Sarah Jessica Parker is being humiliated by The New York Post for being obscenely rich and obscenely cheap. However, what is not mentioned is she is not alone and from what I have seen first hand there is only one “celebrity” that is not cheap and that is Jack Nicholson. The list of stars including a director who cast himself in his own films and than has very expensive underwear (not Hanes) purchased for him. He than has them washed over and over by the costume designer's assistants. Hint..I dislike him more than another director I won't mention that is under house arrest for having sex with a minor.
At one point some production companies have attempted to ask celebrities to pay something when they kept their clothes from movie shoots. Bottom line is everyone in the industry that can get something for free and hold on to their massive fortunes does. They also attempt to negotiate "plebeians" for as little $ as possible...ho hum.
Jack Nicholson is the only celebrity that seems to me to remember his roots and is just generous, and he used to be a big bad flirt from what I have heard. He probably still is.
I have even witnessed highly paid women in the entertainment business including one of the highest paying magazines -- trying to lower the price on the smallest of transactions and than brag to
(was it me ?) about paying x amount of thousands to have the dark circles removed from under her eyes. By the way, any supposed feminist that doesn’t tell what surgery she has had and let’s women compare themselves to her is no feminist. There are also plenty of men that have had face-lifts and their bodies tweaked other than Gene Simmons. Celebrities and authors should include what they have had done on their websites so fans do not compare themselves to them or maybe as a warning for what not to do. Ditto for athletes and actors using steriods!
As usual, TMZ has the scoops and not that any of us will be losing sleep over this but if Lindsey Lohan doesn’t get to the USA soon from Cannes she may find herself behind bars. Go to TMZ for more on this and other breaking news in "Celebrity World" - not a planet most of us visit!
Lindsey Lohan is in Cannes to promote the independent film in which she plays Linda Lovelace. For anyone who has no idea about Lovelace’s tragic life and abuse endured here is her wikepedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Lovelace.
Men around the world are fascinated by Lovelace’s famous film Deep Throat and Brian Grazer is among them. He produced “Inside Deep Throat”. Again I would rather refer you to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inside_Deep_Throat.
Linda Lovelace's experience in the porn industry was hellish and she said her husband exploited her and beat her to make her perform. Jenna Jameson, retired media mogul, had some tough times but nothing as horrific as Lovelace. Jameson paved the way for other female porn stars like Belladonna and Terra Patrick to also direct, produce and even create their own studios.
Porn is a mega-billion dollar industry and is not only here to stay but the thin line between porn and Hollywood continues to blur. In fact the AVN Awards, porn’s version of the Oscars is said to be better and a lot more fun than the Oscars. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVN_Award
Way back when in my twenties when I listened to Howard Stern, I remember a porn star lamenting when the porn industry was no longer run by Mafia. You see the Mafia guys paid them in cash.
Just to bring you back to NYC. Albany has still not closed the budget and a title of a documentary covering this debacle could be called “Deeply Screwed” how Albany and City Hall took NYC from a recession to a depression...This is an economic horror show here in New York although times are tough in other States and around the world. I write here in NYC so I had to mention the economic crisis here but another catastrophe that people have yet to understand the horror of completely is the oil spill off of the Gulf of Mexico which continues to get worse. Sea life continue dying suffocating to death which is horrific and will have very disturbing long range results. Now the news is the oil spill maybe showing up on Florida’s beaches.
I guess focusing on Sarah Jessica Parker deemed the cheapest entertainer (and believe me she has competition) and Lindsey Lohan are a vacation from very serious issues that truly effect our lives.
