Adidas Taking Heat Over Email 'You Survived the Boston Marathon'

Published | Updated

12:50 PM PT -- Adidas issued its mea culpa, saying: "We are incredibly sorry. Clearly, there was no thought given to the insensitive email subject line we sent Tuesday. We deeply apologize for our mistake."

How did nobody screen this?!?!?

Adidas is under fire Tuesday after sending out a mass email with the subject line: "Congrats, you survived the Boston Marathon!"

C'mon people ... really?!

The email opened into an advertisement urging runners to buy Boston Marathon gear like shirts and jackets ... but people are pissed at the lack of sensitivity after the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.

Three people were killed and hundreds were injured in the attack.

So far, no comment from Adidas ... but someone has some serious 'splainin to do.

He's now pleading guilty to 2 misdemeanors, including attempted aggravated animal cruelty ... according to the Manhattan D.A.'s Office. Under the deal, Chatwal must undergo extensive psychological and drug treatment, do 5 days community service and pay $1,039 in restitution to the ASPCA.

Richard Simmons Hospitalized For Gastrointestinal Issues

Published | Updated

Richard Simmons went to the hospital Monday for "severe indigestion" ... according to his rep.

Richard had been battling "discomfort while eating" for several days, and finally decided to get treatment at a hospital on Monday.

His rep, Michael Catalano, told ABC News ... Richard was already doing much better and expects to make a full recovery.

Our sources say the "gastrointestinal issue" wasn't serious enough for an ambulance, and Richard's people drove him to the hospital.

This is the second time in the last year Richard's had to leave his home -- where he's been sheltered for years -- for hospital care. Last summer, he was at Cedars-Sinai for 3 days after his housekeeper said he'd become incoherent.

His people said that was a case of dehydration ... which seemed weird for several days of treatment.

The Rock He's Doing Next 'Fast and the Furious' Flick Beef with Vin Diesel Squashed

Published | Updated

The Rock and Vin Diesel have buried the hatchet and both will star in the next installment of the insanely popular 'Fast and the Furious' franchise ... sources involved in the production tell TMZ.

Our sources say Vin and Dwayne have met privately several times since animosity between them exploded on the set of "The Fate of the Furious." We're told they are "good" and both are "1000% in" for the next flick.

The sources are opening up about the feud ... one explaining it was all over "real estate." In movie language, real estate is all about how much an actor shines -- who gets the best action scenes, who gets the hottest girl, who shows off their body more, and who gets the most face time.

It became a big issue for Dwayne and Vin, but ultimately, Dwayne acknowledged it was Vin's movie -- he's listed #1 on the call sheet.

The one thing the feud was not about ... money. They both make a fortune off the franchise.

But all systems go for the next installment.

Still, the authorities stressed the public will be key in apprehending Stephens.

Drake House Burglarized By Oddly Thirsty Girl

Published | Updated

Drake is the latest celeb whose home was burglarized, but the criminal's booty totaled around $10 in water and soda.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... a member of Drake's crew walked into the house at 10:30 PM on April 3 and found a 24-year-old woman in one of the bedrooms, wearing one of Drake's hoodies.

The cops were called, and the woman told them she had permission to enter, which she did not. She then confessed to pilfering Pepsi, Sprite and Fiji water. Drake wasn't home at the time.

It's unclear how the woman got inside the house or how long she was in the house. There were no signs of forced entry.

The lady was arrested and charged with felony burglary. It doesn't matter whether $100,000 in jewels were stolen or just a couple of sodas -- if she enters illegally and takes stuff -- it's a felony.
