Mark Wahlberg is continuing to walk back his recent comments about September 11, saying he made a mistake but attempting to put it in some context. In the latest issue of Men’s Journal , the actor said that he would have handled things differently had he been on one of the planes downed by terrorists. Wahlberg’s 9/11 comments were widely criticized and he quickly apologized. Speaking to Kidd Kraddick in the Morning on Friday, he explained it as such: “I would never disrespect the victims of 9/11 or their families. It was misunderstood. My only intention was to explain that I would do anything to protect my family – I would put myself in harms way to protect my family or innocent people.” “That was it. First and foremost, I am not speaking as an actor.” “I am a real guy from the streets and I’ve been in a lot of situations, so I was very out of line and I wasn’t thinking about the real heroes and the guys, women, children, fathers, sons, daughters who were on those flights.” This came up because Wahlberg was initially booked on one of the flights hijacked out of Boston on 9/11/01, before serendipitously moving his flight. “If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn’t have went down like it did,” he told the magazine. “There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, ‘OK, we’re going to land somewhere safely, don’t worry.'” His comments greatly offended some victims of 9/11. “People are much more vigilant now than they were on 9/11,” Mary Shetchet, a spokesperson for the support group Voices Of 9/11, explained. “10 years later it easy to say you would have responded differently.”

‘We Found Love’ singer will join band for ‘Princess of China.’ By Gil Kaufman Rihanna Photo: WireImage Rihanna and Coldplay will perform live together for the first time on February 12 when they take the stage at the 54th annual Grammy Awards for the televised debut of their Mylo Xyloto collaboration, “Princess of China.” Rihanna, nominated for four Grammys this year, broke the news on Twitter , writing, “My friends @ColdPlay and I will be sharing the stage for a performance at this years Annual Grammy Awards!” A short time later she added, “WE reached 2BILLION views on @youtube !!! THANK U!!! I’m in a great mood, and I got some GREAT NEWS!!! PRINCESS OF CHINA #GRAMMYS2012.” The show, which will be hosted by rapper LL Cool J , will also feature a performance by rock icon Paul McCartney, who will join a lineup that already includes Grammy nominees Foo Fighters, Kelly Clarkson, Bruno Marks, Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift and Jason Aldean. At the time Xyloto was released , Coldplay singer Chris Martin explained that the decision to invite another voice into the studio was made because of the unusual story arc of the band’s Grammy-nominated album. “Her bit on our record is my favorite bit. … When the song came out, it sort of asked for her to be on it. And I think at this point, we have nothing to lose, and so we’ve been trying some new things and trying to break down the perceived boundaries between different types of music,” Martin told MTV News. “Our new record is sort of a story; it’s not quite a musical, but it’s dangerously close. There’s a bit of a love-story thread, so we really needed someone to sing even higher than me,” Martin said. “[It’s] hard, but very possible. You need to be a female really. For all [drummer] Will [Champion]’s good intentions, he [can’t do it] … “… So, in like a dream scenario, we had a song that I’d secretly kind of written to see if Rihanna would want to sing it,” Martin continued. “And then the rest of the band wanted to keep it, so we came up with the idea of asking her to sing it with us, and, to our great surprise, she said OK.” More Grammy performers and presenters will be announced in the coming weeks.

