The amount of stuff that people want to know that they have no right to know but feel that they do is always interesting.

Fair enough, but we're dealing in the world of public figures here, so whether or not someone like this has done anything or not, a apology without seen actions is going to be viewed cynically and can be judged as an act of a horrified PR staff and not a horrified person that's genuinely sorry.
Plus don't you think its kind of an obligation for a celebrity if they're going to issue an apology to kind of follow it up with an action?
Apologies mean very little to me, its equivalent to a convicted murderer tearfully apologizing to a family just before sentencing.
I always ask the question and it goes to a lot of these celebrities, are they sorry about their actions, or are the sorry that they got caught and their careers in jeopardy?
