Celebritard eco-hippycrites

I really have nothing to add to this wonderfully snarky article about celebrity ecofascists, except that I wish they would all just kindly STFU about Goreball Worming™ until they practice what they preach. Of course, none of this is news to anyone–it’s just fun to point and laugh at their hypocrisy.

Here’s world-renowned genius Brad Pitt:

“There’s a lot of problems in the world right now because of our dependency on oil,” Pitt gravely warned his fans in a recent interview.

Key word being “our,” as in his and Angelina’s dependency on oil, along with the rest of celebritardom.

Apologies all around for sending you to a link with a frightening pic of Sting and Trudie Styler. ACK!

Actor Jim Caviezel walks the walk

You know Jim Caviezel, from The Passion of the Christ and many others, including one of my favorite movies–The Thin Red Line. I’ve been a fan of his for a long time, and not just because of his films. How can you not admire someone like this? (Via the Anchoress.)

Jim Caviezel, the star of the blockbuster film The Passion of the Christ, told an interviewer that he had been challenged by a friend who was not pro-life to live up to his professed pro-life convictions and adopt a disabled child.

The friend told Caviezel that if he did that, then he would change to the pro-life position. When Caviezel and his wife, Kerri, went to China to adopt not one, but eventually two orphans suffering from brain tumours, the friend reneged on the deal. Caviezel, however, said, “It didn’t matter to me because the joy that we had from (Bo) - he’s like our own.”

The couple’s first child, Bo, had been abandoned on a train, grew up in an orphanage until he was five and was diagnosed with a brain tumour. The Caviezels nursed Bo through his surgeries and he remains today at the centre of the family.

“We took the harder road,” the actor said. “That is what faith is to me; it’s action. It’s the Samaritan. It’s not the one who says he is; it’s the one who does - and does without bringing attention to himself. I’m saying this because I want to encourage other people.”

Go read the whole thing.

Speaking of Catholics, rumors are circulating that President Bush may convert to Catholicism. There aren’t a lot of specifics, but it’s an interesting rumor at the very least! Closet Catholic? I can relate to that–if he’s really a “closet Catholic” like I am, he’ll do it (I’ve just been lazy, to be honest).

Miley Cyrus and Vanity Fair, from the mom of a Miley/Hannah Montana fan (UPDATED)

Y’all know I have a daughter of the Hannah Montana-fan age. I sort of feel obligated to say something because I am so absolutely disgusted, but I almost feel talked out on the subject, at least with my daughter. I’ve certainly spent more time thinking about it than I’d expect, but nobody ever said parenting a young girl nowadays was easy, I guess. I just needed to talk about it with my daughter before I wrote about this episode here.

The short version: If you read Vanity Fair now, after this, you are actively part of the problem.

But that’s not all I can say. Not by a longshot. I’m not going to post the pictures here; they’re everywhere else anyway. I will not put a child in provocative poses on display for pedophiles to ogle. I’m kind of annoyed that everyone expressing outrage is doing it, but I guess people figure it’s everywhere else already, so whatever. I’m just not going to.

So okay, what the hell were her parents thinking? Is Billy Ray Achy-Breaky-One-Hit-Wonder Cyrus worried that his cash cow daughter has peaked? Is he afraid she’ll end up “washed up” at 16? What in God’s name do her parents think these pictures appeal to, in Vanity Fair magazine? It’s not like nine year-olds read it - hell, as the parent of a nine year-old, even I don’t read it. I loathe their Hollywood-NYC celebrity voyeur/porn mentality, their libertine hedonism, and their liberal politics. And Annie Leibovitz? Seriously? Does that idiot father of hers not know the style of photography she does? Oh wait, of course he does. Even Miley Cyrus knew, at 15.

Gawker, certainly no blog championing the rights of children or sexual modesty, calls out Leibovitz and Vanity Fair, and this is a whole lot of what I fear as well:

There’s a technique called “grooming” that pedophiles use on their victims (yes, we just learned about it today, thank you). One definition says “Grooming behavior is intended to make the victim or potential victim or victim’s guardians feel comfortable with the molester and even interested in interacting with him.” And here’s a characteristic of a regressed child molester: “They place pseudo-adult status on their victims and then view them as they would their peers.”

