What's The Deal Between The Katt Williams & Steve Harvey Beef?

In a news story that we did not want to even mention, it seems that there has been a so-called beef between comedians Katt Wiliams and Steve Harvey that has been brewing for a couple of months. The drama that has been building up was leading up to Harvey and Williams confronting each other as they were booked to join forces during their 2008 Championship of Comedy show at Joe Louis Arena on New Year's Eve in Detroit. A couple of days later, we can say that they did not disappoint. Williams and Harvey had supposedly squashed their differences before the show, but Williams went on stage and called Harvey out and things went down hill from there. The question remains; was this a marketing gimmick? Well, we can say that the show was sold out and lots more struggled to get some tickets, while Harvey has stated that he was "insulted" by Williams' comments on stage. What we can also say is if it was a gimmick, it has gone too far for Harvey who has yet to respond but insiders say to expect a lot from him on his talk show on Monday. Stay tuned!

Eddie Murphy In Gotham Or Not?

As we told you a couple of days ago, we heard the news from several stories that Eddie Murphy was lined up to play the Riddler in the next Batman film franchise. Well, we got down to the very nitty-gritty about the story and here is the story; Christopher Nolan (The Director for both films) is not signed on yet, and therefore no other actors are attached to the film-yet. BUT, the rumor is still in the air about Murphy because Nolan expressed his interest on stars he is extremely interested in for the next film (and Murphy's name was mentioned), tentatively titled Gotham. Nolan also expressed he wanted the next film to be as dark as his first two films, and he expressed several actor who might be perfect for the roles. So, no one is attached yet, not Murphy, or Shai LaBeouf (rumored to play as Robin).

So, the script is not written yet, so there is no solid ground yet for anything. We will get back to you on this developing story.
