Katt Williams was involved in a couple of strange incidents earlier this week.
On Monday the comedian was driving his Rolls-Royce on the Pacific Coast Highway in California when a beat up Honda full of people pulled alongside him and started "talking sh*t and trying to start a fight," according to TMZ.
The vehicle swerved in front of him. Katt hit the brakes, but was unable to avoid rear ending the Honda. Police were called to the scene. The driver of the Honda told them Katt was speeding and was transported to the hospital complaining of back pain.
Cops didn't believe the driver's story. Katt thinks the was looking for an easy payday.
On Tuesday Katt was once again on the Pacific Coast Highway near Malibu when his bodyguard had to use his taser on a man.
Katt claims a racist man flicked him off, then flashed a badge. After pulling over Katt says he discovered the man was actually a lifeguard with a fake badge.
"This racist lifeguard called me the n-word twice," Katt told TMZ. "He pulled out the badge first and made us pull over. We thought he was a cop, then he gets out with no shirt on and red swim trunks."
Katt says his bodyguard had to taser the man after he aggressively approached them. Cops responded to the scene after the man waved them down and tells them he was attacked by three black guys for no apparent reason.
Sheriff's deputies questioned Katt and the bodyguard and decided not to arrest anyone.

25-year old super producer Mike Will Made It and Miley Cyrus have been secretly dating for the last nine months, according to a new report published by US Weekly.
Rumors that the two were seeing each other began after Mike produced Miley's last album, Bangerz.
Jack Thriller of Thisis50 asked Mike directly if he was seeing the former Hannah Montana star during an October 2013 interview.
"Nah man, we just working. I just executive produced her album," Mike said at the time. "I got eight songs on her album."
However, the following month Mike went to see the 21-year old singer perform at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas. The two were photographed backstage after the show looking more like a couple than business associates.
"Everybody in her circle knows they've been together this whole time," a source told US Weekly. "[They] talk and text all day, every day,"
The report states that the two "all over each other" at a BET Awards party on June 28.

The source goes on to say that the couple have become "pretty serious" and Miley's mom, Tish Cyrus, now considers Mike to be "part of the family."

Millions of people can empathize with Robin Thicke as he tries to get his wife Paula Patton to give their relationship another try. That might also be the reason why not many fans have picked up his new album dedicated entirely to his estranged partner.
People generally don't want to dwell on loves they've lost.
First week sales in the U.S. of the Interscope Records distributed Paula are expected to come in at 25,000. His previous project, Blurred Lines, moved 177,000 units during it's initial week in stores. The Guardian reports that that the U.S. figures look great compared to the U.K. charts where the album with debut at No. 200 with only 530 copies sold.
Hopefully Robin patches things up with his wife and gets back to making hit records like we know he can.

Chauncey Mahan refuses to go quietly into the night and is preparing to take Roc Nation to court. As we reported back in April, Mahan, a former Roc-A-Fella Records engineer was accused by Jay Z of trying to extort his company after he attempted to sell master recordings of Roc-A-Fella music to Hov's business partners at Live Nation.
Mahan told LN they could either buy the masters for $100,000 or he would put them up for auction. LN agreed to pay $75,000 and arranged to meet Mahan at his Northridge, California storage facility, where the masters were being stored.
The company got the police involved and when Mahan showed up to complete the transaction he was met by authorities.
Mahan agreed to be taken in for questioning and allowed the LAPD to hold onto the recordings until a judge could decide who the rightful owner was.
Jay Z's lawyers filed a grand larceny complaint. Because Live Nation is based in Beverly Hills, California, the police department there began investigating extortion allegations.
Jay eventually dropped the extortion complaint, but Mahan was not satisfied. TMZ obtained a new lawsuit filed by Mahan. In it he claims to have been an integral part of creating part of Roc-A-Fella's catalog from between 1999-2000.
Mahan's argument is that he was one of the first practioners of Pro Tools audio software and played a huge part in the recording of six albums, including The Dynasty: Roc La Familia and The Life and Times of S. Carter.
He wants a judge to declare that he is a co-owner of the copyrights and should be given back the masters.

Bobby Brown's personal trainer probably got fired last week because the 45-year old R&B singer couldn't make it through a New Edition concert in Mississippi.
The "My Prerogative" hit maker knew the moves as the group sang "If It Isn't Love," but he couldn't execute them. At one point he stops dancing and puts his hands on his knees. He starts dancing again a few seconds later before giving up and exiting the stage.
The rest of the group members didn't miss a beat and continued their performance.

There is trouble brewing within the Maybach Music Group camp. Meek Mill let it be known today via Twitter that he has issues with certain people on the team, in particular Wale.
Meek announced the release date of his Dreams Worth More Than Money album yesterday and apparently Wale didn't publicly or privately acknowledge it. It was enough to set the Dream Chasers Records CEO off. He rips his label mate in a rant that it seems like he's been holding in for a while. Check it out below.
This is going to get very interesting.
**UPDATE**
Wale has responded via Instagram. He posted a photo that he says he put up several weeks ago in support of Meek's new single "I Don't Know (Suicidal)." He then goes on to give his side of the story.
Few weeks ago. (7w) I posted this .but ok. Movin along . My Avi always changed when it's THAT time .. Ok that's not enough y'all see "razor ramon " post on his no. But I don't care.. I wrote a long ass post day before his single dropped .. Mariah record dropped nobody said a word I didn't care .. I still don't... I carry myself with confidence and humility ., I always try to have a lighter side to MMG.. Cuz I understand I don't "fit the mold" so if I'm tryna spruce an interview up to show that we not tryn be "serious tough guys" on the red carpet Or try to be a bit more engaging to broaden our audience forgive me . I never wanted anybody to think we take ourselves THAT serious. (Were rappers )I don't need to take anybody shine.. Or hate on anybody . I walk in a completely different world .. Where I look for slp jeans and Shanghai dunks online and know what "kayfabe" means. I check nbadraft.net daily . I'm on whatculture allll day I enjoy shyt like that. I play fuckin Zelda and fuck wit bitches who teach yoga and paint... I get it . I'm different . I always embrace that shyt.. I encourage y'all to embrace what y'all like or the person y'all wanna be.. I text niggas happy Father's Day and get no reply .. I laugh it off .. I laugh at how I write songs about "chain music" and y'all get lost or "600benzz" i like to have fun with our culture. Because I beleive I add THAT to a "gangster rap" faction. I made my opportunity work for me that way. I write poems . I watch wwe . I collect kicks. I'm sensitive ok. Maybe bi polar. But one thjng I'm not is a hater.. I see Daquan jokes all day yesterday and patted myself on the back that I'm regarded as the aforementioned adjectives and not "Daquan". I'm me and I'll be me and do this shyt wit my "dew" till I don't wanna do it. I encourage you to wake up soon as you find time. This was a post about nothin.
