Katt Williams I'm UNRETIRED!!!
Just like Michael Jordan, Jay-Z, Evander Holyfield and Brett Favre ... comedian Katt Williams is officially UNRETIRING ... just four days after retiring.
Earlier this week, a very emotional Katt announced his retirement on a street corner in Seattle ... insisting that he was, "kinda done."
But now, Katt's management team says he's undone ... telling us, "Katt is definitely NOT retiring. He will be moving forward with the tour ... Friday is Texas, Saturday New Orleans, and on to Alabama."
Management adds, "The reason why he made remarks was due to him feeling totally disrespected by all the things that happen to him in the city of Seattle. He had a moment where he felt very unappreciated. He now just wants to move forward from those unfortunate events and give his fans outstanding shows from this point forward."
Katt has also not retired from dealing with court ... TMZ has learned Williams was just charged with 2 counts of 4th degree misdemeanor assault in Seattle stemming from a bar fight this past weekend.
As we reported, Katt was arrested Sunday after allegedly threatening the bar manager with a pool cue and refusing to leave the establishment ... then later throwing a cigarette at a woman's eye.
Police claim Katt also threw a rock at the woman's car as she left.
Of course, this is just one incident in Katt's long string of bizarre behavior recently, including slapping a Target employee and leading Sacramento police on a wild three-wheeled motorcycle chase.

Emile Hirsch Pees In Front of Nightclub
With a functioning bathroom just feet away, "Savages" star Emile Hirsch relieved himself outside a West Hollywood nightclub last night ... surrounded by strangers ... directly onto an innocent cactus.
AND HIS FACE IS PRICELESS.
Hirsch was outside Bootsy Bellows nightclub on the famous Sunset Strip -- along with his trusty red Solo cup -- when nature called ... and clearly ... the guy didn't feel like waiting in line to use the club's restroom. (It happens to the best of us.)
We're told the cactus is refusing to press charges.

'Honey Boo Boo' Star to Cops GIVE ME BACK MY GORILLA SUIT!!!
No, it's not Bigfoot -- it's the gorilla suit confiscated by police last month following a dangerous prank involving "Honey Boo Boo" star "Crazy" Tony Lindsey ... and now, Tony's demanding the suit back, insisting cops are overreacting about the whole thing.
TMZ broke the story ... Lindsey was arrested last month for taking part in a prank that involved a man scaring traffic alongside a Georgia highway ... in a gorilla suit.
Lindsey wasn't wearing the suit, but cops arrested him anyway for taking part in the stunt -- along with the other adults involved. Meanwhile, the gorilla suit was booked into evidence while police investigate the incident.
But Lindsey -- who loves the suit and uses it often to scare his buddies -- is pissed, telling TMZ, "It's wrong of them to keep my gorilla suit ... they're treating me like I killed somebody!"
Lindsey adds, the arresting officer "could have just told us all to knock it off and go home."
TMZ spoke with the Wilkinson County DA, who says the suit is part of an ongoing investigation and it can’t be released from evidence until the case is closed.

'Celeb Rehab' Star Cheating Drug Tests with Bogus Urine
"Celebrity Rehab" star Kari Ann Peniche is once again in danger of losing custody of her child ... after new evidence surfaced which shows she's ordering urine off the Internet and injecting it into her own genitalia in order to pass drug tests.
TMZ has learned ... Peniche's friend filed a declaration in which he claims he accompanied the former Miss United States Teen winner to a drug-testing facility in July and witnessed her injecting the urine into her genital area ... so she would "secrete the purchased urine" in the event a staffer at the facility followed her into the bathroom.
In August, Lee claims Peniche also confessed to paying off facility staffers in exchange for clean urine samples.
Lee says he witnessed Peniche using meth as recently as September -- despite having 50% custody of her 1-year-old son.
In light of the new evidence, the judge in the custody case found that Peniche poses a danger to the child ... and ruled that she cannot visit her son without a monitor until she takes two clean tests.
So far, the judge has yet to rule on the baby daddy's bid for sole custody.
6:28 AM PT -- Peniche's rep tells us ... "Kari Ann adamantly denies any and all negative allegations that have been made against her in her case. There has not been any evidence to establish that Kari Ann has, at any time, placed her son in harm’s way."
The rep adds, "Kari Ann has been a competent, caring and loving mother and will continue to do all that she lawfully can do to protect the health, safety and welfare of her son."

Nick Gordon Arrest Footage [VIDEO] BLASTING Whitney Music
Bobbi Kristina's boyfriend Nick Gordon was listening to the Whitney Houston classic "I Will Always Love You" at FULL BLAST when police pulled him over for reckless driving -- and TMZ has obtained the dash cam footage of his arrest.
In the video, Gordon tells the police officer he keeps a 9mm gun in his glove box. The cop checks it out after putting Gordon in his cruiser, and based on the video, it appears the gun is legit.
We broke the story ... Nick was popped in Alpharetta, Georgia last week just after cops say he was going 82 mph in a 35 mph zone near a pedestrian-jammed shopping area.
You can see in the video, Gordon was driving a Chevy Camaro -- the same kind of car BK was driving when she crashed into an embankment hours before Nick was arrested.
Nick was cited for reckless driving and speeding. He's due back in court in February.

