Just the sight of this repulsive drama king is enough to make me hurl. I, too, find it interesting he's missing his ring.

Michael Douglas knows that those who attend the World Economic Forum can move mountains and make mounds of money. But a little star power — be it Bono, Angelina Jolie or Peter Gabriel — never hurts.
"It's an impressive group, to say the least, that covers a broad spectrum," said the 61-year-old actor-producer, adding that the free-flow nature of the event promotes dialogue in a friendly environment.
"People seem to let their hair down a little bit and loosen their ties. And there is a lot of give and share that's going on both in front on the panels and behind," Douglas told The Associated Press.
"So it's a learning experience for me and, I guess my from end, I hope they will recognize as they have from Bono's efforts and others, that many of us on the entertainment side can talk about the issues," he said.
Douglas won a best-actor Oscar for his role in 1987's "Wall Street." He also has starred in "Fatal Attraction," "Traffic" and "Wonder Boys," among other films.
As for using celebrity to advance causes, Douglas said that can be a double-edged sword.
"We obviously help fundraising a whole lot, and as spokespersons you bring the issue on the table as a message of peace from the United Nations talking about disarmament, in particular areas (like) weapons of mass destruction, nuclear disarmament," he said.
"People tend to get an audience from television when celebrities are involved. That helps. The danger is when you get in over your head and then you lose your credibility."
your right - sorry about that - it does illustrate how far they will go with "form over function".

Of course they can talk about issues, anyone can do that. It's talk about issues with even the slightest bit of intellect that's difficult.
"Brangelinas", yuk yuk yuk!
Brad is as dumb as a post, but Angelina is actually quite smart....
Weird, politically misguided, slutty, makes really bad choices in men etc; But she is no dummy in respect to her IQ .
I have a certain amount of respect for her; Unlike most of her liberal 'peers' she doesn't just 'talk the talk; she walks the walk' . She will put her own money into what she believes in. Plus she does a lot of her own stunts in her action movies. ;-)
She may be smart but her values are garbage. She probably considers herself a feminist and yet has no problem sticking it to one of the 'sisterhood' by boinking their husbands.
No argument there.
It's not like I worship her or anything, I just have a little more respect for her than most of that group.
"Just think. That scruffy-bearded liberal jerk is borking what is likely FR's most 'img src'ed hot female. LOL"
Indeed. He should realize that his wife is the Star-Power now. He is a has-been.
Ps: You've broken the rules my friend...
By accident while roaming Google Images.
If you can't win elections then circumvent the Powers that be.. all these phony elitists, from Government, Media and Entertainment are nothing more than spoilers hellbent on 'having it their way'.. immoral socialists.
Oh yeah, and I bet their all their checking their various Swiss accounts.
Catherine Zeta-Jones would agree.
Man does he look rough!
Yes, I did. Feel free to make an adjustment on my behalf. I also typed in 'borking' instead of 'boinking'. LOL Politics on the brain I guess.
No kidding. What dick worth his salt likes seeing his own photos shown trailing a "star". lol. Egads, right out of SPY V. SPY.
