Katt Williams is on a Bonnie and Clyde style crime spree ... if you believe the 5 women who've now come forward claiming he and his crew held them at gunpoint.

The women say they ran into Katt and his 15-person entourage Sunday morning at 2:30 in downtown Atlanta. They say they noticed the comedian and asked for a photo, but when Williams noticed one of them was recording video ... he allegedly lost it.

The women say he punched one of them -- which started an all out brawl, until Williams took out a gun and pointed it at them. They claim he and his entourage took all their phones. One woman says she managed to grab a phone from their car ... and dialed 911.

When cops arrived Katt told officers a different story. He claims the women were harassing him, and one of them tried to snatch a chain from his neck ... and that's when he punched in self-defense. He does admit taking out a gun, but only because he heard one of the women mention a gun.

In the end, police made no arrests because there were no independent witnesses and no injuries -- but they are continuing to investigate.

As we've reported ... Katt was arrested the next day in an Atlanta suburb for allegedly punching an employee in a pool supply store.

The 5 women have lawyered up.

NY Yankees pitcher Aroldis Chapman has been suspended 30 games for his role in an alleged domestic violence incident involving his GF ... and will lose roughly $1.7 MILLION in salary.

As we previously reported, Chapman's girlfriend claimed he pushed and choked her during an argument back in October ... then went to the garage and fired several shots into the wall.

Chapman denied wrongdoing (though admitted to "poking her" in the shoulder) -- and was NOT charged with a crime ... but the MLB decided there was enough evidence to punish Chapman under the league's domestic violence policy.

Chapman issued a statement saying, "Today, I accepted a 30 game suspension from Major League Baseball resulting from my actions on October 30, 2015."

"I want to be clear, I did not in any way harm my girlfriend that evening. However, I should have exercised better judgment with respect to certain actions, and for that I am sorry."

"The decision to accept a suspension, as opposed to appealing one, was made after careful consideration."

"I made this decision in an effort to minimize the distractions that an appeal would cause the Yankees, my new teammates and most importantly, my family. I have learned from this matter, and I look forward to being part of the Yankees’ quest for a 28th World Series title."

A former UFC fighter and his son were both shot during an armed robbery in Oklahoma Monday night outside of the gym where they were working out ... but both men are expected to survive.

Mikey Burnett -- who last fought for the UFC in 1999 -- was leaving the gym around 7:30 PM when he was approached by two men ... at least one of whom was armed.

Officials say Mikey's 18-year-old son saw the robbery and tried to fight off one of the robbers -- during the struggle, Mikey was shot multiple times in the abdomen. His son, Freddie, was shot in the leg.

Cops say the suspects ran off and fled in a nearby vehicle.

No arrests have been made -- but officials say there is a ton of security footage and a bunch of witnesses.

Mikey has undergone surgery and is expected to recover.

Chris Paul has something in common with Floyd Mayweather -- they both LOVE Justin Bieber ... and considers his friendship nothing short of a "blessing."

Paul opened up about his relationship with the singer to For the Win -- when he was asked if his 6-year-old son, Chris, had an influence on his playlist.

"A lot. It’s funny my son’s favorite artist is Justin Bieber and it’s been that way for awhile. I feel so blessed and fortunate to know Justin and Scooter Braun, who works with Justin."

CP3 then goes on to explain how they became friends ...

"When little Chris was about two years old, Justin came to a game and little Chris sat with him and then I took him to a concert and now anytime we go to the bus stop [we listen to] Bieber. If it’s not ‘Austin and Ally’ then it’s Justin Bieber all day.”

So, what's his favorite Bieber hit?

Caitlyn Jenner is officially a makeup queen ... she's going into business with MAC Cosmetics.

The makeup giant is releasing a limited edition lipstick created by Caitlyn. The signature color will be called "Finally Free."

Revenue from the lipstick sales will benefit the MAC AIDS Fund Transgender Initiative.

Caitlyn joins some other heavy hitter celeb chicks -- Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Lady Gaga and Pamela Anderson ... have all released their own signature colors of lipstick or lip gloss.

Story developing ...

Oprah Winfrey took a very unwanted bath after Weight Watchers stock took a huge hit.

WW shares dropped a whopping 20 percent when the company reported a 21 percent drop in fourth-quarter net revenue -- which means O's bank account is about 24 million bucks lighter today.

Cry not for Oprah -- she's still reportedly cleared nearly $75 million since buying a 10-percent stake in the company and joining its board. The stock doubled the day her deal was announced ... but it's looking more like your typical yo-yo dieter now.

Soulja Boy and his posse started their day with drugs and guns and even flaunted it on the Internet ... which ain't the smartest move for a guy on probation.

Soulja posted several videos bragging about a wake and bake session at his house, but the one where his pal is waving high-powered handgun with an extended clip ... could get someone in big trouble.

Check out the video -- Soulja's sitting on the kitchen counter smoking while another guy stands behind him waving the weapon. SB lives in L.A., and in Cali it's illegal to buy a large capacity magazine (defined as more than 10 rounds).

Plus, Soulja is on probation for a weapons charge from 2014, so ... he's flirting with a violation.

The family of the "COPS" cameraman who was killed on the job is suing the city of Omaha for wrongful death.

Bryce Dion was part of the crew trailing Omaha PD officers in August 2014 when they responded to an armed robbery in a Wendy's. Dion was killed by friendly fire ... an officer firing back at the suspect accidentally shot Dion.

