd throw for your family and friends. Ok,

maybe you wouldn't have a casino, or a caterer, or an AIR CONDITIONED tent in

the backyard to accommodate 150 guests. But except for that…! For music,

Cedric hooked up his Ipod to some speakers. Now, don't tell me you'd hire a DJ

before you would try this! There was one other celebrity at the party and that

was former NBA star John Salley. He and I left at the same time. Since the NBA

playoffs were going on at the time, I asked him if he were sneaking out to watch

the game. He said, “No. I've seen enough games.” I laughed and I certainly

understood what he was saying. Would you want to spend your retirement watching

people perform your old job?

I promise... the George Clooney story very SOON. Also, look for EMMY reports coming in the next couple of weeks.

Mr. Redcarpet
