ARMIE HAMMER IS HOMELESS IN HOLLYWOOD

Los Angeles’ homeless community just increased by one thanks to Armie Hammer! As we previously reported, Armie is in the midst of his self-described apology tour, so he’s spending more time in Hollywood and less in the Cayman Islands, where he’s hung out the past few years. Armie and his ex-wife, Elizabeth Chambers sold their Tudor style home in Hancock Park, (a posh area of Los Angeles) last year, so now that he’s in LA, he’s couch surfing with various pals. Armie feels unsettled staying with friends so he’s looking for a home to rent in LA as he struggles to make his comeback. A friend explains that Armie loved being in the Cayman Islands but realized if he wants his career back he needs to be in Hollywood.

Apology Ivanka Trump President

IVANKA TRUMP WANTS HER LIFE BACK

Ivanka Trump is going on tour, an apology tour! Ivanka realizes she committed social suicide when she was heavily involved during her father’s tumultuous time in office. When Donald first announced his 2016 candidacy, Ivanka didn’t think her father had much of a chance of capturing the White House, so she played along. Once he became president, she got actively involved, hoping to be a calming influence on the vortex of craziness he created. Ivanka recently announced that she’s NOT going to play active part in her father‘s 2024 presidential campaign, because she’s trying to reclaim her social standing in New York! One by one she’s been slowly reaching out to former friends, trying to give her side of the story, and offering her apologies for any of her missteps. She’s in a tough place, because she loves her dad, but she really misses her glamour social life. An insider says that some friends are receptive to rekindling their friendships, but others still refuse to give her the time of day.

Apology Chris Rock Oscar Slap Will Smith

WILL SMITH’S “APOLOGY” WASN’T MEANT FOR CHRIS ROCK

If you thought Will Smith’s apology to Chris Rock for slapping him at the Oscars was stiff and insincere, you are not alone. There’s a noteworthy difference between saying “I apologize” and “I am sorry. ”

According to Google: There is a subtle difference between saying “I’m sorry” and “I apologize.” An apology is a formal admission of a wrongdoing. It may or may not be heartfelt — i.e., a person may apologize without feeling remorseful. On the other hand, saying “I am sorry” is usually seen as being a truer admission of regret.

Not only did Will offer a stiff “apology” but he made a subtle reference in his speech that implied that Rock’s innocuous joke about Jada’s bald head was meant as an insult – thus giving him a good reason to become violent. All in all, it seems Will Smith made that speech because he was pressured into it- NOT because thinks he was wrong. Will’s speech was actually just a PR move to get fans to forgive him.
Congrats to Chris Rock for not responding favorably!

Apology Baby Daddy Instagram Khloe Kardashian Tristan Thompson

TRISTAN THOMPSON ADDS INSULT TO INJURY

Tristan Thompson could not have made a stupider move when he posted a public apology to Khloe Kardashian on Instagram. Was he trying to make himself look like a nice guy who should be forgiven for his naughty behavior? He does seem to LOVE publicity. This IS the second time he’s had a baby with another woman and we happen to think that if Khloe has an ounce of common sense, she gave up on him a long time ago. Tristan’s public apology included the statement “You don’t deserve the heartache and humiliation I have caused you” – insulting because he’s implying that Khloe is still in love with him and heartbroken, but why would SHE be humiliated by his behavior? Angry perhaps, but “humiliated?” This should have been handled privately. Hopefully Tristan is a better parent than he is a boyfriend…

Apology Cancel Culture Courtney Ford Tirade Trent Reznor

COURTNEY LOVE LEARNED A LESSON FROM CHRISSY TEIGEN

Courtney Love went on an Instagram rampage yesterday and insulted Nirvana band members over a royalties gripe she’s had for years, and then she turned on Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) and accused him of “abusing girls as young as 12.” The next day she came to her senses, took down the post, and apologized to everyone. (Possibly inspired by Chrissy Teigen) It raised the question: Could someone with a controversial history like Courtney GET AWAY with bad behavior online that might damage someone else’s career? Maybe- but Courtney didn’t want to take a chance…

