Strikes Suck
Filed under: Media Minute
George Clooney, Robert De Niro, Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep are using their star power to hopefully avoid another Hollywood strike this summer!
The A-listers took out a full page ad in trade pub Variety urging the Screen Actors Guild to start talks with the media giants for a new labor contract ASAP.
They mean business!
They're right, though. Averting another strike is in the best interest of everyone.
In addition to saving thousands of jobs and money, it will minimize the amount of reality on TV!

I wish that man would run for president. Those televised state of the union addresses would have the highest ratings. ROFL
Absolutely. And we're SICK OF REALITY!!!
We need something stimulating on TV!!!
PS ~ Clooney could run for President of the U.S.
He is a handsome man. We all love him. There are so many fans of him. And they set up the groups related to stars. You can even check out his sexy and beautiful photos, videos and blogs at 'milliona irefriends.com'. I am now reading some related blogs regarding him there. He's popular there.
FIRST!

IN his new role as United Nations messenger of peace, George Clooney was playing himself.
That was the easy part for the 46-year-old actor in his high-profile visit to the UN. The hard part was being unable to deliver his message.
Clooney met joked and shook hands, agreeing to have his picture taken throughout the day with scores of curious UN employees.
But several nations, including Russia and France, refused to let him speak publicly at a meeting of nations that contribute troops to the 17 UN peacekeeping missions.
"There are groups that don't feel that I necessarily class up the joint and don't feel that I should be speaking to them," Clooney said later.
George Clooney, the famed high school graduate was told to Shut Up!
It will also be very interesting to see if the writers support the actors in the same way that the actors supported the writers.
I am lovin all these typos!
You moron. This is a horrible thing. These asshole movie stars are trying to step in and negotiate without talking to the mass majority of the union. Stay out of labor discussions. Stick to things you know about, like blowing dudes, eating ice cream and talking about Jennifer Love Hewitt's dress. Some life you live, you ugly hippo.
Dear Mog, Please let these a-hole actors go on strike! Nothing says "sticking it to the man" more than a bunch of talentless hacks refusing to cash $20 million dollar checks. Oh, and George, no one cares you d1ck.

Actors strike?!? Can they maybe get a clue? The economy is down the toilet right now and will be for a while. The last thing we need to hear is how bad these overpaid pretenders have it. Come get a dose of real life you morons! You ought to be for every royalty check you get in the mail. Do you think real life is like that? Come back to earth. There's much more important issues. TV sucks and movie ticket prices are high enough now.

Re: San Francisco –
He's perfect, beautiful and gay. You can't get better than that, except Hillary.
Clooney is so gay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Weren't you kind of on a reality show, or what did you call it? Also, you have appeared on game shows. I notice you didn't say all these game shows should go away. The only reality shows that I wish would go away is the Hills and Laguana Beach. I am tired of these reality 'stars' being everywhere and the press falling all over them. The other reality shows will fade away if they suck. Except the Donald. Can't seem to get him to go. Actually, an actors strike might be good if the donald and heidi/spencer are sag members. Go Union!
Re: Darryll – gO SUCK YOUR DICK, THAT'S YOUR SPECIALITY BITCH.
Re: wwww – I know, don't cha just love it. He is so fine.
Re: cloe – So True! Yeah President Clooney!
Is any one else as sick of this clown as I am? He's a standard method actor…that's it. No one cares what HE has to say……just shut it GEORGE CLOWNEY!!!!
Hillary probably is a fascist. but there is INCREASING EVIDENCE THAT THE MOST LIBERAL SENATOR (RATED BY THE NATIONAL JOURNAL) is A COMMUNIST!

WHO CARES WHO CARES WHO CARES
OMG Clooney is so damn annoying.

