As is the case with all Lefty celebs, Sinead O’Connor’s merely an anti-Palin rant away from a comeback. Or she could rip up another photo of the Pope…

THR:

Sinead O’Connor has declared she will never again appear on Ireland’s very popular Late Late Show after a researcher for the program asked her a series of questions she found “rude, patronizing, insulting and disrespectful” and said “that since I suffer from depression do I not think its insane behaviour to be talking publicly about sex.”

The Irish singer grabbed international media attention with a blog post on her official site bemoaning her lack of a love life and urging a “sex-starved” man to contact her. She also threatened to do unseemly things to fruits and vegetables if her needs for a mate were not met.

In advance of her upcoming Friday appearance on Late Late Show, the world’s longest-running talk show by the same broadcaster, O’Connor published an open letter to host Ryan Tubridy in the Irish Sunday Independent further discussing her sexual needs. (A considerably dirtier version went up on her website).

The dream of every young filmmaker is to have one of their cinematic idols watch their work and respond positively. Nothing would make me happier than to get that praising phone call from Steven Spielberg (pre-”Munich” Spielberg of course). So imagine the slow creeping disappointment at the nether regions of my soul when I clicked on Andrew Klavan’s blog to see an article in which he disagrees with me.

Not merely a disagreement on the issues mind you. No, the article is specifically a response to my review of the film “Kick Ass.” Andrew Klavan disagrees with ME.

I admire and respect Andrew Klavan. He’s one of the writers who inspired me to not only push for a spot at Big Hollywood, but to out myself as the “dangerous right-wing nut job” that I am. After all, I figured, if he could brave the backlash from the industry, I too could certainly afford to lose a few gigs and a few dates. (more…)

Just when I thought I might run out of ideas for blog posts, I get a gift from God… Jane Fonda has started a blog in conjunction with her return to Broadway in “33 Variations!” The play, by Moisés Kaufman, sounds absolutely fascinating and when I first heard about Fonda’s casting I didn’t think I’d have much to write about since on the face of it the play doesn’t seem political. But now that her friends and fans seem to have talked Hanoi Jane into sharing her personal thoughts in a blog every day… Well, this is going to be a target rich environment! 

Jane says that she was in part inspired by none other than Rosie O’Donnell to do the blog and if her musings are anything like Rosie’s, let’s just say I owe that dame a big thank you hug for influencing Henry’s daughter (I don’t usually use the word ‘dame’, but I’m hoping it annoys Rosie if she ever reads this).
