“I ain’t with that. No. I didn’t give it any sanction. I think that my song’s too serious. It ain’t like it was ‘Beat It.’ Well, his record company asked for my permission. And I said no . But they did it anyway, I couldn’t stop them. So more power to him, I hope he sells a lot of records. Just stay away from me.”
Al has said “I wrote him a very sincere letter of apology, and I never heard anything back from him. And every now and then, I’ll read interviews where my name was brought up and he’s still pretty angry and bitter about it.”
But that may have been some time ago and things are in fact cool with Coolio now.
Capote and Gore Vidal also had a long running feud. Vidal sued him over some embellished tales (Capote was a pathological liar) and when he learned Capote was dead Vidal said “He finally made a good career move.”
Capote of course was eschewed by almost all of his friends when he wrote about them. Strangely, Dominick Dunne doesn’t even change the names and has gotten away with it.
Frank Oz directed The Score with Brando, Robert DiNiro, and Ed Norton. Brando hated Oz so much that they had to have DiNiro direct Brando’s scenes because Brando refused to have “Miss Piggy” direct him.
Others I have to ask-what scene in Braveheart was some gay guy tossed out of a window? I don’t remember that. Of course, Gibson also is very anti-BIRTH CONTROL. :rolleyes:
Speaking of Kirk Cameron, he and the girl who played his fiance, Julie something or other. It’s rumored, though not confirmed, that he was the reason she was fired-because she posed in Playboy, and he thought of course that she was heading straight for Hell.
Yeah, the guy’s a real jerk-he’s really big into the whole Left Behind movies. 'Nuff said.
Alan Thicke even told him off once, snarking that if Kirk felt Growing Pains was too blue, then he needed to go elsewhere. I mean, come on, he complained because he was in bed with a girl IN A PLAY ON STAGE!!! D’uh!!!
I thought it was Phillip that Fergie hated?
And why George Clooney and Bill O’Reilly? Of course, just one more reason to LOVE Clooney.
Edward I tosses his son’s lover from a castle window. It was done in such a way as to be comedic- “silly faggot! crowns are for men!”
In real life, Edward II was indeed gay and his lover probably should have been thrown out of a window- he ruled through Edward- but wasn’t the cartoon fop of the movie.
I was watching him on a religious program one night talking about Christ’s order to a man to sell all he had and give it to the poor. I wonder if Kirk’s done that? That seemed like a rather expensive outfit he had on.
I hate it when celebrities pick up a cause (religious, political, etc.), read three pages of a Cliff’s Notes, and decide they’ve earned a Ph.D. in the subject.
I don’t have any citation for this, but I’d heard that Burt Reynolds absolutely hated (still hates?) Marlon Brando. Reynolds had been Coppola’s pick for the role of Sonny Corleone in The Godfather, but Brando had insisted on James Caan. Reynolds had hoped this would be his big break out of the football/good ol’ boy rut he’d been in, but instead he ended up stuck doing Smoky and the Bandit and Stoker Ace-type crap for the next dozen years.
If it were true, the ill-will certainly sounds justified. Anybody know for sure?
Victoria Jackson and Jan Hooks. And neither of them really likes Nora Dunn. This shocked me when I read it in Live from New York.
The female cast and writers on the original cast of SNL had huge schisms as well; the ones who were cutting it professionally felt little solidarity/sisterhood for the ones who weren’t.
And the most despised (by the cast) guest hosts? Steven Seagal, Robert Blake, and… Chevy Chase.
Bono and Henry Rollins. Rollins constantly trashes U2’s music, saying it’s recycled crap. Anyone remember the movie Johnny Mnemonic with Keanu Reeves? Well, it turns out that was supposed to Bono’s acting debut, but the casting department decided that three musicians in one film (Ice-T, Bono, Rollins) was a recipe for disaster, plus the fact that Rollins hates U2 only encouraged them to go with Reeves. The funny thing is it was a disaster anyway, and Reeves is now a musician: he plays bass guitar.
Keef made a comment that EJ has recently made a career out of tributes for dead blondes (Princess Di and Marilyn Monroe with “Candle in the Wind”) and EJ in turn shot back that Keef looks like a old, wretched monkey on stage. Words to that effect anyway. I think it goes back further…EJ played onstage with the Stones in Fort Collins, Co back in 75’ and apparently had difficulty leaving the spotlight.
Around 1997 or 1998, when she was still relatively new on the scene, Jennifer Lopez was interviewed by Movieline magazine. In the interview, she blasted Paltrow, Winona Ryder, Madonna, and others by saying she didn’t understand their appeal and wondered why Hollywood kept casting them in movies. Since then, Lopez has backed away from those comments by using the old “I was misquoted” excuse. However, I wouldn’t expect any movies starring both Lopez and Paltrow to arrive at your multiplex anytime soon.
