Joaquin Phoenix decided to spit rhymes into a mic the other night at a bar in Culver City, Calif. -- which caused everyone who heard him to spit up in their mouths.
The guy just quit acting to become a rock star ... and if this freestyle disaster is any clue as to how his music career will go, let's just say it's DOA.

One of the guys from 'NSYNC who isn't Justin or Lance claims the only reason he was at a super-discounted outlet tent in Hollywood yesterday was to "take his friend there." 
Rrrrright.

Nothing says Season's Greetings like a burning cross on your front lawn!
The American Family Association -- a hate group disguised as an ultra-right wing Christian organization -- wants to usher in the holiday spirit by selling this nearly six foot tall scary lookin' lighted cross. I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.
The evil '50s throwback is available on their website for just 82 hate-filled dollars "and requires only a screwdriver" to assemble.

In a so called "political satire," makers of a waffle mix showcasing Barack Obama have many calling it a racial stereotype that goes waaay too far.
The offensive material includes such gems as Obama wearing an Arab-like headdress on the top flap of the box, while the back of the box depicts Barack in stereotypical Mexican dress. The recipe includes a tip: "While waiting for these zesty treats to invade your home, why not learn a foreign language?"
The men who created the controversial Obama Waffles sold their lack of genius for $10 a box during the Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C. this week. Organizers have since cut off sales, saying they had not realized the boxes displayed "offensive material."
The Obama campaign declined to comment.

So this is why Solange doesn't want to be associated with her.

Not to be outdone by the Spanish national Olympic basketball team, the Spanish women's tennis team pulled the same offensive pose that's apparently sweeping their nation. Ay dios mio!
This racy pic was taken during preparation for their Federation Cup match against China back in April.
The photo still remains on the team's website with the attached caption: "Estamos preparados para China", which translates to, "We are prepared for China." Yeah, preparing for the backlash!

Sometimes less is more -- especially when it comes to follicularly-challenged celebrities. See why being bald like Britney can be a good thing.

Why can't egocentric actors just learn to shut their mouths?
English idiot Rupert Everett just bashed British soldiers by saying, "They are always whining about the dangers of being killed. Oh my God, they are such whimps now!"
Unfortunately, he continued on. "The whole point of being the Army is wanting to get killed, wanting to test yourself to the limits," he told the Telegraph. "Now you have to fly 15,000 ft. above the war zone to avoid getting hit. I don't think there is any point in having wars if that's how you're going to behave. It's pathetic. All this whining!"
Because it's real tough being an actor.
UPDATE: Everett must have realized how dumb he sounded, because he has since apologized for his remarks.

"Fat Actress" star Kirstie Alley clearly hasn't seen Jenny lately, but there could be a Machiavellian reason.
After losing over 75 Scientolopounds on Jenny Craig, Kirstie said she was planning to start her very own slim down system that she'd launch next year. But these days it's clear ... Kirstie isn't taking her own medicine.
But how's this for a theory -- she can't sell a weight loss program if there's no dramatic before and after fresh in people's minds. So she balloons up, then slims down, and then sells tons (you'll pardon the expression) of her magic weight loss stuff.
Genius!

Spies on Scott Caan's upcoming film, "Mercy" tell us Stacy Keibler lobbied hard for a scene in which she would expose her breasts.
Then the unthinkable happened! Director Patrick Hoelck nixed the idea!
People on the production team were stunned, lobbying Hoelck for a change of heart. And finally, Hoelck saw two really good reasons why he should change his mind.
Keibler now realizing her rack's worth said no way and declined the role completely.
The role has since been given to a no-named actress. Her name? Not Stacy Keibler.

What parents let their kids hang around a guy who looks like he's exposing his penis near a pre-school?
That's exactly what happened in NYC yesterday, when Catherine Zeta-Jones shot a scene for a movie. Check out CZJ running away from a flasher with two kids under her arms. And look behind the flasher at the extras -- little tykes watching Long Dong Silver showing his prosthetic wang.
So producers paid the kids squat and the parents bit the bait. When the mini-extras go to real school, they'll surely be the hit during show and tell.

Jon Lovitz might want to think about sticking a foot long Subway sandwich in his mouth after he quoted Obama's frienemy Reverend Wright, then followed it up with an offensive AIDS joke aimed at Blacks -- at an AIDS charity event! Yeah, that's the ticket! Is what he said afterwards a recovery or not? Watch the video, then vote.
