Big difference between Hollywood celebs and Country stars.
ow! actual common sense from Piers Morgan?????
I think we should find a way to dump large quantities of whatever Morgan is drinking into the water system in Hollywood. It appears to be effective.
Here’s the three things Meryl has to do.
1. Hit her mark on the floor.
2. Say her lines.
3. Make sure the pay office has the right address to send her check to.
It’s positively elitist and irresponsible for ‘stars’ to use their celebrity status and their name recognition to spew THEIR political views on national TV, etc….all with the summary assumption that anyone thinking otherwise was not entitled to object or to even have differing views
Why? Well-I’ll tell y’a.
Here where I work, if I shot off MY mouth about MY views, I would be out of a job so fast it would make my head spin.
I am at a University where EVERYONE is Liberal. In NO way do I enjoy the kind or extent of freedom to say and think whatever I want, the way these ‘stars’ do. I have to be quiet, I have to be responsible, I have to be ‘tolerant’, I have to roll over and play dead!!! My views would not be tolerated! I am certain that I am not unique in this
AND I couldn’t have a Trump yard sign or a bumper sticker without a certainty that my home or car would not be vandalized. Is THAT fair?
Think about this a minute! How much MORE significant is it that Trump won the Presidency in THAT kind of a national political environment? The MSM and all those highly visible, Liberal idiots who so freely threw their weight around (out of all proportion to their actual numbers) thought they had it all squelched and were going to win in a landslide.
Like a crowd of crude Nazi blackshirts, they intimidated everyone into shutting-up about any opposing views … AS IF that meant there WERE NO opposing views. Celebs, the MSM and all the other loudmouth Liberal cretins bullied the opposition unmercifully to con themselves into a false sense of security … and they got what they deserved!
Hear hear from Travis Tritt. the subject has been covered by the Man in Black. Entertainers should not think they are some kind of genius political commentators:

I guess it’s safe to assume they didn’t play the National Anthem before the Golden Globes. If they had there would have been about a half dozen people left in the auditorium. Come to think about it, that would have been fun.
“Dear Hollywood celebrities,
You exist for my entertainment. Some of you are great eye candy. Some of you can deliver a line with such conviction that you bring tears to my eyes. Some of you can scare the crap out of me. Others make me laugh. But you all have one thing in common, you only have a place in my world to entertain me. That’s it.
You make your living pretending to be someone else. Playing dress up like a 6 year old. You live in a make believe world in front of a camera. And often when you are away from one too.
Your entire existence depends on my patronage.
I’ll crank the organ; you dance.
I don’t really care where you stand on issues. Honestly, your stance matters far less to me than that of my neighbor. You see, you aren’t real. I turn off my TV or shut down my computer and you cease to exist in my world. Once I am done with you, I can put you back in your little box until I want you to entertain me again.
I don’t care that you think the BP executives deserve the death penalty. But I bet you looked cute saying it.
And you? Really? I’m supposed to care what the director of fluffy tripe made for gullible people thinks about global warming or gun control? Get back into your bubble. I’ll let you know when I’m in the mood for something blue and shiny.
Make me laugh, or cry. Scare me. But realize that the only words of yours that matter are scripted. I might agree with some of you from time to time, but it doesn’t matter. In my world, you exist solely for my entertainment
So, shut your pie hole and dance!”
I’ve disliked her ever since the old days when she upset the apple industry with her ignorant “expert” claims about Alar. A lot of folks took a serious financial hit, yet she never looked back.
Meryl Streep? Feed her an apple.
H. L. Mencken nails it. Of course this applies to actresses also. Ditto, all entertainers, especially singers.
“Of all actors, the most offensive to the higher cerebral centers is the one who pretends to intellectuality. His alleged intelligence, of course, is purely imaginary: no man of genuinely superior intelligence has ever been an actor. Even supposing a young man of appreciable mental powers to be lured to the stage, as philosophers are occasionally lured to bordellos, his mind would be inevitably and almost immediately destroyed by the gaudy nonsense issuing from his mouth every night. That nonsense enters into the very fiber of the actor. He becomes a grotesque boiling down of all the preposterous characters that he has impersonated. Their characteristics are seen in his manner, in his reactions to stimuli, in his point of view. He becomes a walking artificiality, a strutting dummy, a thematic catalogue of imbecilities.”
When Piers Morgan calls YOU an elitist snob, that’s a red flag people.
The truth is there are a lot more conservatives in Hollywood than conventional wisdom suggests. Granted, they’re usually not social conservatives but they’re closer to Trump than to Clinton. I’ll bet you that a lot of ‘stars’ disagree with Streep’s lunacy.
Any performer daring to speak out against Meryl, I will buy your albums and dvds and anything you want. The rest..... maybe I’ll see you for free, maybe. I was gonna buy the whole Breaking Bad. You couldn’t get me to give Cranston a penny now.
Meryl’s got hers. She will be happy only performing for Leftist zombies now.
They’ve childish spoiled LOOKITMEEEE brats who think they are so much better than anyone else merely because that can imitate fake people
We should do a mapping project of their homes and where their brats go to school. And let’s just see how “diverse” these hypocrites really are
Whoa!!!!! I’m about to take back YEARS of nasty comments about Piers Morgan!! He butterflied, filleted, and ROASTED Meryl. That was wonderful. When he got to the end, showing her LEAPING to her feet to give a standing ovation to Roman Polanski, that was like winning creme brûlée every night for life!! I was that girl he raped, basically (not literally but damnnnnn close). I guess Meryl doesn’t care for the truly defenseless and drugging and raping them in the Hollywood hills was ok because Art.
She’s a dumb hypocrite.
I tuned in to be entertained, not to hear a political lecture from some actress who probably did more harm than any good.....disgusting.
I know which movie's I won't be seeing if they have a certain actor in them.......
Meryl Streep is a very overrated actress.