Isn’t that what it’s really about? Appealing to child predators? Weren’t we JUST talking about a legal case in Texas where girls this age are being married off and having children with much older men? That’s objectionable, but not this?

Gawker goes after Leibovitz here, too:

Yes, a free press extends into the celebrity arena, and yes, we’re all for openness in reporting, obviously. But Leibovitz, who has earned over the course of her career the right to call the shots on the photos that fill our country’s glossiest magazine pages, has lost her perspective. It’s a matter of very simple decency, and one doesn’t have to be a prude, or a conservative, or even someone frustrated with the sheer vapid nature of these things, to steer clear of sexualizing children for the sake of selling more magazines.

E X A C T L Y.

The kid is 15 years old. What’s she going to do with her consenting parents there, and Annie Leibovitz the renowned photographer? Resist? Not bloody likely.

Annie took, like, a beautiful shot, and I thought it was really cool. That’s what she wanted me to do, and you can’t say no to Annie.

God, I hate these vultures’ guts.

You know, it’s been like a death watch of sorts, just waiting, hoping this sweet girl wouldn’t have a Britney-Jamie Lynn-Lindsay moment, like they all do. I know that’s awful, just waiting for it to happen, praying she would be different. Certainly, this isn’t a Britney-Lindsay (or God knows, Jamie Lynn) moment, but it’s a warning shot of sorts. Billy Ray Cyrus has let the world know that it’s okay to think of his 15 year-old daughter as a sexual object, with a greedy assist from Leibovitz and Vanity Fair, all to happy to get the big star and the publicity that attends her. Controversy and moral/ethical considerations be damned, it’s about money.

Now of course, Miley’s put out a statement expressing regret, although I doubt she thought to do that all on her own. I’m not one to talk about a “bonfire” of Hannah Montana crap, but I don’t know where to go next with my daughter’s favorite actress/singer. Even I like Miley, and I’m certainly no fan of bubblegum pop at all. I don’t fault her; I fault all the so-called adults around her who should damn well know better. Fifteen year-olds, even millionaire stars like Miley Cyrus, simply do not know what the sexualization of kids is about or what it does to them.

Please, Miley, show all of us–mothers, daughters, and dads, too–that we are worrying for no reason in your case. Our daughters are crazy about you, and we need you (and your young celebrity peers) to be worthy of their adoration. Make this really be “a mistake.” Please.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: My friend Bill emailed me this; please read it.

Here’s a site that will interest you:

http://www.minorcon.org/miley1.html

You probably didn’t watch the Donna Reed show, but it was a big TV Family show. Paul Petersen played the son. His site is mainly aimed at current, and former child stars. Some of the stories will break your heart:

http://www.minorcon.org/toc.html

Bill followed that up with a link to help support the fight against child exploitation in pop culture. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I wish the major gossip sites like Gawker, TMZ, etc. would make this organization known to their readers as well.

My friends, it is no longer a question of IF we’ll make things better for professional children, but WHEN. We remain committed to our intervention and support mission as well, acting through several vehicles. We are tied to many delivery systems for help in substance abuse and treatment, we continue to offer financial aid and no-cost counseling and mentoring programs. We continue to serve on the Young Performers Committee (now starting our 7th year) and attend the continuing Orientation Meetings for young performers and their parents held every 3rd Tuesday of the month at Screen Actors Guild headquarters in Los Angeles.

Legislation is working its way through the process in KANSAS and NORTH CAROLINA, plus Iowa, Arizona, and Texas. We will have an up-date on those endeavors shortly. House Bill 2838, just so you’ll know, passed out of the Kansas Assembly 122-0 in late-March.

We’re on a roll.

Let me close this report by asking for your financial support. A Minor Consideration is no longer a small concern. Our interests are global. I would not have to ask if our mission had remained just caring for former kid stars down on their luck. We are into Prevention now. Our initial charter and mission statement remains in place. It’s the work that has changed. We are using the tools of the electronic generation to make contributions a bit easier for you. Your financial assistance is vital. We take no fees for any of our services. No one has yet to draw a salary. As our record of accomplishments grows you can be sure that we’ll put your money to good use.

Please go read A Minor Consideration.

Michael Moore has given teh Obamessiah™ sumthin’ he don’t want: His endorsement!!!

