Michael Buble Apologizes For Butt-Shaming Photograph

Michael Buble hit a sour note on Instagram yesterday. The singer was on vacation in Miami with his wife when the couple spotted a woman rocking some SERIOUSLY short shorts. We’re talking exposed bottom butt cheeks and everything. So Buble snapped a picture with the lady in the background, shared it online and wrote as a caption: “There was something about this photo lu took ,that seemed worthy of instagram. #myhumps #babygotback #hungryshorts #onlyinmiami #picoftheday #beautifulbum.” Funny? Foul? Most of the Internet went with the latter. Facing accusations of sexism and being referred to as “disgusting” by quite a few Instagram users, Buble went on Facebook today and issued a statement. “Anyone who knows me would never misinterpret the message of the photo my wife took in Miami that seems to have caused unexpected rage by some people.” Buble wrote. “I do not court controversy. But I realize that a photo that was meant to be complimentary and lighthearted has turned into a questionable issue. For the record, it hurts me deeply that anyone would think that I would disrespect women or be insulting to any human being.” The artist went on to say that he regrets if anyone found the picture “offensive” because that wasn’t his intention, concluding: “Women are to be celebrated, loved, respected, honored and revered. I’ve spent my life believing that and will continue to do so.” Buble should stick to bashing Kim Kardashian . He’ll never find anyone (with a brain) to disagree with him on that front.

Instagram Changes Policy, Allows for Breastfeeding Photos

Congratulations, Miley Cyrus ! You’ve won! The nipple has been freed! Kind of. Sort of. Just not exactly in the way you had in mind. While that celebrity and other famous women continue to fight for nudity on social media, Instagram has at least changed a policy that irked many parents across the land: One is now permitted to share breastfeeding photos online. View Slideshow: Celebrity Breastfeeding Pictures According to new Instagram rule, “women actively breastfeeding are allowed” as photo subjects, as are ladies who are showing “photos of post-mastectomy scarring.” The site even now says that “nudity in photos of paintings and sculptures is OK, too.” While Kim Kardashian can’t just go spread eagle on the website still, a statement on Instagram explains the basis for these changes. It reads: “We know that there are times when people might want to share nude images that are artistic or creative in nature.” However, “for a variety of reasons,” the site says it does not allow actual “nudity,” elaborating with what it means: “This includes photos, videos and some digitally-created content that show sexual intercourse, genitals, and close-ups of fully-nude buttocks.” The parent-based changes arrive months after Alyssa Milano, Jaime King, Alanis Morisette, Doutzen Krous and other stars documented their breastfeeding moments for all to see online and complained over backlash to them. “I just think it’s important for women to feel comfortable feeding their babies wherever,” Milano previously told E! News. “If we’re in public, we shouldn’t have to go in the bathroom.” About a year ago, Facebook also altered its Community Standards policy to allow for breastfeeding images, with new mothers such as Olivia Wilde and Gisele Bündchen supporting the move by posting photos of themselves supplying their babies with nutrition.

Alfie Allen: Ramsay Bolton Tortures Another Character on Season 5 of Game of Thrones and It’s "Hard to Watch"

Remember in season 3 of Game of Thrones when Ramsay Snow took Theon Greyjoy captive, tortured him for an entire season and eventually lopped his dong off? Yeah, we tried to erase it from our memories too, but no luck! Anyway, it looks like we’re in for more of the same this season, as the sadist (now Ramsay Bolton) and the victim (now Reek) have defied the odds and stuck it out as the most dysfunctional, one-sided couple on TV since Jon and Kate Gosselin! Of course, Ramsay has already broken Theon’s mind (That’ll happen when you eat sausage in front of a wang-less man.), so he now has bigger fish to torture.  But just because he’s done pretty much the worst things imaginable to Reek (Did we mention the wang?), that doesn’t mean Ramsay’s through messing with the guy. It seems that Mr. Bolton is now taking a two-for-one approach by torturing a different character and making Theon (and us) watch. In a recent interview, Alfie Allen spilled the beans about what Game of Thrones Season 5 has to offer in terms of torture porn. Hope you’re not a fan of sleeping at night! “There’s something that happens about halfway through this season that is really going to make huge waves, and people aren’t going to be happy about it,” Allen says in a recent interview. “It’s hard to watch. I bear witness to this thing, and it’s crazy, sort of having to portray how messed up everyone’s situation is through my own reactions to what happens. Get ready for it.” Pressed for details, Allen says, “There’s this one character who crosses both of our paths, and [Ramsay] certainly enjoys tormenting this character. It can be tough to watch for some people, without a doubt.” Book readers likely already know which character incurs Ramsay’s wrath (Keep da spoilers outta da comments, youse guys!), but for the rest of us, it’ll come as a shock…a revolting, nightmare fueling shock. Watch Game of Thrones online at TV Fanatic to make sure you’re all caught up in time for the next round of horror. View Slideshow: 9 Shocking Game of Thrones Deaths

