Stars to boycott Trump Toronto Hotel during film festival
NY Post ^ | September 4, 2015 | Ian Mohr

Posted on 09/04/2015 7:43:05 PM PDT by conservative98

sources headed to the Toronto International Film Festival tell Page Six that some stars may boycott his branded Trump Toronto Hotel, which was buzzing with starry activity just a year ago.

“No one’s staying at the Trump” this year, sniffed one showbiz vet. “People are not going back. Talent does not want to stay there. It’s like the Beverly Hills Hotel.”

A Weinstein rep told us of its move: “It was simply based on convenience and logistics” rather than “anything to do with Mr. Trump’s politics.” Harvey Weinstein has joked to the Hollywood Reporter that his liberal mom is a Trump fan, and “[Brother] Bob and I are in court trying to abrogate being [our] mother’s sons.” A source said ­Focus’ move is also logistical, while some companies, like the über-hip A24 Films, are returning.

Salma Hayek last year was at a private lunch at Trump Toronto after promoting animated film “The Prophet.” She’s since said of Trump’s stance on Mexican immigration: “Everybody’s entitled to be dumb.” Other critics include Eva Longoria, Marc Anthony, Neil Young and Aaron Paul.

Then again, “No Escape” star Owen Wilson said of Trump: “You can’t help but get a kick out of him . . . We’re so used to politicians on both sides sounding like actors at press junkets . . . Here’s somebody who’s not following that script.” Trump’s also been praised by Mark Cuban, Gene Simmons and Charlie Sheen.

A hotel rep wouldn’t say who will be there due to “guest confidentiality.” A source said, “Trump Toronto is looking forward to another busy and productive week. The hotel will play host to numerous high-profile events. It is always an honor to be an active part of the culture of Toronto.”

Talent does not want to stay there.

Talent? I thought they were talking about actors.

Worthless nonsense from worthless humans who would like to dictate society’s morality. Hogwash.

The headline is a lie. It says the decision was due to logistics. And, I haven’t heard of some of these so-called talents. Trump said he has received numerous phone calls from Hollywood talent who told him they support him, but to never use their names because they would be blacklisted. What a communist state Hollywood must be.

Yet another fringe lunatic liberal elite boycott.

If I were Trump I’d fly 100 people from Mexico to Toronto and give them free rooms and tickets, and just sit back and enjoy the fun.

The Hollywood biggies LOATHE Trump..?

Man, oh man, that will make me like him more more than any thing I could dream up.

It’s like they’re ASKING me to volunteer for Trump, or something.

And remember:

Anyone who raises a hand to him later suffers for it —GOOD.

There’s some magic fleece hoving over our guy and I think it’s going to keep going just like this.

Hotels are scattered throughout the downtown area and certain ones attract the glitterati. The Hazelton when it opened was the number 1 hotel for that set but others do attract their share. The Trump being one of them along with the Ritz Carlton, Shangri-La and the Soho Metropolitan.

I think people already are not paying for movies. TV is better and i would not go and sit in a movie theater now if you paid me. Can’t remember the last movie I saw that I actually enjoyed and felt was worth the price of admission.
