Why does every celeb I like have to fuck me over with their hypocrisy???? WHY???
*
From Molly Good..Leonardo DiCaprio, who won’t stop whining about storks choking on oil and baby bears having fevers or whatever, in March spearheaded a campaign to create a national “Do Not Mail Registry” to cut down on America’s paper-wasting junk mail. But just this week, writer turned snitch Philip Recchia received in the mail an envelope - with DiCaprio’s name in the return address space - full of solicitations for the Natural Resource Defense Council’s “Polar Bear S.O.S.” campaign. Whoops!
DiCaprio’s rep says Leo’s “environmental commitment is unending.

Oh, man, why why why do celebs think they can tell us what to do to live right and save the planet when they endorse the opposite? I don't think I can take much more of their "unending commitments." Neither can the planet.

Simply because they have a smug, self-entitled and elitist attitude about themselves ( Scarlett Johanssen comes to mind right away). He probably has someone whispering in his ear about the plight of the planet. Look at Gore's electricity bill. He has made hundreds of millions of dollars from his "planet fever" movie so full of hype it was taken off school curriculums in the UK. What's gonna happen when the Goracle's prophecies prove false in 20 years or less?. Shouldnt he pay a windfall tax?. We can all live cleaner and be aware of our carbon footprint, it's our responsibility. But stay out of my ear when you don't practice what you preach. I hope Leo starts dating Tom Jones.
"I hope Leo starts dating Tom Jones." LMAO!
DD you must realize that celebs don't give final approval on everything that a charity does. Just because one has his name attached doesn't mean he approves of every single thing they do to raise money, etc, it just means he shares their belief in preserving bear habitats, or whatever.
Many charities he supports probably don't even know that he is trying to reduce junk mailings.
This isn't hypocrisy, it's gaps in communication and ethics between Leo and the dozens or more people making hundreds of decisions at the charities.
Louis B. Mayer, wherefore art thou?
This crap didn't happen under his watch. In a way, I yearn for the days where celebrities (back then, they were called "actors") had to submit to the whims of the studio bosses.
In the days of the "studio system", stars had to WORK to maintain their position on the "totem pole of talent."
They were paid an annual salary, had to abide to a strict contract detailing everything from their personal relationships, their appearance... they even had to adhere to a strict "morals clause" in most cases. And if they got out of line, (Frances Farmer comes to mind)-- whammo! They were out, or worse.
It was unfair, to be sure... which is why changes were made and stars became "free agents", but in those days stars for the most part *KEPT THEIR MOUTHS SHUT* and did their JOBS. And they were grateful to BE stars! They didn't use their star status as a platform for soapboxing about politics and the economy and the environment.
At a time when most people were trying to get enough to eat... "stars" knew they damn lucky for their positions.
Don't get me wrong; I believe an actor should be paid commensurate to what their part will generate in dollars. If a film makes 120 million, why shouldn't it's featured player be paid accordingly?
My issue is only with (as anon @ 9:10 put it) the "smug, self-entitled & elitist" attitude that seems to grow, along with their paycheck.
they all belong to the 'do as i say, not as i do' school....fucktards....
like al gore travels the world in a private jet to talk about global warming....and you know damn well tipper gore ain't hanging clothes out to dry, but they tell us too...
fucktards...all of 'em...
"What's gonna happen when the Goracle's prophecies prove false in 20 years or less?"
One can only hope they do prove false in 20 years, but if you had half a brain you would know that "prophecies" from 20 years ago HAVE proved to be correct. That's WHY the ice is melting and polar bears are decreasing in numbers and thats why people like Leo are using their celebrity to try and enlighten people (although thickheads like you make the entire exercise useless and futile). AT LEAST they are trying. You on the other hand are you so dumb and blinkered that you obviously haven't been looking around much lately (apart from reading about celebrities). Gutless coward that you are. Face reality and listen to what these people are trying to tell you, its the truth.
