He may be keeping himself in the news, but from people I've talked to, he's losing the respect of many of his fans with his holier-than-thou attitude. At the rate he's going, he could alienate a lot of people in a month.

Him, Madonna, Britney, etc.....notice how they are losing respect for their outrageous attitudes. I think when you are of celebrity status, you shouldn't use that status to promote your religious beliefs or political views. Unless you are Governor Schwarzenegger, and made the transition, shut up. We don't want you pushing your extremist political views or your far fetched religious rituals on us. Do what you are known for, act, sing, entertain, don't try to change us and we won't lose respect for you.

Of course Arnie made his political opinions public knowledge before he ran for office too and I didn't care one bit. Just because he was a bad actor didn't mean he couldn't express his opinion and I never held it against him. I feel bad for those who can't divorce the two things and think it's a good thing to tell other Americans, whatever their profession, to "shut up." They'd never say "plumbers should shut up" or "teachers should shut up." But maybe that's because I have friends who work in the business and, except for the money some of them have, I haven't found them to be different from any of my other friends. Indeed, I'm sure thy'd prefer not to be respected if they have to shut up for respect. I don't know anyone who respects a cipher.

Lindsay Lohan’s Daddy Issues Grow More Complicated Lindsay Lohan’s father was sentenced to prison today in New York, receiving 1 1/3 to 4 years for a medley of crimes, including the highly entertaining (though, sadly, highly illegal) footwear-based assault of his brother-in-law. Lohan’s publicist is secretly thrilled, knowing that she can now abandon her usual arsenal of fake illness-based excuses for the actress’s antics in favor of ones rooted in the stresses of having her father in jail. Read about it here

I agree Tish. What I find upsetting or objectionable is the attitude that their opinion should matter more because of their celebrity.

I don't think that the majority of celebrities think that their opinions matter more. I think it's the public that makes their opinions matter more.

I think it's probably a little of both. Why would candidates have celebrities stump for them if they didn't think their celebrity would help? Why do some people listen more to what a celebrity says on an issue than read the newspaper or research it?

If celeb opinions don't matter more, then why on earth are they used to sell products? These people are paid millions to sway the public to buy whatever flavor of the day they are hawking.

If we (the general public) didn't listen, they wouldn't be able to get that kind of money.

Someone up above asked about Zsa Zsa. I saw an item on one of those entertainment magazine type shows where her husband went after a photographer who was trying to take her picture. She was in a wheel chair and he was bringing her home I think ...either that or he was taking her out. If they hadn't said that that was Zsa Zsa...I sure wouldn't have recognized her. Her hair was all gray and just combed back...not styled in any way...and she appeared to be wearing those big sunglasses that go over regular glasses. She looked like any other eldery woman who is not well enough to care for herself. It was very sad to see...and I know that she must hate that we saw. I don't blame her husband one bit. Why do people have the right to take our picture if we don't want them to?

Mary, I saw some teaser for a show and they were showing that. I had no idea that was Zsa Zsa!

Zsa Zsa nearly died, from what I understand, a couple years ago as a result of an accident she had on Sunset Blvd. near Sweetzer (in West Hollywood). She was in a coma for a while and from what I understand--this may be wrong, admittedly--hasn't been the same since. But I think she was already like 85 or something when she had the accident and you know how hard it is to bounce back from that stuff when you're that old.

Gabor gets $2m crash settlement Gabor was left partially-paralysed Actress Zsa Zsa Gabor has settled a $2m (£1.04m) legal action against the driver of car involved in a crash which left her seriously injured. Gabor, 88, was the passenger in a car driven by her hairdresser Jaren Millard when it crashed into a pole in 2002. "There's no amount of money that can compensate for the suffering Mr Millard has caused," said Gabor's lawyer Ronald Jason Palmieri. The compensation claim had been due to go before a court on Monday. Gabor was left partially-paralysed by the crash in West Hollywood, California, and now uses a wheelchair. 'Emotionally devastated' She spent months recovering from her injuries before she could return to her Bel Air home. The settlement will see Gabor receive $1.75m, while her husband Frederic von Anhalt receives $250,000 for "loss of companionship" during her hospital stay. "I was emotionally devastated to think that anything I did hurt Zsa Zsa," Mr Millard said in a statement. "She and I have shared a loving friendship for more than two decades, and it tore me apart to see her in any kind of pain." Gabor is best known for her multiple marriages - at least eight, including husbands Count Felipe de Alba, Jack Ryan, businessman Herbert Hutner as well as von Anhalt. One marriage lasted just 24 hours. Her flamboyant character has made her one of Hollywood's most recognisable figures, despite a largely forgettable film career. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/film/4322379.stm

Maybe replay it after it finishes downloading. It's just her complaining, but it's kinda humorous.

If I spent as much time in the UK as she, I'd probably sound like the queen. I latch onto accents very fast. I think it's because I was originally a hillbilly who now talks like a generic American.

Paris Hilton is engaged to her boyfriend of five months, Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis. Hilton’s spokesman, Rob Shuter, tells PEOPLE: “They are happy and excited.” Latsis, 27, proposed on Wednesday, the day Hilton, 24, returned home to Los Angeles after a three-week trip to Europe, where she promoted her thriller House of Wax and her new fragrance. The couple celebrated yesterday with a barbecue for 75 friends and family at the Hollywood Hills home they share. "I'm very in love – he's the one," Hilton told PEOPLE earlier this month. "I want to have kids in the next two years, because I know that completes your life." No date has been set for the wedding. This will be the first marriage for both. People
