s just bewildering actions, recently, involving eminem.for those of you who aren't familiar with it, it was two years ago that-- in 2000, actually-- in 2000 that the f.c.c. fined a radio station $7,000 for playing the uncensored version of eminem's the real slim shady. then after the bush administration took office, and michael powell became chair of the f.c.c., there came a new fine for a censored version, a cleaned-up version, a bleeped version of the real slim shady. then after people like you spoke out and said this is insane, they decided they weren't going to fine the radio station after all. what's going on there? well, i don't want to guess what they're thinking. i can only say that they didn't have any good legal right to stand on their ideals, and so they had to drop 'em, from what i can tell. that, i can assume, and i think that they were a little bit aggressive, and they--and they decided against their choice, and i think that it was going to be obvious that it was cultural, and since it's going to be cultural, and we're going

and eminem has a new song and you won't believe who he is bashing. he's going after big stars.dy newton is telling in style in the uk that she had a six-year affair with director john dugan which she began when she was just 16 years old. this happened when she traveled to australia to audition for his film called "flirting" which she ended up getting a part in. he was 23 years her senior when it happened. she told in style in the wake of all this, quote, i can value myself more for the way i got through it. i don't see myself as a victim. i think she's coming forward now about this to say that this is something that happens in hollywood and this is something she regrets. she did therapy to deal with what happened. she said she was taken advantage of quite plain and simple. >> she was only 16. >> she was 16. he was 23 years older. and i think this also kind of ties back a little bit to what reese witherspoon was saying just the other night. you don't have to go to these outrageous lengths, you don't have to put out a sex tape, obviously thandie newton is saying you don't have to

i think that was the one of the most examined albums all the way up to eminem. and the fact is, they couldn't find anything inside it but deep, detailed discussion on things i think young people could look out for when they get older or even older people could look towards themselves or look towards their peers to inform them while still having a good time and jumping up and down and going to the concerts and doing their thing. i learned from james brown, "say it loud; i'm black, and i'm proud." i'm eight years old. had a profound effect on me. because the year before, let's say the newlywed game would be on and me and my brothers and sisters-- me and my brother and my sister would be all, "ooh, ooh, ooh, they got a colored couple on! let's vote for the coloreds!" we was "colored" a year before! and three years before that, we was "negroes." and so i'm like, "okay, say it loud; i'm black and i'm proud. "signify! "we're black, end of discussion. it's a good thing to roll with." so that was a song. same thing as sly and the family stone. they would sing songs that

issue called masculinity which would be comparable to feminism because masculinity is as much and idf eminemndy 500. >> you should have an issue of masculinity and only half female writers. [laughter] [laughter] islamic to do think about growing ke russell -- >> it's up to america. i get a young female writers quite frequently. i suppose there's a young male writers. they're really are, right? you wouldn't hear that as often. young writers. i feel very fortunate, i feel like the beneficiary of the movement that came for me and i really do like the actual areas of a great one who is benefiting from the woman who came before me and i felt generally supported. [inaudible] [laughter] >> i don't know that it's ever stopped me and the way i feel, just sort of in a book tours it is an adjective, less frequently i think the way that in fact most directly is sort of getting a gendered adjectives i don't know. i don't know a story about a 13-year-old would be received. i just think the libyan interesting experiment. certain adjectives to come up. we were talking about a quirky, and. but that's the way

dre building on a campaign they started with super bowl with eminem in detroit.of l.a. but delivers the same line, this is l.a., this is what we do. >>> thomas roberts, we both lived there so we know. >> we did and that's a cool looking car. >> i think they're good ads. >> dr. dre makes anything look good. >>> good morning, everybody. it is the day after, talking about for congressman weiner. he lays bare online indiscretions and social media missteps to a horde of media. can he survive and what will an investigation unveil. >>> europe's e. coli outbreak. are they any closer to finding a cause and the big question has this reached american soil? >>> the odor of death in casey anthony's car continues to be damning evidence in her car. week three of testimony. will casey anthony take the stand? we'll get new the loop after this. in phillips' colon health defended against the bad gas, diarrhea and constipation. ...and? it helped balance her colon. oh, now that's the best part. i love your work.

. >> what makes this strange is her song with eminem where that seemed to glamourize domestic violence that video as well. could this video be in response to that criticism? >> it's possible. at the end of the day, it is art. it is provocative. the two go hand in hand. a lot of people are actually saying the lyrics here are being clouded by the actual violent content of the video. this debate is going to rage on. this thing was just released this week. >> it's going to be a huge best seller. not to be outdone, i hear lady gaga's new album is also making headlines. >> the sales for this album are phenomenal. "born this way" sold 200,000 copies on its first day alone. 1.1 million copies in the u.s. those numbers do not include the number of copies sold outside the country. got this album. copies on the billboard sales chart. it outsold the projections. gaga did a good job of getting everybody excited. we had to ask her about the album sales. she said she didn't want the figures yet because the numbers weren't fully out. they hadn't been completely tabulated. now with these kinds of resul
