Why can’t singers just sing, and actors just act? Why do they always have to enter the realm of politics? It is an area very few celebrities are knowledgeable about and most just spew ridiculous left-wing talking points. Sadly, almost all the top Hollywood celebrities and rock stars are progressive fools. A perfect example is 80-year-old actor Robert De Niro, a highly acclaimed film star with a career that has spanned decades. For most of his career, he did not have a reputation as a far-left fanatic like Jane Fonda or Barbara Streisand. However, all of that changed with the...

Interesting. I don't think he gives Bush enough credit, but he's definitely right about the situation Bush inherited. And I give him a lot of credit for having the guts to say this. He tells the publication, "President Bush was in the wrong place at the wrong time, I don't know how anyone could have handled this situation. "I don't give a f**k who's in office, Bush or whoever, there is no simple solution to this problem... I'm not one of those who blames Bush for everything. This s**t between Christians and Muslims goes back to the Crusades, doesn't it....

Remember when Mickey Rourke was hot? Check him out in the photo above from when he made 9 1/2 Weeks with Kim Basinger. Rent the movie. Watch it. Then tell me the dude wasn’t hot. He specialized as the dashing bad boy and never struck me as the type to do whatever he’s done to his face. He seemed to not care about his looks. He was ruggedly handsome and was into boxing and living on the edge. Apparently he cared more than it seemed he did. Then he kind of disappeared from the movie scene for a while. He’s...

Venice hails cinema's comeback king Mickey Rourke Sun Sep 7, 2008 6:32am EDT By Mike Collett-White and Silvia Aloisi VENICE (Reuters) - Eleven days of red carpet galas, 21 films in competition and countless interviews, photo calls and parties at the Venice film festival boiled down to just one man in the end -- Mickey Rourke.
