UK First Post ^ | 1/8/09

Posted on 01/08/2009 10:34:03 AM PST by lewisglad

Anne Hathaway, who is currently promoting two movies, a serious-ish family melodrama Rachel Getting Married, for which she is being tipped for an Oscar nomination, and a knockabout comedy called Bride Wars, has expressed some uncertainty about Barack Obama. Her gripe is over the President-elect's decision to allow Pastor Rick Warren, a fundamentalist Christian described by some as a "hate preacher", to deliver one of the invocation speeches at his inauguration on January 20. "I expect him to explain that choice of Rick Warren," says the 26-year-old, Vassar-educated actress (pictured). "I don't get it.

So beautiful but so very stupid.

Just stand there and look pretty, don’t try to think too much, and for God’s sake, don’t open your mouth unless the words are from a script.

I guess Hollywood feels it’s safe to come out now. Silly fools.

I love how these know-it-all Hollywood types blame preachers for teaching the Word of God.

I don’t get it, either. I don’t particularly care for Rick Warren’s Purpose Driven stuff, but he is absolutely not a “hate preacher”. Anne needs to act, not talk.

“All my friends and I were trying to figure it out,”

Well, that settles it if her friends think so.

Anne is displaying a consistently poor choice in males.

How did we ever get along without the benefit and counsel of entertainers with no thoughts of their own, and who are paid to repeat words other people write?

All future decisions must now be explained to “Anne Hathaway and her friends” before being implemented.

(That could be a tall order.)

Seriously, I thought she WAS referring to Wright when I saw the title...

the differences are becoming “irreconcilable”.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Oh, and her all friends are apparently just as dumb.

I’m no fan of RW, but I challenge anyone to find a quote of his advocating hate speech.

Hathaway needs to call Vassar and demand a refund.

Annie needs to concentrate on making movies that don’t suck and picking boyfriends who aren’t low-life, scum felons.
