Facebook is very, very sorry. The company has issued an apology to Courtney Stodden and reinstated her access after it had denied it for “inappropriate sexual conduct,” a fact that became public once her mother said Courtney is too sexy for Mark Zuckerberg’s creation. “This page was removed in error and has been restored,” Facebook said in a statement to E! News. “We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.” Inconvenience?!? The situation gave Stodden’s mom yet another chance to make headlines. She’ll probably send Facebook a muffin basket. “We’re happy that it was finally addressed, as I’m sure many others have dealt with similar abuse and didn’t know they could do anything about it,” Keller says, once again comparing this incident to actual bullying: “Putting a stop to cyber bullying is something Courtney is very involved in. She’s happy something was done!”

Diddy claims he “backslid and regressed” when he went on a tirade the other night, shouting racial and homophobic slurs at a clubgoer in Atlanta. The rap mogul is begging for forgiveness on Twitter for the outburst, which got so bad T.I. had to intervene and tell his boy to calm the heck down. He threw ice at some guy, threatened to fight him and called him “n**ga” and a “f**got” all for drinking a rival brand of vodka. Seriously. In his apology today, Diddy writes: “I’m sorry for the ignorant way I repesented [SIC] myself … I have backslid and regressed. Forgive me for my ignorance. Pray for me pls.” “I know better and I am better. I have a responibility [SIC] that I promise I will live up to. And I’m more dissapointed [SIC] in myself than you know.” “I will humble myself and learn.” The man on the receiving end, Ricky Parker, says he feels “humiliated and disrespected” and can’t believe this entire fiasco erupted because he was drinking Grey Goose and NOT Ciroc vodka, which Diddy is a spokesperson for. Neither can we. Watch the incident below if you haven’t seen it: Diddy Calls Out Non-Ciroc Drinker, T.I. Intervenes
Tyrese claims he was kicked out of a radio station in Delaware where he gave an interview yesterday because he ranted about liquor stores – in a positive way! Invited on the show to promote his album, Tyrese made a comment about how liquor stores should not be allowed near schools, having just seen such a case. “Get them cats out of here … selling alcohol across from your kids school, homie. You gotta know how to put pressure on dudes selling in your hood,” he said. But when the show went to commercial, Tyrese was asked to leave the building because the station said he was “disrespecting” the Delaware community. After the incident, Tyrese tweeted : “I just kicked out of a radio station frm a [program director] who had a problem w/ me speaking on liquor stores that are by elementary schools in Delaware.” “If you don’t STAND for something.. You will damn near fall for Anything.” Amen, homie.

