Taking a page from Tyler Perry’s playbook, funnyman Chris Rock has written a new film, Finally Famous, which he also plans to direct and star in. According to The Wrap, Finally Famous focuses on a recovering alcoholic and comedian-turned-film-star who hopes to reinvent himself as a serious actor. Being Mary Jane star that Gabrielle Union has signed on to play Chris’ scheming fiance who hatches a plan to make herself more famous by convincing Chris’ character (Andre) to marry her on national television.
Rent actress Rosario Dawson will star as a former party girl turned New York Magazine journalist who interviews Andre and forms an attraction to him.
Let Me Explain star Kevin Hart will do a cameo as Andre’s Ivy-league educated agent who supports the televised wedding, while "RHOH" comedian J.B. Smoove plays Andre’s ‘“security guard-slash-assistant”. Ha! Rounding out the cast, "The View" co-host Sherri Shepherd was cast as the ex-girlfriend from high school who dreams about what she missed out on. The film will be produced by Scott Rubin and Eli Bush and starts filming this summer.
In other Gabby news…
The Being Mary Jane star stopped by "E! News" last night to promote the July 2 premiere of the BET show and to dish on working with E! News host Terrence J on TLAM 2. Gabrielle joked that she’s been friends with TJ since he first got in the business and that he loves to take his shirt off and show off his pecs! We can tell…
Also, she talked about her relationship with Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade, saying he’s the fashionista between the two of them (and that Rachel Zoe is her stylist!). She also dished on the fun they had after the Miami Heat beat the Spurs and that she’ll be traveling to China with him while he works on his shoe collection. The interview was the first time we’ve heard Gabby speak about Dwyane since those breakup rumors….which we knew were false.
