Hilary Swank

[Deleted]

I vehemently disliked her in Karate Kid Part 4.

After watching Night of the Museum II and Julia/Julia.....I think that Amy Adams should have been Amelia in this movie. That would have been a movie I would have paid to see. That being said, Amelia is getting lukewarm reviews and I doubt it's going to make much at the box office; so I think it's safe to say that Hilary will not be winning a third Oscar. (At least not for this movie anyway.......knocks on wood)

Paid to party with a despot.[/color]

When she got called on it, the requisite apology was issued:

In response to reporters' queries, Swank last week issued a statement similar to Carey's: ''I deeply regret attending this event. If I had a full understanding of what this event was apparently intended to be, I would never have gone.'' A spokesperson for Swank said that before the event the actress was not aware of Kadyrov's alleged role in extrajudicial executions and disappearances in Chechnya.

Hope you enjoy spending your blood money, Hilary!

What an idiot! And like she's really hurting for money that badly.

I read that a human rights organisation sent her information about Kadyrov before the party, so she did know or one of her people knew. I think she is a total shit.

She must be really really dense or uninformed to get away with claiming she knew nothing about this guy. Does she not watch the news ever? I can't believe none or her "people" thought it would be a bad idea.

She might be hurting for money. She doesn't have any movies in production now and her last 8 movies bombed. She also got divorced during her earning peak, which I am sure cost her a pretty penny.

That said, she is a tool for taking money from this guy.

Blame her boyfriend/manager. Between not a lot of roles for her and him no doubt shelling out serious ducats to his ex wife and kids since he shacked up with Swank for a year or so before filing for divorce they aren't on food stamps, but they don't make any top earner lists either. She's hitting that age that where roles are drying up. Ten years ago she knocked it out of the park playing real life backwoodsy boyish characters who die. Everything else she has done is surprisingly unremarkable. I saw Conviction the other day. Holy bad acting, batman!
