Richard Pryor Pam Grier: The Cocaine Vagina Monologues

You gotta love Richard Pryor. The iconic comedian is still bringing the funny from The Other Side. In her new memoir, FOXY: My Life in Three Act, ’70s sex symbol Pam Grier is extremely forthcoming about her romance with Pryor…and the lasting impact he made on her vagina.

Grier says she and Richard broke up in part because the dope dick he was hitting her with led to a dangerous buildup of the drug in her vagina.

Lordy…

Here’s an exercpt of a conversation Pam had with her gynocelogist:

He said, “Pam, I want to tell you about an epidemic that’s prevalent in Beverly Hills right now. It’s a buildup of cocaine residue around the cervix and in the vagina. You have it. Are you doing drugs?”

“No,” I said, astonished.

“Well, it’s really dangerous,” he went on. “Is your partner putting cocaine on his penis to sustain his erection?”

“No,” I said, “not that I know of. It’s not like he has a pile of cocaine next to the bed and he dips his penis in it before we have sex.” I had a nauseating flash of one of Richard’s famous lines: Even my dick has a cocaine jones.

“Are you sure he isn’t doing it in the bathroom before he comes to bed?” the doctor asked.

“That’s a possibility,” I said. “You know, I am dating Richard Pryor.”

“Oh, my God,” he said. “We have a serious problem here. If he’s not putting it on his skin directly, then it’s worse because the coke is in his seminal fluid.”

The doctor then asks her if her mouth went numb while performing oral sex on Pryor, which she says it did, and which he links to the Novocaine-like effects of cocaine.

Chris Rock Dropped From Richard Pryor Biopic After Michael Vick Dog Crack

Chris Rock’s stance on dog-fighting has come back to bite him in the — well, you get the picture. The comedian and documentarian behind the critically-acclaimed side-splitter Good Hair has been dumped from a upcoming biopic based on the life of late comedy icon Richard Pryor after defending convicted dog killer Michael Vick during an appearance on The Jay Leno Show earlier this month, The National Enquirer reports.

“What the hell did Michael Vick do, man? A dog, a pit bull ain’t even a real dog. A pit bull, that’s the white stuff. Dogs are white man’s best friend – dogs have never been good to black people,” Chris quipped

That didn’t go over so well with Richard’s White, animal-lovin’ widow, Jennifer Pryor

Chris had been on-board to produce the eagerly-awaited Richard Pryor: Is It Something I Said? alongside Jennifer — who just happens to be the director of the animal rescue group Pryor’s Pets. The organization, founded by Richard before his death in 2005, was created to rescue abused and neglected dogs.

“Among the 40 dogs we are currently caring for are seven pit bulls….each one is a sweet and affectionate dog who mistreated or dumped or neglected all because of their breed.”

After watching Chris’ controversial appearance on Leno, a fuming Jennifer promptly alerted her attorney that she no longer wants Chris involved in the film project.

“For your information, Chris, what Michael Vick did was to torture, drown, electrocute, and murder dogs all for fun and profit. He went to prison for felony animal cruelty! That’s what he did!” Jennifer thundered at the comic. “These types of comments only encourage abuse and misunderstanding of their breed, as well as actual dog-fighting,” she added.

The Richard Pryor biopic — which is expected to star Marlon Wayans — hits theaters in 2011.
