An Apology For Punkin' Everyone At Halftime Show
Last night, Janet Jackson sent in a videotape to the media and profusely apologized for her bad makeup choices during the past 72 hours.
"I am really sorry if I offended anyone. That was truly not my intention. MTV, CBS, the NFL had no knowledge of this whatsoever, and unfortunately, the whole thing went wrong in the end."
Oh yeah, Jackson also went to say that it was wrong of her to bare her breast to the world at the Super Bowl.
"We were really ripped off. We were punk'd by Janet Jackson," says an MTV Chairman. Watch your back Janet cause Ashton might be coming for you.
At the premiere of 50 First Dates yesterday, Rob Schneider attempted to upstage Janet but it doesn't have the same effect.
The Godfather of Soul has filed papers seeking an annulment from his 33-year-old missus, claiming she's still legally hitched to another man. Reason enough for his missus to get bitch-slapped it seems.
The 'C'-word: One of Televisions last taboos was uttered by John Lyndon yesterday on live television. Our guess is that ER will be the next show to say that word in the US. Another TV show that has diminished all sort of taboos within the past years will be taking up residence in the city of brotherly love. A source at Bunim-Murray Productions has confirmed to E! that season 15 of The Real World will take place in Philadelphia. Production's set to begin in April. (link) RWPhil.com is already up and running with anticipation of the mayhem that will ensue.
Williamsburg folks gets the bad end of the stick with Continuing Service Disruptions Weekends and Late Nights through 2005. In this NY Post article, a local resident says he feels "like we are considered second-class citizens. How they could close the L train on a weekend . . . is beyond me." The Dizzee Rascal deal is taking place at Volume in Billyburg this weekend, so if you are going, find alternatives beside trying to take the L train. We see a G train in your future. This post about the G train from CL's Missed Connection is classic. Be sure to bring a portable heater.
