Angelina Jolie tops the list of Hollywood’s highest paid actresses. To see who else makes the list click here.

Cable giant Comcast released it’s list of the 50 Greatest TV Characters, onto their website, comcast.net. But there’s something very strange about this list. Hmmm, maybe it’s the fact that there are only 3 black characters on the entire list out of 50 possible slots. Legendary actor Redd Foxx, MIranda Bailey of “Grey’s Anatomy”, and Bill Cosby are the only 3 African Americans on the list. Maybe Comcast forgot that there were other Black shows on TV. The wild thing is that Bill Cosby lands in at #48. Are you serious? Redd Foxx is #15, and Miranda Bailey is #25. Which other TV characters do you feel should have been included? Well if you had a list who else would you include?

Bern Nadette Stanis is the brick house beauty that portrayed the extremely sexy Thelma, from one of television’s all-time funniest sitcoms, “Good TImes.” Thelma lit up the screen episode after episode with that infectiously warm smile, and witty outgoing personality, with which she often used to trade barbs on screen with older brother “JJ Evans” (Jimmy Walker). BernNadette was one of the first bombshells, to hit the screen parading every black man’s drean, hips, hips, hips, thighs, thighs, thighs, and that thing that made Beyonce an instant sex symbol….the badunkadonk. Mrs. Bern Nadette Stanis chatted exclusively with Mediaoutrage.com about her career, the unforgettable character Thelma, that she portrayed, her new book, and what the future holds. She also had something to say about the greatest actor in the world, yes, Denzel Washington and Beyonce and her mother Tina Knowles. Listen below….

Bern Nadette better known to the masses of TV fans, as Thelma that played on Good Times, recently sat down for a candid interview with Essence and traveled back into time as she recollected her experiences on the iconic show.

Essence.com: Afterwards were you able to bring a lot of yourself to the character?

B.S.: Well, they didn’t know how to develop Thelma at first so they used to just have me in the bathroom all the time. For six months I would come and say, “Hi Mom. Hi Dad.” and then go to the bathroom. So one day I said to Esther Rolle [my on-screen mother Florida Evans], whom I was very close to and called “Mom,” and said, “I would like more to say. I feel like I can act and they’re only giving me these one or two lines.” She said, “You are a pretty good actress, you could do more. Let me handle it.” That Friday we went to rehearsal and of course I had one or two lines and then I’m in the bathroom. At the end of the whole reading she asked them, “Is my daughter retarded?” And I’m like, Please say no (laughs). So they looked at her and told her no. Then she said, “Well you gave my sons JJ and Michael pages and pages of dialogue, but for my daughter you don’t give my daughter anything. I would like her to have something to say.” After that, Thelma was on the run. I thank Esther for that.

Essence.com: Thelma was so fashion forward. Some of the clothing she rocked many would wear today. Were you involved in styling?

B.S.: I’m going to put this out there too. I was a dancer before I joined the show, so I would wear leotards over tights and so everything was fitted. When I got back on the set, they had me in these big pants and jeans. I couldn’t stand it. They were big and ugly and I was like, We have to make this work. Ya’ll want me to wear jeans and I want to wear tights. I couldn’t even focus on my lines because I was so self-conscious about those baggy clothes. So I asked the stylist to take all the pockets out the jeans because I wanted it to lay smooth on my hips and tailor the legs all the way down to the knees, so they would fit like a glove. That’s how Thelma got those clothes and how those tight jeans came about.

Essence.com: Wow! You definitely worked it out. So did you create skinny jeans?

B.S.: Yeah, but nobody understood what I was doing. It just came to me.

Essence.com: You definitely were a trendsetter. Now tell us, what was the reaction on the set when you guys found out that your on-screen father, James Evans, Sr. (John Amos) would die on the show?

B.S.: I was so young. I just knew that maybe John was getting tired of the show. One day, we went to rehearsal and went to read the script. We didn’t see John and no one said anything. As we were reading, it said James died. I think Esther knew, but I did not know. That thing hit me like a ton of bricks. It was the real deal when you saw me up there crying and carrying on.

Essence.com: That definitely sounds intense. Were there any times when Thelma made decisions or dated a guy that you might’ve not liked for it to go in that direction?

B.S.: I had input when it came to dating because I was a virgin until I married and I wanted Thelma to be that type of a person too. So when the “Larry” character, a mechanic, came about I thought he would’ve been good for Thelma. But the outcome would have been another generation of just average living and struggling, so we wanted to take it up a notch. Then they showed me with the African guy and I’m like, “I’m not going to Africa to live with a bunch of wives. American girls just don’t do that, especially from the projects.” (laughs)

Essence.com: So how was it transforming from little sister to sex-symbol as the show progressed?

