Marlo Hampton: I'm SORRY About Slur, I ADMIRE The Gay Community!

Posted: 30 Jan 2012 08:13 AM PST

Marlo Hampton is sorry y'all.  When she got all in her feelings on last night's episode of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" during a catfight with Sheree Whitfield, she dropped the F bomb (the one that rhymes with maggot).  And the Housewives (and many viewers) were pretty shocked.

 

Now, she's taken to her website to issue a long apology.  Check it inside...

The utter foolery that was last night's South Africa trip episode of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" rasied many an-eyebrow.  For one, the fact Sheree & Marlo were literally across the world fighting like 10-year-olds over ish like Marlo not getting invited to Sheree's friend's party (despite the fact the two are NOT friends) is just embarrassing.  And secondly, dropping a gay slur, or any slur for that matter--just because you're mad--when you claim many of the people in that community are like family to you, is just odd. 

Sheree mentioned that her friend was gay, after the girls asked if this was more than a friend to her.  In the video above, when the uninvited Marlo got offended that Sheree didn't invite her to Sheree's friend's party, she went off. 

Marlo's exact words: "Well anyway, that's why you don't have a man. Go and hang with them f*****s with your ugly ass." 

As usual, Marlo used her gift of too much gab to apologize today and explain her actions.  She expressed her disappointment in herself and stated she wants to continue to build her "strong relationship" with the gay community.  Here's what she posted on her website:

It is with great disappointment in myself and sincere regret that I would like to issue to my friends, my most ardent supporters, and my followers, this statement:

I would like to offer from the bottom of my heart the fullest and most heartfelt apology for my recent use of an anti-gay slur. When I used this word, I was not mindful of the demeaning connotation that this has in the gay community. My speech was irresponsible, thoughtless and said with the intention of conveying anger rather than as a statement on my feelings towards the gay community as a whole.

My first action, after the incident was to contact my closest friend and assistant of 8 years and to confess what I had done, to express my sadness and regret, and to ask him for his forgiveness. I was devastated at the thought of having hurt or embarrassed him as well as any member of the gay community and relish this opportunity to publicly apologize. My friends have embraced me, supported me, withheld judgment of me and have meant a lot to me over the years. I would never abuse their kindness and friendship and would never want to hurt them or demean them in any way.

I applaud and admire this community for their triumph over a sometimes harsh, mean spirited society that discriminates and even violently attacks those who are different. These are obstacles that I relate to and that I have been inspired by them to overcome. I celebrate this community and am saddened by any indication otherwise, that my actions may have caused.

I look forward to continuing to build my strong relationship with you, my followers and supporters, and those of you who do not yet know me and my heart. I look forward to work to regain your trust, respect and your love which has so empowered me over the years. I also thank you for allowing me to address you personally and to let you know how deeply sorry I am.

With Love,

Marlo
 

Sigh.  Meanwhile, her friend and hairstylist Lawrence Washington, who also appears on "RHOA", tweeted last night:

Marlo and I have spoke about the comment she made 2 Sheree. There was no shade@ me personally. We r great friends and truly value each other. Marlo LIVES for the Kids!!! And so does Sheree! I love them both dearly!

Alrighty then...

Here's the foolywang fight aftermath:

KEEPIN' IT MOVIN': Halle Berry, Oliver Martinez & Nahla Lunch And Hit The Beach

Posted: 30 Jan 2012 07:43 AM PST

Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez were spotted taking little Nahla out to lunch and for some "fun in the sun" at the beach yesterday.  See the pics inside and find out why Nahla may soon be in counseling.

We told you earlier about the drama between Gabriel Aubry and Nahla's nanny....and that event (among others) may send Nahla into counseling.

The L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services is recommending that 3-year-old Nahla go into counseling, mainly due to Gabe's alleged anger management issues. 

The former couple is due in court today where it's expected that Halle will ask the judge to prohibit Gabriel from having any contact with Nahla until after the investigation.  Also, Gabe has asked for a restraining order AGAINST the nanny as he thinks she is making up stories in favor of Halle.  Just messy.

 

But on a happier note (besides Halle being back on crutches and in a cast).....

Oliver and Halle took Nahla to lunch at The Little Door in Hollywood yesterday.

