Regina Hall Says Reuniting With the Wayans & Anna Faris Made ‘Scary Movie 6’ an Easy Yes

@the.jasmine.brand: Regina Hall says stepping back into the role of Brenda Meeks for “Scary Movie 6” felt natural once she realized the franchise’s original team was coming back together. The actress explained that reading the script confirmed the film was headed in the right direction.

“I read the script — and it was really funny. I knew what they were intending to do,” Hall said, noting that movies often evolve as they’re being made. “I always think a work of art is in flux until it’s done and in someone’s hands — you just never know.”

For Hall, the biggest excitement came from the reunion. “But the original cast coming back was exciting. Having the Wayans involved again, and Anna Faris too — Brenda can’t live without Cindy,” she shared, referencing Faris’ longtime role as Cindy Campbell. Hall joked that despite the time that’s passed, Brenda still isn’t a better friend: “And she’s no better a friend to Cindy this time than she was before, even though they’re still best friends.”

Hall added that the timing and nostalgia surrounding the comeback made the decision feel right. “It was a good time to do something so broad and fun,” she explained. After reading the new script, she immediately thought, “This is funny.” She also believes audiences are ready for the movie’s tone: “I think something is refreshing about doing something a little bit irreverent right now.”

Spinderella Becomes First Female DJ Inducted In Rock Hall Of Fame

Hip-Hop icon DJ Spinderella cemented her place in music history, becoming the first female DJ ever inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

The ceremony, held on Saturday night (Nov. 8) at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, celebrated her groundbreaking career and enduring influence as one-third of the trailblazing group Salt-N-Pepa.

Born Deidra Roper, Spinderella rose to fame in the late 1980s and early ’90s alongside Cheryl “Salt” James and Sandra “Pepa” Denton. Together, the trio revolutionized Hip-Hop with a string of chart-topping anthems, including “Shake Your Thang,” “Let’s Talk About Sex,” “Shoop,” and “What a Man.”

Their fearless blend of feminism, fun, and unapologetic attitude helped redefine the possibilities for women in rap—and in music at large. Taking the stage during the group’s induction, Spinderella reflected on her four-decade journey behind the decks.

“When I started it was a rare thing to see a woman behind turntables. It was literally the boys club. So, I just I had to carve my own lane. I had to show up. It was dedication. It was my craft. And I never missed a beat in 40 years, y’all.

“So, tonight, being the first female DJ inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, it’s beyond amazing, y’all. So surreal. I carry every female DJ who ever dared to dream. Every woman who touched the turntable and said, ‘I can do that, too.’ This is for you. This is ours.”

Her induction also arrives after years of tension within the group. In 2019, Spinderella filed a lawsuit against Salt and Pepa, alleging unpaid royalties and breach of contract following her dismissal from their reunion tour.

The case was eventually settled that year, after the two parties reached a confidential settlement, and have since mended their differences.

Now, with her Hall of Fame honor, Spinderella’s legacy has come full circle. Once the young woman breaking barriers in a male-dominated industry, she now stands as a symbol of persistence, artistry, and empowerment for generations of DJs to come.

Meg edited Jack White’s speech ahead of The White Stripes’ Rock Hall induction

Meg White helped edit her ex-husband Jack’s speech ahead of The White Stripes‘ induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame last weekend.

Last weekend (November 8) saw the annual Rock Hall ceremony take place at Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater, with inductees including OutKast, Soundgarden, Cyndi Lauper, Chubby Checker, Bad Company, Joe Cocker and Jack and Meg White.

Meg wasn’t present at the ceremony, as she has stuck to keeping out of the spotlight since The White Stripes broke up in 2011. Instead, Jack accepted the honour on behalf of her, and revealed during his speech that he had spoken to Meg “the other day” ahead of the ceremony, when she helped him edit his speech.

While on the podium, Jack shared: “I spoke with Meg White the other day, and she said that she’s very sorry she couldn’t make it here tonight, but she wanted me to tell you that she’s very grateful. And to all of the folks who supported her in all the years, it really means a lot to her. She also helped me write all this… I sent these things to her. She checked it for me for a lot of punctuation and corrections. She’s pretty good at that.”

Later on in his speech, he thanked her for their time together – both as a band and as romantic partners – and rounded off his speech by reading out a story about the band that he had wanted to send to Meg, who was hearing it for the first time along with the audience.

