Katt Williams NOT Bankrupt- Bashed By Ex Employees!!!

After further investigation on the Katt Williams bankruptcy claim that was made to us, (and after additional due diligence by us as looking for the filings of the bankruptcy claims in the state of California) we recently discovered that the claims that were made to us by several former employees of Katt Williams were proven to be false.

Furthermore, our investigation has uncovered that these were individuals who set out to discredit Katt Williams, and for the purpose of our involvement in this matter we apologize on reporting this about Katt Williams, and also apologize for any harm this may have done to him or his family. We had the audacity to print this story that we thought was coming from reliable sources (as they were reliable in the past), so we’d better have the audacity to apologize.

Katt Williams Files For Bankruptcy!

In the long list of controversies surrounding Katt Williams, it looks like this following news might be a serious set back; we just discovered from several sources that comedian and actor Williams has filed for bankruptcy.

This is just some of the latest news that has developed from his camp. In the last 12 months Katt has made the news several times.

On Wednesday, November 5, 2008, he failed to appear as a scheduled guest on NBC's Late Night with Conan O'Brien. This was the first time this had happened on the show since its debut in 1993.

During the early morning of Thursday, November 6, 2008, Williams was arrested on weapons charges in midtown Manhattan after police say they pulled him over for driving a car without license plates. He was released on bail later that day in time for his show at Carnegie Hall.

The following day, at Williams' appearance at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, New Jersey on Nov. 7, Katt announced that he would make his final stand up performance on December 31, 2008, citing wear and tear on the road, the need to keep his family together, and a desire to help young up-and-coming comedy acts get their start.

On December 31, 2008, while performing at a New Year's Eve show in Detroit, Katt Williams began to insult Steve Harvey (The Original Kings of Comedy) for calling himself an original king of comedy. Katt stated that Richard Pryor and Bill Cosby are the only original kings of comedy. He went on to say, "How can you be the original if you were not the first?"

Over the New Year weekend, Katt was slapped by a man at a club in Detroit while attempting to perform a freestyle. Katt claimed the altercation was over some jewels he was wearing.

Over the past several years, Katt Williams has been involved in several tours that have grossed over $50 million dollars and several months ago Katt turned down an offer from Comedy Central for over $50 million, not to mention his official retirement from doing stand up over the Christmas holidays.

DL Hughley Lands A New Radio Show

Our sources have just revealed to us the comedian DL Hughley has landed a job on one of New York’s hottest radio station’s KISS FM.

Hughley joins the ranks of fellow comedian Rickey Smiley, J Anthony Brown, and Steve Harvey as being a comedian on the radio although his show will not be syndicated.

Hughely accepts the role on the radio right after his wildly controversial show on CNN titled D.L. Hughley Breaks The News was cancelled- on the heels of stating that the Republican National Convention “literally look[s] like Nazi Germany”. Word is Hughley also approached CNN about being permanently based in Los Angeles, where his family lives. To accommodate this, CNN agreed upon a new role where he will be a contributor for the network based in Los Angeles despite his show being cancelled.

With KISS FM it looks like Hughley will be broadcasting from Los Angeles.

Eddie Murphy Out Of Beverly Hills Cop 4 & In Trump Heist

We have just discovered that comedic actor Eddie Murphy is not going to do Beverly Hill Cop 4, regardless of the internet rumors that are floating around. The reason is plainly simple; Murphy does not like the script. We can say that Director Brett Ratner is working with some writers to work the script to make another pitch to Murphy, but so far that door is closed.

We can also say that Murphy loves the new script from Ratner titled Trump Heist (the movie that we mentioned months ago and is a Universal film). Murphy has agreed to star in that film as Ratner is currently trying to surround Murphy with a great cast, with actors like Sidney Poitier, Chris Tucker, and Chris Rock just to name a few. So far, no one but Murphy has agreed to star in the film but word is that Rock is officially close to signing on as well.

Trump Heist has been pitched as an urban version of Ocean’s 11, and is about the employees of the Trump Tower in New York who conspire to rip off the building's residents.

Stay tuned, as we will have more news on this story as it develops.

BET Exec Responds To 2009 BET Awards Backlash

*****UPDATED******Due to the overwhelming response we heard from our readers and viewers because of the Michael Jackson Tribute at the 2009 BET Awards, and due to the major uproar being steered towards the network, we reached out to BET for a response- and got one from a very high level executive at BET.

If you have not heard by now, an open letter was written to the network by Director and Activist Byron Hurt, and it has been posted to several major websites. Hurt, the letter’s author, complained about many things, from the performances, specifically Lil’ Wayne’s to much more. He states in his letter that “it’s sad and unfortunate that your network, owned by Viacom, continues to crank out mediocrity and perpetuate negative stereotypes of black men, women, and children.” The letter has continued to circulate around the internet, and finally has garnered a response from the Executive who wishes to remain anonymous.

The Exec does address many concerns that you have emailed us about, and first and foremost he responds to the lack of attendance from certain people who were not present for the BET Awards, which was supposed to be a tribute to Michael Jackson who passed away two days earlier. He States, “Berry Gordy, Diana Ross... Too distraught to make live public appearances. Usher, Omarion, Justin (Timberlake)... All in Europe. At the end of the day, not everyone can adjust their schedules or emotions. HOWEVER it should be noted that we (BET) did NOT call Janet (Jackson) to participate; we respected their call for privacy. Her folks called us and we are honored... and are proud to say that the family enjoyed our upbeat, humorous, heartfelt tribute. THAT'S what matters.”

On the performances, especially Lil Wayne’s, the Exec continues on by saying, “… We appreciate the support of folks and are proud to have done this show, and pay tribute to Michael Jackson AND salute regular folks doing super-regular things; The 3 doctors from Newark... Mayor James Young from Philadelphia, MS, and the folks from Food From The Hood who are growing and selling their own vegetables... And making money for their college education. There was really so much positive in this show that I wish folks would focus on. If it helps, we fully admit the girls on Young Money was unplanned and regrettable. Wayne's heart was in the right place (trying to please his daughter) even if the execution wasn't.”

It should also be noted that the Executive has assured us that BET has plans to produce a show dedicated to Michael Jackson in the very near future.
