The New York City gym teacher who punched Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi on Jersey Shore has apologized for his actions, the New York Post reports.

Brad Ferro, 24, says he doesn't remember much of the night at the Beachcomber Bar & Grill in Seaside Heights, N.J., where, earlier in the night, bouncers told him to cut back on drinking. "It's all fuzzy. I remember a punch — I don't remember who or why and I remember being arrested."

"When I saw the video, I was sick to my stomach," Ferro told the Post. "I couldn't believe that I'd ever do anything like that. I was raised to act in a respectful manner to women."

Ferro hopes that Snooki, 21, will be able to forgive him. "I'm very sorry for what happened," he told her. "I deeply regret what happened. Nobody deserves that. That was not the real Brad Ferro."

After the attack, Ferro was arrested and subsequently removed from his class and placed into one of the Department of Education's teacher reassignment centers.

His lawyer, Andrew Siben, hopes Ferro will get a second chance to prove himself. "I think he's a decent young man who, unfortunately, made a bad decision which has come back to haunt him," said Siben.

When a major show announces they are making the switch to HD, I find myself thinking, "Finally!" If you have an HD TV you know how annoying it can be watching shows that aren't produced in hi-def. The latest to get in on the treatment are Comedy Central's The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.

They'll begin broadcasting in HD on January 4, 2010. The fact that Tosh.0, on the same network, has broadcast an entire season (granted it's first) in HD already, this is a bit of a travesty. Daily and Colbert are two of Comedy Central's three signature shows. South Park is the third, but even they've been HD for a while now.

I had the same reaction earlier this year when The Late Late Show made their own transition to HD. It doesn't make sense for one of a network's major shows to be so far behind the times. Is it that expensive with these "talk show" types of formats to transition them to high definition after producing them in regular definition? Were Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert worried that they wouldn't look as pretty if we could see all the lines on their faces (remember Liz Lemon in hi-def on 30 Rock!)?

The Daily Show and The Colbert Report air in a block on Comedy Central weeknights starting at 11 PM ET.

For another two weeks, David Tennant is still the space-time-traveling Doctor in " Doctor Who," the British sci-fi series that airs here on BBC America. After a year in which the show appeared only sporadically, as a series of "specials," the end of the Tennant tenancy arrives all in a rush: "The Waters of Mars," his penultimate adventure, premieres tonight, with the two-part finale, "The End of Time," beginning Dec. 26. By the end of Part 2, which airs Jan. 2 -- and this is not a spoiler -- he will have died and regenerated into the form of his replacement, Matt Smith.

And yet in some strange quantum mechanical way, he is also already not the Doctor, having filmed his last scenes some months back. And even as he is and is not the Doctor, he is (possibly) becoming someone else, the eponymous star of an NBC pilot called "Rex Is Not Your Lawyer," in which he plays an attorney who coaches clients to represent themselves after he begins suffering panic attacks.

We spoke by telephone on a recent rainy day in Los Angeles. ("I can understand it's a novelty here," he said, "but I watched the news last night and it sounded like the world was coming to an end.") Of "Rex," which also features Jane Curtin and Jeffrey Tambor, he would only say, because "I don't know how much I'm allowed to say," that "it's a great part. It's a very dramatic role, it's quite funny -- you get to do a bit of everything and that always appeals."

Jude Law forgot how to count on Thursday when asked by David Letterman how many kids he has.

There to promote the awesome-looking ‘Sherlock Holmes,’ Law and the ‘Late Show’ host were going through the whatcha-doin-for-Christmas motions when he said “I usually try to take the children on a bit of an adventure.” Letterman followed up with “how many kids?” and Law gave a flat-out “three.”

While Law indeed has a trio of kiddies with ex-wife Sadie Frost, he forgot to mention the daughter he conceived with former girlfriend Samantha Burke. Expect extra presents under the tree, Sophia!

contest clarification:  for question 12 - "Give the full name of the label that published The Academy EP"  I was too vague.  I want to know what the initials in the label name stand for.  for example, if the answer were "ABC records by Awesome Music Dude" what does the "ABC" part stand for?   thanks  :) 

On the heels of its Golden Globe nominations and a host of regional critics awards as the year's best movie (or certainly one of the year's best), The Hurt Locker will expand this weekend, although they're calling it a re-release. It's still playing in some major markets without much of a marketing push, but beginning this Friday, you can find it in a host of cities around the country.

You'd need to see it in theaters between now and January 12th, anyway, because for reasons I can't figure, the film isn't on DVD yet, over five months after it was released. That seems like a shame, given the run on DVDs made at the end of the year and the aforementioned heaps of praise being given to the film this month.

