Like a beautiful, insane phoenix that rises from the ashes of a crazy fire, Glee‘s Naya Rivera has returned to the set of The View to explain what she meant when she said that white people shower more than people of color.
Rivera’s initial comments—”I think that white people shower a lot more than ethnic [people]. I feel like showering more than once a day or every day is such a white people thing”—were met by annoyance, mostly from “ethnic” people who, unsurprisingly, didn’t like Rivera dictating how often they bathed or her implication that white people are cleaner than they are.
Responding to criticism, Rivera first tweeted, “When you get out of the shower today, get a sense of humor. Love ya!” She then returned to The View with a softer approach, saying, “Yesterday, we were talking about a study that says you’re supposed to shower once or twice every three days. I had an opinion on it that was supposed to be a joke. Apparently it didn’t go over so well.”
“Back off of Naya. She’s very clean,” View co-host Nicole Wallace added.
So there you have it. It was a joke. Naya Rivera showers constantly.
Gwynenth Paltrow—patron saint of the outdoor pizza oven and Our Lady of Guada-Goop-we—talked about her past high profile relationships during a candid interview with Howard Stern yesterday, telling Stern that Brad Pitt (the Chris to her Cathy Dollanganger) “was too good” for her and that Ben Affleck, at the time of their relationship, “was not in a good place in his life to have a girlfriend.” Responding to more recent events, Gwyneth says that she regrets using the term “conscious uncoupling” to describe her split with husband Chris Martin.

Kristen Stewart, who’s constantly criticized or lauded for looking like she doesn’t give a fuck about what you think of her, is surprised by her public perception. As the Still Alice actress told Salon, “I’m like, actually, no one gives a fuck like me. No one gives more of a fuck than me. It’s just ironic to me. I’m always like, really?”
