Paul Tarascio Sues Jimmy Fallon



LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Paul Tarascio is suing Jimmy Fallon. Paul Tarascio was Jimmy Fallon’s stage manager on Late Night following that same position for 14 years under Conan O’Brien. When Conan moved to New York, Paul Tarascio stayed in Los Angeles. After he took over under Fallon, Paul Tarascio claims Fallon demoted him to second stage manager because of his gender.

Paul Tarascio’s complaint claims that Jimmy Fallon doesn’t like to take instructions from a male stage manager and wanted only a female in the position giving him orders.

Tarascio’s complaint has be filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the New York Division of Human Rights. He tells local news today that in March he was fired because of  “fabricated performance issues.”

Fallon has yet to issue a statement nor NBC.



Montana Fishburne Not Chippy-D Film Release

Posted: July 30th, 2010 in Chip-D, Chippy-D, Lawrence Fishburne, Montana Fishburne by LALATE

Montana Fishburne tape release date chip-diddy


LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Forget
Chippy-D. Montana Fishburne will appear in the tape film entitled “Montana Fishburne” as herself. Neither Chippy-D nor  Chip-D will be used as Fishburne’s screen credit name in her upcoming direct-to-DVD film release. Montana Fishburne appears on a single credit for the film’s release set for August 18.

The “tape” (being released as a DVD not VH-S) doesn’t mention Lawrence Fishburne’s name, nor do news statements issued by the DVD distributor today. But the hint is there. The cover of the film’s DVD packaging reads “An A-List Daughter Makes her .. Debut. Montana Fishburne”. Moreover, Montana Fisburne appears on the cover wearing a black leather jacket much like Lawrence Fishburne’s look for the Matrix.

Lawrence Fishburne has yet to comment about his daughter’s film debut. But Montana says Friday, “I view making this movie as an important first step in my career,” said Montana in a statement to local news today. “I’ve watched how successful Kim Kardashian became and I think a lot of it was due to the release of her … tape … I’m hoping the same magic will work for me. I’m impatient about getting well-known and having more opportunities and this seemed like a great way to get started on it.”

Montana Fisburne doesn’t express what career she wishes to pursue after the tape, if the tape is a one-time release, or if a path of reality-tv programming much like Kardashian is next on her to-do list.

Who is Montana Fisburne’s costar? Despite reports here earlier that the costar might be B Pumper (aka Brian Pumper or Bling Man) or Montana’s reported boyfriend J-Pipes, there is no images of a male-costar in the film’s packaging released nor indication in news statements issued Friday.

ANV reports that the film is one hour in length and was shot on location.

Montana’s film distributor says today Fishburne shows great promise as an actor. “Montana made up her mind to make this dvd before we met her. She grew up in the entertainment business and was well aware of our company. In looking at the careers of many current leading female personalities, she saw a path to success and hopes to follow it.” “When we first met, we were impressed with not just her beauty, but how self-possessed she is.”

Montana Fishburne Chip-D Chippy-D Film brian pumper


LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Lawrence Fishburne’s daughter Montana Fishburne (aka Chip-D, Chippy D) is confirmed to appear on tape just weeks after Brian Pumper (aka Bling Man), J-Pipes and Fishburne appeared in a YouTube video.

While Brian is not confirmed on tape with Montana, he expresses in the YouTube video his excitement of working with Lawrence Fishburne’s daughter. The YouTube video (which is still online) seems to suggest that Fishburne’s tape co-star could be J-Pipes, a skinny guy, or Brian.

IMDB features the notable quotes allegedly by Brian which read “I like to work out so I can be in shape for the movies. …. The girl doesn’t have to be a supermodel.”

Bling Man is Brian’s reported rapper name. “If I can cross over into rapping. I made the commitment to myself that no matter how much money I’m making on rapping, unless I’m on tour or something, or it’s just completely inconvenient, I’m still going to do [films]. Simply because I have a passion for it and I would like to keep up with my fans.”

Brian says that bodybuilding doesn’t pay the type of money he hoped to make. “I wanted to be a professional bodybuilder but there’s no money in bodybuilding. … I actually wanted to become a bodybuilder before I became a [film] star, now I just work out for fun to stay in shape and for my on personal pride.”

And Brian even says he believes in God. “I communicate with God. Even though some people feel [films] and God don’t go together, and that’s not righteous. But I don’t look at it like that. I’m making an honest living. I’m not out in the streets harming anyone. I’m having fun with what I do and I’m successful at it. I thank God for his blessings. That’s it. It’s real simple. I thank him for me being healthy, alive and strong and finding a career that I enjoy. I’m really grateful for being in the business. Life couldn’t be any better.”

In the YouTube video, Montana says “You’re on camera… the camera loves me, I love the camera. …  I have confidence in what I do.” And for the reason to make a tape, “It wasn’t a goal, but it was a step in a direction.”
