Seriously? OMG! WTF?

A few months ago, Fox announced that they were bringing The Real Full Monty to the States to raise money for a good cause.

And now we know who will be taking it all off to raise awareness for prostate, testicular, and colorectal cancer testing and research.

Anthony Anderson is going to be dancing barefoot and bare everywhere else with Taye Diggs, Chris Jones, Tyler Posey, Bruno Tonioli, and James Van Der Beek.

“Don’t die of embarrassment. Get checked! That’s the message behind The Real Full Monty special,” said Anderson. “I am honored to lead the charge of rallying these fearless men to bare it all, in order to provoke, inspire and in this case, beg you to get screened for cancer. That’s our goal…so what are you waiting for!?”

During the two-hour special, Anderson will lead Diggs, Jones, Posey, Tonioli and Van Der Beek as they train and rehearse for the most revealing performance of their careers, culminating with a big strip-tease dance, choreographed by Emmy Award-winner Mandy Moore, where they will bare all in front of a live audience. Leading up to the final disrobing, the men will push their limits of comfortability, modesty and brotherhood with a series of rehearsals and experiences, both private and public, designed to build confidence and remove them far from their comfort zone and strengthen their bond as a group. Along the way, each of the celebrities will share their personal stories of how cancer has impacted their lives.

The Real Full Monty will air this Fall. I hope it is a huge sucess because I have two actor friends who want to do the show. And they would be perfect for the second season!

Anthony Anderson is in Cape Town, South Africa, filming G20, and he spent the night in the hospital due to something that happened on the set.

“I spent the night in the emergency room. Movie set fight gone wrong. Me against two goons and a chair! Guess who didn’t win! Who needs a stuntman? Me that’s who,” he wrote. “I’m not as young as I used to be! CT scan and X-rays showed nothing fractured or broken in my back just a deep contusion. That chair will never be the same though! Bloodied and bowed but never broken!”

Thankfully, he is fine now. So fine; he was back filming today. And he is prepared to show that chair whose boss. Want to see that poor chair, then click here!

Fox’s Reality casting department really worked its magic. Because tonight at 9p on We Are Family, they got a legend to be a contestant on the singing guessing game.

The singer is such a massive star; I would love to know how they got him.

Although, what makes WAF such a touching show is that the mystery guests said yes in order to help their family members get some television exposure. And it was obvious that the Rock’n’Roll Hall of Famer agreed to do it to help their loved one.

So, I hope it works out for this family and the other families that compete on the show.

If you are unfamiliar with the show, I will give you a quick recap. Three singers compete each week, and the audience has to guess who their family member hiding behind the sphere is. Sounds easy, but it is hard. I get more wrong than right.

But I am not watching to win. I am watching for the reveals because it is so heartwarming to see the celebrities praise their relatives! Sometimes, like tonight, happy tears come to my eyes.

And there are also tears of laughter shed because host Anthony Anderson and his Mama Doris are so hilarious together.

Before Anthony Anderson hosted the Emmys, he was just a Guy at Party on The Wayans Bros. He has come a long way since he was 24 years old making his primetime TV debut back in 1995.

Anthony Anderson is going to host the Emmys this Monday on Fox, and he has a special role for his mom, Doris, with whom he co-hosts We Are Family.

He told Entertainment Tonight, “I’m letting people know there will be no play-off music. My mother will be your play-off music. So, please, be respectful. Get up here. Thank your god. Thank your agents, and everybody just make the stage in a timely fashion.”

“And you can’t say no to somebody’s mama,” Emmys producer Jeannae Rouzan-Clay added.

You can’t. So, if you win on Monday, make your speech short or face Anderson’s mom. And that is a fate you do not want.
