Dumbfounded

Brad Pitt, ever the social activist, says he won’t be marrying Angelina Jolie until the restrictions on who can marry whom are dropped. “Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able,” the 42-year-old actor reveals in Esquire magazine’s October issue, on newsstands Sept. 19.

I have one question. Just one:

Does anyone care??????

Okay, I lied. I have two:

Does he think his threatening not to marry Angelina is going to make anyone change their mind on the issue of gay marriage?????

Gah! I’m sick of these two. And I liked him much better before he opened his mouth. I feel that way about most Hollywood stars regardless of their political stance. It’s not about agreeing or disagreeing with them, it’s about the fact they think they’re going to change people’s opinions just because they’re rich and famous. I don’t want to know their political affiliations. I want them to entertain me and that’s it. I feel that way about my favorite authors, too. If they started spouting political babble, I wouldn’t read them anymore, no matter what they had to say.

Am I the only one who thinks this way?
