Celebrities

[Gatos]

People have nothing in common with these actors and actresses. Do you guys think they hurt the democratic party? I don't think people really respect them. (Yes I know Arnold got elected in California) I am talking about the rest of the nation

There were celebs on both sides so I doubt it made any difference.

Yes, but, the celebs on the Democratic side far outnumber those who spoke out for the Republicans. As far as hurting the Democratic party? I don't think so. If anything, they may have hurt themselves. I know a few people who have sworn off movies, etc. for certain celebs because of their affiliations.

Personally, it's pretty hard to take such a position and boycott such actors/acresses. After all, we would greatly limit our movie and music options with such a boycott.

Come on. the MAJORITY of OUTSPOKEN celebs were rooting for Kerry.

 

[Gatos]

not a boycott, just think they have absolutely nothing in common with the general population. They make ficitonal movies and try to promote what they see as the truth.

Yeah, Toby Keith and Alan Jackson represent America the same as Babs and Tim Robbins.

I think its because America sees "most" of our Entertainment industry as Immoral.....voting for Bush because he didn't have backing of a lot of the big "immoral" celebs.

And your forgetting....Toby Keith and Alan Jackson are in the heart of Jesus Land.

 

[shadowninja]

I don't think they really have an effect either way. If anything, it's negligible. Just extra people to speak your message I guess. Give people some credit, just because celebrities endorse products, it doesn't mean they'll pick something more important such as the President because a celebrity endorsed it. That goes both ways. If I don't like a particular celebrity, I'd be awfully ignorant to count a candidate out based on that.

Oh, that's right. I forgot. The GOP has a monopoly on morality. Gotcha.

Want to explain the likes of Swaggart, Bakker, Gingrich, Dole, etc. and their transgressions?

When Brad pitt was looking at stem cells through a Microscope...That was hilarious!!! I'm sure he knows how these work!!

Honeslty, it is very hard for me to side with any democrat stance knowing that I would think similarly to Streisand, O'Donnell and Baldwin. It makes me nauseous to even think that I would anything in common with those idiots.

You really think everyone in both parties think exactly the same? Give me a break your talking about the far left with those actors. Thats like saying everyone in the republican party agrees with Rush. Oh yea I forgot he brainwashed everyone in that party.

 

[Train]

I dunno, when I saw Ashton Kutcher on stage for Kerry, I damn near changed my vote! Now thats a guy you can trust! lol

He should do a punk'd episode with Kerry and Edwards, man that would be a riot.

 

[Mucker]

I can only pray that the celebs who said they'd leave the country will follow through on their actions. We can make a trade/deal with the French, our living blowhard celebs for the honorable soldiers who fell from WW2 and now lay buried there. Not much of a deal for the French, but at least we'd have true patriots occupying American soil.....

Republicans had celebrities like Arnold, while democrats had celebrities like Garofalo and Susan Sarandon and Penn ....

In my mind, celebrities helped the republicans more so than the democrats. I mean would you vote for Bush based on what Garofalfalfoao said?

 

[Gatos]

No becuase Garofalfalfoao is so far left its ridiculous. I think its interesting if you look at the roles of the people that support Kerry and Bush. Arnold is a protector or ace kicker in his movies, Ashton Kutcher is an...idiot, Sean Penn goes to iraq and says he knows so much about the country. These actors and actresses are so far to the left that most people don't agree with them?!?

 

[assemblage]

I think many hurt themselves. Some helped themselves.

 

[maddogchen]

I just ignore them. Like China endorsing Kerry or Russia endorsing Bush. Ignore.

Celeb 'voters' poll a fast one

So did they vote?
Or are they gonna die?

The early returns from Sean Combs' mega-hyped Citizen Change campaign suggested that reality television star Paris Hilton and rapper 50 Cent - who appeared in eye-catching posters modeling Combs' "VOTE OR DIE!" T-shirts to encourage voting - didn't make it to the polls yesterday. Another star, rapper Ludacris, did mail in an absentee ballot, according to his publicist.

But Lowdown's spot check of voting records in California, New York and Georgia - where Hilton, Curtis Jackson 3rd (aka 50 Cent) and Christopher Bridges (aka Ludacris), respectively, maintain residences - indicated that the three weren't even registered, let alone exercising their constitutional right.

Citizen Change official Alexis McGill yesterday said that short of bodily hauling celebrities to the polls, the group did everything it could: "Citizen Change contacted every celebrity's representative and was told by each and every one that the celebrities participating in our campaign were registered to vote."

A Citizen Change insider elaborated: "All the celebrities' managers confirmed that they were going to register if they hadn't already. We have to take the managers at their word. We have no business checking up on them - especially because none of the celebs got paid."

Hilton's PR rep, Gina Hoffman, had no comment yesterday, and 50 Cent's flack did not return detailed messages - though as a convicted felon and possibly not eligible, he might be off the hook.

Ludacris' publicist, Bianca Bianconi, said: "I just got off the phone with Ludacris, and he said he absolutely mailed his absentee ballot last week in Fulton County, Ga."

As for P. Diddy, he did a voting photo op yesterday morning at Robert F. Wagner Junior High School on the upper East Side.

i think they do, especially the really liberal ones. like that big nosed singer, last name streisand.
or that actor, last name baldwin. they get a lot more press, and people think this is how all liberals think.
