  • Arsenio Hall Sees Show Canceled Despite Renewal

    Arsenio Hall released a statement this week regarding the cancellation of his show, which has officially been dropped after just one season despite CBS renewing it in February. The network cited a lack of audience growth, and Hall himself noted that they knew in the beginning that the road would be long and difficult.

    “When I started this adventure with CTD and Tribune, we all knew it would be a challenge — I’m gratified for the year we’ve had and proud of the show we created. I’d like to thank everyone on my staff for rallying around me and striving to make the best show possible every night,” he said.

    Hall and CBS were trying to build upon the success he’d found in 1989 with his first late-night talk show, which blew up into a huge ratings boom until 1994, when he faced stiff competition from Letterman and Leno. These days, the competition is much bigger, with Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and Seth Meyers all vying for the top position.

    “Arsenio is a tremendous talent and we’d like to thank him for all the hard work and energy he put into the show. We’d also like to thank Tribune and all our station group partners for their support of the show,” CBSTVD said in a statement.

    “The Arsenio Hall” show aired the final episode last week; Hall has not said what he plans to do next.

  • Wiz Khalifa and Miley Cyrus Smoke Together: “She’s Just Blowin’ Like a Train”

    It’s pretty evident that Miley Cyrus’ go-to drug is molly, since she highly references it in her song “We Can’t Stop”:

    “So la da di da di
    We like to party
    Dancing with Molly “

    But, it appears that mary jane is one other drug that Cyrus just can’t stop smoking.

    Sorry. Let me put it in simpler terms-Marijuana or weed to be exact.

    Wiz Khalifa has now confirmed even more that the racy Pop singer likes to hit nearly every five minutes!

    During an interview on The Arsenio Hall Show Monday, he’s asked about his experience collaborating with Cyrus for his new album Black Hollywood.

    That conversation soon veered off course.

    “Insane! But in a good way though,” Khalifa said. “Like, she’s just a ball of energy, you know what I mean? And she smokes a ton.”

    Of course that was strange coming from Khalifa, because surely the rapper smokes quite a “ton” of weed every day.

    Hall asked him to define “a ton” and he responded: “I don’t know. She’s younger so it’s different…she kept being like, ‘Wiz, you don’t have a joint rolled? What’s up?’”

    Hall was quite astonished himself as he mentioned how “small” and “tiny” Cyrus is, and Khalifa couldn’t agree more. 

    “Right. And she’s just blowin’ like a train.”

    According to a Q&A interview with Rolling Stone in October, Cyrus mentioned how Hollywood was a “coke town” and that she preferred getting happily high off of molly and weed.

    “Those are happy drugs—social drugs,” Cyrus said. “They make you want to be with friends. You’re out in the open. You’re not in a bathroom. I really don’t like coke. It’s so gross and so dark.”

    I suggest that Cyrus write a sequel to “We Can’t Stop,” but this time shine some spotlight on her other favorite drug:

    “So la da di da di
    We like to party
    Smoking on some weed”

    …or maybe that’s not such a good idea.

  • Wiz Khalifa Talks Being Weed Pals With Miley Cyrus

    Miley Cyrus loves pot. Rapper Wiz Khalifa loves pot. Together, they really love pot, and they smoked a ton of it when they were in the studio recently.

    That’s what Khalifa said when he visited the Arsenio Hall show this past Monday. He gave a few details about collaborating with Cyrus on his up and coming album Blacc Hollywood, and he said her energy level alone makes her fun to work with.

    “Insane, but in a good way though,” said Khalifa, referring to how great it was to be in the studio with the Wrecking Ball singer.

    And when it comes to their shared passion for the green stuff, or the brown stuff depending on where it originated from, Khalifa says Cyrus smokes way more than he thought she did.

    In fact, she was the one who always asked the rapper if a joint was prepared, which may surprise some people because Khalifa markets himself as the biggest smoker in the music industry next to Snoop.

    “She smokes a ton,” he said. “Every five minutes she kept being like, ‘Hey Wiz, you don’t have a joint rolled? What’s up’? She was just blowing like a train.”

    But Khalifa isn’t the only pot-loving-rapper that Cyrus has worked with. She also did a song with Snoop Dogg, and in a 2013 interview with Rolling Stone she said weed isn’t as dangerous as alcohol, which President Obama recently stated.

    “I did a song with Snoop Dogg called Ashtrays and Heartbreaks, so people can put it together for themselves,” said the lanky singer. “I think alcohol is way more dangers than marijuana. People can be mad at me for saying that, but I don’t care. I’ve seen a lot of people spiral down with alcohol, but I’ve never seen that happen with weed.”

    “As long as it isn’t illegal, there are far more dangerous things. And it’s legal in the state of California, so I’m happy to live in California, a place where you can be whoever you want to be.”

  • Tyrese Talks About Paul Walker and New Book

    Tyrese and the late Paul Walker were more than just fellow actors, sharing a set for the many Fast & Furious films. The two were a tight pair in real life too.

    Since the tragic passing of Walker, Tyrese along with his other friends and family have kept to themselves, taking the much-needed time to mourn the loss of the late 40-year-old actor.

    Monday night, The Arsenio Hall Show welcomed Tyrese as their guest, discussing Walker’s passing and how his recent trip to Dubai saved him

    “It was a lot of shock and trauma for his family and all of us involved,” Tyrese said. “I’ve never been depressed in my life but I was very sad and down and it took a minute for me to shake it.”

    Tyrese continued, “I just turned 35 and I’m on a spiritual level. I’ve got this thing where I send and God sends me e-mails about what to do, where to go, who to communicate and connect with and he sent me an e-mail to go to Dubai.”

    Tyrese vacationed with actor and friend Will Smith. “Dubai was great. I found my smile again in Dubai.”

    So what’s next for the actor? While it seems Tyrese has finally found some hope, the newly 35-year-old has turned to writing to share life lessons with his family, friends and followers in his first book, How to Get Out of Your own Way.

    The book is organized in a series of questions that have helped him, “redefine who he was as a human being, and evolve into a new man.” The book was written to help individual find their true selves.

    “It’s not about talking down to people, it’s about elevating them,” Tyrese says.

  • Feud Between Arsenio Hall & Eddie Murphy?

    On Wednesday night’s episode of the Arsenio Hall Show, guest, co-star, and old friend, Eddie Murphy, appeared as Hall’s guest. Hall and Murphy starred together in the 1988 comedy in which Murphy plays an African king who treks to New York to find his future wife. Hall plays the king’s wing man in the film. This year will mark the the 25th anniversary of Coming to America.

    The pair started off the conversation by “clearing the air,” when Hall told the audience, “We stopped our bitter feud, just for tonight.” Surprised Murphy asked, “What feud?” Arsenio went on to explain that rumors began last March that Murphy declined to appear on Hall’s late night show. Murphy seemed unfazed by the news and told Hall, “..I don’t read that s***.”

    However, fans of the classic movie won’t be very happy – it seems that there definitely won’t be a future sequel. Murphy said last night that after filming Coming to America, he had an encounter one night with an African man claiming to be the real prince. Murphy related that the man threatened to kill him if Murphy didn’t give him ‘his money,’ and that the actor had ‘stolen his life.’ Apparently, there were many controversies and lawsuits over the film, according to Murphy – too many to make a sequel, anyway.

    Arsenio and Eddie discussed other things, too, reminiscing about the time Hall forced sober Murphy to drink alcohol – something he never does – and Murphy ended the night talking to a dog.