So beginning Friday, the film will be back in more theaters, and I highly recommend you check it out if you missed it this summer. Here's a partial list of locations; I apologize that I don't have the specific theaters for you, but this should be a good start:

We've mentioned this before, but I think it bears repeating because with each passing day, it seems like a bigger possibility: Kathryn Bigelow might win Best Director at the Academy Awards, and that would be the first time a female director has picked up the top technical honor in moviedom. She'll be nominated, it's safe to say, and even that is something she shares with only a handful of other women.

Would-be reality TV stars can crash the White House.

But real stars -- the old-fashioned kind?
Forget about it.
G2 has learned that entertainment legend Mickey Rooney, who has met every previous president since FDR, tried to crash the White House by showing up without an appointment while he was in town early last month.

"It was very spur of the moment," explained Mr. Rooney's personal manager, Kevin Pawley. "The guards recognized him but would not let him in. He was OK with it."
It seems the 89-year-old Mr. Rooney, named the No. 1 box-office draw in movies three years in a row (1939-41), was in Washington as an honoree of a war veterans group Nov. 8-9 and wanted to stop by to shake the hand of President Obama and talk about veterans affairs, Mr. Rooney's passion.
"No successful gate-crashing even for him," Mr. Pawley says with a laugh.

Mickey Rooney will be appearing as Baron Hardup in Cinderella at Milton Keynes Theatre in England until January 17. He will also be in three films to be released in 2010

Mickey Rooney Trivia
With movie appearances stretching from 1926 to 2007, totaling 81 years, his is the longest career in cinema history, surpassing that of Lillian Gish.
In 1938, he was severely reprimanded by MGM studio head Louis B. Mayer for having a torrid affair with Norma Shearer. Mickey was 18 at the time. Shearer was 38

He was awarded 3 Stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Radio, Movies and TV.

During World War II he served 22 months in the U.S. Army, five of them with the Third Army of Gen. George S. Patton. Rooney attained the rank of Sergeant, and won a Bronze Star, among other decorations
Honorary Oscar for Lifetime Achievement in 1983

British Lions rugby legend Gareth Thomas Come Out

Gareth Thomas is a sporting legend. He captained Wales in 2005 to their first Grand Slam victory since 1978. The same year he captained the British Lions tour of New Zealand.

With 100 caps to his name - more than any other player in Welsh history - he has one of the fiercest reputations on the field, and a row of missing front teeth to prove it.

At 6ft 3in and 16st of pure muscle, his masculinity has always been an absolute given.



As a young man he bonded with rugby mates in the pub over tales of sexual conquests, and flirted with pretty girls eager to bag a sporting hero.

After his marriage in 2002 to teenage sweetheart Jemma - the woman he called his 'rock' - he spoke movingly of their desire to become parents and the heartbreak of her suffering three miscarriages.

And if anyone dared to suggest he was anything other than 100 per cent straight, Gareth 'Alfie' Thomas was prepared to make them see the error of their ways. With his fists, if necessary.

But, as he admits in the Daily Mail today, it was all a pretence, a fragile artifice - and one which came crashing down around his ears on November 4, 2006, following a Wales game in Cardiff.

Breaking down in tears in the changing rooms of the Millennium Stadium, Gareth finally realised he could not go on living a lie. Keeping his true sexuality a secret was destroying him.



That secret, which he'd kept hidden his entire career, was - he admits now - 'like a tight knot in my stomach, always threatening to seep out'.

He says: 'I was like a ticking bomb. I thought I could suppress it, keep it locked away in some dark corner of myself, but I couldn't.

'It was who I was, and I just couldn't ignore it any more.

'I'd been through every emotion under the sun trying to deal with this.

'You wake up one morning thinking: "I can handle it. Everything is fine," and the next morning you don't want anyone to see your face, because you think that if people look at you, they will know.'

That summer, he had confessed the truth to his devastated wife Jemma, unable to cope with the guilt of deceiving her.

But even as their marriage crumbled, he'd somehow hoped to maintain his charade for the rest of the world.

'My life seemed to be falling apart. Jemma and I were splitting up, and I was scared of the future and being single again as a gay man,' says Gareth, 35.

'A coach named Scott Johnson, a great man, came up to me in the dressing room after the game for a chat and I just broke down in tears.

'He said: "What's up?" 'I said: "Me and Jemma have split," and he said: "Oh no, what's happened?" Then he said: "I know what's happened, I know what it is."'

Somehow, the coach had guessed.
