Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson just issued an apology for hurling a gay slur at reporters yesterday -- but it was too late ... the team has already sidelined him from team activities.
Here's Johnson's apology:
First of all, I want to apologize to the fans of the Kansas City Chiefs and the rest of the NFL, Commissioner Goodell, the Chiefs organization, Coach Todd Haley, his staff, and my teammates for the words I used yesterday"
"I regret my actions. The words were used by me in frustration, and they were not appropriate. I did not intend to offend anyone, but that is no excuse for what I said. "
"I also want to apologize to all the kids who view athletes as role models. I was not a good role model yesterday and hopefully I can become a better role model. We all make mistakes, and the challenge is to learn from them. I will do my best to learn from this one as I move toward becoming a better person, teammate, and member of the Kansas City chiefs team and community."
The Chiefs have "instructed Larry to refrain from practicing with the Chiefs or participating in other team activities" while they conduct an internal investigation.
It's unlikely the incident will affect Larry's play -- it can't get any worse this season.
Mickey Rourke should quit while he's ahead. But he's not even ahead, so he should just quit.
Rourke offered up a ton of reasons to our guy in New York yesterday for why he has no problem saying the word f**got -- even going as far as playing the "I have more gay friends than any 50 straight people I know" card.
On Friday, we asked if Mickey was homophobic -- 60% said yes. How 'bout now?
Mickey Rourke tried using a football situation to defend his constant use of the incredibly offensive, homophobic f-word -- but this rant definitely isn't doing him any favors.
WARNING: This video contains extremely explicit language.
Mickey randomly went on an expletive filled diatribe the other night in NYC, saying his much criticized use of the word last November had "nothing to do with gay" and explained, "punkass ... f**got .... it's the same thing, understand?"
Adam Lambert's a smart guy -- despite the fact that he's openly gay, he's still giving the ladies a shot at a steamy make-out session.
Lambert's revelation came at the end of last night's 20/20 interview. For all those ladies wanting to lock lips with their "American Idol" all it takes is a "couple of drinks."
Poor "American Idol" loser Clay Aiken. He's had to endure countless questions about his sexual preference. At a concert earlier this year, Clay thought it'd be a good idea to give his fans a treat by singing Madonna's "Like A Virgin". Not gay at all!
Aiken now takes it to another level with his homage to JT. Ladies and gentlemen, we give you "Sexy Back." Aikenified.
Who knew? Our spies caught the pair at Orso restaurant in Los Angeles on Wednesday night. Well actually, our spies first spotted Ross Mathews sitting alone having some drinks while patiently waiting for his gal pal. When G finally arrived, the pair were like two high school girls giggling up a storm.
Paltrow and her pal met four years ago when Ross was sent to London on assignment for "The Tonight Show." He interviewed Gwyneth, they went shopping for posh duds and have been friends ever since.
One thing our informant pointed out, "Ross looked amazing!" The witty and charming intern can be seen on VH1's Celebrity Fit Club -- our guess is he's lost at least 30 pounds. Way to go, gurl! But if you wanna keep it off while waiting for your friends, try water -- alcohol can sure add the lbs.!
You haven't asked for it, you probably don't want it, but here it is. It's the all new Bobby Trendy Doll, sorta. Brought to you by the self-obsessed, self-proclaimed, self-promoting glamour diva himself, Bobby Whatshisname! The taffeta and tulle-wrapped flashy boy doll is not yet in stores -- and we're not actually sure that it ever will be -- but with this Trendy, it's safe to say that anything's possible. A vampy revamped Bratz doll poses as the mock-up of the wannabe Bobby doll, and is featured on Trendy's MySpace page. Probably not anatomically correct (the doll).
The garish designer's page says that he's 18 years old and that he's 6'3". This is the type of fantasy play that's just right for dollies! Ummm, 18 years old--er than who? Elton John? And 6'3"? Only in those two-foot platforms, gurl!
From a playground to the gay ground, Britney Spears continues to astound.
Party mom Britney started the weekend by taking son Sean Preston to a park in Beverly Hills for some quality mother/son time, playing around on the slides and pushing the kiddo on the swings. Is time with her quality? Once playtime was over, Spears shifted into partying overdrive by heading to popular gay hangout The Abbey in West Hollywood, where she spent the evening with new boytoy Isaac Cohen.
Sin City was Brit's last stop on her non-stop weekend partying, where, according to EXTRA's Las Vegas Bureau, she began the evening at the new hotspot Social House inside Treasure Island, where her and a group of six friends took in some fine fish and dessert.
From there, Brit headed over to the provocative Cirque de Soleil show "Zumanity." Once the group finished the show, Brit was just getting started. She made her way to the tourist trap Coyote Ugly bar inside the New York New York hotel and casino, where the pop tart was coaxed into dancing on the bar with the bartenders. After working up a sweat at Coyote, it was off to ultimate Vegas hotspot Pure, where Britney and pals danced on the VIP main stage to the wee hours of the morning.
Although Marilyn Manson, formerly Brian Warner, reminds us of the kid that was tormented in school for his nerdy appearance, he didn't play one on TV. The actual actor was Josh Saviano. You might also remember Josh from his TV movie, "Camp Cucamonga." Or not. Either way, this legend is as made up as Manson.
Mick Jagger and David Bowie in the Sack!
Legend is that David Bowie's wife caught him in bed with Mick Jagger.
David and Mick were dancing in the sheets, or at least just passed out naked when Angela Bowie walked in on the two. Angela went on the Joan Rivers show to dish on her ex-marriage, just after a ten-year silence agreement had expired. She got cold feet at first when Joan and fellow guest Howard Stern starting digging for the goods. Eventually, she spilled the beans. She later reneged on the issue of bisexual implications, saying that the two were asleep and just happened to be naked. She later claimed that she believed what everyone else assumed. So, according to David Bowie's ex-wife, this legend is no myth.
Neil Patrick Harris and boyfriend David Burtka spent Sunday afternoon out and about running errands. The actors and their dogs picked up some veggies and flowers at a market in Los Angeles ... looks like a plan for a romantic dinner at home.
Just days after coming out to PEOPLE magazine, "Grey's Anatomy" star T.R. Knight was spotted with fellow hunky actor Luke MacFarlane, causing chatter that the two may be more than just friends. Knight and MacFarlane, who plays a gay character on ABC's "Brothers & Sisters," were seen getting cozy yesterday in Santa Monica. The two went shopping for furniture and electronics before taking a break to enjoy the beautiful ocean view.
The last few weeks have been a little tense for Knight and the rest of the "Grey's" cast after the behind the scenes drama involving Isaiah Washington and Patrick Dempsey erupted. Some reports of the incident claim that Dempsey was defending T.R. against hateful comments made by Washington.
Whatever may have caused the fight, it's good to see T.R. enjoying the simple things in life.
