Bravah Jen.

What, no video?

Just so you know, I'm laughing through the tears on this one. You freakin' rule.

It's Hard Out There For A Pee.

He makes me want to bite the Miles right offa' his shirt.

I'm not sure if a man who says he will only date a woman who think he's "the most beautiful man in the world" ought to be walking around in a velour tracksuit. Might make for some slim pickin's.

Way to ask the questions that need to be asked!

What a fucking lunatic.

Yay, Jen. I was about to get all worked up about this again, just for something to do, when I realized that I am going to be spending (for reasons I'm still trying to guess at myself) the next 4 days camped in a muddy field full of wrecked, musically-inclined youths, where porta-loos and therefore wetwipes, will have to be utilized regularly.
I'll report back from the other side, ladies.

Was his Psychiatrist present at the interview?

Miles Davis had no problem with regular toilet paper.

"And, if they don't have a babywipe, they can use this do-rag right off my head."

Brilliant idea. I just laughed at the concept. But the real kicker: "This is a very serious subject." How you even managed a come-back question to that reply is beyond me.

Ok. I recently saw a picture of him with one of his daughters. Yes, he has TWO DAUGHTERS (and a son). All of his children appear to be of an impressionable age (tween/teen-ish). Ugh, I shudder thinking of those poor girls.

On a side note, one of his daughters is named 'Heavenly' so I think y'all were right about the Jesus stuff last time.

"This is a very serious subject."

Right. I'm sure this ranks right up there with finding a cure for cancer, fixing the quagmire that is Iraq and global warming.

There goes one mighty clean asshole: what people will think every time they see Terrence Howard. Thanks, Terrence! You rock!

Ive always hated that guy. Mostly it was his stupid face, but now Ive got a valid reason.
Thanks, Jez!

Oh my god thank you. I'm so proud you asked that question. Now thats real reporting.

The actual serious subject at hand is the pewter velour Phat Farm tracksuit and the olive bandanna do-rag. I'll overlook the Miles tee although he isn't fit to wear it. Total douche.

I'm dying over here...just BRILLIANT!

@nyobserver:

haa haa haa. Srsly.

There's a reason they're called BABY wipes, Terrence. They're for BABIES, not adults, who don't (generally) have liquid poops, and who are able (generally) to wipe their own asses competently.

What an idiot.

I read his interview in Elle and was HORRIFIED.

By the way, I hated Crash.

@SinisterRouge: x 1,000.

This is all terribly funny. But! Holy shit.

@HookerfaceAnon: I dispise 'Crash' with every fiber of my being. Glad to know someone else's hamfisted-Oscar-baity-bullshit detector is working.

Oh, wow. Am I the only one who uses wet wipes? Not regularly, but. I'm the only with hemroids?

Has anyone else heard about this before?

[en.wikipedia.org]

@BiscuitDoughJones: you certainly aren't the only one.

also, i knew there was something up with him when he whined about not having gotten bigger roles in his career because of his race, he compared himself to someone big and actually talented. i'm thinking matt damon. how about you didn't get big roles because your a crappy actor, terrence howard. ugh.

Wow, it's like poop day around here, and it's everything I ever dreamt of. I have to say that when people come out with ludicrous statements like this, I have to assume that they just secretly hate people, and are the kind of people who leap immediately from the bed for a post-coital shower. It's a point in my internal venn-diagram of "Hates Women" and "Clearly a Gay Dude."

Perhaps that's unfair, though - if THow is advocating the babywipe approach for everyone, then he just falls into the creepy neurotic neat-freak who would really prefer a Real Doll category.

You know what, too? He's being all territorial and imposing grooming rules and stuff with some [theoretical] woman's vag--dude: why don't you just cram a GPS thingy up there and then you'll know where she is when she doesn't use baby wipes. shit!

Someone needs to call Ryan Gosling and ask him to have his dollmaker make up a little something special for Terrence in his own image....with tits and a sanitary pussy.

my husband owned a velour track suit before we moved in, and when he thought he was "gansta"... aah memories, thanks Terrence!

A guy with a santorum phobia that strong should stay away from the back door action.

He should start a charity. I don't have a bidet and I would sure like one. Those ads on Gawker totally got me interested.

@jupiterspaw: Or a turd.

Great job, Jennifer!

@shuffler: This is not to be missed. His own dad calls him on bullshit?

@shuffler:

wow.

@HookerfaceAnon: add me to that list too. fucking awful, blatant oscar-fishing/ wahh wahh wahh.you are black i'm white and she's latina, can we all hug and smile now so there can be sunshine and rainbows?

@judyb12: try consuming only cigarettes, coffee and beer for a week...

