Bad-boy actor Sean Penn says his opposition to a war in Iraq cost him a lucrative movie role - but the film's producer, Steve Bing, calls the claim "extortion." The feud over "Why Men Shouldn't Marry" erupted yesterday amid dueling lawsuits in Los Angeles.

Excellent! I was waiting to see how long it took somebody to bring that up!
Penn can't shout it's a Bush plot now, can he?

Did they name him or her "C.C." for "Casting Couch".

Here's a clue Sean Soon-to-be-PENNiless, you go ahead and say anything you want and Mr. Bing can employ anyone he wants. Freedom of speech and freedom of association play both ways, not just in the direction of loud, whiny, narcissistic, psycho libs like you. Grow up you pathetic, spoiled child.

Maybe he'll get the lead in "Why People Shouldn't Procreate."

He was very good in "Dead Man Walking" and he was also very good in the movie where he played a retarded guy.
To: DCPatriot
That last one was 'I am Sam'. I never did see 'Dead Man Walking'. Would you recommend it as a rental?
To: DCPatriot
He wasn't acting when he played the retarded guy.
To: new cruelty
Why is it that whenever someone plays a retarded person, they are automatically nominated for an Oscar? Anybody can play a retarded person, just make some funny faces and babble. What's so hard about that?

Sean Penn hollywood trashman!

To: dfwgator
You make a good point. I don't know if acting retarded is difficult. Dustin Hoffman, while not retarded did a fine job in Rain Man, but I thought Tom Cruise did just as well, if not better.
Did Penn get nominated?
To: TLBSHOW
Poor baby! BwhahahahhahahahahaHA!
Thing is....I won't be spending a DIME of our money to ever again support the shallow, stupid hollywood actors who are trying to hurt our nation. Never. I no longer am interested in seeing them act....I cannot separate the harm they are doing to our nation from any role they may take on. No way. Not my money. I SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!

To: kiras
If it did, good. He and all the other hollywierdos should keep their mouths shut. They don't have any more insight than anyone else in this country, just more opportunity to show their ignorance to the world. And yet we are subjected to this idiocy daily. I really despise these libral thespians who think we care what they have to say, and I refuse to go to any of their movies, or pay to rent any of them either.
Will someone Please post the list of Conservative actors again, so I can make good decisions?!
To: kiras
So, Sean, why don't you start an anti-blacklisting campaign to help all the conservative industry people that have to stay closeted to keep or get jobs in Hollywood? In this industry, you can admit to sleeping with anyone, taking any kind of drug, stealing, probably murder would be OK, but if you are a conservative, you need to keep it hidden. Now you know how it feels! Help out the blacklisted little people, Sean.

You are right that they did not need to learn the art of blacklisting in Hollywood from the good senator. And today, the majority of blacklisting is done by the leftists against any who dare to declare themselves conservatives.

I'll start it; James Wood, Ron Silver, Jon Voight(supports Isarel), I think Steven Speilberg, Tom Cruise and Robert DeNiro have come out in support of military action. Howard Stern has also been supporting the removal of Saddam.