Re: Tara Reid – ME I AM TOO WTF DOES HE THINK PEOPLE WILL STOP WHATEVER THEIR DOING AND LISTEN TO HIM AND DO WHAT HE SAYS JUST BECAUSE GEORGE CLOONEY SAID SO.HES MADE SO MANY REMARKS HES NEEDED TO GET AN ASS WHIPIN FOR.I WAS HOPING FABIO WOULD HAVE KICKED HIS LILLY PEACEKEEPING ASS
@blakely (#11) come on, you care right?
I guess I would care if Hollywood put out movies that were worth $11.50 at the theatres. Along with a bag a candy worth $5.50, popcorn worth $6.50, and a soft drink worth $7.50 plus parking if you live in a big city. There is some good television, but most of those are sitcoms with very few dramas worth tuning into.
I am a big fan of Clooney, DeNiro, Hanks, Streep and some of the other actors, but let's face when was the last time you felt good about spending $30 at the movie for yourself or $60 if you go on a date.
You mean to tell me that there are that many original great hollywood big budget movies out there anymore. Face it the only reason movies are setting sales records is because they cost so much to go and see them at the theatres.
I only go and see movies at the theatres if I think it is worth seeing the special effects on the big screen. Besides that I can wait for DVD.
PEARL NECKLACE OVA HERE!!! CLOONEY BABY I WOULD LOVE IT IF YOU SHOT STEAMING HOT CUM ALL OVA MY FACE!!!!
these celebrities are fucking assholes, they need to shut-up!!!! I'm sick of them and there stupid crap!!!!! oh and by the way Al gore must die that jack ass messed with my inhalers in the name of global warming and now I'm probable going to die of an asthma attack so from no on screw saving the planet if I can't breath or have a good life then I personally want to make the ozone look like swiss cheese and if people want it to stop then give me my inhalers back!
"In addition to saving thousands of jobs and money, it will minimize the amount of reality on TV!"
Is Perez referring to all of the shows he has been on?
I don't think we can handle much more reality….I mean can they come up with another "Celebrity Rehab?" Priceless.
Hey losers, you peole need to stay off my site unless you guys plan to vote for Hillary, im tired of all you stupid obama people. He a muslim guys, when will all of you realize, he gonna hand us over to the arabs.
Oceans 11 rules.

George Clooney for prez!
why dont they stop bitching! they are hollywood..not doctors or anyone else trying to save the world. does anyone else find them annoying and another thing. Kanye needs to shut his dumb ass up. how come kno one is posting how it WAS NOT the dr fault his vain mom died. The autopsy poved that. Why not post that perez. Kanye walks around moaning and groining about his moms death like he is the only one who has lost a loved one..whatever kanye..you are a loser. Please post about the sutopsy results..I think that would be a good topic and shed some light on whos fault it really was..her own dumb ass. "I think now would be a good time to stop playing the music" SHUT UP KANYE!
how much do you think it costs to have that sign with his name made? what a waste of money, really. I applaud him for his cause, but does the government have to make him a sign? COME ON!! I'd rather suppenoed him to show us guys how to get some poon.
Funny how people with any pull only step up up when it effects them.
.
If someone from Hollywood's family develops a type of sickness, they start a foundation, ect…

How come it takes their own hurt to help others?
I like reality TV but I do miss Housewives.
I think little Georgie is a secret Rock Hudson!!
.
Come on George, step out.
Perez owes a lot to Reality TV. Don't bite that hand that feeds.
I don't see all the fuss is about Clooney? He is not aging well and he can't act his way out of a paper bag.
I'd hardly put Clooney or Hanks next to the likes of DeNiro or Streep…Eh, whatever…
vaya pendejo este cabron. chupa pollo
I think the SAG President is going to want to feel as powerful and important as possible and hold out…it would be in very poor taste for the actors to hold out on negotiations and have this town repeat what just happened.
Perez = Reality TV
Perez = Hypocrith
btw… i love reality

