The many ironies of Hollywood.

List them.

Here's one: Many actors and actresses like to present themselves as progressive and authentic - yet constantly push/revel in consumerism/materialism/corporate culture.

Preaching about justice and human rights while profiting handsomely from child slave labor picking coffee beans for Nespresso.

Claiming to be anti-drugs and healthy people while being cokeheads, pill addled pricks.

True r2. They're all into "fitness and healthy living" but most of them smoke cigs, use drugs and have eating disorders.

A lot of actors/actresses are often involved with projects that bash capitalism/materialism/corporate ethos (many publicly throw jabs themselves) yet they tend to relish in this stuff as well. That said, I'm not finger wagging, just fascinated.

Very little difference between Hollywood, politicians, and corporate America "leaders."

It's an irony that audiences want to listen to actors' opinions in the first place.

With a slim number of exceptions, they're narcissistic lamebrains.

(Then again, I guess 2024 is the Year of the Narcissistic Lamebrain.)

OP/r4 "That said, I'm not finger wagging"

You are - but I agree.

OP I FF’d you for being too stupid to live

You have JUST discovered the concept of Limousine Liberals?

r2, how is it all? Not everyone in HW does drugs (unless you count in cannabis). Not everyone eats unhealthy food. I don't even drink or smoke tobacco. Lana is basically an organic gal.

r6, they end up destroying their careers because no one will care. The voting never mattered because Elonia tampered with the machines. Trump already said he had the numbers months before. They cheated and this is why the "GOP" appeared as President, but the rest were Democrat.

Trump is a DEMOCRAT. GOP is just too stupid to see that.

Claiming to care about climate change while taking private jets everywhere.

Claiming to be sophisticated and in it for the craft but milking a Kartrashian contract for free private jet rides and other perks.

r12, they are professional beards. Everyone knows this.

r13: I said other perks.

by Anonymousreply 14December 12, 2024 5:06 PM

r13 I understand. I was just saying: you're right. The contract was to hide his sexuality so that he would be accepted by mainstream..... even though it's not an issue like it was before.
