The next time I hear a freeptard talk about "liberal Hollywood"...

I am going to smack them senseless:

Lohan welcomes stranded girl into her home

Freaky Friday star Lindsay Lohan has opened her house to a complete stranger, after discovering a young girl couldn't return to her home in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Louisiana is one of four US states which has suffered structural damage and loss of life at the hands of Hurricane Katrina.

So when 19-year-old Lohan, who spent almost three months in New Orleans earlier this year, heard the girl's plight she felt compelled to help.

She says: "There was this girl the other night I was at dinner and she was from New Orleans. She came here (to New York) for a trip for the day.

"Ironically, she couldn't go back and she is here. So I kind of took her under my wing. I said: 'Do you want to come and stay with us for the rest of the night?' It's just the scariest thought. I can't even imagine it."

1. OK. Now I'll have to stop making Lindsay Lohan jokes. Good for her. n/t

[im10ashus]

10. Me too.

I tend to pass all the teen-queens off as nothing more than talentless bimbos. She's done a great deed.

[poverlay]

2. I've alway's liked Lindsay. She's several notches above the

rest of the teen actresses I've seen. Good for her.
Thanks for the post.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

3. Not only that, so far

Sean Penn, Julia Roberts, Matthew McConaghey (sp?), Celine Dion, and a whole bunch of other Hollywood types have stepped forward to help.

[im10ashus]

12. Yes.

And Samuel Jackson reportedly (I'll have to find the link) has been secretly paying for dinner tabs when he sees the hurricane victims in diners and restaurants.

[maine_raptor]

4. Anybody know what Ted Nugent has done to help?

Bruce Willis?

Tom Selleck?

Fred Thompson?

Or any of the other GOP Hollywood types?

[EC]

8. Oh, well Brucie baby is off judging a beauty contest

Miss Italia..

[theHandpuppet]

9. Ted has probably offered to shoot everyone's pets

It's what a bloodthirsty nutjob like him would consider a canned hunt.

[im10ashus]

18. That sounds about right for Ted.

He's such a right-wing nut job.

[marbuc]

14. I hear the Nuge offered to shoot

whomever was left behind after the mandatory evacuation order.

5. Sean Penn: "My New Orleans Efforts Were Sincere"

Sean Penn: "My New Orleans Efforts Were Sincere"


Movie star Sean Penn has hit back at reports he used the Hurricane Katrina tragedy as a publicity stunt. The Oscar-winning actor and activist has been charged with taking a personal photographer and crew to New Orleans, Louisiana - so they could document his efforts. But angry Penn insists his motives were all good - he hired a boat and helped ferry 40 stranded locals to safety. On Wednesday, he told CNN host Larry King, "We went in, a couple of friends of mine, on our own. Certainly we had the attention of some photographers. We tried to do what we could."

15. BS. Sean Penn doesn't need any publicity so the whole

story is bogus. HE is a true American. (Not directed at you, Beaverhausen)

[donheld]

16. I believe that

They only reported it because of his failure. How many of those who poke fun at him even tried to help?

[Beaverhausen]

19. His failure? He rescued 40 people

his boat's engine failed and they actually ROWED it. How is that a failure?

[donheld]

22. Well see now

That must be a side of the story they wanted to omit.

6. Oprah Calls on Famous Friends To Help Hurricane Victims

Oprah Calls on Famous Friends To Help Hurricane Victims


Oprah Winfrey has enlisted famous friends including Oscar winners Julia Roberts and Jamie Foxx to help her bring hope to those devastated by Hurricane Katrina. The TV talkshow queen cut short her summer break last weekend to host shows from America's storm-ravaged Gulf region, where people are desperately trying to piece their lives back together. And she took a few famous faces with her - Foxx helped serve up food to 5,000 hurricane victims in a shelter in Dallas, Texas, while Matthew McConaughey and Faith Hill brought joy to survivors in Zachary, Louisiana, and Gulfport, Mississippi respectively in a show that aired in America yesterday. Meanwhile, Winfrey's pals John Travolta, Lisa Marie Presley and Chris Rock joined Roberts for segments taped for today's show. Travolta piloted his private plane to shelters in the southeast, delivering much needed vaccines and helping to replenish medical supplies. A tearful Winfrey hosted yesterday's show from the Astrodome in Houston, Texas, where thousands of hurricane survivors are seeking temporary refuge and medical help.

7. Where did the Greatest American President come from, again?

California's Reform Terminator? Fred Thompson? Sonny Bono? Fred Grandy?

Republicans sure love drawing from that poisoned well.

[im10ashus]

11. Yes they do.

But they hate it when a "liberal" talks politics. It's so typical of them to have yet another double-standard.

[Mein Bush]

23. Boston. JFK. Both of them!!!

[donheld]

13. Lindsay Lohan

:yourock:

[AX10]

17. I commend her actions, though not a fan....

it is wonderful to see Liberal Hollywood come to the rescue. Now what has Kelsey Grammer done? What about Chickenshit Charlie Daniels, Hankkk Williams Jr., Travis (censorship nazi) Tritt done? What has the rest of Nashville and NASCAR :puke: done? What has Hannity and Limbaugh done?

.......


'Liberal' Hollywood is much more Patriotic and American than DAS REICH WING could ever dream of.

[im10ashus]

20. DAS REICH WING indeed.

I have interestingly been hearing the comparison a LOT lately. Perhaps it deserves a thread of its own, but I would love to have the time and patience to put together a comparison between Nazi Germany and this current administration, IF it has not already been done.

[cmkramer]

21. Good for her

Nice to see that "socially active" can mean something other than partying.

Bo Bice from AMERICAN IDOL has also opened up his home to Katrina victims. According to www.mtv.com, he just moved out of his home in Alabama and invited a family of five to live there. He said he didn't know them, but they were fellow human beings that needed help.
