Glee Guru Ryan Murphy Apologizes for Kings of Leon Tirade

It looks like Ryan Murphy is altering his tune.

In the wake up of all the harmful mind the show's maker got after he lashed out at Kings of Leon for the band's decision not to have their song "Use Somebody" performed on his hit series Glee, Murphy is now apologized for the comments he made.

"I didn't speak with as much clarity as I would have liked. Who am I to say 'F--k you?' That's not what I meant." he tells the Hollywood Reporter. "I completely understand when artists don't want a show or another artist to interpret their songs. In fact, I respect it. It's their personal work and I'd feel the same way. We get turned down all the time and I don't fight it or even go back after a rejection."

In fact, Murphy recalls how Björk recently rejected him, but insists he holds no ill feelings towards her.

"She read the scene and didn't think it was the right fit for her song," he says. "I told her, 'That's completely cool,' and she said to come back to her down the road. We deal with that every day."

And it seems he's still dealing with the fallout from his KOL tirade. At the recent SXSW Festival, Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters took a moment to label Murphy "a f--king jerk" for "thinking anybody and everybody should want to do Glee."

"I've never felt that if you don't give Glee your music, there's rather diabolical about you," says Murphy when the subject of Grohl's comments came up. "To the contrary: I support artists and what they choose to do...I think Kings of Leon are cool as s--t. The Foo Fighters are brilliant. We'd love to do one their songs, if they were yet involved."

Yeah, good luck with that.

Appalling Bikini Pic of the Day! Kathy Griffin Keeps Her Top On!

First of all, thanks where it's due: at 50 years old, Kathy Griffin is looking good. And seems to have originate herself a nice new piece of arm candy (Isaiah who?). Now, about that moon-tan.

As getting some much-needed color at a Florida beach yesterday, the funny lady was pale and proud, and while we're all for keeping it natural—well, when your skin is the same color as the sand, it kind of renders the idea of a camouflage bikini a moot point.

At rest, we'll take the camo print any day, if it's a pick between that and her hot, unlucky foray into topless bikini shots. We have a feeling Kathy may feel the same, as the usually media-hungry comedian was quick to deny that she called the paparazzi on herself (which she's ordinarily quick to cop to). "W/o make up on? NOPE! Hott guy tho:)" she tweeted yesterday. Hot with two "T"s? This must be serious.
