Finally!! Miley Cyrus has posted a new blogpost on her official fan club website MileyWorld.com wherein she finally apologizes for the harm caused by that controversial photo that came out last week. Here is the full text of Miley’s apology, all spelling and grammatical errors are her own:

Something I Want You To Know
Posted on Feb 08, 2009

I want to thank all of my fans for their support not only this week, but always! I really wanted to stress how sorry I am if the photo of me with my friends offended anyone. I have learned a valuable lesson from this and know that sometime my actions can be unintentionally hurtful. I know everything is a part of GODs ultimate plan, and mistakes happen so that eventually I will become the woman he aspires me to be. Peace and love, Miles.

Now this is an apology that I can live with. Not only does she offer remorse for her wrongdoing but she claims to have learned a valuable lesson from this incident. As long as she learns that what she did was hurtful to others, she can actually grow and mature from this experience. This apology does not make me a Miley Cyrus fan per se but I can absolutely respect that she finally owned up to her actions and publicly expressed her apologies for having offended people (which might, in turn, inform her young fans that her offensive actions should NOT be emulated). On this matter, I think we’re square. But, I gotta say, I’m not sure what God’s plan has to do with any of this … I’m just glad that she seems to have learned her lesson.

Here are a few supercute pics of Harlow Winter Richie-Madden out for a little stroll in SoCal with her father and twin Joel Madden over the weekend … on a day when there is so much ugliness burning up the Internets, I thought it would be nice to pause in order to enjoy a few photos are purely and entirely adorable:

I swear, I never tire of posting pics of this adorable little girl. I can’t even believe how much she looks EVEN MORE like her father with each passing day. These two make the cutest pair … father and daughter, too cute for words. As much as I love seeing Harlow spending time with her mother Nicole Richie, I think I really prefer the photos of her hanging out with her daddy … someone alert CuteOverload.com, these two need a special prize or something :)

After 21 preview performances and 156 regular performances, Equus ended its limited run on Broadway in NYC last night. Principle actors Daniel Radcliffe, Richard Griffiths and Kate Mulgrew came out to sign autographs for the assembled fans outside of the theater and said farewell to them and to the Great White Way once and for all after their final bows were taken inside the Broadhurst Theatre … here are a few pics:

“Harry Potter” co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Tony and Olivier Award winner Richard Griffiths end[ed] their run in the limited engagement of Equus — Peter Shaffer’s gripping play about the bewildering crime of a teen-age boy — Feb. 8 at 3 PM at the Broadhurst Theatre. [T]he acclaimed revival will have played 21 previews and 156 regular performances. Previews began Sept. 5, 2008, with an official opening Sept. 25. Radcliffe and Griffiths, who played to sold-out crowds in the London revival of the Shaffer play, reprised their work for Broadway audiences. Radcliffe stars as Alan Strang with Griffiths as Dr. Martin Dysart. Ever-busy stage and screen actress Kate Mulgrew plays Hesther Saloman, the role created on Broadway by veteran actress Marian Seldes in 1974. In Equus, “psychiatrist Martin Dysart investigates the blinding of six horses, a savage act committed by an unassuming 17-year-old stable boy, Alan Strang, whose family life is rife with bigotry and religious fervor. As Dysart exposes the truths behind the boy’s demons, he finds himself face-to-face with his own.” Playwright Shaffer based the play on a true story told to him by a friend … Thea Sharrock, who directed the London run, directed on Broadway as well. The creative team also features set and costume designer John Napier, lighting designer David Hersey and sound designer Gregory Clarke. Radcliffe made his West End leading-role debut in Shaffer’s 1973 drama at London’s Gielgud Theatre on Feb. 27, 2007, following previews that began Feb. 16. Radcliffe drew positive reviews from the London critics and lots of attention from gossip columnists because of the much-written-about nude scene. Equus bowed on Broadway in October 1974 at the Plymouth Theatre. The production — directed by John Dexter — won the 1975 Tony for Best Play and ran 1,209 performances. The current production marks the show’s first Broadway revival.

Alas … no more nekkid Daniel Radcliffe on Broadway any longer. I’m not sure how many of you were able to see the production during its run but I was very lucky to be able to see it back in September when it was still in previews. I have a sneaking suspicion that the play will do very well with Tony Award nominations later on this year. Radcliffe, Griffiths and Mulgrew are all superb theater actors and I will happily support the nomination of any of them for Tony Awards. I guess we’ll see if those noms will come to pass. And so, as we bid farewell to Equus on Broadway, let’s think back and remember those naughty NSFW nekkid pics of Daniel Radcliffe on stage during one of his performances. If a bold performance in the nude isn’t worth a Tony, then I don’t know what is ;)

Good news on the Britney Spears front today!! As you may recall, last week we learned that Britney Spears struck a deal with Kevin Federline to allow her children to accompany her on tour this Spring as she brings her The Circus starring Britney Spears Concert Tour to venues across the country. Today, TMZ offers new deets that explain just what that deal is comprised of and also offers amazing child custody news in Britney’s favor. The contracts have been signed, it’s now absolutely official:

It’s official… Britney Spears will go on tour — for a price. We’ve learned Jamie Spears and K-Fed have now both signed the document we told you about last week, which clears the path for Brit taking her kids on the road for her upcoming concert tour. What, you ask, is in it for Federline?? How bout $5,000 a week. As we first reported, the way the deal goes is Jayden James and Sean Preston will follow Britney to three hubs — New Jersey, New Orleans and Los Angeles. Britney will commute back and forth from each hub during the tour. She’s also renting houses in New Jersey and New Orleans for Kevin if he wants to come along for the ride. But K-Fed gets the $5,000 a week, whether he shows up or not. But wait, there’s more. We’ve learned the deal Jamie and K-Fed signed memorializes the custody arrangement they’ve all been following since last year. Britney gets the kids 3 days and nights a week, according to the new agreement, which will remain in effect after the tour is over. We’re also told many weeks, Britney has the kids more than Kevin. So in effect it’s 50/50 custody. Score another victory for Brit’s lawyer, Laura Wasser, who sealed the deal.