I love George…have you ever seen him on the '80's episode of Golden Girls…funny, very curly afro.
Celebs should stick with acting. Let management do their job. Let the corporate hogwashes do their job. Unless all of acting and celebs were to show me creds with business/management ability (would be nice to see how many have academic or business education in the field) - I would have to say let the strike continue. Well - unless an agreement is reached. Keep it up! Let the strike continue! It's business and money. That's my two cents.
where are u perez??!!! i cant believe u havent posted anything else but this all day!! We MISS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!I DONT WANNA SEE THIS UGLY ASS GIRL
I am a Screen Actors Guild member who has been on unemployment for 3 months and I think the greedy writers screwed everyone in Hollywood for pennies. WE actors received a 2 percent raise last year and inflation was 4.1 percent, why should'nt we strike. I'm willing to shut down the town for a couple of months to screw the writers back. Should we take another contract that does'nt even keep pace with inflation.
perez make me famousssssssssssssssssss
Jane Fonda dropped a "C" bomb on the "Today" show. Hell yeah!! NBC apologized profusely! But Jane didn't

next time call meredith a fucking bitch. you're a badass that can get away with it.
George Clooney should be named the patron saint of America! Thank you George for caring and for trying to save us from reality tv.
George Clooney is going to save the world one day. Thank you for caring about us all George.
i wish he was my pediatrician…
Fuck those phony assholes. They get $20 million per movie. If none of them ever worked again a day in their lives, they would still have enough money to live a life of luxury for them and five generations ahead of them. The C list actors, who get maybe $200k a movie and who rely on internet and DVD revenue are the ones who need a strike aversion, not these limousine liberals.
He bugs…just because he's good at mimicking (acting) doesn't mean he knows what the hell he's talking about. I wish he would retire.
Clooney is also an Obama supporter. I notice Perez that after Obama's wins you reported nothing!!!
I would suck his cock any day.
Thats BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe if these stupid actors didnt demand ridiculous sums of money, (which none of them deserve anymore) the movie industry wouldnt be in such a shithole. So they should look to themselves when they try to be "all for-a-cause" and try to fix things. It just makes them look stupid.
Okay first of all Meryl and De Niro are acting God's they deserve their power. Tom Hanks-he has power. But George Clooney? I still don't get how this guy got to the status he is? He has had so many flop movies and he's not the greatest actor in the world. Yet Hollywood kisses his ass and I can't remember when he got to be at his position. Is it just because of his looks? Because he looks like an old hollywood leading man like Cary Grant and they want to create new Hollywood icons that remind them of the old one? that's the only thing I can think of. Clooney seems to have this huge deal of self importance and thinks that he is so powerful and what he does impacts and changes the world. Angelina and Brad are the same way. These celebrities need to get over themselves and realize they are just actors. They aren't curing cancer.
Re: janebird – I agree 101%! Hollywood seems to seek out people they can use as a mouthpiece or their agenda regardless of talent (which this guy has none) or personality (in interviews he has the personality of a dial tone) or intellect (dumb as a post)…People say how good-looking he is and I just don't get it. What he is, is a manufactured personality who is given awards and praise by the same industry that created him.
I spotted two words: reality and minimize. Hallelujah!
Go on strike because most people don't give a shit.
george should run for prez
This guy Clowny is copying Angelina Joly.
Bunch of fucking greedy assholes have everybody scared shitless that any moron with a union card is going to picket thanks to Patrick Cherrone: the buffoonish union creeper Hoffa wanna-be-er! What a fucking douche!!!! He SINGLE handedly managed to FUCK OVER the entire writing staff of NY & Hollywood by being such a fucking stupid cunt that the producers got away with EVERYTHING they wanted (and nothing the writers needed). He should kill himself ASAP. Given that he probably won't, perhaps he should just rep the actors so that we can shut down Hollywood once and for all.
It's about Barack's 1999 Limo blowjob sex scandal with Larry Sinclair. . So Obama's a gentleman's gentleman, a partaker of the love that dare not speak its name, a man's man, a pederast, a bugger, an ass pirate, a fudgepacker, a salad-tosser. And he hides this as a negative secret. And the beard/fag-hag named Michelle he carries around knows about all this. And is silent. Um………Open for comment….
George Clooney for PRESIDENT!!!!
IF THE CELEBRITIES CARED SO DAMNED MUCH THEN GIMME SOME MONEY!!!!!
