Earlier this week on Lopez Tonight, George Lopez mocked Kirstie Alley’s performance on Dancing With the Stars, saying, “She did a nice job, her little hooves tapping away. Before the show, she went to the market, and then she had roast beef and this is her going all the way home!” Then he cut to the squealing pig in the GEICO commercial. Alley brushed off the insult, tweeting: “Don’t worry about George’s comments…just remember what happens to the big bad, drunk wolf… falls in a boiling pot of vodka. Piggy laughs.” Now Lopez has apologized via Twitter, saying, “I misjudged the joke. No malice was intended and I apologize to Kirstie.” How about you beg for forgiveness on your TV show?

- “We’re separated, we’re working on ourselves and our relationship, and sort of figuring out what we want. You know, life’s complicated and people go through changes. And I’ve been reading a lot of things about myself, reading books that talk about feelings and changes, and she’s been working on herself a lot too. The great thing is that we really love each other and that we’re really amazing parents together, very supportive — I’m her biggest fan and she’s my biggest fan. You know, that’s what it’s all about really.” — David Arquette on his relationship with Courteney Cox. [ET]
