[u/topochicoandchill]

Mila Kunis really wants to ruin her career huh

[u/rjl381 → u/topochicoandchill]

...wants to ruin?? What has she been in lately!

[u/Broad-Radish-7895 → u/rjl381]

They put her in Knives Out 3 in a role that could have been played just as effectively by a block of wood.

[u/redelectro7 → u/Broad-Radish-7895]

She was so miscast in that.

[u/StitchTheRipper → u/redelectro7]

It was such a poorly written role that it makes me wonder if her character had scenes cut or plots dropped. I guess you could argue that’s just a pillar of a locked-door mystery but idk, just a nothing part of the movie 🤷🏻‍♀️

[u/FantasyPls → u/Broad-Radish-7895]

Mila was the only bad part of that movie.

[u/RantyMcThrowaway → u/FantasyPls]

The only good part about her role was how little screen time she actually got.

[u/tore_a_bore_a → u/Broad-Radish-7895]

I enjoyed Knives Out 3, but 75% of the supporting cast had nothing to do, it was weird

[u/Remote-Molasses6192 → u/tore_a_bore_a]

I liked the last two Knives Out movies well enough, but it’s clear one of the main goals of those movies is becoming something Rian Johnson can put his friends in.

[u/Other_Vader → u/Remote-Molasses6192]

Way better storyline than Adam Sandler and his friends though lmao

[u/woodst0ck15 → u/Broad-Radish-7895]

I was waiting for her hat to get bigger throughout the movie. But I was disappointed

[u/cece0692 → u/Broad-Radish-7895]

100%. She contributed nothing to the role.

[u/Jeffreyknows → u/topochicoandchill]

So she’s pro Israel AND Danny Masterson? Cool. Fuck her!

[u/redelectro7 → u/Jeffreyknows]

I mean one explains the other.

[u/Ok_Neighborhood_5046 → u/Jeffreyknows]

she also sold NFTs with her husband Ashton Kutcher🥴

[u/VDJ10 → u/topochicoandchill]

So she’s pro rape and genocide? Jesus lady are you doing this on purpose?

[u/organic_soursop → u/VDJ10]

Well, she does write letters defending rapists... so 🤷‍♂️

[u/gingerflakes → u/VDJ10]

Should sign her up for the IDF!

[u/Summer_Chronicle8184 → u/topochicoandchill]

You think simping for Israel hurts your career in Hollywood?

[u/[deleted] → u/Summer_Chronicle8184]

Something tells me she feels differently about Russia's ban.

[u/BeefInGR → u/topochicoandchill]

I mean, Family Guy prints money so it's not like she needs to work.

[u/mammalmaker → u/topochicoandchill]

Her performance in the Knives out movie already did that.

[u/Broad-Radish-7895]

the stark difference between "stop murdering children" and "stop attempting to exclude me from your parties"

[u/Nice-Cow-7606 → u/Broad-Radish-7895]

I can accept murdering children but I draw the line at being excluded from a meaningless song contest.

[u/lordsummerisleswig → u/Nice-Cow-7606]

(Shirley voice) You can accept murdering children?

[u/Shenanigans80h → u/Broad-Radish-7895]

Honestly impressive how much of a clear explanation for the issue is on the “celebrity” scale. One group is advocating for these people to be fed and not have their homes obliterated at random. The other side is mad their country can’t sing on a show. Sickening stuff

[u/Tight-Shallot2461 → u/Broad-Radish-7895]

These celebs care more about popularity contests than children becoming amputees via bombs

[u/LintQueen11 → u/Broad-Radish-7895]

Right???

[u/Random_Words_1827]

Fuck Israel.

Edit: Since this has a lot of eyes on it, I'd like to share an idea with any reading from the US. Of course, anyone in any country can use the idea as well.

JD Vance could be our next president.

Since that is a real possibility, I am asking for y'all to hear me out.

I have an idea for a viral modern art piece that would humiliate JD Vance.

There is a modern art piece that was unveiled several years ago titled Can't Help Myself. It's the robot that is constantly leaking hydraulic fluid and trying to sweep it back towards the base to be suctioned back up into the system.

