Rarely are we confused by things, but either Anthony Michael Hall has lost his fucking mind, or we have. Today TMZ does their best Celebrities Uncensored imitation and shows the world a cocksure Sixteen Candles star droppin the n-bomb like it ain't no thing. Murmuring something about being high he poses with fans and bullshits with the photographers. Is he that desperate for attention that he would greet people with "whaddup my nigga" while......

Seven months. It was seven months ago today that the Clippers had won their last road game, prior to last night’s 89-82 breakthrough against Memphis. In that time, Kid Rock and Pam Anderson got married three times and divorced, Carrie Underwood was still the reigning American Idol, and Mel Gibson and Michael Richards were still best known for their body of work instead of their big mouths. It’s been a long time. Now, a......

Nigger Nigger Nigger Nigger Damon Wayans was banned from the Laugh Factory yesterday after he dropped the "N-Bomb" sixteen times on Sunday at the infamous comedy club, now known as the stage that killed the career of Michael "Kramer" Richards. Nigger Nigger Nigger Nigger "I'll be damned if the white man uses that word last," Wayans, the star of such films as "Mo' Money", reportedly said. The Sunset Strip landmark recently warned comedians that they......

We love the art of remixing. We wonder who will get sued over this one. We always enjoyed Seinfeld, it was good to see a new episode. We're still not sure about The New Adventures of Old Christine. We don't like the Sherman Oaks pizza nazi at Santino's N.Y. Pizza. We thinks eating a candy bar with a fork and knife is hot. That's all, just watch the flick.......

Last week Michael Richards hired a mouthpiece because his mouth was clearly defective. PR genius Howard Rubenstein (David Blaine, Worldwide Pants, Danielle Steel, News Corp) was called in to put out the fire and one of the first things that he addressed was the issue that the actor most-commonly known as Kramer went off in April on an anti-Semitic rant while on-stage. Rubenstein basically said it was kosher because Richards "is Jewish. He's not......

If you’re hiking, consider charging up your iPod, as Seattlest finds out that a man lost during a hike was found by the glow of his iPod. That cleverness seems to be devoid in cops who were using police cruiser instant messaging clients - although we imagine IMs “so are you nakie” to be included in cop shows, just for realism. If only the cops were busting the Hummer-driving jerk who made a poor......

It’s been a long week for the folks at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood, which got hit with plenty of shrapnel from the Michael Richards explosion. And it was on the lips of everyone on Thanksgiving, the day that the Laugh Factory turns into the home away from home for about 1,200 actors, comedians and anyone else who comes in for the free meals and a free show at the comedy venue. If there......

The only Beat poet who meant a damn, William S. Burroughs laid it out two decades ago in a poem that even Michael Richards would enjoy, if he had a penchant for actual sarcasm. LAist dares you to deliver this "prayer" before you dig in tonight. Full text of the classic after the jump. h/t Wonkette......

Now we're very confused. On Tuesday we reported that the Jewish Journal had written that the former Seinfeld star Michael Richards was not a member of the tribe. But this afternoon we read in Gothamist that the actor's newly hired PR man says that Richards is indeed Jewish. All of this stems from a new allegation that Richards once went on an anti-Semetic tirade on some audience members at The Improv in April. "He is......

In case you missed it, Michael Richards (better known as Kramer) apologized on national television last night for his racist tirade at the Laugh Factory last week. It seems like he's on an acid trip but the apology nonetheless sounds genuine. Still, forgivable? You decide.......

Michael Richards was on Letterman tonight and to be honest, bro seemed out of it. We don't want to say he sounded like a guy strung out on something or a few fries short of a happy meal but everything was wrong. Even the backdrop CBS gave him was fucked up. It reminded us of a bad acid trip where everything you say comes out wrong and everything you do feels off and you......

- Just like the old days, tonight on the Late Show with David Letterman, Kramer will burst into Jerry Seinfeld's spotlight and apologize for his racist remarks. Word is Richards doesn't apologize any better than he delivers stand-up. Kyle Doss and the other African Americans who were at the Laugh Factory show on Friday probably won't be satisfied - Defamer - UPDATE: CBS News has posted a clip of the interview on their site......

Seinfeld's oh-so-funny Michael Richards left a crowd full of fans silent as he walked off stage Friday night at the Laugh Factory down on the Sunset strip. Kyle Doss was at the show with 25 other friends when he started to heckle Richards, saying "You're not funny". The cellphone-camera/handycam starts rolling as soon as Richards screams "Fifty years ago we'd have you hanging upside-down with a fork in your ass," then continuing "You can......
