    The Internet is a divisive place full of angry people who like to argue in comments and on forums all day long. But I think there's one thing we can all agree on pretty universally: singer Chris Brown is history's greatest monster. I don't care how catchy "Forever" is, the guy's a weapons-grade asshole. Examples of this are well-documented. I bring you another one today: Brown, his stupid looking P-51 Lamborghini, and his entourage reportedly terrorized an older woman who was serving them at a Subway restaurant, according to What Would Tyler Durden Do. (God, that's a great name for...

    September 17th marks the one year anniversary of Occupy Wall Street. Last year when the protests broke out, we were slightly confused when a barrage of insanely rich celebrities had hypocritically thrown their support behind the movement. Occupy Wall Street’s slogan “We are the 99%” is derived from the idea that the protesters represent the difference in wealth that separates the top 1% of society from every other American citizen. Occupy has defined the top 1% of Americans as anyone who with an annual household income greater than $593,000. So why are multi-millionaire celebrities announcing their support to grab headlines?...

    Lynyrd Skynyrd frontman Johnny Van Zant is looking to make a new name for the band in Republican politics. “The singer recently lent his star power to Florida Republican Ted Yoho, who scored a surprise upset of Rep. Cliff Stearns in a congressional primary earlier this week. Van Zant is also supporting Mitt Romney’s presidential bid, and will be on hand at the Republican National Convention where the band is slated to perform alongside Trace Adkins and Kid Rock... “ “I did not vote for President Obama … His whole platform was change, change.

  • Hollywood bailing on President Obama and the Democratic National Convention

    Hollywood bailing on President Obama and the Democratic National Convention By Hollie McKay Published August 24, 2012 | FoxNews.com LOS ANGELES – President Obama recently praised Hollywood superstar George Clooney, calling him a “wonderful guy” and good friend. But even in the wake of the headline-grabbing compliments, a rep for the Oscar-winning actor confirmed he will not be attending the forthcoming Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Charlotte, North Carolina. And it seems the majority of Clooney's high-powered Hollywood counterparts are also passing on the 2012 convention – a far cry from 2008’s showdown in Denver, Colorado which attracted dozens of...

    When Katie Holmes filed for divorce from Tom Cruise, not only did she cause one of the biggest breakups in recent Hollywood history, she also created a panic among Scientologists. But Holmes isn't the first big-name celebrity to cause a stir in the church. The long list includes actresses, producers, and singers—some of whom have lashed out at the religion after their fallout. We've compiled the stars who once practiced the religion, those who have spoken out against the church, and those who considered following Scientology. Plus, see who considered joining the religion including Ricky Martin and the King of...

    President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama visited the home of actors Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick for a joint fundraising appearance on Thursday night, during which the president offered the gathered stars a rather frightening piece of flattery. The intimate dinner banked about $2 million, with 50 people paying $40,000 each. "Speaking in a dimly lighted, art-filled room, Obama told supporters they would play a critical role in an election that would determine a vision for the nation's future."You're the tie-breaker," he said. "You're the ultimate arbiter of which direction this country goes."Among the celebrities on hand to...

    NEW YORK (Reuters) - Talk about a venue change. Fresh from giving an economic speech in America's industrial Rust Belt, President Barack Obama headlined big-dollar campaign fundraisers at the home of "Sex and the City" actress Sarah Jessica Parker and in a landmark New York hotel. Obama has shaped his re-election message around appealing to middle-class voters, many of whom continue to struggle to find work and afford their homes years after economic recession hit. But the Democratic president, like his Republican opponent and candidates before them, is also targeting wealthy supporters to help fill his campaign coffers as he...
  • Obama's Marc Anthony Ad is Another Embarrassment for the Campaign

    COMMENTARY | Yet another celebrity advertisement for President Barack Obama was unveiled earlier this week. While Marc Anthony may be an attractive and accomplished singer, he likely does not have much in common with the typical Latino voter. Anthony's impassioned plea that Obama needs another term to continue "making progress" and that he "has our backs" during the video clip republished on The Blaze neglects to mention that Anthony himself has proven he cares little about the nation's debt. According to document excerpts published by the Washington Free Beacon, Anthony is a "tax-dodger" who owed more than $3 million back...

    December 21, 2011 (LiveAction.org) - Recently I wrote about five male celebrities I boycott for their pro-abortion views. Today, I’ll tell you about five famous men whose careers I can feel good about supporting, because they believe in and profess the sanctity of life. Keep in mind I may disagree with them on other issues. But because I believe abortion is the ultimate moral litmus test, if they recognize the evil of abortion, I know their moral compass is pointed in the right direction.

    Once upon a time, women were considered the "fairer sex," the "better half." Stewardesses were talented and beautiful. Wives were softer and gentler. Men fought for their honor. Feminism crushed all of that. It is a testimony to their movement that in today's post-feminist entertainment media, part of what makes television so corrosive and sour is just how piggish the women have become. The latest study from the Parents Television Council drives this concept home by going to the ugly center of pop culture: MTV "reality" programming. After studying entire seasons of four MTV shows, the PTC concludes: "Females talked...

  • $1.6 billion worth of stars support Occupy Wall Street

    Occupy Wall Street has drawn very public support from celebrities who are worth millions of dollars. The top 20 Stars for Occupy Wall Street have a combined net worth of $1,685,500,000, by my count, or as Warren “Tax Me More” Buffett likes to call it, 3% of my personal wealth. The disconnect between the personal wealth of these millionaires and their statements of standing with the “99%” is amusing. Consider Alec Baldwin, who protested filthy rich bankers after accepting millions for his commercial endorsement of Capital One Bank.
  • Are Celebrities Supporting Occupy Wall Street the Movement's Heroes, or Hypocrites?

    10/13/2011 10:51:36 AM PDT · by Mind Freed · 5 replies
    Kanye West visited Occupy Wall Street in a $355 Givenchy shirt topped with wearing gold grills and chains. Alec Baldwin claims he supports Occupy Wall Street, but makes big bucks starring in commercials for Capital One Bank. Numerous other celebrities who annually pull in multiples of the average American salary also say they sympathize with the plight of the so-called 99 percent. So are the stars who say they support the Occupy Wall Street movement some of the cause’s heroes, or are they hypocrites? Producer and hip hop mogul Russell Simmons, who brought West to the protests at Liberty Square/Zuccotti...
