Disappointing
Spurred by the Michael Jackson trial, they have been talking on the radio about stars that have disappointed you in one way or another. They had people call in and give their views. Here are a few stars that disappointed them:
* Sean Connery – Apparently, he gave an interview years ago and stated that women needed to be slapped around every now and then to straighten them out.
* Michael Jackson – child molestation
* Woody Allen – took naked pictures of his adopted step-daughter and ended up marrying her
* George Michael – propositioned in a public bathroom and accepted
* Hillary Rodham Clinton – The caller said that she could no longer respect her after all that her husband put her through with the affair. She said if it was a one-time thing it may have been possible to forgive him, but since it was habitual she could never forgive him.
Those were the names given. I can understand how they would feel that way although not all of them have disappointed me personally. I have a few more to add though:
* Paul Reubens AKA Pee Wee Herman – Got caught in a public movie theatre pleasuring himself. Couldn’t he have stayed at home and done this?
*Lindsay Lohan – (Ashley gave me this one) she said that she was disappointed because she acts like a slut in her videos
*Cindy Crawford - It disappoints me that she posed in Playboy. I had hoped that she could show how beautiful she is and keep her clothes on at the same time. No such luck!
*Bill Cosby - If you use THIS link you can see what he is being accused of. I truly hope the allegations are false. I grew up loving The Cosby Show and Bill Cosby: Himself.
Those names jumped right out at me. Even though they disappointed me, I still watch them on TV. It’s not like I’m holding a grudge.
I’m curious now; what star or famous person has disappointed you and why?

The Sean Connery interview was so awful, he also did another one with Parkinson where he showed his mean streak by not joining in with the show, I think because he felt upstaged. Silly man, he lost all my feelings for him (and they have been fairly strong for oodles of years) in just those few moments. But then, does he know what he is missing!!!?

I'm pretty sure bill Cosby has been cleared of all the charges this past week.
And no star ever disappoints me because my opinion of holloywood is so INCREDIBLY LOW to begin with. I always expect the worst and that way all i get are occasional pleasant surprises.
How pessimistic was THAT comment!??!?!

The one the disapointed me most is Jeff Smith the Frugal Gourmet. I loved his show until all the men came out and accused him of the taking advantage of them while they were boys. I believe he paid them all off. So we don't know if it was true or not. To me when you make a deal to pay off people there must be something there. Jeff Smith passed away a couple of years ago. So I guess God knows what he did or did not do.

You talk about Cindy Crawford posing for Playboy like something that just happened recently, though it first happened back in 1988. By the way, if it gonna make you feel any better, she pledged not to pose for Playboy ever again.