“I was gonna send this to Meg, but I didn’t get around to it, so I thought I’d read it to you all tonight,” White began. “One time, a girl climbed a tree, and in that tree was a boy — her brother, she thought. And the tree looked so glorious and beautiful, but it was just an oak tree.

“And these two so loved the world that they brought forth a parade float – one they built in their garage behind the oak tree with their own bare hands. And the boy looked at this giant peppermint on wheels and felt pride – pride that it was produced in the Motor City, just like in the big factories – but it was just in their garage. He looked at the girl — his sister, he thought – and, like the Little Rascals, they said, ‘Let’s put on a show.’

“And they paraded this float through the Cass Corridor,” the White Stripes frontman continued, “standing atop the peppermint pulled by white horses – or maybe it was a red Econoline van. Many of the blocks they travelled were empty, but some had people. And some of those people cheered, some laughed, and some even threw stones. And with their bare hands, the two started to clap and sing and make up songs.

“And some people kept watching and swaying and moving. And then one person even smiled. The boy and the girl looked at each other, and they also smiled, and they felt — they both felt – the sin of pride. But they kept on smiling. Smiling from a new freedom, knowing that they had shared and made another person feel something.

“And they thought the person smiling at them was a stranger, someone they didn’t even know. But it wasn’t just a stranger. It was God.”

Olivia Rodrigo, Feist, and Twenty One Pilots also performed at the ceremony to honour The White Stripes. Rodrigo and Feist took on an acoustic duet of ‘We’re Going To Be Friends’ from 2001’s ‘White Blood Cells’, which was the song the White Stripes played in their final performance on Late Night With Conan O’Brien back in 2009.

Twenty One Pilots then covered ‘Seven Nation Army’, the track Rodrigo dubbed the “most iconic song of all time” in a video that preceded White’s speech. Both wearing fringed face masks, Pilots bassist and singer Tyler Joseph and drummer Josh Dun switched to keys mid-song, earning a standing ovation from Flea.

Hip-Hop royalty took center stage as Outkast and Salt-N-Pepa were officially inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame — a celebration of legacy, innovation, and cultural impact that spanned generations.

The groundbreaking duo Salt-N-Pepa, inducted by Missy Elliott, were honored for shattering barriers for women in hip-hop and bringing empowerment to the forefront of popular music.

Meanwhile, Outkast’s induction stood as a tribute to Southern creativity and fearless originality, with Childish Gambino, Big Boi, and J.I.D. leading the charge.

The ceremony was electric, featuring tributes across eras: JID and Big Boi set things off, followed by Doja Cat’s performance of the duo’s 2000 single “Ms. Jackson.”

Tyler, the Creator delivered “B.O.B,” Janelle Monáe took on “Hey Ya,” Sleepy Brown and Big Boi reunited for “The Way You Move,” and Killer Mike closed with “The Whole World.”

It was a night that underscored Hip-Hop’s evolution — and its rightful place in rock history. VIBE shares 10 memorable moments from the occasion that gave insight into the makings of two of the culture’s most legendary acts.

Rock Hall Welcomes Soundgarden, White Stripes, Outkast

Rock Hall Welcomes Soundgarden, White Stripes, Outkast

Soundgarden, the White Stripes, Outkast, Cyndi Lauper, Bad Company, Joe Cocker and Chubby Checker were enshrined in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame last night (Nov. 8) during a Los Angeles ceremony flecked with superstar contributions from Olivia Rodrigo, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Chappell Roan and Missy Elliott.

“When the Seattle music scene exploded, it resurrected rock and roll for me,” actor Jim Carrey professed while inducting Soundgarden’s surviving members Matt Cameron, Kim Thayil, Ben Shepherd and Hiro Yamamoto. “When I heard Soundgarden for the first time, I wasn’t just excited — I wanted to put a flannel shirt on and run into the streets screaming, my mother smoked during pregnancy!”

The Pretty Reckless’ Taylor Momsen stepped in for late frontman Chris Cornell on “Rusty Cage,” with an assist from Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready, while fellow Seattle veteran Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains joined when Brandi Carlile fronted the band for “Black Hole Sun.”

“I am just really, really happy that he got to make music with his friends,” Cornell’s daughter Lily said after Carrey’s speech. “At the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about. I know how much purpose that gave him, and how much it’s meant to people who have heard that music. That’s what I’ll be holding in my heart tonight.”

