An attorney for Donald Sterling’s girlfriend V. Stiviano says that the tapes of the Clippers owner going off on a racist tirade are legitimate, but due to pending litigation in which she’s a witness, they won’t be commenting further other than to say that she didn’t release the tapes to the media.
As for the players, in their game with the Warriors on Sunday, they dropped their shooting shirts in center court and wore their jerseys inside out with the logo hidden for warmups, adding black armbands.
Speaking of the comments, the longer version of the tape is out, and it’s worse than the original. Sterling is heard saying about his players, many of whom are African-American, “I support them and give them food,...

Birthday shoutouts go to Matthew McConaughey (above) who is 44, Kathy Griffin is 53, Markie Post is 63, and Ralph Macchio is 52.
Samuel L. Jackson has been cast in the film adaptation of Stephen King‘s Cell (which has been in the planning stages since the novel debuted back in 2006). My colleague Brian Juergens informs me that the character Sam is playing, Tom McCourt, is gay in the book, so it’ll be interesting to see if they keep it, or de-gay him (but hey, if he needs tips on playing a de-gayed character, he can just ask his co-star John Cusack, who’s done it twice in his career). But I really hope they don’t, because it’s been far too long since I’ve heard a gay character say “motherf*ckin.”

Gas prices are heading toward $5, single-family home sales are at a low-and with President Obama ignoring his base like Jimmy Carter did, he could end up being another one-term president, Eric Alterman writes.

Stylistically speaking, Barack Obama could hardly be further from Jimmy Carter if he really had been born in Kenya. Carter was a born-again Baptist who was raised on his father's peanut plantation and supported George Wallace on the road to the Georgia state house. Barack Obama-well, you know the story. But the two men have a great deal in common in their approach to the presidency, and not one of these similarities is good news for the Democrats or even for America. Both men rule without regard to the concerns of the base of their party. Both held themselves to be...
