With those voicemails of Mel Gibson floating around, Vibe have put together a list of the 5 biggest n-bombs in recent years.
5.Paris Hilton
In a You Tube video (no longer found on the site) Paris and sister Nicky were seen dancing to the Notorious B.I.G. single, “Hypnotize,” Paris then commented that the two of them were, “like two n***ers.”
4.Charlie Sheen
Like Gibson, Sheen’s N-word outburst came via voicemail message but the betrothed recipient in this case was his ex-wife, Denise Richards as they were approaching splitsville. Sheen’s message for his former wifey? “I hope I never f**king talk to you again you f**king c**t. You’re a coward and a liar and a f**king n**ger alright, so f**k you.”
3.John Mayer
In a Playboy interview, America’s favorite cool white boy rocker declared that he had a “hood pass” because the black community loved him so much. Then Mayer clarified that a hood pass could equally be called a “n***er pass.”
2.Michael Richards
The daddy of N-word bombs hurled and seen around the world. Captured on video via cellphone in 2007, Richards imploded and exploded on a black man and his interracial group of friends at L.A.’s Laugh Factory. As the group was being seated during his act, Seinfeld’s beloved Kramer screamed, “Fifty years ago, we’d have you upside down with a f**king fork up your ass. You can talk, you can talk, you’re brave now motherf**ker. Throw his ass out he’s a ni***r! He’s a ni***r, look, there’s a ni***r!”
1. Jesse Jackson
And finally, (drum roll) the Grandaddy of the N-word bomb comes courtesy of the man who walked alongside Dr. Martin Luther King in the 1960s and called rappers to task for using the N-word in their music over the past 20 years. (A little backstory: Jesse had beef with how our current President, then candidate Barack Obama was relating to Blacks during the 2008 presidential election. In off-air remarks caught on a live microphone during an appearance on the FOX network, Jackson said about Obama, “I want to cut his nuts off.”) Then, Jackson who counseled Richards after his N-word short-circuiting and later called for a ban on word altogether, referred to all African Americans as the slur when he added, “Obama is trying to tell n****rs how to behave.”

YouTube sensations will get an opportunity to walk down a virtual red carpet.
The video-sharing Web site announced Monday that it will hold the first YouTube Video Awards to recognize the best-user created videos of 2006. The awards will be handed out in seven categories: most creative, most inspirational, best series, best comedy, musician of the year, best commentary and “most adorable video ever.”
Babysitter of the Year – Janice
The nominees, picked by YouTube, are compiled in a gallery at www.youtube.com/YTAwards. YouTube community members can vote on their favorites beginning Monday and concluding on Friday. The winners, as chosen by the community, will be announced March 25. Each will be prominently featured on YouTube and receive a trophy, the design of which will be revealed later.
Success on the site has previously been defined largely by rankings of the most-viewed or most-discussed videos.
“We wanted to call out some of the most popular videos and let the users choose which ones deserve some additional recognition,” said Jamie Byrne, head of product marketing at YouTube.
The vast and varied world of online video has gradually formed styles all its own, which figured into the formation of the categories.
“We looked at the genres of content that were the most popular last year,” Byrne said. “We’ve seen and continue to see exciting new developments in the online video space where genres are being created.”
Among the nominees are noted “vloggers” Paul Robinett (“Renetto”) and Peter Oakley (“Geriatric1927″). The comedy of Barats and Bereta, and Smosh, is also nominated, as are series such as Lonelygirl15′s and “Ask a Ninja.” The power pop band OK Go is perhaps the most professional of the nominees; it’s nominated for the famous treadmill-choreographed music video, “Here It Goes Again.”
Whether the YouTube Video Awards becomes a permanent, annual affair is likely, Byrne said, but it will depend on how the first awards are received.
“We want to see how the community responds to it, but we can see this being something that grows as we continue to grow and becomes a bigger and more exciting event in the future,” Byrne said. An in-person ceremony is possible in the future.
Google-owned, San Bruno, Calif.-based YouTube Inc. was founded in February 2005. Last week, media conglomerate Viacom Inc . sued YouTube for $1 billion, claiming the site infringes on copyrights on a “huge scale.” Several other media companies have reached agreements to supply YouTube with clips.
According to comScore Media Metrix, YouTube attracted 133.5 million visitors worldwide in January.
