ESPN is very sorry that Brent Musberger developed a verbal boner for Katherine Webb on the air last night. In comments that have overshadowed Alabama’s demolition of Notre Dame in the BCS title game, the 73-year old announcer went a tad overboard in showering Webb – the girlfriend of Tide quarterback AJ McCarron – with praise based on her physical appearance. Watch and listen to Musberger go off about Webb now: AJ McCarron Girlfriend: HOT, According to Brent Musburger And even though Webb was flattered by the compliments (and gained over 100,000 Twitter followers as a resuly!), ESPN has issued the following statement in response: “We always try to capture interesting storylines and the relationship between an Auburn grad who is Miss Alabama and the current Alabama quarterback certainly met that test. However, we apologize that the commentary in this instance went too far and Brent understands that.” Note to ESPN : never, ever show Musberger any Kate Upton bikini photos on air.
Appearing alongside husband Mark Kelly, Gabrielle Giffords was a guest today on Good Morning America , touching on a subject she sadly knows all too well: Gun violence. The ex-Congresswoman – who survived a shooting in Arizona two years ago – visited Newtown, Connecticut last week and had one word for Diane Sawyer when the topic turned to these bloody massacres: Enough . “After the shooting in Tucson, there was talk about addressing some of these issues, [and] again after Aurora,” Kelly said. “I’m hopeful that this time is different, and I think it is. Twenty first-graders’ being murdered in their classrooms is a very personal thing for everybody.” To that end, Giffords and Kelly have started Americans for Responsible Solutions. It’s an initiative described on its official site as being meant to “encourage elected officials to stand up for solutions to prevent gun violence and protect responsible gun ownership by communicating directly with the constituents that elect them.” On their visit to Newtown, Giffords and Kelly met with relatives directly connected to the tragedy. “[The] first couple that we spoke to, the dad took out his cell phone and showed us a picture of his daughter and I just about lost it, just by looking at the picture,” Kelly said. “It was just very tough and it brought back a lot of memories about what that was like for us some two years ago.” Giffords and Kelly both own guns and support the Second Amendment, but they denounce the NRA’s hopes to arm schools with security guards and are instead pushing for “common sense” legal changes. For starters, how about comprehensive background checks all around? “Why can’t we… make it more difficult for criminals and the mentally ill to get guns?” asks Kelly, adding that “extended magazines” should be outlawed because they are “only used to kill lots of people.” Giffords still struggles everyday with regular tasks and could only offer a word here and there during the interview, but each spoke volumes: Enough. Strength. Sad. What do you think? Does the country need major gun reform? YES. Fewer guns, fewer tragedies! NO. It’s unconstitutional and won’t stop anything! View Poll »
Hours after dodging a legal bullet in her NYC nightclub assault case, Lindsay Lohan continued her London party spree last night, hitting up swanky Rose Club. Until the wee hours of the morning, obvi. Lindsay Lohan, broke as she is, and facing eight months in jail for myriad probation violations, seems to find the money to go HARD every night. It’s how she rolls. Prosecutors opted to delay proceedings for the nightclub fight Lindsay got into back in November, when she clocked “gypsy” Tiffany Mitchell in the face. Later this month, she faces a hearing for lying to police in connection with her June car crash on the Pacific Coast Highway, and the probation violation therein. Hard to keep it all straight, we know. Without a care in the world, the 26-year-old’s been living it up abroad as her problems unravel – and Dina Lohan black eye photos are published – here in the U.S. As the world of LiLo turns.

