Mark Wahlberg Jokes About 9/11, Apology Ensues

Mark Wahlberg opened his mouth and something other than ‘Say hello to ya motha for meh.’ came out. During an interview with Men’s Journal a question regarding the terrorist attacks on 9/11 came up. Instead of nodding gravely and giving a PC answer, he attempted to engage in witty banter. (One should probably note: Wahlberg has publicly acknowledged that he was supposed to be on one of the planes that crashed.)

Osama Bin Laden DEAD – VIDEO

Thousands took to the streets of New York to celebrate a little bit of justice at Ground Zero as President Barak Obama confirmed that Osama Bin Laden is dead.

A little bit of justice for the 9/11 attacks has finally been achieved as the man who orchestrated the terrorist attack that took nearly 3,000 victims lives. After months of intelligence work and help from Pakinstan, Osama Bin Laden was shot in the head after a successful raid by American military. A 40 minute “kill mission” took place at a “mansion” that is said to have been built with the goal of hiding the al Qaeda leader. His location was in Abbottabad, Pakistan, about two hours outside of Islamabad.

9/11 Remembered, Ground Zero Rebuilding and Quotes

[Ground Zero Being Rebuilt ….Slowly – Video]

While I sit here with my coffee and get ready to start the day being overly cruel to Katherine Heigl or hunting for juicy tidbits to share, I wanted to take a moment of seriousness to remember the day that further changed our lives.

It’s been 8 years since the morning of September 11th, 2001. Everyone has their story on how they found out and the domino effect that hit home to everyone. Today I hope that you will remember and continue healing. At 8:46 am EST a moment of silence will take place in New York as families and loved ones will gather and read the names of those who perished along with Mayor Bloomberg. President Obama will be at the Pentagon to honor those who were lost in the 4th crash. Below are some 9/11 quotes that will further move and inspire us.

Freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward.
Freedom will be defended!
–President George W. Bush, September 11, 2001

The best defense against terrorism is a strong offensive against terrorists.
That work continues.
–President George W. Bush, 10/13/2001

These acts shattered steel, but they cannot dent the steel of America’s resolve.
–President George W. Bush

America is not like a blanket — one piece of unbroken cloth,
the same color, the same texture, the same size.
America is more like a quilt — many patches, many pieces,
many colors, many sizes, all woven and held together by a common thread.
–Henry M. Jackson

We must not descend to the level of those who perpetrated
Tuesday’s violence by targeting individuals based on their race,
their religion, or their national origin. Such reports of violence
and threats are in direct opposition to the very principles and
laws of the United States and will not be tolerated.
–John Ashcroft, Attorney General

Hey Uncle Sam
Put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty
Started shakin’ her fist
And the eagle will fly
Man, it’s gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringin’ her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue
– Toby Keith Lyrics
Song: Courtesy Of The Red, White And Blue (The Angry American) Lyrics

No just cause can be advanced by terrorism.
–Koffi Anan

Let’s roll.
–Todd Beamer (?-2001), before he and others apparently
thwarted the fourth set of terrorists

Mischa Barton’s Medical Mystery

mischa-barton-medical-mystery-involves-cops-3

Former “O.C.” actress Mischa Barton was reportedly removed from her LA home yesterday by police after responding to a 911 call around 3pm. Details are sketchy but it’s being said that Mischa called the police herself after having a “freak out“… whatever THAT is supposed to mean.

Per Us Weekly:

“We responded to her home last night on a medical issue,” Officer April Harding tells Us. “We assisted with it. She was removed from her home.”

Mystery surrounds the entire situation… Where was Mischa taken? What caused her to so-called freak out? Details on where Barton was taken are not being released by police, citing California privacy laws. Chances are the situation occurred because its being claimed that Barton is smoking the wacky tobacky again, among other things. Freak-out? Sounds more like paranoia to me. Mischa has already done one drug-related stint in rehab, which she entered after a 2008 arrest for DUI and marijuana possession. She was sentenced to 36 months probation, told to attend alcohol education classes, and pay a fine.

Mischa was set to appear tonight at the premiere of her new film titled “Homecoming.” Director Morgan Freeman says that he is sadden to hear that she will not be able to make it because her performance in the film is ‘fantastic’ and will be missed… Missed? Or secretly relieved that the chances of this premiere going off without a hitch has now jumped to nearly 100%? Barton also has a new show on The CW coming out this fall called “A Beautiful Life” about living life as a supermodel.

rPulse claims to have been in contact with the actress’ family, who say this is nothing more than complications due to oral surgery involving deep impacted wisdom teeth that had to be removed from her jaw bones.