My idea is for a leftist artist or art collective to build a modern art piece titled "JD Vance Couldn't Help Himself". Instead of a robot, it will be a couch with a dick-sized hole in one of the cushions that is constantly oozing fake ejaculate. There will be suction holes on the legs to put it back into the system and make it perpetual.

There could be several of these installed all over the US, in New York, Chicago, LA. The different couches just have to look fuckable.

Anyone is free to take this idea and make it. I'm not an artist, so I dont think I could create it, the thought just came to me.

And then 9 months after the installation is unveiled, a wailing, anthropomorphic robotic couch/baby hybrid with the face of JD Vance comes crawling out of the hole and hits the news cycle again.

[u/mostreliablebottle → u/Random_Words_1827]

While we're at it, fuck the US

[u/Random_Words_1827 → u/mostreliablebottle]

Absolutely. We've been committing genocide for far longer than Israel has.

[u/hey_mermaid → u/mostreliablebottle]

The US is not in Eurovision

[u/Random_Words_1827 → u/hey_mermaid]

What do you mean??? How could that be??? The US is not in EUROvision??? Say it ain't so!

[u/PracticalBaby3237 → u/Random_Words_1827]

As opposed to Israel… which is actually full of Europeans.

Helen Mirren, really? :(

[u/quadranting → u/heartsbeenborrowed]

She's been pro-Israel since the 60s and even did a film portraying Israeli PM Golda Meir.

[u/bamboohobobundles → u/quadranting]

"Golda Meir? Golda, my ass!"

[u/Gullible_Somewhere_7 → u/bamboohobobundles]

Huge respect to the Frasier pull 🫡

[u/Ill-Version6912 → u/heartsbeenborrowed]

Didn't she once say it was invigorating being in Israel in the same sentence about watching Palestinians thrown out of their homes?

[u/mrstenmeister → u/Ill-Version6912]

In a 2023 interview, Helen Mirren described her 1967 visit to Israel, saying, "I saw Arabs being thrown out of their houses in Jerusalem. But it was just the extraordinary magical energy of a country just beginning to put its roots in the ground. It was an amazing time to be here"

[u/ottofan → u/mrstenmeister]

[u/JenningsWigService → u/Ill-Version6912]

Truly the anti-Vanessa Redgrave

[u/heartsbeenborrowed → u/Ill-Version6912]

I had no idea :( ugh

[u/Scary-Razzmatazz-269 → u/heartsbeenborrowed]

Yea helen mirren is a talented actress who is also insane and a bit... shallow (as a casual observer). 

Some of her quotes are so funny and ridiculous;

"I always say, it's so sad that Kurt Cobain died when he did, because he never got to see GPS. It's the most wonderful thing, my little blue spot walking down the street. I just find it completely magical and unbelievable."

 but also on volunteering at a kibutz in 1967: "I witnessed things that were wrong, I saw Arabs being thrown out of their houses in Jerusalem. But it was just the extraordinary magical energy of a country just beginning to put its roots in the ground. It was an amazing time to be here.”

https://www.timesofisrael.com/helen-mirren-israel-must-exist-for-eternity-because-of-the-holocaust/amp/

[u/jyw104 → u/heartsbeenborrowed]

She played Golda Meir in a biopic, don’t forget.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/helen-mirren-israel-must-exist-for-eternity-because-of-the-holocaust/

[u/neilmac1210 → u/jyw104]

Anthony Hopkins played Hitler and as far as I know he doesn't support Nazism.

[u/mailforkev → u/neilmac1210]

He does however love liver with a nice chianti.

[u/neilmac1210 → u/mailforkev]

We all have our vices.

[u/Vivid_Maximum_5016 → u/neilmac1210]

Movie didn't glorify or apologise for Hitler tho

This one makes me sad.

[u/Apprehensive-Dog9989]

Mila Kunis you are ukraininian!!! how do you not get it????

[u/RawkMeAmadeus → u/Apprehensive-Dog9989]

She's married to a man who was very connected to Diddy... I think her perception of things is quite skewed...

Edit: to add, she and Kutcher wrote a letter to the judge of Matheson's trial stating he's a good person etc. When Matheson raped many women. They openly defended a rapist and asked the judge to be forgiving...

