    Mel Gibson Reaches out to Michael Richards

    In a four-hour interview with Entertainment Weekly (and honestly, if that's not a sign of career demise in and of itself, we don't know what is), Mel Gibson responds to an interviewer's oblique reference to Michael "Kramer" Richards' recent bout of racist Tourette's at the Laugh Factory with a declaration of sympathy. Apparently, he sort of understands what the dude is going through.
    I felt like sending Michael Richards a note. I feel really badly for the guy. He was obviously in a state of stress. You don't need to be inebriated to be bent out of shape. My heart went out to the guy. Poor f—-er, he's getting it now. They'll probably torture him for a while and then let him go. I like him.
    Being crack fedora wearing investigative reporters here, we've obtained the note that Mel sent Michael — it's after the jump. It kind of shocked us, to be honest. Also, we think that Mel might have been spending some time with Lindsay Lohan. Maybe he's thinking of casting her in Apocalypto 2 or something. More »

    Mel Gibson's Outspoken Support For Michael Richards Not Exactly The Kind Of Forgiveness He Was Hoping For

    The inevitable quote we have all been bracing for—in which a certain margarita-loving Malibu land baron harboring a mistrust of Jews and a sugar tit chip on his shoulder weighs in on recent events involving a former sitcom star's choice to silence chatty comedy club patrons by angrily sharing his historical knowledge of half-century-old, flatware-assisted lynching practices—has finally come. Not surprisingly, the quotee's heart goes out to the most recent victim stricken by the highly contagious outbreak of Celebrity Racist Tourette's Syndrome currently sweeping through Hollywood: More »

    Michael Richards Not As Jewish As Previously Claimed

    Remember that time that Michael Richards' newly hired crisis manager tried to diffuse his client's less-publicized, anti-Semitic comedy club tirade by claiming that the actor is Jewish, so all that talk about the fucking Jews causing Jesus' death was just a little bit of role-playing fun at the expense of his own people? Apparently, when he told his publicist that he was a member of the faith, he didn't realize that the official conversion process might be more rigorous than squeezing his eyes shut, imagining his participation in a bris, and declaring himself a a certified son of Abraham. Beleaguered flack Howard Rubenstein explains Richards' complicated Jewish-ishness to the AP: More »

    The Michael Richards Apology Tour: Kramer Tells Jesse Jackson About His Quest For Closure And His Black Childhood Friends

    On Sunday, the Michael Richards Apology Tour made a stop at Jesse Jackson's syndicated radio show, a venue where there was no live studio audience to undermine with nervous laughter the seriousness of his clumsy explanations that his remarks about African-American hecklers hanging upside down "with a fucking fork up [their] ass" came from a rage-place, not a hate-place. During his interview with Jackson, Richards upgraded his level of regret from "busted up" to "shattered," and claimed that the N-bombs he so liberally detonated throughout his onstage tirade are not a part of his vocabulary, even though "the show business" makes them too "accessible" to misguided "young whites" who might think racist meltdowns are "cool": More »

    Breaking: Michael Richards Also Hates The Seinfeld Target Demo

    Kramer's having kind of a bad week, isn't he? TMZ reports that new accusations have just surfaced from a couple who claim that Richards went literally Mel Gibson on them during a show at the Improv. But maybe he was just cracking some particularly edgy jokes? Well, judge for yourselves (again):
    You f***ing Jew. You people are the cause of Jesus dying.
    We're saddened by these allegations, but we're gladdened by them in a way, too: it might mean that we'll inherit Nana and Pop Pop's big screen early. They clearly will never be watching the one show they watch ever again. More »

    Michael Richards Apologizes to "Afro Americans" for "Force Field of Hate"

    You can see bits and pieces of this all over the place today, but here's the whole enchilada — Michael Richards appearing via satellite on The Late Show with David Letterman last night, during a scheduled appearance by his pal Jerry Seinfeld. Richards apologizes for his on-stage racist tirade last week, and while he appears totally sincere and contrite, the whole thing comes loaded with enough squirmy discomfort to make Andy Kaufman's ghost rise up and applaud.

    Behind The Scenes Of Michael Richards' Apology Tour

    A Defamer operative stumbled upon the subject of the racist celebrity meltdown du jour, Michael Richards, whose rambling and vicious verbal attack against some African American hecklers Friday night momentarily transformed the Sunset Strip's Laugh Factory into something more akin to the Hatred Sweatshop. The sighting occurred at CBS Television City, where Richards was likely taping the satellite interview set to air on The Late Show with David Letterman tonight: More »

    Michael Richards Apology Tour To Begin On Tonight's Letterman Show

    We've already set our TiVos for tonight's episode of the Late Show, anticipating that David Letterman would probably have some questions for guest Jerry Seinfeld about a certain former castmate who recently tried out some controversial new material at the Laugh Factory. A tipster tells us that the taping has just ended, and that the Official Michael Richards "Sorry About The N-Bombs And Lynching Remarks" Tour has begun in earnest: More »

    Kramer's Racist Meltdown: First Predictable Castmate Reaction!


    Extra reports that Jerry Seinfeld has already beaten his lower-billed castmates to press with a public statement disapproving of Kramer's N-bomb, saying, "I am sick over this. I'm sure Michael is also sick over this horrible, horrible mistake. It is so extremely offensive. I feel terrible for all the people who have been hurt." While this expression of heartsickness from the series' titular star should obviate the need for further comments from the Seinfeld crew, we suspect that The Insider, Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, and no fewer than five separate E! countdown shows won't rest until they ambush every actor who's ever appeared on the show's call sheet, hoping for a great "get" featuring the Soup Nazi's poignant call for tolerance after he patiently explains to a reporter that his character didn't actually hate Jews, just people who didn't order their lobster bisque in a properly deferential way.

    Shattering Your Dreams Dept: Kramer is a Racist

    Seinfeld's Kramer, aka Michael Richards, offended some audience members with racial-themed jokes at a comedy show on Friday, TMZ reports. Maybe his nuanced humor just flew over oversensitive audience members' heads? Uh, maybe: here's some of what Richards is quoted as saying.
    "You can talk, you can talk, you're brave now motherf**ker. Throw his ass out. He's a nigger! He's a nigger! He's a nigger! A nigger, look, there's a nigger!"
    Guess Kramer isn't such a nutty nice guy after all. Related: hot ladies do not often sleep with stand-up comedians, not a lot of people who live on the Upper West Side drive cars, and "shrinkage" is actually just a really lame excuse. More »
