Should John Mayer be forgiven for using the N-Word?
John Mayer is very, very, very sorry he used the N-word in a Playboy interview.
Well that’s at least what he said in a string of tweets on Twitter.
Re: using the ‘N word’ in an interview: I am sorry that I used the word. And it’s such a shame that I did because the point I was trying to make was in the exact opposite spirit of the word itself. It was arrogant of me to think I could intellectualize using it, because I realize that there’s no intellectualizing a word that is so emotionally charged
Should he be forgiven?
The “Your Body Is a Wonderland” singer has gotten slammed by everyone from rappers to blogs for using the N-word in the raw.
“Someone asked me the other day, “What does it feel like now to have a hood pass?” And by the way, it’s sort of a contradiction in terms, because if you really had a hood pass, you could call it a n—-er pass. Why are you pulling a punch and calling it a hood pass if you really have a hood pass? But I said, “I can’t really have a hood pass. I’ve never walked into a restaurant, asked for a table and been told, ‘We’re full.’”
Mayer hasn’t addressed his other foot-way-in-your-mouth moments talking about all that sex he had with Jennifer Aniston and Jessica Simpson, and how his manhood is a racist.
“I don’t think I open myself to it. My (penis) is sort of like a white supremacist. I’ve got a Benetton heart and a f—in’ David Duke (penis). I’m going to start dating separately from my (penis),” Mayer said in the interview noting that black women like Holly Robinson Peete Hilary from “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” And Kerry Washington might have a shot with him.

“30 Rock” star taken to hospital following “misunderstanding”
It seems that Alec Baldwin and his daughter still have major issues to work out.
The Emmy award-winning actor was taken to a New York City hospital over an “misunderstanding,” according to online reports.
Rescuers were called around 12:10 a.m. after the star of NBC’s “30 Rock” got into an argument with his now 14-year-old daughter Ireland.
She said he had threatened to take pills and was unresponsive, according an Associated Press source.
Baldwin was woke when medics arrived and agreed to be taken to the hospital.
He was there for more than an hour, according to the New York Daily News.
“This was a misunderstanding on one person’s part. Alec was quickly released from the hospital; he’s completely fine and will be at work today,” the actor’s spokesman, Matthew Hiltzik, said in a statement.
Baldwin who is set to host the Oscars with Steve Martin on March 7, has had a bumpy relationship with his daughter and ex-wife Kim Basinger.
Back in 2007, he drew considerable heat when a voice mail of him call the child a “rude, thoughtless little pig” was released.
Baldwin threatened to to straighten the girl out. He later blamed Basinger for the frustration he felt when he yelled at Ireland.
Baldwin has said his relationship with Ireland had since improved.
In his book, “A Promise to Ourselves,” Baldwin offered advice based on his own experience with divorce litigation and talked about how one parent can turn a child against another parent.
