Mandy Moore Fumes at Being Declared Republican

[nborders]

From the entertainment section:

http://www.imdb.com/news/wenn/#celeb10

Singer and actress Mandy Moore is furious at being "outed" as a secret Republican in the new issue of America's Details magazine. The publication's upcoming September edition lists Adam Sandler, Freddie Prinze Jr., Jessica Simpson, Shannen Doherty and Moore as silent supporters of current US President George W. Bush who don't join the campaign trail and make their political views known, unlike loud and proud Democrats Ben Affleck and Barbra Streisand. However, the A Walk To Remember beauty has angrily denied she supports Bush and his party. Her publicist tells American website Pagesix.Com, "Mandy is not, nor has she ever been, a Republican."

1. I see

broken wet dreams on DU.

[Zorra]

2. I'd be righteously pissed off if someone called me a republican too.

[Fridays Child]

4. Calling someone a republican is lower than whale shit, and that's...

...the lowest thing on Earth.

[DerBeppo]

9. actually

outing someone's political beliefs when they've gone out of their way to keep it from the public eye is about as low as can be.

if a person decides to keep that to themselves, then leave it be.

[Kikosexy2]

39. Adam Sandler???

...I guess he belongs to the Likud Party too. Eeeewwww!!

[xultar]

42. Time to re-evaluate Adam. Evaluation complete. TOSS HIS ASS n/t

[Pepperbelly]

48. with the Mandy Moore error, I wouldn't bank on Sandler either. nt

[tridim]

3. Barbara Streisand is "loud"?

Funny, I haven't heard her say a thing in the media for years. Ben Affleck isn't loud either, he's very calm when talking about politics.

[AspenRose]

11. It's that "coalition of the wild-eyed" meme they are trying to keep

in the public eye.

[Doosh]

5. lol, jessica simpson doesn't surprise me

the stupid redneck dumbass that she is.

[JerseygirlCT]

28. My son seemed surprised to hear about her -m

I said, look -- she's stupid and rich, which party did you think she'd support?

[Pax Argent]

49. LOL! Nice!

One sort of follows the other, doesn't it? ;)

[xultar]

43. BUHWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! n/t

[PurityOfEssence]

6. She was absolutely brilliant in "Saved"

It was a bravura performance that absolutely floored me: nuanced, spot on authentic and magnetic.

Great movie, by the way; it deserved much more play than it got.

[realisticphish]

21. loved that movie

saw it twice; she was awesome, and i think im in love with Jena Malone...


:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[coloradodem2005]

7. My respect for her just went up.

Thank you Mandy Moore for having a brain.

[TahitiNut]

75. She's only 20. She's still got time to be seduced.

:shrug: At 20, she's never voted for a President and only once for national offices. Maybe.

[Wickerman]

8. Adam Sandler? So, it appears he isn't just playing a moron!

[Supply Side Jesus]

41. I knew I hated him for a reason!

and it wasn't just because his movies are fuckin awful.

[Greyskye]

52. Ditto

I can't stand his style of 'humor'.

[drdtroit]

73. Oh,

Is he supposed to be a comedian?

[WhereIsMyFreedom]

76. humor? (nt)

[stanwyck]

10. Are there any Republicans with talent?

why are the Republicans such a mediocre lot? Alice Cooper? Ted Nugent? Drew Carey. Vincent Gallo. Britney Spears. Tom Selleck. Bo Derek.
Is having talent a deal breaker for conservatives? Just wondering.

[msmcghee]

16. Real acting depends on empathy

Empathy is anathema to conservatism. Conservatism is based on the premise that doing for yourself spurs the economy and results in the greatest good for all - and if it doesn't, well, tough shit. That's the price we pay for having a vibrant conservative economy.

Unless you only do yourself - as most repuke actors do - then real acting is elusive IMO.

It seems to me that all the really good actors - are liberal. Although there could be some exceptions. Actors are artists. Good art of any kind always depends on seeing the world through someone else's eyes and helping your audience to experience that pov.

[WMliberal]

45. seriously. will tom cruise be outed next?

followed by the cast of friends

[hyphenate]

64. He's been outed for other

things--this wouldn't be much of a surprise if he is.

[coloradodem2005]

81. I thought I saw on newsmeat that Cruise donated to Democrats.

I also remember Jennifer Anniston got blacklisted by the Freeps because she said that George Bush is a fucking idiot.

