[pingtheduck]

Read the article and then took the time to watch the clip. I feel bad for the guy. Wow. Get out while you still can. He needs a friend.

We watched him last night. I thought he was going to hit Dave. He was off his rocker.

Who is Joaquin Phoenix and better yet who is David Letterman?

I prefer Craig Ferguson....although he is pushing the boundaries somewhat. He has the potential to usurp Leno and his upstarts only if he draws between the lines.

Being artistic takes talent; being crass is classless and usually reflects one's true persona. Too bad the we could not clone another Carson.

Celebutards: The Hollywood Hacks, Limousine Liberals, And Pandering Politicians Who Are Destroying America
by Andrea Peyser

FOREWORD: WHAT IS A CELEBUTARD?

ce - leb – u – tard (suh – LEB – yu – tard) noun:
A famous person with a grandiose notion of his own importance and contribution to the known universe.

A human being of sub-par intellect, oversized ego and colossal bank account, whose existence represents a drag on the food chain, waste of oxygen and severe annoyance.

An egregious moron. (Origin: from the Latin celebutardus Paris Hiltonus maximum Baldwinus
–
“Sacrificing American soldiers or innocent civilians in an unprecedented pre-emptive attack on a separate, sovereign nation may well prove itself a most temporary medicine.”

— Sean Penn ad in the Washington Post, October 18, 2002.
“I think life’s an irrational obsession.”
— Sean Penn in Entertainment Weekly, August 8, 1997.

Celebutards. They walk among us but they are not of us. They eat, sleep and breed just like ordinary humans. But at some magic moment — between the time, say, a movie script wanders into the hands of a world-class celebutard such as George Clooney, and the words travel through lilting vocal chords to land on unsuspecting ears, something terrible occurs. They start to believe in their own ignorance.

A dull thinker such as Madonna becomes, in her mind and in the eyes of devoted fans, a self-appointed sage. Veritable moron Rosie O’Donnell transforms from a shrill, gay mom into a rocket scientist. Sean Penn boldly breaks bread with tyrants and enemies of his own country, vapid pop singer Sheryl Crow calls for rationing toilet paper to one sheet per sitting, and earth avenger Al Gore forgets he lost an election. Give a celebutard a microphone and a little encouragement, and suddenly, without warning, that talented performer says and does things that are really, incredibly, grotesquely dumb.

Just watched the video clip...he is high as a kite! Look at the body antics; the dark glasses give it away though. Why not bow out gracefully, rather than pretend all is well?

Poor chap needs help; where are his 10% agents now? Probably laughing all the way to the bank!! Grr!

Hub and I agree Icini. We can only imagine that an appearance was negotiated by a bunch of suits. Probably his handlers were "er...guys? I don't think we should do this..". It's really sad when you look back maybe 15 years when his brother, River, died of an OD. Tough business.

And Ranch... I'd never heard celebutard till today.. are we seeing the long awaited blow back from ions of talking tan lines? "Dull thinker" is a great phrase..

I heard today that some people think he may have been acting.

We watched the show last night. Hub thinks he was acting. I don't.
