Sideshow: Justin Bieber and racist remarks: Imperfect together

Justin Bieber is in hot water again, just days after he apologized for a video in which he utters the ultimate racial slur as part of a joke about black people and chain saws.
British tabloid the Sun has uncovered a 24-second vid clip that has Bieber substituting the N-word for girl while singing his '09 song "One Less Lonely Girl," which was written by Bieber's former mentor, Usher. Bieber also is heard joking about joining the Ku Klux Klan.
Bieber made a response of sorts on Wednesday night, posting a photo of a book page on Instagram. The uncaptioned page features a discussion of Jesus' teachings on sin, repentance, and forgiveness and includes several biblical verses. USA Today says the book in question is Jesus Calling by Sarah Young.

Dean, Tori & TV

The Kardashians have so often been accused of living a life of lies manufactured entirely for TV that it's refreshing - to hear another family accused of the same thing.
Anonymous Source tells Life & Style Weekly that Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott plan to renew their wedding vows - not in the name of love but to bump ratings for their (un)reality show, True Tori. It's the right move to make since Dean's affair late last year with one Emily Goodhand. (Some have said the woman and the affair are fake, manufactured for the show.) Tori 'n' Dean, who wed in 2006, have tried the same stunt before: They renewed their vows on their previous show, titled, um, Tori & Dean.

A baby for Kourtney

Yet more Kardashians are expected to lay siege to our planet: Kourtney K. and partner Scott Disick are expecting another child. (Isn't it time the G7 summit addressed the K-population problem?)
"She's really excited but she's nervous too," Anonymous Source tells People. "Three kids is a lot to handle! But she's happy - she's always wanted a big family with Scott."

   

Quote du jour

"And I left it too late and so drove us into a tree . . . and I almost killed Tom Cruise." So Emily Blunt told Conan O'Brien Wednesday night of her attempt to do her own stunt driving on her new pic, Edge of Tomorrow.
Mr. Cruise was unharmed.

Conan's Best Jokes From the Turner Upfront


Conan O'Brien and TBS announced Wednesday that he has re-upped his contract with the network through 2018, and O'Brien noted that the new contract will take him into his 26th year as a late-night host.
“I've gone from, ‘Who is this young punk?’ to ‘Oh my God, what has he done with his eyes?'” O'Brien said at Turner's upfront presentation to advertisers Wednesday. “‘I think he got the full Pelosi… Conan looks like Bruce Jenner's mother.'”

O'Brien was, as usual, in self-deprecating mode. But he also had jokes about Solange Knowles, TNT and TBS president Michael Wright, and Steve Carell. Here are the best:
“Once again I'm only here because I was told The Rock would be appearing personally. That happened last year and they sent video once again. Here's the kicker: I saw him on the street 10 minutes ago. He was on a bike. … I flew 9,000 miles to be here.”

“I'm sorry if I look a little disheveled. To get here I flew all night, then took an elevator with Beyonce's sister.”
“This is our first year doing an upfront at Madison Square Garden. The Ringling Bros. circus was just here but somehow we're managing to pile the shit up even higher today.”
“I'm thrilled that TBS is in the capable hands of Michael Wright. Michael's an actor who's best known for what he has accomplished outside acting. Just like John Wilkes Booth. I'll stand by that joke: He's a murderer.”

“Michael's an important member of the Turner team. Not only is he a respected leader and executive. He's the only one who knows which one is Rizzoli, and which one is Isles.”
“I know which one is Franklin and which one is Bash. Franklin stands next to Bash.”
“Of course Michael Wright is here to promote his own sitcom about an Asian couple that adopt him. That's right, it's called “Two Wongs Don't Make a Wright.” … That just happened, ladies and gentlemen. I'm gonna give you reporters time to write that one down. This is a guy with a long-term deal.”
“Speaking of new shows, Michael picked up ‘Angie Tribeca,’ the new comedy created by Steve Carell. I'm very excited that Steve's joining us here at TBS. I saw Steve backstage an hour ago. He was white as a ghost. He grabbed me and said, ‘I thought I signed with CBS.'”
“There was food at this thing last year, wasn't there? That's a sign we had a good year.”
