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.
A friend of mine, who is no kind of celebrity, knows Cher. He says she is the most nice, down to earth person you'd want to meet, with no star complex. He also says that in contrast to her stage appearance she's only about 5"3" tall.
ROTFLOL
Thanks for that!
cool to see michael mann on there. (no, thats not michael mann in the picture)
LOL! Well, fortunately, my wife handles that very well, but I appreciate the offer.
Nice to hear about celebrities who don't have hyper-inflated egos. They seem so few and far between! Never would have guessed she was only 5'3......she certainly stands a lot taller than most other celebrities for her efforts for the troops!