DMX X-MAS Carol Freestyle ... It's Rudolph Time, B*tches
It's that time of year again ... when Christmas songs hijack your favorite radio stations ... but this year, things are a little different -- BECAUSE DMX HAS REMIXED 'RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER'!!!!!!!!
We were skeptical at first too -- but you gotta see the clip ... because somehow, it's exactly how you'd imagine a DMX remix of "Rudolph" would sound.
We're actually impressed because X remembers ALL the reindeers' names off the top of his head -- and everyone knows that's impossible.
Merry DMX-Mas.

Tyga I Had It EASY Growing Up ... My Mom Drove a Range
Rapper Tyga enjoyed a cushy upbringing in the Valley -- NOT Compton -- at least that's what the rapper said on a game show back in 2008 ... and TMZ has obtained the unaired footage.
The show was called "Bustas" -- where wannabe-rappers compete against each other to see who can embody ugly rap stereotypes the best ... playing borderline-offensive games like "Guess the Rapper By His Grill" and "Is This a Real Rolex?"
Tyga appeared on the show ... and immediately sacrificed any semblance of street cred in the process ... claiming he grew up in a well-to-do household in the Valley, and his parents drove a Range Rover.
But Tyga -- who has since claimed he grew up in Compton -- insisted, "I'm still street."
Thankfully for Tyga, the show was never picked up and the clip never made it to air ... until now.
The highlight: "Bustas" culminates with a freestyle rap, in which the contestants are asked to incorporate buzz words like "amoeba" into their raps, and Tyga's so bad ... he gets his ass boo'd off stage. (For the record, Tyga does not know how to pronounce the word "amoeba")
It's pretty bad -- but you should check out the video to see if Tyga actually loses the entire show.

'Shahs Of Sunset' Slammed by Hot Model ... I'm the Real 'Persian Barbie'
There can only be one "PERSIAN BARBIE" ... so says a smokin' hot model who claims Bravo's show "Shahs of Sunset" is illegally using HER moniker for one of their cast members.
Niki Ghazian (left) -- FHM model and self-proclaimed "Persian Barbie" -- fired off a cease and desist letter last week to Bravo honchos ... claiming the network has no right to use the term for its newest star Lilly Ghalichi (right).
FYI -- Lilly's co-stars refer to her as the "Persian Barbie" on the show ... which Bravo has utilized in promos and on Lilly's official bio.
Niki says that's not okay -- and while she never applied for a trademark, she says she's the "common law owner" ... claiming ever since 2005, publications like FHM, Kandy Mag, NYLA Mag and more have used it to describe her.
Niki is demanding Bravo stop using the term ASAP -- and remove it from their ads, website and any other press releases ... or else.

Katt Williams Slaps Target Employee IN THE FACE [VIDEO]
What did the 5 fingers say to the face? Ask the guy who got PIMP SLAPPED by Katt Williams.
Katt wasn't done after leading cops on a crazy three-wheeled chase through Sacramento on Sunday -- because moments later, he hit up a Target ... where he belted an employee IN THE FACE ... and TMZ has footage of the face-to-hand contact.
There's no audio, so we can't tell what the argument is about -- but by the looks of the employee's body language before the wallop (placing his hand on his chest) the guy wasn't looking for a fight.
Then out of nowhere Katt winds up and slaps him in the face -- at which point the employee pulls out his phone and, according to an eye witness, he calls police.
Video of the aftermath surfaced on the Internet this week, showing Katt making his getaway in an electric cart ... before police arrive. We hate to say it, but it's hilarious.
According to sources at the store, Katt then ditched the electric cart and got back on his three-wheeled motorcycle. He was not arrested.
We spoke to a rep for the Yolo County DA's office, who tells TMZ, the case is currently under review ... and charges have not yet been filed against the comedian.
So far, no word from Target or Katt's people.

Angelina from 'Jersey Shore' Rejected By Gloria Allred
Legal powerhouse Gloria Allred loves to take on FAMOUS clients ... so when former "Jersey Shore" star Angelina Pivarnick reached out to hire the famous attorney to sue MTV ... SHE SAID NO.
Our sources tell us, Angelina has a pretty big bone to pick with the network -- claiming she's been blacklisted from other jobs and it's all their fault. Specifically, we're told Angelina feels the network edits her appearances on "Shore" to make her look bad and has publicly humiliated her by rejecting her from MTV events.
We're told Angelina now wants to file a defamation lawsuit and reached out to Gloria first.
But the famous attorney -- who has taken on high-profile clients like Scary Spice, Rachel Uchitel and Anthony Weiner's mistress -- wanted no part of her case.
We're told Gloria's office sent Angelina a letter saying that Gloria's current work load is just too damn big to fit her in.
Not to worry ... we hear Larry H. Parker is available.

Neighbors to 'Glee' Star: Get Your Damn Car Off the Sidewalk!!!
Heather Morris' neighbors are about to put together their own rendition of the classic Ludacris song "Move Bitch" ... because the "Glee" star keeps parking her car on the sidewalk in front of her L.A. apartment building and it's DRIVING THEM CRAZY.
TMZ obtained a few pics of Heather's Prius parked right up on the curb, blocking the entrance to her apartment building.
We're told Morris does have a parking spot in the building, but chooses to park her car there anyway ... simply because it's easier.
Heather isn't getting away with the renegade parking job scott free -- records show she got five parking tickets in the month of August alone ... but it hasn't detoured the actress.
We reached out to Morris for comment -- so far, no word back.
