Since Tom Cruise denigrated my entire profession and put down what I do on a daily basis for almost pennies while trying to help people through the complexity of life, I'm not inclined to give him even ONE of my hard earned pennies. He actually disgusts me. ETA: Ryan, on the other hand, does not disgust me

Like many of you, I'm not a Tom Cruise fan nor am I interested in his movies anymore. I felt personally insulted by his comments about psychiatry and the use of medication for depression and the like. Like Spygirl, he disgusts me too.

That is shocking! Tom Cruise, like many famous people, has a platform to express his views and get an inordinate amount of publicity doing so. Unfortunately, there are a number of people interested in hearing these famous peoples’ opinions on subjects that they may know nothing about. The list goes on and on. I was watching Larry King one night and in the first segment of his show he had a panel of experts discussing a serious issue. He had some celebrity on in the second part of his show and he promptly asked the celebrity for her opinion on the issue. My immediate reaction was why should we care what her opinion is?

I got my People magazine today and Angela Bassett and Courtney Vance's daughter's name is Bronwyn.

Ever since I first heard the name Bronwyn (Maureen O'Hara's daughter, it is Irish) I have loved the name. Since I will never have any more children, I think I might name my next cat Bronwyn.

Bronwyn's actually a Welsh name, it's still reasonably common in the UK (at least it was in my day, might not be so common now). I posted upthread that Angela's assistant was called Bronwyn, and as I haven't heard the name much here I'd guess that's what made her think of it.

I sure wish they'd have gone with Bruce for JR Ewing instead of Travolta.

Any confirmation about Joley Pitt wedding this weekend. Apparently, according to Canadian newspaper, it was to happen at George Clooney's Italian villa. Fondly Wappy

George Clooney actually refuses to use his fame as a platform for grandstanding. He will actually refuse to answer questions after a point. He says it's not for him to speak. Just like the celebs who are paid to endorse certain drugs or products, celebs who use their fame to promote their religions are not those I trust. Some celebs use their fame for good (helping victims of natural disasters, fundraising for certain diseases). But far too many of them think that what they have to say is something that we should all listen to. And um, sorry, nope. Not all at. (And nope, I'm not a fan of actors turned "guv-ners" either! <sigh>)

Like, uh, Michael Douglas. Is that what you mean, Costa? His recent opinions on Pitt-Aniston, etc. was way out of line. Who made him judge and jury?

Costacat, I love George Clooney too, but he sure had a platform last week for his statements regarding liberal politics. Fondly Wappy

Actually, I think I may have mis-spoken. Clooney *usually* does not use his fame to speak out. However, I think he did take advantage of the awards ceremonies, yes?

Clooney says that the "blog" thing that was going around last week, was not his writing. It was phony.
