I just love it to death...man, now as i'm reading what i'm writing, it kinda scares me that at least 90 million Americans think like those actors/musicians/whatevers...
You do understand how these 'star-studded extravaganzas' work, don't you?
It is just like the blue collar unions.
The bigwigs sell their influence to the politician, who pay them back with favors once elected.
The 'stars' are so because they must attend and kick in the 'fee', or they are blackballed.
Only those 'stars' that have some other means of getting a 'part' (like Mel) can afford to ignore the call of FAG.
Those whose career is on a downslide are the ones the usually become the most exuberant and vocal supporters of the current 'hollywood' favorite. (like Obama or Clinton).
That's because they hope to curry favor with the bigwigs and gain some publicity in the process of helping influence those that adored them in the past and believed that the actor was the 'part'. (Yeah. Too bad Superman ended up quadraplegic. He could have solved the Iraq mess single handedly if he hadn't gotten injured.)
Bottom line. Attendee's at this event = I'm looking for my next 'part' (job).
Those who make speeches to the press, or hold conferences, = My career is shot and no one's hiring me. This is my only way to get publicity and perhaps that will lead to another 'part'.
