Title: Kidman condemns Hamas, Hezbollah Post by: Shammu on August 17, 2006, 03:53:54 PM Kidman condemns Hamas, Hezbollah
From correspondents in Los Angeles August 17, 2006 08:51am NICOLE Kidman has made a public stand against terrorism. The actress, joined by 84 other high-profile Hollywood stars, directors, studio bosses and media moguls, has taken out a powerfully-worded full page advertisement in today's Los Angeles Times newspaper. It specifically targets "terrorist organisations" such as 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," the ad 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." A who's who of Hollywood heavyweights joined Kidman on the ad. The actors listed included: Michael Douglas, Dennis Hopper, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Danny De Vito, Don Johnson, James Woods, Kelly Preston, Patricia Heaton and William Hurt. Directors Ridley Scott, Tony Scott, Michael Mann, Dick Donner and Sam Raimi also signed their names. Other Hollywood powerplayers supporting the ad included Sumner Redstone, the chairman and majority owner of Paramount Pictures, and billionaire mogul, Haim Saban.

Who'd a thought it, of course since so many terrorists are muslim, and against movies, it should be a no brainer! :P
Hollywood doesn't make any decisions for me, but there are some people that I choose not to support in their movies due to their words/actions, and there are some that I don't mind supporting their movies. There are alot of conservative and Christian names on that list. Nicole Kidman gets top billing because to my knowledge, she's never publically come out like this. Edited to add some names; Michael Douglas Dennis Hopper Sylvester Stallone Bruce Willis Danny De Vito Don Johnson James Woods Kelly Preston Patricia Heaton William Hurt Bryan Cranston (Hal from Malcolm in the Middle) Michael Chiklis Eric Braeden Gary Sinise Directors Ridley Scott Tony Scott Michael Mann Dick Donner Sam Raimi Title: Re: Kidman condemns Hamas, Hezbollah Post by: Brother Jerry on August 17, 2006, 04:34:03 PM So is that a list of supported people?
