Karen Klein to School Bus Bully Kids: Apology NOT Accepted!

Karen Klein, the now famous school bus bullying victim , says she does NOT accept the apologies offered by two of the Greece, N.Y., kids whose taunts drove her to tears. Klein, 68, has said she will not press charges or pursue any action against the terrible teenagers, claiming she feels sorry for them and their parents. Accepting yesterday’s apologies from the bullies , however? Not happening. Asked if she forgives the children who harassed her in light of the statements issued on Friday, she says, “Not really,” and simply adds “I think they can do better.” Two of the devil children wrote the bus monitor letters after the video went viral this week and their 10-minute verbal torture session of the woman was exposed. Klein also got a letter from the parents of a boy who participated. She and her daughter say they’re not ready to forgive , though, given what she went through. Klein also has a few suggestions about how the kids should be punished, including bans from both riding the bus and sports at school for a year or more. Considering what she endured, that could be considered lenient. Watch the video that started it all after the jump … Making the School Bus Monitor Cry The kids, whose names we are not posting here, have reportedly been the targets of death threats and harassment themselves since this broke. Regarding the HUGE donations she’s received from sympathetic Internet users, Karen Klein is nearly speechless – a windfall of $550,000 will do that. She plans to donate much of it right back into charities supporting both Down Syndrome and autism. There’s your silver lining to the above awfulness.

Catelynn Lowell: I’m Not Pregnant!

Catelynn Lowell has cleared the air, once and for all, that she’s not pregnant. Which we already knew, but now there’s a new magazine cover to prove it! According to Us Weekly, which reports the ultimate non-story below, the Teen Mom star is “hurt” by rumors that she was pregnant again last week. The reality star tells the celeb gossip mag that it “wouldn’t be fair” to her daughter Carly, whom she gave up for adoption, to have another so fast. Catelynn and Tyler Baltierra graduated on this week’s Teen Mom, and the young lovers / step-siblings say they are planning a fairy tale wedding for next year. They hope Carly, who they’ve worked hard to maintain a relationship with after making the decision to allow someone to adopt her, will be there too. Here’s hoping she will, and that Tyler and Cate make good on their plans to continue their education so they’re better prepared to support baby #2! If she ever lacks for inspiration as far as formulating a life plan, she need not go far. All she needs to do is look at Amber Portwood and do the opposite.

‘Breaking Dawn’ Trailer: Where Is Renesmee?

New clip gives fans a precious — though tantalizingly brief — glimpse at the newest member of the Cullen family. By Kara Warner Kristen Stewart in ‘Breaking Dawn – Part 2’ Photo: So how about that new “Twilight: Breaking Dawn- Part 2” trailer ? Now that we’ve watched it a few dozen times, we can take a step back to analyze our favorite moments. First, how great is it to finally get a glimpse of all those other vampires we’ve been talking about? Finally a first look at Garrett the nomad, played by the divine Lee Pace, as well as Benjamin, Irina and a few others. But there’s one character we wish we saw a little bit more of: Renesmee. Not that we blame Summit and Co. for waiting to reveal more of little Mackenzie Foy-as-Renesmee closer to the film’s release, but it would have been nice to see her in action with her parents, interacting with the other Cullens or playing with Jacob. The moments that we do get to see are very sweet. Fans around the world have been expressing their delight over one scene in particular: when Bella is putting her daughter to bed and tells her “I’ll never let anybody hurt you.” “The way vampire Bella looks at Renesmee reminds me of Edwards quote from Twilight… ‘You are my life now’ :’),” one Mackenzie Foy fan tweeted . A fellow fan called the moment “10 seconds of perfection.” In addition to the high praise from fans, that tender moment between mother and daughter has already been given the GIF treatment on several Tumblr blogs. With all this love for the happy family and that precocious young lady Renesmee, we surely hope we’ll get to see more of her in the next trailer.

