Ariana Grande Posts Lengthy Apology Video: Watch Here!

Ariana Grande is really, truly sorry. The singer – who has taken a fair share of criticism this week for saying she hates America while staring at a tray full of donuts – has posted a four-minute long video titled “Sorry Babes” in which she goes into detail with an apology for the “whole donut fiasco.” Grande was caught on camera slamming the country while inside a California bakery, an incident that took place after she licked a donut for one reason. After acknowledging that her initial apology missed the mark, Ariana goes on to say here: “All the advances we’ve made in the last couple of months, all the wonderful progressive things that have been going on – I’ve never been prouder of this country, actually. “But, yeah, here I am apologizing to y’all.” The singer artist on to admit: “Seeing a video of yourself behaving poorly that you had no idea was taken is such a rude awakening. It’s like you don’t know what to do. I was so disgusted with myself.” Since the America-bashing took place, stars such as Rob Lowe have come out and slammed Grande . At 22 years old, Grande admitted she still has “a lot to learn,” nearly breaking down into tears at various points. “I never want to be anything but a positive influence on my babes, or my loves, or anyone who pays attention to me… I feel like I let you all down, which sucks,” she concluded. “I’m just here to apologize, and tell you that I love you, and I appreciate being able to talk to you like this.”

Talkback: Who’s Willing to Fight for 35mm?

Few Tweeting, iPod-owning, Netflix-streaming, eternally online citizens of the 21st century would lament the advances and conveniences that digital gadgets and technologies afford, but what if you still love that which is made increasingly obsolete? In the film world, that widening gap stands between classic celluloid and digital projection; as studios like 20th Century Fox begin experimenting with digital-only distribution, where does that leave the folks who cherish the magic of watching films on, you know, film ?

Brett Favre Sacked By Sexual Harassment Lawsuit

Brett Favre really enjoyed his one season in New York. The NFL legend, who delivered his annual retirement speech Monday, is being sued by massage therapists Christina Scavo and Shannon O’Toole, who worked for the New York Jets in 2008. The franchise is also named in the lawsuit. This is unrelated to the $50,000 fine Brett received from the NFL last week in conjunction with the Jenn Sterger sexting / wang photo scandal. Maybe Brett can un-retire to pay for his legal fees . Scavo alleges that Favre sent lewd texts to her and treated her like a “hanging slab of meat” back in 2008, and that he proposed a three-way with her and another massage therapist, writing a text to the other woman about it no less. “Brett here, you and Crissy want to get together, I’m all alone,” he sexted, allegedly. Scavo claims that when she rejected the advances of the quarterback, her husband, Joseph Scavo, called him personally to demand an apology. Joseph Scavo said his wife then came under fire from her boss, Lisa Ripi, who hired the two women and who is also a defendant in the lawsuit . According to the suit, Scavo and Shannon O’Toole, who accuses Favre of similar behavior, were never offered work with the Jets again after that. Scavo and O’Toole’s attorney, Elizabeth Eilender, said her clients did not want to file a lawsuit, but felt they had no choice given their lost work. Representatives for Favre, whose legacy is taking quite a hit, were not available for comment. The NFL and the Jets had no comment either.

Lindsay Lohan to Gwyneth Paltrow: Come On!

Despite a sense of humor that’s spawned spoofs of herself on SNL and Funny or Die, Lindsay Lohan is deeply hurt by some people’s criticism these days. Just hours ago, we reported her apparent dissatisfaction with CNN calling her provocative . Now it’s Gwyneth Paltrow and Glee that have her in a tizzy. Paltrow recently appeared on Glee , playing a Spanish teacher teaching a lesson that included asking the class: “Lindsay Lohan is totally crazy, right?” I thought we were friends! FRIENDS! And, she then quizzed the class in Spanish, “How many times has Lindsay Lohan been to rehab?” Funny stuff, but predictably, Dina Lohan was pissed . Lindsay was watching the hit Fox show while in the Betty Ford Center and was devastated, and is “still so upset with Gwyneth,” her mom reports. “Lindsay said, ‘Why did she have to do that?’ Our family is the first to make fun of ourselves, but Gwyneth went overboard. It was unecessary.” This isn’t the first time she’s felt victimized. Lindsay claimed the stock trading company E*Trade violated her rights with its apparent mockery of her. The E*Trade case was settled in September, a month before Gwyneth’s stint on Glee . Although this won’t end in court, it certainly hurt a friendship . “Lindsay thought she was a friend and it was disappointing,” Dina told Radar Online . “It was really hard for her to watch… it was hurtful not funny.” Lindsay is expected to complete her rehabilitation at Betty Ford on January 3. Gwyneth will return to Glee in the same role. Hope LiLo can cope.
