5. Those are epic...
I do like the fact that in calling out everybody else, they called out Clooney for being a hypocrite.

34. I just watched the whole thing and it was Liberal Clooney just as I expected
George Clooney is a strong ally. He's drop dead gorgeous too. I don't think we should form the circular firing squad just yet.

6. LOL, here's one:
:P

Yes, stars came out in force last week to show their support for the brave little people taking part in Occupy Wall Street protests across America. Here, actress Sofia Vergara demands higher taxes for the wealthy as she arrives at the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic in Los Angeles on Sunday.

20. I'm calling BS.
Nobody really names their child "Nacho". Next thing I know, they're going to claim he and his wife Taco just welcomed an 8#, 4oz. Burrito Grande to the family.

17. I captured all of them except the odd non-funny with Christie Brinkley, who didn't excite snark.
I hope the caption writer has a new job he/she is off to tomorrow and that this was a way of giving the finger.

29. I agree. She's had some major work done to her eyes, face & neck + botox. Photoshopping helps, too.
Edited on Thu Oct-13-11 02:28 AM by ClarkUSA
Whoever did the plastic surgery is very good at what he does. Must've cost her a fortune.

I have to give her lots of credit for keeping her great body toned and fit, though.

But anyway... I found this picture to be especially hilarious:

31. fun stuff
I was entertained enough to go back and read some of the other recent weeks, which are in a similar style (though less political without the OWS content as a foil).

35. Apparently they do this every week
I found this note above the photos:

Editor's note: Each week, Globe and Mail editors supply tongue in cheek captions to our celebrity of the week photos. This week: our Occupy Wall Street edition. Disclaimer: this isn't an endorsement of any political position, just a spot of fun.

Whoever said Christie Brinkley looked fantastic ---- you're right. She is in her late 50s, at least.
