Most high school dropouts don't have much luck at finding a stable career path, but the entertainment industry is a totally different thing. It's a gamble, but if you get lucky, you can have a million dollar career with only a sixth grade education.
Here are 10 celebrity dropouts. But don't get delusional kids—stay in school.
Tracy Morgan: Why doesn't this surprise me? Tracy Morgan is funny, but part of his whole shtick is sounding dumb. "I'm glad I dropped out of high school, man. I wouldn’t be where I’m at. I would have had a net. I’m glad I didn’t have anything to fall back on, man, because that made me go for my dreams that much harder.”

In yet another attempt at standup, Tracy Morgan has left the homosexuals and moved on to the mentally disabled. Which is a toughie, because groups who protect the mentally challenged want to be mad at him, yet he’s also their poster child.
“Don’t ever mess with women who have retarded kids,” Morgan said during a Saturday night performance in New York City. The crowd immediately began groaning before Morgan delivered his punchline...

He came under fire on Friday after making shockingly violent homophobic comments during his standup routine. After he got bashed in the media, he released a statement saying: "I'm not a hateful person and don't condone any kind of violence against others."
Now he’s planning on going back and making an apology in person. Clearly, there’s lot of damage control to do here!

An attendee said, “It was the worst thing I’ve ever heard…so not funny.”
I’m guessing his entire act was: “Boys who like boys? That’s crazy!”
Among other gems, Morgan said he thinks homosexuality is a choice, lesbians are pretending to be gay because they hate men, and Obama should “man up” and stop standing up for gay kids.

Tracy was a special guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Thursday night. And instead of bashing Mel, he sort of protected him.
He joked with Jay, "Calling women b**ches and using the N-word ... That ain’t nothing but hip-hop. He stole that concept from Lil’ Wayne.” "I wonder what he's gonna do next? Go to jail," he joked and maybe "get a tear drop," tattoo.

But if you’re going to go to one of his shows, be warned that it gets a little raunchy and politically incorrect. Last night, Tracy took the stage at Carnegie Hall in NYC to deliver jokes to Manhattan’s finest as part of the New York Comedy Festival.
But rather than making people laugh, Tracy just made people leave. According to the New York Daily News, several people walked out on the raunchy routine, which even included sexual references towards Barack Obama and Michelle Obama.
A source tells the paper, "There was a continuous flow of people getting up and leaving throughout the show."
But Tracy didn’t seem too offended by the mass exodus; he told the crowd, "You want the clean Tracy? Turn on the TV.”

There were some surprises this year and a few snubs, but as always, it's an honor just to be nominated for such a prestigious award. Hollyscoop caught up with some of this years nominees to get their initial reactions:
Chandra Wilson in regards to getting nominated: "We had already been to rehearsal and I had already seen the teleprompter and my name wasn’t on there, I asked ahead of time what to say about supporting actress to know what to say to you guys and they said no no no….I was in shock and my hands were shaking!"
Chandra Wilson in regards to announcing Emmys:
“To announce the nominations that was just a honor. It was cute I said ya I would do that for the academy."
Jim Parsons from The Big Bang Theory in regards to getting nominated: "This morning I started to feel a little ill when I got here. More than anything I was nervous of getting all the words right and being in this setting, I had no idea, I saw it on the teleprompter first it was so out of place. We rehearsed it three different times she (Chandra) and I and the same teleprompter and everything and the only thing that I was thrown off by was right before I went on they whispered to me, we left her off the list, you'll be saying her name. I was like oh god last minute changes on live TV at 5:30 in the morning, I was prepared for things to be weird but I didn’t know that it would be that weird."
Jim Parsons from The Big Bang Theory told Hollyscoop.com today in regards to announcing Emmys: “Being asked to present was really weird and wonderful because its nothing that you aim at doing so it really took me off my footing because obviously its not a career choice it seems like something else somebody does."
Alec Baldwin tells Hollyscoop: "I'm thrilled for everyone connected to the show, but I'm especially excited for Jane, Jack and Tracy. It's great working with the entire group and I'm grateful for the recognition of our work."
Seth MacFarlane (creator of Family Guy) tells Hollyscoop: We’re thrilled to see Family Guy and American Dad recognized by the Academy. And the idea that Family Guy can transcend animation and be honored as one of the best comedies on television is truly rewarding. We have a great team of people that work incredibly hard on both shows. I’m really proud of them.
Jon Hamm: “I am absolutely thrilled to be recognized and included among such excellent company. I am also glad that both Elisabeth and John's tremendous work was nominated, as well as the work of our incredibly talented crew. Finally, I would like to thank Tina Fey for allowing me to be the caboose on the freight train that is ‘30 Rock.’”
Sally Field tells Hollyscoop: "As Brothers & Sisters enters it's 4th season, it still is and always will be a great honor to be nominated. The only hard part is finding a dress...and a date."
Sarah Silverman tells Hollyscoop: "I had no idea. When I woke up I saw I had all these voicemails on my phone and my heart sank. I was positive someone had died"
Mary-Louise Parker tells Hollyscoop: “I am thrilled to be nominated amongst this talented group of actors and especially happy for my friend Christina that she is being recognized for her great work. I feel proud to be a part of this show and to work with an incredible group of creative minds who take chances and are being acknowledged for this today.”
Christina Applegate tells Hollyscoop: “This year’s nomination means more to me than ever before. I’m incredibly happy and honored. Certainly it’s bittersweet- we no longer get to do the show that we love so much, but that doesn’t take away from the excitement and honor of this nomination. This is a wonderful recognition of what we created together every week.”
Rainn Wilson tells Hollyscoop: “I am supremely honored to be nominated for an Emmy for the third time. They say good things come in threes, like comets, omens and Jonas Brothers. God bless these United States of America."
Tracy Morgan (first time nominee) tells Hollyscoop: “It is an honor to be recognized by my peers and be a part of ‘30 Rock's’ 22 nominations. I want to thank everyone from Tina to Lorne to everyone in craft services.”
Mariska Hargitay tells Hollyscoop: "I'm hugely grateful to be nominated, and ridiculously honored to stand in the company of these incredible artists."
Neil Patrick Harris tells Hollyscoop: "I love being in the mix again this year, but am absolutely over the moon about HIMYM's Best Comedy Series nomination. The only multi-camera show in the mix! This kind of recognition is huge for us. Just huge. It should be quite the night. Being asked to host the show - terrific. Getting a third nomination - fantastic. Having the ability to scribble my name in the envelope backstage when no one is looking - priceless."
Glenn Close tells Hollyscoop: “I’m thrilled. I’m part of a phenomenal team and am so, so happy for all our nominees.”
Kristen Wiig tells Hollyscoop: “I am so crazy happy, I don’t even know what to say. To be included with all these other nominees is beyond an honor.”

The film is called Death at a Funeral, which may sound familiar, because surprise surprise! It’s a remake!
The film was originally a British comedy from 2007, which is about a family who comes together for the death of the patriarch. A lot of family secrets are unleashed at the funeral, and the family gets jarred when the deceased’s alleged gay lover shows up.
Also joining the cast are James Marsden, Zoe Saldana, Danny Glover, Regina Hall, and Loretta Devine. Chris Rock is not only the writer, but he’ll produce and star in it as well.
We have some confidence in this project! The cast is pretty impressive, and Chris Rock is a great writer, at least as far as comedy goes. But British humor is tough to surpass, and the original was amazing. It’s up to Chris’ all-star cast to make what they will of it! Filming begins this Spring.
