Fake news. It is the celebrities who are boycotting Trump. They are the ones who have declared war.
These idiot “celebrities” should try to remeber what happened to the Dixie Chicks after they went full-on anti-American rant in England while on tour10 years ago. They went from the top to the bottom in a few months. Americans are even less forgiving now of their leftist bullshit. I guarantee you that a lot of these idiots are going to be crying in their soup because they were dumb enough to take a stand while believing the propaganda campaign of the left and the MSM. Middle Class America isn’t fooling around anymore.
What is with the country stars? Are they all chicken? Garth refused to play. Kind of makes me sick.
agree
Beautiful! That was magnificent.
Elton John and Celine Dion are foreigners, why would be want foreign citizens entertaining at the inauguration of the President of the U.S.A.? There have to be true blue Americans who would be willing to entertain their fellow Americans.
Gee, I wonder what the Leftist talking points are right now?
Trump vs celebrities maybe?
What a hoot. Ankle biters...
Never heard of it.
or that SNL is unwatchable
It's never funny.
or that Lena Dunham has no mojo
All she has is filth. (and fat)
How would the Atlantic know anything? They’re kicked out of the WH press pool as soon as Trump take office.
Exactly.... given Trump's track record over the past year, one would think that the celebritards would know better but of course they don't. This isn't going to end well for them and I for one couldn't enjoy it more.
The author doesn’t see the irony in claiming that performers reflect the culture, and yet those same performers seem to be uniformly against the very politician who roughly half the electorate selected. Wouldn’t one expect that roughly half of performers would willingly agree to perform?
So the notion that Hollywood reflects the electorate is bogus. The truth is that Hollywood reflects the same coastal states which supported Hillary. Hollywood is just as insulated from the PEOPLE as the MSM is insulated from the people.
Aside from the fact that the author was not astute enough to pick up on the above irony, he goes on to make up his own facts. For instance, for the last story, apparently ONE dancer was vocal in opposition to appearing. The named person who was quoted was not a member of the group. Rush states that the woman with qualms need not show up since there was a wait list of dancers waiting to take her place.
Finally, Rush contends that the reason that Garth and the Beach Boys have demurred is that Hollywood is engaging in a “blacklist”. You know, one of those evil lists which is only used by McCarthyites. [I know, I know, I am quite aware that McCarthy and the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities performed the thankless chore of expunging communists from government and Hollywood. But smearing someone by associating them with McCarthy is what THEY would do. I’m into irony! :) ]
I’ll bet there is some great talent in Russia, Israel and South America.
And so is everyone in flyover country. They HATE these celebrities who live in a "bubble" of the entertainment industry, totally isolated with the concerns of middle Americans.
All those who refused to perform should have their names published so they can be punished. No White House invitations. Trump needs his own papers dedicated to destroying each and every star who dissed him—and elevating all who helped. Remember what William Randolph Hearst did to Orson Wells after Citizen Kane? All who support Trump should boycott these “stars” Don’t Go to their movies, consents or buy CDs. Let the Democrats support them.
IOW, the truth about most of these people will put them on the "Losers A-List".
“The president-elects camp have denied thats the case, but Elton John, Celine Dion, and KISS are among those whove publicly rejected rumors that theyd play....”
Let’s make up some news again. You’ll notice that they didn’t say they weren’t playing, or if they were even asked. Just that the rumors saying they would are false.
Why does this crap go anywhere? The mag it came out of is owned by David Bradley, who in the 2008 U.S. presidential primaries he donated $4,300 to Hillary Clinton and $2,300 to Barack Obama. Another lib hit piece.

SUGGESTION TO THE TRUMP CAMP
Have tryouts on RIGHT SIDE NETWORK and let We the People vote on who we want to perform on Inauguration Day.>>>>>
great suggestion. like to see some real people who can perform. not just a bunch of a*******s
Since celebrities make their millions from the people... they are banking on enough idiots to buy tickets to see their talents.>>> very true i notice on netflix there are movies that are not mainstream. ie a movie on “the last King” of norway that was great. no dollars to hollywood on that one.
