Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I find it humorous that the very same posters who constantly whine about the opinions of celebrities are all of a sudden all happy about THIS celebrity, his opinion and the platform he used. I may not like Kid Rock's politics but I've never said he should just shut up and sing.

Bunch of hypocrites.



It's a cheap shot because that's the most overused, generic "comeback" from people nowadays. It's holds no value. It's like when someone voices their opinion on a recording artist's music by saying they don't like it, and someone replies, "where's your album/#1 song?" It's just a lame retort. I could easily flip it back on you. What about you? Are YOU curing cancer maciesmom? See how stupid that sounds? Hollywood forgets that we help pay these actors their salaries, as well as keeping their careers afloat. So I have every right to comment or voice my opinion on whatever it is they speak on.



The problem with these celebrities is that their fame gets to their head, and they suddenly think having that star power makes them an all wise-knowing being. Look, I'm all for the ones who donate to good causes, give back to their communities, visiting a sick child at the hospital, etc. But when you have people like Rachel McGowan who's apologizing for an assassination of a terrorist, Robert DeNiro using every bit of camera time to bring up Trump, or Taylor Swift shoehorning LBGT topics and their community into her latest album as a promotional tool, then we have a problem. Just because you have an accessible platform to speak to us "regular people," doesn't mean you should always use it. Half of them have no idea what they're saying most of the time.

He is, but not on this level. He knew he wasn’t coming back next year. I guess if you call watching a bunch of Hollywood elite sit around with their fake laughs and squirm in front of the camera a victory, then I’m okay with that.

What a bunch of hypocrites and cry babies.

Michelle was married to an opioid addicted actor who died of an overdose. Trump is the only President who is actively doing something to prevent more people to get addicted by changing the laws.

Michelle, clearly was enabling her husband and didn’t care of his overdose or she would support the President!

I will skip her movies just as I won’t view the Irishmen and so many other of the crazy actors movies...

That is my choice!
Um you do know Michelle Williams was separated from Ledger at the time of his death. You and I know nothing of what she enabled or didn't. You made up a story in your head to support your feelings.

What has Trump done?

That's his schtick every year he has done this. 'I don't care if they don't ask me back."

It's the schtick.

They hire him knowing exactly what they are going to get. He is brutal all the time...it is who he is.

Well, whatever the case, I don't think he's going to be standing in the soup line any time soon.

Of course not. But I'm not the one implying that only those who are curing cancer (or the moral/intellectual equivalent) are worthy of having and sharing opinions.

It was just truly refreshing to see, even if he is a leftist. The elite zombies in the audience didn't know whether to laugh or be offended, so you were left with a hilariously uncomfortable room of people. It was great and it does not happen nearly enough in real life.

Exactly, Hanks looked like he needed some ex-lax.
