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.
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
Somebody should have told Michael Jackson's family that they could have saved a lot on that funeral if they'd just gone to Costco for the coffin. #dinalohan
@sybann: Being gay herself, shouldn't Rosie know what a dick move outing someone is? Or implying that they should be outed, incoherently, in a meandering and backhanded way. #dinalohan
I don't...really see the problem with what Kristen Stewart said. If you look at the actual quote, she's just saying that she doesn't want to be a movie star like Angelina Jolie. One who's chased by the paparazzi and hounded by gossip magazines constantly.
Personally, I wouldn't want that either. #dinalohan
@Ratinski: That's the message I picked up too. Although to be honest, she is probably chased as much as Angelina is these days. Particularly as she is/isn't part of a celebrity couple. #dinalohan
@cuteasabutton: Yeah, which is probably part of why she's going do not want now, honestly. She knows in part what it's like and it's not what she wants for her life. #dinalohan
I get what Woody is saying, but I don't necessarily want our president to be making decisions in a vacuum. I want people around him to help him make decisions-- I don't think that makes him a puppet. Of course, it depends on who is around him and who he chooses to listen to, but I think it is the president's job to listen to the powerful people around him and then make his decisions based on their input. I don't want any more "I'm the decider" moments. #dinalohan
@Sputnik_Sweetheart: agreed. but i think those im the decider moments were heavily influecned/colored by our friends carl rove and dick cheney... #dinalohan
@rd2uk: I tend to think of Bush as the worst of both worlds. On one hand, he was listening to powerful people like Rove, Cheney, and Rumsfeld, and the other hand, he was making decisions without listening to the credible voices around him. The way he handled the wars, for example, was to do the exact opposite of what many in the military community (who were powerful and high-ranking) had advised. I think Bush is a good example of filtering out the credible advice and not listening to the right people.
I don't know if that makes sense at all. It makes sense in my head, I swear. #dinalohan
@Sputnik_Sweetheart: you speak the truth. i kind of see bush as having been a scared little boy, who either did exactly what he was told, or lashed out and did whatever the f he felt like in order to assert his own independence/authority. bah #dinalohan
so you mean kristen stewart doesnt want to be like angelina jolie, who is a highly award winning (academy and golden globes?) actress, who also happens to be one of the highest paid and philanthropic women in hollywood? hmm? #dinalohan
I wouldn't play scenes standing on a bucket either, Sigourney. Have you ever tried to stand on one of those things? They're notoriously unstable. #dinalohan
@JennaW: I have always liked our own no nonsense Princess Anne. She not only had a heavy goods vehicle driving license, but is also on record as saying that she would be happy to become a long distance lorry driver, if she ever had to give up the day job. #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

I doubt Ms. Jolie cares what, Rosie Megan Fox or Kristen Stewart think of her.
The day Megan does anything even close to "Gia" I might start paying attention to her acting skills. #dinalohan
