I starting watching the "Actors Studio" where the guy interviews a celebrity one-on-one for about an hour. I thought it was pretty good. Then I started to notice something. Most of the actors interviewed are dumb as stumps. If they talk about anything other than actually making a movie they can barely rub two thoughts together. Another thing is that they are acting during the interview. It is impossible for them to be themselves.

I now eschew all those shows and the idea of celebrating these people. Almost all of them (There are some exceptions) think that you and I adoring them is why they were put on this planet. I watch very few movies anymore and I never watch celebrity interviews or the adulation shows.

Robin Williams is the worst at "being himself". There is no self, just the next annoying gag. I can't stand to watch him speak.

I wouldn't mind if these celebrities spoke out with thought and intelligence, but they are indeed driftwood when off the subject of acting.

They're confused and disturbed self-serving individuals.....always play-acting.

If they had any brains they would be something other than actors. They also put on an act during an interview because their real selves are unattractive and they know it. I've also noticed that without the makeup, special lighting and trick photography how few of them are naturally physically attractive, as well. Ugly is as ugly does.

I would actually like to meet any of these people -- so that I could insult them. That I would enjoy.

A good book to read to Hollywood, Interrupted by Ebert and Breibart. It really cuts them down to size.

Very well put. Thank you.

Watched the Actor's Studio a couple of times. Lipton is so fawning that it is sickening. He was described by one TV critic as the world's greatest living gasbag! As for those who make appearances here, it usually coincides with their latest movie release and is therefore just another avenue of promotion. I used to like Costas' show on HBO, but recently he has had on Howard Dean (?!) and it has also degenerated into another plugola platform. (Aren't they all?)