Lady Antebellum Tour Bus Catches on Fire, No One Injured

Lady Antebellum had a bit of a scare when their tour bus caught fire en route to Dallas today. Lead singer Hillary Scott was on board with her husband, Chris Tyrrell, and her tour manager. The bus burst into flames while on Interstate 30. Scott’s band mates, Dave Haywood and Charles Kelley, were not on board. No one was harmed in the fire.  After getting out of the tour bus to safety, Scott posted an image of the scorched bus on Instagram and Twitter saying, “Hey guys, we had a crazy morning on the way to Dallas today.” “Our bus tire caught on fire and we had to evacuate very quickly. Everyone is safe and sound.” “It was me, my husband, our tour manager, and driver. Thanking God for our safety and the safety of all of those who helped put this fire out and keep us safe. Love you all!!!!”  According to the local station NBC DFW, the Garland Fire Department Captain, Billy Craven, said the driver’s quick thinking saved everyone : “As soon as he realized what he had a fire, he didn’t hesitate to get everyone off and then call 911.” Scott, 29, was on her way to the American Country Music Awards happening on Sunday, April 19. Lady Antebellum is nominated for Vocal Group of the Year. View Slideshow: Academy of Country Music Awards Fashion: Who Looks Best?

Sizzler Commercial From 1991 is the Best #TBT in Months

A 1991 commercial for Sizzler steakhouse resurfaced today, and it’s easy to see why the promotional spot has gone viral this Throwback Thursday. Sizzler Commercial 1991 The ’90s really were a different time. Apparently, a time when an eatery wanted to make ad that celebrated not only itself, but America at its finest. “We will make the most of all the best that freedom brings,” the theme song reminds us, as the voiceover drives home what Sizzler wants customers to know: “Americans have rediscovered, are redefining, what’s really important in their lives.” Read: Eating steak. And Americans doing a lot of awesome stuff Americans do. Those of you who weren’t alive in 1991 may not realize it, but the decade was marked by horrendous fashion, huge hair, and people possibly high on lithium. If there was one thing that united us all then, though, it was a good cut of beef. Whether you’re a construction worker smiling at the camera for a second too long, a business guy doing business things, or an old fisherman, Sizzler is for you. Such was the case in 1991, and today. Is this a great country or what?! View Slideshow: 31 Crazy Commercials We Love (or Love to Hate, or Just Hate)

Britt McHenry: Video of ESPN Anchor Verbally Assaulting Impound Lot Employee Leaks Online

Unless you’re a regular ESPN viewer, you’re probably not familiar with the name Britt McHenry. Unfortunately for the 28-year-old broadcaster, a whole lot of people are learning her name today in the worst way possible: Britt McHenry Tantrum Video In the above video, McHenry goes off on a tow truck company employee while attempting to get her car out of impound. The full video has to be seen to be believed, but here’s a rundown of McHenry’s most shocking insults: “That’s why I have a degree and you don’t…I wouldn’t work a scumbag place like this.” “It makes my skin crawl even being here.” “That’s all you care about is taking people’s money, with no education, no skill set…Just wanted to clarify that.” “Do you feel good about your job? So I could be a college dropout and do the same thing? Because I have a brain, and you don’t?” “Maybe if I lost some teeth they would hire me. Because yours look so stunning. That’s why I’m on television and you’re in f–king a trailer.” “Lose some weight, baby girl.” Yep, McHenry pretty much crossed off every item on the sadistic bully checklist. She clearly has lots of experience. ESPN announced today that she will be suspended for one week. Of course, this is just the latest in a long line of embarrassments for the once-respected sports news giant. The network’s controversial coverage of Michael Sam prompted viewers to rally a boycott last year.  Shortly thereafter, ESPN suspended Bill Simmons (one of its few personalities that anyone actually likes) for – of all things – criticizing embattled NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. We’re beginning to think the best way ESPN execs can pay tribute to the late Stuart Scott is to take the network he helped build off the air before the current crop of a-holes does any more to sully its reputation.

