Just moments after actress Scarlett Johansson became the ambassador of Israeli company SodaStream, the celebrity was already being criticized for supporting a business that operates in the West Bank.

“While shes openly gunning for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton...”

Some of them actually have jobs?

Once heard of a six year old boy who came home from school one warm spring day.
“Mommy, my teacher leaned over to tell me something today, and her “lungs” fell out of her chest.”
If the ProgTards hate it so much, I have to get one...
She is kinduh bubbly...
I gotta get me somb uh that.
Well, not really.
She lives up the road with the Shiite Head Sean Penn and she’ll be rot by the time she’s back on the market...
That's long over with, although I'm sure she is shacked up with someone equally deplorable. Meantime Shiite Head Penn is bedding Chalize Theron. This wonderful /s couple was recently in the news as Ms. Theron convinced Mr. Penn to give up his gun collection to some Artist whom is going to disable them and then make some kind of oddball statue or something to that effect.