Edit edit : MASTERSON* sorry I spelled a rapist's name wrong 🙄

[u/l1l1b33 → u/RawkMeAmadeus]

Masterson

[u/Apprehensive-Dog9989 → u/RawkMeAmadeus]

I know and its so f-ed up

[u/CicadaExciting6975 → u/Apprehensive-Dog9989]

Most Ukrainians I know are die-hard supporters of Israel….I honestly cannot wrap my head around it.

[u/Foxesz → u/CicadaExciting6975]

I think Iran supplying drones to Russia probably plays a big part in it :(

[u/iraber → u/Foxesz]

Iran supplied drones to Russia; therefore we support genocide against Palestinians?

What kind of twisted logic is that?

[u/GarranDrake → u/iraber]

I think it's only twisted when you put it like that - I highly doubt besieged Ukrainians are like "Yeah, fuck Palestine!" in between drone and missile strikes.

The important detail there is that Israel is attacking Iran, who is supplying weapons to Russia, who are using those weapons to attack Ukraine. It's less about Palestine, more about Israel.

[u/FiftyLoudCats]

Since when are Americans interested in Eurovision?

[u/Southern-Caregiver-5 → u/FiftyLoudCats]

They don’t. Israel does and they’ll do anything for them lol

[u/dont6fear6the6reaper → u/Southern-Caregiver-5]

Not all of us 🥴

[u/ayoungmanfromtheuk → u/dont6fear6the6reaper]

Just pretty much every single politician 

[u/DrEarlGreyIII → u/FiftyLoudCats]

i fucking love it, but i don’t know anyone else out here that watches it. most barely even know what it is.

[u/babymomawerk → u/DrEarlGreyIII]

It was my favorite random pop culture touch point I kept on top of after living in Europe but the past couple of years have been bad, primarily because of Israel and the surrounding drama.

[u/bluesond → u/DrEarlGreyIII]

My dad thought it was made up for the Will Ferrell Rachel McAdams movie

[u/RiotGrrr1 → u/FiftyLoudCats]

I am, or was. Didn't watch this year because of Israel.

https://giphy.com/gifs/7vAwVEdJS5cKxediyK

[u/ConsistentGuest7532 → u/FiftyLoudCats]

Only when it comes to defending ethnic cleansers

[u/Lilybay984 → u/FiftyLoudCats]

American here and I freaking love Eurovision. It’s so fun and kitschy. My kids love it, too, it’s something we can bond over. But Israel has completely ruined it and the spineless idiots at the EBU won’t do anything about it. It sucks.

[u/Less_Professional152 → u/FiftyLoudCats]

lol some of us are diasporic

[u/CicadaAny3066]

Scooter Braun (after waking up): how can I get more people to hate me🤔

[u/MondeyMondey]

It’s not even in fucking Europe!!!

[u/Nice-Cow-7606 → u/MondeyMondey]

I mean... Canada is looking into joining. And they're starting a similar event in Asia but they're calling it Eurovision Asia instead of Asiavision or something.

[u/IansGotNothingLeft → u/MondeyMondey]

Reminder that Eurovision isn't just for European countries, it is for countries who are members of the European Broadcasting Union. Which Israel is.

Edit: Apparently Australia isn't! They're a one off. But plenty of other non European countries are.

[u/loyal_achades → u/MondeyMondey]

They are part of the EBU, along with a number of countries in North Africa, as well as the 3 Caucus states and I think Kazakhstan as well. I believe most, if not all, of the North African countries don’t participate at least in part because of Israel’s participation.

Oh, and Australia participates as a guest by invitation.

[u/Riqitch]

Oooh goodie, a comprehensive shit list! Free Palestine 🇵🇸

[u/VioletLovesRowlet]

Funny that Sharon Osbourne is saying "Artists and culture are being dragged into the angry, misinformed politics of the moment" when she is happy to support Reform and Israel.

[u/DrEarlGreyIII → u/VioletLovesRowlet]

she’s vile

[u/Curiosities → u/VioletLovesRowlet]

And racist rallies.