‘I deeply apologize to the families of the victims.’ By Gil Kaufman Mark Wahlberg Photo: FilmMagic After a controversial interview in the February issue of Men’s Journal magazine went viral this week, “Contraband” star Mark Wahlberg issued an apology on Wednesday for suggesting that he might have changed the course of history on the day of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks. In the interview, Wahlberg — who was scheduled to be on the flight from Boston to Los Angeles that morning which ended up crashing into one of the World Trade Center towers — said that if he had been there things might have turned out differently. “If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn’t have went down like it did,” said Wahlberg, 40, who ended up taking a private charter plane earlier in the week and avoiding the flight that was overtaken by terrorists. “There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, ‘OK, we’re going to land somewhere safely, don’t worry.'” Excerpts for the interview made their way online on Wednesday and TMZ reported that the Deena Burnett-Bailey, the widow of a 9/11 victim who was killed on United Airlines flight 93 when it crashed in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania after terrorists tried to divert it to Washington, D.C., called the comments “disrespectful.” A short time later, Wahlberg issued his apology. “To speculate about such a situation is ridiculous to begin with, and to suggest I would have done anything differently than the passengers on that plane was irresponsible,” said Wahlberg in a statement. Burnett-Bailey’s husband called her from the flight that was overtaken by four al Qeada terrorists and later crashed after several passengers tried to regain control of the aircraft. “I deeply apologize to the families of the victims that my answer came off as insensitive, it was certainly not my intention.” Related Videos MTV Rough Cut: Mark Wahlberg
Chris Hemsworth has a very busy 2012 in front of him. The actor will play a key role in the summer blockbuster The Avengers and has also now confirmed that he’s expecting his first child with wife Elsa Pataky. The actors got married in December 2010 and, according to their rep, are “delighted and very excited” to become parents. “Having the person that you love by your side and starting a family with them is the best thing that can happen to you in this life. You can’t ask for more,” Pataky tells
If only Mark Wahlberg were on one of the planes hijacked on September 11, 2001. We don’t mean that to suggest that we wish Mark were dead – that’s precisely the point! In an interview with Men’s Journal , the Contraband star claims that if he were on board that fateful day, the storyline would’ve been much different. “If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn’t have went down like it did,” he says. He’s not speaking metaphorically, he’s apparently serious. Mark adds: “There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, ‘OK, we’re going to land this somewhere safely, don’t worry.'” Presumably, he’s kidding. He can’t think he would have been able to fight off multiple hijackers and land a plane single-handedly. We hope. But the question remains. Is this kind of boast insulting to the dead passengers and their families? Especially those on Flight 93, who basically died to protect others? UPDATE: Wahlberg has apologized, saying: “To suggest I would have done anything differently than the passengers on that plane was irresponsible. I deeply apologize to the families of the victims that my answer came off as insensitive. It was certainly not my intention.” [Photo: WENN.com]
My name’s Adriana. I’m 14 from Australia and I have Cystic Fibrosis and Diabetes. In the month of March, I was at the doctors when my social worker approached me about making a wish through Make-a-Wish before it’s to late. I thought it was a really good idea and I was really excited about making a wish because I really already knew what I wanted. My social worker gave me the forms to fill out and my wish was to go to the Justin Bieber concert and meet him . Two weeks later, my wish was approved and I had to wait if I could get the tickets and all that. On the 27th of April they called me to tell me that they got me the tickets but couldn’t get backstage to meet him . I was disappointed that I wasn’t able to meet him but I was ecstatic that I was going to his concert with my best friend Yianna to see our idol perform the next day. That night we both couldn’t sleep. I had school on the day of the concert and the hours seemed to drag on FOREVER. But the day finally came to an end Yianna came over to get ready to go, we were basically bouncing of the walls with excitement. The concert was absolutely flawless, he was amazing, everything I could have imagined, the concert was more than enough to make me feel special. I thought that was my wish granted & over with, but I got a call about a month later telling me that if I was happy to wait that at some time at the end of the year I would be sent to meet him where ever he was at the time and of course I was more than happy to wait. About 5 months later, I remember the date (September 4th at around 11 am) I got a call from Make-a-Wish. Our conversation was going smoothly as any other phone call and she suddenly asks me, “Adriana what are you and your family doing in November?” I was stunned and told her simply I was doing nothing and she told me, “Well, we’re sending you and your family over to New York to meet Justin Bieber!” Right then and there I started bawling my eyes out with happiness, I was probably the most excited girl in the world. I was told I was leaving on the 14th of November exactly 72 days after the phone call and that I’d be staying in New York for the week at the Roosevelt Hotel. On Novemeber 14th we made our way to the airport to make it to our flight off to New York, we were all so excited, but the flight from Sydney to L.A was so long around 16 hours. Then another 6 hours from L.A to New York. We finally made it, New York City, it