Adam Carolla doesn’t want to hear that you’re offended by Katy Perry’s “blackface” shoes, and he also doesn’t want to hear the pop star apologize to those who took offense.
As a matter of fact, the reigning king of podcasting would like all of those people calling the black version of her Rue and Ora shoes with a cartoonish face adorned to them “problematic” to “kill” themselves.
The shoes in question, released last summer in nine different colors, were pulled from Perry’s online collection and multiple retail stores after creating a bit of a stir on social media. Below is a tweet we selected for this story as it depicts both the black and beige versions of one style.

I've never experienced 80's teen idol, Molly Ringwald, as unguarded as she was on The Parent Experiment with Lynette Carolla & Teresa Strasser. Molly was on plugging her book, Getting The Pretty Back: Friendship, Family and Finding the Perfect Lipstick, and offered up an uplifting story where she recalls how her old friend, Jennifer, helped her through one of the saddest moments of her life. I had a late term miscarriage, and um I didn't know how to handle it. And all the doctors that I went to couldn't find a reason for it. And then I found myself dialing her (Jennifer's) parent's number. Within five minutes I was on the phone with her and (starts crying) it was like the friendship never ended. There was no...God I get teared up just talking about it. Sad and brutally honest, Molly...

Radio-and-tv personality Adam Carolla stumbled into podcasting and immediately became its No. 1 star. Now he's launching his own broadcasting network. Inside the messy birth of a new medium.
Adam Carolla has done the math. The comedian, actor, and multimedia ranter is studying what appears to be a trap door in the ceiling of the garage he personally helped build for his West Hollywood home. He's scowling.
Somewhere above the opening is his office, a glass box he added to the 1929 Spanish-style mansion he assiduously restored from near-wreck conditions. The office, a modernistic anomaly when compared with the rest of the house, was designed to do one thing: showcase one of Carolla's many expensive vintage cars,...

The TV Guide Channel is signaling change in direction under its new ownership with the downgrading of three existing series and the layoffs of 38 staffers.
The weekly talk show "TV Watercooler" is going off the air starting June 22.
Daily entertainment newsmagazine "Hollywood 411" will become a weekly show starting June 26. And the weekly TV-centric series "Infanity" will continue as specials starting June 26.
All of the 38 layoffs are in in-house production, most of them tied to the three scaled-back programs.
They include two on-air talent, John Fugelsang and Teresa Strasser of "TV Watercooler," 15 full-time staffers, 15 full-time temps and six open unfilled position. No executives are affected.
The move comes four months after Lionsgate acquired the TV Guide Channel from Macrovision for $255 million. Two weeks ago, Lionsgate sold a 49% stake in the channel to JPMorgan Chase's One Equity Partners for $123 million.
"This is a shift in programming resources and priorities," a Lionsgate rep said.