Per rPulse:

“I spoke with a family representative and confirmed that Mischa Barton was taken to the hospital due to complications from oral surgery. Her family is with her and she is being treated with antibiotics.”

Do they really expect us to believe that excuse? While as much of a hot mess as she’s been looking lately, there has to be more to this then what her representation is claiming. Since when does complications from oral surgery mean you receive a police escort to the hospital? Hmmm… Something tells me this story is only just beginning…

michael-jackson-dead-at-age-50

Today is a very, very sad day. On the heels of Farrah Fawcett‘s passing, news has surfaced that Michael Jackson has also died. He was only 50 years old. The legendary pop star suffered cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon at his home in Holmby Hills. A 911 call was made from his residence at 12:21pm pacific time. When paramedics arrived on the scene, Michael is said to have stopped breathing, with no visible pulse. After not being able to revive him, he was then was rushed to UCLA Medical Center and was said to have slipped into a coma for a short while before being pronounced dead around 3:15pm pacific time. The L.A. Times confirmed his death.

Jackson had been due to start a series of comeback concerts in London on July 13 running until March 2010. The singer, whose hits included “Thriller” and “Billie Jean,” had been rehearsing lately in Los Angeles for the past few months. A spokespersons for Jackson so far could not be reached for comment. Michael is survived by three children, Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince “Blanket” Michael Jackson II.

What a very sad week in Hollywood, indeed. First Ed McMahon, then Farrah Fawcett, and now Michael Jackson. Our thoughts, prayers, and hearts go out to the family and friends.

Mike Tysons’ Daughter, Exodus, on Life Support

Former Heavyweight Champion Mike Tyson’s four year old daughter Exodus is on life support after she was found hanging from a treadmill cord yesterday morning. She was reportedly playing alone in the family’s Phoenix home when her older brother found her with the cord wrapped around her neck. The boy alerted the their mother in another room and she called 911 while trying to revive her.

Per People Via Fox News:

“Somehow she was playing on this treadmill, and there’s a cord that hangs under the console – it’s kind of a loop. Either she slipped or put her head in the loop, but it acted like a noose, and she was obviously unable to get herself off of it,” Phoenix police Sgt. Andy Hill told FOX News.

Responding officers and firefighters performed CPR on the girl while rushing her to nearby St. Joe’s Hospital. She was listed in “extremely critical condition” and on life support. The Phoenix Police Department are investigating but are certain the incident was an accident, calling it “tragic.” They believe Exodus’ 7-year-old brother was watching television and her mother was busy cleaning in another room when the incident happened. Tyson had been in Las Vegas but flew to Phoenix immediately after learning of the accident. Tyson could not immediately be reached for comment but 42West, a New York City public relations firm representing him, released a statement on the family’s behalf.

Per ESPN:

“The Tyson family would like to extend our deepest and most heartfelt thanks for all your prayers and support, and we ask that we be allowed our privacy at this difficult time,” the statement said.

This is sad and tragic in every way. Our thoughts and prayers go out to little Exodus and the entire Tyson family, and hope for Exodus’ full recovery.

Stephen Colbert Slams Glenn Beck – Video

The Colbert Report Mon – Thurs 11:30pm / 10:30c
The 10/31 Project
comedycentral.com
Colbert Report Full Episodes Political Humor NASA Name Contest

My boo, Stephen Colbert, attacked Glenn Beck on his show. The “Colbert Report” is one of my favorite entertainment venues. (Yes, I am biased thanks to the fact that my male equivalent is hosting the show.)

Stephen ripped Beck and his 9-12 project by focusing on his hypocrisy and over the top fake crying to build a career at the hands of those effected by 9/11. Glenn’s project is a dedication to help rise again, but not for the families of the those lost that day.

Via Huffington Post:

“This is horrible to say, and I wonder if I’m alone in this,” Beck said on his radio program that day, “you know it took me about a year to start hating the 9/11 victims’ families?” Glenn said on his radio show. “I don’t hate all of them. I hate probably about 10 of them. But when I see a 9-11 victim family on television, or whatever, I’m just like, ‘Oh, shut up!’ I’m so sick of them because they’re always complaining. And we did our best for them.”

Colbert then mocked the New York Times lackey:

“Yes, the 9-12 project is not for families directly affected by 9/11, just people building their careers on it.”

Well said boo. Well said.
