Mark Wahlberg certainly got our attention -- and raised some eyebrows -- when he said that if he had been on United Flight 93 on Sept. 11, it wouldn't have gown down.
On being scheduled to be a passenger on the doomed flight that crashed in Shanksville, Pa., the actor-producer-former Funky Buncher told Men's Journal: "If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn't have went down like it did. There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, 'OK, we're going to land somewhere safely, don't worry.'"
Now, we realize that Wahlberg was just being macho -- and voicing the rage that most Americans feel toward the terrorists who killed nearly 3,000 people that day -- but some feel he was suggesting that the victims weren't as brave or as tough as he would have been.
Almost immediately after the story made the rounds, Wahlberg issued his mea culpa: "I deeply apologize to the families of the victims that my answer came off as insensitive, it was certainly not my intention," he said.
In the same interview, the married father of four also dissed one of his Hollywood colleagues when he said he'll see any movie his wife chooses, "As long as it isn't a Sarah Jessica Parker movie." But he does have a soft side -- he "cried about six or seven times" during "The Help."

Mark Wahlberg is judgmental but it's not that outrageous. Tom Cruise used to be a frugal workaholic robotic young man and now having weird mental meltdown. Dunno why Johnny Depp is here. I know that's usually a female issue but men are not too different deep down. Brad Pitt just talked about his personal feelings to justify Angie and him so people can stop judging his new spouse. Jen Aniston was just joking - it's a dark self-deprecating humor that shouldn't be translated negatively for its own sake, ppl need to lighten up. Sharon Stone reads political news and has opinions. Kristen Stewart just supports Johnny's perspective and is actually pretty sensitive though she lashed out on staff after getting dumped.
Mawk W- He didn't insult 9/11 families? That's a crock. Sure what he said wasn't exactly PC but hey, I'm sure he wasn't the only person who has fantasized about saving people, right?
Kanye- I kind of feel like what he said was just too stupid for anyone to take offense. What abortion costs 50-100gs???? Are the pills/tools made of solid gold???
Jennifer A- Okay? she used a word that people associate with the mentally disabled. I think people who associate that word with those people are in the wrong. It DOES have other meanings. Someone getting paid ridiculously high amounts of money to play dress up-retarded. A person with a mental handicap- Mentally handicapped(OR handicapable!)
J Depp & K Stew- Well yes, I can relate to this, I hate having my photo taken too. And yes, it does kind of feel like a violation. "an act of plunder, violent seizure, or abuse; despoliation;", "to seize, take, or carry off by force.".
Sharon S- Well you're just a b*tch.
Brad P- Whats wrong with telling the truth??? People are so quick to assume this is an attack on Jennifer A. But do they not understand that marriage involves TWO people?
Tom C- Yeah, he's a dick. But we already knew that.
He really shamed his family that night. What an idiot.
Meanwhile, real men and women became real heroes on that flight. They fought and died to make sure that plane didn't didn't get where it was pointed.
You would not have been able to do anything. There were no civilians on those flights.
Shanksville was a stupid hole in the ground. No bodies, no luggage, no nothing.
9-11 was an inside job and not only that, it was a STUPID inside job. Anyone that really does a bit a research right here on the internet can get the facts. Americans have become lazy and stupid. They just sit there and let three corporations monopolize their media, all of it.
Keep your trap shut bitch, until u can back up what u say.
