Like many teens, Diddy‘s son Justin Combs is headed to UCLA this fall on a football scholarship. Unlike almost any other teen, however, Justin is also the focus of a debate over whether he should give the $54,000 scholarship he received back to the university, seeing as how he really, really does not need it.

M.I.A.’s stars aren’t bringing her much luck currently. Or she’s not making her own luck, depending how you see it. First, the singer decided it would be OK to flip the bird at a camera during the halftime show at the Super Bowl. The backlash has been swift and acerbic, and she might even be [...]
That’s it. They’re probably going to have hymns or something at the next Super Bowl. While Madonna guaranteed no Janet Jackson-esque nipple slips at her show during halftime, she probably didn’t feel the need to add any more clauses to her promise. Like “My guests and I won’t flip the bird on national television” for [...]
Take a look at this photograph of Rachel Weisz for L’Oreal Revitalift. It isn’t risque at all, is it? But it still has been banned in the U.K. by the Advertising Standards Authority.

Mark Wahlberg is very quickly retracting his incredibly insensitive, inappropriate comments about 9/11.

Dakota Fanning’s banned Marc Jacobs ad was deemed too saucy for the good people of Britain early today, though so far the spot is considered safe for American eyes. Despite what you might think about the advert itself, Dakota (and Jacobs) certainly aren’t the first people to come up with a controversial campaign that had [...]
Dakota Fanning’s modeling career has been blowing up over the past year, but at least one country wants to shield its eyes from her edgy editorials. The U.K. Ad Standards Authority just ruled that Dakota Fanning’s Marc Jacobs Oh Lola ad was too racy to run. According to the British organization, Dakota’s spot was inappropriate [...]
Hilary Swank, this Chechen birthday party scandal came out of nowhere! Almost as surprising as, say, hearing Justin Bieber get busted for international espionage, Entertainment Weekly reports that the New Year’s Eve star got dropped by her PR team 42West after attending festivities honoring alleged human rights violator Ramzan Kadyrov earlier this month.

It’s always so awkward when you go to the birthday party of someone you don’t know, and then you find out they are a Chechen leader accused of horrible human rights violations?