 

And then.....

The trio had a fun day at the beach.  No shirt for her though?

One thing is for sure....Nahla seems to love Olivier.  And that's a good thing.

Amber Rose Cops A New FACE TATTOO For Party At Cameo

Posted: 30 Jan 2012 06:24 AM PST

Amber Rose was spotted boo'd up with her man Wiz Khalifa outside her party at Cameo nightclub on South Beach Saturday night.  But it wasn't the ass grabbing that caught folks attention....it was her new face tatt!

 

Pics inside....

Someone was inspired by Mike Tyson's face tatt, because Amber copped one just like it.  Not sure if it's permanent (doubt it and hope not), but seems like she was going for a catchy look for her big Cameo party this weekend.

The "model" was spotted outside the club hugged up on Wiz.  Theses two are constantly gushing their love for each other...and their wedding plans.  Wiz told Hollyscoop last week:

“We’re gonna get married when the time is right, we’re enjoying each other, just having fun. Her music career is taking off. I would hate to stunt that, it’s gonna happen, it’s gonna happen.”

And Amber recently told Billboard:

“We do want to get married and will get married, but we want to get married, enjoy each other, have babies and be able to take time off. We’ll get married when things calm down a little bit.”

BONUS: Speaking of Amber's Mike Tyson-like facial tattoo, Mike will be inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame. STORY

 

Nick Cannon COVERS BLEU Magazine's "MAN OF THE YEAR" Issue, Says He Was BUILT For Fatherhood

Posted: 30 Jan 2012 05:13 AM PST

Nick Cannon covers the newest issue of "BLEU" where he's named "MAN OF THE YEAR." See what he has to say about loving Mariah Carey and being a father inside..........

In the latest issue of BLEU magazine, Nick Cannon (who is looking good these days by the way) dishes on the joys of fatherhood and what it's like to be in love with Mariah Carey.

Here are the highlights......

On romance and Mariah Carey

"Mariah and I are both hopeless romantics.  We just made a pact to say that we want to be in this because we enjoy each other and we love each other...We want to be successful at being in a relationship; we want to have a good time."

On relationships

"A relationship shouldn't seem like something you have to work at; it is not a task.  We always wanted a fairy tale relationship...and the drama that normally comes with it, we [can] do without."

On fatherhood

"I was built for fatherhood.  I grew up in a family with a lot of kids...Ihave taken care of kids my whole life.  As soon as my children were born, they became first and everything else became secondary."

On being a sex symbol

"[Being labeled a sex symbol] comes with the territory when being a solid husband and good father.  Women find that kind of stuff appealing and sexy. Growing up, I was always the smallest kid in the school...I was the skinny and lanky dude...So I embrace [being labeled a sex symbol] now."

RED CARPET FAB: Zoe Saldana, Viola Davis & Shaun Robinson GET FAB At The 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards

Posted: 29 Jan 2012 06:24 PM PST

The 2012 SAG Awards were earlier this evening and several YBF chicks like Zoe Saldana, Viola Davis and Shaun Robinson turned heads on the red carpet.  Get the deets inside....

Earlier tonight, the 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards were held at The Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California.

Zoe Saldana dazzled in this pearly white couture creation from the House of Givenchy with Tiffany and Co. Jewelry.  Sees to weigh her down a bit--but when you're handed couture Givenchy, you wear it.

Octavia Spencer rocked a gorgeous white and silver spring/summer 2012 Tadashi Shoji.

Octavia also took home the award for Best Supporting Actress in The Help.

And when speaking about her plus-one Cougartown's Josh Hopkins, she said, "I'm a cougar tonight, but Josh is my dear friend so I'm not gonna put my claws in him."

The Help star Viola Davis looked absolutely amazing in Marchesa, which she paried with Jimmy Choo shoes. The white chiffon, the gold embellishments, the revealing neckline, all get a YES.

Shaun Robinson looked stunning in this pink Jack Guisso gown and Alexis Bittar accessories.

Amber Riley wore a cute black lace dress with a large bow.  That bow is risky...but her personality can pull it off.

And "Southland" actress Regina King, who was a presenter as well as social media ambassador for the show, wore lilac Alberta Ferreti.

Pretty.
