The Flavor Flav Roast will air Sunday, August 12 at 10PM on Comedy Central.
After 30 years in the business, Flavor Flav is getting clocked. Roasters Snoop Dogg, Lisa Lampanelli, Ice T, Patton Oswalt, Jimmy Kimmel, Carrot Top and more will join Roast Master Katt Williams as they take on Flav’s history of lovin’, lampin’ and yeeeeeah boooooyin’.

He is considered to be one of the first ‘hype men’ in hip hop and became famous for his flair on stage; accessorizing with a large clock around his neck and dropping his famous catchphrases. Flav is is best known for his contributions to classic Public Enemy songs like “911 Is a Joke” and “Cold Lampin’ With Flav.”
In recent years, Flavor Flav has become known to a whole new generation of fans as a ubiquitous reality TV star. From his first appearance on VH1’s “The Surreal Life,” Flavor Flav has spawned four more reality shows since: “Strange Love,” “Flavor of Love,” “I Love New York” and “Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School.” It is this long, strange, varied career that will be celebrated Sunday, August 12 at 10pm/9c during the Comedy Central Roast of Flavor Flav.

Don’t be cruel! Bobby Brown filed a lawsuit against ex-wife Whitney Houston to change the terms of custody of their teen daughter, Bobbi Kristina.
In court documents filed in Orange County yesterday, Brown explains that he was just too screwed up after the breakup to properly handle a custody battle. “After Whitney and I separated, I had nowhere to go and very little money to live on. I was, for all intents and purposes, homeless.” That’s why he failed to respond to Whitney’s petition for custody in time, and why she was ultimately deemed the primary parent.
In Brown’s court filings yesterday, he begged the courts to reconsider, saying that, “I believe I have a wonderful relationship with my daughter Bobbi Kris — a relationship that I would like to see strengthen and grow.” That’s his prerogative!
