The late great Biggie Smalls' mother Voletta Wallace told Essence magazine: "There were things about him [Biggie] that I never knew that I wanted to see for myself on film. I saw a side of my son that I heard of but I haven’t accepted. I’m angered by certain things, disappointed and shocked. So this film taught me tolerance and to be less critical. I would love to speak to Lil’ Kim, because I need to ask more about this love relationship because I really didn’t like the way he treated her and I’m praying that that’s not it. Only she can answer those questions. She’s a sweet girl and I didn’t think she deserved to be treated the way he treated her, if that’s the case."

Kat Slapper Speaks
The dude from Detroit who slapped Kat Williams spoke to Vibe Magazine and this is what he had to say about the night he put the smack down: “I was probably with like 16, 17 dudes, we were scattered out throughout the club. Basically we were just up in there having a good time.” Kat passed dude, who was wearing a cowboy hat and a pair of $5,000 alligator cowboy boots, as he headed to the stage. When Kat got on the mic and started to riff, things went south. “I wasn’t even paying attention,” dude said. “I was talking to someone else while he was doing it. And then he pointed at me. I walked over to a couple of friends of mine, and they told me, ‘He’s clowning you.’ So I walked over there and asked [Kat], ‘So what you say? I don’t play that joke shit.’ So he was like, ‘And what?’ And that's when dude laid hands on Kat. "He didn’t even admit what he said when I asked him. He was still on some comedy stuff after I slapped him, I swear. After I slapped him, he jumped back and he was still talking and it was some girls holding him back. It was actually some girls in the club grabbing bottles like they wanted to do something to me too, like trying to protect him. He stopped and actually grabbed a square and was trying to light his cigarette. It was on some comedy stuff to me. He was trying to get his square lit, he took like two puffs, and he tried to charge back at me. But at this time, the security was heading me towards the door.” The next day on Detroit’s radio station WJLB, Kat told radio host Dr. Darrius dude slapped him in an attempt to steal his jewelry, a fact dude denied. “We weren’t trying to get his jewelry. I wasn’t that drunk to not know what was going on. [Kat] told like 20 percent of the truth [on the radio]. I could understand if we were at a comedy club, or some shit like that, but we weren’t there for that. It was after-hours, niggas was drunk, feeling it, we wasn’t there for that. It wasn’t no comedy show we were at. He’s mad because my guy was looking more pimpish than him. I’d do it again if he say something like that. And if I meet him, and he don’t do nothing like that, he on some old friendly buddy-buddy shit, I’m buddy-buddy too. I don’t have no problem. But if he got a problem next time we see each other…”

Jeffery Wright Beats Charges
Remember when actor Jeffrey Wright got into that bar fight down in Shreveport Louisiana and got arrested and tasered by the cops? The charges against Jeff have been dropped. What charges you ask? Jeffrey was charged with interfering with an arrest after he tried to stop the cops from arresting his 'W' co-star Josh Brolin. And, as per the agreement, as long as Jeff stays out of trouble until March '09, everything is all good. Click here to see the tasering go down.

T.I. On The Hook For Baby's Mama's Lawyer's Fees
According to the Atlanta Journal and Constitution:
Lawyers for the mother of T.I.’s sons say the rapper owes an $8,000 attorney bill in a custody case.
T.I. is scheduled to appear in Fulton County Superior Court on the matter Tuesday.
The two-time Grammy winner was ordered in September to pay more than $3,000 a month to LaShon Dixon — to whom he had been paying about $2,000 per month — as well as the boys’ private school tuition, uninsured medical bills and expenses related to the children’s extracurricular activities.
The court ordered T.I. to pay the attorney fees by Nov. 19, said Dixon’s attorney, Randy Kessler.
T.I. and Dixon are still negotiating child support and custody of the boys, ages 7 and 8. He also has two sons with his fiancee, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, of the defunct R&B group Xscape.

Kat Williams Slapped Over Bad Jokes in Detroit
Saturday night Kat Williams was in a local Detroit night club doing an impromptu stand-up routine. Sooooo he starts going in on this one dude who was wearing a cowboy hat and matching boots. Spies in the house say the crowd was cracking up until Mr. Cowboy walked up to Kat and slapped him across the face. They say Kat, who was without any sort of entourage, just sat in a corner smoking a cigarette and when someone approached him asking if he was alright, he answered, "Hell naw I ain't alright! Didn't you just see that nigga slap me!?"
And speaking of Kat Williams, he was in Detroit for a New Year's Eve comedy battle against Steve Harvey. Here's a clip.
