Comment posted Billy Bob Thornton Got Upset When Called an Actor by John Kingston.

First of all, the other band members sounded great. Any success they obtain musically will be due to them and not the person playing drums.

It was painful to watch the interview as Billy Bob sounded like he was on meds. Giving the background on a celebrity at the start of the interview should have been acceptable as the host did not dwell on it. Does he really think the band would have gotten the interview if he was not a well know actor?

Many actors try to be musicians, few succeed. It is not for the lack of loving music. It is because few actors live and breathe it. Just look at any individual who is successful at what they do and you will find they live and breathe it.

Billy Bob really needs to understand the band is getting more publicity and interviews because he is an actor and not because he is a great drummer. There are many bands who are as good if not better than the Boxmasters that will never get the opportunities this band gets.

There is something Billy Bob needs to understand. He is the band’s greatest asset to get the media’s attention and their weakest link musically.

• Roman Polanski Arrested in Zurich SWitzerland
  OK, let’s set the record straight. Through plea bargaining, he agreed to plead guilty to a lesser charge than rape. The act and the bargained charge should not be confused.

  Guessing you consider Laws that protect children stupid since you would have done the same as Polanski.

  Oh, also for the record, it is California!

• Caster Semenya Gender Dispute in Women 800 Meter Race
  I completely agree that the whole manner is being handled insensitively. The investigation could have occurred privately and not dragged through the media. Unfortunately, when you are in the limelight, the media and other individuals will be insensitive.

  What is typical though is the quick response of “it’s racial” that I’ve read in other articles. Does racism exist? Absolutely, but both sides have people who keep it alive.

  SoulKid’s comments make a good point. The only question I have is, when was the world ever sensitive? It is more the push to expect people to be more sensitive that gives the appearance it is more insensitive. Personally, I believe people should be more sensitive and have found being sensitive is not based upon race or gender. It is strictly a personality trait.

• Miley Cyrus and Adam Shankman Scandal
  The second picture appears she is having sex with an imaginary someone in a chair. How could anyone post such a picture of someone who is considered a little sister? Is it perhaps because it is staged and not real? People who stalk and prey on others don’t distinguish between the two.
• David Carradine Found Dead
  I find it difficult to believe this is a suicide. Perhaps closets in Bangkok are different than anywhere else, but it just seems unlikely one would choose to hang themselves there.
• Jessica Biel is Too Hot for Hollywood
  Yeah, just like Charlize Theron. Wait a minute, Charlize does not have any problems with getting great roles and she is beautiful. Jessica really needs to understand that a casting director may already have a particular look or personality in mind for a role. Pre-screening is needed so you don’t waste the director’s and producer’s time.
