After a week of criticism, ol’ Harpo finally wises up:
Oprah Winfrey is removing gospel singer BeBe Winans from her show’s “karaoke challenge” until charges against him for allegedly pushing his ex-wife to the ground are resolved.
Winans appeared on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” last week and was seen in promos for future appearances. Now he’ll be cut out of the segment, said Winfrey spokesman Don Halcombe on Thursday.
Winfrey was criticized by some bloggers this week for including Winans after she had taken a strong stand against domestic violence earlier this year. She did a show on the topic when singer Chris Brown assaulted his then-girlfriend Rihanna.
We’re expected to believe that Oprah didn’t know about the charges. She also doesn’t know that stuffed-crust pepperoni pizza contains these things called calories.
Speaking of Chris Brown, the cranium-cracking crooner just wants to remind you that he’s, y’know, all sorry and everything:
In an interview with MTV News’ Sway Calloway that airs Friday night (November 6) on MTV, Brown talked about what his many apologies really mean.
“When I apologize, I really apologize, definitely, about the situation, like me and her personally, obviously,” Brown said. “We’ve exchanged, I’ve exchanged my apologies for her, but when I do it publicly, it’s for the people who I let down: It’s for the fans, it’s for all the people, even the sponsors, even the people that have invested in me and thought that I was a good enough role model.”
That’s great. Now, how about apologizing to the rest of us?
By the way, his new single is called “I Can Transform Ya.” Yeah, he can transform a beautiful young woman into a mass of bloody bruises.

Chris Brown transformed me. From someone who didn’t give a sh!t that he existed, to someone who fervently wished he didn’t. Congrats, Chris! You’re a better magician than David Blaine!
Don’t leave me with another weekend of staring at the water bottle/pumpkin! Tips anyone? Please…my eyes can’t take another weekend of this.
He transformed me too, Beige! Wow, I should so run out and buy whatever the hell he’s calling that CD that I really hope is a massive bomb because if it isn’t, I will spend just a little bit longer crying myself to sleep every night over the stupidity of humanity.
All of my tips involve Bobby Jindal.
And he’s not as funny anymore now that the scary Mr. Rogers speech and the spending a bajillion dollars taking helicopters to church stories have been beaten to a pulp.
From here on, Ms. Winfrey asks that you kindly refer to her as ‘The Holy Hot Water Bottle’. Thank you.
