Quote of the Day


"It's just that he has no clue at all what's going on in Venezuela. He's been praising Hugo Chavez, who is a dictator and a killer. He should shut up about what he doesn't know."

We trust Venezuelan-bred actress Maria Conchita Alonso is financially secure as we fear this tempestuous, ill-mannered little outburst directed at Hollywood’s “It”-boy, Sean Penn, may lose her some work in the group-think (tank) of Tinseltown.

In other news last week, Benecio del Toro hung with Chavez at his palace in Caracas promoting the film, Che, in which he plays the lead.

Del Toro's comments caused apoplexy on the political right in the US, but lately even Democrats have been perturbed by Mr Chavez's intolerance of media criticism and political opposition.


Even Democrats? Well, now.

And coming soon to the straight-to-video rack at Blockbuster: Chavez will be bankrolling to the tune of $18 million an Oliver Stone flick about Haiti’s left-leaning 19th-century leader, Toussaint Louverture.

Hollywood: your independant source for independant thinking.

Wimbleton, no Mr. Lloyd, she won "Running Man" with our Govenator! That's after she smacked him around a bit!

What do you expect from Hollywood? They have carried political correctness to absurd extremes, for example designating that the Best Actor award would go to someone who is mentally challenged this year. As fun as it is to rant against them, it also seems pointless. "Never argue with a fool, onlookers might not be able to tell the difference."
