UNFUNNY BUSINESS

Dave Chappelle's former personal manager has filed a breach-of-contract complaint, claiming that the increasingly enigmatic comedian has stiffed him of at least $860,000. According to documents obtained by TheSmokingGun.com, Mustafa Abuelhija was fired by Chappelle in September, after the onetime Comedy Central poster boy returned from his "spiritual retreat" to South Africa, but is still owed fees for helping broker deals that earned Chappelle at least $10 million, if not tens of millions of dollars. I think it's now official: Chappelle is getting more ink now than he ever did when he was working.
