Chappelle in Mental Hospital

RAM's not going to be happy about this one.  It appears that Dave Chappelle's show on Comedy Central will be on hiatus for a time as he struggles to deal with the success he has enjoyed as of late.  There are reports that the man who has helped Rick James live on has checked into a foreign mental hospital to deal with the effects of a recent nervous breakdown. 

I wonder what my employer would say if I couldn't come to work because I claimed I was "exhausted due to tension, partying and creative differences."

UPDATE:  In an effort to be completely accurate, the mental hospital is in South Africa.

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

I just thought about how silly this story is.  Chappelle is so exhausted and mentally broken-down that he flies all the way to South Africa for mental rejuvenation.  That is just odd.  I personally am not that broken up about the fact that the show will be on hiatus.  Unlike RAM, I have never particularly cared for his brand of hate whitey humor.

Whoa. That's not good. I'm glad I TiVo'd all of Season 2...

Wait a second! I just read the article you linked to, and it said nothing about a "foreign mental hospital."

Are you trying to spread rumors, Tre?

While it's true that the 3rd season may never air, Dave isnt in a nuthouse tho maybe he should be in one; according to TIME.com, he is in South Africa tryin to get his head straight and taking career advice from such luminaries as LAURYN HILL. Yeah, she's bounced back well from her little meltdown......what? jonathan winters wasn't available???!!?!?!?
p.s. the farm in ohio the press keeps referring to as his sanctuary (and where his wife and kids live full-time) is in a small, stuck-in-the-60's, hippie community called Yellow Springs about 1/2 hr outside of Dayton. Justr an aside, it's the place Charles Manson says he'd like to live if ever parolled.