Dave Domina, the attorney for Bryce's family, says ... "I don't think Bryce Dion signed up for the risk of being shot by a police officer."

In the suit, the family says police were negligent because they didn't give Bryce adequate training, supervision or protection.

Three Omaha officers involved in the shooting have already been cleared of criminal wrongdoing.

Elvis Presley's longtime doctor -- who stood trial for over-prescribing Presley -- died in Memphis on Wednesday at the age of 88.

Dr. George Nichopoulos was infamously known to Elvis fans as "Dr. Nick" and much like Conrad Murray after Michael Jackson's death -- he came under heavy scrutiny when the king of rock 'n' roll died.

Dr. Nick traveled with Elvis as part of his entourage, but after Presley died in 1977 ... the doc faced criminal charges for negligently dishing drugs to Elvis. Unlike Murray, he was acquitted in 1981.

He did eventually lose his medical license for over-prescribing addictive drugs to several patients, including Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis -- but remained adamant all the meds he gave Elvis "were necessities."

Marshawn Lynch isn't done with football yet ... Beast Mode has just announced he's bringing his talents to EGYPT.

The running back is part of a 10 person team that will fly to Cairo next week to participate in the 4th annual American Football Without Barriers camp.

Long story short ... Lynch -- along with guys like Browns tight end Gary Barnidge, Steelers RB DeAngelo Williams and Dolphins TE Jordan Cameron -- will teach Egyptian youth about football.

Organizers say the group is working with the Egyptian Federation of American Football (who knew that was even a thing?) ... and interact with more than 450 players and football enthusiasts.

The guys will also visit a children's cancer hospital.

President Barack Obama sent a touching note to a former teacher, wishing him a happy 80th birthday, and the teacher was so moved ... he's unloading it for big money.

The birthday note was sent last year to Obama's prep school teacher at Punahou School in Hawaii named Bill, and in it he said he was "grateful for educators like you that made such a difference in the lives of so many young people -- including me."

Touching, right? It's even on White House stationery.

Well, ole Bill's now hawking the keepsake through autograph dealer Moments in Time. It's going for $12,500 right now ... as the NY Post reported.

Major League Baseball just sent an interesting message to Jose Reyes -- stay away from the team while your domestic violence case is pending ... but don't worry, we'll still pay you.

Reyes has been accused of grabbing his wife by the throat and slamming her into a glass door during a Hawaiian vacation back in October.

Reyes was arrested -- and the trial begins in April.

So, what is MLB to do?

On Tuesday, Commish Rob Manfred gave the orders to put Reyes on paid leave until the case is resolved.

If Reyes is convicted, we're guessing the gravy train comes to an end -- and if he's exonerated, Reyes should be back in uniform without any damage to his bank account.

"The Commissioner's Office will have no further comment on this matter until a final disposition is announced."

NY Yankees fireballer Aroldis Chapman has finally broken his silence about the domestic violence investigation involving his girlfriend -- saying bluntly, "I never hurt anybody. Never in my life."

The investigation began back in October ... when Chapman's GF told police he choked and pushed her during an argument over his cell phone.

According to officials, Chapman told investigators he did NOT punch his GF -- but rather "poked her on the left shoulder and told her not to talk to him like that."

But earlier Wednesday at the Yankees' clubhouse at spring training in Tampa -- Chapman said any insinuation that he's a woman-abuser is flat out wrong.

"That's not my character or the person I am."

Former Tennessee Titans linebacker Keith Bulluck was arrested for DUI in Nashville early Tuesday morning -- after cops say the ex-Pro Bowler crashed his car into a light pole.

Cops say they responded to the accident around 3 AM -- and when they arrived to the scene, Bulluck had a "distinct smell of an alcoholic beverage."

According to police, Bulluck also admitted he had been drinking earlier in the night and was driving home from a place called Losers Bar.

Cops say the 38-year-old refused to give a blood sample to test for his alcohol level.

No word if Bulluck was injured in the crash.

With Rafael dos Anjos pulling out of his big fight with Conor McGregor at UFC 196 -- Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone is throwing his Stetson in the ring to take Raf's place.

RDA suffered a broken foot during a training session -- leaving the UFC scrambling to find a suitable replacement for Conor for the March 5th fight ... one of the biggest UFC events of the year.

Now, Cerrone says he's game ... with Cowboy's manager Josh Jones telling FOX Sports they've already reached out to the UFC saying he's down to fight.

So far, no official decision has been made -- but it's gotta happen fast ... so stay tuned.

Dr. Luke is blasting Kesha, her lawyer and maybe even Taylor Swift ... unleashing for the first time about Kesha's rape allegations.

Luke says, "I didn't rape Kesha and I have never had sex with her. Kesha and I were friends for many years and she was like my little sister." He also seems to be addressing celebs like Taylor publicly coming to Kesha's defense -- "I understand why people without all the information are speaking out. I can appreciate their compassion."

In a Twitter rant that went on for more than 30 minutes ... Luke also got personal with Kesha's attorney, saying ... "Mark Geragos represented Scott Peterson and Chris Brown. How can he pretend he cares about women's rights?"

Luke is reposting several web articles about the case ... including a TMZ post regarding Kesha's testimony in which she said Luke never drugged her and they never had an "intimate relationship."
