Hollywood Squares

So why is it again that people who ACT for a living get to voice their opinions about anything on God’s green Earth?  I mean, if I were interviewing a top “star”, I don’t think I would really care what they thought of Presidential candidates, except for when it pertained to the increase or decline of films that they could potentially star in.

Is it just because they are used to having a microphone shoved in their face, that we think their rehearsed voices sound intelligent?  I mean I’m a Huge George Michael fan, but I don’t give a CRAP what he thinks about politics – I just want to hear him sing ‘Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go’!

I understand that these multi-million-dollar-fetching thespians have loads of free time when they are not practicing their lines, visiting the casting couch, picking up hookers, blowing money on drugs, gambling, feeding an addiction not already listed here, cheating on their spouses (yes Utah Actors… I’m talking to YOU), writing a book about their parents, writing a book abut their children, writing a book about themselves, having plastic surgery, marrying Jennifer Lopez, having their picture taken, ignoring fans and refusing to sign autographs, firing their managers, making it with their nannies, or blogging – and that they probably spend that extra few seconds in the day to read up on the global state of affairs, form opinions and throw a script together.

I work on the computer for a living and spend literally hours reading current events and news, watching video of reports from all over the world, and listen to others talk about their own opinions.  I also listen to the news and watch local news occasionally before Frasier re-runs begin at 11:00PM.  But I am average Joe Schmoe.  Because I don’t have a few million, my opinion is worth less than theirs?  My opinions are less informed?

What is it that got me a little riled up?  This:

Not that I don’t understand how Matt Damon is a Liberal grease ball, no.  He’s the product of an income tax accountant and a college professor – who wouldn’t be a little palsy after that?  I just think his personal view on the matter is irrelevant.  Sure it makes fine entertaining news, but he still comes off as a douche bag loser.  I love most of his movies though!  Jason Bourne movies rock out loud!  And the Ocean’s movies… well they went down hill after #1, but they were still pretty kickin’.  He’s a decent action hero, he just should keep his script writing to the fictional arena.

Uh oh!  Pamela Anderson hates Sarah Palin!  Just one more reason to agree that the McCain VP pick was a good one.  What kind of ANYTHING has Pamela Anderson done to have a voice regarding ANYTHING other than how her hoo-hoo is as free and cracked as the Liberty Bell?  And she’s an animal activist?  Puh-leese! Pamela, where does that collagen come from that you are injecting into your aging Fonda-like body?  From cows!  A skinned cow.  You thought pork rinds are gross, try slopping cow skin over, under and inside your own dermis.  Ew!

I can’t believe she’s really an animal lover though.  With as many times as different dudes have clubbed that beaver of hers – you’d think her father was a taxidermist.

It goes both ways though, its not just the Liberal retreads that get my dander flying – there are quite a few big mouthed Republican bobble heads that make me want to cry.  Like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.  Please, can you both just shut the hell up?  Great attack dogs, seriously – but they inject themselves into too many things to make me think they aren’t just in it for themselves.

If I hear one more thing from an Oprah, Bono or Elton John… I think I might just go Good Will Hunting…

*** UPDATE ***

Oh look who’s decided to chime in!  Lindsay Lohan, queen of no-mistakes and good moral judgement doesn’t care for Sarah Palin either.  She balks that Sarah isn’t a celebrity and should stop posing for magazine covers – how many is Barak Obama posing for?  Thank God she’s no longer into dudes, and hopefully will not procreate.
