Staten Island native Christina Aguilera is sorry for botching the national anthem, okay everyone. Calm down. She says, “I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through." And Fergie, who totally wet her pants that time and whose band gave an even worse performance at the Super Bowl last night, wants you all to back off, saying she's only "human." She also admits that her own performance last night was not perfect (noting it was "pitchy"). But hey, she's just human! She's just a human getting paid absurd amounts of money to sing well!

Mr. Fergie Kicked Off Flight From LaGuardia!
Celebrities, they're just like us! Except sometimes they're entitled douchebags sitting in first class and acting like the laws don't pertain to them, only to the cattle in the back. Like young Josh Duhamel for example (we know, he seems so nice in the movies!). According to TMZ, Duhamel was on a flight from New York (LGA) to Kentucky yesterday and he flat out refused to turn his BlackBerry off—a move that eventually got him kicked to the curb.
Gossip Girl's Field Trip to Brooklyn Heights
While last week was definitely Long Island City week on Gossip Girl, this week's version of the "exclusive" Upper East Side dropped squarely in Brooklyn Heights. The opening scene, featuring some sort of perverted choir singing Fergie's "Glamorous," was shot on location at Packer Collegiate Institute's 3rd floor chapel. The gang revisited Packer later on at the contrived 'Ivy' reception, which went down in the school's backyard garden. From there, the gang didn't have to travel too far for their extracurriculars. The fantastic field hockey practice/Serena-Blair catfight took place only a few blocks away from the school at the base of the Brooklyn Bridge in Cadman Plaza Park.
The Cinecultist's Weekly Movie Pick: Extravagant Exploitation Edition
. The running time is longer than a usual Hollywood blockbuster but the steady stream of oozing fake blood, rapid fire witty details and laughs at movie clichés are never boring.
Paper Celebrates Nightlife (at 7:30pm)
Last night, just after 7pm, inside of a giant bubble in midtown, the Paper Nightlife Awards took place. In the world of fake awards ceremonies, this one takes the cake. Sadly, we didn't keep notes on who won what, so we cannot tell you who took home the "Best Designer with an Influence on the Nightlife Scene" award. We do recall La Esquina winning for "Restaurant with the Best Nightlife Scene." The white dude accepting the award snidely thanked "all the Mexicans" in his acceptance speech. Cultural exploitation is so fucking chic.
