It seems like every couple of weeks there is a new out of work washed up celebrity from the 70's, 80's, or 90's who makes an outrageous claim. Are they bitter because they haven't had work in over a decade? Are they trying to get back into the limelight and hope for a reality show? What gives?

Some of them are paying Obama back for the invitations to the White House and special parties he's thrown Hollywood. Others think they are more relevant than any other taxpayer. I suspect the narcissists from Hollywood feel a kindred spirit with their Narcissist-in-Chief who himself idolizes them.

Nothing new at all, the political tactic is as old as motion pictures themselves.

If you are trying to bring Clint Eastwood into the game remember that he has a new movie coming at us in about 10 days. He directed it and acted in it and I will certainly try to see it above any new ones that have come out in the last month.
