April 7, 2012 - 2:00 pm by VIBE

At some point this week, we've all turned on the news or checked out a blog, and thought: "Wow, what a fail!" From Amanda Bynes' arrest to Mary J. Blige's Burger King commercial controversy, here are the fails of the week.

Who: Burger King
Fail: Prematurely releasing Mary J. Blige’s chicken wrap ad “before all of the licensing and final approvals were obtained.”
Redemption: The unfinished business of the ad wasn’t the greatest look for Mary, but it can be forgiven once Burger King releases the final product (considering it's better).

Mary J. Blige's Burger King commercial

Who: Khia

Fail: Leaking her nude pictures. Redemption: Whether she was really trying to beat a hacker to the punch or not, she should put out new music instead.

Who: Maven Huffman

Fail: Getting arrested after “doctor shopping” to obtain multiple painkiller prescriptions. Redemption: Just don’t do it. Drug scams are never a good look, especially in Florida, where it’s a crime to obtain multiple prescriptions without doctor consent.

Who: Amanda Bynes

Fail: Driving while drunk. Redemption: She should leave the alcohol alone until she knows how to drink responsibly. Check out last week's Fail of the Week.
