Star Tidbits: Oprah sued again and the REAL reason why Kat Williams did not host the BET Hip-Hop Awards

Another person is after Oprah’s money, and this time they want $180 million. E-online reports:

X
“A Louisiana man who was once accused of trying to extort money from Oprah Winfrey has filed a defamation lawsuit against the talk-show host, claiming that Winfrey's allegations severely damaged his reputation.
X
Keifer Bonvillain, who agreed to perform 50 hours of community service, pay $3,000 in restitution and undergo drug testing in order to avoid jail time, is seeking $180 million in damages.

There was substantial damage done to my name and reputation on a world level," his complaint states. "The extent of my damages is vast." The federal charges against him were dismissed a year later, according to the suit.”

When will these people learn, nobody has sued Oprah and won. Especially if you already been to jail behind some shady activity. You gets zero credibility!

A report on Livesteez has reported that Comedian Katt Williams was a no-show at the BET Hip-Hop Awards ‘08.

"The comic pitched a serious hissy fit and walked off the show, according to insiders. Williams claimed earlier this week that he turned over his hosting job to T-Pain after losing a break-dancing contest to the rapper. But sources say he actually bailed after an angry face-off with BET execs before the show’s taping at the Boisfeuillet Jones Civic Center on October 18, according to the NY Daily News. "Katt has become difficult now that he’s a megastar,” one source says. “He was very demanding during rehearsals. He really berated one female member of the production company. He launched into a verbal assault on her in front of other people. I mean, he read her the riot act. Then he left the set and said he wouldn’t return unless she apologized. She wouldn’t. BET and the production company backed her up. Katt wouldn’t come back. Nobody was willing to budge.
X
So the night before the show, they had no host. They were scrambling to find somebody. At 1 a.m., the night before the show, they called T-Pain. He agreed to do it, and started rehearsing the next morning for the show that evening.”

Im confused. When did Katt become a mega star? I will say he's a funny dude, but acting like this is not the business and makes me look at him a whole lot differently.

You can watch T-Pain make a fool of himself as the host of BET's Hip Hop Honors tonight.
