Jerry Springer thinks Donald Trump is next Sarah Palin?

[Apr. 23]

Jerry Springer, who once was the mayor of Cincinnati, was ousted from politics because of a relationship with a prostitute. He briefly considered a run for the Senate in 2003, but backed off because of the notoriety of his show, Jerry Springer, a television series which he readily admits is silly — but claims he totally does for the money. But Springer never is far from politics. He was asked recently about his feelings of real estate tycoon Donald Trump possibly running for president in 2012, and he is not exactly kind to the Donald.
PopEater reports:

“Remember when you were a little kid and a wise guy at the back of the class would shout things out?” Jerry asks. “That’s Trump. He makes you laugh and giggle.”

Those are some pretty harsh words about Donald Trump coming from a man like Jerry Springer, who has made his living the last 20 years shocking people and otherwise making people giggle over the antics on his television show, Jerry Springer. If anyone knows what it means to be a celebrity clown, Springer does.

Regarding his own show, Springer tells PopEater:

“It’s so stupid,” he says. “Our niche is outrageous, so we are not competing with anyone. We have cornered the market. It’s total escapism, where we never pretend to be anything we are not. It’s hard to find a job that is this much fun. It keeps me young.”

So what does he have to say about Donald Trump and his eligibility to run for president? He compares Donald Trump, who he calls “the flavor of the month” for Republicans, to the former Republican sweetheart Sarah Palin. Effectively, he has identified that Republicans are trying to paint a new face over the party.

Lady Gaga apologizes to fans for retarded comment via Perez Hilton blog?

Celebrity OOPS!

Lady Gaga apologizes to fans for retarded comment via Perez Hilton blog?

[Apr. 22]

Lady Gaga told British music magazine NME that accusations of plagiarism are “retarded.” But almost immediately realizing her celebrity OOPS moment, she apologized for the use of that particular word. Saying the use of the comment goes against what she does to support causes that she associates with, including her outspoken support for the LGBT community, Lady Gaga ate crow with a seriously apologetic game face on. “I consider it part of my life’s work and music to push the boundaries of love and acceptance,” said Gaga in a statement released through celebrity blogger Perez Hilton. Yes, that is right. She used Perez Hilton to help her get the word out to Little Monsters and Critics everywhere that Lady Gaga did not mean to make a slur against the special needs community or to demean them. She readily admitted her words were chosen poorly.

The press release statement Lady Gaga issued about having used the word retarded inappropriately was written in such a way that is was very politically correct. She writes:

“To anyone that was hurt, please know that it was furiously unintentional.

Whether life’s disabilities left you outcast, bullied or teased, rejoice and love yourself today.”

TheSocialChallenge.org has demonstrated that when engaged, like Lady Gaga, users of the word “retard” are likely to apologize.

You can visit the site to see live streams of tweets using the word. Consider telling those who are using it to take it back and find a better word to discuss the situation. The way Lady Gaga used it demonstrates just how casual it can be, and how unfair it really is.

Says Holly Roos:

“It’s really unfortunate when someone with as much influence as Lady Gaga uses that word,” said Holly Roos, an advocate for TheSocialChallenge.org, and a mother of two children with Fragile-X syndrome.

“But through The Social Challenge, in just over a month, we’ve actually had hundreds of people tweet back with apologies, pledging not to use the word in the future. It’s a great opportunity to make a difference, and I’m really glad to see that Lady Gaga thought better of her words, too.”