B.S.: I didn’t expect any of that. It’s very interesting because people tell me, “You were the first African-American brown-skinned girl with an Afro. You were a Black girl.” I always say God makes everybody just the way they are supposed to be. If I had been light with straight hair, then I wouldn’t have been Thelma.

Essence.com: And even after the show you and the cast have stayed in touch and even worked together. When was the last time you caught up with Janet Jackson?

B.S.: She called me and we talked when Esther passed. I am very close to her mom and family. My family always goes over to the Jacksons for the holidays. I love Jimmy. We have a wonderful kinship and I’ll always be his little sister (laughs). When I gave him my book he looked at the title and made that long face he makes and said, “No, not you Bern!” I said, “Jimmy, I didn’t do all of that. That’s the stuff I write about.” He said, “Ohhhh!” (laughs).

Essence.com: You’ve gone on to work on other shows such as The Love Boat, The Cosby Show and The Wayans Bros. Is there anyone you would like to work with in the future?

B.S.: I would like to work with Denzel Washington one day. A story like where two people grow up together and go separate ways. Then life and circumstances bring us back to the place we started from and we fall in love. Wouldn’t that be nice?

Essence.com: Yeah, that would be nice. On your site fans can request a phone call from you. How does that work?

B.S.: Oh yeah! You have to tell them to come and call me. It’s been really fascinating. One day I came up with the idea. When I did my book tour fans loved and missed me. I thought, Never again will that happen. I love them as much as they love me so thelmaofgoodtimes.com was born. Years ago, my mom used to write Lena Horne and Lena wrote back and sent a picture. She told me how it made her feel and I want my fans to feel the same. In fact, I got an e-mail from China a few days ago and she said, “Could you send me two pictures and a few stamps from America?” (laughs) I bought the cutest little stamps and I’m going to mail them.

Mediaoutrage- For all you Good Times fans that would like to catch up with Thelma/Bern Nadette hit up her personal site thelmaofgoodtimes.com. Thelma was definitely bangin! We would love to see Bern Nadette and other actors and actresses from some of those early iconic shows hit the screen in other projects.

Charlie Sheen is apologizing for calling his ex-wife Denise Richards the N word on her voice mail during a rant. SMH.

Via UsMagazine:

Charlie Sheen is apologizing for a three-year-old voicemail that ex Denise Richards made public.

The voicemail included a curse-filled rant from Sheen calling Richards – the mother of their two young daughters Sam, 4, and Lola, 3- a “f–king c–t” and a “f–king n—-r.”

In response, the Two and a Half Men star said in a statement released Wednesday, “I deeply apologize by my choice of words to all I have obviously offended; especially to Tony Todd, an African-American, who was my best man at my first two weddings.”

Sheen added, however, that “three and one-half years later, the reasons that caused the anger and frustration displayed on that voice mail continue to be manifested on a daily basis” because “my children did not show up today for a custodial visit without explanation.”

Mediaoutrage- Damn Charlie you get angry and thats the first word that come out? Somewhere Bill O’Reilly and the entire FoxNews staff is pleased.

Will Smith and Charlize Theron were back on the red carpet for the London premiere of Hancock today, giving photographers an entertaining show of pictures that are worth more than a thousand words. We know Jada had to have approved this type of action. The conversation probably went something like this…phone rings…Jada picks up “Hello Will baby.” Will: “Hey girl, listen we out here in London me and Charlize, and we were thinking about going with the same type theme that we went with the day before where we get a little lip action on the neck, how bout it?” Jada:”You know that’s fine…but let me catch one picture with some lip lip action and I will personally rip your balls off reattach them, then rip them off again and tape them to the wall in our movie room in that mansion of ours. Ok sweetie?” Will: “Oh yeah…(pause) yeah (voice cracks) yeah baby thats cool…(laughingly says) girl you so crazy.” Jada: “Im not playing honey, nor am I f*cking around with your big eared ass, enjoy, love you call me later so we can decide which couple we gone f*ck this weekend, im feeling like some Russian d**k.”

Mediaoutrage- Juggling scripts and copping rocks…now that’s a busy woman right there.

Samuel Jackson and his wife Latanya Richardson attended the Paris premiere of “Cleaner” Friday. Sam is staying busy and is working on 6 films that will debut between 2008-2009. He has been in more than 60 movies. That is definitely a hard working brother. We remember Latanya best for her role in The Fighting Temptations.
