LOL - I agree. I wouldn't think that the lindy hop would be the dance for that either. That could be dangerous (ouch!). I'm still disgusted about David Alan Grier's comments. I know I'm repeating myself but it is worth repeating. There is no excuse for that. He must have a lot of internal hostility.

David Allen Grier apologizes on Jimmy Kimmel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gppqwp-ns-k I saw this the other night/morning. Glad it's on YouTube because it's pretty funny!

Thanks for posting that Bee. Unfortunately his bit there didn't help as far as I'm concerned. He acted like even more of a jerk. He didn't seem sorry at all and he still thinks it's a joke or at least he is trying to make it into one now.

Did Mr. Grier actually think he was good enough to stay in it for the long haul? Puhleeze.

That thing about DAG just confirms the way he appeared to me when he was on the show. He hated criticism more than anyone and always had a peeved look on his face when he received it. Oh and by the way: he sucked. At least the show's other angry contestant, Melissa, has some talent, even though her anger seems to shine through on every performance, and she takes the criticism well.

Jimmer...many of these "apologies" DO seem rather insincere, don't they? Jamie Foxx prefaced his with the words: I'm a comedian so don't believe a word I say. Uh....okay. lol What I thought was funny about Grier is that he was so deeply involved with it. I don't think he expected that. Ha!

So I guess we shouldn't believe Jamie Foxx's apology either.

I didn't hear Foxx's apology. Did he sound sincere at least?

Hey, he's an actor. From what I heard he did sound sincere. But of course he's also a comedian so we can't believe a word he says...LOL! I just want to know if the public outcry about this would have been different if Billy Ray had made similar remarks about Jamie's daughter.

I don't think the outcry would be any different though I can't imagine Billy Ray doing that in the first place. And Billy Ray wouldn't even have the tired excuse that he is a comedian.

Billy Ray was on Bonnie Hunt today. She asked him about what Foxx had said. Billy Ray didn't want to say much, but did say / ask what Foxx would think if he (Billy) had said that about Foxx's daughter. Melissa and Tony were on Ellen today and did the salsa. Melissa sure had the hip action going on. So much so that the jeans she was wearing were sliding...sliding...sliding. She really looked tiny.

Color, over the past few weeks, I think Mel has lost some weight. She is a lot more toned than she was during The Bachelor.

Both apologies were IMO damage control and both included a shrug, sheepish look at the host (Jimmy Kimmel, Letterman) and the disclaimer/excuse "hey, I'm a comedian". pfft.

Jamie has a movie coming out, right? I suspect he was rather forcefully told to make it better AND promote the movie. The sickest think I saw was the "news" that came on our fox channel the night I had to record it because of course American Idol would run late which would push "Fringe" into the news hour a bit.. and they showed part of Jamie's "apology" and then instead of commenting on the apology or the fact he was attacking a 16 year old girl, the female anchor chirped "I can't WAIT to see his movie!" So I guess the whole thing worked for her.
