21 Jump Street

LONG TIME NO SEE: RICHARD GRIECO


Whenever we run into Richard Grieco, we fondly remember him from 21 Jump Street. Johnny Depp became a STAR after the first season and he couldn’t wait to leave the show. Richard Grieco was hired as “the hot guy” to make up for the loss. Big shoes to fill, but he did so, admirably. Now Grieco, 50, is more of an artist than an actor. (Whatever he calls himself, he DOES need a haircut!) A few years ago he had a show at Galerie Sparta. Use link below to see his work.

21 JUMP STREET’S CHANNING TATUM AND JONAH HILL GO TO COLLEGE

Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill are producing and starring in “22 Jump Street,” which picks up where their characters in “21 Jump Street“ left off. Apparently the two not so brilliant cops who went undercover in high school in the last movie are now going undercover at Tulane University in New Orleans. Above, football star Channing and Jonah were photographed in a football helmet shaped car on the set on campus.

RICHARD GRIECO PUT DOWN HIS GUN, AND PICKED UP A PAINTBRUSH

Richard Grieco’s publicist describes him as “a cultural icon” for his appearance on the 80’s TV series 21 Jump Street. We’re not so sure about that, but it is kind of interesting that the actor, 48, (didn’t he replace Johnny Depp on the series?) is also an artist, and has been since 1991. He has a one man show opening in August at the Gallerie Sparta on Sunset, featuring his paintings that he describes as “abstract emotionalism.”

Didn’t Melanie Griffith and her daughter Dakota Johnson, 22, read our warning that mothers and daughters who party together end up in “bad places?” (Just ask Rumer Willis, Bobbi Kristina Brown, and Lindsay Lohan!) Melanie and Dakota were photographed leaving Chateau Marmont the other night and they both looked reasonably composed, however. Melanie has a new drama series on Lifetime “The American Housewife,” and Dakota has a role in the “21 Jump Street” makeover.