His younger daughter Toni, 21, also sang “Fell on Black Days” with guitar accompaniment from Heart’s Nancy Wilson. “I just wish he were here to see this tremendous honor for himself,” she said. “I know how proud he would have been, but he’s the only reason why I do music, so being here and being able to share my voice because of him is amazing.”

Jack White represented the White Stripes amid the absence of reclusive drummer Meg White during their induction, the speech for which was given by fellow Detroit rocker Iggy Pop. “I hear echoes of the Who, Small Faces, the Beatles, hard rock and country blues in Jack’s playing,” Pop offered. “He could do it all. And the writing he is capable of was something that was not typical of the great Detroit bands of the ’60s and ’70s. This was more melodic, more hooky. After all, it was a new century and the White Stripes’ music was coming from a foundational love instead of revolution, and with time to turn a page.”

In his acceptance speech, White acknowledged he’d spoken with Meg “the other day” and that “she’s very sorry she couldn’t make it tonight, but she’s very grateful for the folks who have supported her throughout all the years. To young artists, I want to say, get your hands dirty and drop the screens and get out in your garage or your little room and get obsessed. Get obsessed with something. Get passionate. We all want to share in what you might create.” The duo’s music was repped by guest performers Rodrigo and Feist on “We’re Going To Be Friends” and Twenty One Pilots on the inescapable “Seven Nation Army.”

Both members of pioneering rap duo Outkast were in the room for their induction last night, but they also chose not to stage together for what would have been their first performance since a 2014 reunion tour. Instead, Andre 3000 watched from the audience as Big Boi led a guest-filled run through “ATLiens” with J.I.D., “Ms. Jackson” with Doja Cat (who forgot the words at one point), a sizzling “B.O.B.” with Tyler, the Creator, a shaky “Hey Ya!” with Janelle Monae, “The Way You Move” with Sleepy Brown and “The Whole World” with Killer Mike.

To begin the show, Wonder, the Roots’ Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, Flea, Beck, Maxwell and Jennifer Hudson teamed for a Sly Stone tribute of “Dance to the Music,” “Everyday People,” Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)” and “Higher.” Another fallen legend from 2025, Brian Wilson, got his own salute by John, Tom Petty keyboardist Benmont Tench, drummer Kenny Aronoff and bassist Don Was on the Beach Boys’ “God Only Knows.”

Lauper focused her induction speech on the influence “of the women in the industry who came before me. My shoulders are broad enough to have the women that come after me stand on mine, and the little kid in me still believes that rock’n’roll can save the world.” The artist was inducted by Roan, who dusted off a Lauper-inspired outfit for the occasion and even accidentally said the “F word” during her remarks (“I messed up so bad by refusing to get contacts,” she joked).

“Cyndi embodies every quality of an artist that I admire,” Roan said. “She’s a born performer and a revolutionary songwriter. A forever fashion icon and a fierce advocate and ally. From the very beginning, she owned every ounce of who she was.” Lauper then performed with a pickup band including Go-Go’s drummer Gina Schock and ex-Smashing Pumpkins bassist Ginger Pooley on “True Colors,” “Time After Time” with rising U.K. singer RAYE and “Girls Just Want To Have Fun” with the latter, Avril Lavigne and Salt-N-Pepa.

Bad Company singer Paul Rodgers was too ill to attend the induction, leading to drummer Simon Kirke carrying performances of “Feel Like Makin’ Love” and “Can’t Get Enough” with assistance from the Black Crowes’ Chris Robinson, Bryan Adams, Aerosmith’s Joe Perry and Nancy Wilson. Cocker, who died in 2014, was feted by Bryan Adams (“It’s one thing to cover a song — it’s another to make it your own,” he said of his famed cover of the Beatles’ “With a Little Help From My Friends”), and Elliott helped welcome Salt-N-Pepa as the first female rap group in the Hall.

Warren Zevon, Lenny Waronker, Carol Kaye, Thom Bell and Nicky Hopkins were also inducted this year via special categories.

Cyndi Lauper Inducted by Chappell Roan, Performs Hits at Rock Hall 2025 Ceremony: Watch

Last night, at the annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Cleveland, Ohio, Cyndi Lauper was inducted by Chappell Roan. Afterwards, the ’80s pop star performed a medley of career-spanning hits with accompaniment from Avril Lavigne, Raye, and others to celebrate the occasion. Watch a replay of those moments below.

