CBS Turns Down Gay Ad During Superbowl

CBS has rejected an ad from a gay dating website that was to have been broadcast during the Super Bowl.

The spot features two male football fans kissing, according to The Live Feed.

In the letter that they sent to ManCrunch, the network said that it refused to air the commercial because it “is not within the network’s broadcast standards for Super Bowl Sunday”.

The statement continued: “After reviewing the ad - which is entirely commercial in nature – our standards and practices department decided not to accept this particular spot.”
The network said that it had trouble verifying that the site could guarantee the $2.5m (£1.56m) cost to air the ad on Super Bowl Sunday.

However, ManCruch spokesperson Elissa Butcher stated that the site fully intended to pay for the spot.

“If the ad showed a man and woman kissing it would have been accepted. You see ads for erectile dysfunction morning, noon and night. It’s discriminatory that they won’t show this,” Butcher said.

Palin Denying Levi His Child Visits?

Levi Johnston claims that is he baffled by the ex’s child support petition because he already offered it.

According to TMZ, Johnston’s attorney Rex Butler said his client has asked Palin on several occasions to visit his house to pick up money for Tripp’s support.

He also says that Johnston told her “it would be nice” if she brought Tripp along when she picked up the maintenance, as he wants to spend more time with his son.

Butler further confirmed that the 19-year-old was prepared to hand over around $3,000 .

Bristol has asked for $1,750 a month in child support from Johnston and claimed that he’s only paid $4,400 since Tripp was born. However, Johnston’s manager countered that the model for Playgirl(NO WAY?) has received more than $10,000.

As for why Johnston didn’t mail Bristol the support, Butler added: “Why should he have to do that? He’s not dangerous to her.” The speculation is rampant that the prissy Palin is attempting to deny Levi visits and this is his way of assuring that he see’s his child.

Sounds like the duo need to get their act together at least for the sake of the little guy. We’re gonna hold off on voting them as parents of the year.

JLo Mocks Palin

Jennifer Lopez opened for George Lopez as a guest star Lopez Tonight earlier this week and mocked Sarah Palin during her less than funny monologue. The TBS show was the scene of the singer turned wannabe actress who called Palin ‘la cabrona’ (bitch) under her breath, amind cheers from the audience.

Jennifer said:”You know this week, Sarah Palin - la cabrona - made her first appearance as a Fox News contributor.”
We don’t seem to recall Palin being involved in shootings or violent anti male videos, so you might wanna hang on before you start slinging that mud JLo..

Former Happy Days Star Threatened Over Anti Michelle Comments

Scott Baio has reportedly contacted the police after receiving death threats on Twitter. Apparently there are too many people out there who associate a negative comment with racism. The former Happy Days star was the subject of numerous ultimatums after he insulted Michelle Obama on the social networking site.

E! News reported that Scott posted a rather unflattering photograph of the First Lady, adding: “WOW He wakes up to this every morning.”

Baio apparently soon received several messages including death threats and accusations of racism.

He posted: “PLEASE NOTE: The FBI has been contacted & we have a file number for the threats, along with twitter support. Thx (sic).”

Meanwhile, the actor tried to defend himself, writing: “People need to relax and laugh a bit. Life is too short no matter what party you are with. A joke is just that, a joke.”"One bad picture of a woman & everyone wants to bash me?” he wrote. “If it had been of Palin ppl would have prob cheered.

We tend to agree. Isn’t it possible the Mrs Obama can have a bad hair day too?

Cryers Ex Denies Death Threat Involvement

Jon Cryer’s ex-wife Sarah Trigger, speaking through an attorney has denied claims that she was behind a death threat against the Two and a Half Men star.

The “significant” threat was made against the actor on the set of the show last Friday. The claim apparently cause a furor… and an FBI investigation.

“This is the father of her child, and I think it’s outrageous that these rumors are being spread,” Trigger’s lawyer Vicki Greene told E!.

She added: “I can tell you that Sarah and I have not been contacted by the FBI. I don’t think she’s involved at all.”

TV Host Gains Condemnation for Susan Boyle Comments

A New Zealand newspaper has condemned Paul Henry, who apparently once worked for the BBC and was talking about Boyle on the
New Zealand’s TVOne’s Breakfast.

He described Boyle as “retarded” and laughed when he read that she had been starved of oxygen at birth.

“If you look at her carefully, you can make it out,” he added.

The Sunday Express claimed that Henry’s co-host Pippa Wetzell said: “That is not funny. That’s awful. She’s had such a tragic life, that woman.”

IHC New Zealand, a charity for people with learning disabilities, has criticized Henry’s comments and urged people to complain.

Sunday News reported that Henry described the charity’s campaign as “shameful” and added that he “didn’t regret anything I say”.
