Kirstie Alley Forgives George Lopez

In a series of tweets, one revealing that George Lopez sent her flowers to punctuate his apology. Kirstie Alley tweeted her forgiveness, ending their two-day twitter war.

“In fairness.. Mr. Lopez sent me a HUGE Slew of flowers today… I formally accept your flowers and your regards…hers yur kidney back..;)

On his late night show, the day after Kirstie Alley’s fantastic “Dancing with the Stars” cha cha debut, George Lopez compared her to the little piggy who went to market and the one who went home crying “wee wee wee” (with a visual of a Geico commercial).

Maybe war is the wrong word, because George Lopez immediately realized he blew it. He called into The Billy Bush Show and said something about Kirstie having a lot of fans, so he knew he screwed up. Oh. So if she didn’t have a lot of fans, he would have thought it was okay. What a jerk he is!

Here is a link to the video where George skewered Kendra Wilkinson, Ralph Macchio and Wendy Williams, too.

Even Joy Behar, who usually comes to the defense of embattled comedians after a bad joke, threw George and her audience under the bus. When she brought up Kathy Griffin’s Bristol Palin fat joke fail, the audience tittered and she said: “See, they`re laughing. It`s like an automatic laugh when you do a fat joke. But they`re idiots.” Wow! You’ve got to know you’re not funny when Joy won’t defend you.

Kirstie originally refused to accept George Lopez’ apology, saying: “I don’t need or want ur apology…I want your kidney dude..on behalf of ur X and all the women uv insulted…give it back.” The 49-year-old Lopez underwent a kidney transplant in 2005. The kidney was donated by his then wife, Ann, so Kirstie thought he should have a much higher appreciation of the female species.

After accepting the apology and tweeting about the flowers, Kirstie tweeted her philosophy on forgiveness, paraphrasing a little Alexander Pope in there*:

“Oh hell, we all F up…. So forgiveness is divine… Thank God 99% of the people I know have forgiven me.. And The 1% are pricks…”

* From Pope’s Essay on Criticism:
To err is human,
To forgive divine
