Occupy LA. Where are all the celebrities? You know, the really liberal ones?

[Safetykitten]

Those stars that make it a point to make sure we all know how liberal they are.

Any there?

1. I've been wondering about the same thing.

Contracts with big movie corporations that are invested in other big corporations, is my guess.

[robinlynne]

2. Plenty have been there. Danny Glover, lila garrett...

[Safetykitten]

and....? Who else?

[pacalo]

5. Susan Sarandan, too, but not nearly enough have shown up.

[Safetykitten]

6. Bad hair days or something bigger may be a reason.

[pacalo]

20. It's both: Bad AND bigger hair days...

(I love Ben, but where is he???)

[WildNovember]

7. Who's Lila Garrett? Danny Glover is more left than "liberal". I think the poster

is talking about people like George Clooney.

[Safetykitten]

9. Yes, the Bono, the George, you know the ones with big mouths.

[deutsey]

12. I doubt you'll see Bono at anything like this n/t

[Safetykitten]

14. True, but he may be selling shirts or something.

[deutsey]

16. LOL

:rofl:

[WildNovember]

17. Not until it's stamped with the IMF seal of approval.

[EFerrari]

3. I didn't see any last night. Lots of presstitutes, though. n/t

[Dreamer Tatum]

4. If it's below Sunset Blvd., they ain't going. nt

[tblue]

8. Anne Hathaway was there.

She didn't call attention to herself. Maybe more of them are doing that — they don't want to upstage the rest of the protesters. If that's the reason, I really think it's cool.

[Safetykitten]

10. No Jane Fonda either. I would assume she would pose along with something.

[Raine]

22. Seems like I heard that Jane Fonda is a born-again Christian

one big reason her and Ted Turner divorced. If true I doubt she would show up for something like OWS.

edit: added one word

[Fire Walk With Me]

11. In the last few days, Deepak Chopra and Ron Kovic were there.

Ron went right past me and it took coalition_unwilling to tell me who that was. Left me speechless, which as you may note, does not often happen to me :)

BUT: No celebs of whom I am aware were there last night to stand in solidarity. It would be nice (but perhaps useless) if some would speak out against what happened, and form a force to block the re-election of all in "authority" who caused/allowed it to occur.

[valerief]

13. The media has to be as willing to cover the celebs as the celebs to speak out. nt

[bikebloke]

15. Mark Ruffalo

He's had a couple comments in the Guardian lately.

[Magoo48]

18. It's OK...

Don't need the pols, stars, msm, stinking badges, or permits. We have each other, the First Amendment, and a vision.
We keep trudging and see where we end up.

[doc03]

19. Counting their money n/t

[guardian]

21. What do you expect?

They (the celebrities) ARE the 1%
