Open Thread Tuesday

I'm sorry but shouldn't BH be above this sort of TMZ fodder?

Cameron may be a jerk. I know people who know him and like him and others (who worked for him) who don't. His film looks like some guilty liberal's dream. BUT these autograph seekers are all over Hollywood and are a slightly advanced version of pan handlers. So this guy just might have gotten what he deserved.

Yea.. I think I would rather have an autograph from someone talented. Like this guy.

Just remember this when one these hollow Hollywood narcissist tell you who to vote for in the next election cycle.

Based on how that doucherocket Sheen spent his Christmas, I'll bet he would've stabbed someone…..

And yet, there are so many other ways to say "no."

I've said "no" to many a panhandler, and have never employed profanity.

I don't think there is any question what Cameron is.

Does anyone else wish that Arnold would at least once in his life respect Americans enough to publically pronounce California, the state that elected him governer, like we do, instead of like an Austrian hick?

I don't think there's an Austrian/German equivalent to "Ingles Sin Barrios."

Cameron has had contempt for most of his "fans" for years, hence why he never wants to do sequels or follow ups to past projects like most of his fans have been asking for over 20 years.

Now the true story of Obama's press conference can finally be told:

GOLFOCALYPSE NOW!

Pray for those of us who remain to fight the good fight in California, sorry, Kolliefornia.

But he's such a good speaker. I mean, he talks so good and smooth and stuff. And…and…I mean, he's young and cool. And he isn't George Bush. Yeah, that's the ticket.

But it's a New Year dawning and apparently some people have set the alarm clock for "Wake Up, America!"

OK, I have to get this off my chest.

Like many of you here, I don't have the warmest feelings about Alec Baldwin (though he is very good on 30 Rock). Still, I asked a camera man "who is the nicest and most professional star you've ever worked for" and he said it was Alec Baldwin. Baldwin is very different behind the camera to those he works with.

Still don't like him much. But there. I feel better.

Another Nobel Prize is in order!

Maybe you should double check that one with his wife and his little pig of a daughter.

I want to like Alec Baldwin, I think he's a funny guy. But he just says the dumbest things. Just try getting through one of his HuffPo posts without shaking your head at the delusional left-wing nonsense.

If he stuck with acting and left the political stuff to the adults I'd have more respect for him. But he doesn't, and I don't. Hey wasn't he supposed to leave the country if Bush got elected 4 years ago? Put professional bullshit artist on his resume.

Probably with good reason…

Looks like someone forgot their meds. While it must suck to be famous, constantly hounded and carped at by the fans and paparazzi, with the cameras following every step, there should be a balance. Mr Cameron represents the contempt of Hollywood towards the hoi polloi. Quick to tell anyone to go f themselves, and bitch that they are misunderstood. Pathetic.

As to the Cutty Sark moment by Sen. Max, I'm upset that he didn't break into a showtune before heading to detox. It would have made his babbling that much more festive.

"unobtainium" has actually used by engineers in the real world since the 50's to refer to anything rare and hard to obtain–Cameron didn't make it up.

Are James Cameron's X's really going for all that much?

But in irony, not as an actual substance.

Yeah, he's tired from all that meeting and traveling and bowing and posturing. Good thing he hasn't actually done any work. Can you imagine how exhausting THAT would be for him?

Like all of those who are in the entertainment industry, i.e. Actors, Directors, etc., they are at the mercy of their fans; the fans are not at the mercy of them. Are these individuals entitled to their privacy, yes …. at home. In the public they are fair game to everyone, i.e. Fans requesting signatures, Paparazzi, etc. If they, Actors, Directors, etc., have a problem with that simply boycott them! Do not buy tickets to see them, Do not buy their concessions, ect.

Cameron is an IDIOT! Once he was scraping the bottom of the barrel begging people to watch his stuff probably even giving tickets away and now he has reached a level in his career that he can trash a few fans and no longer suffer. We BAD as consumers because we should band together as individuals who work hard for our money to pay to have these ignorant bastards entertain us and they treat us like that just for 10 seconds of thier day!

