Lily is an embarrassment


Hollywood people in every context NEED to be nice or else the public will no
longer tolerate celebrity.

It takes bad apples to bring the whole tree falling.

It's one thing to be an artist but this whole celebrity culture especially in America has gotten too too far.

I hope we don't end up loosing the Arts in this country.

Yup. The whole industry, as bullsh!t as it already was, has gone to Hell in a handbasket. What a sick world we live in. And this old banshee shows exactly what is wrong with it: pure ego, moderate to little talent, and a total sense of entitlement.

People need to grow up. It was a disagreement that should have never been taped or leaked. It has happened since Citizen Kane, it is probable happening right now on different sets around the country and will happen long after these two "artists" are dead.

Doesn't mean it is acceptable behavior. Maybe in Hollywood, but not in the real world.

Puh-lease.

It certainly didn't affect the quality of the work. I wonder what's really bugging folks about this - that somone used potty mouth to express their displeasure or that people in the "real world" have to repress their emotions and pretend that life is civil and pretty and neat and clean all the time?

Perhaps if people blew up at each other verbally every once in a while, folks wouldn't snap and go postal.

They've worked together before Huckabees. They'll work together after Huckabees.

This is a non-story.

Why should overpaid, overrated Hollywood prima donnas (redundant?) get the free pass??? And if everybody blew up and got it out of their system, as you say, then the incidence of crime would escalate like mad, pardon the expression. Puh-lease. That's why we have a civilized society out here in the real world. Law and order. Hollywood arses seem to be above both.

Um... cuz?

Um, if you need an answer to that, then you are more obtuse than I originally thought.

You originally thought I was obtuse? From one comment?

My - someone needs a hug and a nap.
