UFC President Dana White is calling out convicted woman beater Floyd Mayweather.

In a just-released videotaped diatribe, White refers to the champion boxer as "racist" due to comments Mayweather made about star point guard Jeremy Lin, claiming the Knicks sensation was only receiving press because he's Asian.

"Don't worry about what all these other guys are doing and shooting your big mouth off on Twitter," White says below. "What you should worry about is getting in there and making the fight that all the boxing fans want to see. Get in there and fight Manny Pacquiao."

And while you're at it, Floyd, look up some numbers: Lin scored more points in his first five NBA starts than any player in modern basketball history.

Dana White Calls Out Floyd Mayweather

Do you think Floyd Mayweather is racist?

Lindsay Lohan, model citizen? Never thought we'd see the day.

The actress is kicking arse and taking names in the probation department these days. She got another glowing report from the judge overseeing her case this morning, and in one more month, could fulfill her requirements at last.

Judge Stephanie Sautner gushed, "You seem to be getting your life back on track!"

Sautner was impressed that for the third time in a row, Lohan completed her required community service and therapy sessions, saying "You're in the home stretch!"

By March 29, she must complete her final 14 days of community service at the L.A. County morgue, and five more therapy sessions. If she stays on track, it's over.

Well, mostly. Lindsay would then be placed on informal probation, meaning all she has to do is obey all laws ... okay, not a guarantee by any stretch of the imagination.

Still, sources close to Lindsay say that while she was no fan of Sautner in the beginning, she now realizes that without her, she never could've turned this around.

It was Sautner who decided she needed structure and rode her hard every month, even throwing her in jail here and there if need be, until she got the message.

It's working. Lindsay realizes the only reason new opportunities have surfaced - hosting SNL, starring in the Liz Taylor movie - are because people trust her again.

Keep it up, girl. We'll sort of miss your monthly arrests, but good work.

Rejoice, members of Team Conan.

TBS has extended its deal with Conan O'Brien by two years, the network announced today, with its Head of Programming, Michael Wright, saying in a press release:

“We are proud to be in business with Conan O'Brien for the long run. Night after night, Conan and his team have put together terrific shows that draw a young and fiercely loyal audience. As if that weren't enough, they have also built a dynamic online presence that keeps fans engaged like no other show in late night.”

Conan has enjoyed three straight months of audience growth. It's averaging 1.1 million viewers per night in 2012.

“I am excited to continue my run with TBS because they have been fantastic partners," Conan O'Brien said. "This means I’ll be taping episodes of Conan well into the Ron Paul presidency.”

Apparently people watch Basketball Wives.

VH1's erroneously named franchise keeps coming back, with a fourth (!) season getting the green light and already underway for an hour every Monday night.

Who's starring this year? These nut jobs:

Here's a brief rundown of the "roster" and what we can expect in a season that promises to up the drama like never before ... eat your hearts out, Real Housewives.

1. Shaunie O'Neal, ex-wife of future Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal.

VH1's bio: "Shaunie's goal with her series was to shed light on the complex lives of the women who stand beside these larger-than-life professional athletes."

"She's here to show that it's not all glitz and glamour ... [She] is Queen Bee to the rest of the Basketball Wives, who swarm to her for advice and guidance."

That is beyond sad. This is her fourth season on the program.

2. Evelyn Lozada, ex-fiancee of Antione Walker, current fiancee of Chad Ochocinco (an NFL player, not a basketball star, and soon to be Chad Johnson again).

VH1: "She is highly regarded as a fashionista ... Evelyn is photographed not just because of ex-fiance's game, but because of her own impressive 'shoe game.'"

Whatever. Like Shaunie, she is an original cast member.

The journey of Rachel Crow on The X Factor may have ended in tears, but this 14-year old former contestant has a reason to smile today:

She's nearing a deal with Nickelodeon to anchor her very own series!

“We are in the early stages now,” Crow tells The New York Post. “I want it to be definitely very ‘Rachel.’ Something that shows who I am and who I want to be.”

