Celebrity Idiots

Internet propagandists aligned with Russia have duped at least seven Western celebrities, including Elijah Wood and Priscilla Presley, into recording short videos to support its online information war against Ukraine, according to new security research by Microsoft.

The celebrities look like they were asked to offer words of encouragement—apparently via the Cameo app—to someone named “Vladimir” who appears to be struggling with substance abuse, Microsoft said. Instead, these messages were edited, sometimes dressed up with emojis, links and the logos of media outlets and then shared online by the Russia-aligned trolls, the company said.

At last week’s Gotham Awards, actor Robert De Niro amplified his ignorance by twisting together superficial movie history and fashionable political bias. It was another of the actor’s obsessive public denouncements of President Trump, again revealing the madness that has overwhelmed show-business liberals. De Niro was invited by the Gotham Film and Media Institute to present the organization’s Historical Icon and Creator Tribute to director Martin Scorsese and Apple, producers of Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, but De Niro went off-teleprompter in a fit of misguided political animus.

Angelina Jolie’s father Jon Voight has criticised her on social media – saying he was “disappointed” in his daughter’s comments about Israel’s attacks on Gaza.

Jolie, 48, posted a statement on Instagram saying the Hamas terrorist attack “cannot justify the innocent lives lost in bombing a civilian population in Gaza that has nowhere to go, no access to food or water, no possibility of evacuation, and not even the basic human right to cross a border to seek refuge”.

“The bombings are causing desperate new humanitarian needs daily,” she wrote.

Actress Angelina Jolie has come out swinging against Israel’s bombing of the Gaza Strip in retaliation for the horrific terrorist attack by Hamas, which killed over 1,400 Israelis, most of whom were civilians.

Left-wing pop star Cher says she will leave the United States if former President Donald Trump is re-elected, claiming that she “almost got an ulcer” when Trump was elected president in 2016.

“I almost got an ulcer the last time [Trump was elected],” Cher told the Guardian in an interview published Wednesday, adding, “If he gets in, who knows? This time I will leave [the country].”

U2’s Bono has declared that America is now at a “low ebb” — a possible insult to President Joe Biden, who is facing record-low popularity among voters in the face of runaway inflation, a tsunami of illegal aliens, and endless taxpayer funding for the endless war in Ukraine.

80s rock singer John Mellencamp says that nearly all blacks in America today are no better off than they were during slavery.

Appearing on Bill Maher’s Club Random Podcast, the Jack and Diane singer made the outrageous claim that only “1% or 2% of black people in America” have it any better than the slaves did 200 years ago.

REMEMBER TO DONATE TO BLAZINGCATFUR’S FUNDRAISER

Rachel Zegler, the actress playing Snow White (for some reason) in the upcoming Disney live adaptation of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves started doing what every radical feminist does once they’ve dug themselves into a hole; blaming men.

According to Bounding Into Comics, which first took note of Zegler’s lashing out at the male of our species, the actress reposted two videos on X from a Lady Gaga fan account featuring the musician and actress expressing her frustration and anger with men.

She isn’t just hurting the film but also her co-stars, who likely now regret sharing the billing with her.

Lizzogate is only a few days old, but the embattled pop star and Joe Biden 2020 campaigner is reportedly already feeling financial repercussions from her widening professional scandal involving allegations of sexual harassment and fat shaming.

I’m of an age when it is expected to lament the lack of talent in ‘young people’s music’ but today’s dreck is beyond redemption.