[Ravenseye]

83. Don't Forget The Governator

I just can't wait till he loses his reelection and in his concesssion speech says "I'll be back!"....you know it's coming...

[wishlist]

12. Good for her. I wondered if it was true that they were all Republican

and I wondered if any of them would come out publicly and deny being Republican. Very good news in my family since two teens in my family are big Mandy fans!

[GoneOffShore]

13. Vincent Gallo is another

no talent Republican. He just put out another piece of crap movie, called 'Brown Bunny'..

[stanwyck]

17. this movie has been rattling around

for a while. No one wants to touch it...apparently it is screamingly bad.

[Guaranteed]

77. I heard there's a non-simulated

scene where it shows Chloe Sevigny performing oral sex on Gallo.

[stanwyck]

80. and that is generating

much press. May be the only reason people see the movie.

[Catfight]

14. Yeah, that would piss me off, it's a black mark on your intelligence.

[Kahuna]

15. Adam Sandler... Har!. No wonder I never thought he was funny.

nt

[K8-EEE]

18. "A Walk To Remember" Is A GREAT MOVIE!

Yeah she plays a conservative in it but what I loved about it was, it was one of the few times where they guy had to change for HER -- and kind of changed for the better (she was a regular conservative, not a neocon, LOL!)

Probably from that part they assume she's a freeper or something, which is odd to put on somebody just playing a part.

Really it's a great movie, great for pre-teen girls. I get so sick of the women being "the sex break" in the movies. It's kind of the opposite of "Grease" where Olivia Newton-John totally changes and tarts up for this asshole who isn't even nice to her and it's a "happy ending" when he likes her transformation. I always hated that stupid movie!

[SkipNewarkDE]

23. Hated the Message In Grease

I always had a problem with that MESSAGE in the movie Grease... that to be happy and live happily ever after, the woman has to be a SLUT. Definitely a mysognistic male-oriented fantasy, and just insulting crap.

[jdj]

66. Stockjard Channing's Rizzo was heartbreaking and honest.

It's about the only time I have ever seen the real experience of my two best friends in high school portrayed honestly, one was a self-avowed bad girl, the other wasn't but was cruelly stimatized because she had very large breasts.

edit: I love this song. In gay pride marches the drag queens always sing it but insert "become a baptist, spread some lies" after "I could flirt with all the guys".

Artist Lyrics: Grease
Song Lyrics: There Are Worse Things I Could Do
Album Lyrics: New Broadway Cast Recording


(Rizzo)

There are worse things I could do,
Than go with a boy or two.
Even though the neighborhood thinks I'm trashy,
And no good,
I suppose it could be true,
But there are worse things I could do.

I could flirt with all the guys,
Smile at them and bat my eyes.
Press against them when we dance,
Make them think they stand a chance,
Then refuse to see it through.
That's a thing I'd never do.

I could stay home every night,
Wait around for Mr. Right.
Take cold showers every day,
And throw my life away,
On a dream that won't come true.

I could hurt someone like me,
Out of spite or jealousy.
I dont steal and I dont lie,
But I can feel and I can cry.
A fact I'll bet you never knew.
But to cry in front of you,
That's the worse thing I could do.

19. Adam Sandler?!

No wonder he has gone hill down recently.

[frylock]

22. No wonder he has gone hill down recently?

I guess, if you consider the last 17 years as recent. The only funny thing he ever did was his act as Stud Boy on MTV's Remote Control.

[wicket]

24. I liked some of his older movies

Like Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison, but more for the funny-if-you-are-drunk-or-hitting-bongs humor :D

[treepig]

26. ms. wicket

what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone reading this thread is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

on edit - sorry about that!

[wicket]

29. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

That was great :) (Though it's Ms. Wicket ;) )

[nborders]

33. Colin Quinn too

Colin Quinn (in the background) is a Republican, according to at Terri Gross interview on NPR. No wonder he wasn't funny on SNL.

~n

[HootieMcBoob]

25. abbie doobie

that was my adam sandler impersonation. good, huh?

