BENCH WARRANT ISSUED FOR KATT WILLIAMS

A bench warrant has been issued for Katt Williams for failing to show up in court. According to TMZ.com, a Sacramento judge has issued a bench warrant yesterday (January 7th) after the comedian failed to show up for his arraignment -- stemming from his arrest after a police chase back in November. He was charged with evading a police officer while driving in a reckless manner.

• This is the second bench warrant for the comedian in less than a month. Back in December, a Seattle judge called for Katt's arrest after he missed court for a bar fight.

YANDY SMITH SPEAKS ON NEW SEASON OF 'LOVE & HIP-HOP'

Yandy Smith revealed why she decided to include her boyfriend Mandeecees on the new season of Love & Hip-Hop. In an interview with Theybf.com, Yandy said that during the last season, she didn't want to show any part of her personal life, but had not choice but to include her man since she was 8 months pregnant when they started taping.

She also added, "I didn't want people...well, People assumed last season, and I realized, that because I didn't have a boyfriend on the show and it is Love & Hip Hop, people assumed that I was in love with Jim or wanted to be with him. It was so confusing and mind-boggling because we were so professional in real life and on the show and I couldn't understand why people thought that."

She continued, "I guess if they don't see you with anybody, they assume you're with nobody. Because I was coming home every night to Mandeecees so it's like, what are they talking about. Do they know what I got at home? I felt it was important to let people know, 'Let me check all yall that thought something differently, here it is.'"

• On why she chose to return for another season, she said, "...there was a lot of drama, but overall it was excellent for my brand. When I thought about the drama and how much I'm not drama filled, I was asking myself if this is something I really wanted to do. But when I thought about what it's done for my EGL brand, I was like 'why wouldn't I?'."
• Love & Hip-Hop airs on Mondays at 8pm on VH1.
