Truth for the Youth
Snooty British actor Sir Ben Kingsley – who really seriously insists on being called "Sir Ben" – recently told an American reporter that he thinks the entertainment industry fucks with the heads of its youthful stars:
Some young people are told they’re actors and they’re not. It’s unfair to exploit a young person who may look good on a magazine cover and tell them they can be in movies. You’re lifting their expectations so high and then pulling the rug from under their feet when the audience gives them a thumbs-down. We throw people away too easily but should never invite them in the first place.

Sorry Sir Ben is not more like Brand Beckham for you Hollywood bitches…this Brit has got brains.
…and talent.
Cord…you are welcome to re-write my bitchy Beckham comments into one of your pieces….you have my permission….as long as you give me a Commie for it. Vicky will love this one…she has such a sense of camp humour …she is almost gay.
Astooot, Ben. . .er, Sir Ben!
(My homage to glrg.)
Some young kids are told that they are precious snowflakes and they're not. And then they grow up with a false sense of entitlement and are rude to people who bring them their coffee and muffins. People suck. Sir Ben isn’t really saying anything we didn’t already know, but it’s a welcome thing to hear.
Maria….that is not what Ben was saying….and I think you know that but you are in a spin. Give my regards to Brooklyn.
…and go & get my coffee & muffins …and I mean NOW!!
get your own muffins you lazy ass.
I totally agree with Sir Ben, and think the fact that he has now been forced to make out with an Olsen says more than he could ever express in words. The only problem I have is that while, Sir Ben is talented and intelligent, but he's also so far up his own ass he can see out his mouth. This doesn't make him wrong. It just makes me loathe to agree with him.
If you feel like adding grammar to that go right ahead. I couldn't be bothered.
