Michael Richards to appologize directly to those he offended

A retired judge will mediate a meeting between Michael Richards and the four black men that he targeted in a tirade of racial slurs during a comedy club performance.

Michael is slated to apologize in person to the men. The judge will also help determine if other actions should take place to resolve the matter such as a cash settlement. A time and place for the meeting has yet to be set.

Lawyer, Howard J. Rubenstein, who represents Richards says “My client Michael hopes to put it behind him,”

Attorney Gloria Allred said Richards should meet with her clients “to hear the pain that he inflicted on them and to apologize to them.”

Richards, who played the wacky neighbor Kramer on “Seinfeld,” has been on a campaign of contrition since his outburst at the Laugh Factory nightclub.

Stephen Colbert opens Museum

by Tricia

Stephen Colbert is giving back to The Nation. He’s helping to revitalize one of America’s depressed communities by offering them the opportunity to house the “Stephen Colbert Museum and Gift Shop.”

This multi-part celebration will air on Comedy Central’s Emmy-nominated “The Colbert Report” during the week of November 27 at 11:30 p.m.

Stephen has chosen rural Tuscumbia (pop: 9,000) in Alabama’s Colbert County as the location for the “Stephen Colbert Museum and Gift Shop.” He is convinced that it will provide a “can’t-miss” economic jolt for the community.

The “Stephen Colbert Museum and Gift Shop” is the world’s first museum entirely devoted to a celebration of Stephen Colbert. After all, since the county named itself after him (at least that’s what Stephen thinks), it’s the least he can do in return.

Over the course of the week, “The Colbert Report” will feature exclusive behind-the-scenes segments detailing the challenges involved in opening this tribute to himself, as well as a look at his primary competition for the hearts and souls (and cash) of Colbert County which is Ivy Green, the birthplace of Tuscumbia native Helen Keller.

Meg Ryan to get chubby for film

by Tricia

Meg Ryan has signed on to wear a fat suit for a new role. She’ll team up with Antonio Banderas in romantic comedy Homeland Security, in which she’ll play a slimmed-down diva.

Ryan will start the film off as an “enormous” woman and she’ll join the ranks of Gwyneth Paltrow and Julia Roberts who have donned fat suits.

The actress says of her character, “She was enormous, and now she’s foxy, and so she’s free to just dig herself. She starts out at 250 pounds before she sheds all that extra weight.”

Ryan revealed that her new fat suit took three hours to apply, but the actress isn’t complaining: “I like a character who is all about transformation and is all about ‘yes’ to life, when it used to be ‘no’ to life.”

The role has given Ryan the chance to work with another member of the Hanks family – Tom Hanks’ son Colin will play her son in the film. Ryan and Hanks enjoyed box office success in three hit romantic comedies.
