Apology

JULIANNE HOUGH: NO APOLOGIES NECESSARY!

What’s WRONG with these people on Twitter who thought Julianne Hough’s Halloween costume was “Insensitive” and “in bad taste?” They called it “blackface.” Are they nuts? Julianne actually APOLOGIZED for dressing up as the character “Crazy Eyes from the Netflix series “Orange is the New Black.” What’s insulting about the fact that she wore dark makeup to look like actress Uzo Aduba’s memorable character? This is taking political correctness to absurd extremes. It’s funny, not mean.

LEAVE PAULA DEEN ALONE!

Okay. That’s enough. Paula Deen has been “punished” more than sufficiently for her verbal blunder. Now that Wal-Mart has dropped her, we’re starting to feel sorry for the woman. We’ve never been a fan of that kind of cooking, and we were not happy about her concealed diabetes and deal with the drug company. Her accent gets on our nerves. But this is a free country and people say stupid things sometimes. We didn’t like what happened to Mel Gibson (another non-favorite of ours) and Paula is being condemned with the same ferocity. She was WRONG, but a sincere apology should be enough. Get over it and stop being so vindictive.

WHATEVER YOU DO, DON’T CALL MARK WAHLBERG AN “ACTOR”

Mark Wahlberg seems to have a real identity problem. Who he IS and who he THINKS he is, are miles apart. He apologized to the victims of 9/11 and their families after he offhandedly bragged that if HE were on the terrorist plane he would have done a better job of seizing the plane and would have landed safely. When it was pointed out that this was very insulting to the heroes and victims of 9/11, he lamely apologized by defending his comment: “I’m not an actor – I’m a real guy from the streets and I’ve been in a lot of situations” Excuse US, but Mark is a long way from the “streets.” Wahlberg has appeared in 29 movies, he lives in a ten million dollar plus mansion in a private community, and he MARRIED a supermodel. He’s far from being a street kid, and now we think ACTORS should be asking for an apology.

ELIN NORDEGREN: DO THE RIGHT THING

We were delighted to hear that Elin Nordegren has no intention of appearing with her husband Tiger Woods tomorrow when he makes his “speech.” At LAST, a wife with the backbone to refuse to stand by her man when he is SOOO wrong. Too many wives meekly lurk “supportively” beside their disgraced mates when the guys make insincere public apologies simply because they got caught. We’ve seen evangelist’s wives and political wives (yes Hillary, we mean YOU) do it, and it’s a step BACK for feminism. Pretending to support a louse makes the wife seem as dishonest as the husband. Forgive him in private, but do NOT support him in public! Don’t disappoint us, Elin!
