Pam Grier

PAM GRIER LIKES BEING IN CHARGE

It’s always fun to see Pam Grier pop up unexpectedly, and this time she has a new series. Pam, of course, made a name for herself in those blaxploitation movies like Coffy and Foxy Brown back in the 70s. In the 80’s she played assorted character roles, but has been working steadily in TV and film through the decades. She’s dated a lot of high profile guys like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Freddie Prinze, Richard Pryor, Don Cornelius, and Wilt Chamberlain, but she has never married and has no children. A VERY independent woman! Right now she’s promoting her new series for ABC, Bless This Mess. It’s about a city couple (Lake Bell and Dax Shepherd) who move to Nebraska for a peaceful life and don’t find it. Pam was cleverly cast as the local sheriff.

QUENTIN TARANTINO’S LOVE AFFAIR WITH MAYHEM PAID OFF

AG_095348_019quent

Quentin Tarantino, 52, got his star on The Walk of Fame just in time to promote The Hateful Eight. (He didn’t dress for the event, did he!) In spite of the fact that Quentin thinks that “Violence is one of the most fun things to watch,” his movies always have some clever dialog and humorous moments. Spike Lee complains that Quentin is “infatuated with the n-word.” Indeed, his latest movie features the forbidden word around 65 times. In spite of his ego and penchant for violence, Quentin’s movies are often highly entertaining. Above, Jackie Brown star Pam Grier came to the Star ceremony to congratulate Quentin.
