My problem with a modern celebrity like Chrissy Teigen is that in addition to being absurdly rich she also wants to be perceived as a good person. These things are not compatible. You’ve gotta pick one or the other. Paris Hilton understood this.

Norm Macdonald and Bob Saget weren't in the Oscar death montage. Perhaps it's because they weren't primarily known as "movie people." Or perhaps it's because, despite this, they made the greatest movie of all time, Dirty Work (1998), and Hollywood never forgave them for it.

Once I saw Norm Macdonald in Toronto and he kept doing jokes about death. Someone yelled "No more morbid stuff!" And Norm said, "Maybe I should do... more morbid stuff!" And then he did maybe 15 minutes about how he would hang himself. "First I'd go to the rickety stool store..."

Basically, Scorsese and Spielberg are the two guys with both the power and the passion to call up studio executives and politely ask them to stop burning 35mm film negatives for a tax write-off, so it's great for the future of cinema that they're 97 and 95 years old, respectively

The blast killing hundreds at a hospital in Gaza is deeply wrong. I grieve for each person lost. There’s no excuse for the deaths of people seeking care and those who treated them. International law is clear: Innocent civilians must be protected & have access to humanitarian aid.

Tom Cruise is one of the last celebrities who still feels like a celebrity. He’s not chatting with the fans on Twitter. That time he saw Tenet was probably the first time he was out in public in 25 years. He just trains for his big stunts and tends to his Scientology slave army.

@responsiblerob Tom was right to lay down the law here. Also I cannot imagine having this man talk to me this way. I would start crying. He's so scary.