Nice to see some equal opportunity pant-saggin’ prejudice. Billie Joe Armstrong’s Labor Day weekend is off to a rocky start after the Green Day frontman was kicked off a Southwest Airlines flight Thursday for having pants that hung too low. Armstrong was traveling from Oakland, Calif., to Burbank, Calif., when the incident occurred. Cindy Qiu, an associate producer at ABC 7 in Oakland who was on the flight, told the news agency that when a flight attendant asked Armstrong to pull his pants up, he asked: “Don’t you have better things to do then worry about that?” When the attendant asked again, also threatening to have Armstrong removed from the flight, he retorted “I’m just trying to get to my f**king seat.” This isn’t the first time an incident like this has occurred. In June, a US Airways passenger was arrested after he refused to pull up his saggy pants. Prosecutors later said they would not file charges against him. Billie took to his Twitter (as celebs always do) to voice his displeasure with his Southwest experience. Southwest Airlines responded (via Twitter) Its messed up that Billie Joe got kicked off the plane, but we can’t help but feel a little better knowing that airlines aren’t just targeting “urban” youth with their “no sagging” policy. Especially after the last incident … Source
While her sister Beyonce was revealing her pregnancy , Solange Knowles made headlines for less positive reasons in Miami, Fla., on Sunday night. According to reports, Solange and her crew were rejected from a club because they had a balloon, which they decided to cross the street to pop. Yes, this happened … and resulted in a run-in with the cops. There they encountered two off duty police officers, and a conversation ensued, which was “casual and light-hearted” at first. Then it went bad. Apparently, the authorities were not enthralled about Solange being there, or about the balloon, which they brandished a weapon to destroy. Police say Solange was “armed” with a “five-foot inflatable banana.” We’re serious. According to Solange’s rep, these events followed : One officer pulled out a switchblade and threatened to pop the balloon. They felt it was inappropriate, but the turning point happened when he then took out the switchblade a second time with the blade open and said to them, ‘I don’t find the humor in this, anymore.’ The blade was less than a couple feet away from Solange and her friends. The officer proceeded to “forcefully” ask them to move, gesturing that they cross the street though there was oncoming traffic. Solange then asked the officer what was it that they did wrong, and he forcefully responded again to move. When a taxi pulled up, they got in and headed home. Solange made a series of calls to report the incident and was told to be prepared to be arrested when she came in to report the incident if her story was false. Solange simply wanted to report that the officer pulled out a weapon, when she had done nothing illegal, disruptive or belligerent. Solange is filing a report and has not yet decided on further legal action . The Miami Beach police said in rebuttal that Solange became unruly, loudly complaining of being rejected from the club for racial reasons. Solange inisists she never once raised her voice, although even if she did, cops whipping out a switchblade may not have been necessary. Beyonce’s sis has also gone on to state her sincerest disappointment with the Miami Beach Police and how they have handled this matter. No word if the matter will be pursued any further.

Chaz Bono’s joining the Dancing With the Stars cast gave the show major publicity, but it wasn’t just done as a stunt or a favor to the LGBT community. Based on what we know of past seasons and those who have made long runs on the show, Chaz – if he can dance at all – could be among the favorites. Below, THG breaks down the prospects for the man formerly known as Chastity Bono (with girlfriend Jennifer Ella, below) and the rest of the dancers … Favorites: David Arquette, Chaz Bono, Ron Artest, Hope Solo, Ricki Lake If anyone has the notoriety that they can utilize to gain interest and build fan support, it’s Bono, who will be paired with a female professional dancer. David Arquette is probably the show’s second biggest “get,” especially after his separation from wife Courteney Cox and subsequent bizarre behavior. We don’t know if either one can dance, admittedly. But assuming there’s any kind of rhythm there, each could go on fairly sustained runs this fall. As for Ron Artest (the player soon to be known as Metta World Peace), pro athletes tend to do well, and Ron is very likable beneath the crazy exterior. Ditto for U.S. World Cup soccer goalie Solo. Ricki Lake, meanwhile, fits the Jennifer Grey mold, having starred in a dance-themed cult classic film. Underdogs: Nancy Grace, Rob Kardashian We could well be proven wrong here, but these would be our picks to go home first. Nancy Grace is a polarizing figure and likely won’t change that. As for Kardashian, DWTS is not necessarily kind to reality stars. The fan base is a little different, so he’s likely coming in as one of the lesser-knowns. Plus, even those that love the Kardashians kind of hate the Kardashians. Dark Horses: Chynna Phillips, Kristin Cavallari, Elisabetta Canalis Phillips has a fan base from her music and acting, even if each is a bit dated. Canalis is George Clooney’s ex . That’ll have people curious for sure. Cavallari could be a bust or the real deal. Remember Audrina Patridge? She finished fifth her season and was totally robbed from advancing further. Kristin’s pretty, sassy and could build some strong support. Maybe. Wild Cards: J.R. Martinez, Carson Kressley Martinez, the actor and Iraq War veteran whose body was 40 percent burned after a landmine explosion, will touch more hearts every week he lasts. The question is whether he can do well enough to get through the first few weeks where he may be the cast’s least-known member. Total wild card. Finally, Carson Kressley of Queer Eye For the Straight Guy . He’s fallen off the radar a bit in recent years, but still has a loyal following. How loyal? Stay tuned. This is just THG’s take. Now tell us yours: Who do you think will win DWTS Season 13? Vote!
