Woody Harrelson, you're an actor. You're paid to speak lines written by others. I don't need to hear your, or any other actor's, thoughts on politics ever again. Even if I happen to agree with them. #dinalohan
@ihateyourescalade: Why? He's as much of a citizen as you or I, and his views are actually well-thought out. He's allowed to have an opinion about deeper things than the label on his clothes or the latest celebutard antics. I understand getting annoyed when people spout off ignorantly, but I don't get the mindset that being an actor means you don't get to talk about anything serious. #dinalohan
@Hooplehead is hamthrax's bitch: Of course he's a citizen, and of course he's allowed to have an opinion. But I don't like that celebrities routinely use their fame to sound off on important topics, when regular citizens (like you, for instance) don't get the same bully pulpit. It often seems the only qualification for being an "expert" in anything--whether politics, the economy, global hunger, cures for cancer, or anything else important--is that you appear on "The Hills" or whatever. Yes, Harrelson is more thoughtful and better-informed than most celebutards, but any random Jezebel commentator is probably even more thoughtful and better-informed than he is. And we get bupkus. #dinalohan
@ihateyourescalade: Well of course everyone should listen to us 24/7.
That goes without saying. But we, unfortunately, don't have movies to promote.
I disagree that they are all lauded as experts, though. They have a pulpit, but not necessarily the credibility to back it up. (Looking at you, Jenny McCarthy!) In Woody's case, I'm less annoyed than I'd be if say, Sean Penn were spouting off. About anything, however worthy. Woody's always been a crunchy hippie kind of guy, so him being into politics doesn't surprise me.
As long as they're well informed about their issues and not sanctimonious twits, trotting off to co-sign leaders and situations whose implications they don't seem to entirely understand, I'm OK with slebs sounding off on what interests them. It brings visibility, and often donations, to issues that might not be brought to people's notice otherwise. But I could see how that would bug you.
@SerenityNow: If a survey said it was a friendly place then there's no way there could ever be an incidence of racism! Similar to how no one at one of those "Best Companies for Mothers" has ever faced any kind of discrimination or unfair treatment. #dinalohan
Robert Pattinson, maybe you should shit your pants and not change them for a couple days and then see if your crazed fans still care. Your hygiene is the ultimate nonissue. #dinalohan
FYI Not her biggest fan but still sad: I woke up to headline news, and the last item was that Céline Dion is no longer pregnant. And yes, I'm in Montréal, so that news item does conclude a segment of Who-Died-Of-Swine-Flu, Who-Embezzled-Bazillions, Who's-Corrupted-At-City-Hall. #dinalohan
@iquenique: Oh, that is sad. I remember when she was on Oprah and said she had a frozen embryo left over (horrible wording, but I'm at a loss for alternatives here) from her first go-round with fertility treatments and that when she finished with her Vegas run it was important for her, as a mother, to implant it and give it a chance. I think she called it "bringing the child to the light." As I'm retyping it it sounds hokey, but it was actually very sweet and moving. #dinalohan
That University of Exeter statement is annoying. What does it matter what surveys have said if an actual person is saying that he was treated badly? #dinalohan
@ronniedobbs: No kidding. And how do they even know what he experienced? Was the secretary following him around and documenting his every move? #dinalohan
@ronniedobbs: Yeah, what the hell kind of logic is that? "Because our student body does not self-report any racism, we can make the sweeping generalization that there is no racism whatsoever on our campus"? #dinalohan
I just don't understand... isn't it illegal to record phone conversations w/out permission? Can't they do something to throw that icky DB back in jail? #dinalohan
@thebestofjillhives: First of all, my understanding is that these are phone messages so the recording was with their permission (or they wouldn't have left a message). But as to recording w/o permission that depends on the state and I don't know the law for California or for where ever ML may have been. But I agree it seems like there should be some legal avenue available to them. I never thought I would feel so sorry for Dina or Lindsey or Alli. #dinalohan
@thebestofjillhives: I'm 100 percent certain that if what he was doing was illegal Lindsay or Dina would have done everything they could have legally done against him. And to be honest, I wouldn't blame them. #dinalohan
@A-girl: Ahhh.. phone messages. I assumed they were actual conversations.
It seems so Orwellian that a state would allow recording w/ out permission of all parties involved, much less release them to the media w/out permission.
Then again, I wasn't shouting the O word when it was Rod Blagojevich who was recorded w/out permission.
I guess I have selective civil liberty issues. #dinalohan
@A-girl: It's not legal to record conversations without permission in CA (except in limited circumstances). But yeah, if they are actually voicemails or messages that is probably different. #dinalohan

Wow Fergie. You needed the paid assistance of a therapist to recognize that one? Women are real human beings too you know!
I tried to use that excuse to justify to myself my cheating high school boyfriend with one of my best friends. Even then I knew it was bullshit.
The thought of Fergie with anyone in a sexual way is repugnant. #dinalohan
