Million-Dollar Meltdown

In the current issue of Newsweek, we find out that Dave Chappelle is having a nice little million-dollar meltdown. It seems he can't cope with his own success, and is afraid the third season won't live up to the hype. That fat advance of $50 million is a pretty nice safety blanket (while it lasts). Expect a lawsuit any day now.

""I saw him start trippin' when the buzz started to get real loud," one unnamed friend tells Newsweek. "I think he was in shock after the first season. Then during the second season, it hit him that he was the Man. That freaked him." And then came the pressure of living up to expectations for the third season. He's never been there--where something's so good and you got to come even stronger the next time. It was too much.""

On a somewhat related sidenote, the next person who quotes "I'm Rick James, Bitch" should get a foot lodged deep in their ass. You're not being cool by quoting it. Only Chappelle can do it, not you. So stop thinking you are unique by saying it in a social situation.
