Jennifer Aniston Under Fire For Using The Word "Retard"

Posted on Thu Aug 19th, 2010 1:15pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Jennifer Aniston's appearance this morning on Live with Regis and Kelly has caused an uproar with the mentally challenged community due to her use of the word "retard."

During the interview to promote her latest film The Switch, Regis brought up her Harper's Bazaar photoshoot in which she dresses up as Barbra Streisand. He then says, "You're playing dress up." Aniston, 41, replies, "Yes, I play dress up. I do it for a living, like a retard."

Members of The Arc, a nonprofit advocate for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities, are up in arms. CEO Peter Berns released the following statement to X17online:

    “We estimate that there are probably in excess of 5 million people in the country with intellectual disabilities, and when you think about all of them, their family members and friends, you're talking about tens of millions of people who find the use of that term to be really offensive. Every time folks hear that word, it reminds them of all the discrimination and oppression they've experienced in their lives. Even if it wasn't intended to insult them, that is the effect of it."


The Arc is calling on Aniston to apologize for her "inadvertent remark." Jennifer Aniston's rep was not available for comment.

Kat Von D On Jesse James: "I'm His Type"

Kat Von D is dishing on her relationship with Jesse James just one day after confirming that they were a couple via Twitter (and then taking it back.)

"Just because I have tattoos doesn't mean, 'Oh, you guys are a perfect match,'" Kat, who looks a lot like James' tattooed fling Michelle McGee, told KROQ's Kevin & Bean. "I think that I'm his type on a different level than people would assume." Wife Sandra Bullock was definitely NOT his usual type (at least physically) so we can't help but wonder if Kat's trying to say she's a better fit for Jesse than his most recent ex!

Kat also says that Jesse's past relationship history doesn't bother her. "I am a believer that we're all human and we're all capable of making mistakes," she said. "I think if I were to be crucified for my drug addiction three years ago now, it would be hard to live with that. I'm sober now, and it's awesome. But I have made mistakes, too."

Even though Kat wouldn't talk about why she deleted her tweet about the relationship, she did say why she wrote it. "I try to respond to kids and fans and this one girl said 'Are you with Jesse James? I think we’re entitled to know since you’re putting yourself out there.' And I was like, no and that’s a false sense of entitlement. Just because I’m on TV doesn’t mean that I have to report to people."

So why do it in the first place?

Whitney Port Shedding Her Good Girl Image For A Sexy Shoot In Maxim

Posted on Thu Aug 19th, 2010 11:45am PDT       By X17 Staff

Whitney Port dress the city booties spiked booties kitson shopping Girl-next-door Whitney Port says she's "ready to channel my sexy side" and when a good girl wants to go bad, what does she do? Pose for Maxim, of course!

"Today I will be doing a shoot for Maxim!!!!" says The City star. "This is a pretty big deal for me because I've never done ANYTHING like this before. I've done my fair share of photo shoots in my career, but none of them were at the level of sexiness that Maxim is recognized for."

Whit goes on to say, "I've always been classified as the cutesy, girl next door type, so doing this shoot will give me the opportunity to step outside my comfort zone and show people an entirely different side of me."

Although we're certainly ready to see a whole new side of Whitney, earlier this week it was business-as-usual in a cute, but wholesome, striped dress! Wonder what boyfriend Ben Nemtin will think of her photo shoot?
