With appearances in various music videos and television shows as well as two best
selling ringtones, Katt Williams could qualify as one of the
busiest entertainers around.
The comedian”s hit HBO stand up special Katt Williams: Pimp Chronicles Pt.
1, recently hit stores on DVD. And now the popular funnyman is preparing a new
rap/comedy album titled It’s Pimpin’, Pimpin’. The album is
dropping this spring on Cam”ron”s Diplomat Records/Warner Bros and features
cameos from Snoop Dogg, Da Brat, E-40, Lyfe Jennings, Paul Wall, Mike
Jones and Lil’ Jon. "Everything, everywhere
is comedy material," Williams said in a statement. "To watch and view
the world via television, newspapers, movies and music translates our world
into funny. There is no subject where funny doesn”t exist."
Williams is bouncing back from a Nov. 6 arrest at the Los Angeles International
Airport, for allegedly carrying a stolen, concealed weapon. In Dec. 2006, Williams
was sentenced to three years probation, after pleading no contest to a misdemeanor
firearm charge.
The comedian is now in high gear, as he prepares a variety of upcoming movie
projects. His most recent success is a major role in the upcoming comedy film
Norbit, which features an award-winning, all-star cast that includes Eddie
Murphy, Cuba Gooding Jr., Eddie Griffin, Marlon Wayans, Thandie Newton and
Charlie Murphy. The comedian will also star in the upcoming Christmas
comedy Perfect Christmas [working title This Christmas], opposite Terrence
Howard, Queen Latifah, Morris Chestnut and Gabrielle Union.
Williams is also set to travel to Australia to begin work on another upcoming
comedy called Fools Gold. The Warner Bros. feature will star Kate Hudson
and Matthew McConaughey as a reunited couple who take part
in an adventurous international treasure hunt.
Despite the busy filmwork, fans of Williams will not see less of him on the
small screen. The comedian will star in Nick Cannon Presents: Short Circuitz,
a new MTV half-hour series featuring sketches, impersonations, parodies and
other comedic elements. "It”s the best I ever feel when I”m on stage, putting
the thoughts from my head into those of an audience," Williams said. "Applause
is my drug of choice."
