Essay 440


An award-winning MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• Despite lackluster reviews, Tyler Perry’s “Madea’s Family Reunion” sold $30.3 million worth of tickets to grab the Number 1 film spot. Holding steady at Number 3 despite even worse reviews was Steve Martin’s “The Pink Panther.” Seems like the perfect time for Cuba Gooding Jr. to introduce a new flick.

• The NAACP Image Awards honored Jamie Foxx as best male musical artist, Bernie Mac as best comedy series actor, co-star Camille Winbush as best supporting actress, Chris Rock for best television series, Mariah Carey for best album and many other superstars. Who hosted the gala? Cuba Gooding Jr.

Or Cuba Gooding Jr.?
