I know this is shallow as hell of me, but I just wish he would Crest White Strip his teeth. Every time he smiles, I cringe. Why doesn't Jenny take control here? It drives me nuts. His teeth are beyond yellow.


I had no idea they were a couple!

Yeah her anti-vax stuff helped mainstream that nonsense and now look where we are.


Yep. You can draw a straight line from Jenny McCarthy’s anti-vaccine activism to sorryantivaxxer.com.

Ann Curry- she would wait in 10 minute Starbucks lines in the basement of 30 Rock instead of sending an assistant down. She was so polite and unassuming that tourists never noticed her.
Ethan Hawke- I worked with his mom in an unglamorous part of the business. He would come visit. Everyone in the office adored them both.
Maya Rudolph- she is down to earth, warm, and generous in a sincere way, not a “celebrity bestowing crumbs upon the peasants” way.


This is all nice to hear, PP. I know someone who had a couple of professional encounters with Ethan Hawke and who said he was always very pleasant and came across as intelligent and attentive.

Celebrities, they're just like us - worried they can't afford that expensive house: https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/reports/a41027685/meghan-harry-house-14-million/

I mean they live in a normal house because neither of them is particularly talented or does enough to make millions of dollars. These people are not nearly as rich as they pretend to be/you think they are.

I will never, ever, ever forgive Jenny McCarthy for her anti-vaxx bullshit.


Same. She did a world of hurt.


Omg. Grow up.


Nope, absolutely not. She did so much damage.

Of these, I think only JLD grew up rich, and none from celebrity families. Also, only JG lives in LA.

Yes, JLD.

I’ve heard the same. Maybe we are being tricked! Just kidding.

John Cusack is an ahole, go smoke somewhere else


New poster. I know nothing about what Cusack's like now. But back in the day I lived in the town where he grew up and where he returned when he wasn't away making movies as a teen. I guess he attended high school at least some of the time when home, because I remember well the day when my landlady's teen daughter floated thorugh the door one afternoon, thrilled beyond belief that "John Cusack borrowed my class notes!" It was sweet.

He got veneers in the last couple years and they’re huge white chompers now. Are you watching old eps of Blue Bloods. His bigger problem is his spray on hair.
I’ve met Donnie many times and he’s a gem. But very aware of his celebrity and his role in it. I wouldn’t call him down to earth as much as charismatic.
