Katt Williams' "Cocaine Induced" MELTDOWN On-Stage (NSFW)
Funnyman Katt Williams suffered an unfunny meltdown during an Oakland, CA concert, which his close friends attributed to cocaine. Watch the uncomfortable moment inside....
In addition to numerous lawsuits, arrests and allegations of physical abuse, Katt Williams just can't seem to stay out of trouble or out of the headlines.  On Friday, during a concert in Oakland at the Oracle Arena, Katt Williams took the stage and had a very public meltdown.

During his set, fans say the comedian began removing his shirt and sweating profusely while spewing out a rambling set of monologues.  All within the span of ten minutes, he began verbally attacking a heckler and threatened to fight the individual backstage before telling him to bring his "b*tch" with him.  
He was later escorted off of the stage by his security, leaving man fans upset and demanding a refund.

It was a very sad and uncomfortable meltdown to watch; however, one of the show's comedians did hit the microphone to joke, "This is what happens when you get your dope in Oakland, CA!"  Womp.

Watch the meltdown here:


A DAMN SHAME GET HELP!

 “A$$ A$$ A$$” track, that’s exactly what you will be getting an eyeful of when you pick up next month’s King Magazine featuring Love and Hip Hop Atlanta’s K. Michelle and Basketball Wives LA star Brooke Bailey. The two ladies cover two separate covers of the “Reality Issue” which also features Love and Hip Hop Atlanta’s Erica Dixon, former Bad Girls Club star Natalie Nunn and singer Teairra Mari.
Take a peek at a few pics from both King Magazine spreads below:
But wait Draya was arguing wth Brooke over the Cover? 
Well from what I saw on BBW LA the claws came out after Brooke got the King Magazine cover from the photo shoot Draya walked out on...
WATCH:

No shade Draya's reaction was good IMO... Brooke and ole boy took it there and Draya addressed it like anyone would who's name was brought up and shouldn't have been.

T.I. Reveals “Trouble Man” Cover and Tracklisting
I just need TIP to stop trying to prove to the streets that you still got it, when we all know you don’t! I like the fact that he is trying . T.I.’s eighth album Trouble Man: Heavy Is the Head. The Atlanta rapper has revealed the illustrated cover art and star-studded tracklisting as part of his “Trouble Man Tuesdays” series. The 16 tracks include appearances from Lil Wayne, R. Kelly, André 3000, Pink, CeeLo Green, Meek Mill, and more, plus production by Pharrell, No I.D., DJ Toomp, T-Minus, and Rico Love. “I think it’s a lot more urban than Paper Trail, and less apologetic than No Mercy,” said Tip of the follow-up to his 2010 album. “I think it’s more diversified than T.I. vs. T.I.P. though. It’s got a lotta heart, it’s got a lotta edge. It’s a creative album. It’s probably harder than most of the shit that’s coming out right now.”

Trouble Man arrives on December 18. See the tracklisting below.

Entertainment News; K. Michelle LANDS Record DEAL With Warner Bros. + Tyler Perry DIRECTING The "Single Moms Club" + Lenny Kravitz SET To PLAY Marvin Gaye In BIOPIC
After many ups and down in the music industry, singer K. Michelle has finally found her footing and signed a major recording deal with Warner Bros. As her struggle has been documented on the reality show "LAHH ATL," K. Michelle has garnered many fans and supporters as she's shared stories from her past (including allegations of domestic abuse and missteps in the music industry).  
She shared her excitement with Singersroom saying, 
"I'm just really blessed to get a second chance. I have so much to sing about and so many stories to tell.  I may not be the most polished or prissy R&B singer, but I do feel that I am the voice of a lot of women who don't have a voice."

Congrats K. Michelle!

In movie news......
As Tyler Perry gears up for a big year with OWN (as he is producing several scripted projects) he's also announced plans to produce, direct and star in the upcoming film Single Moms Club.  
The film follows four single mothers from different walks of life who are brought together by an incident at their children's school.  So far, William Levy and Zulay Henao have signed on for the film which is due in 2013.

Also, Tyler recently wrote the forward for a book called Joining Forces: Empowering male Survivors to Thrive by Dr. Howard Franklin.  He posted to Facebook,
"There (are) a lot of boys who have been abused and hurt... Most men never saying a word about it, just suffering in silence....
"I know that this is difficult to talk about or even acknowledge, especially for men. That's why I am so happy that Dr. Howard Fradkin has written a book called Joining Forces to help men who are adult survivors learn to cope, deal and most of all stop suffering in silence...

I know the pain and the darkness and the shame that we as men can carry when these evil acts have been put upon us. But I also... know the peace and comfort that comes along with healing from the horror. Healing can start by reading this book."

And in casting news..... 
According to London's Evening Standard, Lenny Kravitz has been cast as the legendary Marvin Gaye in an upcoming biopic.  The film, which will be directed by British filmmaker Julian Temple, will focus on Marvin's late career when he lived in the United Kingdom and struggled with money woes and alcohol addiction.

But just like the upcoming biopics on Nina Simone and Jimi Hendrix, the "family" isn't on board for the film.  The paper reports that Janis Gaye, Marvin's second and last wife, has said she feels “very sceptical” about the project.  So far, Marvin's daughter Nona Gaye (who's also a singer) hasn't spoken out about the project.


Keri Knows now NOT to pull a crowd!
Imagine taking a 17 hour flight to perform and nobody shows up to hear you sing. Welcome to Keri Hilson's world...
Entertainment writers for OMG Ghana posted pictures of Keri Hilson's empty venue in the Nigerian capital Abuja.
