What happened is he got in trouble with the IRS and now has to take every crappy role that comes his way to pay off the debt.
There was a little girl singing on AGT last night. Her parents were such fans her name is Celine and her little sister’s name is Dion. I cannot think of any celebrity I like that much to do something like that. I wil second you on the Olsen twins.
God, it just gets more depressing.
Damn. I completely forgot that DiCaprio was IN Gangs of New York.
Not just the IRS - he made many, many, poor financial decisions. Including buying a dinosaur skull for more than $250,000 and having to return it because it was sold illegally. Now he’s got to find a paycheck, any paycheck, to pay off debt and make ends meet.

BIGGER THAN LIFE is a notably uncomfortable movie to watch, it’s true. But Mason’s performance – a likable Midwestern high school teacher Everyman schlub turns into a fucking monster – scared the hell out of me. And I never would have believed that Walter Matthau was ever that young.
LOLITA! Thank you, I knew there was another post-'50s movie I loved Mason in. I loved Peter Sellers even more in that one.
Oh, no. No no no. Because we she finally meets me, she’ll be utterly smitten by me.
Other than that creepy-married-old-man defence of her acting, she did a good performance in *Made in Dagenham *(a musical in London). We should not judge her desire for filthy lucre for appearing in Hansel and Gretel, Prince of Persia, nor Clash of the Titans. (I have not seen Gemma Bovery.)
Current celebrities: the Kardashians. Although the more I think of it, not being able to stand them strikes me as quite rational.
For 30-40 years now I’ve had an irrational hatred of Jack Nicholson. Even looking at his photo sets my teeth on edge. According to a quote on wikipedia he’s “the most beloved of stars”, and maybe he’s lovely in person–but I still can’t stand him.
She’s also apparently an awful person IRL but that reminds me of something. I don’t dislike Dustin Hoffman, but sometimes he’s unbearable in things, and he’s at his worst in the Meet the Parents films. I wanted to reach through the screen and punch him. 3/4 of the grandparents are awful people in that, and the 4th raised the annoying Gwyneth Paltrow, so she’s on notice.
It’s not a matter of comfort level, it’s a matter of James Mason. I doubt Bigger Than Life is more uncomfortable to watch than Auto Focus or Happiness, and I liked Auto Focus enough to buy a copy for myself. It’s James Mason’s air of superiority that turns my tum. Which is a shame, because it looks like Bigger Than Life would be a good movie. But which actor is that I hate irrationally? It’s James Mason.
The bastard.
A long and detailed article about Scientology and celebrities:
“In 1955, a year after the church’s founding, an affiliated publication urged Scientologists to cultivate celebrities: “It is obvious what would happen to Scientology if prime communicators benefitting from it would mention it.” At the end of the sixties, the church established its first Celebrity Centre, in Hollywood. (There are now satellites in Paris, Vienna, Düsseldorf, Munich, Florence, London, New York, Las Vegas, and Nashville.) Over the next decade, Scientology became a potent force in Hollywood.”
Ha, found one! I hate Beck because when his first big album came out, for the longest time I kept thinking people mentioning his name would be talking about Jeff Beck, but of course I’d listen and they never were.
I hate Paris Hilton because her head is too big, and she only has one facial expression. And because, despite that, I still have a crush on her, and I don’t want to.

Maybe she’s better on stage, but I watched Prince of Persia and thought that while Jake Gyllenhall was way too good for such a crappy film, Arterton wasn’t even up to its B-movie quality standard. Emote, woman!
Caitlyn Jenner, absolutely loathe every single thing about her. I liked Bruce well enough back in his olympic days, but his evolution into the Kardashian mess made my teeth clench whenever he appeared.
Back in 2000, I deeply resented the fact that they cast some tall prettyboy to play Wolverine. Today, I still can’t bring myself to like Hugh Jackman who appears to be the world’s nicest man.
Yeah, read that when it came out. I also just finished Wright’s expansive book, GOING CLEAR, which a friend recommended. If only Jack Parsons had lived, he could have battled L. Ron Hubbard’s evil with his magickal powers!
Currently reading WORMWOOD STAR, a biography of Marjorie Cameron, another player in that astonishing saga of Pasadena warlocks, rocket scientists, artists, and conmen.
I’m getting old I guess, I don’t even recognize a lot of the people mentioned.
Telly Savalas
Barbara Stanwyck
Dionne Warwick
Melanie Griffith
Others mentioned that while I can’t say I *hated * them but I sure never understood the love,
Mary Tyler Moore
Michael Douglas
Tom Cruise
Cite?
All of my hatred is rational.
If you need a reason, he’s a Scientologist.
