Dog Bounty Hunter Gets Pulled

My last post was about how he apologized for his racist comments a few days ago, but apparently A&E was not satisfied. After seeing the leaked video of his comments, they have pulled his show entirely. It looked like the show was going to be a nice marriage for the network and Dog, but I guess you can forget about sending any wedding flowers for now.

"In evaluating the circumstances of the last few days, A&E has decided to take `Dog The Bounty Hunter' off the network's schedule for the foreseeable future," the network said in a statement Friday. "We hope that Mr. Chapman continues the healing process that he has begun."

Dog Bounty Hunter was one of the networks top rated shows, so they haven't actually "canceled" the show at this point.

"I guess because of whatever level of anger he had of his father, he felt the need to express it in that manner," attorney Brook Hart told The Associated Press.

Chapman has said he was "disappointed in his choice of a friend, not due to her race, but her character. However, I should have never used that term." He also said he was ashamed of himself and pledged to make amends.

Dog Bounty Hunter 'Sorry' for Racist Rant w/ Audio

Get your BS catching aprons on. Another "celeb" who went off the wall and decided to throw a bunch of racial crap around is going to make a fake apology to everyone. The tirade can be heard at TMZ.com here
(This audio in the link contains racial slurs featuring the "N" word. You have been warned).

After the tirade, "Dog" has decided to take it all back and apologize. How cute.

"We take this matter very seriously," A&E spokesman Michael Feeney said in a statement Thursday. "Pending an investigation, we have suspended production on the series. When the inquiry is concluded, we will take appropriate action."

"There's no problem with how the tape was obtained and Dog has acknowledged its authenticity, and admitted to using the racist language," said David Perel, the Enquirer's editor-in-chief.

"I did not mean to add yet another slap in the face to an entire race of people who have brought so many gifts to this world," he said. "I am ashamed of myself and I pledge to do whatever I can to repair this damage I have caused."

Chapman said, "My sincerest, heartfelt apologies go out to every person I have offended for my regrettable use of very inappropriate language. I am deeply disappointed in myself for speaking out of anger to my son and using such a hateful term in a private phone conversation."

Chapman said the clip was completely taken out of context.

"I was disappointed in his choice of a friend, not due to her race, but her character," he said. "However, I should have never used that term."

Chapman said he is meeting with his spiritual adviser, Rev. Tim Storey, who is black, and hopes to meet with other black leaders, "so they can see who I really am and teach me the right thing to do to make things right, again."

"I know that all of my fans are deeply disappointed in me, as well, as I have tried to be a model for doing the right thing," he said. "I did not do the right thing this time, and hope you will forgive me."

Sure, pal. Whatever.

Britney Spears Halloween Costume

Looking for a reason to vomit? Well you just found it. Britney Spears with some see-through Halloween attire. People in the area were heard to be saying they were selling their
real estate before the prices plummeted.

I can't imagine you want to see more, but I guess there are those train wreck types that have to look at everything so bad they can't turn away. IF you are one of those you can find a whole gallery of her photos from her "coming out" party las night here at AOL.

Yoda gets his own stamp

Kind of silly, but I watched the first Star Wars (Episode IV it is now called) the other day and realized how stupid it was now that I'm older. Lucas has the cheesiest dialog of any movie I've ever seen. Guess Luke's parents didn't need to get any
life insurance for kids back then because they survived. We all knew that anyways since this movie came out about 90 years before the episodes that preceded it.

Spears Regains Visitation Rights

Yeah i know. I have spent the last month focusing almost entirely on Britney, but she's crazy and in the news constantly. Either by trying to find the press herself, or doing something stupid like running over a reporter. It seems she may have found herself a bit of natural progesterone and calmed down lately because she got visitation with her kids back after losing it, again.

Britney Spears has regained temporary visitation rights of her sons, her attorney said Sunday.

"Yes, she has visitation with the children," her lawyer, Anne Kiley, said in an e-mail to The Associated Press without elaborating. read more

Britney Runs over 'Paparazzo's' Foot

Hours after losing visitation rights with her two young sons, the struggling pop star apparently ran over the foot of a photographer for celebrity Web site TMZ.com. Spears was driving away from a Beverly Hills medical building, her car surrounded by photographers, when the incident occurred about 5 p.m. Thursday. Sounds like that reporter should be on a diet patch so they can move faster.

"Things happen at certain times and she was just a little impatient," said the man, whose name wasn't released. "She got a little impatient for whatever reason. I say let bygones be bygones."

Gotta respect the guy for not making a big deal out of it in this sue happy world we live in I guess. At least for now...

Britney Spears Turns Herself In

Not to a
commercial collection agency, which she will probably be looking at in the future the way she is going, but to the police. On Monday night, Spears reported to a Los Angeles police station to face charges of hit and run and driving without a valid license, police said.

Officer Mike Lopez said Spears turned herself in around 9 p.m. and left about 45 minutes later. Spears was fingerprinted and photographed, he said.

"She was fine, cooperative," Lopez said. "She did her business and came out."

"They were nice," she said of police. She told the station she was wearing the sunglasses because she had pinkeye.

The charges stem from an Aug. 6 wreck during which paparazzi filmed Spears steering her car into another vehicle as she tried to turn into a spot in a Studio City parking lot. The video showed her walking away after assessing the damage to her own car.

Who is your favorite band?

I'm pretty much a rocker type music listener, and more precisely I like classic rock and alternative, but I have a lot of musical interests. It is tough for me to pick one band that I like the most, but I would have to say it is The Doors currently.

The other reason I bring this up is because I am thinking of picking up some Van Halen tickets soon because a friend of mine is a huge fan and they put on one hell of a show. Definitely one of the better groups that has ever been formed. I tend to like the David Lee Roth Van Halen, but my buddy is more of a fan of the Sammy Hagar era.

Silver Bells

Is it almost time for Christmas shopping to begin? Well for many it probably is, but why would I talk about silver at this time of year? The demand for silver has been exceeding production every for for the past seventeen years and it continues to do so. The increased demand makes the investment in silver one that should be a good one. Basic supply and demand economics states that when people want more of something than there is of it, the value will rise. Silver is in this situation right now.

Through Monex Deposit Company you can purchase silver or other precious metals for immediate personal delivery or arrange for convenient and safe storage at an independent bank or depository. For over 30 years, the Monex companies have been America’s silver and precious metals investment leader.

Jay Leno regretting retirement announcement?

Recently it was said that Leno was going retire and that NBS is going to hand over the reigns to his late night show to Conan O'Brien. Leno I guess is upset that Conan will be given the show. I'd rather watch a show selling diamond rings than to watch Leno, but apparently he is the most popular late night show there is. A recent poll on AOL says that both Leno and Letterman are more popular than Conan. I find this utterly ridiculous. There is no way that anyone in the 18-40 market would rather watch these 2 has beens over Conan. This is what NBC was betting on when they decided to try and keep Conan here when Leno retires in 2009. Leno agreed to Conan replacing him so that NBC could keep him at the network.