Despite being a compulsive liar and having no one else to blame but herself for probably two-thirds of her problems, Lindsay Lohan remains convinced police are out to get her. Lohan, who is facing jail time for her most recent probation violation, is telling friends that the cops have a vendetta against her and will stop at nothing to bring her down. Best of all, Lindsay is STILL CLAIMING that she wasn’t driving when her Porsche slammed into a truck in June. Officials do not concur and will charge her with lying to police . LiLo claimed she was a passenger in her car, and that her assistant was the one who was actually driving and caused the Pacific Coast Highway Crash. Yet witnesses say she was in fact behind the wheel . Obviously. Lindsay is said to be “terrified” of going back to jail, especially since Judge Stephanie Sautner made it clear she would revoke her probation and send her ass back there. If she breaks the law again, that is. Sautner can revoke probation on mere suspicion – without having to wait for a conviction – of a crime, but it remains to be seen if she will. She’s tough, but fair after all. Lindsay says she’s done a good job obeying the law since her no contest plea in the jewelry heist case, which tells you a lot about her self-perception problems. Still, she plans to throw herself at the mercy of the court, supposedly, in an attempt to stay out of the pokey. What do you think: should Lindsay Lohan do hard time ? Yes, that train wreck brat will never learn otherwise! No, quit trying to make an example out of her, haters! View Poll »
Tony Stark is struggling to hold it together in the first trailer for Iron Man 3 , and that’s before Ben Kingsley as conveniently and ambiguously-ethnic baddie The Mandarin enters the picture with his samurai hair and his even more ambiguous weirdo accent. Then it’s bye bye Stark mansion and hello waking nightmare as Tony’s world unravels. “Nothing’s been the same since New York ,” he sighs. “I can’t sleep… and when I do, I have nightmares.” Air-attacks crumbling that sweet Malibu pad into the Pacific and being haunted by an Iron Man doppelganger are freaky enough, but the saddest sight in our first glimpse at Iron Man 3 has to be the image of Stark crawling into bed alone, Iron Man parts strewn across the floor like an addict’s discarded syringes. Five bucks the line “It’s like I don’t even know you” or “I can stop whenever I want!” are uttered somewhere in this movie. Trailer debut via Apple iTunes : Dynamic action, a hint of self-destruction, Guy Pearce’s clean-shaven and therefore supremely threatening mug (what’s more rage-inducing if you’re Tony Stark – Pearce kissing your lady on the cheek, or your competition from another dude in a magical flying suit?)… I’d venture to say it seems like Shane Black is back. Let’s hope. Synopsis: Marvel Studios’ “Iron Man 3” pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy’s hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man? Iron Man 3 is in theaters May 3, 2013.

Despite crashing her car and lying to police , Lindsay Lohan’s career has yet to crash and burn. The hot mess just landed another movie role! Currently starring as Elizabeth Taylor in Liz & Dick , Lohan has also been booked for The Canyons, a contemporary thriller, according to E! The film will document “five twentysomethings’ quest for power, love, sex and success in 2012 Hollywood” and is written by Bret Easton Ellis. It was Ellis himself who first broke news of Lindsay Lohan’s casting on Twitter, along with that of her leading man … porn star James Deen. “James Deen and Lindsay Lohan have been cast in The Canyons,” he wrote in the first of a series of tweets retweeted by Lindsay herself. “And I am beyond thrilled that James Deen and Lindsay Lohan will be playing the parts of Christian and Tara in The Canyons by BEE.” “Could not have dreamed of a better cast. Lindsay nailed it.” That’s what the guy driving the 18-wheeler said. Too soon? Anyway, her camp says that while she got the role and agreed to it, her lawyers are still working out the details, so it’s not quite a done deal. Provided she stays out of jail, she’s excited in any case. “The appeal of this role for Lindsay is getting to work with Paul Schrader,” a source said of the writer-director of Taxi Driver and Raging Bull . Shooting on the film takes place in Los Angeles from July 9-31. Police are still investigating Lohan’s Friday crash on the Pacific Coast Highway, after which she initially claimed her assistant was driving. After that lie, she somehow said her brakes failed . Because that always happens when you rent a Porsche. Girl never ceases to amaze … [Photo: WENN.com]
Lindsay Lohan. What she won’t think of next. The star is telling her friends that the BRAKES ON HER RENTED PORSCHE DID NOT WORK properly, thus causing her serious car accident Friday. Lohan slammed into the back of an 18-wheeler and is thankfully okay, as is the truck driver and the personal assistant traveling with Lindsay. It seems like the blame game is being played once again, however, as LiLo claimed the semi cut her off … and the truck driver says otherwise. Lindsay says that after the truck cut her off, she claims she slammed on the brakes and … nothing happened! Somehow – this is the best – Lindsay also says she was told the Porsche’s brakes on the rental were replaced two days before the crash. Is Lindsay Lohan subtly implying someone wanted her dead and cut her brakes so she’d crash?!? That sounds like a plot from NCIS: Los Angeles . Someone ought to write a Lohan Book of Excuses, because there have really been some all-timers, but in any case, she says she’s lucky to be alive. As for the guy driving the truck Lindsay smashed into? James (last name withheld) says her account is – you guessed it – a complete lie and he has the witnesses to prove it was all LiLo’s fault. James emphatically denied cutting her off and claims he has multiple witnesses that saw the actress “flying” down the Pacific Coast Highway. He says he couldn’t possibly have cut Lohan off because he was already in the right lane when the accident, which totaled her car, occurred. What’s more, he said Lindsay’s camp tried to bribe him at the scene of the accident in an effort to keep him quiet about the event. Lohan was also trying to flee the scene , he claims, and when he tried to stop her from doing so, her people tried to buy his silence. Sounds a little far-fetched … but you never know with Lindsay. Bottom line, girl, you make a lot of money. Just hire a freaking driver. [Photo: WENN.com]