While inducting Lauper, Roan shared that she covered “True Colors” during a singing competition as a child, and has held Lauper’s music close ever since then. “It’s that courage that not only creates incredible art that gives everyone who experiences it the permission to be themselves — it opens their hearts, it changes their mind, and that is its power,” she said of Lauper. “Tonight, we honor a woman who redefined what a pop star could look like, sound like, and be.”

Lauper then took the stage to perform a collection of her songs, beginning with “True Colors” as a solo effort. Afterwards, she sang her massive 1984 hit “Time After Time” with accompaniment by British singer Raye, before welcoming Lavigne over for “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.” During the end of the latter track, Lauper encouraged audience members to sing along and brought Salt-n-Pepa onstage to join in.

Afterwards, Lauper gave a speech to recognize her induction to the Rock Hall and thank her supporters. “I just want to say that I stand on the shoulders of the women who came before me, and my shoulders are broad enough to have the women who came after me stand on mine,” she said. “The little kid in me still believes that rock ‘n’ roll can save the world. I just want to say now of all time, let’s come together again and do good in the world because it needs us.”

This year’s other Rock Hall inductees are the White Stripes, OutKast, Soundgarden, Warren Zevon, Bad Company, Chubby Checker, and Joe Cocker.

Taylor Momsen, Jim Carrey’s Grinch Reunion at Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2025

It Was No Picnic for Me Either, Pal

At the time, Hiro said all was well that ended well.

“About two months after the filming was completed, Jim and I talked again,” he told the Times. “He said he admired me, and told me I did a great job and said thanks. I thanked him too, because he went through that whole thing. I think How the Grinch Stole Christmas was the hardest film I’ve ever worked on. It is a good memory, but if we had to do that again…we won’t do it!”

As it turned out, Hiro—who’s won two Oscars since, for 2017’s Darkest Hour and 2019’s Bombshell—started therapy after his experience on HTGSC.

It got bad enough, Hiro told Vulture in 2018, that a producer suggested he leave to show Carrey how essential he was to the production. (The film’s makeup department was huge, but among the credits Hiro is the only one dedicated to the Grinch.)

He didn’t answer when Carrey called after a week, Hiro said, but Howard assured him the actor had sworn to change his ways.

While his friends encouraged him to ask for a big raise, the Kyoto-born artist continued, he decided he’d ask the studio for help getting a green card instead. 

It worked, and he’s since become an American citizen. (And therapy helped him realize that he was “really an introvert.”)

Jim Carrey Inducts Soundgarden Into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

written by jummy84

Soundgarden were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on Saturday at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, with Jim Carrey doing the honors.

The actor-comedian talked about his history with Soundgarden, saying, “I met the band in 1996 when I was hosting Saturday Night Live for the very first time, and I insisted on Soundgarden as the musical guest. By then, the lineup was Chris [Cornell], Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron on drums, and Ben Shepherd on base. They launched into the dark, epic beauty of ‘Pretty Noose.’”

He continued, “I stood right in front of them, letting the waves of electricity wash over me, like an audio baptism. They pushed me under and when I came up I was free. After the show, they handed me what is to this day, one of my most prized possessions. The fender telecaster Chris played on the show, signed by the whole band.”

After a video tribute, Carrey was joined by the late Chris Cornell’s eldest daughter, Lily, who also gave a speech, being sure to mention her mother and Chris’ ex-wife, Susan Silver, who managed Soundgarden.

After a performance of “Rusty Cage” (with Taylor Momsen) and “Black Hole Sun” (with Brandi Carlile), the members of Soundgarden walked over to the podium to give their speeches, beginning with founding bassist Hiro Yamamoto, who reunited with the band for the ceremony.

Yamamoto mentioned his parents, who were among the Japanese-Americans held in internment camps in the US during World War II. “That affected my life greatly,” he said. “And it really echoes strongly today. Let’s not add another story like this to our history.”

Cameron was next, running off a long list of names he wanted to thank on behalf of the band. Thayil followed, saying, “If one of us ever hesitated in sharing an idea, Chris would be the first to say, ‘Let’s just try it out and see.’ I miss him. I love him, and I love all my [Soundgarden] brothers.” Shepherd took the mic last, only uttering a few words.

After their speeches, Chris’ younger daughter, Toni Cornell, performed “Fell on Black Days” with Nancy Wilson.

The 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class also includes OutKast, Bad Company, The White Stripes, Cyndi Lauper, Chubby Checker, and Joe Cocker in the performer category.

The induction ceremony aired live on Disney+ on Saturday, November 8th, and will be available to stream on-demand following the ceremony. Find our full coverage here.
