Chris Rock kicked off his standup tour in Boston last night, and the crowd met him with a standing ovation. After they quieted down, he asked them, quote, "How was your weekend?"
Then he announced that he WASN'T going to talk about the Oscars. Quote, "I don't have a bunch of [stuff] about what happened, so if you came to hear that, I have a whole show I wrote before this weekend, and I'm still kind of processing what happened.
"So at some point, I'll talk about that [stuff]. And it'll be serious, and it'll be funny."
Later on in his set, he said, quote, "Except for some other pretty weird things, life is pretty good right now."
He got another standing O at the end of the show.

Video Has Surfaced of Will Smith Making Fun of a Bald Guy
Obviously, given his actions last Sunday night, WILL SMITH would never mock a bald person, right? Well . . .
Someone unearthed a clip of Will on "The Arsenio Hall Show" back in 1991, making fun of the bass player in Arsenio's band . . . because he's bald.
Will says, quote, "The bass player? He got a rule. He got to wax his head every morning. That's a rule! He follows the rules, man. He follows the rules."
Then, when the audience turns on Will, he says, quote, "Oh, these are jokes. Come on!"
Whoever posted the video says Will is making fun of someone with alopecia, but that's not true. The bass player's name is John B. Williams, and he tells "Rolling Stone" that he does NOT have it.
He also says he wasn't bothered by Will's joke . . . he just "laughed it off." He says he understands Will wanting to defend his wife, but thinks it's "unfortunate" how the whole Oscar thing went down.