While I don’t think this new arrangement is exactly 50/50 custody in the technical sense per se, the time the children spend with each parent is split about 50% so … semantics aside, it looks as if Britney has finally won back as much custody of her children as she’s ever had. This is great news. Money talks, I knew all along that for the right prince, K-Fed would stop fighting and give in. It’s a shame that Britney has to pay her children’s father to be with her kids but, at least she gets the time with them that she’s always wanted. This is really great news.

In other Britney (possibly amazing) news, BreatheHeavy.com is reporting that Britney’s current assistant Brett Miller is about to be fired and that Britney’s old, beloved assistant Felicia Culotta has been rehired to replace her! This info is just too good to be believed — but after the jump, read all about it …

Extra! TV is reporting that the Wrigley’s company has decided to suspend their newest Doublemint Gum commercial featuring Chris Brown while allegations of his felonious assault with a deadly weapon are being sorted out. The company insists that they believe that Brown should treated innocent until proven guilty, despite the fact that they have decided to pull his ads off the air while this scandal unfolds:

Due to Sunday’s felony charges against R&B artist Chris Brown, Wrigley’s has told “Extra” that they plan to “suspend” the gum commercials featuring the singer. Chew on that. Wrigley released the following statement to “Extra” regarding Brown: “Wrigley is concerned by the serious allegations made against Chris Brown. We believe Mr. Brown should be afforded the same due process as any citizen. However, we have made the decision to suspend the current advertising featuring Brown and any related marketing communications until the matter is resolved.” Chris originally penned his smash hit “Forever” for a Wrigley’s Doublemint commercial. The song, later lengthened by Brown, went on to top the Billboard charts.

Honestly, I don’t blame them at all for taking this action. Even tho nothing has been proven AT ALL, the fact that Chris Brown has been arrested is enough for a campaign like this to get pulled.

In other related news, Radar is reporting that an eyewitness inside Cedars Sinai Medical Center identified and could hear Rihanna “screaming” in pain after the alleged assault early Sunday morning:

A source inside Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles has confirmed exclusively to RadarOnline.com that pop star Rihanna was in fact treated there for injuries, allegedly inflicted by her boyfriend R&B singer Chris Brown. Since Brown’s bombshell arrest on Sunday, there has been widespread speculation that the victim was 20-year old Rihanna. Now, RadarOnline.com can confirm it’s true from an eyewitness who saw her inside the hospital. The eyewitness tells RadarOnline.com:

Brown was booked Sunday night on a charge of making criminal threats and was later released on $50,000 bail. Police say he remains under investigation for felony charges of domestic assault. He is scheduled to appear in court on March 5th. A publicist for Rihanna would only issue this statement: “Rihanna is well. Thank you for concern and support.”

I’m am just repeatedly shocked every time new information comes out. Just as I feared, this story keeps getting worse and worse. I don’t know when or if we’ll get any solid, concrete info anytime soon … which means the rumor mill will continue to churn. I’ve been hearing some really ugly things that I am not interested in passing along. I’m only willing to pass along information that seems credible and offers citations of eyewitness accounts or facts. This news is just so sad … I hope Rihanna, wherever she is, is doing OK and I hope that the punishment will fit the crime should these charges against Chris Brown turn out to be proven. Sad, sad day.

Ye gods, there is a lot of stuff to talk about today … it’s all piling up and I can’t even get to it all. Of course the ChRihanna story is just bananas … there is even more new information about last night’s incident and the rammifications that have sprung up as a result — as well as other great goss stories that I’m gonna try to get to. But first, lemme post a few things about David’s and my Grammy Awards experience last night. Since we were lucky enough to attend last night’s show, we got to see the whole shebang live and in person. We had a blast … even tho the show was kinda long … it really felt like being at a concert. Here are a few of the pics that I snapped of Whitney Houston when she came out on stage:

But for most of the show, I didn’t take very many photos. I was too bizzy Twittering and gathering info on Chris Brown. The official afterparty, tho, that was a whole lotta fun … mainly cuz the food was so good. They had these huge tables set up with HEAPS of shrimp, crab, oysters … I won’t even tell you how many times I went back for more ;) We were treated to a live performance by Robin Thicke and the food and drink was everywhere. Here are a few pics from the afterparty:

The party itself was Hippie-themed … and not very well. The dancers were not very impressive, in fact, I found them very unsettling. It was all I could do to keep shoveling shrimp into my face to be distracted.

Again, we had a blast … much love goes out to my friend Zlata at ABSOLUT Vodka, again, for the kind hook-up. So much fun!
