wow what talent! I must have watched it 4 times trying to see if it was staged or dubbed but that guy really has talent. I hope he does get a break and get an opportunity to get back on track.

Technically Cleveland never had a "King". The self proclaimed "King James" wasn't and still isn't the king of anything. It don't mean a thing if you ain't got the rings! GO LAKERS!

"We have already reported that Williams has received a ton of job offers and now it looks like he wants to get clean before he accepts them. Ted Williams will be going to rehab and then I can expect we will see him doing some sort of professional sports commentating in the near future."


Side note

http://www.aolnews.com/2011/01/14/ho...-ted-williams/

"The actress recently released a video in which, while dressed as the famous "Mama" character that she originated in the late 1960s on "The Carol Burnett Show," she claims that the only way to become famous these days is to be homeless.

The video clearly targets the recent rise of homeless voice-over artist Williams.


"So here's what I'm going
to do. I'm going to take this stupid a-- sign and go out on the street, and I'm gonna wait for some bozo to drive by.

"And when he gives me a dollar, I'm going to say, 'God bless you. God bless you,' in the sweetest, deepest voice that I pull out of my a-- and you know what? Next thing, I'm gonna be famous. I'm gonna be all over the TV, and I'm gonna have all kinds of people asking me to represent their product, like, I don't know, Super Poligrip. And Depends! I would be a perfect spokesperson for Depends!'"


Lawrence, 61, made the video after seeing all the glowing media coverage about Williams and work being handed to him while she, an actress with more than 40 years experience, is settling for guest parts on "Hannah Montana."

-------
Reddin thinks the video is "really tacky" and, worse, inaccurate. Such as when Lawrence's Mama character gripes about Williams' recent voiceover spot for Kraft Macaroni and Cheese by questioning the likelihood of homeless people actually boiling water in the bushes.

"She should note that mac 'n cheese is actually pretty popular on the streets," he said. "It's cheap, quick and easily made, not to mention it provides plenty of carbs to keep the body going in the elements.

"So, not only is she old and washed up but she's also out of touch with reality. Wait, that's because of that old part, right? Or was she always? I don't know. And I'm far too young to give a damn."

As Reddin sees it, Lawrence is using this video -- which he calls "dehumanizing" and "derogatory" and "just plain stupid" -- as a way to get another 15 minutes of fame.

"She's complaining about anybody becoming famous these days, but she's just riding on Ted Williams' coattails."

I like how the original video was removed due to copyright when the company didn't record it
