*Tevin Campbell, who just celebrated his 29th birthday last month, has joined the cast of Broadway’s “Hairspray.” The “Can We Talk” singer will take over the role of Seaweed J. Stubbs. It's current star Chester Gregory II is scheduled to leave the hit musical on Dec. 11. Campbell, whose acting experiences can be counted on one hand (an episode of “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” a guest spot on “Moesha” and a singing role in Prince’s “Graffiti Bridge”) is expected to begin performances on Dec. 13, according to a production spokesperson.

I don't know about Tevin Campbell, but Chester Gregory has been incredible in the role for the past 2 1/2 years and will be missed. Good luck Chester and thanks for the memories!
