The age of celebrity is dead

Come friendly bombs and fall on Hollywood, it isn’t fit for doing good. Another year, another dreadful Oscars, another round of moral lectures from the beautiful people. It’s all so tiresome. The only reason most people pay attention to these irritating award ceremonies is precisely so that they can be irritated.

So there was a vegan theme at this year’s Academy Awards. So the show had no host. So Brad Pitt is angry about impeachment. So someone said ‘workers of the world unite’. So Joaquin Phoenix is mad (in all senses) about what mankind is doing to the animal kingdom. So Natalie Portman, in what she called ‘my subtle way’, had the names of the women directors who weren’t nominated for awards sewn into her dress.

She was such a beauty.

no kidding, I like old Hollywood and she gets my heart beating a bit faster in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

She was my queen. Her wish was my command!

Stop messing' about, I preferred Amanda Barrie in that roll in Carry On Cleo. (Carpet roll, that is.) ;-)

Did those puppies have any possible sense of how lucky they were?

Excellent article. When you can follow a celebrity daily on social media, they just seem like any ordinary person. Except a lot crazier.
