Last Friday we got the most breaking of breaking news that has hit broadcast televisions since, well, since Britney Spears went crazy and shaved her head. Yes, I am talking about the Tiger Woods apology. This apology was very newsworthy. No, I need to stop lying.<\/p>\n
The press acted like Woods’ apology was the impromptu State of the Union Address. If you were like me, you tried to watch other programming but couldn’t because the face of Nike was giving an apology that was not needed to the press.<\/p>\n
Even though I do not respect the fact he cheated on his wife, Tiger did not owe anyone an apology except his wife and family. Who are we, the public, to judge someone because of their sins?<\/p>\n
I think we all need to hop off our high horses and become more grounded. I felt that the most emotional moment of the whole press conference was at the end when Tiger hugged Momma Woods.<\/p>\n
I’m not going to lie, that precious moment made Tiger look genuinely changed. Tiger also mentioned in his apology that he plans to continue going to rehab and follow more of the Buddhist way.<\/p>\n
Tiger also mentioned he has no set plans on when he is returning to golf. I’m going to be honest and say that Tiger Woods is a golfer, not a perfect role model or the second Jesus, so let the man do what he does and play golf.<\/p>\n
In other rehab news, Charlie Sheen, star of “Two and a Half Men,” arrived in rehab this week in Los Angeles. Charlie admitted himself into rehab for issues that were not released. We do not know if the rehab had to do with drug or physical abuse.<\/p>\n
The 911 call Charlie Sheen’s wife Brooke Mueller made on Christmas day claimed that Charlie put a knife to her throat and threatened her life. Well, this resulted in Charlie getting charged on three crimes; felony menacing, misdemeanor, third- degree assault and misdemeanor criminal mischief. This story gets juicier because last week Brooke admitted herself into rehab for drug abuse.<\/p>\n
Therefore if this was a problem at Christmas, then the 911 call was most likely a drunken call, which was Charlie’s defense all along. What side do you sit on? The angry hollywood bad boy turned good or the gold digging drunken lying wife?<\/p>\n
Speaking about taking sides, Chris Golightly, the contestant who got disqualified from American Idol, now looks like a plagiaristic phony. Chris was the contestant on this season of American Idol who was disqualified because of a previous record deal.<\/p>\n
When the judges and producers found out they disqualified Chris from the top 24 round. Chris then rumored that he had a document that released him from his record deal. However, the CEO of Dream Project Entertainment, Lawrence Franklin, owned up and said he helped Chris forge a document to release his previous contract on June 7, 2009. Chris says Lawrence is lying. So who do you believe, Chris or Lawrence?<\/p>\n
In other big news, director Kevin Smith was thrown off a Southwest Airlines flight for being a “safety risk” or, what Southwest could not say publically, too fat to fly. Kevin originally booked a flight and bought two seats next to each other, which we call in the “overweight world,” an embarrassment. Kevin had decided to leave on an earlier flight, so he became a standby passenger and had to take the flight with only one seat. Kevin was buckled in when the flight attendants informed him that the pilot thought his extra hundred pounds was a “safety risk.”<\/p>\n
After many complaining tweets Southwest Airlines finally apologized for basically embarassing a celebrity on his flight.<\/p>\n
Now if this were me on the flight and a flight attendant told me to get up, I would go ghetto black on them. Bon qui qui please, LaRell Tacobell will cause a scene. I do admire Kevin Smith for not getting angry until he was off the plane, something I would never do.<\/p>\n