Seems like if you were sitting in the front row when haughty, French-looking Senator Jean Le Kerry reported for duty (hurl) in 2004, you’re likely to go for Barry H Obama.

Moore endorsed Obama in a 1,100-word posting on his Web site Monday. It includes praise for the Illinois senator and harsh words for Hillary Rodham Clinton, the Democratic Party and the Bush administration.

Obama’s disciples will undoubtedly be trying to crash the Moore server, hoping news of the great man’s endorsement doesn’t reach any typical white people, fearing the brown folks and clinging to their guns and bibles.

Moore goes on in his typically understated moderate style:

“What we are witnessing is not just a candidate but a profound, massive public movement for change,” Moore writes. “My endorsement is more for Obama The Movement than it is for Obama the candidate.”

The 54-year-old Oscar-winning filmmaker was hardly as kind to Clinton.

“Over the past two months, the actions and words of Hillary Clinton have gone from being merely disappointing to downright disgusting,” he writes, saying that she has tried to “smear” Obama, “Like you were nuts. Like you were a bigot stoking the fires of stupidity.”

Obama, The Movement™. Wow!! I’m thinking of joining this cult myself!!

But, talking of bigots stoking the fires of stupidity, Moore admits to the cause of his probable brain injuries, which undoubtedly lead to his political tourette’s syndrome:

“I, like the majority of Americans, have been pummeled senseless for eight long years,” he writes. “That’s why I will join millions of citizens and stagger into the voting booth come November, like a boxer in the 12th round, all bloodied and bruised with one eye swollen shut, looking for the only thing that matters - that big ’D’ on the ballot.”

The biggest ‘D’ should be on your hat, you unhinged hateful loser, if the actions of your government ‘pummel you senseless’ but you stay and take it.

Clinton repulsed me, but I never felt bloodied or bruised. Just a little grubby, itchy, and in need of a good shower.

Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes: Katie escaping the cult?!

A little change of pace for a moment

It looks like Katie Holmes is going to escape the death-grip of Tom Cruise!

Crushed by the weight of her marriage to Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes is striking out on her own — and she’s determined to take their daughter, Suri, with her to New York City. But insiders say that Tom’s having none of it.

In the new issue of Star — on newsstands now — we report on the latest at Camp Cruise. According to our sources, Katie, who was offered a role on Broadway, is trying to break away from her controlled life under the watchful eyes of her husband and move to Manhattan in what will be a sort of trial separation.

Crazy Tom’s not having any of that, though.

It is understood the couple’s tug of war over their daughter has intensified.

The news of a separation comes as TV star Jason Beghe who is reportedly friends with Cruise, has slammed the Church of Scientology in a rant released on YouTube.

Okay, you’re wondering why I’m wasting pixelspace on Tom Cruise? Fair question. The headline is google bait, sort of. Honestly, I wouldn’t bother with any other celebrity separation–that’s Agent Bedhead’s (Sadie’s) realm. She’s got more to say about Tom Cruise, but it’s not about Katie Holmes. It’s about that dangerous cult of his.

If you’re wondering why you should care about Scientology, it’s because you help subsidize them. They are tax-exempt, recognized as a “religion.” It is NOT a religion, it’s a money-making operation, a cult, but not a religion. Scientology kills, and they have the US government’s approval. (Thanks a lot, Clinton Administration!)

Here’s the Jason Beghe interview (plus backups) about Scientology that got Xenu.tv (one of the major Scientology critics, if not the primary one) banned from YouTube–banned because Scientologists reported him, just like the cyberjihadis get anti-terrorist videos and users banned. Same tactics.

Go read Agent Bedhead’s piece, and then go to youfoundthecard.com for a quick primer.

Brigitte Bardot charged with “inciting racial hatred” (again)

This is ridiculous.

Prosecutors asked that the Paris court hand the 73-year-old former sex symbol a two-month suspended prison sentence and fine her 15,000 euros ($23,760) for saying the Muslim community was “destroying our country and imposing its acts.”

Stupid Fwance. Those people consider themselves “liberal?” This is where we’re headed here, y’all, if the libs have their way. Criminalization of politically incorrect thought.

She has been fined four times for inciting racial hatred since 1997, at first 1,500 euros and most recently 5,000.

Prosecutor Anne de Fontette told the court she was seeking a tougher sentence than usual, adding: “I am a little tired of prosecuting Mrs Bardot.”

