Ranting Southwest Pilot Apologizes. Mmhmm.

Remember that Southwest Airlines pilot who unknowingly broadcast a rant on only having "gays, grannies and grandes" for flight attendants?

Yeah, that guy?

James Fritzen Taylor is his name in case you forgot, and Mr. Taylor had a lot of time to think about his hurtful words during his suspension. In an apology released to all Southwest employees on Tuesday, the pilot had this to say:

I deeply regret the derogatory remarks I made and the hurt I have caused. I take full responsibility for those comments. It was truly insensitive of me and I would like all of you to know that from now on, I will show nothing but my utmost respect during my interactions with all employees. This has forever changed me, and I hope that others can learned from my mistakes. I have learned a much-needed lesson to be more sensitive of others and I hope you will see me as a more tolerant and considerate person.

It actually sounds pretty sincere. We just the apology came from the heart and not a PR agent's desk.

What do U think?

Josie Gibson: I have binged on food and booze all my life

The BB star says it's a mistake to drink when you're down

Josie Gibson split from John James Parton in March

Bristol babe Josie Gibson had the serious munchies when she split from John James Parton.

The Aussie hunk went back to Australia after a serious of rows with the Big Brother 11 winner, who found solace by filling her stomach.

'When John walked out I was left in a flat on my own, my only friend was my fridge!' says Josie, 26.

'I have binged on food and booze all my life. Cake and wine is a good painkiller.

'When I hit rock bottom I do turn to booze, although it only masks the pain and you end up feeling worse.'

Josie is now off alcohol and has a personal trainer to help her get back in shape.

'One glass of wine takes 40 minutes on the treadmill to burn off, you know,' she explains.

'I'm not interested in dieting but I am working on toning up my body.'

Gwyneth Paltrow Talks About Managing Her Stress

Between shooting movies, doing guest-spots on 'Glee' and writing a cookbook, it's no surprise the multi-tasking Gwyneth Paltrow gets a little stressed sometimes. In her latest GOOP newsletter, the Academy Award-winning actress reveals how she manages stress.

"I have never been very good at handling stress (though a bit of meditation helps), and I wanted some very practical ways of reducing it that I could use during the course of my day," Paltrow wrote.

The 38-year-old actress continued: "I got some good answers that don't require a 90 minute yoga class, or flying to a hippie style silent retreat (I've actually done one-don't ask), just simple things that we all have access to. Here they are!" Paltrow then shared advice from Dr. Oz Garcia, Oliver Bros and Monica Berg.

Paltrow's been a busy lady lately--she's popped up twice on the 'Glee' tour, was named the new face of Coach and just released a new cookbook.

James Franco Collaborates With Electronic Musicians Kalup Linzy And DJ /rupture For 'Rising'

The chorus of James Franco's new musical collaboration (!) must resonate for the 33-year-old actor, whose media domination comes immediately to mind with the repeated line, "I'll keep on rising."

The song, "Rising," created in collaboration with performance artist and R&B crooner Kalup Linzy and veteran DJ/producer DJ /rupture, is the first in a series for the new duo, Kalup & Franco. The extent of Franco's contributions to the track is still unclear, and the actor appears briefly as a ghostly, floating head in the video, which is dominated by Linzy's suggestive green-screen mugging.

And it all feels somehow appropriate. The actor has spent the last couple of years floating around through the news like a disembodied head, becoming a PhD candidate, General Hospital star, performance artist and Oscars host.

Hovering over each new career move is our collective memory of the old James Franco, the actor most of us would never have pegged as such a versatile performer five years ago, and the shock that each new eccentricity seems to bring him a new triumph. Will his burgeoning music career take off? Probably not. But does that mean it's not still a triumph? Of course not.
