The Hand that Feeds? Yummy!

What do Terrence Howard, Katherine Heigl and Kristen Stewart all have in common? A real taste for biting the hand that feeds.

Terrence Howard said, while on the press tour for Iron Man, that he wished he had never started acting, that he had just concentrated on his music and focused on becoming successful that way. Well, while the four people who actually bought his album might be on his side there (and share DNA with him), the producers were not impressed by his likening acting to being with a whore--it gets the job done but it doesn't really satisfy--and Don Cheadle will be playing Rhody in Iron Man 2.

And Katherine Heigl? Where do we start? First, she trashed Knocked Up while promoting the film. Then she takes herself out of contention for an Emmy--before having been nominated for one--by saying that she didn't feel that she'd been given adequate material to deserve the nomination. Um, Katie, you stupid, stupid bitch? If you haven't been given the material, you won't get nominated and you won't have to worry about it. The result? Apparently, she's been given some asinine storyline wherein she may or may not be crazy and she may or may not be getting the boot from her show. I don't know for sure, though, because Grey's Anatomy is just so miserable a show I can't watch it.

And now, in an interview that was published in Newsday (and syndicated in Chicago's Red Eye) Kristen Stewart said of her film Twilight, which opened Friday:

Sometimes I'd be like, "This is crap. This is the worst, most trite piece of crap I've ever done in my life." I love the books, but trying to do it in real life, it doesn't translate. [...] What else does it do for me, besides facilitate me making the next movie I want to make? Nothing.

Um, what??? Granted, she's an 18-year-old girl who's made a several films, and this film is being touted as her breakout film role, but seriously, who is her press handler? Does she also not recognize that the film is based on the first of a series of four books? That means at least four more films she'd be the first choice for--if she doesn't do something retarded like call it a trite piece of crap.

What are these people thinking? Is there something going on in Hollywood where you sign over your common sense when you sign on to do a film? How stupid to you have to be to criticize the thing that enables you to pay your bills?
