The character of Apu looks set for the chop from The Simpsons amid claims that he is a racial stereotype. He is one of the show’s longest running characters – he has been going since 1990. A new US documentary called The Problem With Apu is set to be released soon, and they will present all the racial stereotypes attached to Apu that they want changed. Isn’t The Simpsons full of stereotypes?

Cleetus Spukler – redneck from Hicksville

Groundskeeper Willy – mad drinking Scotsman

Chief Wiggum – donut eating stupid policeman

The entire Australia episode?!

However, the documentary makers argue that the entire stereotype is based on the fact that he's Indian and that's what they will focus on.

 

Colin Farrell has finally found what he was looking for... he is dating one of U2’s management staff! He told Ellen during the week that he has been with someone "he adores" for 2 years but she's not in the industry and she's very private.

The Irish Mirror today reveals that he has actually been dating Kelly McNamara “on and off” for the last two years.

It is understood Kelly is a PA for U2 guitarist The Edge. Now let's leave them alone!

 

Drake has jumped to the defence of one of his female fans after seeing them being groped in the audience.

The incident happened at an after-party in a club in Sydney overnight.
He stopped mid-way through his performance, and told the man that if he didn't "stop putting his hands on girls", he'd go down and sort him out.
