Louis Tomlinson Thanks Fans for Support; Where’s the Apology?

In the wake of his worst scandal to date, Louis Tomlinson has come out and thanked his fans for their support. Tomlinson and One Direction mate Zayn Malik were filmed smoking pot in a video that leaked online this week, while audio appears to catch them making racial and homophobic slurs as well. “Massive love to all our fans!! So incredibly supportive! Loveeeee,” Tomlinson Tweeted yesterday. But that response isn’t satisfactory to some. Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik Pot Smoking Video: How Did It Leak? Many don’t seem to care about the marijuana use (it’s not exactly unusual in the young pop music scene; heck, Miley Cyrus openly loves weed), but Tomlinson said the N-word and used “gay” in a negative context. As a result, “#apologizelouistomlinson” began trending on Twitter soon after the artist refused to show remorse online. Malik, meanwhile, has yet to say anything at all since the firestorm began; while a One Direction rep simply said via statement: “The matter is in the hands of our lawyers.” One Direction Pot Smoking What do YOU think, THGers? Should Louis and Zayn apologize for their words and/or actions?   Yes, they have a responsibility as role models. No, we all make mistakes. No, freedom of speech! View Poll »

50 Cent First Pitch: Officially the Worst of All-Time!

Many things in life may be subjective. Is the Kim Kardashian sex tape better than the Kendra Wilkinson sex tape? Was Tupac a better rapper than Biggie? Should Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik apologize for smoking pot and insulting African-Americans? We could debate those topics forever. But, thanks to the magic of the Internet, we now have conclusive evidence about another pressing pop culture issue: the infamous 50 Cent first pitch tossed by the rapper prior to a Mets game this week. As you can see, it was rather abysmal: 50 Cent First Pitch Fail But was it the worst ceremonial first pitch ever thrown by a celebrity? In a word: YES! The good folks at The Washington Post have put together a graphic that tracks the locations of nearly every memorable first pitch ever. Snoop Dogg can apparently bring it. Verne Troyer is all about high heat and, heck, even Santa Claus can find the vicinity of the plate. But Fiddy is even worse than Cookie Monster, even farther away from the strike zone than Kim Kardashian . Take a look at the useful image below and let’s give George W. Bush credit for once: look where his first pitch, thrown in the aftermath of 9/11, ended up… Ceremonial First Pitches: Fails & Feats 1. Don Baylor Breaks Leg on First Pitch Poor Don Baylor. The Angels hitting coach actually broke his leg while catching this ceremonial first pitch on opening day.