[wicket]

30. Sounds pretty spot on

:D

[merh]

67. I thought that was the shrub trying to pronounce the name of the prison

again. Maybe that is why sandler is a repuke, he can relate to the shrub. :shrug:

[DS1]

20. dumbass, prick, dumbass, witch, dumbass

sums it up

[David Zephyr]

27. Adam Sandler...It Figures.

n/t

[2Design]

31. add this to my boycott list.....

[hughee99]

34. Why is there a need to boycott a celebrity

who is a * supporter? If the person donates NO money to him, spends NO time campaigning for him, and the "support" only shows up when they vote their own misguided conscience? I personally wouldn't boycott someone simply for the way they vote, though I would be more inclined do to so if they use their celebrity status to actively support someone I didn't like. Then, they have chosen to make their politics an issue, and I will take that into consideration.

[2Design]

35. that is your choice...mine is not to buy or support anyone who

supports a ciminal administration like bush....and the rethugs have been destroying our country and environment for too long.....

I don't reward negative behavior...and voting for rethugs is negative behavior for the majority of human beings and the planet.

[hughee99]

40. In that case, your Avatar is interesting

since George Steinbrenner is a big time Repuke.

[2Design]

44. yes interesting......my mother was a yankee fan and lived right

near the stadium when she was a child in the 1930s and went with her father to the game....

yankees are not what they used to be BUT none of the teams are....they are move around based on the money...their is no loyalty.....I don't live in ny and don't go to games any more.... I go to a local stadium which probably also is rethug...but they don't make much money if any off of me.... i bring my own water bottle and I go on promotion nights ...so I usually go home with something equivalent to what I spent....

so I guess there are no absolutes.....but sandler and simpson are up and coming stars...and I don't need to give them any of my money....

If can always buy used if I feel the urge to view them...but that money does not go back to them

[FredScuttle]

51. Sandler and Simpson = "up and coming stars"?

:wtf:

Uh, I think they're pretty established as far as stardom, fame and riches goes.

And your rank hypocrisy in promoting the Evil Empire of sports, "Boss" Steinbrenner's Yankees, is breathtaking. You do know, don't you, that the owner of your beloved Bombers was convicted of illegal contributions to Tricky Dick, don't you?

[PROGRESSIVE1]

56. Right On 28erl! It's DUer's like you who are the smart ones!

I Boycott Republiklan celebrities!

[Carolina]

57. me too

somehow when I discover that a performer is repuke, I can't bring myself to spend my money on him/her. My loathing of the party and especially * colors everything. Why help fund those who support, if only by their vote, regimes like BushCo? :shrug:

I'm with you and 28erl.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

62. Hi there!

:)

[savistocate]

65. far more than boycott

as in mental process..resolve, entirely.
It's being emotionally turned off--no performance engages, no empathetic experience is any longer possible. iow, their choice as a human being turns my stomach.
As in Ca 'recall'-pol-vendetta. Hearing Lowe, James Caan (fits macho-mental there though), even Jamie Lee Curtis--all who
especially in person defend RepublicanISM. They support
the theft of all Americans..the debt they choose to pass on to our and their children..& their children, bring us to brink of deep
economic depression, the extreme anti-wage earner/labor, they back up a monstrous invasion OF CHOICE..the LIES...all of it.
The rejection comes from the core and center of conciousness.

[jdj]

68. Voting for that thug and murderer is an issue for me.

I wont' support anyone who STILL supports Bush after the slaughter of the innocents in Iraq, and I don't see how anyone else with a conscience can either.

[rednek_Liberal]

71. Hmmm Like Bruce Springsten, REM, Dave Mathews Etc..

Yeah that would be bad, I would have to boycott them I guess

[hughee99]

84. Huh?

Did I miss something? What do they have to do with this?

[mitchtv]

78. you're either with us , or agin us

now where have I heard that before?

[bullimiami]

32. well i would have been surprised

she has to be one of the softest spoken, most polite ladies in the music biz.
just plain nice.

[LiberalFighter]

36. Perry Como was a Republican...

was invited to the Democratic Convention when JFK was running?

I watched a PBS special on him and I would find him honorable based on the documentary.

[Carolina]

59. yeah, but that was before the party

became polluted by Dixiecrats, theocrats and wingnuts. Remember Nelson Rockefeller, Jacob Javits, Everett Dirksen, Charles Percy, Ed Brooke ...?

It WAS once a very different Republican Party.

