Essay 633


Movies and Manicures in a MultiCultClassics Monologue...

• Walt Disney Studios is considering layoffs, as DVD sales fall and movie production costs rise. Insiders indicate the staff cuts — which could reach up to 10 percent — may happen in July. Talk about a summer blockbuster.

• Foxy Brown is scheduled to go on trial in July for allegedly attacking salon workers for a manicure gone bad. You don’t want to be around while she’s getting her nails done for the big trial.

• Ice Cube became the latest rapper-actor to complain about Oprah. Mr. Cube claims the talk-show goddess has dissed him. “For [Ice Cube’s movie] ‘Barbershop,’ she had Cedric the Entertainer and Eve on, but I wasn’t invited,” he said. “Maybe she’s got a problem with hip-hop.” Or maybe she saw “Are We There Yet?”
