CNN —Close your eyes and imagine a stand-up comedian. Today, female comics are more likely to be seen in vintage Versace, Gucci or Alessandra Rich than a denim button-down. To the uninitiated, Barone wore a sparkly silver dress. Dev Bowman“For a long time, female comedians were pressured into dressing like their male counterparts,” said Barone. “I don’t want it to seem like I’m saying I’m the first person to ever wear a dress to do stand up comedy,” she said.

An absolute legend of stand-up, Margaret Cho is a touchstone for many performers. They have worked on both coasts and accumulated many television credits, but they will operate out of a leading house of improvisation.

To me, humor is the unexpected thought that comes through. Atsuko’s work is observational, but it’s delivered through misdirection. It’s rare, in comedy, certainly, but in entertainment in general, to find somebody with a unique point of view that blends so seamlessly into what they do as an artist. And that hair. Nobody in the history of comedy has had better hair.

In an interview with Allure magazine, Stefani, 53, who is Italian American, cited the influence of Japanese culture in her home when she was growing up. "I said, 'My God, I'm Japanese and I didn't know it,'" Stefani told Allure. She later insisted, "I am, you know," calling herself a "super fan" of Japanese culture. A representative for Stefani told Calaor that she had "misunderstood what Stefani was trying to convey" but declined to provide an on-the-record statement. Even before the interview, Stefani had defended her "Harajuku" era.

Weird Al, known for taking famous pop and rock songs and sending them up by rewriting the lyrics. It began as a fake movie trailer that director Eric Appel made in 2013 as a sketch for Funny or Die. It featured Aaron Paul, Olivia Wilde, Gary Cole, Mary Steenburgen, Patton Oswalt and yes, Weird Al. Yankovic noted that the day after the trailer came out, “if you did a Google search for Weird Al, the first thing is, ‘Did Weird Al date Madonna?’ Everybody wanted to know.

The book, "A Very Asian Guide to Korean Food," comes out Friday and aims to introduce commonly eaten Korean and Korean-fusion dishes to kids using colorful illustrations and brief trivia, such as their origins and how they’re prepared. I don’t think it was appropriate that she said that. “When the voicemail went viral, I was like, first of all, Korean food is not offensive, you know?” Li told NBC News. “I don’t want [my son] to be embarrassed about Korean food,” she said. “I don’t think anyone should be embarrassed about food because food is who we are.

Novelist Amy Tan and Oscar-winning “Rain Man” screenwriter Ron Bass are on board to deliver a sequel to “The Joy Luck Club,” the 1993 movie that broke new ground for Asian American representation. The new film, “Joy Luck Club 2,” is set up at Ashok Amritraj’s Hyde Park Entertainment Group, with Ashok and Priya Amritraj producing alongside Tan, Bass and Jeff Kleeman. The original “Joy Luck Club,” directed by Wayne Wang, was an epic, multigenerational saga of Chinese and Chinese-American mothers and daughters, whose histories, stories and lives interweave as they navigate life. In “Joy Luck Club 2,” the mothers become grandmothers and the daughters become mothers in their own right, introducing a new generation exploring their own relationships with culture, heritage, love, womanhood and identity. The original film debuted in limited commercial release in September 1993 and also played at the Toronto International Film Festival.
