In tribute to the Armed Forces today the participants will be mostly dressed in black and for the men business attire is encouraged.

Celebratory music has also been cancelled as well

[Fraulein]

Why did you decline? For what reasons? I agree with SpookBrat...I'd certainly break out the congos (and more) for Matthew!

I'm JEALOUS just because you had the opportunity.

[diamond6]

Can someone post the "list" of celebrities that are against the war?

[falfa]

I'll see your Bruce's and raise you a Mel collage.

[RichInOC]

Jacko...that lucky son of a...

I bet he turned her down, didn't he?

[mafree]

Nice collage.

[Wavyhill]

That is utterly sick. How could a woman go for a chester over a real man? She's a babe, but that doesn't get her off the hook.

[falfa]

AltaVista is a girl's best friend. ; )

[Fraulein]

Does anybody know where his daughter stands on the war?

I am not sure. I do know that Jolie was an ambassador to the U.N. at one point, and she has been very involved with human rights violations and the like. She has also given millions of dollars to help afflicted children around the world, and so on. Unlike most in Hollywood, she at least does something and attempts to put her money where her mouth is, liberal or no.

[Fraulein]

I bet he turned her down, didn't he?

Yep. In the interview Jacko essentially said that the attempted seduction by O'Neal horrified and scared him. O'Neal got nowhere.

[Fraulein]

I bet he turned her down, didn't he?

Yep. In other words, he did what any gay man would do.

I was privileged to be a part of the FReep tonight at Hollywood and Highland in Hollywood across the street from the Kodak Theatre where the Academy Awards were held.

It was incredible to see the HUGE outpouring of pro-American, pro-troop, pro-Bush sentiments with only the occasional anti-war, anti-American, anti-Bush crowd.

One of the best signs was, "It's not about the oil, it's about the gas: Sarin Gas, Racin Gas, Zylon B Gas (sorry about the spelling)..."

A few limos rolled down their windows and gave the thumbs up, while others rolled down and gave the "peace sign" then a home-made sign "No blood for oil."

I was approached by a guy asking me if I wasn't concerned about the "Patriotic Act" -- my response was that we always have to be aware of what our government does. Then he asked me several other "baiting" questions. I then said that I thought he was baiting me -- he looked shocked then smirked. I said, "I thought so..." then walked away.

"Liberals" are so predictable...

Love Your Neighbor. Kill Terrorists before They Murder Your Neighbor. GOD Bless Our Troops!

Amen!! That just about says it all. Great job!! ;-)

It's simply the basis of just war theory as originally written by St. Augustine. See St. Augustine's Just War Theory

DANG!!! Way to go FREEPERS!!!

[Vets_Husband_and_Wife]

I think his name is Mathew McConaughy.. but he had on red/white and blue on his lapel. John Voight (sp) had on an American Flag pin!!! Thanks for posting the pic of Shirley Jones and Marty Ingall!!! HO AH!!

[libertygirl]

Yes, Sean Astin and Jon Voight were wearing flag pins and Chad Lowe was wearing a yellow ribbon(support troops). Most of the other actors who I know are "pro-war/Bush" did not have pins on and did not say anything at the podium.

They know this is not the time or place for politics.

[diamond6]

Jon Voight wore a flag pin.

[RichInOC]

Looked up the story. Allegedly, it was when she was 12 and he was 17, before he'd developed the chester reputation (or the plastic-surgery-disaster reputation, for that matter). On the other hand, she said that although he did stop by the O'Neal place, she denied trying to seduce him.

Sucks for you, Mike. Tatum's aging a lot more gracefully than you are.

[libertygirl]

Yes, on Sean Astin and Jon Voight, plus a yellow ribbon on Chad Lowe.

[FirstTomato]

Thank you so much for posting those photos of Bruce! I "grabbed" a copy of them for later perusing!

As much as I like them however, will you please take them down? For some reason they are really messing with the bandwidth on my "my comments" page. Thank you!

bump for later reference
