Update: Dave Chappelle
 

NEW YORK - Comedy Central star Dave Chappelle has checked himself into a mental health facility in South Africa, the magazine Entertainment Weekly reported on Wednesday.

The comedian’s whereabouts and condition have been unknown since Comedy Central abruptly announced last week that the planned May 31 launch of the third season of “Chappelle’s Show” had been postponed and production halted.

Chappelle flew from Newark, N.J., to South Africa on April 28 for treatment, said the magazine, quoting a source close to the show it would not identify. Entertainment Weekly said it had corroborating sources for its story.

hell I'd go nuts too if my hit tv show was postponed

saw that in the paper this morning.

and i think his show was posponed because no one could find him.

South Africa? oOo: Sad to see someone's life go downhill like this so quickly.

wow didnt know he would be that crazy over it being postponed. Postponed doenst mean ended for life.

I doubt thats it. If I had to say, sky rocketing to fame so quickly and being demanded to make more product drove him nuts.

if true, at least hes trying to do something about it before he goes martin lawrence.

poor guy...

damn, lets hope he doesnt pull a Kurt Cobain.

You guys do realize that the reason the show is postponed is because Chapelle has gone bat shit insane, and not the other way around right? You make it sound like Comedy Central halted production and then Dave was like "fuck this shit, I'm out"

I think he went nuts because he's muslim and his show clashes with his beliefs.

i think the mad amount of money he recently acquired allowed him some serious drugs abuse... plus: Fame is a Helluva Drug...

shitty

Agreed. I hope he gets his shit together. annoy:

It's really sad - I always figured he was above all that because he got serious laughs from taking the piss of those who fell into the clutches of crack addiction, etc....

I guess I was wrong. Either that, or it's unrelated to drugs, maybe schziophrenia or something in the genes...

Regardless, it's terrible news - He was at the top of his game....

hes not? lol

Prolly just couldnt handle the pressure of being the funniest show on the air. Read some articles that say hes a complete perfectionist and constantly worries about coming up with new and funnier material. Hope he gets his shit together and comes back, cause im sick of all this SNL and MAD tv diarrhea they have on tv now.

/hug bleuachdu

Good to see him going to Africa to chill out..The motherland

welland is the true motherland...

lol, thats fucked up

I don't think he meant becuase he is black that it's his motherland. Technically it's all of humanities motherland.

thats basically what i figured, but you know how us "down to earth" guys deal with millions, puff-puff...

LOL....I hear that. That's one thing I could still see myself doing even if I became the richest man alive.
