BOLDUAN: Welcome back to</s>NEW DAY. NISCHELLE TURNER, CNN ENTERTAINMENT CORRESPONDENT: It's the pose.</s>CUOMO: I'm trying to show off my designer hose. What do you think they told me I had boring socks?</s>TURNER: They're "Cat in a Hat" socks.</s>CUOMO: I bought these yesterday. Last time I saw socks like that, they were trapped under a house in Oz.</s>TURNER: I like that.</s>BOLDUAN: Nischelle Turner is here with the "Pop 4" take it away tonight.</s>TURNER: I like this conversation. But let's get to the "Pop 4". Let's look at this. This is the late R&B; star Aaliyah. She is acting as a Chris Brown's backup singer there in his new music video for "Don't think they know yes". This hologram Aaliyah, it's crazy. It's our number four story this morning. The musical songstress is featured heavily on the track -- I want to kind of hear it -- of his upcoming album. Brown actually pays tribute to her at the end of the video. So my question to you guys is, is it creepy or cool?</s>BOLDUAN: Right.</s>TURNER: Because I thought the Tupac hologram that they did, remember that a few months ago -- I didn't love that.</s>BOLDUAN: There was a lot of strong reaction to the Tupac thing. As you can see it is it's honoring her, but it's also --</s>PEREIRA: Some people forget the way that Tupac (inaudible).</s>BOLDUAN: Yes.</s>PEREIRA: For whatever reason, I don't know why.</s>TURNER: Me neither.</s>PEREIRA: It's two to one.</s>BOLDUAN: The advances in technology maybe or a better hologram, I guess.</s>PEREIRA: It could be a better hologram. You knew that we'll be talking about better hologram. This is</s>CNN. TURNER: He may have walked away because I know you guys love this. He may have walked away from a reported $50 million contract in 2005. You see this smile in my face? Dave Chappelle is back and it's our number three story. The former "Chappelle Show" host has been confirmed as headliner for Funny or Die's "Oddball Comedy and Curiosity Festival. It kicks off August 23rd. It is a return to the spotlight for him. He's kept a relatively low profile since leaving the "Chappelle Show" -- get this -- eight years ago.</s>PEREIRA: It's been that long?</s>TURNER: Eight years -- can we all just have a collective -- that he comes back to television. Please. So funny.</s>CUOMO: One of my favorites. Come on NEW DAY, Chappelle.</s>BOLDUAN: Yes. Come back.</s>TURNER: Put that out there one more time, please.</s>CUOMO: Come on NEW DAY, Chappelle.</s>TURNER: You heard Chris Cuomo.</s>CUOMO: I'll give you a pair of my socks.</s>BOLDUAN: Please cancel that interview.</s>TURNER: No you know what; we would love that. And I need him back on television. We need Chappelle back.</s>BOLDUAN: Ditto.</s>TURNER: The number two story popping today guys, last night, I headed to the "World War Z" premiere right here in New York City in Times Square. It's my first time in Times Square mind you.</s>PEREIRA: Hey Brad.</s>TURNER: Snagged myself a little face time with the one and only Brad Pitt. Now we talked about "World War Z" being a big blockbuster. Look at that --</s>PEREIRA: He's so dreamy.</s>TURNER: We look good together there. Did that come out of my mouth? We talked about the fact that this was a summer blockbuster. He is not a superhero, though. And I have to tell you guys, Brad Pitt and I are almost family.</s>BOLDUAN: Really? How is that?</s>CUOMO: How so?</s>PEREIRA: Wait, what?</s>TURNER: Well, we're both proud Missourians. Both proud University of Missouri Tigers, both journalism students at the University of Missouri. My name could be Nischelle Pitt.</s>BOLDUAN: It could be.</s>TURNER: I'm just saying.</s>PEREIRA: You have to pick Superman or Brad, though. You can't have both.</s>TURNER: I think Brad has more staying power. And he's got all those children. I love kids. Nischelle loves the kids. So I'm picking Brad Pitt. Ok the number one story this morning Johnny Depp getting trampled by a horse? I mean you can see this -- look at this, look at this -- taking a nasty fall. This is during the filming of "Lone Ranger". Now he wasn't seriously injured so we can show this over and over again, but it's a tense moment on the set. He walked away with some real bruises. This could have been a lot worse. But you know I sat down with Armie Hammer, who plays the Lone Ranger, Gore Verbinski and Jerry Bruckheimer and talked to them about the making of this movie. I asked Gore who is right there on the scale from one to 10, how hard was this movie to make? He said an 11. They said this was the most difficult movie they ever made and there was so many problems with it. I'm anxious to see it. It starts on July 3rd.</s>CUOMO: But there was some --</s>BOLDUAN: We're very excited about it.</s>TURNER: Yes, yes there were a couple times where Armie said he was really kind of afraid for his life.</s>PEREIRA: Oh really?</s>CUOMO: Looking forward to seeing it. Nischelle Turner, as always, it's awesome to have you here.</s>PEREIRA: She loves kids.</s>CUOMO: We're going to take a quick break. Coming back on NEW DAY, what John Berman learned on the Internets. There's a scandal involving the sugary sweet "Cap'n Crunch". Oh no.</s>TURNER: That's my favorite cereal.</s>CUOMO: Say it isn't so.
