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! more ›

Yeah, that would have gone over well with Elin! more ›

Unfortunately for Jets coach Rex Ryan, what happens in Miami doesn't stay in Miami, thanks to technology. When apparently provoked at a mixed martial arts event (yes, a mixed martial arts event), Ryan flipped the bird and someone—naturally—caught the gesture on his cellphone. Now the NFL is looking into whether it will fine Ryan. more ›

From the NY Times: "A little more than a week after Goldman’s chairman and chief executive drew fire for saying the Wall Street giant was 'doing God’s work,' the bank said Tuesday that it would spend $500 million — or about 3 percent of the $16.7 billion it has so far set aside to pay its employees this year — to help thousands of small businesses recover from the recession." Also, CEO Lloyd Blankfein, on the cusp of handing out billions in bonuses, said, "We participated in things that were clearly wrong and have reason to regret. We apologize." more ›
