If elected president, Herman Cain is promising that you won’t find many Hollywood celebrities on the invite list for dinners at the White House. “My guest lists for state dinners and other important occasions will be light on A-list celebrities and heavy on normal Americans who work each day to restore our nation to greatness,” Cain promises in his book “This is Herman Cain,” which goes on sale Oct. 4. The autobiography tells of Cain’s rise to CEO of Godfather’s Pizza and president of the National Restaurant Association. But the GOP presidential candidate also goes into detail about how his...

5 Celebrities Who Were Targeted By Islamic Extremists (Besides David Letterman) Wednesday, August 17 by Jame Gumb When I first read the news that David Letterman was being targeted by Islamic Jihadists, I thought I must have been reading the satirical website, CelebJihad (NSFW). But sadly, the story was all too real. Apparently, the late-night talk-show host angered an Al-Qaeda affiliated website by mocking the death of reputed terrorist Ilyas Kashmiri. Granted, an “online jihadist” calling for Dave’s death probably means about as much as me calling for Scarlett Johansson to do a topless scene, but experts are still worried....

Tennessee born country music star Craig Morgan is famous not only for being a country music sensation but also for being a diehard outdoorsman whose hunting adventures are featured on the hit Outdoor Channel reality show All Access Outdoors. In addition to his hit TV show and six Top Ten singles, Morgan is also extremely proud of the fact that he is an army veteran. Morgan, who served ten years on active duty, holds Airborne, Jumpmaster, and Air Assault qualifications. In short, Morgan is an all-American success story. But recently he discovered that his biggest success was in teaching his...

Perhaps we need a new definition of the word racism because it is now bandied about in a frivolous manner by race baiters who've never undergone its scourge. All we need to do is look at the history of racism in this country particularly in the South to get a real perspective of the pain suffered by blacks during that dark period. Those who underwent that torment are for the most part deceased but their pain has been exploited by modern day race-baiting demagogues who've benefitted by the changes in our civil rights and in the hearts of most Americans....

(CNSNews.com) - Grammy award-winning singer Garth Brooks told CNSNews.com that he "fully" supports President Barack Obama and that it must be "hell" serving as President of the United States. Before his performance at the Points of Light Institute's ceremony honoring former President George H. W. Bush at the Kennedy Center on Monday, Brooks was asked if President Obama has lived up to his expectations. "Yeah, I think what President Obama is finding out is all that we want to do, the system kind of doesn't allow the most powerful guy in the world to kind of do his job and...

In a list of the year’s worst abuses against science, the Sense About Science (SAS) group debunked diet and exercise suggestions made by actors, pop stars and others “to help the celebrities realize where they are going wrong and to help the public make sense of celebrity claims.” It challenges such wisdom as reabsorbing sperm and wearing silicone bracelets to boost energy. Global warming? Well no, all real scientists agree that it puts us in mortal danger. People love celebrities and what they say. Want Lady Gaga’s wisdom on Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell? On the horrors of global warming and...

I pledge my allegiance to God, my country, the flag of the USA and not to one person!!!!

Although by no means complete, the following list provides the names of the most well-known celebrities to pass away in 2010. Adele Mara (actress, 'Sands of Iwo Jima') Andrew Koenig ('Boner' on 1980's sitcom 'Growing Pains', son of Walter Koenig of 'Star Trek' fame) Art Linkletter Barbara Billingsley Daryl Gates (former chief of the LAPD and radio host) Dave Fisher (founding member of singing group the Highwaymen) Dennis Hopper Dino De Laurentiis Dixie Carter Don Meredith Dorothy De Barba (little girl in 'Our Gang' series) Dorothy Provine Eddie Fisher Erich Segal (wrote 'Love Story') Fess Parker Gary Coleman George Steinbrenner...

"Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Ryan Seacrest and other celebrities have joined a new campaign called ‘The Digital Life Sacrifice’ on behalf of Keys' charity, ‘Keep a Child Alive.’ The celebrities plan to sign off of all social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter on Wednesday, which is ‘World AIDS Day.’ The celebrities will end their ‘Digital Life Sacrifice’ when the charity raises $1 million."

Castro DGIs (Directorio General de Intelligencia, trained and funded for decades by the Soviet KGB and East German STASI) recently stuck their fingers in their mouth and issued a sharp whistle of summons. Celebrity ears from New York to Hollywood immediately jerked up. Soon Castro's propaganda ministry was mobbed by eager American actors, rockers and folkies, their eyes wide, their tongues out and their tails wagging frantically. Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon, Benicio del Toro, Oliver Stone, Martin Sheen, Edward Asner, Pete Seeger, Ry Cooder, Bonnie Raitt, Chrissie Hynde, Graham Nash, Jackson Browne, Danny Glover were the A-listers among these cheeky...

Think "JFK bait" and you'll get the concept. And as any regular reader of The Camp of the Saints (an otherwise serious conservative New Media outlet) will tell you, he likes 'em with some curves. His features of 50s and 60s starlets run under the theme of The Don't Make 'em Like That Anymore are actually quite educational- I hadn't even heard of half of them, but many had an interesting part to play in the celebrity society of their day. And while this blog does not participate in the "Rule 5" babe-blogging/linkfests, many do... and Bob's posts are the...

Pretty interesting compilation. Maybe CBS thinks they are "outing" these celebs. Provides me a good list of people to support. Lots of tough guy actors, NASCAR drivers and country singers. Surprised to see Brittney Spears on the list. http://wcbstv.com/slideshows/Conservative.Celebrities.20.824701.html#

On screen, many of these celebrities entertain us—they make us laugh and make us cry. But when they turn political, what was once a fun, entertaining, and dare I say quasi-intelligent celebrity, turns into the most annoying, irritating dullards we’ve ever come across. Normally, their silly political beliefs would be cast aside—we wouldn’t even hear about them! But due to their celebrity, we’re forced to endure their stupidity. Here are eight celebrities, in descending order, whose fat mouths we can certainly do without. 8. Robert Redford Actor/director/eco-nutjob Robert Redford won’t admit it, but he’s happy with the BP oil leak...

My newest video is a bit of an experiment. It's a bit more social commentary than politics. I got the lighting right, though, so at least the color is much better than the previous one! Please do go see the video at Publiusforum.com...

From the AP - Woolard handled the night's toughest question, about Arizona's new immigration law. Woolard said she supports the law, which requires police enforcing another law to verify a person's immigration status if there's "reasonable suspicion" that the person is in the country illegally. She said she's against illegal immigration but is also against racial profiling. "I'm a huge believer in states' rights. I think that's what's so wonderful about America," Woolard said. "So I think it's perfectly fine for Arizona to create that law." "The Office" actor Oscar Nunez was booed as he asked the question and asked...

TUPELO — Green Day, former N'Sync member Lance Bass, and celebrity chef Cat Cora are among those helping to pay for a prom in Mississippi next month that's open to everyone but geared toward gay students. The American Humanist Association also will contribute $20,000 for the May 8 event in Tupelo. The annual prom is organized by the Mississippi Safe Schools Coalition. This year's event has drawn attention because of the case of Constance McMillen, a high school senior who challenged her school district's rule banning same-sex dates at proms. Coalition spokesman Matthew Sheffield says plans for the event haven't...

Nicolas Cage bid adieu to another mansion Wednesday -- after no one bid for it in a foreclosure auction. His Bel-Air, Calif., Tudor estate went on the block starting at $10.4 million, a measly sum given that the "National Treasure" star had asked for $35 million when he put it on the market, the Los Angeles Times said. But the complex attracted only a minute of silence on the steps of a courthouse in Pomona, Calif.. Not that anyone expected it would be gone in 60 seconds. One Realtor described its decor to the Times as "frat-house bordello." And back...
