or do you even care about the celebrities ... and what they think politically... apposed to their craft .
I don't get why anyone cares about what a "celebrity" thinks. By virtue of their "craft", they're attention whores to begin with...."Watch me act, clap for me...listen to my song, give me a standing ovation!"
As far as I'm concerned, they're nothing more than a court jester....and should perform for me then just shut up.

There are no celebrities

There are egos

The best egos have no price tag attached to their gift and rarely gain media attention

these celebrities give $ to who they want to support ...
do you believe that has a influence on them ...
as to whom their egos supports ... in getting whom they want elected ...



I might agree with some who are just big egos ... I do not
believe they should have the Oscars ... where they vote for one another ... should all be for the public to decide... since honestly we are the ones who give them life and like them anyway ... goes for musicians to ...

Hillary Clinton says "half of Trump Supporters Belong in a 'Basket of Deplorables' while our president calls our nations people "lazy and uncreative" while visiting Laos.

if they where for voting for a Presidential candidate you did not prefer... which I understand in this years elections are really out of control...& I am just more surprised then anything ... there is a big difference for likening someone then... them taking over and running the country as president don't you think ... and if these celebrities have liked what this presidential candidate said about people in our country the USA... does that mean they feel the same way about others ... as the candidate feels ... or do you even care about the celebrities ... and what they think politically... apposed to their craft ... and just take that for what it is as a separate kind of work...


Celebrities, all kinds, shouldn't voice their opinion on anything.

And when they do... somebody is paying them, to do it. So it is just another script, they are PAWNS.

But.. Hell yes, I would boycott ANYBODY or ANYTHING.



And I keep a list of the ingrates, in my purse. :laughing:

Obama said that our president calls our nations people "lazy and uncreative" while visiting Laos. ... usually that's what the republicans say about the public ...

depends.
Am I partaking of their 'celebrity' because they provide me with a means of entertainment? ...or are they a celebrity because they are famously in control of something (mayor, senator, president etc). That may make it my responsibility to 'boycott' them (cast a vote, demonstrate somehow etc)

My interest in being entertained by them could change if something happens to make me less entertained by them. See what Im sayin?


yes I do ... only look one way at them ...just for entertainment ... that's it right ... not who they are as people really or how they feel privately ...

I would like to agree with you ... if some did not give to charities or try to make life better for others ... then their are the easy ones to choose to shut up ...laugh

Bill Clinton suggests Trump slogan racist – but he used the same one

Former President Bill Clinton might want to keep the racism accusations to himself from now on -- after ripping Donald Trump for a slogan he's used REPEATEDLY since his Comeback kid days. slaphead

Since many in the entertainment industry hail from "Hollywood" which is in California, a true liberal bastion, the home of sanctuary cities, Feinstein, Piglosi, Brown, and the greatest example of all the failed politicos, policies, and agendas of the demoncrapic party, and from which the many hailed as celebrities, making millions to contribute to the party and given their bully pulpits to speak from.......

NOPE..... have no problem at all boycotting them

Clint Eastwood spoke to an empty chair..... cute gesture.... very symbolic

I dont much care what entertainers think and do on their personal time, if they are entertaining, I will pay for their services


besides, boycotting a person is rarely actually just boycotting them, there are alot of people who make livings in support roles to these entertainers so their livelihood is also affected


if my money is being used in a manner I dont approve then I spend it elsewhere,, otherwise,, if I pay for a product or service that satisfies and it continues to satisfy, I continue to pay

Colors was the only movie of his that I actually liked, even then I think it was more because of Robert Duvall keeping Sean Penns racist and bullying character under control.

that was good too

and taps, with tom cruise as the crazy kid

I also loved the movie he did with Christopher Walken, though the name escapes me

and mystic river, with kevin bacon, just mesmerizing
