CBS has finally offered an explanation for Wednesday morning's double standard in which they blurred out Adam Lambert kissing another man yet aired Madge and Britney's kiss uncensored.

The statement from the CBS rep reads:

"We gave this some real thought. The Madonna image is very familiar and has appeared countless times including many times on morning television. The Adam Lambert image is a subject of great current controversy, has not been nearly as widely disseminated, and for all we know, may still lead to legal consequences."

That's the best they could come up with?????

It still doesn't excuse their blatant homophobia and sexism!

Thoughts???

We're disgusted by CBS and this double standard!!!!!!

As we previously mentioned, Adam Lambert appeared on CBS' The Early Show on Wednesday morning to address the controversy surrounding his kiss at the AMAs.

But!

The network blurred out the image of Glambert kissing his band member even though moments later CBS aired the clip of Madonna and Britney making out at the VMA's completely uncensored.

How is this okay???????

While visiting boy toy Jesus Luz' family, Madonna took time during her vacay to see some of the not so glamorous parts of Brazil.

Touring the lawless city of Dona Marta, her Madgesty insisted on wearing a bullet-proof vest under her leather jacket.

Good call!

Just like in Malawi, M is planning to build a school in the shantytown after raising $10 million dollars from local businessmen.

Dayumm! That's a lot of $$$! But who could say no to Madonna?

"I only met her once, at a premiere. I was waiting outside with a group of people, surrounded by photographers, and she was walking towards us. I said, 'Madonna, come here,' because she looked so alone, and we were photographed together. She was charming and very respectful to me, but you know, she looked very lonely."

It's one of the most talked about movies of the year and, no doubt, everyone is wondering how Precious didn't make it to the screen sooner.

Well, it would have, if Madonna had had her way!

Yes, Madonna was eager to make author Sapphire's novel Push, which was renamed Precious, into a major motion picture. And she wasn't alone, the author recalls:

"There was this really earnest college student who wanted to do his first film. Then Madonna wanted to produce it. I was like, 'Madonna? Idon't think this is her film.' Then I remember this one producer told me that he had found Precious - And it was going to be Brandy. Excuse me? I literally almost hung up on him."

A diss for Madonna AND Brandy? We'll admit, the shut down for Brandy is well deserved (this isn't a Lifetime movie afterall), but it would have been interesting to see where Madonna would have taken the film.

But then again, Oprah seems the most logical choice. We think she made the might decision in waiting.

Have any of U seen the flick? Thoughts?

Madonna and her boy toy Jesus Luz arrived in Rio de Janeiro, Brazi,l together via private jet on Monday.

The Queen of Pop is reportedly going to meet Jesus' parents!

Apparently Madge is a bit nervous because his mother is 15 years younger than she is!

But what could they possibly be up$$$et about?

Things are getting very serious between Madonna and boy toy Jesus Luz!

The 51-year-old Queen of Pop is off to meet Jesus' parents, Cristiane Regina da Silva and Luis Heitor Pinto da Luz.

According to a source close to the family, the cougar:

"Really does love and need Jesus - and she does not hold all the power in their relationship. He grew up with strong Christian beliefs. He wants to marry and be taken seriously. She doesn't want to lose Jesus and so the visit to his parents is her way of saying she will make this relationship permanent. He wants proof of commitment and he wants her to make an honest man of him."

Sounds a little demanding to us! But if Jesus thinks "an honest man" means having a career that he probably would have never had if he wasn't dating her, then she's well on her way.

What's even more shocking is there's buzz that meeting his parents means wedding bells could be in the future!

Madonna biographer Randy Taraborrelli reveals she is "telling close friends and family that 'I definitely see myself marrying him. It's on the table'."

We have a hard time believing that, especially after her appearance on Letterman when she said she'd "rather get run over by a train" than re-marry.

Maybe they should take a cue from the Jolie-Pitts. That's working out just fine!

To call this a remix would be an insult. Akon has reworked Madonna's Celebration - adding vocals by in addition to creating new music - and created a wholly different song.

And it is AMAZING!

This is so fire!

Candela! Candela! Candela!

Ch-ch-check it out (below).

Sounds like he may get a second chance with this new image of his!

Yankees player Alex Rodriguez used to have quite the shady reputation with steroid and stripper scandals, a messy public divorce, gallivanting with Madonna and being what some might call ungrateful for his giant contract.

Basically advertisers wanted nothing to do with him.

But A-Rod has seemingly cleaned up his act and with a World Series win under his belt he's looking much more marketable these days. His Hollywood actress girlfriend Kate Hudson seems to be helping his image, too, being billed as his good luck charm.

He just has to make wise choices as to the advertising direction he wants to go. Experts think he would be a good match for an electronics company but under no circumstances should he endorse anything having to do with "performance" lest we think he's on the 'roids again!

Richard Yaffa, cheif executive of GroupM's entertainment, sports and cause partnerships says of A-Rod:

"His stock has improved in New York. This next period of time will determine if he has national potential."

What do U think?
