Dave Chappelle + Comedy Central = Crazy Delicious

Dave Chappelle made an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show yesterday.  He opened up and told the Frey Killer the true story of what happened when he disappeared.  Dave says that after signing his $50 million deal, he just felt stressed out. He said that people were trying to control him and his show.  Chappelle decided that he needed a “spiritual” retreat , so he went to Africa. He has family and friends who live in South Africa, so he thought that it would be a good idea to spend some time away from Los Angeles.  The only problem with that was that he forgot to tell his wife or kids.   Dave says that he was only gone for two weeks, so it really wasn’t as mysterious an event as described by the media. 

 When it comes down to it, it appears that Dave made the same mistake that many great comedians make…they start to take themselves too seriously.  It has happened to most of the great ones…look at Chris Rock and Eddie Murphy.  Dave strayed away from just trying to be funny and started to think about his greater responsibility to the world.  I just want my favorite comedians to work on being funny and leave the political messages to celebrities like Susan Sarandon and Madonna.   

 Dave says that he would like to come back to his hit Comedy Central Show and have half of the DVD sales go to charity.

When it comes down to it.  Dave wasn’t crazy at all.  He just wanted to do a little soul searching.

Scarlett Johansson claims that she was being followed by Paparazzi when she crashed into a car in the Disneyland parking lot last week.

Access Hollywood’s article says:

Johansson, 20, paid the $10 fee to enter a lot at the amusement park when
she tried to get away from the vehicles and swerved, clipping the right side of
car carrying a woman and her two daughters, Pariseau said.

Johansson, who has starred in such movies as “Lost in Translation” and “The Island,” has left Los Angeles and hopes that state legislators will enact a law “to avoid these situations,” Pariseau said.

“She’s frustrated,” he said. “She can’t deal with it anymore.”

I curse the Paparazzi for chasing away young starlets from Hollywood!!!!!

Serial Killer Keeps A Blog

One of the most disturbing things that I have ever read on the internet is from accused serial killer Joseph Edward Duncan. Duncan kept a blog with disturbing accounts of his life and his “monsters”. I can’t really tell if this is his real blog or a joke that some sick blogger came up with. *Note: When clicking on some links, my Virus Scan was activated.

Read some of the accounts from “Blogging from the Fifth Nail”.