Simon Cowell, who served as Crow's mentor during her X Factor run and expressed extreme disappointment when she was sent home, added in a statement:

“I am incredibly happy for Rachel,” Simon Cowell said in a prepared statement. “This girl has it. We saw her potential at the first audition and Nickelodeon and Columbia are the right homes for her.”

While the network that made stars out of Miranda Cosgrove and Amanda Bynes, among others, figured out exactly how to shape Rachel's show, she'll appear on multiple episodes of Fred: The Show as a character named Starr. Yes, folks, she'll sing.

Justin Theroux knows how to get DOWN!

Stopping by the Ellen DeGeneres show to promote Wanderlust, in which he co-stars with girlfriend Jennifer Aniston (they met on set) and Paul Rudd, Justin showed off some sick break dance moves. Turns out we can thank Jen for this, too.

Watch him let loose to Rob Base DJ E Z Rock's "It Takes Two":

Justin Theroux Dances on Ellen

"My girlfriend, I don’t know if any of you guys know her, ever since she saw Zoolander she’s been obsessed with making me break dance," Justin told Ellen.

While she tried to get him to bust a move at her birthday party, Theroux says he got out of it by telling her he couldn't do it without his "breaking shoes."

He continues, "So we got home that night. It was late and she literally came out with a pair of shoes. My actual 'breaking shoes.'" The best part of it?

Jennifer Aniston was nice enough to send the shoes to Ellen too, and after a moment of resignation, he was not shy about showing off his moves. Respect!

It's been just two months since Katy Perry and Russell Brand split, but rumor has it he's moved on already - with 25-year-old model and artist Oriela Medellin Amieiro.

"It was about 9:30 in the morning, and I saw them getting into a Range Rover," a witness dished to Life & Style, which made Katy's heartbreak its new cover story.

"She had obviously stayed over at his house because she was in evening clothes and high heels. She threw her head back and laughed - she was having a good time."

Not having a good time these days? KP.

Katy Perry now wonders, according to a "lifelong pal," whether Russell really was the "changed man" he claimed to be when they married in October 2010.

"I'm such a fool," Katy recently confessed, allegedly. "I believed in him."

Sources say that Russell Brand has been "on a tear" recently, partying, clubbing, coming on to women all over LA, a harem of babes that apparently includes, but is not limited to, the Mexican-born Oriela Medellin Amieiro.

Whenever he leaves office, President Barack Obama may have a found a new career. Who would have guessed his reelection strategy would involve more singing?

Last month, the Commander-in-Chief sang Al Green at Harlem's Apollo Theater. Then last night, he shared the stage with Mick Jagger, B.B. King and Jeff Beck.

The all-star musical lineup performed in the East Room of the White House, with the President joining in for an ensemble rendition of "Sweet Home Chicago" ...

Obama Sings Sweet Home Chicago

The full version of In Performance at the White House: Red, White and Blues is set to air on local PBS stations on next Monday, February 27, at 9 p.m. ET.

For most of the evening, Barack and Michelle Obama took in the concert from the audience, swaying in their seats and occasionally getting up to dance.

But after some prodding from Buddy Guy, who referenced Obama's Apollo performance and told him, "You gotta keep it up," the President took the stage.

Taking the microphone offered by Rolling Stones frontman Jagger, Obama sang a few bars - again, surprisingly well - and handed the mic off to B.B. King.

"This music speaks to something universal," Obama said, as quoted by the AP.

"No one goes through life without both joy and pain, triumph and sorrow. The blues gets all of that, sometimes with just one lyric or one note."

Kourtney Kardashian has a message for her fans: OMG.

That's right: Oh... My... GIRL!

The reality star sold the announcement of her baby's gender to OK! this week, revealing to the tabloid that she's having a girl in just a few months.

We're "so, so excited," Kourtney says, while boyfriend Scott Disick - who apparently has NOT abandoned his baby mama - adds:

"I even wanted a girl the first time - and then we had Mason and it couldn't have been any better... We're very fortunate to have the combination that everyone wishes for."

Does the couple have a name selected?

"We actually have one name that we both love, but I'm not sure," Kardashian said. "I feel like you don't really know until after you meet the baby."

In other words: we'll tell you when a tabloid shells out big bucks for the answer.
