We had a feeling this movie was gonna stir up some type of DRAMz!

Fritz Ostermueller's daughter, Sherrill is furious over how her dad was portrayed in the flick, 42, and cannot believe that producers would represent her pops as a racist when he really wasn't one.

During a very relevant scene in the film, the MLB pitcher threw a ball at Jackie Robinson's head, and shouted at him, "You don't belong here!!!," and considering that in real life, the ball apparently hit Robinson's arm, we can see why Sherrill is MAD!!

Fritz's daughter said:

Don't call it a comeback backtrack, he's been here for years!!

Rapper LL Cool J took more heat than your mama's casserole for Accidental Racist, his new duet with country legend Brad Paisley!

The controversial song asks rural Southern whites to empathize more deeply with urban blacks (and vice-versa), but after its release earlier this week both artists were panned for their involvement!

LL thinks it's a step in the right direction, however.

Ch-ch-check out his candid Tonight Show chat with Jay Leno (above)!

The phenomenal Phenomenon rapper & Any Given Sunday actor understands their track makes awkward and clumsy metaphors, but that's OK! His goal was to start a dialogue and he believes he succeeded.

Aww! With chocolate abs that sexy, you never need to explain yourself to us, LOLz!!

Mel B is not having the easiest time on America's Got Talent!

The former Scary Spice had a fright of her own getting booed on her first day!

Well now it's happened again! The Brit reportedly buzzed a stand up comedian for telling a joke about black taxi drivers being more fun.

We didn't hear the bit, but apparently it was too spicy for Mel! She said:

"I found it really offensive. There was no need to do a stereotypical black joke. It was not funny."

But co-judges Howard Stern and Heidi Klum disagreed- and so did the audience!

Unbelievable!! Pick the pieces of our exploded brain up off the floor because our minds are BLOWN!

An LL Cool J & Brad Paisley duet isn't something we expected to hear this lifetime, but both artists are totes talented… so why the eff not, right?!

As shocking as the the names on the track might be, the REAL surprise here is Accidental Racist's controversial and sensitive subject matter!

Ch-ch-check out Brad & LL's unanticipated country/rap collaboration for yourself (above) to hear precisely what we mean!!

We knew the Penn family had a history of violent encounters with paparazzi, but this is ridiculous!

An unlucky cameraman asked acclaimed actor Sean Penn questions today as he was entering a Beverly Hills medical building, and the Dead Man Walking star strolled on past without word, response, or incident!

That's not unusual, the Pap gets ignored all the time!

Unfortunately, Sean's 19-year-old son was less forgiving of the harmless questioning!

Young Hopper Penn stormed across the street and

And just when we thought the dust had settled around the latest Lena Dunham controversy…

Turns out, the Girls creator HERSELF is not too cool with comedienne Lisa Lampanelli using the N-word to describe their friendship, and despite the argument one could make that there was no demeaning or belittling intention behind its usage in this specific instance, she is still HELLA uncomfortable with Twitter being the place to discuss such an explosive, hotly-debated issue!

After being criticized on the social media site for not taking a public stance on the drama, Lena responded:

Oh for goodness sake!

If this is true, then we are SO THRILLED he is speaking up!

This is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE!
