Well, it’s happened again.

The media is on fire today about the new Brad Paisley song “Accidental Racist,” on which he teams up with LL Cool J to deliver a well-meaning but possibly not fully thought-out message about race relations in the South. See, in the song, Brad is sorry about wearing his Confederate flag T-shirt to a Starbucks where he’s waited on by a black barista (LL Cool J, moonlighting?)... but not sorry enough to, you know, not wear that T-shirt. (He’s a Skynyrd fan, you see.)

Is “Accidental Racist” accidentally racist? Maybe! But mostly, it’s just accidentally stupid. Check out what Brad had to say to Ellen DeGeneres about the song after the jump, then check out a number of other pieces of entertainment that have been accidentally (or perhaps not-so-accidentally) racist!

It’s official: Randy Jackson is out of the judges chair for next season!

Sources close to American Idol said that while he won’t be returning to the panel, he will still appear on camera in a "mentoring" role. And while big-wig execs for the show believe he will likely not be as good of a mentor as he is a judge, they feel it’s crucial to keep him around because he’s the glue that keeps everything together. Not only that, but TMZ revealed that the upcoming season might have four judges on the panel!

So who is looking most likely to fill those empty chairs for next season? Find out after the jump!
