![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
Unlike the dummies he sticks his hands inside, comedian/ventriloquist Jeff Dunham is accused of being full of crap -- because a production company is suing him for allegedly being a big, fat liar.
A company called Montivagus claims they approached Jeff in 2006 to appear in a ventriloquism documentary they were making called "I'm No Dummy."
Montivagus claims after they filmed Jeff for the doc, he signed releases giving the company full rights to all aspects of the movie, including distribution.
The company claims Jeff suddenly backed out of their agreement in 2009 ... after Jeff realized he may have "violated other legal obligations" by signing the release -- especially ones he had with Comedy Central.
Montivagus says Jeff's new demands were for "full distribution rights to the Documentary" -- among a bunch of other stuff.
Jeff is being sued for an amount yet to be determined.

I hate to be to critical here, but why doesn't Mike's mom have any money? I am sure Mike was very generous with her. Why isn't her house paid for. Michael made more than enough money over the years to have paid it off, free and clear. With the kind of payment she has she must have borrowed against it. Now you can see why Mike put somone else in charge of his money to make sure the kids would have some when they needed it. Good move Judge to leave the men in charge of the estate in charge.
TMZ, you make me sick. You ought to be called Liberal Zone for your disgusting hatred for all things conservative. The only reason you can't stand this unknown artist is because he is CONSERVATIVE. Why don't you just stick to all things homosexual and NY people who are not real celebs?!
i agree, it shouldnt take three years to make the doc, and why are they just now trying to publish it? They know the man made more than 30 million last year and they just want money. no one has ever really heard of this company, so they figure sure him make money and get our name out there. people are relentless and stupis
****is this guy jeff embarrassed by the fact that TERRY FATOR got a 200 mil contract in Vegas right off the bat after winning and he(jeff) has been around and still only doing small places, he moves his lips he is not that talented at being a ventriloquist, terry has way more talent, he does not move his lips and can sing like crazy with out moving his lips to.
This is for comment #11, You are HIGHLARIOUS!! "mad cause he's playing small venues" ha ha ha!! Jeff Dunham sells out the arenas like the Staples Center constantly. And now he's got his own TV show coming out. I don't know who your guy is but he ain't got nothing on Jeff.
