• Just put the hate back on Flav. Put it back on, now. [C&D]
• Will Mariah Carey show up for the unveiling of this stamp, too? []
• Maybe one day Shar Jackson will have her own thing, but, for now, she’s totally fine riding on the Britney Spears train. [Bossip]
Two things:
1) On the Friday before Labor Day, a questionable Halloween costume on an aging talk show host is what we call “news.”
2) Connie Chung saw this episode and remembered all of the things she loves about Maury Povich.

The only people who will ever really know what happened at Flavor Flav’s Comedy Central roast this weekend are the ones who were in attendance, because the comedy network can’t air a lot of it during the August 12 broadcast.
For example, they won’t hear the N-word which was used 11 times by presenters including Snoop Dogg, Ice-T and comedian Katt Williams, The Post’s Mandy Stadtmiller reports. The rowdy roast in Los Angeles over the weekend also saw the word “bitch” used 16 times; “pimp,” 14 times; “ho,” 12 times; “whore,” seven times, “crack,” five times, and “hookers,” three times.
I didn’t know pimp, crack, and hooker were off limits, but in these post-wardrobe malfunction days I’m not surprised at censorship. I am surprised that Snoop, Ice-T, and Katt Williams only said the n-word 11 times. The NAACP would be proud of their restraint! If, of course, they hadn’t been attending the roast of a guy who’s TV show does the opposite of advancing colored people.

Flavor Flav’s Comedy Central Roast took place this weekend. The comedians were probably thrilled to have a subject that made the whole thing so shamefully easy. Most of the Charm School girls and Brigitte Nielsen were in attendance, of course. How sweet! But no New York? Pics after the jump.

Look how happy Amerie is to be posing with her very own leather BET bag! Yesterday, more stars in town for the BET Awards filed into the “Backstage Creations Talent Retreat” to pick up some free electronics and bags embossed with the network logo. The only one not posing with some merchandise is Flavor Flav, but probably got the publicists didn’t think an image of him touching one of their products would make any of us plebes consider going out and buying them. Check out the rest of the pics after the jump.

Stereohyped’s theme of the day is obviously involves former big-money rappers that are now famous for something else (in Hammer’s case, I think we can all agree that the parachute pant is his legacy) speaking out in favor of our nation’s troops. Flavor Flav made his point clear on his way out of Mr. Chow’s in LA last night. And I quote:
“Bush wanna be fly, tell that mother f**ker to send the troops home from Iraq!”
Flav also wasn’t too happy about Ms. Hilton getting more attention than the troops in Iraq, but defended her plight anyway, telling our camera, “Paris is still the mother f**kin’ bomb and she’s gonna blow up sh*t!”
Maybe we should let the troops stay in Iraq, because, if Flavor Flav is to be believed (and why wouldn’t he be!?!), Paris Hilton will be turning the homefront into a war zone momentarily.
Wait, why am I talking about Paris Hilton and Iraq in the same post? Blame Flav.

Comedy Central is planning to roast Flavor Flav in a special that will air this August. In the past, the comedy network has roasted William Shatner, Hugh Hefner and Pamela Anderson. Without a doubt, Flavor Flav’s will be the easiest. He’s already done all the work for them.
