| Gary Oldman SLAMS <b>Hollywood</b> Hypocrisy and PC <b>...</b> - <b>Gossip</b> Cop Posted: 23 Jun 2014 03:16 PM PDT  (Getty Images) Gary Oldman slams Hollywood hypocrites and political correctness in a Playboy interview, defending the racist and homophobic slurs made by the likes of Mel Gibson and Alec Baldwin while wondering what would happen if he called Nancy Pelosi a "f*cking useless c*nt." The Dawn of the Planet of the Apes star is asked about the movie's vision of apocalypse and his own view of the (real) future. "I think we're up sh*t creek without a paddle or a compass," he tells the outlet. How so? Oldman says, "Culturally, politically, everywhere you look. I look at the world, I look at our leadership and I look at every aspect of our culture and wonder what will make it better. I have no idea. Any night of the week you only need to turn on one of these news channels and watch for half an hour. Read the newspaper. Go online. Our world has gone to hell." He slams "helicopter parents who overschedule their children." "There's never any unsupervised play to develop skills or learn about hierarchy in a group or how to share," he laments. "The kids honestly believe they are the center of the f*cking universe. But then they get out into the real world and it's like, 'Sh*t, maybe it's not all about me,' and that leads to narcissism, depression and anxiety." The actor says, "These are just tiny examples, grains of sand in a vast desert of what's f*cked-up in our world right now. As for the people who pass for heroes in entertainment today, don't even get me started." "Reality TV to me is the museum of social decay. And what passes for music — it's all on that plateau," continues Oldman. "Who's the hero for young people today? Some idiot who can't f*cking sing or write or who's shaking her ass and twerking in front of 11-year-olds." But Oldman's complaints have more to do with politics than pop culture. Asked about Mel Gibson's turbulent last few years, Oldman says, "I just think political correctness is crap. That's what I think about it. I think it's like, take a f*cking joke. Get over it." "I don't know about Mel. He got drunk and said a few things, but we've all said those things," continues the actor. "We're all f*cking hypocrites. That's what I think about it. The policeman who arrested him has never used the word n*gger or that f*cking Jew?" He says, "I'm being brutally honest here. It's the hypocrisy of it that drives me crazy. Or maybe I should strike that and say 'the N word' and 'the F word,' though there are two F words now." Speaking of that other f-word… "Alec [Baldwin] calling someone an F-*-G in the street while he's pissed off coming out of his building because they won't leave him alone. I don't blame him," explains Oldman. "So they persecute. Mel Gibson is in a town that's run by Jews and he said the wrong thing because he's actually bitten the hand that I guess has fed him — and doesn't need to feed him anymore because he's got enough dough." The star says Gibson is "like an outcast, a leper, you know? But some Jewish guy in his office somewhere hasn't turned and said, 'That f*cking kraut" or 'F*ck those Germans,' whatever it is? We all hide and try to be so politically correct. That's what gets me." "It's just the sheer hypocrisy of everyone, that we all stand on this thing going, 'Isn't that shocking?'" At this point, Oldman is asked about the pope. "Oh, f*ck the pope!" he tells Playboy, laughing. "So this interview has gone very badly. You have to edit and cut half of what I've said, because it's going to make me sound like a bigot." He explains, "I'm defending all the wrong people. I'm saying Mel's all right, Alec's a good guy. So how do I come across? Angry?" "It's dishonesty that frustrates me most," says Oldman. "I can't bear double standards. It gets under my skin more than anything." The problem, he explains, is that "more and more, people in this culture are able to hide behind comedy and satire to say things we can't ordinarily say, because it's all too politically correct." Oldman says:
And it doesn't end there with double standards. "It's our culture now, absolutely," Oldman tells the outlet. "At the Oscars, if you didn't vote for 12 Years a Slave you were a racist. You have to be very careful about what you say. I do have particular views and opinions that most of this town doesn't share, but it's not like I'm a fascist or a racist. There's nothing like that in my history." So what are his politics? "I would say that I'm probably a libertarian if I had to put myself in any category. But you don't come out and talk about these things, for obvious reasons," says Oldman. He's asked what America would look like if Hillary Clinton were president. "What can I say? I feel we need some real leadership, and it's nowhere in sight," says Oldman. "Look at what's happening right now. John Kerry going off to China to talk about North Korea? What's that going to do? The ludicrousness of it. What a waste of money. You're going to go to the puppeteer and say, 'Can you help me with the puppet?'" He adds, "As far as Hillary, I guess I feel like my character in The Contender, Shelly Runyon. He doesn't want Joan Allen to become president; he just believes she isn't the right person for the job. It's nothing to do with the fact that she's a woman, but he uses a bit of dirt on her to bring her down." Oldman also has no use for the Golden Globes. "It's a meaningless event. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is kidding you that something's happening," he explains. "They're f*cking ridiculous. There's nothing going on at all. It's 90 nobodies having a wank. Everybody's getting drunk, and everybody's sucking up to everybody. Boycott the f*cking thing." What about the Academy Awards? Oldman says, "The Oscars are different. But it's showbiz. It's all showbiz. That makes me sound like I've got sour grapes or something, doesn't it?" What do you think about Oldman's comments?