‘Breaking Dawn’ Trailer: Edward And Bella Go To War

War comes to the Cullen clan in brand-new teaser trailer for ‘Breaking Dawn – Part 2.’ By Josh Wigler Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in “Breaking Dawn – Part 2” Photo: Renesmee Cullen is not an immortal child — but that’s not stopping the Volturi from coming her way. The impending clash between the Cullens and the Volturi is very much at the center of the newest “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2” teaser trailer, which finally dropped on Tuesday, just in time for Edward Cullen’s 111th birthday. But he better blow those candles out quickly, because war is most certainly on the horizon. All is well, if different, when the “Breaking Dawn” teaser begins. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) is a vampire now after the events of the most recent “Twilight” film, opening up new experiences and powers for her to discover. “After 18 years of being utterly ordinary, I finally found I could shine,” Bella says in the trailer. “I was born to be a vampire.” “You’re so beautiful,” Robert Pattinson’s Edward tells his newly fanged wife. “We’re the same temperature now.” Even Jacob (Taylor Lautner) is pleasantly surprised upon seeing Bella’s transformation, admitting: “I didn’t expect you to seem so … you. ” But the happy gathering is short-lived as Irina of the Denali Coven approaches the Volturi to report a crime. “The Cullens have done something terrible,” she lies, leading them to believe that Edward and Bella’s newborn daughter is an immortal child — a form of vampire that the Volturi believe is far too powerful to be left alive. “Maintaining our secret has never been more imperative,” they decide. With one little falsehood, Irina has convinced the Volturi to embark upon the wrongful murder of an innocent child. “If enough people knew the truth, perhaps we could get the Volturi to listen,” suggests Carlisle (Peter Facinelli) in his typically level-headed manner. But reason won’t be enough, as he and the others know, leading Bella, Edward, Jacob and the rest to start gathering allies for the coming conflict. No matter the danger that threatens her daughter’s life, however, Bella knows one thing for sure: “I’m never going to let anything hurt you,” she tells Renesmee in an all-too-brief sighting of Mackenzie Foy as the fan-favorite character at the trailer’s conclusion. Director Bill Condon’s “Breaking Dawn – Part 2” lands in theaters on November 16. What do you think of the new “Twilight” teaser trailer? Tell us in the comments below!

Teen Mom Recap: Oh, The Places You Won’t Go

Teen Mom continued its depressing final season last night by delving deeper into the struggles of the fab four we know, love, love to hate, and sympathize with. It’s a very complicated relationship … something they all know plenty about. Come along for THG’s +/- recap! Catelynn and Tyler receive their caps and gowns for the big graduation. Plus 20 for these two. They’ve battled through a lot and deserve due credit. Especially since that rumor that Tyler got Catelynn Lowell pregnant again is false. Tyler wonders if Butch will be able to attend … does he really want that? Minus 5 . Poor kid. Talk about being dealt a bad hand but playing it well. Maci surprisingly agrees to let Bentley go with Ryan Edwards’ family on vacation. Ryan surprisingly agrees to let Maci come too … with girlfriends. Plus 5 . Spoiler alert: There’s no way that’s going to end well. None. Take it to the bank. Farrah’s dad moves her stuff to Florida, then notes that he’d consider moving there too if he could get a job. Farrah? Not happy with this. Minus 17 . Amber Portwood calls Gary Shirley to find out if he and Leah are coming out to visit in rehab. He tells her it’s up to the courts. Weak. Minus 14 . Catelynn’s dad and brother came up for graduation, but sadly Butch won’t be out of jail until the following Monday. #TeenMomProblems. Minus 6 . They hung out with friends to discuss college plans. It’s amazing they’re even thinking about it, and says a lot about the merits of adoption. Plus 12 . Farrah starts interviewing part-time nannies for Sophia, to be paid for by who knows what. Then she hangs up on her mom after a fight. Minus 5 . Is it just us or is Farrah seeming awfully bratty and entitled these days for a girl who gets everything she wants as it is? Just an observation really. Maci Bookout, just to really cover her bases, goes over to Ryan’s parents’ to make sure they’re okay with her coming down to the beach as well. They are completely fine with it. Relations thawing! Plus 10 . Amber’s counselor pleads with her that she should not get involved with Gary again, because they have a toxic relationship. Best advice ever. Plus 10 . But you know she doesn’t take any advice, so Minus 30 . After Farrah’s dad dejectedly headed home, she took Sophia to the pet store. Even though Sophia told her she wanted a fish, they got a puppy. Minus 4 . The dog takes five minutes to start defiling things. Minus 4 . Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra graduate!!!!!! They were the stars of the season premiere and continue to be the lone bright spot this week. Plus 35 . Maci had her friends talk about Ryan’s new girlfriend and the maternity pictures still up in his parents’ house. It’s an awkward situation to be sure. Gary and Leah are actually going to meet Amber the next day. Plus 10 for him making the effort, but knowing what we do, it’s hard to be hopeful. We harp on Maci and Farrah and their respective problems, but when you choose prison over your kid , as Amber did, you’ve really got issues. Minus 20 . EPISODE TOTAL: +3. SEASON TOTAL: -76.

Adam Carolla: Women Aren’t Funny!

