This was mentioned by John Boy's Mole (heh) in the Hugh Jackman thread, but I think it is appropriate for this thread as well:

My favorite story, that the loyal FTers will find familiar, is when asked about the pesky gay rumors, he replied, "at least they're not accusing me of something I'd be ashamed of..."

New Rule: Britney Spears and her husband have to name their new baby "Shithead." It's the redneck version of "Apple."
And while we're at it, stop bugging her about smoking. It's a little late to start worrying about the DNA when half of it is Kevin Federline's.

Sometimes... I really, really love Bill Maher.

I thought I'd resurrect this thread for Eminem's (spokesperson's) sake. On rumors that lesbian puppets in his new video resemble the Olsen twins:

“They’re puppets. People should also be concerned because there’s supposedly a puppet monster out there that eats nothing but cookies.”<br>

This is Morgan Freeman explaining why he agreed to do Batman Begins:

"I haven't been asked to play in any of the major blockbuster types of movie - Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, Star Wars, any of that. Alec Guinness, who was one of England's most admired and able character actors, played Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars. He said he made more money off that movie than he'd made in all the movies he'd made prior to that. So I thought okay, my shot."

Know why I like that? It is so refreshing to hear an actor come right out and admit they're doing a commercial film for the money. I've noticed lately a lot of actors claim they're doing it for their kids or future kids, or that they've always had a secret dream to be in a super-hero movie. I love it they he just said, "It's the money."

(Speaking of which - and I know this isn't the type of celeb we talk about here - just this morning they were interviewing the daughter of the guy who turns out to be Deep Throat from Watergate. She was the one who talked him into revealing himself. I was fully expecting her to give the reason that "The American people have a right to know" or "I wanted him to have a chance to tell his story." No, she pressured him into identifying himself because he'd make money that would put his grand-kids through college. She admitted this quite cheerfully and I just had to silently applaud her!)

I agree, at least when it's Morgan Freeman. I remember Harrison Ford saying the same thing years ago and it wasn't quite as charming. Somehow I wanted to hear that being Indiana Jones and Jack Ryan was fun and profitable.

As far as Deep Throat's family, I can't agree. Prodding your 91 year-old father who has had a stroke into revealing his identity so you can cash in is crass as hell.

That's messed up.

I wonder what his daughter will say after someone (probably one of Nixon's angry cronies) ensures Dad has a debilitating 'accident.'

[Deleted]

Eeek! I'd go back and delete that part of my post, but then nobody would understand what the following 3 posts were talking about! Let's just say, "Point taken." I guess I was admiring the daughter's honesty and not thinking at all about poor Throat!

"If Tom Cruise wants to see my play 'Chicago,' I've left him two tickets - one adult, one child."
