During his speech, Pitt also got political, calling out the Trump impeachment trial for blocking the testimony of former national security adviser John Bolton.

Celebrities thrive on attention. Their status is derived from attention. People who want to stop being their scapegoat and whipping boy should starve them of attention and refuse to be goaded.

[a fool in paradise]

They called Bush II a fascist and Reagan and Nixon.

yawn

[pacificus]

Unless the dogs on Pitt!

Give him a tiny taste of what Trump deals with 24-7!

Bring his a$$ down to earth!

[caww]

Pitt has his own demons to deal with.......not too bright spouting off politically. Needs to stay in his own lane...if he can do so without falling of his wagon.

Betty Zane, more of an "eastern" than a western, set in 1772 in what is now Wheeling, WV, and involving some of Grey's ancestors, along with some other historical figures of the time. I have been reading a lot of western fiction the past couple of years. I was able to buy a lot of Grey's works for 99 cents on Kindle. I started with Riders of the Purple Sage and then its sequel, The Desert Crucible. I have also taken an interest in the pioneer history west of the Appalachians, and I wanted to see what he did with historical fiction in that area. Betty Zane is very good. Next up, its sequel, The Spirit of the Border

There was an article on Breitbart I believe yesterday that mentioned many of the stars’ acceptance speeches were being written this year by political speechwriters. The reason given was to ostensibly keep them from saying stupid s**t...

...but then again.

Now we know why Jennifer Aniston divorced him...
Plus she said he was no good in bed : )
Rumor that is.

You are right about that. Want to know what’s funny?

I didn’t watch the awards, I watched ‘Pale Rider’ instead! :)

Brad Pitt - now there’s a public policy expert if there ever was one.

[lurk]

Mr Pitt does not know how impeachment works. The House dems might have heard Bolton testify, if they were patient. It might also have been a nothingburger.

Inconvenient facts.

[EdnaMode]

Why didn’t the House call him as a witness, Brad? And what does this have to do with the movie you won an Oscar for?

[EdnaMode]

I think they’re also writing the celebrities’ tweets too. Everything always contains the same exact talking points.

[windsorknot]

Forget it, Jake. It’s Hollywood, Adam Schitt country.

[EdnaMode]

Great point. Totally agreed!

[UnwashedPeasant]

Pitt is a great actor.

Great actors are often insane.

They can believe things they know are not true.

[EnglishOnly]

Who care what Hollywood does or says.

Movie theaters are empty.

Brad Pitt is Boring!

zzzzzzzz.....not taking the advice Ricky Gervais gave last month

Yep......but they’re so self-absorbed they can’t help themselves and only the brain dead would take anything they say as proof they know what they’re talking about.....good grief!

[Huskrrrr]

Yeta, yeta, woof, woof. Whatever.
