The latest from our Heart and Soul
What is it with celebrities popping off in random racist outbursts? Do they honestly think that it’s ok because of “Who they are?” or that no one will notice or say anything? The ceremonial trashing of hotel rooms or swanky Las Vegas bar fights all seems to be part and parcel of Hollywood, but what’s with the race hate? There is no amount of alcohol on the planet to excuse this behaviour; it’s just sheer and utter ignorance. If you are a celebrity and you wake up naked in a bus shelter after a 48-hour cocaine binge, a fast acting PR rep can bend the story a bit, get you a date with Dr. Drew and make it all go away. If you are a celebrity and you spew racist filth at people, no PR rep in the world can save you from that because you are simply an ignorant ASS!
It was reported this week that John Galliano, the head designer for the house of Dior was arrested and subsequently suspended from Dior. He was drinking in Paris's hip Marais district, home to the area's Jewish community, when he allegedly started swearing like a mad man and hurling anti-Jewish insults at a couple before attacking them. He also allegedly blew over the legal limit when he arrived at the police station. Yet again, another celebrity set to blame alcohol for his vulgar moronic behaviour. I am a firm believer that no amount of alcohol can “make” you say things that are not already in your heart.
Just this past week Charlie Sheen made headlines, again, for trashing his show’s producer, Chuck Lorre. He is getting slammed for being an anti-Semite after he called Lorre by his Hebrew name during a call-in to radio's Alex Jones Show. Sheen denies these accusations saying, "I was referring to Chuck by his real name, because I wanted to address the man, not the [expletive] TV persona," Sheen told the celebrity website TMZ.
From Cosmo Kramer to Braveheart, it seems that no matter who you are or how famous you get, money can’t buy tolerance, or brains for that matter. So when is enough ...enough? Is it the sex scandals, D.U.Is or the hate? What makes you stop watching a celebrity or buying into them?
