There is another stand-up star, that through non-press word of mouth, was caught pleasuring himself on an airplane, in his regular seat, not in the BR, some thirty or so years ago.


He also (before his mass fame) asked a date of his back at her(?) place for some oral sex.

She refused, went to the bathroom, returned, and found him sitting on the couch making an I don't need you for a happy ending statement.

The source was pretty reliable, so I don't know if charges were filed, or a settlement was made, as it never surfaced.

After all of this unearthing of terrible behavior, I sincerely hope that Tom Hanks is as good of a dude as he seems. If it turns out that he's a sleazebag, my celebrity world will be shook.

I just might watch the Oscars this year. It will be interesting to see if they continue on the same vein of "We are the mighty entertainers. We are here to lecture you on what is wrong with the world."

Yeah, me, too. One by one, they are falling.


Hollywood is a sleazy world. I don't know why anybody is surprised.

There is no doubt this list will continue to grow, and we are seeing it change on an almost daily basis.

I hope they Roast all these famous people who are guilty, literally! No doubt, money talks and lets you walk!

Will be interesting to see how these famous people will most likely not face jail time, and if they do, possible a very easy going low security facility.

Funny you should say that, I've been expecting to hear something against him but I have no reason.
Just a strange feeling.

There is a non-written symbiosis of sorts that has been going on in Hollywood for many decades. The awards shows will find a way to gloss over the current news, via a joke or two, or not even mentioning it.


The days are pretty much gone where everyday people become stars.

Those people are still utilized, but they pretty much appear in non-show-biz-based reality shows.


Before you get a major role, or even a couple of lines, I would almost bet that either the powerful people already know about you, or check you out before they give you a whole new persona, that you may be willing to do anything to get and keep.

William Frawley was a perfect example of the old-school actor.

It was only a paying job for him, and he spoke unfavorably of Hollywood any chance he got, to anyone who would listen.
