I don't know what the deal is with Kanye... When he first came on the music scene with "College Drop Out", (his debut album), his style was great, his attitude humble... so is it really wrong for me to think that his rise to fame has now altered his state of mind to think he is better than everybody; has the right to steal "Once in a Lifetime" moments from other rising stars? I'm getting pretty sick of his antics and I'm not quite sure that if I were Taylor Swift, I could or would accept an apology for a time in my life that is forever tainted because of a drunk babbling idiot. When are they going to start banning Kanye from events such as these? Every time he hits the mic in a public forum, he thinks his opinion is the only opinion and worst of all, he picks venues where the world will see and hear it... I like the music, but I am really starting to dislike the artist.

This guy's a genius!

"Massachusetts police say a man who brought officers coffee as an apology for his violent behavior during an arrest 12 years ago, created a similar ruckus the very next day."

Senate backs apology for slavery among African Americans - http://bit.ly/3eK2mO

Slavery is a very sore subject for millions of people. What will an apology do? Will it ease the minds of those jaded by such a terrible act? Is there ANY possible way of moving forward?

What are your thoughts?

Here's an interesting take (playing devil's advocate) on the consequences of apologies. Apologies can either mend fences or break them down.

What does everyone think? Did Davis get too caught up in the moment? Will the kid get an apology?

We all know he took female fertility drugs, which is common for steroid users to decrease their prominent testosterone level after usage.

Probably the dumbest thing ever! What were they thinking? A low flying plane over NYC just for a photo opp? People run terrified with 9/11 flashbacks. How come no one thought this may be a bad idea beforehand?

Apparently during a performance of Chris Angel's magic act Chris spotted Perez Hilton (the gossip celebrity blogger) - stopped his show and verbally assaulted him. Angel's staff have submitted an apology but I am not sure if it is really heart felt by the man who acted so childishly. You can read more of the article here:

In a complete 180. Perez Hilton apologized and then RETRACTED his apology to Miss California about his rant about her views on gay marriage. There are links to Perez's fly off the handle comments you can look on your own they are really mean so I don't want to put the link up here.

Can't we all just get along? And Mr. Hilton.... that is a lot of controversy for one week. Think of all the good you could have spread in the time and media outlets instead of all this garbage. Be nice to one another!

No one seems to know as much about apologizing as celebrities and politicians these days. Here is another example where actor Jamie Foxx made some off color comments about Miley Sirus on his radio show and has spent the last week apologizing for it.
Jamie Foxx apologizes for his comments about Miley Sirus "I so apologize ... and this is sincere. I am a comedian, and you guys know that whatever I say, I don’t mean any of it. And sometimes, as comedians, as we do, we go a little bit too far." Foxx went on to say "Miley, I apologize, so I’ll call you. I got a daughter too, so I completely understand."
