NICOLE Kidman has made a public stand against terrorism.
The actress, joined by 84 other high-profile Hollywood stars, directors, studio bosses and media moguls, has taken out a powerfully-worded full page advertisement in today's Los Angeles Times newspaper.
It specifically targets "terrorist organisations" such as Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Palestine.
"We the undersigned are pained and devastated by the civilian casualties in Israel and Lebanon caused by terrorist actions initiated by terrorist organisations such as Hezbollah and Hamas," the ad reads.
"If we do not succeed in stopping terrorism around the world, chaos will rule and innocent people will continue to die.
"We need to support democratic societies and stop terrorism at all costs."
A who's who of Hollywood heavyweights joined Kidman on the ad.
The actors listed included: Michael Douglas, Dennis Hopper, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Danny De Vito, Don Johnson, James Woods, Kelly Preston, Patricia Heaton and William Hurt.
Directors Ridley Scott, Tony Scott, Michael Mann, Dick Donner and Sam Raimi also signed their names.
Other Hollywood powerplayers supporting the ad included Sumner Redstone, the chairman and majority owner of Paramount Pictures, and billionaire mogul, Haim Saban.

She was in a play about 8 years ago in London where she was fully nude. Unbelievable.

Is there a complete list of the names? I wonder if my friend, Jamie Masada (owner of the Laugh Factory) is on that list.

"Isn't Preston married to John Travolta?" Kind of like Tom Cruise is "married" to Katie Holmes.

Look at the money. Look at who funds Hollywood. Look at their spiraling viewership. This is an effort to stem the tide. Nothing more. I don't believe a word these people say outside of how it affects their own well being.Not only that, but I give credence to a cabal of actors about as much as I would give a convention of hairdressers. Their opinions mean nothing to me. They're a-c-t-o-r-s, for God's sake. They make their livings pretending.

Willis is a solid citizen, he walks the talk and does what he can for the troops.

James Woods James Woods is a genius. He was also on one of the 9/11 hijackers' dress rehearsal flights in August 2001, and reported to the flight crew that he thought the men were hijackers, based on their behavior.

Nice to see but how is this gonna help anything? It may change the opinions of the lemmings who really have no opinions other that those that they glean from hollywood morons and the MSM.
That's about it.

Maybe we'll start seeing movies showing terrorists as Muslims instead of white businessmen.

One of the cool things about watching old B&W WWII movies is the amazing fact that Hollywood was on OUR side back then.
It didn't seem amazing at the time because the whole country was on the same page.
If we could only recapture that same unity of purpose today.
