NICOLE Kidman has made a public stand against terrorism.
The actress, joined by 84 other high-profile Hollywood stars, directors, studio bosses and media moguls, has taken out a powerfully-worded full page advertisement in today's Los Angeles Times newspaper.
It specifically targets "terrorist organisations" such as Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Palestine.
"We the undersigned are pained and devastated by the civilian casualties in Israel and Lebanon caused by terrorist actions initiated by terrorist organisations such as Hezbollah and Hamas," the ad reads.
"If we do not succeed in stopping terrorism around the world, chaos will rule and innocent people will continue to die.
"We need to support democratic societies and stop terrorism at all costs."
A who's who of Hollywood heavyweights joined Kidman on the ad.
The actors listed included: Michael Douglas, Dennis Hopper, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Danny De Vito, Don Johnson, James Woods, Kelly Preston, Patricia Heaton and William Hurt.
Directors Ridley Scott, Tony Scott, Michael Mann, Dick Donner and Sam Raimi also signed their names.
Other Hollywood powerplayers supporting the ad included Sumner Redstone, the chairman and majority owner of Paramount Pictures, and billionaire mogul, Haim Saban.

Is this from Hollywood,
California?!?
Sean Penn must be having a coronary over this.

I think most of this group was known as the most conservative (least liberal?) members in Hollywood. Michael Douglas and Kelly Preston are a little surprise to me. Isn't Preston married to John Travolta? Is he on the list, I wonder.
Michael Douglas, Dennis Hopper, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Danny De Vito, Don Johnson, James Woods, Kelly Preston, Patricia Heaton and William Hurt.

Nice that they used their own money to make a show of support against terror.

Hezbollah and Hamas must be terrified.
Danny De Vito is joining 84 others actors in denouncing their actions.

Its a change and in some ways "neutralizes" the lefties in the media.
To: derllak
It won't help the "there is no threat"/Bush conspiracy brigade!

Michael Douglas? Seriously? Most of the others aren't too much of a surprise... He's Jewish.
To: Aussie Dasher
She did a great job in one of the best terrorist movies ever...the Cheesemaker, errr Peacemakers.

Nicole's seeing things much more clearly now that she's out of that crazy scientology cult and back
into the Catholic Church.

It will help. Those who are afraid to speak out in Hollywood will be encouraged. Those who blather on endlessly about how the US is the worst terrorists of all, they will maybe have a second thought. It is a bold move, I applaud them.

Producer Sam Raimi...GO SAM GO! He's a big GOP supporter...thank you!
About time the Hollywood'ers put down their bongs and their Prada goodie bags and reached in and found some good old common sense. How about making some PRO-AMERICAN movies?
This is a great story. I'm wondering who the other names are.
