From IMDB (posted in 2000):
He’s currently working on a show called Secondhand Lions with Michael Caine (isn’t it ironic that Caine beat him out for Best Supporting two years ago?).
How is he annoying, anyway? I mean, again I say, you have a right to your opinion, but I don’t find him to be so.
M&M…maybe, he’s been whack for awhile now. Y’all see his mom on the tube the other night. I think it runs in the family.
I see Eminem pulling a Robert Blake in a couple of decades.
After a few flops, Martin Lawrence will be back in the middle of the street, hallucinating and shouting his head off.
Ricky Martin will become the 21st century Norma Desmond.
Nah, I don’t think so. Check out the article on him in this Sunday’s New York Times Magazine (warning: you have to be registered to read): he’s re-invented himself (soon to star in Scorcese and Spielberg films!), and seems to have found some grounding. And I don’t see why people are suggesting Britney Spears/Christina Aguilera; stars like those are just headed for “E! True Hollywood Story” territory. Going “Jacko” is a singularly freakish road trip, for those who shy away from their enormous fame by retreating into their own bizarre world. Like Angelina Jolie, to the nth power.
I’ve said it before. Michael Jackson is so whacked out because it ISN’T Michael Jackson anymore.
With all his money and secret space technology he uploaded his mind into Justin Timberlake.
Justin Timberlake is what the original Michael Jackson always wanted to be. Now he is.
“Michael Jackson” is now just a barely sentient husk which will soon decay to dust because it no longer possesses a soul.
I gauretee Justin Timberlake will begin wearing Fedora’s and wingtips on a fulltime basis now. Mark my words.
Brittany Murphy seems a little nuts. She doesn’t have the overwhelming celebrity factor but I think she’s a candidate for the looney bin soon enough.
Whitney Houston… and Mariah Carrey seems to be well on her way…
Ya see, one of the things that made Jacko so wacko is his enormous celebrity and kow towing crew. You need some serious prima dona element in there and actually be big enough for your crazy demands to be met with ridiculous fanfare (that way you can at least be the next Liza Minelli, if not Jacko.)
And I think Shakira is this generation’s Charo (coochie-coochie-coo!)
Once he runs out of prequels, I can see George Lucas going off the deep end.
I just hate Haley Joel because of “The Sixth Sense” I guess. I just wanted to slap the little wimp. Sorry…Sorry I know that’s a horrible thing to say, but it’s just a knee jerk reaction to seeing him.
is Brittany Murphy the one who played Tai in “Clueless”?
Hehe. George Lucas as Jacko would be funny…but he seems too grounded. Look at all the merchandising and crap on the Star Wars movies.
Yeah, I’d have to agree with Charmian and say Mariah Carey. She’s a major primadonna, she’s already had a mental breakdown* (not that there’s anything wrong with that) which means she has some sort of mental/nervous/stress thing going on. Combine that with the ego feeding she gets from her people and fans on an hourly basis, and she seems to be careening down Wacko Jacko Ave. and not looking back.
*That mental breakdown came after that Glitter movie came out, IIRC, which was a huge flop and probably embarassed her to no end. One or two more ‘public humiliations’ like that-- either on record or film-- could send this pop diva into Neverland-esque seclusion IMHO.
Happy
Well, Helen Hunt slapped him in Pay It Forward, if that makes you feel better.
**
Yes.
I left out a 
For which part, though?
I thought he did that with “Howard the Duck”
The bit about HJO getting slapped.
Zoggie, I didn’t see it that way at all. The character was 9 years old, and everywhere he turned, he saw someone who had died violently, many of whom were very angry about this and willing to take it out on him. A lot of adults couldn’t handle that; I don’t see how Cole’s reaction was “wimpy”.
I’m only pursuing this because we are, after all, in Cafe Society, where people discuss things like “Why did Titanic make so much money?” or “Why do people scoff at Forrest Gump?” You’re not the first person I’ve heard refer to Haley as “annoying”, and I was just wondering what prompts people to say that.
Actually, I think it might just be the characters. Sixth Sense: poor little afflicted kid with psychic powers he’s too young to know how to harness—Pay It Forward: poor little naive kid who wants to help people and ends up getting his idealism beat out of him (permanently)—A.I: poor little robot kid who is programmed to love and gets discarded when his owners feel they’ve made an unwise purchase. So when you’re on a pedestal, you’re an easy target.
He’s not annoying. Some of the Harry Potter kids are annoying. Young Anakin Skywalker - annoying. But not HJO…