| Jeremy Meeks, Hot Mug Shot Guy, Speaks Out: I'm Married! And Not <b>...</b> Posted: 20 Jun 2014 10:33 AM PDT Jeremy Meeks, a convicted felon whose hot mug shot went viral this week, is speaking out from jail about his bizarre 15 minutes of fame - and his incarceration. Speaking to ABC's local affiliate in Sacramento, Calif., Jeremy Meeks said that he learned of his sudden Internet popularity after chatting with his wife. Yes, he's married. Sorry ladies.  Jeremy Meeks Mug Shot "Well I appreciate [the attention]," Meeks, 30, said from behind a glass wall. "But I just want them to know that this is really not me, I'm not some kingpin." Meeks' mugshot set the Internet ablaze after the Stockton, Calif., Police Department posted his picture to its official Facebook page on Wednesday. Meeks and four others were arrested in a gang-related bust, dubbed Operation Ceasefire, a combined effort between federal and local police authorities. His mom Katherine Angier insists her son is no thug, though, talking to the web to plead her case. "Please help," Angier wrote of her son's $900,000 (!!) bail. "My son was taken into custody on his way to work," Meeks' mother adds. "He is a working man with a son. He is being stereotyped due to old tattoos."  "He's my son and he is so sweet," she wrote. Meeks' mother posted photos of Jeremy with his little boy, 3, pleading his case to the public: "Please help him to get a fair trial or else he'll be railroaded." As of Friday afternoon, she's raised $418. Meeks' sister, meanwhile, says that Meeks was only armed at the time for protection purposes and has been a practicing Christian for seven years. He's also been married four years and is a good family man, she insists, though Stockton PD spokesman Joseph Silva counters that Meeks is no saint. In fact, the police say he's "one of the most violent criminals in the Stockton area." Not a model citizen, they say, even if he has model-good looks. Jeremy Meeks looking HOT in court. No seriously, those orange jumpsuits are really a fiery color. They also aren't cotton and don't breathe. |

| Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard: MARRIED!!! - The <b>Hollywood Gossip</b> Posted: 22 Jun 2014 03:45 AM PDT Jill Duggar, the second daughter in the enormous Duggar family of 19 Kids & Counting fame, married Derick Dillard Saturday in front of (lots of) family and friends. More than 1,000 people in all were on hand to witness Jill, 23, become the first daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar to tie the knot with fiance Derick, 25. The wedding vows were sealed with a kiss - their first ever!  Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard were greatly anticipating that. "I think it is safer and makes it more special to wait to kiss until your wedding day," Jill said of saving her first kiss for marriage, as shown on her TLC show. [UPDATE: See the married couple's first kiss photo below!] "To save the physical side of your marriage for your wedding day and not going further than you should ... we both just want to have no regrets." That was all good with Derick, who adds, "You can really get to know each other on every level without the physical part of it. I am the most blessed man to have Jill." The happy couple plans to honeymoon at an undisclosed location. At their wedding, five Duggar sisters were bridesmaids, two brothers were groomsmen, and more siblings, nieces and nephews served as flower girls and ring bearers. It was one major Duggar family affair, through and through, for Jill.  The previous day, volunteers gathered to help with decorations, get food ready for the reception and help organize the church in anticipation of the event. The big event went down in their hometown of Springdale, Ark. "I've been crying half the day, so I'm making jokes to keep from crying," Jim Bob said at the rehearsal dinner, where guests took turns sharing memories and advice. One wedding present they already received? The couple admitted to adding cereal on their wedding registry in a moment when hunger took over. "We were hungry while we were making our registry and we gravitated over to the cereal section," Dillard said, laughing. "We picked about five types of cereal." "We actually already got some." Congratulations to the couple on that awesome gift, and more significantly on finding the one to spend the rest of their lives and make tons of babies with. Tons and tons of babies. The Arkansas natives grew up within 45 minutes of each other, but didn't meet until late 2011. Jill recalled when Derick stopped by while caroling with a church group, and not long after, "Derick contacted my dad and asked if he would be a prayer partner during his two-year term in Nepal." |
