:hah:Hollywood is doing its bit for the war effort

NICOLE KIDMAN and 83 of her Hollywood mates have denounced terrorism, 'cos it's, like, really bad?

In a move that has the international Muslim extremist community quaking in its boots, the group of high-profile luvvies has taken out a powerfully worded full-page advertisement in the Los Angeles Times calling for an end to the slaughter of innocents by nasty men belonging to organisations beginning with H. Take that, you terrorist punks!

The signatories include the chairman of News Corporation, Rupert Murdoch, the actors Michael Douglas, Dennis Hopper, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Danny De Vito, Don Johnson, James Woods, Kelly Preston, Patricia Heaton and William Hurt, and various directors, including Ridley Scott and Michael Mann.

The ad singles out for special mention Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Palestine.

"We the undersigned are pained and devastated by the civilian casualties in Israel and Lebanon caused by terrorist actions initiated by terrorist organisations such as Hezbollah and Hamas," it reads.

"If we do not succeed in stopping terrorism around the world, chaos will rule and innocent people will continue to die. We need to support democratic societies and stop terrorism at all costs."

Last we heard, the UN-brokered ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel was still holding, so the ad must have worked. No word yet on any mass al-Qaeda surrenders, but we'll keep you posted.

He's probably been spending a lot of time pointing at Bush and laughing up to now. Maybe this will distract him from that for a few minutes.

Something just struck me. I wonder if Richie Rich dresses up like Madonna in the privacy of his mom's basement, and that's where this fascination with all things celeb comes from.

Things that make you go hmmm.

Not that there's anything wrong with that (not the mom's basement part), I am a lib.