[LiberalFighter]

63. You got that right

[cmkramer]

60. So was Ethel Merman

She wrote in her autobiography that she campaigned for Nixon in 1960. But she felt it was an honor when she was invited to perform at Kennedy's Inaugural Gala.

[no_arbusto]

61. Really?

I'm very close with his family. I never heard that about him. I know that he stayed away from the Rat Pack but I don't think that it was for political reasons. His younger relatives are apolitical/libertarian if anything.

[Fleshdancer]

37. Can Jessica Simpson spell Republican? Can she define it?

:silly:

Seriously though, I don't really care who's a closet Republican or an outspoken Republican. However, for a magazine to attempt to "out" someone's political ideology when they choose to not discuss it is crap. First of all, it's obvious they didn't do their research considering they got atleast one wrong, second, what's the point?

[blueblitzkrieg]

38. I've always liked Mandy.

Even when she was one of the many young blonde female pop singers. She seems sweet and down-to-earth. 'Saved' was a pretty good movie.

[The empressof all]

46. Mandy is great

She has a heck of alot more talent than the other teenage dreck that is out there today.

She's my 14 year olds favorite right now. She does not feel compelled to follow the Hollywood starlet/singer tract and has come out quite a bit about her personal discomfort with blatant sexual imagery with teen age girls. She refuses to photograph herself that way.

Her most recent album was a cover of other artists. Having had to listen to it in the car over and over again I'm not sick of it. That says alot!

Way to Go Mandy----

[krkaufman]

47. Freddie Prinze, Jr. a secret Republican...? Just don't tell me...

... that Buffy's a Republican, too.

[Aidoneus]

50. I think she is

Anya too. But there is nothing secret about Prinze Jr.'s Republicanhood.

[ContinentalOp]

53. NO NO NO!!!

Please don't tell me Buffy is a repuke :( You ruined my whole evening.

[krkaufman]

72. What is it about "don't tell me"....

... that you don't understand?!?

And, of *course*, Anya's a Rethug, bless her heart.

[regnaD kciN]

74. You mean, "Anya WAS a Republican"...

She's dead now, of course.

;-)

[Rockholm]

85. Luckily, Faith is a Dem!!!!!

and from Watertown, MA!!!!!!

[krkaufman]

86. Sigh... yes.

... sliced in two ... collapsed with the rest of Sunnydale into the void of the Hellmouth. Yes, I suppose she's gone.

(Aud, of course, would has a McGovern liberal.)

[Radius]

54. McCarthy in reverse

Using someones political beliefs to damage their career, janitor or movie star is just bad form. Either side. If these people are not being political it is unfair to force them to be.

It was wrong when McCarthy did it and wrong now. Nasty Business. Just my opinion.

[DaveSZ]

55. It is a bit of an insult these days

nt

[Kusala]

58. ..

I agree..I cringed everytime I saw the freepers attack the dixie chicks or another liberal celebrity. Here you people are doing the same against Adam et. al.

It's called an opinion. Learn to respect one.

[savistocate]

70. Learn to respect _choice_

to withold respect for such "opinion".

[jdj]

69. I knew from the trailer of "Saved" that Moore is a liberal

No repuke could deliver lines like "I am FILLED with the spirit of the lord" and sling a bible at someone and live with themself.

I cannot believe Details could be so stupid.

Wouldn't it be great if she sues them for defamation!!!!

[fujiyama]

79. Adam Sandler

Hmmm, his movies are stupid but somewhat amusing. I decided to check www.opensecrets.org and there was one Adam Sandler that was found, from Simi Valley, CA (I'm assuming it's him) and it said he gave 500 bucks to John Conyers of MI, a very liberal congressman.

Maybe he's an Ed Koch type, who became all freaked out with terrorism...and maybe he supported the war in Iraq, or maybe he's a Likudnik...

[fishwax]

82. This list sounds similar

to another list I read by some group that was devoted to exposing "left-wing celebrities." This web site also had a list of "the good guys" or something like that, but their reasoning for the second list was pretty absurd. They put Adam Sandler on there b/c he had a statement on his web site in which he thanked the troops and said his thoughts were with them. Of course, that hardly makes him a right-winger. Plenty of the other names on the list were suspect too. I wish I could remember now what that web site was, but I kind of wonder if this list wasn't taken from theirs.
