Guys, Damon Lindelof wants to apologize for putting in a random scene of Alice Eve in her underwear in Star Trek Into the Darkness. He says it was gratuitous.

• I copped to the fact that we should have done a better job of not being gratuitous in our representation of a barely clothed actress.
• We also had Kirk shirtless in underpants in both movies.  Do not want to make light of something that some construe as mysogenistic.
• What I’m saying is I hear you, I take responsibility and will be more mindful in the future.
• Also, I need to learn how to spell “misogynistic.”

Well it was still appropriate for me! #boobs io9 via MTV:

Why is Alice Eve in her underwear, gratuitously and unnecessarily, without any real effort made as to why in God’s name she would undress in that circumstance? Well there’s a very good answer for that. But I’m not telling you what it is. Because… uh… MYSTERY?

Sigh. I really miss the 90′s. Everything was gratuitous back then and no one had to apologize for it. See: Species.

Michael Bay cast Megan Fox in his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot even after she compared him to Hitler. People just assumed he made her wash his Ferrari again but really all she had to do was beg and grovel to get a part.

A source tells Radar that Megan wasn’t being offered the leading roles she had been and she thought it was because of that Hitler comment she made.

Bad mouthing the person that launched your career? Gee, I don’t know why anyone would be apprehensive about hiring you after that.

But just in case that was why, Megan called Michael to say sorry. “So, she swallowed her pride, picked up the phone and spoke with him to clear the air and apologize. She told him how thankful she was to have been cast by him in the first place, and that she was totally out of line to say what she said. In the end she realized that Michael may be a hard taskmaster, but he does it purely to get the best out of his actors on set.”

Whoa, don’t go too far now. The secret to Michael Bay’s success is 1 part t & a and 2 parts explosions. He knows this. You don’t want to sound patronizing.

Eventually, Michael forgave her and offered her a role in TMNT because “he’s a big fan of hers.” Also because he already has the explosions. All he needs now is the t & a. “Hey, how about a scene where April O’Neil takes a shower,” suggested Michael Bay for no reason at all.

Justin Timberlake wrote an open letter on his website apologizing for the video his friend made mocking the homeless and promises to make his friend do 100 hours of community service. May I suggest picking up used needles off the streets of Skid Row?

In the letter, Justin says he didn’t know it existed and did not contribute to it. He defends his friends saying they’re good people and that this was clearly a lapse in judgement.

He tries not to throw Justin Huchel under the bus claiming it was a joke about not having that many friends at his wedding. A bit of a stretch. It was pretty obvious the joke was that no one at the wedding would associate with these poor people. See? It’s funny because they don’t wipe their asses with gilded toilet paper like us!

Justin goes on to say it wasn’t shown at his wedding and agrees that it was distasteful.

Once again, in the world that we live in where everyone thinks that they know everything, I want to be very clear… I am NOT defending the video. I agree with the overall consensus. But, to use another “pants” analogy… It seems that these days, misconception gets around the world before the actual truth even wakes up and gets it’s pants on.

I want to say that, on behalf of my friends, family, and associative knuckleheads, I am deeply sorry to anyone who was offended by the video. Again, it was something that I was not made aware of. But, I do understand the reaction and, by association, I am holding myself accountable.

He’s not defending the video yet he says the punchline of the joke was himself. This was bordering on a “I’m sorry you were offended for not getting the joke” apology.

In a statement seemingly written by a 12-yr-old, Paris Hilton apologized for earlier comments in which she said about gays who use the Grindr app, “They’re disgusting. Dude, most of them probably have AIDS.” Per GLAAD:

As anyone close to me knows, I always have been and always will be a huge supporter of the gay community. I am so sorry and so upset that I caused pain to my gay friends, fans and their families with the comments heard this morning. I was having this private conversation with a friend of mine who is gay and our conversation was in no way towards the entire gay community. It is the last thing that I would ever want to do and I cannot put into words how much I wish I could take back every word.

HIV/AIDS can hurt anyone, gay and straight, men and women. It’s something I take very seriously and should not have been thrown around in conversation.

Gay people are the strongest and most inspiring people I know. It is so wrong when people bully or put down others for being gay. No one should have to go through that. Again, I am so sorry from the bottom of my heart and I feel absolutely horrible. I hope that everyone can accept my apology and know that it is not who I am or how I feel in any way.

Thank you for taking a minute to read this, I love you.

Paris’ little press release quickly went from a stock fill-in-the-blank apology to pandering. Gay people are the strongest and most inspiring people she knows and she even makes a reference to bullying because that’s the hot topic right now. At what point does an apology become insulting. It’s like if I went up to Christina Aguilera to say I was sorry for calling her fat but that I know she can take a joke and is a real positive person regardless so I hope she accepts my apology. And then I offered her a doughnut

Megan Lochte has offered up an excuse for that video where she repeatedly called Chinese people “chinks.” She says it was just a skit to provoke discussion about the nature of prejudice. In essence, she’s moved on from insulting just the Chinese to pretty much everyone who saw the video basically sending out a statement calling them idiots.

“This was not a real interview, and it in no way reflects my true feelings or persona whatsoever,” Locthe tells Us Weekly in a statement. “The intent was to make fun of the ignorance of people who actually do not have an understanding of other cultures and speak in racist ways.”

