Michael Richards expected it to be a mediation. Not a media circus.
The former "Seinfeld" star was a no-show Saturday for a mock trial in Los Angeles to address jos racial tirade during a stand-up routine last November.
The event was organized by celebrity attorney Gloria Allred, who is representing the four African-Americans Richards targeted with the N-word, and took place at Loyola Law School.
Richards' lawyer, Douglas Mirell, said his client sought numerous "opportunities to apologize to all who were offended by his words," but declined to participate in Saturday's event because Allred ignored state guidelines for how such an "important personal dialogue" should be carried out in favor of organizing a "Jerry Springer-style publicity stunt."
Allred, meanwhile, said she was tired of waiting for Richards to show up as promised with a meeting with her clients.

A lot of strange, crazy and even predictable things happened in the celebrity world during 2006; however, no one was prepared for the racial tensions and outbursts from well-known and respected actor/director Mel Gibson and Seinfeld star Michael Richards.
No stranger to debatable material, Mel began the year shooting his latest controversial epic, Apocalypto, about the end days of the Mayan civilization. And in May he pointed his finger at President Bush, comparing the U.S. leader to the barbaric Mayans portrayed in his new film.[...] Read more!

Celebs are no strangers to controversy, but a few completely lost their heads this year and found themselves in more trouble than they (or we) ever could have expected. We were absolutely shocked when Mel Gibson was pulled over for drunk driving and proceeded to verbally attack everyone around him with anti-Semitic and sexist remarks. Similarly Michael Richards went on a racist rant on two African American men at an LA nightclub. Both men have since apologized but the damage has been done. Their lovable images are tarnished and it's doubtful either of their careers will ever fully recover.

Is it too soon to mock the Michael Richards incident? As both Andy Dick and Damon Wayans have learned in recent days, the answer appears to be yes--at least when it comes to using the N-word.
After testing the waters Saturday at L.A.'s Improv comedy club by calling a stunned audience "a bunch of n---ers," Dick issued an apology Tuesday, acknowledging that his use of the racial epithet was inappropriate.
Meanwhile, in a Sunday set at the Laugh Factory, Wayans elected to ignore the club's newly imposed ban on the N-word, which went into effect following Richards' rant, stating he'd be "damned if the white man uses that word last," and going on to use it 16 times in the course of his 20-minute routine.
