I just grabbed the first link on Google and it didn’t hit me with Pop-Ups due to my Firefox/AdBlock. My apologies if it got you that way. The story itself was pretty big “news” for a week or so but Baldwin hate goes way further back than the daughter story.
I’ve no opinion of the guy. I just remembered the story.
Basically any proselytizing celebrity. Are you for or against a religion, political stance, health issue, organization, peanut butter or tampon? I don’t give a rodent’s rectum. STFU, go back to your mansion and prepare for your next performance. You are being paid to entertain me.
I don’t care if you are worried about the plight of the Peruvian Green-nosed Butt-humping Wombat. I really don’t want to know about how you are personally spoon feeding the starving orphaned Slobsylvanian children (and adopting 30 of them). If I wanted to know about the 4 million Americans suffering from Cranial Rectumitis then I will go to the organization’s site, not listen to you talking to Congress.
Celebrities who bore me with their speeches and posturing are shut off. No more Penn, Cruise, Sarandon, Robbins, Clooney, Streisand, O’Donnell, Heston, Jolie and so on. When they reach the level of saturation that I can’t watch the news without seeing something about their latest appearance at an anti or pro-whatever, then I tune them out.
I find that I have more time to read as the number of celebrities I boycott increases.
I run Firefox with Adblock at home too, but I was at the school library. The popups actually weren’t that bad, but it was irritating since I’m used to no-popups-ever. Anyway, yeah, he sounds like a dick, but it also sounds like most of the Baldwin hate was a preexisting loathing of a celebrity for daring to express a political opinion, maybe even obnoxiously–gasp! No one does that here on the Dope!–and the fact that he’s apparently not much of a father is a convenient thing to lay on top of that. Not that we should celebrate bad fathers, but I bet there are hundreds of them in Hollywood who are as bad or worse.
This makes me smile. 
Kudos!
I hate Sandra Bullock because she I’m sure she wouldn’t have sex with me. Not because she is a shit actress.
Oh, the British accent is attractive (as are its Australian and New Zealand relatives), and when i was younger I wanted to be British. I’m from South Jersey, so I’m no better able than you or Madge to pull off a proper British accent.
Do you also have problems with any authors who publicly proselytize for a particular cause?
Yup. I don’t hear Dickens ripping into Bush or Hemingway screaming about Jewish conspiracies.
Seriously, you don’t hear about fiction authors as much as singers and actors spouting their opinions about everything from acne to Zimbabwe.
Chris Tucker for defending Michael Jackson.
She’s not a shit actress. I like to think of her as the anti-Julia Roberts. Of course, maybe that’s because I hate Julia Roberts.
I remember finding some book about him in my local library in the early 90s. They showed paparazzi pictures of him in France in some park, still cruising for the jailbait and getting them to get off their bicycles and talk to him. Uberfuckincreepy. Your wife was killed by the Manson family, ok. That’s gotta take the steam out of anyone’s sails. Still, you’re a fuckin weirdo.
Speaking of creeps, I just remembered Peter Bogdanovich. Whenever he shows up as an actor I remember the whole Stratten sisters business and get skeeved out.
Agreed. Lars just loves to hear himself talk.
Many of my friends recommended their film Some Kind of Monster but when I watched it all I could think was, 'What a bunch of crybabies!"
Madonna drives me nuts because she thinks she’s still relevant.
I’ll have to pass. The fact that he’s in a movie, even if its a cameo will ruin it for me most of the time. Seriously, I really.do.hate. him.
Mickey Rourke: IRA funder.
Sean Astin.
Not sure why, but he just rubs me the wrong way. He does seem arrogant at times.
I dont like Mel Gibson basically because he’s creepy.
Actually she probably would have sex with you,I’ve had her myself plus all of her better looking female relatives and close friends.
Well, she’s trying really hard to be relevant, anyway. I used to relate to her religious statements, but when she gets to desperate to be edgy that she has to tie herself to a cross, well, honey, your ship has sailed…find a new schtick.
This seems like an appropriate thread to post the Tom Cruise Scientology video making the rounds…
