Katt Williams was not burglarizing anyone and his arrest for same is totally bogus -- according to Katt's lawyer.
William Briggs told TMZ Katt was in Georgia shooting a movie, staying at the property of a friend and the movie's producer, Barry Hankerson.
Briggs says the reason his client was busted is because he was involved in a dispute with one of Barry's employees who lives in the guesthouse. The vengeful employee called the cops and reported a faux burglary, Briggs says. Briggs adds Katt had "full permission" to be on the property and has been staying there for the last 3 weeks.
Katt is still in custody. There's a bail hearing set for 4 PM ET.
UPDATE: Katt's bond was set at $41,150.

Before cops showed up at Paris Hilton's home last night, she once again trashed the people who broke into it.
Outside Philippe, Paris tore into the Burglar Bunch -- who allegedly stole $2 million worth of property from her -- calling them "dirty rotten thieves" and "scumbags" who deserve 10 years in the slammer.
As we previously reported, several of the suspects have had run-ins with the law before -- and if they're found guilty, they could be S.O.L.

Hate is a strong word -- but according to Paris Hilton, the word perfectly describes the way she feels about the members of the Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch who allegedly stole more than $2 million worth of her jewelry.
We got the iced up heiress last night at Mr. Chow, where she was spewing "hate" towards the merry band of jewelry snatchers.
Fellow target Audrina Patridge was out too, saying "They're going to have to face the consequences" -- which right now amounts to a helluva lot of felony charges.

In what may be considered one of the dumbest displays of wealth of all time, Soulja Boy just showed the entire planet that he keeps tens of thousands of dollars in an unprotected shoe box in his apartment.
Oh yeah -- did we mention he was just robbed back in December?
SB just posted the arrogant rant on his Twitter page, in response to the story we ran yesterday -- that the rapper's landlord accused him of owing nearly $10,000 in unpaid bills.
So, feeling the need to prove his worth, Soulja whipped out a cache of cheesy-but-expensive jewelry and wads upon wads of $100 bills while one of his friends gave the following play-by-play: "wow .... wow ... wow ... wow."
Hopefully, SB takes a few of those unprotected bills and invests in a bodyguard.

Every potential NBA draftee wants to look their best on draft night, but a jewelry company in L.A. claims Memphis Grizzlies star O.J. Mayo wore a ton of ice he never paid for.
According to a lawsuit filed Thursday, O.J. asked Prime Mountings to make a series of jewelry items, some of which he intended to wear to the NBA Draft. Prime says O.J. took the items promising to pay when he signed his first NBA contract -- and also promised he would "be purchasing a lot more jewelry ... in the future."
But alas, Prime claims O.J. never delivered on his promise and, in fact, never paid him the nearly $150K he owed them in the first place.
They are looking for the money they say they're owed, plus additional damages.

The day after jewel thieves scored a $500,000 hit at his Hollywood Hills home, Orlando Bloom returned to L.A. to assess the damage.
Just after landing at LAX yesterday afternoon, Orlando said all things considered, he's a pretty lucky fellow.
It's good to be rich, isn't it?

Just because $500,000 worth of jewelry went missing from Lindsay Lohan's photo shoot with ELLE magazine doesn't mean the people at ELLE think she's a thief -- even if Scotland Yard is investigating her.
A spokeswoman for ELLE gave us this statement:
"I can confirm on behalf of ELLE magazine that items of jewelry went missing from an ELLE photo shoot two weeks ago and the matter is now being investigated by the police. ELLE has no reason to believe that Lindsay Lohan was in any way responsible and has no further comment to make."

Rihanna's jewelry is going to be free!
As you probably know, she was wearing $1.4 mil in borrowed jewelry when she was allegedly beaten by Chris Brown. She was supposed to give it back to the jeweler a while back -- but it's been held by the cops since Brown's arrest.
Today the judge ruled the jewels can go back to their rightful owner. The LAPD will take photos of the bling in case it's used as evidence in the trial. But expect a plea bargain.
Brown's lawyer, Mark Geragos, also asked the judge to order the LAPD to turn over the investigative reports on the leaked photo.

Our sources say tomorrow's Chris Brown hearing will not end with a plea bargain, although we know both sides are deep in discussion. But it looks like Rihanna could score something big.
Rihanna's lawyer is asking the judge to release the jewelry Rihanna was wearing when she was beaten. The jewelry was taken as evidence just after the beating and she wants it back -- it was on loan from jewelers and they either want her to fork it over or pay $1.4 mil.
We're told the cops would like to return it as well. There are reports the D.A. is objecting to returning it --
reportedly for leverage so Rihanna will cooperate. But our sources say the D.A. has not taken a position.
Rihanna's lawyer and Brown's lawyer want to take photos of the jewelry and use them if the jewelry ever becomes evidence in a trial. But legally, her lawyer doesn't have authority to appear in Brown's case -- in legalese her lawyer doesn't have "standing." So the judge could simply refuse to hear Rihanna's lawyer.
Will the judge release the hostage jewelry? Stay tuned! Hearing is tomorrow.

Rihanna lost more than her innocence the night she was allegedly beat up by Chris Brown -- she's also out $1.4 million in jewelry.
RiRi is asking the cops to hand back a pair of earrings and three rings the cops logged as evidence on the night in question. And get this -- the jewelry isn't even hers. According to docs, the bling belonged to four companies which loaned it to her for the pre-Grammy party she attended with Brown that night.
Rihanna's attorney, Donald Etra, claims he asked for the jewelry back earlier this month and submitted written requests on April 7 and April 17. Etra also claims that Brown's attorney, Mark Geragos, has no problem with the jewelry being released.
The earrings are described as yellow metal hoop earrings with white stones. The first ring is a yellow metal ring with white stones and green stones. The second and third rings are described as being yellow metal rings with white stones.
Brown faces a felony assault charge and a charge of making criminal threats.

Perhaps double checking her ring size in case someone wants to buy her a ring, Jessica Biel hit up a jewelry store in L.A. yesterday -- without significant other Justin Timberlake.
If only wishing made it so ...

A frail but still beautiful Dame Elizabeth Taylor, 75, blinged away as she was wheeled out of Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills on Saturday, after a dinner celebrating the launch of her latest line of House of Taylor jewelry. Wear me!
Liz's jewelry line raked in a reported $30 mil last year. In 1997, she had a two-inch tumor removed from her brain, and endured hip and back operations the following year, after which she fell and fractured her spine.

British actor Orlando Bloom was scheduled to attend a "Breaking the Ice" charity benefit in L.A. today, but after Thursday night's accident, it's unknown if he will show up.
The event is set up by the Sea Shepard Conservation Society -- started by Greenpeace co-founder Captain Paul Watson -- to "end the destruction of habitat and slaughter of wildlife in the world's oceans." The event includes an auction of two exclusive jewelry designs by North Carolina-based Catherine Original.
Orlando -- along with Naomi Watts, Uma Thurman, and other stars -- are Sea Shepard Honorary Committee members.

There have been reports that Britney Spears has been wearing her wedding ring again, as she was seen wearing a ring last night as she stepped out of rehab to attend an AA meeting -- but TMZ assures you, the reports are false!
TMZ found a picture of the pop princess wearing her wedding ring and compared it to yesterday's ring. While the rings appear similar in style with three separations, last night's bling bling was a single divided band, while her wedding set is comprised of three distinctly separate rings.
Sorry, K-Fed!