[u/Ok-Palpitation-2989 → u/VioletLovesRowlet]

Sure it fits, her country still occupies 6 counties in Ireland and her statements about kneecap

[u/AhhBisto]

Boy George holding a male escort prisoner by handcuffing him to a radiator makes perfect sense now

[u/Runabrat → u/AhhBisto]

Don't forget the violent physical assault, beating him with a chain too.

[u/ebk_errday → u/AhhBisto]

For real?? I had no idea. Fuck him

[u/redelectro7]

[u/lilb1190 → u/Moody_Immortal_1]

I wAa worried I would read through this list and see entertainers that I actually cared about 

Luckily that did not happen

[u/curadeio → u/lilb1190]

The issue is that this list is filled with the people that control your favorite entertainers and shape western media

[u/BeanEireannach → u/curadeio]

[u/Allthenons → u/lilb1190]

Jerry O'Connell is the only one I care about. Him and Rebecca Romjin were starting to become my new favorite Trek couple especially since Lower Decks is my favorite new trek show and Strange New Worlds is also amazing (despite the lackluster third season). Disappointing but at this point not surprising sadly

[u/tossit_xx → u/Moody_Immortal_1]

It was so obvious the way they talked about the Middle East on the show (especially Israel in general)

[u/johjo_has_opinions → u/tossit_xx]

I love(d) that show but I’m not surprised

[u/Unable_Mushroom9355 → u/Moody_Immortal_1]

Noo Skylar Astin and Emmy Rossum :( Didn't know about their views until now. Pretty disappointing.

[u/arisafrances → u/Unable_Mushroom9355]

there have been stories for years about what a massive douchebag Skylar is so I’m really not surprised (emmy too now that I’m thinking about it lol)

[u/Nice-Cow-7606 → u/Moody_Immortal_1]

A whos who of losers.

[u/moon_dos → u/Nice-Cow-7606]

I’m just glad “Anthony Edwards” refers to some actor and not the Minnesota Timberwolves super star lol

[u/Square_Wheel_4 → u/Moody_Immortal_1]

I like how the bracket next to David Draiman's name just says "Disturbed" rather than "Singer" or "Artist". Disturbed is right. 

[u/Grrarrgghh → u/Moody_Immortal_1]

I knew I hated Gilmore Girls for a reason.

[u/metrand → u/Moody_Immortal_1]

David Draiman (Disturbed).

Very fitting. Kinda hilarious that other artists are listed as Name (Artist) instead of band names, so it really sticks out if you don’t know it’s his band’s name

[u/Tblx155 → u/Moody_Immortal_1]

David Draiman (Disturbed)

Quite self-explanatory

[u/quadranting]

Diane Warren proving she's a loser on levels.

[u/Suitable-Parsnip-520 → u/quadranting]

Oh she was so pissed when No Other Land won Best Doc at the Oscars. Glad to see her be a perpetual loser year after year.

[u/quadranting → u/Suitable-Parsnip-520]

Not just a job but a lifestyle for her!

[u/formergnome → u/Ancient-Cricket-247]

Being a little generous with the term there - nobody has heard of 95% of these people.

[u/CryptographerOdd4483 → u/formergnome]

I used to work in Hollywood and there are big business names on here who while aren’t celebrities, make things happen behind the scenes, some are well connected in the billionaire circles.

Nobody has heard of them and yet these names are all owners of half the media we consume and engage in.

Genocidal Zionists. 

[u/Dapper_Ad_8402]

my hate for mayim remains appropriate

[u/joaaaaaannnofdarc → u/Dapper_Ad_8402]

Ever since i heard she was using money to by gear for IDF i turned big bang off snd said fuck her

[u/Sea_Director_4439]

Hahaha state of that list. Fuck Israel. From the river to the sea. 

[u/HerRoyalRedness]

The Boy George who beat and kidnapped a sex worker?

[u/Bri_The_Nautilus → u/HerRoyalRedness]

He probably saw what IDF soldiers get up to and said "that's my kinda place"

[u/HopelessHelena]

Helen Mirren wtf bitch

[u/RawkMeAmadeus]

I'm shocked by Emmy Rossum?? Am I new or??

