Kramer Loses His Mind, Unleashes Barage Of Racism

Xinsrc_042110321111707816363Seinfeld co-star Michael Richards is in some deep water after a stand-up routine gone terribly wrong at a Los Angeles comedy club Friday night. Richards lost his temper with some African-American hecklers and spit out a two-minute tirade of racial epithets. The whole event was caught on tape and shows Richards calling the audience members "niggers" several times, and implying that they should be hanged.

Racism is quickly becoming a theme in Hollywood following Mel Gibson's recent anti-semetic meltdown. And whether it's yet to be seen if the public (and Hollywood) will forgive Mel for his antics, Richards may have just commited career suicide. He hasn't been a cash cow for quite some time, and publicity this bad only adds to his unattractiveness as a comodity.

Richards has already appeared on Letterman to apologise for the outburst. Expect to see a lot of foot-in-mouth removal surgury on the airwaves in the next few days.

Totally Frakked: Heroes -- Homecoming Freak Queen

Nup_103842_0713_1 Just when Heroes was getting droopy, we get possibly the greatest episode of the season. That's largely because Claire the cheerleader takes center stage, as the heroes race to save her from Sylar. Luckily, we can ignore the irritating Suresh-in-Chennai plot, because so many fun things happen to Claire. First, the freaks at her high school elect Claire homecoming queen, then Claire punches out the bitchy cheerleader who makes fun of her cool gay friend. Meanwhile, we watch Jessica, Niki's evil double, buy a sweet armor-piercing gun for some serious ex-hubby killing. And all the heroes are coming together in Texas for a showdown at the homecoming dance!

GMMR: How I Met Your Mother Recap -- “Slap Bet”

Gmmr_logo_7

One of the How I Met Your Mother gang has a secret that has been hidden for the entire time they have been friends. What is it? That is anyone’s guess. Of course, it was open to much speculation.

The speculation led to one of the best episodes of the year. It led to the nicknaming of another of our favorite people.

It all begins with Barney’s excitement with the grand opening of a new Sharper Image down at the mall. He wants the gang to join him and said he’ll buy everyone something if they go along. And then, you hear things come to a screeching halt. Robin refuses to go to the mall with them. It comes out that Robin refuses to go to malls and even at everyone else’s insisting, Robin says she’d rather just not talk about it. Begin speculation!

Barney thinks he has the answer. Porn!

Ted: You know?
Barney: Of course I know. She couldn’t look at us, her face got flushed, that’s shame my friend. Our friend Robin used to do porn-wait for it-ography.

The Bachelor: Rome -- Get Out Your Claws

Borghese_1

Hell hath no fury like a whole room full of women scorned. Especially when the room includes a snobbish socialite, a fiery Italian, and a stone-cold crazy Utah girl. It’s a minor miracle that no one on The Bachelor: Rome required medical attention. This week marked the always-frenzied Tell-All, reuniting the most colorful of characters, less the two remaining bachelorettes. The prince even had the guts to make a showing, and although his stay was brief, he came out swinging too. Human nature at its finest? Not exactly, but it makes for damn good TV.
