KATT WILLIAMS IS BACK!!!

Just like Michael Jordan, Jay-Z, Evander Holyfield and Brett Favre ... comedian Katt Williams is officially UNRETIRING ... just four days after retiring. Earlier this week, a very emotional Katt announced his retirement on a street corner in Seattle ... insisting that he was, "kinda done ."But now, Katt's management team says he's undone ... telling us, "Katt is definitely NOT retiring. He will be moving forward with the tour ... Friday is Texas, Saturday New Orleans, and on to Alabama. "Management adds, "The reason why he made remarks was due to him feeling totally disrespected by all the things that happen to him in the city of Seattle. He had a moment where he felt very unappreciated. He now just wants to move forward from those unfortunate events and give his fans  outstanding shows from this point forward." Katt has also not retired from dealing with court ... TMZ has learned Williams was just charged with 2 counts of 4th degree misdemeanor assault in Seattle stemming from a bar fight this past weekend.

 CHECK OUT WHO'S UP FOR A GRAMMY....
The Grammy nominations are in and R&B breakout star Frank Ocean is leading the pack, racking up the same number of nominations as heavyweights Jay-Z and Kanye West. All three stars were nominated for six awards, but Ocean is up for three of the major categories including Best New Artist, Album of the Year and Record of the Year, which is awarded to the single. In Ocean's case the single would be his soulful ballad "Thinkin' 'Bout You" from Channel Orange, his major-label debut released in July by Def Jam. Fellow R&B crooner Miguel was nominated for Song of the Year with his track "Adorn" -- a category that the other three couldn't crack. Kanye and Jay-Z are up for their collaboration album Watch the Throne in several categories. "Ni--as in Paris" is nominated as Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song. "No Church in the Wild," which also features Ocean, is up for Best Rap Collaboration and Best Short Form Music Video. On his own, Kanye was also nominated several times for the song "Mercy" off Cruel Summer, the G.O.O.D music collaboration released this year. The track is also up for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance. The full list of nominees is available HERE!

Wendy Williams has some choice words for Beyonce -- specifically about how Queen B speaks. Perez Hilton reports that the ever-controversial Wendy made some less-than-flattering comments about Mrs. Carter during a recent taping of her show. "I am a Beyonce fan. I'm gonna watch her upcoming documentary because fortunately one of the TVs in our kitchen has closed captioning so I'll be able to understand what she says. You know Beyonce can't talk. She sounds like she has a fifth-grade education," Williams said. Wendy is of course alluding to the upcoming HBO documentary about Beyonce's life that will be released in February 2013. Beyonce directed the film and it will reportedly feature a lot of first-person shots while she talks directly to her laptop.