I see two possibilities, Sheen's either at the bar getting loaded and hitting on women.

Or else he's trying to save the world by finally getting the real truth about 9/11 out, that it was an inside job.

But I'm guessing more of the former, with a little bit of the later sprinkled in.

I'm with ScottDS on this one. We're really wasting time with this phoney TMZ generated crap? I feel dirty every time you guys trick me into clicking on a link to that site.

He may be the nicest person ever, but I don't care. I have no respect for anyone who assumes I'm an idiot because I don't share their beliefs.

The Democrap's reaction to the GOP's issue with "The Hawaiian Obama" reminds me of what we all learned after 9/11:

Elephants remember and jackasses forget!

At the risk of rousing ire, I hope people will tune into the Kennedy Center Honors tonight. (Obama will be there! Aaiiee!) The honorees are Robert DeNiro, Dave Brubeck, Mel Brooks, Bruce Springsteen and opera singer Grace Bumbry. I have enjoyed these shows for years–the quality of tribute performances is always amazing, the honorees are worthy, and it's generally more entertaining than all the rest of the award season put together.

Handling problems the Obama way
HONOLULU — There is a sense of déjà vu in the Obama administration’s response to the attempted terrorist attack on Christmas Day. A by-now familiar pattern has been established for dealing with unexpected problems.
First, White House aides downplay the notion that something may have gone wrong on their part. While staying out of the spotlight, the president conveys his efforts to address the situation and his feelings about it through administration officials. After a few days, the White House concedes on the issue, and perhaps Barack Obama even steps out to address it.

his intemperate comments are somewhat understandable…

There is no peace from paparazzi or autograph hounds, many of whom turn around and sell their prize signatures. No sympathy there. But Cameron is pretty much a tool, as most who know- or work with him- will attest.

Let's just say two fools met here…

lets say you give them the benefit of the doubt, why not just give an autograph and let it go? Instead Cameron proves what most actors have said about him. Hes a POS.

these people really love Obama..look at their faces…Jonestown? http://tinypic.com/r/309sxnt/6

actually three, Harvey Levin is one too.

No one has made more with less since Tiny Tim.

Gonna pass tonight thanks. Plenty of great entertainment available elsewhere.

I'm no fan of Cameron, but the hat and the videographer give this a-hole away, clearly an autograph hustler, not an innocent "fan". And the $15 an hour line…pathetic. Big Hollywood should be above this type of thing.

I wish Alec would shut his mouth re: politics too. But I got a "Schweddy Balls" shirt for Christmas and proudly wore it. The guy is funny…his work on SNL deserves it's own "Best of" if one doesn't already exist. But, seriously Alec, shut the pie hole and act. We really don't care what you think.

As for Cameron…he's a richard. But so is the autograph hound. They deserve each other.

A lot of these "fans" are actually celebrity autograph sellers. Despite Cameron being a jerk, I have to take his side on this.

He doesn't SEEM like an unlikeable guy, silly movies aside. All directors probably have big egos – otherwise they could never get anything done in Hollywood. And I love all the undersea stuff he's done. I don't know – in this case I think it's a tossup. Cameron may have been having a bad day. He WAS at the airport, after all. And fanboy was pushing it. I'd say it was two people being very human – and not in a good way.

I don't really care for Cameron but I'll have to side with you on this…

I cant imagine why anyone would want Cameron's autograph. He's a colorless clod.

And sometimes you don't want to interact with low life scuzz like the autograph seeker. Unrestrained, I would have punched him in the head just for the pleasure of seeing that fruity little hat come flying off. Just another airport pig.

Well, it's the Kennedy Center after all. I been there – I mean, they actually let me in without sneaking. Despite that, it's got class.

Yeah, but I hear he's going to the Army Navy basketball game.
