Damage Control: TV Station Apologizes To Julie Chen For News Director Saying She Looked Too Asian

Better late than never. TV Station Apologizes To Julie Chen This was wrong on so many levels. Glad too see the station taking responsibility and apologizing. According to Mail Online An Ohio television station has issued an apology to CBS reality show host Julie Chen after she revealed that she had undergone surgery to look ‘less Asian’ in response to remarks from her then-news director. Chen, 43, best known as the presenter of the Big Brother show, made the admission on The Talk Wednesday, describing how as a young reporter, she was told by her supervisor at WDTN-TV in Dayton that she would never be an anchor because she looked too Chinese. The same sentiment was echoed some time later by a talent agent, who told Chen that her eyes were too small and inexpressive. Chen’s revelations sparked an outcry online, prompting the management of WDTN to release a statement apologizing to the TV personality for the comments made by a news director at the station nearly two decades earlier. ‘We are sorry to hear about what happened to CBS’ Julie Chen in 1995 when she was a reporter at WDTN-TV,’ Joe Abouzeid, the station’s president and general manager, stated. ‘The station was under different management and ownership during that time. At WDTN and WBDT, we don’t tolerate racism or discrimination of any kind.’ Do you believe their apology is sincere? Continue reading

My name is Michelle, I’m 14 years old and I’m from…

My name is Michelle, I’m 14 years old and I’m from Germany. It  was 7 June, it was a Thursday.  I went with my two friends, Laura & Sheila,   to Cologne to see Justin at Germany’s Next Top Model.  We had tickets for the show, but actually we were  only there because of Justin.   He performed ‘ Boyfriend’  and we all freaked out . He sang so incredibly well and we were so excited. We gave all our best and screamed with all our voice. After his appearance, I cried. I’ve seen him live. He was just feet away from me.  After Germany’s Next Top Model Justin was being interviewed. W e ended up just climbing over the barrier, no one could stop us.  We squeezed into the first row and then there was Justin. He came onto the runway and talked with the presenter.  We all screamed, cried and freaked out.  After 10 minutes, the interview was over and Justin began to sign autographs. He came closer to me.  Tears ran down my cheeks and my heart was pounding like crazy. He signed me an autograph, gave me his wonderful smile, looked into my eyes and I touched his arm . The girls next to me cried, “Omg, omg, she touched him, omg!” And I has cried “Omg, his arm is so sweet! Omg! I can’t believe it!”  He was directly in front of me, more like 20 cm away. I never expected that I would be so close to him. This all come true because I always  Never Say Never  & always  believed in my dreams.   This was the best day in my whole life.  I hope he comes back soon to visit us in Germany.   Read more here: My name is Michelle, I’m 14 years old and I’m from…

My Bieber experience began at 6am. I was running off of 4 hours…

My Bieber experience began at 6am. I was running off of 4 hours sleep, as I was at my friend’s birthday the night before. My wonderful mum drove me to the airport without knowing any confirmation about his arrival time and where he was coming from exactly. We waited at the airport until 9 and there was no sign of him. We drove back home, then came back at 11. There were no girls anywhere. I asked all these security guards if they knew anything but they were all saying different things. I didn’t even know if he was in Melbourne or not. I decided to go to the Langham Hotel because of rumors that he would be staying there. There were quite a few girls camping out. I had asked a photographer that was there whether or not he knew if/when Justin would be coming. He said that it would be either here or the Olsen. After waiting for a while, I then decided to head to the Olsen. My mum and I parked the car in a car-park across the road from the hotel. I had spotted Moshe (white Kenny) entering the restaurants cafe. I ran across the road (it was a red light idgaf) and walked into the hotel. I was surprisingly calm as I walked in. Justin wasn’t in the restaurant although his crew were seated at a table eating lunch (Allison, Scrappy, Dan, Alfredo, Kenny, Vanessa). They were all looking at me weirdly except for Alfredo, he smiled . My mum and I then sat down at a table that was opposite of theirs, literally 1 meter away. I was building up the courage to ask one of the crew members for a photo and hopefully if i could see Justin. I asked Dan and I think he said after. Anyway I didn’t want to bother them so I just sat and watched quietly. Then out of no where, I hear a voice say, “Wassup.” It was Justin and Selena also followed along with Moshe. He was so close to me. He sat down at the table opposite me and I was dying, like dying, like DEAD. I didn’t know what to do. I was going to ask for a photo but he had got up. When he walked past me I said, “Hey can I get a ph-” and he said “Hi, how are you?” and he touched my arm.  I then followed him outside as he went to take photos with fans . I am so lucky that I got a photo with him as he only took about five. It was very brief. I then followed him back inside as he continue to eat his lunch and I was just in awe, sitting so close being able to hear his voice. He then had to go back to his room. That’s not the end. My mum booked a room for the night. I was staying in the same hotel as JUSTIN BIEBER. I had a plan to bump into him but the hotel security was SO annoying. We bumped into his crew quite a few times except we didn’t see him that way. We also went down to the car park. Hotel security was telling us that we had to go and we weren’t allowed there. We could see Justin’s car right in front of us. We kept stalling hoping we would see him again. Soon enough the lift opened and out walked Justin and Selena. I couldn’t believe it. He looked so hot! Although they had to go to their car, I didn’t really get to talk to him. It was so amazing though and I loved every moment of it. I will never forget this experience. We also went in a lift with Kenny and I got a photo with Moshe. Justin came out again to say hey to his fans and it was great to get another glimpse of him .
