If you recall, I was recently talking about the whole Palin vs Letterman thing. He made a joke about her daughter and it was big news. She did a lot of press about the whole thing. And there was a lot of media attention in general. And now it seems that Letterman has apologized. Too bad it took him a few days.
In case you haven’t noticed there is a lot of Palin vs Letterman talk. Seems like all the news stories I see are on the two of them. So what is going on? Palin was in NYC with her daughter. Letterman made the joke that Palin’s daughter got “knocked up” by New York Yankee third baseman Alex Rodriguez during their recent trip to New York.
When asked about it, Palin said:
“I would like to see him apologize to young women across the country for contributing to kind of that thread that is throughout our culture that makes it sound like it is OK to talk about young girls in that way, where it’s kind of OK, accepted and funny to talk about statutory rape,” she said. “It’s not cool. It’s not funny.”
See, Palin was traveling with her 14 year old daughter. And Letterman has said his joke was about Palin’s 18-year-old daughter Bristol.
Letterman said on his show Wednesday that he would “never, ever make jokes about raping or having sex of any description with a 14-year-old girl.” He said he was guilty of poor taste.
Yes, indeed he was.
The Tony Awards were last night. The opening number included a slew of celebrities, including Dolly Parton. Alice Ripley was named best actress in a musical. It was for her role as a bipolar suburban housewife in “Next to Normal.” Liza Minnelli won the best special theatrical event Tony for “Liza’s at the Palace.” Angela Lansbury won her fifth Tony Award for best featured actress in a play for her performance in “Blithe Spirit.” With this she tied the record for the most Tony Awards won by an actress set by Julie Harris.
Kelly Clarkson is often being talked about because of her weight. Finally she has something to say about it. She is tired of the “fat joke.” She says that she loves her body. And she should!
She also addressed rumors about her sexuality. Her quote:
“The rumors are not helping me on the dating front!” she said. “I prefer the boys. I’m extremely flattered when I do get hit on by girls, and I think it’s hot, but I’m not into it. I like boys.”
