After hearing about his little racist rant, A&E, the network that airs his TV show, released the following statement:
"We take this matter very seriously. Pending an investigation, we have suspended production on the series. When the inquiry is concluded we will take appropriate action."
They probably don't want to take the same heat NBC took after those Don Imus comments.
Way to go, A&E!...
Yup, Brooke Shields drove her car into her own house. And not the garage. [Cele|bitchy] Hey, you know what's not true? That Owen Wilson's dating Jessica Simpson. But the gossip rags are printing it anyway. [popbytes] Amanda Bynes is adorable. [INO] Oh, I love RuPaul. [Bossip] Audrina Patridge is either an 1980s Madonna or a dead hooker. It's a thin line. [Drunken Stepfather] Michael Jackson's shooting an Ebony cover in Brooklyn. [DListed] Someone punched Pierce Brosnan in the balls? [Celebslam] Regis and Kelly dress up as the Beckhams! [Just Jared]
We don't cover much industry news around here, but, for those of you who care, the Writers Guild of America is threatening to go on strike as of midnight tonight if they cannot resolve their contract dispute with the major studios.
This probably won't impact reality TV shows, as their "writers" are not usually WGA members, but it will impact scripted television and talk shows (Is Jay Leno funny without writers? We'll find out!). Most of the films for 2008 and 2009 release have already been scripted, so the impact on film will be minimal for now.
I'd just like to state, once again, for the record, if this strike happens: I AM READY AND WILLING TO WRITE FOR TELEVISION! SERIOUSLY! SIGN ME THE FUCK UP! AND CONSIDER ISOBEL STEPHENS DEAD!
Not that any of you care, but we'll keep you posted on all this.
Sorry for the brief interruption with boring stuff.
We'll get back to drunk celebs now. />We don't cover much industry news around here, but, for those of you who care, the Writers Guild of America is threatening to go on strike as of midnight tonight if they cannot resolve their contract dispute with the major studios.

It was about time we got another celeb racist rant on tape!!! Nice to know this sort of behavior is still alive and kicking. And here I was worried we were making progress in this world.
Listen to a portion of a phone conversation between Dog and his son, Tucker. Dog doesn't want Tucker's girlfriend, Monique, who is black, to be around because they say "nigger" in the house, and he doesn't want that getting into the tabs and ruining his career. He claims they don't mean it in a derogatory w...
The singer hasn't even confirmed her pregnancy yet, so it's hard to be sure exactly when she's due, but it's gotta be coming up soon. She's huge!
Shopping in LA on Tuesday....
I guess that's the going rate for killing a 17-year-old kid while driving on a coked-up bender.
"I'm sick of my own behavior that night," Garrison said in court. "This remorse is genuine. I feel it every day."
I'd say the message here is don't drive drunk, but you kids should already know that.
So the other message is, please, don't get in a car with a drunk-ass D-list celebrity. If you're gonna risk your life, at least find a damn B-lister. ...
Britney's trainwreck of a promotional tour -- beginning and ending, she says, with this Ryan Seacrest interview -- is now available for your listening pleasure. Click here.
God, I feel bad for Ryan. This thing was such a nightmare. I only got through 2 1/2 minutes, and then it hurt too bad. I'm not a very thorough journalist. Please let me know if anything less painful happened in the remaining 20 minutes.
Britney Spears' album is expected to be #1 on the charts this week. ...
"Who?"
Britney Spears, when Ryan Seacrest asked her during a phone interview this morning if she was having a romance with Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo.
Britney reportedly had to be woken up for the 9:30 am interview, and sounded groggy and out-of-it throughout the entire thing.
Ryan himself reported Britney giving Tony a lap dance at an LA club last weekend. ...
I'll admit, I was really skeptical when Daniel Craig was first cast as James Bond -- I just didn't find him all that impressive -- but then I saw the film, and I quickly changed my mind. Mostly I changed my mind during that Speedo scene. Yeah. That's where most of the mind-changing happened.
Daniel Craig -- and his enormous package -- have signed on to do four more Bond films. I hope he's in that damn Speedo for the entirety of all four of them. Listen, MGM, we've seen Bond in a tux more t...
No, it's not Lindsay -- she's still sober, as best I can tell -- it's Mischa Barton's kid sister, Hania, who went to rehab in February of this year.
MISCHA Barton's younger sister, Hania, showed up at a Hollywood fashion show so wasted last weekend, designer Daniel Darhan told her she couldn't walk the runway. Web site celebritybabylon.com also reports she was so "out of it" at the Troy Kingdom fashion show at club Area, she could "barely stand up. Her legs were like jelly. She was literally chewing o...
This item is going to make my head explode.
Ashley Olsen has a new, older man. The 21-year-old twin showed up to the Rose Bar at the Gramercy Park Hotel Monday night with Tory Burch's ex, Lance Armstrong, 36. Our bar spy said, "They came together with a group of friends. Ashley drank red wine, sat on his lap and they were making out all night. They left together around 2 a.m." Armstrong has been spending more time in town since he bought a home here. Another source said, "He tried to mak...
