Comedian Katt Williams had to replace a family's pet recently after his bodyguard shot and killed a dog during a tour stop in Arizona.

The Norbit star was passing through the state last month when he stopped at a fast food chain for a quick bite. While Williams was inside, one of his bodyguards opened fire on a retired police dog named Lester after it bit him in the parking lot after running free from its owners during a walk.

And when the funnyman/actor came outside, he felt so sorry for the devastated owners of the German shepherd; he ran inside his tour bus and gave the family his ow...

Comedian Katt Williams is in trouble with the law after he was involved in an altercation with a tractor driver on Saturday afternoon.

The Norbit star, who was staying at a property in Palmdale, California, was arrested by police after reportedly looking on as three women allegedly began attacking a man working on the grounds of the home and hitting him with rocks.

The tractor driver, whose identity has not been released, suffered injuries to his face and called his wife to pick him up.

However, he claims Williams attempted to stop him from leaving after the funnyman parked his Sports...

Comedian Katt Williams is facing new financial woes - he owes more than $280,000 in unpaid taxes.

Officers at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) filed a demand against the Norbit star for $284,419 on March 15th at the Los Angeles County Recorder of Deeds.

However, his manager insists the funnyman has every intention of sorting out the problem, telling the Detroit News, "Mr. Williams will pay all debts owed to the IRS."

The actor's personal problems have spun out of control in the last year - he was arrested in Georgia on suspicion of burglary in November, and was sued in February over...

Before we get started on the Mega Oscar Diary, let's go to a few random ramblings from the cadre of pre-shows around the dial:

SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) - A year after his Academy Awards dream went up in smoke, Eddie Murphy has not just one consolation prize, but three: Razzie Awards as worst actor, supporting actor and supporting actress for the comedy Norbit.

Spider-Man 3 has been named the most mistake-riddled movie of 2007 by British filmgoers. Fans have counted over 157 errors in the latest installment of the superhero franchise, as compiled by U.K. website moviemistakes.com.

The continuity mishaps included showing Cleveland, Ohio's Terminal Tower in view during Spider-Man's fight with the Sandman - despite the scene being set in New York. But it's not just the makers of Spider-Man 3 who are facing criticism - movie bloopers in 2007 are at an all-time high with almost 1000 spotted so far, up on last year's total.

Buying land next to the course's 17th hole as a bargaining strategy, the club's order is disrupted as C-Note and his entourage bring their flashy, hip-hop lifestyle to the prim and proper country club. As Cummings attempts to revoke his new members, C-Note must restore his honor and chan...

Griffin blasts, "You got crazy conspiracy theories that think it's a hoax... The pain I got in my neck is not a hoax."

Eddie Murphy avoided the London premiere of Dreamgirls because he was scared of Mel B fans, it has been alleged. The Nutty Professor star won the Best Supporting Actor Golden Globe for his role in the film, but didn't promote the movie in the UK because he didn't want to be confronted by Spice Girls fans angry at the way he dumped pregnant Mel.

A source told the New York Daily News newspaper: "London is her turf, and Eddie knows Mel has a loyal fan base. He's afraid the UK's reaction to him won't be good because of what he did to her."

The producers of Eddie Murphy's new comedy Norbit are appealing to get a family-friendly PG-13 rating for the film in America. Censors at the Motion Picture Association Of America's Classification And Ratings Board gave the film a hard R rating due to "sex-related humor," but producers insist they're being too harsh.

Despite losing their appeal with the MPAA, bosses at Paramount and DreamWorks - the studios behind the movie - plan to continue to work with the ratings board.
