surely the best celebrity idiocy quote of all time has to be this one from Mariah "queen of the underprivileged" Carey on, of all things, famine in Africa:
"I'd love to be skinny like that but not with all those flies and death and stuff." I pray that this is just an urban myth.
Anyway, the Diaz quote reminded me of the
"Liberals want to ban the bible" thing sent out by the Republican party. Now that's really far out there!
As for celebrity rock stars and actors expressing opinions, I've got no problem with that. After all, talk show hosts and newspaper columnists didn't get elected or pass an exam - they just have opinions and express them (as long as they don't conflict with those of the media outlet's owner). The problem with actors commenting on politics is that if they've got a film out then they can be seen as publicity seeking and if they don't then they're a loser who nobody wants to listen to.
