Audrey O’Day Clears Up Hitler/Castro Comments

Audrey O'Day

Apparently people get a little upset when you call Fidel Castro and Adolf Hitler “brilliant”.  Who knew?

Former Danity Kane singer Audrey O’Day appeared on Sean Hannity’s show this weekend and did just that.  In her words: “I’m not defending [Castro's] behavior in many instances, but I do have to say that I will 100 percent agree he’s an incredibly brilliant man.”

How could she make it worse?  Oh, saying the same thing about Hitler might do it.  “Listen, I don’t condone Hitler one ounce, but yes, he was a brilliant man. Can you guys say that he wasn’t? He ran a country and convinced everyone of horrible things.” Smooth movie, O’Day.

Luckily O’Day publicists were quick and had her release this statement to MTV News:

Murderers and dictators generally are some of the smartest people out there — they just use their brain power for evil purposes,” O’Day said. ”I don’t condone any of their evil behavior, but I was asked about their intellectual firepower … and in my opinion you can’t have a low IQ and wreak that much havoc on the world. What Hitler succeeded in doing was deplorable. And I hope we never see such an abusive use of power again.

Roseanne Barr Poses as Hitler for Jewish Magazine “Heeb” Causes Uproar

Roseanne Barr

Roseanne Barr was photographed (at her request) as Adolf Hitler in a new photo spread for the Jewish humor magazine, “Heeb”.

“Domestic Goddess” Roseanne posed as “Domestic Goddess Hitler” for the photos, wearing Hitler’s mustache and a swastika, while holding and preparing to take a bite out of “burnt Jew Cookies.”

The first time the 55-year-old comedian has been seen since a “self-imposed” exile, Rosanne, who is Jewish, “nails the Fuhrer’s facial expressions with twisted glee.”

Roseanne and Heeb have taken heat for the pics, which have caused quite a storm of controversy.

Heeb publisher, Josh Neuman has responded to the fuss over Roseanne’s Hitler photos:

Many have been up and arms over our recent photo of Roseanne Barr as a “Nazi domestic goddess” in our Germany Issue, questioning how, as Jews, we could ever find any humor in such a subject. When I hear such sorrowful pleas, I want to cry from remorse, but I’m afraid the ensuing suds would cake the lenses of my glasses.