Sarah Stage: Skinny Pregnant Model Gives Birth to BIG Baby!

Last month,  Sarah Stage’s taut baby bump  made the model an instant web celeb. Stage shared several photos of her impossibly small pregnant belly and received flak from all corners of the Internet for allegedly starving herself and her unborn baby. Now, the 30-year-old former Playboy centerfold has silenced the haters by giving birth to a healthy, 8 lbs, 7 oz baby boy. James Hunter entered the world only slightly above average size, but considering you can see clearly abdominal muscles in Stage’s pregnancy selfies , that’s a heck of a lot bigger than anyone was expecting. Sarah’s pregnancy was reportedly such a walk in the park that she was spotted dining with friends at a swanky LA eatery the night before she gave birth. Throughout the final weeks of her third trimester, Stage quietly acknowledged the haters by posting photos of large In ‘N’ Out Burger lunches and selfies in which she can be seen sucking down milkshakes. Sources say she gained just 20 pounds over the course of her pregnancy. We may never know what enabled Sarah to stay remain impossibly trim, yet perfectly healthy throughout her pregnancy. One thing is for sure, though – little James is the recipient of some killer ab genes. View Slideshow: 27 Awkwardest Pregnancy Pictures Ever

Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus: Pregnant? By the Same Baby Daddy?!?

Best. Tabloid. Cover. EVER!!! The latest issue of Life & Style has taken this magazine to either a new high or a new low (depending on your perspective), screaming on its cover that not only are Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez both pregnant… … but they are pregnant by the same man! What are the odds, huh?!? The affiliated article claims to state how each “found out about” the other, along with their “fight over the baby daddy” and the “desperate decisions that changed their lives forever.” Incredibly, this isn’t even the first time Life & Style has claimed Miley and Selena were pregnant . The question now, of course, is which man knocked up both stars.  Cyrus us openly dating Patrick Schwarzenegger , while Selena is less openly dating DJ Zedd. The wild card, however, remains Justin Bieber . We all know his history with Selena, and he’s at least friendly with Cyrus. Might the three superstars have had too much to drink one night, thrown naked caution to the wind and there will soon be a pair of tiny little Beliebers running around?!? No? You don’t think so? Neither do we. View Slideshow: 43 Hilariously Untrue Tabloid Stories

Jeremy Calvert Files For Divorce as Leah Messer Heads to Rehab!

After months of rumors, it looks like it’s officially over between Leah Messer and Jeremy Calvert. Messer moved out on Calvert last week and today, In Touch is reporting that Calvert has filed for divorce at a West Virginia courthouse. Sadly, Leah’s problems don’t end there. Messer’s pain pill addiction has been the stuff of tabloid fodder for over a year, and now, sources say the troubled Teen Mom is finally seeking help. “She’s confessed to Jeremy that she has a problem, and knows she has no other choice than to go to rehab immediately,” a source says. “She won’t say she has a drug problem or needs rehab. She’s saying she’s going to go away to a ‘therapy intervention’ place for three or four weeks so she can find herself and help herself be a better person.” Insiders say they don’t believe Leah’s addiction was the final straw for Jeremy, as the two of them have been struggling for quite some time. Earlier this month, Leah and Jeremy spent their wedding anniversary apart , and Jeremy was photographed not wearing his wedding band. The difficulties reportedly began when Calvert accused Messer of cheating on social media. Though she later convinced him to give her a second chance, sources say the damage was already done, and Jeremy enjoyed the attention he received from other women while they were on a break. Watch Teen Mom online to see Leah and Jeremy in happier times. View Slideshow: Leah Messer Photos: Through the Years
