Sarah Palin will present a TV special on Fox tomorrow night called Real American Stories. But some of the interviews were taped years ago, and LL Cool J didn't know his would eventually be used in a Sarah Palin-hosted show.
Here's what he wrote on the Twitter last night: "Fox lifted an old interview I gave in 2008 to someone else & are misrepresenting to the public in order to promote Sarah Palins Show. WOW"

Update: Fox will indeed edit LL out of the show tomorrow. They released a typically @!$%#y statement about it, too.
However, as it appears that Mr. Smith does not want to be associated with a program that could serve as an inspiration to others, we are cutting his interview from the special and wish him the best with his fledgling acting career."
Misrepresentation?! FOX News?!

Glad someone else thought the "fledgling" remark was a little snide.

That bitchy response is what makes Fox News and everyone who works there the definition of "douche bag".
Trying to paint LL Cool J as someone who doesnt care about "a program that could serve as an inspiration to others" and a two-bit amateur actor just because he doesnt want to be a part of Sarah Palin's hideous money-grab? That sounds like something the jackass who sat across from me in AP Spanish would do. I wonder if he works there?

You would think Palin could get "live" interviews with current guests. What's up with using 2 year old material? Cool J did concede that FOX could do what they wanted with the interview he gave in 2008. It was important he let the public know that he WAS NOT sitting with Palin at the time of the interview. It would have been interesting to see how FOX was to air it. Would it have been edited to appear Palin was actually involved? I say good for LL Cool J.

But that would require work and true journalism.

Toby Keith has also stated that Palin didn't interview him and that they must be using an old interview of his.

Likewise, Toby Keith never sat down with Sarah Palin, Keith's spokesman told HifFix. "We were never contacted by Fox," Keith's spokesman said. "I have no idea what interview it's taken from. They're promoting this like it's a brand new interview."

They get called out and caught for dishonestly promoting an interview that has no relevance to their reality trash show hostess, and they still come out with a pretty bitchy statement without apologizing!!!

Sounds more like Fledgling FOX News.
