HOPE FOR THE FUTURE
Children, like branches on a tree,
Blowing in the w ind of life
Young, vulnerable, searching.
Stronger than we can imagine.
But we choose to ignore,
The brave minds and trusting hearts,
The innocence.

Sheryl Lee Ralph and Denzel W ashington kicked off their Fourth Annual LA
Children’s Toy Drive with a bash at the Los Angeles Stock Exchange Disco. Among those
in attendance were Bryon Allen, The Boys. B lair Underwood, Beverly Todd, Roger Mosley,
and 21 Jump Street's Reginald T. Dorsey. Over the last four years, Denzel and Sheryl Lee
have delivered toys to over 2,000 inner city k id s. . . Meanwhile, Sheryl Lee Ralph's upcom­
ing TV series - “ New Attitudes” (also starring Morris Day) is set to be a midseason
replacem ent... In other television news, Tim & Daphne Reid’s “ Snoops” becam e the first
casualty of the season as CBS has cancelled the show, which placed third in its Friday night
tim eslo t. .. And the ball is In acto r H ow ard Rollins co u rt as to whether or not he will stay
on as part of NBC’s “ In The Heat Of The Night” lineup. Rollins, who was hospitalized over
a month ago from chest pains has not yet returned to the set. According to the Hollywood
rumor mill, Rollins is still battling drug problems. The tabloids talk of AIDS. However,
according to actorCaroll O ’Connor, Rollins has decided to take some time off due to illness,
and is expected to return to the cast in the near future.
Lou Gossett Gets Back In High G ear: If Lou Gossett looks a little heavier, it’s not
because he's been sitting around since the cancellation of his series — “ Gideon Oliver.”
Quite the contrary, he gained forty pounds for work as an over-the-hill, overweight,
alcoholic cop in “ The Punishers,” with Dolph Lundgren. “ Gaining it was a pleasure, but
losing it has taken longer than I expected,” said the actor, who has yet to lose ten pounds.
Work starting this month on an HBOspecial called “ El Diablo’' justm ight help. Meanwhile,
h e’s trying to raise funds for two of his own projects; one of which, “ Stomping At The
Savoy,” teams him with Gregory Hines in the life story of Cab Calloway. While Gossett
admits the cancellation of his series - was disappointing, it was also a relief. He saw his name
and face on the screen, yet Gossett says “ I didn’t have too much say in the decisions they
made, so I felt like an employee. The stories should have been a little more relevant. I thought
it was a little bit to much lip service and nothing real, so I ’m kind of glad it was over. I like
doing what I'm doing now. My destiny is more within my reach.”
A round Town: Sheryl Lee Ralph was busy this holiday season with not just her
celebrity toy drive, but her annual New Year’s Eve bash. However, this year some guests
complained of her lack of hospitality. In fact, few of the guests were actually allowed into
the house. W hat’s more, the party, which was held in a tent in the back of the house, featured
portable toilets, a feature that irked if not just discomforted some in the star-studded crowd
. . . Meanwhile, the atmosphere remained relatively calm as former Beverly Hills NAACP
president Willis Edwards bumped into Arsenio Hall at a popular LA soul food eatery.
Edwards and Hall who are locked in a defamation of character lawsuit, did not speak, but
according to those present you could feel the tension. Incidentally, Hall (who some claim
is only seen dating white women) was dining with a sister. Quipped one industry observer,
“ maybe h e’s come back to his roots.” . . . Matt Robinson, baby brother o f Holly Robinson,
showcased his musical talents last month in Los Angeles. Robinson, alias “ Daddy
Matthews ’ ’ (his stage name) is the lead of Funky Reggae Crew, a compilation of hip hop and
reggae artists signed to Warner Brothers Records. The music producer/rapper a cut on the
album called “ Free M andela.” Among those on hand were fellow rappers Ice-T and Big
Daddy Kane, actors Emilio Estevez, Leon, Nicholas Cage, and of course, big sis. Holly
Robbins with her long-time steady, “ Head O f The Class” Brian Robbins.
CITY NIGH 1 CLUB, 1313 NW 13th (224-2489). Main Section: Th-Su-Rccordcd
music with DJ Alex Whittaker; Hollyrock Lounge: Th-Sa-Rccordcd music with DJ
Jonathan Ziegler and Bill Hicks.
THE DIABOLICAL
by Lisa Collins
Needing, wanting, grasping,
Eager to know,
Many roads appear with glitter to
unfold,
Trusting hearts, seeking.
Children - wanting to lead,
Willing to be led.
Growing, emotions strong.
Beautiful, carefree
The future.

Say You Saw It In The
Rehashing Old Headlines To Push New Tunes: Remember the controversy
Public Enemy member “ Professor G riff’ stirred when he said “ Jews were
responsible for the majority of evil in the world?” In fact, it was those anti-semitic
statements that got him expelled from the group and prompted question as to
whether or not the group would disband while attracting widespread attention and
boasting the nation’s awareness of Public Enemy, which featured prominently in
Motown’s highly successful “ Do The Right Thing” soundtrack. (Even if the group
did not disband and he was reinstated). Well, apparently “ Griff,” as he is called,
hopes to recap the excitement in his upcoming solo debut LP, which will feature the
interview in which he made the declaration. The album, titled “ Pawn In The
Game,” is scheduled for release sometime next month. Meanwhile, Griff is also
taking part in Public Enemy’s upcoming album “ Fear Of A Black Planet,” which
will be released at just about the same time . . .
In Short: Spike Lee's “ Do The Right Thing” was named best picture at the
prestigious LA Film Critics Awards . . . Actor Howard Rollins put some rumors to
rest (at least for the time being) with his return to the set of “ In The Heat Of The
Night. ’' Rollins, who missed four episodes, was rumored to be suffering with AIDS.
Next Week: More on the most sought-after role of Josephine Baker in an
upcoming TV biopic.
