Sure, let them speak out. Then sit back and giggle when their movies/albums tank.

You would think that celebrities would take a clue from Johnny Carson and keep your political views quiet. From what I've heard, Carson was very liberal but he never let that show on his show and he lasted 29 years.

It's more like, "Can they keep their mouths shut?" Doubt it! Wanna bet on wno says the biggest whopper? I'm thinking it'll be Cherly "eat" Crowe!

They should be encouraged to express their views as often and as publicly as possible. Makes our work so much the easier!

[Antonello]

But it was not clear whether they or any of the other celebrities booked for Friday's event...will be permitted to freely express their opinions during the show or required to stick to the script.

That depends on whether the goal of this celebfest is to raise money for the hurricane victims or to be yet another 'Bush Bash'.

They are free to say anything they please, and people who don't like what they say are free to change the channel and ignore their fundraising efforts.

It just goes to show that any number of these cretins only want free publicity and a national soapbox. They don't care how many would-be donors they drive away with their blatherings, so they see no need to trouble themselves with pesky things like discretion, self-control, diplomacy, or good manners. Like Crazy Cindy, everything is ALL ABOUT THEM.

Haven't we all suffered enough?

Besides the others, Alicia Keys is known to have said, "When I see the American flag, I see a flag of lies." Great lineup. Not a dime.
