Stars in Rewind: Dwayne Wayne Chills with Dies Drear
Filed under: Trailers and Clips », Stars in Rewind »
Have you watched the trailer for Made of Honor? Did you catch this casting bite? Yes, A Different World's Dwayne Wayne, also known as Kadeem Hardison, plays one of Patrick Dempsey's friends in the upcoming romcom. He's been showing up in a lot of the film's clips that have been circling the net, and every time I see them, I'm catapulted back in time.
But Kadeem's career was more than just the bespeckled Wayne. He had a part in I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, and also in one of my old-school favorites from childhood -- the television movie of The House of Dies Drear. He played Mac, part of the jerky Darrow clan, but also a young boy trying to befriend Thomas Small, who has just moved into the haunted, Underground Railroad house of Dies Drear.
Are there any other Drear fans out there? If not, head after the jump for a taste of A Different World, where Dwayne dances with his jersey tucked into his pants. Man, he was stylin'.
Stars in Rewind: Jada Pinkett Smith Makes Out with Tupac Shakur
Filed under: Trailers and Clips », Stars in Rewind »
Will Smith isn't the only one who got his start on famous '90s sitcoms. While he was hanging out in Bel Air, his future wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, was in A Different World. After Lisa Bonet hit the road and the show stewed for a bit, Jada signed on to play Lena James. She was lucky enough to crush on Dwayne Wayne for a bit, and spent her sophomore year living with Gina and Charmaine, who made her way to Hillman after hanging with Pam on The Cosby Show. Man, this brings back memories!
In the clip above, Lena gets grabbed and kissed by one of her old flings, who just happens to be Tupac Shakur. All tough in his Christmas elf get-up (which gets mentioned in the clip), he gives Lena's boyfriend a hard time, teasing him for his "Richie Cunningham" looks. She, meanwhile, makes me grateful that we've come to a time where fashion is at least a little less spastic. Jada's wearing a cone-headed sort of hairdo, white tank top, and black suspenders. Okay, the outfit isn't too bad, but that hair is just terrible.
And to think this tough-looking gal and a wacky Fresh Prince would become Hollywood's supercouple!
