       *Sometimes, artists will approach an interview requesting that certain topics remain off limits. Dave Chappelle found out Tuesday that Hot 97’s Miss Jones ain’t the one to play that game.      

       According to the New York Daily News, the comedian requested a phone interview with the New York radio personality to promote this week’s release of his film “Dave Chappelle’s Block Party” on DVD, but when the conversation turned toward his abrupt exit from Comedy Central’s “Chappelle’s Show,” he refused to open his mouth.            

       "I'm trying to play Gandhi," Chappelle said.      

       When co-host Michael Shaun jokingly asked if Chappelle had been "smoking something," Chappelle abruptly ended the interview.       

       "I feel like a fool for trying to be nice," Miss Jones commented to the Daily News, adding the comedian had little to say about the DVD anyway. "What I should have said was, 'What the f*** are you calling for?'"
