Top Public Mea Culpas

Usher rips his pants, Bono sings opera, the usual

(NEWSER) - In perhaps a case of history repeating itself, a blonde bombshell serenaded a notoriously libidinous Democratic president last night: But this time it was Lady Gaga sending up Bill Clinton, so things wouldn't have been complete without some extra raunch and an F-bomb. Appearing at last night's "A Decade of Difference" concert in salute of the William J. Clinton Foundation, Gaga told the crowd, "Tonight I thought we'd all get caught up in a little Bill romance," later telling the former prez, "I love you and your hot wife," before demanding that "Billary" "sit back down where you belong in the Oval Office with those high heels on." Finally: "If someone had told me so many years ago that I'd be doing that right in front of you ... I would have given a good American f**k you." Other highlights from the star-studded show, as per the Hollywood Reporter and E! Online: More»

Secretary of state gives an amusing Australian interview

(NEWSER) - In an interview yesterday with Australian radio personalities Hamish and Andy, Hillary Clinton wanted to clarify something: Not all Americans are like the Kardashians. “If you look at American TV as much of the rest of the world does, you would think we all went around wrestling and wearing bikinis,” said the secretary of state. “I mean, that's what you would think we spend our entire day doing, right?” More»

It's clear the legend can't hack it anymore

(NEWSER) - If you needed proof that it’s time for Larry King to retire—beyond the plummeting ratings —you got it during his painful interview with Lady Gaga.

What a shocker: Tiger Woods made the list

(NEWSER) - Some guys are unsexy just because they’re not sexy; others are unsexy because they cheat on their Oscar-winning wives with tattooed strippers (hello, No. 6). Whatever the reason, the Boston Phoenix lists the 100 unsexiest men of 2010. Some highlights:

• No. 100, Justin Bieber: “Twenty-something mall skanks: It is not cute to Twitter that you’re ‘looking forward to tapping that.’” He’s 16.
• No. 80, Rush Limbaugh: “Don’t let the Florida hit your fat ass on the way out.”
• No. 51, Bill Clinton: “Bill Clinton’s penis famously wrecked the first Clinton presidency; in 2008 it may have wrecked Hillary’s before she could even get elected.”

(USER SUBMITTED) - Looking back on a few decades of public apologies, blue appears to be the "it" color for people who say they are sorry in front of the world. Why blue? Color experts say we "believe" blue more than any other color. Bill Clinton went with blue in the form of a tie, as did Mark Sanford. Chris Brown, John Edwards, and Tiger Woods also wore blue to their mea culpas. Jesse James? He phoned it in. Read the full article . More»
