Chris Rock has become the latest one percent-er to say he's okay with raising taxes on himself.

Joining Warren Buffet, Bill Gates and others, the comedian (who's worth $70 MILLION!) says he's going to lose the extra money, so why not help others get jobs.

Chris said the following on the matter:

can pay higher taxes and people can have jobs or I can pay lower taxes and I have my kids' teacher asking me for a loan because she's going to lose her house, which is true. Stuff like that happens, so I'm going to lose the money no matter what.

Well said, Mr. Rock! Do U agree?

Check out the video above and hear Chris dish on his thoughts on the economy.

Only if they want to make heaps upon heaps of cash and play sold out theaters across the U.S. But what stand-up comedian would want that, right?

While at the Sundance Film Festival this week promoting some upcoming projects, Chris Rock confessed that when looking to the future of his career, he's feeling more in the mood to start touring again rather than make more movies. Since October, there have be rumors circulating that in 2012, he'd be doing just that, with fellow comedian Dave Chappelle sharing space on the marquee. Instantly, people responded positively to the idea of the guys working together, including Chris himself. He explained:

Reminds us of the time that Bobby Cannavale kept performing in Chris Rock's Broadway play after suffering a bloody head wound!

Last night, DMX was performing a show at Cafe Sevilla in Long Beach, CA, when he was attacked by a crazed fan!

The fan was able to briefly grip his hands around X's throat, but after security removed the man and the music stopped, X told the DJ to keep going:

What do U think?? Will U??

For the first time, all of the premieres showing at the Sundance Film Festival are looking for distribution in the U.S., even though all of them star very well known and big celebrities!

It'll make for an interesting time for companies to bid on right, especially if they're all so good that they're hard to choose!

The premiere list is long, but here are some of them with their celebrity actors:

Kirsten Dunst’s wedding romp “Bachelorette,” directed by Leslye Headland; Bruce Willis and Catherine Zeta-Jones’ Las Vegas bookie caper “Lay the Favorite,” from filmmaker Stephen Frears; Richard Gere and Susan Sarandon’s Wall Street saga “Arbitrage,” directed by Nicholas Jarecki; Sigourney Weaver and Robert De Niro in Rodrigo Cortes’ paranormal thriller “Red Lights”; and actor-director Julie Delpy’s “2 Days in New York,” co-starring Chris Rock in a follow-up to her 2007 romance “2 Days in Paris.”

All of them put in their hard work, we're sure, and we can't wait to hear what's good this year!

Best of luck to everyone involved, including crew and writers too.

Are U excited for anything in particular this year??
