Tony Rock, as one of Brooklyn’s funniest man is far from just following the footsteps of his brother and is shining his own trail in the world of wit and further than that. , Tony Rock is all set with his Rock the World brand to triumph over the stratosphere one giggle at a time.

Tony Rock’s first ½ hour comedy special is all set to kick off in the new season of Comedy Central this week. Among seven brothers in which three are comedians, Tony has been entertaining us in films, television and on stage for years.  Most notably he is being known as as Dirk Black which he played in the long running UPN comedy “All of Us”. Tony even got the BET Comedy Award nomination for it.

With a politically erroneous disposition, the merriment of his live stand-up comedian shows has audiences laughing out loud while trembling their heads saying “Oh no he didn’t!” at present Tony is touring the nation with his one-man show.

With his great wit and caliber Tony rock now has an identity of his own and despite being Chris Rock’s brother Tony is carving his own niche in the entertainment world pretty well. Our wishes are with Tony.

Casey Johnson, daughter of New York Jets owner Woody Johnson, died Monday in Los Angeles, a spokesman for the family announced, without mentioning the cause of her death.

“The Johnson family is mourning its tragic loss, and asks for privacy during this very difficult time,” a family spokesperson said in a statement.

The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) which responded along with the County Police to what they called an “ambulance death investigation” at 11:51 a.m. (1951 GMT), pronounced Casey dead at her home Monday morning.

“It appears to be a natural death,” an official of the LAPD said, adding that there would be a toxicology report from the coroner’s office where the body is currently lying.

Casey, 30, heiress to the Johnson & Johnson fortune to whom internet celebrity Tila Tequila claimed to be engaged, was the great-granddaughter of the founder of the pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson, manufacturer of health products.

Diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 8, Casey co-wrote a book with her father and mother Sale Johnson in 1994, titled “Managing Your Child’s Diabetes.” She later appeared in shows like ‘The Fabulous Life of…’ and ‘E! True Hollywood Story’.

Besides her parents, she is survived by two sisters and a daughter, Ava-Monroe, whom she adopted from Kazakhstan in 2007.

So…I guess this means no one wanted Derek Lowe?

In a move that shocked me, the Atlanta Braves dealt Javier Vazquez (along with Boone Logan) to his former team for Melky Cabrera and a pair of pitching prospects.

Wow.

Just, wow.

I don’t want to say I’m disappointed in the deal, since the Braves basically acquired something similar Julio Teheran in Arodys Vizcaino (less than 20, power arm), but I was just hoping to see more MLB-impact players (Nick Swisher…ahem… maybe an above average INF prospect for Minor League depth in an area of weakness) than Melky Cabrera and lefty Mike Dunn (24).

Granted, Cabrera (25) is a switch-hitter that fields well and hit .274 this past season, but he only belted 13 homers last season and definitely does not help fill the power void Atlanta has in its outfield.

A Cabrera, McLouth, Heyward/Diaz outfield will be one of the most athletic in the NL, if nothing else.

But, time will tell whether this was a good move or not.

If Cabrera performs well in the National League and Dunn and Vizcaino can make an impact within the next three years, then you have to like this move for the Braves.

However, if Vazquez performs well above his career American League numbers in New York and either of the two prospects completely flop, then you have to applaud Brian Cashman for swindling Frank Wren and his posse.

I’m hoping for the first with all my heart.

Let’s hope that the Braves use this $10.5 million saved from Vazquez (and 500K coming from the Yankees) to fill the void at first by either signing a primo free agent with pop or trading for a high payroll player (not likely).

But, once again, just wow.

And let’s hope Derek Lowe can walk back across the bridge he burned with the sour comments he made a couple of days ago.

She does so, without great fanfare. It’s a transition plan designed to limit big expectations, and to be in deference to Charles Gibson, who retired Friday.

“This is not about a Monday, or a month of Mondays,” said executive producer Jon Banner. “It’s not about one program, or one week of programs, this is a long-term effort of our broadcast mission.”

Sawyer takes over “World News” after 11 years on “Good Morning America,” where she handled a daily dose of hard news and fluff.

The transition has also been smoother than past “World News” changes. In 2005, longtime anchor Peter Jennings died of lung cancer. ABC shifted to a two-anchor format with Elizabeth Vargas and Bob Woodruff. But, that team was rocked when Woodruff was injured when covering Iraq. Gibson then took over the broadcast.

When Sawyer pops on the screen tonight at 6:30, viewers will notice subtle changes. The look of the show will be “freshened up,” according to Banner. There will be other changes, too.

“Clearly, every anchor … brings their own interests and strengths to the business,” Banner said. “There will be some tweaks. She tends to be more conversational, so you’ll probably see more conversations with the correspondents.”

The changes, he said, will be gradual, not huge.

“I think she’ll do an excellent job,” said Quinnipiac University journalism Prof. Richard Hanley. “She’ll fit nicely into the evening slot. Will she attract more viewers? Probably not.”

Hanley said the evening news audience is static, and that younger viewers are not tuning into the 6:30 p.m. newscasts.

“If a national event does occur, [ABC] will have in place an anchor who’s widely known and trusted,” Hanley said. “And that’s meaningful.”

While the overall audience levels are not as high as a decade ago, each of the three is bigger than any of the cable news shows. Likewise, the newscasts are considered the home of nonpartisian, objective coverage.

“Our focus must be and remain on the audience and what matters to the people we serve every day,” ABC News President David Westin said in a memo to the staff. “If we show a steadfast devotion to serving that audience, all of our programs will be successful over the long term – which is our goal.”

As a biography, there is not much known about Simon Monjack. He is 39 years of age. He is a British screenwriter and director. His career started by directing commercials. He also been a part of “Factory Girl”, “The White Hotel” and “Two Days, Nine Lives”. After just four months of dating, the screenwriter married his soulmate, actress Brittany Murphy in May of 2007 at their home in a private ceremony including close family and friends.

With sudden news of Brittany Murphy’s death after a 911 call was placed from her home in L.A. early Sunday morning, Hollywoodlife.com reveals how her husband reacted to the tragedy and what went on inside their private house hours after her passing.

Simon Monjack, Murphy’s husband since 2007, was seen pacing back and forth in front of their home after coming back from the hospital where his wife was pronounced dead at 10:04 AM according to Hollywoodlife.com.

The shaken screenwriter was spotted by a witness at the scene crying and screaming while on the phone that afternoon accompanied by a bodyguard, family, and the county coroner at the house, Hollywoodlife.com reports.

Sharon, Brittany’s mother, who found her unconscious and called the paramedics, remained at the hospital until later in the afternoon, where her daughter’s body still remains.

Hollywoodlife.com also spoke with neighbors at the scene while Brittany was being wheeled out to the ambulance on a stretcher.

Claire Staples, who lives nearby, tells the news that, “It was obvious she was already gone by the time they brought her down from the house.”

Although paramedics, who arrived at the West Hollywood residence at8:30 AM, were attempting to give the actress CPR by, “sticking tubes down her throat,” Staples claims that Brittany already, “looked yellow.”

And while the medical team tried to revive Britta (more…)