“The skit and my character were supposed to be making fun of ignorance,” the Multicultural Marketing major continues — not “any culture or class of people.”

“I do see how it was highly offensive to the viewer, but as seen by today’s widespread outrage, it clearly did increase awareness of the ignorance of those who are racist,” Lochte asserts, adding that she realizes people may still find the humor in poor taste.

“While the intent of the script was to shed light on cultural ignorance,” Lochte says, “I realize that in application it did offend people, and for that I apologize.”

This despite the fact that no other interview featured in show archives have been a skit. Regardless, this isn’t even an apology. This is just Megan saying, “I’m sorry if you were offended because you were too dumb to realize this was me satirizing ignorant people.” Hm, why yes, of course! I totally see it now. Her repeated use of “chink” was just biting social commentary. She should take her show to the Apollo and satirize the prejudice against black people. People will love it.

Last Friday on The Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Jason Alexander (Seinfeld) was asked if he ever played cricket. It’s safe to say he hasn’t because he called the game gay.

“It’s a gay game,” Alexander, 52, said. “There’s a lot of people wearing white. People wearing helmets for no discernible reason…Everybody breaks for tea in the middle.”

Ferguson joked, “Yea, it’s a cross between baseball and Downton Abbey.” Us Magazine

Apparently people tweeted Jason, “But I’M GAY!” It was their way of telling him they were offended. On Sunday, Jason Alexander apologized. Naturally. He used a variation of the old, “Some of my best friends are gay,” defense.

“A few of my Twitter followers made me aware that they were both gay and offended by the joke. And truthfully, I could not understand why.”

But after spending some time thinking about it, Alexander says he realizes he was wrong. “And the worst part is – I should know better,” he wrote. “My daily life is filled with gay men and women, both socially and professionally. I am profoundly aware of the challenges these friends of mine face and I have openly advocated on their behalf.”

“So, I can only apologize and I do. In comedy, timing is everything. And when a group of people are still fighting so hard for understanding, acceptance, dignity and essential rights – the time for some kinds of laughs has not yet come. I hope my realization brings some comfort.”

So if you read carefully, Jason isn’t really saying sorry. He just says he won’t be making gay jokes until gay people achieve equal rights. “Their time will come,” vowed Jason as he stroked his notebook of gay jokes.

Asked what they thought about the apology, the LGBT community said it was “the gayest apology they ever read.”

Courtney Love popped her social media crazy pills the other day and accused Dave Grohl of seducing her estranged daughter Frances Bean Cobain. Two WTFs later, Frances denied the rumors and suggested Twitter ban her mom. Courtney, having heard “ban” and “Twitter” started hyperventilating and immediately went back on Twitter to apologize.

“Bean, sorry I believed the gossip,” Love tweeted early Saturday. “Mommy loves you.”

Ah, Twitter. Stalking estranged family members in 140 characters or less since 2007.

Internet tough guy Mark Wahlberg told Men’s Journal that if he had been on board that 9/11 flight, he wouldn’t have been a pussy like those other passengers and would have taken action, beating up the terrorists and safely landing the plane. Naturally, relatives of the victims were none to pleased about his comments.

“What? Now they want me to be sorry for stopping 9/11? What a bunch of queeahs,” Mark thought to himself. He thought it best to apologize anyway.

“To speculate about such a situation is ridiculous to begin with. I deeply apologize to the families of the victims that my answer came off as insensitive, it was certainly not my intention.” TMZ

Well, that’s not really an apology. He’s sorry it “came off as insensitive.” It doesn’t sound like he’s changed his mind about being able to save the day. Because it’s the truth. Mark Wahlberg would have single-handedly disarmed the terrorists and landed the plane. “Like a bahs.”

Alec Baldwin was kicked off American Airlines last week after he became agitated when a flight attendant made him shut off his cell phone. Baldwin said he was merely playing Words With Friends while the plane was stopped at the gate. Meanwhile, passengers and the flight attendant say Alec threw a hissy fit and slammed the lavatory door so loudly that the captain of the plane went to see what was going on.

Well, entitled actor Alec Baldwin wanted an apology so he guest starred on SNL and gave one himself. To himself.

I’m not sure that’s how apologies work.

In an excerpt released from an upcoming Vanity Fair interview, Johnny Depp compared doing photo shoots to being raped. Someone somewhere must have shaken their jowls in shocked disbelief because he’s now apologized for the comment.

“I am truly sorry for offending anyone in any way. I never meant to. It was a poor choice of words on my part in an effort to explain a feeling,” Depp said in the statement. “I understand there is no comparison and I am very regretful. In an effort to correct my lack of judgment, please accept my heartfelt apology.” HuffPo Celeb

Everyone loves Johnny Depp. He could have gotten away with saying he wasn’t referring to rape rape and if that didn’t work, he could have personally gone up to critics, looked them in the eyes and said, “I’m sorry.” There’s a 100% chance they’d be speechless, turn red, fall in love and faint. That is, only if his expression isn’t like it is in the header pic because then the appropriate reaction would be to call the police to warn them about a possible stabbing.
