Imus suspended for racial slur
Imus suspended for racial slur
Hello, I'm Rebecca Field with a UPI entertainment update on this Tuesday, April 10, 2007. Radio host Don Imus is suspended from his job after he made a racial slur. MSNBC and CBS radio are taking him off the air for two weeks for an offensive comment he made about the Rutgers women's basketball team. The host made the statement last week on his show "Imus in the Morning." He appeared on Reverand Al Sharpton's radio show yesterday to say he's sorry. Imus says he's embarrassed by what he said and that his attempt at comedy went too far. Sharpton called for him to be fired for the remarks. The father of Anna Nicole Smith's daughter may be revealed today. DNA results from baby Dannielynn are expected to be announced in a Bahamian courtroom later. Smith's companion Howard K. Stern says he'll step aside if tests show photographer Larry Birkhead is the father. Stern says he cares deeply for Dannielynn and wants the best for her. "The Hills" star Jason Wahler is in trouble yet again. The 20 year-old was arrested early Sunday morning for assault and trespassing. Police say Wahler was wrestling with a guest at a Marriot hotel in Seattle. Authorities later found the reality star passed out and smelling strongly of alcohol. When they woke Wahler up, he reportedly yelled slurs at the officers. Just last month, Wahler was arrested for assaulting a tow truck driver and city worker. Singer Justin Timberlake is finally talking about his love life. The pop star tells British GQ he loves and respects his ex Cameron Diaz...even after their recent split. When asked about his other ex Britney Spears, Timberlake says he's not involved with her situation. Timberlake says he's busy with his career at the moment...he's in the middle of his FutureSex/Love Sounds concert tour which ends in September. Actor Danny Glover says he won't run for Mayor of San Francisco. An official looking "Danny Glover for Mayor" website was created by fans, creating a campaign buzz in the California city. The "Lethal Weapon" actor says he's flattered but has never considered running for the position. Glover has been politically active for years and supported Green Party candidate 4 years ago against Gavin Newsom. That's all for now, Thanks for watching today's entertainment update.