was absolutely beautiful, we arrived at the hotel at around 9.30 pm and we were all exhausted. We spent the first 4 days in New York sight seeing, shopping and getting ready for the big day. The night before meeting Justin was hectic, I hadn’t bought anything to wear and I started to freak out. So my older sister and I went shopping on 5th avenue and we went into almost every single shop finding clothes and shoes and accessories to wear. I finally found the perfect outfit and we got back to the hotel at around 10.30 after about 4 hours of shopping. That night I couldn’t sleep. Friday the 18th November finally came. It was the day I would finally meet my hero, my inspiration, the boy who taught me to live my dream and never give up. I got up at around 6 am so I could get ready and so my sister could do my hair and make-up. My family and I were finally ready by 7 am and we made our way down to the arcade with 29 other Make-a-Wish families to catch the coaches to The Hardrock Cafe in Times Square. While we were on the bus we had to write down one question to ask Justin. There were so many young girls, I was probably the oldest one there and we all felt so special. We got into the cafe and Never Say Never was playing on the big screen and there were cameras and lights set up everywhere, the stage was lit up and there were two rows of chairs right at the front for all the Make-a-Wish kids to sit in. We all were seated and our photo was taken and the all these other people started arriving, I was looking around for anyone I would recognize. Like Pattie or Kenny. Then I spotted the back door open and Kenny and Alfredo came through it, I was actually so shocked to see them because everything came even more real. I sat there with my mouth open just staring at both of them, and Alfredo obviously saw me because he smiled at me. After about another half an hour of waiting, the Make-a-Wish ambassador came onto the stage to talk to us and then greet the other hosts. Our other hosts were DJ Toro and DJ Lil Cee off of 92.3 FM NOW. They were so nice and funny the spoke to us and then they introduced Justin to the stage. As soon as I saw the curtain rise and Justin appear and I again started crying with happiness. Justin came out and started speaking to all of us and he also gets presented with the Make-A-Wish Chris Gracius award for all his Charity work. It all seemed so surreal. After receiving the award the hosts started reading out our questions for Justin to answer. My question was, “You’re an inspiration to millions, how does it feel to be looked up to by so many people?” and he responded with “It’s really a blessing to be able to make such a positive influence on so many people and I’m really blessed to have this opportunity to make a change and I’m just glad to be helping charities like make-a-wish and pencils of promise and I want to use my fame for good and just really make a change. It also gives me chance to do things like meet all you guys and just make you smile” and we all smiled and he goes “there are this beautiful smiles I love to see”. It was so sweet and then there was this gorgeous 8 year old girl, I’m not to sure what she had but she asked if Justin could give her a piggy back & so Justin brought her up on stage and gave her a piggy back around the stage, it was honestly the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. After he got off stage we all sat around together and all of us Make-a-Wish kids became friends, swapped our Facebooks and Twitters. Then the time came to actually go meet him and get photos. I was honestly so nervous yet I was so excited to meet him. My name was called and I was sent in to meet Justin . I walked in and the first thing he said to me was, “Hi sweetheart! How are you?” I was so speechless I could hardly get my words out but I managed to say “I’m good thanks oh, how are you?” and he replied “I’m great,” he then hugged me and we started taking photos . After our single photos were taken my family came in and he greeted them all and asked them how they were and I stood there thinking “How down to earth and real is he? And that he actually cares about us”. After that I said thank you and we like hugged and he said thank you and I left the meet and greet room and I broke down in tears again. Knowing that he knows that I exist and that I was acknowledged by him for five minutes was more than I could have ever of asked. He is absolutely beautiful, real and down to earth and that day he made mine and 29 other girls dreams come true is absolutely incredible. Him just being him and making all of us feel normal and feel like there’s nothing wrong with us would probably be such a gratifying feeling, he really did make a change and that day he really did make me feel like that dreams do come true and to never say never. He made me feel so special by just saying a few words to me and taking photos. And that was more than I could ever ask for. It was truly an amazing experience and it puts a smile on my face knowing that I got to experience this with my family and that I got to meet my idol , my dream. Justin is a big part of my life, I listen to him every night and I listen to him just before I go into hospital and his music inspires me and him and his music has gotten me through so many rough patches in my life and people find it hard to believe that this one boy could do that for me but believe it or not he does . That day he made me feel so normal and so special just for a few hours and I will forever be grateful to him and make-a-wish. I thank Justin, Make-a-wish, my family and god for this beautiful experience and I feel like I owe them so much. So I really again want to say thank you to Justin. And I hope all of you reading this, and Justin and mybieberexperience can follow me @jdbimagineswag on twitter. R emember my dream came true so don’t think yours can’t because I’m from Sydney Australia and my wish came true so don’t ever think yours can’t. Just remember Never Say Never. – Adriana Read more here: My name’s Adriana. I’m 14 from Australia and I have…
