NBC cafeteria embroiled in Black History Month controversy
According to the New York Post, a special meal in honor of Black History Month at NBC’s cafeteria in New York has come under fire after a spread featuring fried chicken, collard greens and black-eyed peas was served—though the African-American chef who planned it says she doesn’t understand the outrage.
The controversy began when Questlove, the drummer for Jimmy Fallon’s house band the Roots, posted a photo of the menu on Twitter, on which he has some 1.2 million followers.
“Questlove, who I serve every day and who enjoys my food, requested the neck bone [cooked in] the black-eyed peas and fried chicken, then got off the line, saying, ‘This is racist,’ ” said the chef, Leslie Calhoun.”The next thing you know, people were taking pictures of the sign and asking all the other black people in the cafeteria if this was racist. They said that it wasn’t.”
NBC responded via its official corporate communications Twitter with the following statement: “The sign in the NBCU cafeteria has been removed. We apologize for anyone who was offended by it.”
UPDATE: Questlove tells Popeater that he didn’t mean to stir up controversy online: “It was a joke taken too far. I’ll be packing a lunch for the next two years.”

Kristen Stewart jury duty causes courtroom drama
Nineteen-year-old Twilight star Kristen Stewart was recently called to jury duty in L.A., where she helped decide a case involving prostitution and an undercover cop.
At the end of the three-day trial, the man accused of paying the undercover officer for sex was found not guilty, but another drama accidentally arose from Stewart’s presence, according to E!Online (via People): After a security guard supposedly requested and received a photo with the actress, the guard’s wife posted the picture online, endangering his job.
“Right now my husband and the security guard are in trouble,” a person claiming to be the man’s wife posted online, after yanking down the photo, “for [the picture] having gone up … because it is confidential when celebrities are in court.”
The actress’s rep had no comment.

'American Idol' source on Howard Stern rumors: The search for Simon Cowell's replacement 'has just begun'
While the blogosphere is atwitter today over a New York Post report that American Idol has tapped radio jock Howard Stern as the leading candidate to replace Simon Cowell on the show’s judging panel in 2011, a source close to the show tells EW that “the search has just begun, nor are there any front-runners at this time.” Furthermore, “nobody’s going to be offered a job [as a permanent Idol judge] for a while,” the source added. “We’re doing a very thorough search.” A call to Stern’s PR rep was not immediately returned.
Cowell announced last month he will not return to Idol for its 10th season next year, and will instead bring his X-Factor singing competition to Fox’s fall 2011 schedule.
