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.

What took 'em so long?

[rintense]

Correct. Bur she married Rob Tapert, from the east side of the State, and visits his family every now and then. Plus, she's a huge Redwings fan! She gets honorary Michigander status. :)

That comment of yours, the one that got pulled, and the very first comment you made on this thread...I find it odd that those don't make it into your listed beliefs. You can try to ignore what you stated, you can try to spin those comments however you like. What it comes down to is this: You entered this discussion by asserting that Kidman et al merely made their anti-terror proclamation in order to appease their Shylock overlords. So go ahead and spin. Go ahead and try to draw attention away from your prejudicial comments, which had nothing to do with the WOT or with Israel's right to defend herself.

Ahhhhh, I hope that you are being sarcastic. You will note the "" that means sarcasm. Maybe you need to stop sniffing glue so early in the day and stick to gasoline.
So lets talk about making an idiot our of oneself!!

My first post was this...

"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."

I haven't spun anything. I said it was a PR move (above) and I still believe that. That isn't hatred for Jews (as you seem to imply); it's disgust with the Hollywood culture. It's merely the suggestion that these celebs feel the need to support Israel as much because of the level of Jewish involvement in Hollywood, as for any other reason. They're keeping their bosses happy. That's it!!! And it's not spin! And it's NOT antisemitic!

Oh, and that pulled post (#296). It wasn't mine. It was by a guy with the handle 'wgaca' who had a REAL hatred. He was a troll, I pointed it out to him in my post #298. He was zotted. I'm still here, much to your displeasure I'm sure.

A suggestion. Drop it. I owe you nothing, you owe me nothing. You may think what you want, I don't care.

Admin Moderator: This guy wants to pick a fight. I'm frankly tired of it and his insinuations. Go over my posts. I've said what I said and offer no apologies. To him or anyone else. But it's gotten to the point of harassment from him and I'm not tolerating it any longer.

[napscoordinator]

lol. OK that was deserved on my part. I love sniffing glue...Have a good one.

[Mordacious]

Yes! The Blue Room. Was she fully nude when you saw it?

Yes, but I didn't take any pictures, so you're out of luck ;)

Do you also believe that all the Irish are drunks, Sicilians are mafiosi, and the French are robust lovers?

European heaven:
The French are the cooks, the Italians the lovers, the English the police, the Germans the mechanics, and the Swiss the administrators.

Ever catch the movie "Birthday Girl", English flick I believe. I normally could take or leave Miss Kidman but she was definitely tasty.

[bcsco]

Good one!

[garbageseeker]

Very surprising that Dennis Hopper is on the list. I am very happy that these people are taking a stand against terrorism

[ElPatriota]

Waaaaaait a minute... is this some kind of a cruel joke? :)

HOLLYWOOD is not singing the praises of the Terrorists?... Not blaming Bush for the "head-cutters" behavior?... That does not make sense! something is not right here :)
