Brett Ratner has apologized for using a gay slur over the weekend, but GLAAD says an apology is not enough.

First, the Tower Heist director, who has been out promoting his flick (the movie opened last weekend to mediocre numbers), told G4's Attack of the Show that he "banged" actress Olivia Munn.

Then, in a Q & A session following a Tower Heist screening, he was asked about rehearsing with the actors. His response? "Rehearsing is for f***."

Ratner might know comedy -- he also directed Rush Hour and produced Horrible Bosses -- but his comment was not laughed at.

GLAAD quickly condemned the statement via Twitter on Monday, calling it "unacceptable." The director quickly felt backlash, especially because he is scheduled to produce this year's Academy Awards. Many called for him to be fired.

Ratner said in a statement to The Wrap on Monday:

"It was a dumb way of expressing myself. Everyone who knows me knows that I don't have a prejudiced bone in my body. But as a storyteller I should have been much more thoughtful about the power of language and my choice of words."

GLAAD says Ratner's apology is "a start," but demands more.

Fox News is reporting that Lindsay Lohan's days in court in recent years have cost Los Angeles taxpayers millions.

Former federal prosecutor Michael Wildes told the outlet:

"From logistics to the transcript reporters to the clerks, it is exorbitantly expensive to have a court appearance. ... It costs tens of thousands of dollars per court appearance ... "

Attorney Vikki Ziegler said of Lindsay's trials: “It has likely cost taxpayers millions of dollars. This has been a four-year ordeal that taxpayers in California must foot."

Lohan, 25, was booked into the Century Regional Detention facility in Lynwood at 8:50 p.m. on Sunday, and was home in Venice Beach by 2 a.m. She had been senteced to 30 days in jail, but was released due to overcrowding. She still has community service hours to serve.

Johnny Depp and his Rum Diary co-star Amber Heard were spotted leaving the Plaza Athenee Hotel today for the film's Paris photo call, and both of the actors looked ready to hit the red carpet and work it for the cameras.

We're still bummed about the cancellation of The Playboy Club on NBC, but at least Amber gets to pose with the super sexy Mr. Depp and rake in a few bucks from her latest movie gig! Not such a bad way to earn a living...

Celebs are reacting via Twitter to the guilty verdict in Dr. Conrad Murray's trial. Murray was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson.

• La Toya Jackson: "VICTORY!!!!!! ... Michael I love you and I will continue to fight until ALL are brought to justice! ... Thank you EVERYONE for your love and support! It will ALWAYS be appreciated!"
  
  
• Nick Cannon: "GUILTY! Justice for Michael Jackson. The jury has spoken. What do you think?"



• Ryan Seacrest: "You could hear one shriek in the courtroom as the verdict was read. Not sure if it was for prosecution or defense, couldn't tell"



• Piers Morgan: "Whichever way you viewed the evidence, #ConradMurray 's behaviour was clearly unethical for a doctor. Right verdict. ... #ConradMurray didn't deliberately kill #MichaelJackson, but his negligent actions allowed the death to occur."



• Jill Zarin: "Just heard conrad murray found guilty. Finally justice is served. Now lets see the sentencing. WHat do you think he should get?"



• Holly Robinson Peete: "Do you think this GUILTY #conradmurray verdict will bring closure? I hope Michael Jackson's soul can just get a rest..."

Adam Lambert is honored in Out magazine’s Out 100, and the American Idol alum slathered on the makeup to re-enact a pose as Elvis Presley from Andy Warhol's iconic print. Loves it!

Adam reveals that Madonna and Michael Jackson were his biggest artistic influences growing up, telling the mag, "They were king and queen. And they both wore just as much makeup and were fabulous in their outfits and had music videos that were theatrical and cinematic, and that’s kind of the type of artist I see myself as—one that wants to create from the ground up, not only an amazing song, but on with a beat and a story and a look and a theme."

So what about his own music? "I want to make the kind of music I would listen to if I were out in a club," he says. Adam is putting the finishing touches on his second album, and it seems like he had far more control over this record than his first. "This is definitely the album that I want to make," he says.

Terry Richardson

Terry Richardson has released a few outtakes from his Vogue UK photo shoot with Dakota Fanning, and the actress looks at least a decade older than her 17 years in these shots. Of course, she still looks amazing, but we're wondering what happened to little girl who played Tom Cruise's young daughter in War of Worlds just six years ago!

P.S. We have to ask -- what's with the bruised knees?

After two days of deliberating, the jury has found Dr. Conrad Murray guilty of involuntary manslaughter. The King of Pop died on June 25, 2009 as a result of a lethal dose of Propofol.

After making sure all twelve jurors had voted guilty, Judge Michael E. Pastor and Murray's attorney, Ed Chernoff, agreed on Tuesday, November 29 as a sentencing date. Despite pleas from Chernoff to release Murray until then, Murray was cuffed and remanded into custody with no bail.

Photos and video coming soon ...

After almost two days of jury deliberation, a verdict has been reached in Dr. Conrad Murray's involuntary manslaughter trial.

Whether Murray is guilty or not guilty when it comes to the death of Michael Jackson has yet to be announced -- it is just known that the jury has come to a decision.

The Jackson family has been in court every day for the six-week trial.

La Toya Jackson Tweeted, "Verdict is FINALLY IN!!! I'm on my way! I'm shaking uncontrollably! ... Michael's spirit will be with us in the court room and he will make sure the right verdict is made."
