Chappelle admits he doesn’t know what next move will be

Cincinnati – Dave Chappelle, who walked away from his hit TV series earlier this year, said working in front of smaller audiences is more his speed.

Chappelle, who sold out 10 shows at a northern Kentucky club, said doing standup is “like I’m hanging out with a bunch of people.”

He played the Funny Bone Comedy Club last week, a 325-seat club.

The comedian stunned fans when he abruptly left during production of the third season of his Comedy Central series, “Chappelle’s Show.”

He spent two weeks in South Africa before returning home and then returned to standup comedy.

Chappelle has said he was unhappy with the direction of his show. His decision triggered reports that he had mental or drug problems, which he denied.

Chappelle said he wasn’t sure what’s ahead for him: “Wow. … That’s a good question. … Is ‘I don’t know’ an acceptable answer?”

Angelina Jolie proves she’s a proud mom of two

New York – Ask Angelina Jolie about her children and like any proud mother, she’ll brag about them.

“They give me so much joy, and I want to make a better world for them,” the Oscar-winning actress said in an interview that aired Tuesday on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

Jolie has a 4-year-old son, Maddox, who was adopted from Cambodia, and a daughter, Zahara, adopted this summer from Ethiopia.

When she brought Zahara home, “she was 6 months old and not 9 pounds,” Jolie said. “She’s like – she has gained 6 pounds. … We are calling her chubby.”

Jolie says Maddox loves being a big brother.

“He came to the orphanage. He saw where she was living, and he saw she needed care. Kids understand sadness and poverty and hunger.”

She appeared on the ABC morning show the day before a new MTV documentary chronicling her trip to a village in Kenya with U.N. adviser and economist Jeffrey Sachs was scheduled to premiere.

Report: Heidi Klum gives birth to healthy baby boy

Berlin – Heidi Klum has given birth to a healthy baby boy, a German tabloid reported Tuesday.

The baby was born late Monday, said the Cologne Express, quoting the 32-year-old German supermodel’s father and manager, Guenther Klum.

Guenther Klum wasn’t immediately available to confirm the report.

The baby is the first child for Klum and her husband, Grammy-winning singer Seal. Klum has a 16-month-old daughter, Leni, from her previous relationship with Formula One manager Flavio Briatore.

Judge freezes ‘Suge’ Knight’s assets on behalf of drug dealer

Los Angeles – A judge has frozen the assets of Marion “Suge” Knight in a ruling that favors an imprisoned drug dealer, who wants half of a $107 million court award to his wife.

Monterey County Superior Court Judge Adrienne M. Grover issued the ruling Aug. 29, the day after Knight was shot in the leg at an MTV awards pre-party in Miami Beach, Fla. He has been released from a hospital.

In March, a Los Angeles judge ordered Knight and his companies to pay $107 million to Lydia Harris, who claimed she helped start Death Row Records and was owed money from the recording label.

The judge made the decision after finding that Knight and his lawyers failed to answer questions and provide information in the case, which never reached trial.

Michael Harris, who is serving a 28-year sentence at San Quentin State Prison, argues that he’s entitled to half of his wife’s award.

Calls to Knight’s lawyer, Dermot Givens, and Lydia Harris’ lawyer, Richard Brover, weren’t immediately returned Monday.

Harris has claimed he put up $1.5 million from behind bars in 1991 to help start the record label – a contention Knight has repeatedly denied.

Former child star to receive Lifetime Achievement Award

Los Angeles – Shirley Temple Black, the curly haired moppet who sang “The Good Ship Lollipop” in the 1934 film “Bright Eyes,” will be honored by the Screen Actors Guild with its Life Achievement Award.

Black, 77, will receive the award during the 12th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards on Jan. 29. The Life Achievement Award is presented annually to an actor who fosters the “finest ideals of the acting profession.”

Black also has been U.S. ambassador to Ghana and the former Czechoslovakia.

“She has lived the most remarkable life, as the brilliant performer the world came to know when she was just a child, to the dedicated public servant who has served her country both at home and abroad for 30 years,” SAG President Melissa Gilbert said in a statement Monday.

Pavarotti gets medieval award for humanitarian work

London – Luciano Pavarotti has received a medieval British honor in recognition of his fundraising and humanitarian work with the Red Cross.

Pavarotti, 69, was given the Freedom of the City of London, a privilege which in medieval times allowed recipients to trade within the commercial center of the British capital.

The largely symbolic honor formerly bestowed the right to drive sheep across London Bridge and be hanged with a silken cord if handed the death penalty.

Pavarotti received the award Monday from the Corporation of London, the authority that governs the City, London’s tiny financial district and historic center.

Pavarotti has supported the International Red Cross and Red Crescent movement for more than a decade.