Apology Bullying Chrissy Teigen Courtney Stodden Twitter

A CLOSER LOOK AT THE CHRISSY TEIGEN-COURTNEY STODDEN SITUATION

How refreshing it was to hear Chrissy Teigen’s open apology and admission of guilt to the nasty bullying charges made against her by Courtney Stodden. It’s not often you hear an accused party totally admit to guilt and apologize profusely. Chrissy admitted she was “an attention-seeking troll “ ten years ago when she attacked Stodden on Twitter. She went on to say “I’m ashamed and mortified and sad at who I used to be” It was a nice apology, but was it driven by fear of what Chrissy might LOSE if she did not handle this delicate situation correctly? She does have books, various TV cooking projects, a modeling career and a Target deal that theoretically COULD be jeopardized by the present cancel culture. Keep in mind, Courtney Stodden is not a very sympathetic character- she WAS 16 when she married a 51 year old man ten years ago, but observers weren’t sympathetic because she dressed like a stripper. However, Chrissy’s tweets WERE inexcusable. We hope she really DID learn her lesson.

Apology Donald Trump Fired Kathy Griffin

DOES KATHY GRIFFIN REALLY DESERVE TO BE FIRED?

Okay, Kathy Griffin made a huge mistake – but this horrible Trump photo was no worse than people get away with on Facebook nearly every day. Comedians often push the envelope way too far and they are admonished- but they’re not punished to such an extent! Nothing bad happened when Kathy insulted Jesus – and she IS in the habit of dishing celebrities. CNN came out with a holier than thou attitude announcing that Kathy was fired from her New Year’s Eve show. Her other endorsement deals followed suit, seeming to ENJOY the publicity. Does the punishment really fit the “crime?” When Kathy apologized immediately, she was criticized for doing it for fear of losing money. Imagine what would happen if she stuck to her guns! Andrew Dice Clay must be laughing his head off.

Apology Bette Midler I Am Cait

BETTE MIDLER: TIME TO STOP THE INSANITY!

We just can’t let this incident with Better Midler pass. She happens to be funny and smart and enjoys tweeting her observations of humanity. Recently she mused “Now that ‘I Am Cait’ has been cancelled, will she go back to being Bruce?” She was bombarded by hate mail from supposedly OFFENDED readers (mostly millennials, we suspect.) What’s WRONG with you people? Are you just SCOURING the internet for reasons to be outraged? There is no bigger supporter of gay and LGBT rights than Better Midler. She was simply making fun of the LENGTHS people go to so they can appear on reality shows. She was forced to APOLOGIZE, but ended it with “I seem to have misread the temper of the times.” And we agree – we are sick and tired of all those humorless and hostile jerks who like to “take offense” for every little thing. Get a life!

Apology Caitlin Jenner Transgender

CAITLYN JENNER: “IF YOU LOOK LIKE A MAN IN A DRESS, IT MAKES PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE”

Truer words were never spoken, but when Caitlyn said this in a Time magazine interview, she got nasty backlash from the transgender world – she was described as “transphobic” and one nitpicking commenter called her “The Donald Trump of the trans community.” Caitlyn apologized profusely but we don’t think she should have. She seems to have an honest and realistic view from inside the trans world and they have no business turning on her. A big man in a dress IS scary and it will be awhile before people get used to it. So far she’s done more to make transgender community acceptable than anyone we know.

Apology Demands Joan Rivers Kidnapper

JOAN RIVERS DOESN’T OWE ANYONE AN APOLOGY!

Photo: Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best?

Unbelievable. Those two women imprisoned in a Cleveland basement for ten years by Ariel Castro are ASKING JOAN RIVERS FOR AN APOLOGY! If you recall, Joan made an offhand comment about the tiny room she occupies at her daughter’s house and wisecracked “Those women in the basement in Cleveland had more space.” That’s all she said. Granted, the kidnap situation was far from amusing, but Joan likes to be shocking and can be interpreted as mean-spirited. (Off camera she is a very nice woman) Still, it wasn’t a direct insult to the victims – just a reference. What IS shocking is the fact that the two victims would take Joan’s remark personally and DEMAND AN APOLOGY. An apology for WHAT? Joan is right to ignore them.
