I'm a lesbian and I couldn't disagree with you more.

Yes! He was gorgeous in A River Runs Through It. Not a huge fan otherwise.

I also don't think Bradley Cooper is very attractive.

I found BP such a pretty boy when he was young and not to my taste - but he is stunning in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Nicole Kidman is a total snoozefest.

Agree on Don Cheadle - proving the adage you have to work twice as hard to get half the credit - there are a number of other Black male actors who also deserve some Emmy/Oscar awards love: to wit - Delroy Lindo (deserves Emmy and Oscar), Mos Def, Michael B. Jordan, Michael Ealy (Emmy) (Silver Spring native),

Louis CK is not funny, he's a creep.

the fact that a bunch of women were forced to choose between performing sexual favors for that man and their career IS what #metoo was about. If that happened, then she is one of his victims and both of you should be ashamed of yourself for implying that that happened and she was just some sl*t.

NP. Not a fair statement, because there are actually the true victims of this blackmail: all the actresses who didn't do it and paid the price of slow (or fast) fade in the industry.
I don't even blame the ones who decided that giving sexual favors would make a difference in their career and that it was worth it at the time. But it's not cool to come back 2 decades later and act(!) as if it wasn't a rational decision and a choice.

Both groups are victims. Full stop. One chose to lose their career and the other engaged in coerced sex. Both groups are victims.

Dp. I don’t view both groups as victims. No one has to be an actress.

NP. Would you say the same to women who are told they'll lose their jobs....

in a law firm
in an office
in some retail clerk job
in a research lab
and so on, and on and on

...if they don't "play along" with powerful men? You'd tell those women they can just walk away from their careers? Or do you reserve that kind of contempt just for actresses since you think those aren't "real jobs"?

Are you that unaware of the fact that the kind of grotesque "deal" Weinstein used to get what he wanted has been around forever, and in every field? And that women legitimately can be victims if they end up caving to that deal, as well as if they refuse and pay the price?

I'm guessing you've never had a career where you had to deal with a real threat to your entire life and livelihood from someone with power over your whole career field. Lucky you.

Geor off your soapbox and save the sanctimonious rant for someone who cares. If the only way to get ahead as an actress is to suck or sit on a man’s dick, then no, I don’t feel for you. It’s not a real job. I’d rather clean bathrooms then lay with Harvey Weinstein. Several women chose the alternate then laying with him and they paid the price. I feel for them.

Tom Cruise did everything in his mighty power to make sure Kidman would never work in Hollywood again after he denounced her for not joining his cult 20 years ago. He damn near succeeded. Her Oscar-level work in Moulin Rouge and The Hours was the end of her mainstream employment. From there she got weird “art house” or indie films. She self-produced Rabbit Hole. She was shunned and didn’t have lots of great choices.

Why is Katie Holmes famous? She was a one-hit wonder actress like literally 20 years ago.

Beyonce has had a ton of plastic surgery.

Aside from Kate McKinnon, every female "comedian" on SNL is painfully unfunny.

Sarah Cooper, the gal who does the Donald Trump memes or whatever... it was funny the first time, now she's just annoying and looks desperate.

Miley Cyrus is disgusting.

J Law and Scarlett Johansson obviously slept & sucked their way to fame.

Ashton Kutcher is talentless and obnoxious.

All of the late show hosts, including that closeted Brit one, need to go away.

Ellen has never been funny and is clearly a sociopath.

Ellen and Trump have the same pre-show dance. Outlook not good for either.

I agree with all of these. I also agree with PP above that I would have waited tables and scrubbed toilets if the choice was that or blow Harvey Weinstein and applaud all the woman we’ve never heard of because they made this honorable choice. Sorry, but any woman (J Lawrence) who made the choice to whore themselves for fame is not a victim. The victims are the ones he forcibly raped or those whose careers suffered because they told him “no.”

I don't think Zoe Kravitz is particularly talented or beautiful.

Neither was Home Alone.

I feel like you have to still find it funny when someone makes fart noises with their armpits to enjoy this kind of "humor".

Home Alone 3 was better than the first two.

Kidman was master class in her therapy scenes in Big Little Lies. So incredibly understated. And mesmerizing.
I’m hopping she and Hugh Grant bring it in their upcoming HBO gig (although I did not love the book).
