George Bush Still Hurt by Kanye Comments, West Expresses Sympathy

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Videos,

Although it would be difficult for anyone to forget Hurricane Katrina, former President George W. Bush says there is one particular moment surrounding that 2005 event that still stings to this day.

In an interview to air next week on NBC, Bush calls the time Kanye West suggested he was a racist (see the video above) one of the lowest points of his presidency.

"It's one thing to say, 'I don't appreciate the way he's handled his business.' It's another thing to say, 'This man's a racist.' I resent it, it's not true, and it was one of the most disgusting moments in my presidency," he recalls to Matt Lauer.

Having endured his own public scandal since that time, a mellower Kanye expressed sympathy today in an interview with a Houston radio station. (You can listen to that chat after the jump.)

Celebrity Chatter: Valerie Bertinelli Gains a Fiance, Audrina Patridge Loses a Boyfriend

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television, Break-ups, Divorce, Drunk, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,

-If the Today Show makes a statement saying Matt Lauer isn’t cheating on his wife, then the rumors must not be true - okay? So stop asking why he hasn’t been sleeping at home.

-Not wishing to be tased by police anymore, Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Nicholas Brendon has checked himself into rehab. Brendon has been battling alcohol problems for several years now.

-Speaking of BTVS, there’s some bad news for actress Emma Caulfield as well. The 37-year-old is splitting from Cornelius Grobbelaar, her husband of over three years.

-Valerie Bertinelli may have lost a lot of weight, but she’s just gained a lot of baggage. The TV personality is now engaged to longtime boyfriend Tom Vitale.

-Audrina Patridge finally realized she could never tame Ryan Cabrera’s hair - or his “partying ways.” The reality star broke up with the singer “about a week ago.”

VIDEO: Meredith Baxer Reveals She’s a Lesbian

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Videos,

After years of playing wife and mother Elyse Keaton on Family Ties, Meredith Baxter (formerly Meredith Baxter-Birney) made a big reveal on the Today show this morning: she’s a lesbian.

The news comes following reports by the National Enquirer that the actress was recently spotted on a cruise sponsored by a lesbian travel company. Pictures of the 62-year-old and her partner of four years, Nancy Locke, were also posted on Perez Hilton yesterday.

Meredith, who has been divorced three times, said her self-discovery didn’t come until fairly recently. “I am a lesbian and it was a later-in-life recognition of that fact,” she claimed. “Some people were saying ‘Were you living a lie?’ And, you know, the truth is — not at all. This has only been like the past seven years.”
