BOSTON — Chris Rock is bringing the most-talked about cheek in America to town this week. The comedian, fresh off "The Slap," is bringing his comedy tour to Boston's Wilbur Theater for shows Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. For the half-dozen people who haven't heard yet, Rock was slapped silly by an enraged Will Smith Sunday night at the 94th Academy Awards. Smith then loudly cursed out Rock from his seat in the audience. Rock had made a joke about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, starring in "G.I. Jane 2" due to her short hair. Pinkett Smith has publicly talked about her battle with alopecia, a disease that often causes hair loss. Massachusetts Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, who has open about her hair loss, tweeted then immediately deleted a support of the Smiths. "#Alopecia nation stand up!" she wrote. "Thank you #WillSmith Shout out to all the husbands who defend their wives living with alopecia in the face of daily ignorance & insults." RELATED: MA-Filmed CODA Wins Best Picture