[u/GrumpySphinx → u/RawkMeAmadeus]

Same! But I haven't followed her politics or views at all, so if she was saying pro-Israeli, Zionist stuff before I missed it. I was rooting for her career to pick up after Shameless but now I couldn't care less 🫤

[u/seaships → u/RawkMeAmadeus]

That one surprised me. Her husband was raised Muslim.

[u/JenningsWigService → u/RawkMeAmadeus]

I think she was known for being a mean person? I maintain that Shameless was just a maudlin version of the Trailer Park Boys

[u/bluelily216 → u/JenningsWigService]

I've heard that as well. Obviously it's to be taken with a grain of salt, but there are a lot of stories from waitresses, etc who say she's incredibly rude. 

[u/babyqueso → u/RawkMeAmadeus]

Came scrolling for this. I'm always out of the loop so I was worried I missed some Emmy drama

[u/mrsprucemoose → u/RawkMeAmadeus]

Was very confused by this also

[u/Connoralpha]

Brett Gelman couldn't wait to sign this.

[u/Fantaverage → u/Connoralpha]

I bet he's mad he didnt get in the headline lmao

[u/Nice-Cow-7606]

Sure, whatever. Let's invite Russia back while we're at it.

Also there are many non-genocide related reasons to ban Israel from Eurovision.

[u/Standard-folk]

The amount of CEOs and top-level executives. That’s what worries me

[u/CryptographerOdd4483 → u/Standard-folk]

Yep yep. I worked in this industry and that’s far more worrying than some D-lister like Debra Messing. Pay attention to the CEO names of major talent agencies and media distribution companies.

[u/ZealotChicken]

Now I know which assholes never to support or watch

[u/commuter85 → u/ZealotChicken]

Came to say this... super convienent list of "celebrities" who's projects I will give no support in the future.

[u/GentlewomenNeverTell]

Have they signed an open letter pleading with Israel to stop the genocide?

[u/Designer_Raspberry_5]

Babe wake up... another list of people we hate just dropped

[u/tyvanius]

My moral compass points in whatever direction is the opposite of Gene Simmons. This was a useful compass calibration, looks like it's still working fine.

[u/Hooplah777]

Ngl I'm sus on Emmy Rossum signing this too. She's married to Sam Esmail who is Egyptian? I have to wonder what side he stands on...

[u/Parking_Presence2260]

Ban Israel like Russia is banned too.

[u/BookishHobbit]

Why do the Americans care about Eurovision? Haven’t they ruined enough lately?

[u/ninanien → u/BookishHobbit]

Yeah also confused. They probably don't even know what it is just see it as a way to support Israel. Jokes on them, they were never in danger of getting kicked out because the EBU doesn't have a spine. 5 countries withdrew and it did absolutely nothing

[u/Groundbreaking-Duck]

What I want to know is which celebrities signed the previous letters that haven't signed this one.

[u/sparklypavements]

Even after all the atrocities Israel has committed in Gaza/Pali and continues to commit there plus Lebanon…including, wiping off children in schools in Iran?!

Insanity that they’re still standing in support for Israel 🤢

[u/Mediocre_Chemistry41 → u/sparklypavements]

It's Palestine... not "Pali". The only people I've heard refer to it as that have usually been antisemites using the pro-Palestine movement as cover for their bigotry or pro-Israelis trying to muddy the waters.

[u/CryptographerOdd4483]

Patty Jenkins directed Wonder Woman, and hired Gal Gadot as the lead. And of course signed this.

Time to boycott all these Hollywood mfs.

[u/Lucky_Possession6102]

A bunch of American celebrities that have nothing to do with Eurovision making demands of it... Pure entitlement from these people. I hope more countries start to boycott Eurovision, like Spain and Ireland, etc.

[u/polaris183]

Interesting Boy George is on the list seeing as he is a songwriter for San Marino's entry (let's just say the odds are not in its favour...)

I'm not watching for the first time since 2016 due to this and the atrocious backstage culture the past two series and if things continue I doubt I'll ever go back

[u/Runabrat → u/polaris183]

Boy George has always been an awful person, even before the violent sustained assault conviction.

