Ellen Barkin lashes out at Fox News in a recent interview, accusing the network of "blatant lying."
The outspoken Barkin has a reputation for candor, whether in person or on her Twitter account, and her take on the News Corp. entity is no exception.
She tells the Los Angeles Times magazine, "Well, were experiencing divisiveness in terms of our politics. Like, the Religious Right has identified themselves because of the propagandizing and illiteracy of...I dont know...News Corp, maybe?
"They have identified themselves with this extremist, right-wing insurgency of a partythis Tea Party. They call it a grassroots movement. Grassroots? Youre attached to the wrong ship. And that just shows you the enormousand dont misquote me here!the enormous success that has killed us in terms of Fox News."
Barkin then attacks the channel for lacking journalistic integrity, "The blatant lying that passes itself off as journalism. I dont even need to get there to go mental. Can you imagine a legitimate newsperson -- Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw -- just lying on the news? Let alone the entertainment factor -- you know, news as entertainment."

Is there anything celebrities don’t know? Except that alcohol and prescription pills don’t mix?
One of my favorite Ellen Barkin movies was ‘Switch’ 1991,
with Jimmy Smits and Jo Beth Williams

Storyline:
Steve Brooks is a sexist and the prototype macho. Unfortunately one day he is killed by one of his girlfriends. In heaven, though, there is no place for men like him and he is sent back to earth in the body of a woman so that he can see how women are treated by men like the one he once was.
Another was ‘Sea of Love’ with Al Pacino.
I detest her politics but I like her movies.
.
I guess I need to stop my son from reading the “comments” column over my shoulder. Thanx.
she WAS naked..but it always sort of looked like her face was off center somehow
She fleeced her ex=husband Ron Pearlman of millions with the finesse of a hooker fleecing a sailor on weekend leave.
____________________
You forgot to mention that her husband is worth today 11 billion and she only got around 4 million- and that was from a production company they both owned.
He was also a serial adulterer thrice divorced.
He was also about 20- 30 years older than she.
She deserved what she got for putting up with the old fart.
(Again, don’t agree with her politics, but have to be fair.)
.
She is 57. How many women do you know who look that good at 57?
Recent A movies:
2009 Brooklyn’s Finest with Richard Gere
2007 Ocean’s Thirteen with Brad Pitt and George Clooney
1998 Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
1996 The Fan with Robert DeNiro
1999 Drop Dead Gorgeous
And she’s still making movies- two in 2011, four in 2010.
Again, I despise her politics, but let’s be fair here.
The lady is still attractive at 57.
She’s had a great career and is still going strong.

Gibberish.....
WHO and WHY SHOULD I CARE???
Good Points :)
PS How’s baby doing??
Thank you.
He’s doing good. :)
Click on my profile. Go to the very bottom. The lady with the red folder in her hands is almost 64.
Ellen Barkin has been married to both Gabriel Bryne and Ron Perlman. She received millions in jewelry from Perlman in the divorce, but that marriage was quite an odd one.
She has a smoldering sex appeal and is quite a decent actress.
It’s a shame when people in the entertainment industry decide to open up their mouths and alienate half their audience. But then again, they are just people who put on makeup, read words that other people wrote, and pretend to be someone else.
Oh well, such is life.
She’s pretty.
Thanks. She is my cousin I met in church a few years ago. We had no clue we were related. She was talking to a fellow member, stated her absence for a couple of weekends and then mentioned her mother’s maiden name.
Really? How surprized you both must have been!
Some women are fortunate to have good genes, and apparently she is one of them.
Late to this thread, but wanted to add: She only signed up on twitter within the last few weeks. I looked at her TL when she first started tweeting, and she was drunk-rambling with nearly every tweet having the ‘f’ word in it, often more than once.
She was loving how so many people were her “friends”, instantly.
You just know a lot of hollywood types wouldn’t be happy with fans lecturing them on how to “act”. Tired of being lectured by them on how to think.