@SarahHeartburn: Right! I heard the story on Oprah, but never anything beyond. That is craaazy. And, damn me to hell, I still find him so sexy from his role in Best Man, bunghole issues be DAMNED. Be seen, Terrence, not heard, baby.

I don't know if anyone else heard this, but Howard was on the Adam Carolla radio show the other day (last week?) and he took questions from Adam & Danny Bonaduce about this subject for a good 3 minutes. He used the comparison: "If you were walking down the street and put your hand in some human feces and someone gave you just tissue to wipe it off, would that be enough?" I guess that makes sense in the case of *hands* but I don't use my butthole to get food into my mouth...

@X on the MTA: Yes, this revelation is wonderful. Crash was like random thoughts that I have throughout the day set within an after school special.
Anyone anywhere who has EVER given an ounce of thought to race relations in the US was probably highly disappointed in the piece 'o shit film.

I love wet wipes for #2, when necessary. Hell, ladies, have you tried it?! It's magical. C'mon, this is why Europeans have bidets.

I wonder if his boyfriends have to wipe their asses with baby wipes too?? He needs to clarify..
This dude is all shades of CRAZY!!

@HOOKERFACEANON: how ANYONE liked that movie is beyond me. Hey maybe we can all just pat ourselves on the back for recognizing that there's a race problem, and go complacently to be.

Jen, great interview. Talk about violence and representation...

Jennifer, you are like the Stuttering John of Jezebel. Brava.

@bifteck: I completely agree. Why wouldn't you want a clean ass, people???

I haven't read through all the comments, but am I the only one who immediately assumed that his statement revealed a predeliction for eating ass (in which case, having a mate who wipes is key) or is it just b/c I'm a gay?

@zahava: yeah, a clean ass cleaned with soap and water like in india... what the fuck is in baby wipes anywat? dimethylsulfatechromiumnickelatedigliceridemercury? um, hello!!! thats like the most porous membranous part of the body... why you think people shove drugs and light bulbs up there? faster distribution... TH might have a point about cleanliness but i'd bet his ahole absorbs more chemicals than his nostrils does in LA.... gawd he's still a creepo....

and Japan has the best toilets... they do the work so all you gotta do is pull your pants down, squat, do your biz and reverse.... TH should order some for his lady fellas

@HookerfaceAnon: Crash sucked ass. I am still mad about it.

@shuffler: WTF? That's one of the most disturbing things I've ever read. "His groin started bleeding from a previous injury he had on the job"??? Ouch!

Um, they do make those flushable wipes for grownups...or do they still? I remember being kind of shocked by the commercials. Like, "If regular toilet paper just can't get YOUR ass clean enough..." What are people eating?

I kinda agree with mel's diner though. Baby wipes are for primarily folks who (1) can't clean themselves and (2) would sit in their own poop all day long if no one intervened. Hemorrhoids are a special case.

yay poop day!!!

haha.. this would only be better if there was video! I love it!

I think Terrence is on to something, Baby Wipes for Adults. You could call them, Selectables, his face could be on the box. Yes, Selectables--for when toilet paper, normal washing and grooming just aren't enough.

Is it crazy to shower after you poop?

  Terrence Howard is starting to scare me! A couple of weeks ago Terrence Howard told Elle Magazine that he will only date chicks who use baby wipes on their no-no area and if they did't, he would allow them to correct it.

@SilverJacket: My bf does once in a while, cause he says "guy poop" is way worse than "girl poop", and he usually feels "icky" after an especially bad one. I wonder whether he came to this conclusion on his own assumptions, or if he ran a case study and made comparisons. Either way, at least I know he's cleaner than a baby's butt. Unlike some slovenly ex's I've had who more than likely *did* lounge around in their own excrement, unbenknownst to me.

Why Howard's (t)issue with women is much ado-doo about dick:

1) There's obvy some word limit shit where titles are concerned, cuz "It In The" didn't make the cut,

and

2) Clearly, "Time to end" is mo-street-speak for engaging in anal sex.

So I'm gonna go ahead and not wipe my ass any better than I already do; it's evident T-How won't be having it anytime soon.

@SilverJacket:
i dont think its crazy.
i live in buenos aires now, and have had a bidet in all of my apartments, thank god. i guess my real reason for doing this is that i never know when my husband is going to pounce on me, and i like to be fresh and clean down there just in case. but when i get back to the states, i'll def be looking for my very own Terrance Howard endorsed "adult wipes" :)

I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard. But I must say, I feel badly for anyone who pays the mortgage and feeds the family by running interference for a dumb actor and his ass-wipe commentary. There must be a better way to earn a living!