Tell me, what’s so inflammatory about what Bardot said? And how is that inciting “RACIAL hatred?” What race is a Muslim?

“I am fed up with being under the thumb of this population which is destroying us, destroying our country and imposing its acts,” the star of ‘And God created woman’ and ‘Contempt’ said.

Bardot has previously said France is being invaded by sheep-slaughtering Muslims and published a book attacking gays, immigrants and the unemployed, in which she also lamented the “Islamisation of France”.

Good thing Orianna Fallaci, Pim Fortuyn, Theo Van Gogh, Geert Wilders, etc. weren’t/aren’t from France. For that matter, I can imagine Pope Benedict XVI being prosecuted in France, if they’re that repressive.

This bit in Time is amazing:

…in 2004, another Bardot book, A Cry In the Silence, again took up the question of immigration and Islam — ultimately running afoul of anti-racism laws by generally associating Islam with the 9/11 terror attacks, and denouncing the “Islamization of France” by people she described as “invaders”.

O RLY? Mon dieu. Look, I get the European fear of racism and extremism, considering the history. But really, they’ve just exchanged one form of totalitarianism–the Nazis–with another, with this criminalization of free thought. This is why they end up with nasty neo-fascist groups and parties in Europe; it’s an overreaction to this absurd moral relativism and obsession with “political correctness.” Prosecuting a 71 year-old cultural icon for speaking her mind isn’t gonna help.

Nice to know Italy isn’t falling down this shithole of leftist intolerance, anyway.

spike lee to world: I was a credulous dupe. But not now.

In a moment of (probably thoughtless) candor, Spike Lee admits that he voted for a pair of people he recognizes as absolute liars. Twice.

The Clintons, man, they would lie on a stack of Bibles. Snipers? That’s not misspeaking; that’s some pure bulls***. I voted for Clinton twice, but that’s over with. These old black politicians say, “Ooh, Massuh Clinton was good to us, massuh hired a lot of us, massuh was good!”

But that’s all behind him!

I’m riding my man Obama. I think he’s a visionary. Actually, Barack told me the first date he took Michelle to was Do the Right Thing.

And one day Spike, you’ll realize that he ,too, was lying to you.

I’m not sure what’s more disturbing - that

A) Spike Lee is such an idiot that it took him ten years longer than everybody else to realize that the Clintons are disgusting lying filth, or

B) Given the facts evident from point A), that he keeps being asked for his opinion.

Robert Spencer On Jawa Radio

Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch, and author of The Truth About Muhammed, was kind enough to grace us schlubs with his presence.

Who’s Crazier: Tom Cruise or Britney Spears?

You just might be a nutcase if people think Britney Spears is more mentally balanced than you are.

Brad & Angelina kidnapped Madeleine McCann!

Or so says serial plaintiff, Jonathan Riches (gotta love the name):

Riches v. Pitt et al

Plaintiff Jonathan Lee Riches sued Defendants Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Maddox Jolie Pitt, Zahara Jolie Pitt, Shiloh Jolie Pitt, and Pax Jolie Pitt. Plaintiff alleged that Defendants Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie kidnapped Madeleine McCann in a major conspiracy plot to adopt her against her will, as part of a secret plot to take, kidnap and adopt a child from each of the 192 world wide countries. Plaintiff stated that he learned about the plot from his pen pal Billy Bob Thorton.

Why do I love the guy’s name? It might have something to do with the 80 trizillion lawsuits he’s filed, and this one isn’t even close to the silliest one. Look out, you might be next! (Even if you’re dead or…neither dead or alive!)

stein hoist Dumb Lawsuits

Don’t you dare question their patriotism

The actress Vanessa Redgrave, who I find hard to describe in language approved at this website, has paid half the bail surety for two Al Qaeda terrorists released from Gitmo.

Spain issued European arrest warrants for both men within hours of their arrival in Britain last night from the Cuban detention centre. Miss Redgrave said: “It is a profound honour and I am glad to be alive to be able to do this.”

She added: “Guantanamo Bay is a concentration camp. It is a disgrace that these men have been kept there all these years.”

Got that? It’s a concentration camp. You know, where people are taken in rail cars, starved and systematically exterminated. Except these two weren’t. And neither were any of the others. So it’s not really a concentration camp at all, is it Vanessa?