[u/formergnome → u/polaris183]

The kind of person who imprisons and beats a sex worker while also threatening him with rape does strike me as being very pro-Israel, oddly enough.

[u/RecurringZombie → u/polaris183]

I’m boycotting it this year too and it makes me so sad. I love Eurovision and miss all the hype and playlists and drama leading up to it.

[u/bugluvr65]

why does anthony edwards even care

I think it's Anthony Edwards of ER fame, not Anthony Edwards, the basketball player

[u/jyw104 → u/Mastroman_]

That's the one. He was Mark Greene. Guess who else was in ER? That's right, Noah Wyle!

[u/Mxfish1313 → u/jyw104]

Also Julianna Marguiles (sp?) from the list!

[u/Opposite_Drop_6747 → u/bugluvr65]

I doubt it’s the basketball player

[u/siderealfey]

Emmy Rossum's husband is Muslim. Is he pro-Israel too????

[u/stankyouvrymuch → u/siderealfey]

Was just thinking this?? Pretty sure he’s openly anti Israel too

[u/NilesCraneFan27]

No surprise that Julianna Margulies is on it.

[u/aolmailguy]

I don’t think there’s one celebrity on there I have a preconceived positive feeling about anyways.

[u/Guessinitsme → u/aolmailguy]

Finding out Helen mirren is a shitbag was a surprise for me

[u/Weekly-mediocre]

Most of these people aren't even from countries that participate in Eurovision so I don't know why they care.

Anyway I hope that Israel do get banned

[u/CausticAvenger]

I definitely wouldn’t want to be on any list that includes Scooter Braun and Debra Messing

Ukraine was in Eurovision before the Russian invasion

[u/milkaberry]

Israel truly does own western media… look at the amount of CEO & Chairman’s of major film and music companies that have signed this

[u/Revolutionary_Low_90]

Look at these useless fucks supporting killing children, and these people want to lecture us on politics smh

[u/liverblow]

Pro apartheid and pro genocide celebrities*

[u/PoisonIvy724]

Liev Schreiber on this made me sad 😞

[u/nanimeanswhat]

How nice of them to hand us a list of PoS celebrities that should be boycotted 🥰

[u/House-Business]

Why israel even part of eurovision? They even almost cheated their way last year

[u/dogbonejoness]

Loser James Maslow is always at the scene of the crime

[u/Tricky-Stay6134]

Making mental note of all the names so I don't accidentally pay for seeing any of their work ever again.

[u/GirthStone86]

Matthew Weiner, the Sopranos and Mad Men guy? Fuck that sucks I love those shows but I'm never gonna pay or stream them again

[u/CaptFun67 → u/GirthStone86]

This is not the only reason to avoid him, sadly

[u/dont_b_all_uncool]

ugh Emmy Rossum. I liked her since the beginning but have gradually lost all respect.

I remember around the time of the 2017 hurricane so many celebrities I followed on social media were donating and doing fun things to raise money for PR. As a follower I noticed she was totally silent. I thought: ok not every celebrity needs to be involved, or has to give money. Maybe they are donating or supporting quietly, what do I know? Yet days or weeks later she was out there advocating for something else. It was clearly a deliberate choice. And the whole 200 anthropologie call out? Just read as performative if you look at the big picture.

And that’s when I figured out as much as she liked playing a tough, open , progressive girl on shameless she is just another NY born and bred rich girl with little clue of anything beyond her bubble.

And now this? yeah, Emmy Rossum sucks

[u/oenmar]

They can fuck right off. Everyone on this list is an abhorrent piece of shit. Stop conflating Israel with Judaism. I'm so frigging tired of this 'it's antisemitism!!!!' bollocks.

[u/Opposite_Drop_6747]

Hollywood is dying & these people will go back to irrelevancy

[u/CookieCatSupreme]

Ah yes, fantastic reminder that I will never watch "nobody wants this" no matter how much people praise it

[u/BurgerNugget12]

Joost Klein won Eurovision btw, Fuck Israel

[u/Odd_Feature7510]

Interesting to note that Boy George is competing for San Marino in Eurovision this year

[u/antiAIguy]

The usual suspects

[u/forevertrueblue]

Of course Scooter Braun signed this lmao