Adam Carolla, a comedian best known for The Man Show and whose career has sunk to a point where he appeared this year on Celebrity Apprentice , is in serious hot water for comments made to The New York Post . Simply put, Carolla told the newspaper that women are not funny. “They make you hire a certain number of chicks, and they’re always the least funny on the writing staff,” Carolla said of Hollywood. ‘The reason why you know more funny dudes than funny chicks is that dudes are funnier than chicks. If my daughter has a mediocre sense of humor, I’m just gonna tell her, ‘Be a staff writer for a sitcom. Because they’ll have to hire you, they can’t really fire you, and you don’t have to produce that much. It’ll be awesome.'” Was Carolla worried about backlash when he made this statement? No, he added. “When you’re picking a basketball team, you’ll take the brother over the guy with the yarmulke. Why? Because you’re playing the odds. When it comes to comedy, of course there’s Sarah Silverman, Tina Fey, Kathy Griffin – super-funny chicks. But if you’re playing the odds? No. “If Joy Behar or Sherri Shepherd was a dude, they’d be off TV. They’re not funny enough for dudes. What if Roseanne Barr was a dude? Think we’d know who she was? Honestly.” Of course, the backlash came instantly… and humorously, largely from female comedians. To wit, via Twitter: Lena Dunham : “Wait, Adam Carolla, is he the one who did the voice of the parrot in Aladdin??? He makes me giggle.” Jenny Johnson : “The biggest impact this whole Adam Carolla scandal has had is discovering 95% of people have no idea how to spell ‘Carolla.” Danielle Corsetto : “In an ironic twist, ‘women aren’t funny’ ranked number one funniest thing Adam Carolla has ever said.” Molly McAleer : “I don’t take Adam Carolla saying women aren’t funny seriously. He once told a caller on Loveline to eat a used tampon, y’know?” Which gender do YOU think is funnier?

Charles Tillman, Chicago Bears Cornerback, Rips Teacher Over Disrespectful Math Question

Chicago Bears cornerback Charles “Peanut” Tillman did not take kindly to learning that a Windy City-area girl’s teacher was disrespecting his team in a math problem. Tillman was recently supporting his Cornerstone Foundation at a sporting goods store. He received an autograph request from the daughter of the store’s owner. The teenager was doing her math homework at the time, and showed him one of the problems given to her by her teacher, John Amrein of Round Lake Middle School. The problem did not sit well with Tillman. “The Packers play the Bears 4 times in two seasons. The Packers, being a much better team, have an 80% chance of winning each game,” the question read. Ouch. Given that assumption, “What is the probability that the Bears win all four games? What is the probability that the Bears win at least one game?” Tillman did give the autograph to the girl, but he also wrote a note to the teacher in question, calling him out for bashing the team. He wrote: Mr. Armein, This is Charles “Peanut” Tillman of the Chicago Bears and I’m shocked that you would have a problem like this for your students. The probability that the Bears would win in my opinion is 100%. Please do not and I repeat DO NOT send them home with math homework that is disrespectful to our team, city and our beloved Chicago Bears. Your All Pro Corner Charles “Peanut” Tillman 33 Geaux Bears P.S. Bear Down NOTE : The Packers have won seven of their last 10 vs. the Bears, including the last four in a row, so Mr. Amrein does have a point from an empirical standpoint.

Larry Birkhead Continues Rampant Exploitation of Daughter, Death of Anna Nicole Smith

Larry Birkhead appeared on Good Morning America today to answer a couple of burning questions: How has he explained the death of Anna Nicole Smith to the former couple’s five-year old daughter, Dannielynn? Is he truly the most despicable parent on the planet? Based on yet another instance of Birkhead milking Smith’s death for attention and money, it would be hard to answer inquiry number-two in anything but the affirmative (despite the best efforts of Taylor Armstrong ), as Birkhead told viewers how he responded when Dannielynn asks about her mother. “I said, ‘You know, they, doctors couldn’t fix her. But if you’re good … you’ll get to see her someday.’” Smith, a very troubled actress/model, was found dead in a Florida hotel room on February 8, 2007. Birkhead has spent every few months since parading his cute daughter in front of reporters and giving the world updates on a child we all just wish could live a regular life, out of the spotlight. But Larry insists on making Dannielynn a public figure… and then acting shocked when she’s in the news. Such as when he dragged her last month to the Kentucky Derby. “You know, it’s weird when your child is five years old and trending,” the moron told Robin Roberts this morning. “There’s all these big stars that came and the next thing you know Dannielynn’s picture is all over the place.” Overall, Birkhead says “it’s hard to move on.” Why? “Because you have this little 47-pound reminder of her mother walking around. And you have all these images that are still so much very alive that you have to deal with every day. “I want to keep Anna’s image alive in a positive way. She could light up a room. And now her daughter’s taken her place and she’s lighting up every room that she goes into, trust me. I feel it every day.”