Her type of upper-class liberal nitwittery would be no more than mildly annoying, if it weren’t for the fact that in her haste to demonstrate her America-hating credentials, she’s unashamedly providing material support to a group of people dedicated to killing us all (including her, if she’d only think about it. Islamists are not exactly renowned for their commitment to many of the causes Redgrave holds dear, other than hating America).

There is no law against what she’s done here, and I suppose that’s a good thing, but on a moral level her behavior is nothing short of disgusting.

This should swing it

Dennis Kucinich is back in it!

Academy Award-winning actor Sean Penn endorsed Dennis Kucinich for president in San Francisco Friday.

Penn made what had been billed as a “major political statement” at San Francisco State University.

A major political statement? Moonbat endorses moonbat for President. Hardly major.

In August Penn met with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez for two hours.

In June of 2005 Penn visited Iran acting as a journalist for the San Francisco Chronicle.

It says something about Kucinich that he’d want the endorsement of a man who openly consorts with enemies of America.

An obsession continues

I don’t know why I care about this, but I do.

Amy Winehouse is up to her ears in trouble with drugs and alcohol. So who does she turn to for support?

Pete Doherty.

But scruffy Doherty, who looks in need of similar support following his well-documented troubles with drugs and the law, may be just the kind of friend Amy doesn’t need. The Babyshambles singer, a heroin addict, called on her at 4am yesterday carrying a guitar, shabbily dressed in jeans and bearing cuts and bruises on his face.

Good plan Amy. Get ‘help’ from a degenerate scuzzbag like Pete Doherty. My guess is he’s over there for the free drugs!

Earlier in the evening as she moved her possessions, she either did not know or care that she had left a plastic bag filled with a what looked like a white substance on display in the open boot of her car.

Why don’t these people ever get arrested? They openly flaunt their excessive drug use; is that not sufficiently compelling for the Po-lice to take an occasional look in the trunk of the car?

A spokesman for the singer said the bag contained make-up, but later changed his statement to say it was “a bag of small hand towels”.

Small, powdered, hand towels.

Can you imagine how much coke she’s got, if it can be passed off as a bag of towels?!?!?!

The girl with an octopus on her head

Amy Winehouse, who sports the most absurd hairstyle of any person evah, had checked into rehab after cancelling her disastrous tour, only to check back out again and go shopping.

For a chair.

She was seen sauntering into a newsagent to pick up some papers and magazines before emerging from a furniture store with a chair, which she dragged along a street with a friend.

Anybody think this chick has problems?

Her ignominious return to the stage at the MTV music awards in Munich before her tour saw her slurring her way through her track Back To Black, mumbling an acceptance speech and being helped off stage.

Last week, Winehouse sparked concern by appearing to snort a mystery substance during a live stage performance.

The troubled singer seemed to take a parcel from her bra and put it up towards her nostril.

She then veiled a silk scarf in front of her face for a few moments before agitatedly rubbing her nose.

I think the slurred MTV performance is totally rock ‘n’ roll, and doing the blow on stage? Wow! But this chick will be dead before she’s 30.

Check out this before and after comparison featuring Amy from 2004 and 2006.

Perhaps marrying a degenerate heroin addict and embarking on a year-long narco-binge weren’t such great ideas after all.

Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling proves me right, albeit accidentally right

Remember the Weblog Awards Voting Guide I posted the week before last, saying it was “VRWC approved?”

It looks like I was pretty on-target.
Then:

Best Celebrity Blogger: Eh, who cares. I’m voting for Curt Schilling, though, even though I’m SO not a Red Sox fan. Better a baseball player blog than some stupid celebritard blog, right? And actually, it’s a good blog.

Today:

McCain’s having a good day, and it’s not because of the fight with CNN, or the blogger call or the funny web game.

Nope. It’s because of Curt Schilling’s endorsement. Even this Yankees fan admires the guts to play through the bloody sock.

Yep. Count this White Sox and Cubs fan (yes, both teams) in among Schilling’s admirers, as well. (More proof he’s one of the good guys here.)

By the way, I was in on the Blogger Conference Call with McCain as well, but Jim Geraghty did a far better job summarizing it than I did so I’ll defer to him. I’ll just write some general thoughts about it later.
