There was absolutely nothing good about the announcement that certified awful person George Zimmerman (no celebrity bold for you!) would appear on an episode of Celebrity Boxing to square off against rapper DMX (on what would have been Trayvon Martin’s 19th birthday, no less). This news was actually so not good that for a second I was certain it was an Onion headline. (It wasn’t.) From the fight itself, to the date, to DMX’s promise to beat the shit out of and then urinate all over Zimmerman’s face, it was bad news all around. Now, it appears that the fight will likely not be happening.
“The boxing match between George Zimmerman and DMX is not officially confirmed. DMX has promised to ‘beat his ass,’ but no contract or paperwork has been signed or agreed to yet,” the rapper’s spokesman Domenick Nati wrote in an email Thursday.
“DMX will release an official statement if and when an agreement is made,” the statement continued.When flat out asked if the fight will happen, Nati replied, “I doubt it.”
Regardless of whether the fight actually happens, it is already worse than the time Michael Lohan fought Jeremy Loper. Speaking of Lohan, he has also allegedly volunteered to fight Zimmerman. Obviously for justice and not publicity. [LA Times]
Charlie Sheen and Ashton Kutcher may be in a feud (who is not feuding these days? how soon before this pair appears on Celebrity boxing: Winning?) after Kutcher invited Sheen to “shut the BLEEP up” and stop blowing up his Twitter during Kutcher’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. (I had no idea what this was in reference to, but it appears to have something to do with that show where Kutcher and Duckie raise Andie Walsh’s child.) (#Prettyinpink)
Sheen responded with an actually reasonable message that looks like it came directly from Cher’s twitter:
Ashton message received. so sorry u sounded like me! well done! my bad I was pissed at other crap & took it out on you. hope u r good xox c
Of course then Sheen realized who he was and filed an addendum to his previous missive:
but news flash Dood, you ever tell me to shut the F*** up, EVER again, and I’ll put you on a hospital food diet for a year. c #YaFeelMe Jr?
The best part is that Sheen censored his expletive. Because, you know, there may be children reading. [The Superficial]
