“The first season these dance instructors were normal people. They’re not exactly living the high life. They put them on TV and they develop personalities. They all have become full of themselves. And Maksim is very taken with himself. He doesn’t like to be criticized. The whole show is being criticized and he doesn’t like it… Well, he is dancing with Brandy … This guy is yelling at her, giving her the business about how she has to work harder. She’s being a good sport about it, pretending like this actually matters if they’re dancing the f***ing samba correctly. All of the sudden, while he’s training her he starts smacking her on the ass. This guy is training a woman, a black woman. You know when a man walks by a woman and makes a sound like she’s a fine horse? He’s smacking her on the ass like she’s his personal property, like back in the slave days. I was astounded they were showing this on TV.”

- Howard Stern going off about Maksim Chmerkovskiy treatment of his partner Brandy on Dancing With The Stars.

A lot of people hate Howard because they just hear the things he says that are so honest that they seem offensive, but I love him because he also always says stuff like this. He’s a man of strong, smart opinions.

I couldn’t agree more about Maksim’s treatment of Brandy and how absolutely disgusting it is that the producers allow their professional relationship to be played out like that on camera.

Ugh. So T.I. is going back to jail for eleven months for breaking his probation.

I know, I know. I’m a huge hypocrite. I want the book thrown at Lohan, but I want to keep my favorite rappers out of jail, even if they’re guiltier of much greater crimes. I see the double standard, but fuck it. I don’t care. I love T.I.

Y’all may remember that T.I. did some time for illegal arms trading a little over a year ago, and then just about a month ago he and his new wife were pulled over and the cops found ecstasy in the car. At the time I made a video saying that I thought his wife should have taken the fall for him. That also may be a controversial opinion. Whatever.

When he appeared in front of the judge, the rapper begged the judge to send him to drug counceling instead of jail and the man who’s life he saved just two weeks prior even testified in his defense, but seeing as T.I. is a repeat offender, he got sentenced to another round behind bars.

Lindsay Lohan has been cleaning herself up at the Betty Ford Clinic for over a week now and this trip to rehab is the one that really needs to stick. Homegirl went to jail, went to rehab, went back to jail, went back to rehab and now she’s back in rehab again. It’s beyond crucial that this treatment works, so you’d think that everyone in her life would be focused on the present, trying to make sure that she’s being set up with the tools she needs to become a functioning member of society for the first time in her life upon her release.

Ha! That’s not the case, obviously.

Dina Lohan, Lindsay’s manager/mom (in that order, I’m sure), has already been poking around trying to find the best media outlet for her daughter to come clean to after her rehab experience. Supposedly she’s sniffing around asking for five figures, which is a pretty pathetic sum considering that at one point in time, Lindsay was getting paid millions for acting in movies.

Maybe it’s time for some new representation, Lindz.

… and you thought child stars don’t live normal lives.

Justin Bieber was asked to leave a Vancouver laser tag arcade-thing-situation the other night after a 12-year old boy claimed that the popstar punched in him in the face.

Biebs and his bodyguards showed up to the gaming center on Friday night and Justin played hard with about 12-14 other boys, most of whom seemed to be targeting Justin. I mean, if you were a young teen boy and Justin Bieber showed up to play laser tag with you and your homies, wouldn’t you try and beat the dude, too?

Still, something went wrong and Justin wound up being asked to leave. The local police are investigating the incident, but the boy suffered minimal injuries, and the nature of the game makes most rough contact only questionably malicious.

Shocker! Michelle “Bombsell” McGee, the tattoo model who was the first to publicly admit to an affair with Sandra Bullock’s ex-husband, Jesse James is saying that she has absolutely no regrets about their tryst.

From the HeraldSun:

The 32-year-old, in Sydney for the annual SexPo exhibition which kicks off tomorrow, conceded she “wasn’t the one who broke a vow”, saying James had lied to her about his marital status and that she would like to sit down with Blind Side star Bullock to discuss what happened.

McGee also admitted she had tried to shelter her two children, Avery, 6, and Elijah, 12, from the scandal she admitted to in March.

“I have been very careful not to have my kids photographed by the paparazzi and to keep them away from all of it, but my 12-year-old is old enough to understand,” she said. “I would do it all over again if I had the chance.”

Nothing about this is surprising. We’ve known this woman was a famewhore on a mission since day one. The fact that she would put her son through all of this again is just another example of how destructive she is.

And her and Sandy ever sitting down to discuss the incident? Maybe in her next life…

…but it wasn’t cheating. According to RadarOnline, the couple had an open marriage. Well, the door was open on Cristina’s side, anyway.

While she and Jordan were together, Christina was allowed to bring girls home whenever she wanted. One of the ladies that Christina put the moves on at West Hollywood gay bar The Abbey reported the following story:

“The bodyguard told me it was an understanding within their marriage and that she brings girls home and Jordan’s okay with it…I met Christina in the bathroom and she told me she liked to play with girls. I ended up not pursuing anything with it because the situation just seemed so weird to me, but Christina was definitely looking to hook up…My understanding was that Jordan wasn’t involved when she brought girls home, so maybe the divorce is because Jordan’s jealousy got the best of him.”

Yo’kay. Well, was the least shocking inside scoop that I’ve ever read in my life. Christina has always had a little bit of a freaky side to her and I dunno, that Jordan Bratman dude seemed like he knew he was the luckiest dude in town when they got married. She’s a gorgeous superstar and he’s a supposedly darling but kinda…uh… plain lookin’ dude. I can’t think of a celebrity husband who would be more open to making his marriage work and letting his diva wife do whatever she wants just so he could stick around her, you know? But being passive like all that starts to wear a person down after awhile.

I’m thinking about it like this: I love Christina so much as an artist and even from what I know about her as a person. So yeah, I’m sad her marriage failed… But I am soooo excited to see if Christina will start bringing women as her red carpet dates and like, really embracing the whole bi-sexual thing.
