NEW YORK, NY – Actress/comedienne TINA FEY complained about the liberal agenda at the ACADEMY AWARDS in an interview with HOWARD STERN last week.
Fey, a New Yorker who travels to Hollywood extensively given her career, told “I’m so glad I live here, because halfway through [the OSCARS] I was like: ‘this is some Hollywood (BS).’
“Everyone’s telling me, like, what to do and people are yelling at me about rape and corporate greed, but really it’s climate change. It’s like guys, pick a lane. Like, everyone, we’re going to fix everything tonight. And also, like, you’re all rich. Why are you yelling at me about corporate greed? You’re all so rich.”
Stern asked Fey whether she is turned off when actor LEONARDO DICAPRIO, who won the Oscar for Best Actor in the film THE REVENANT, discusses climate change. But Fey said that in that case, she is happy when someone is articulate on topics like that because, “let’s face it, actors are very stupid.”
Stern continued to press Fey, asking if she thought he was misogynistic insofar as the number of women he sleeps with, using them in exchange for their access to power. But Fey disagreed, saying everyone involved knows what the situation is, so it’s not misogynistic.
Though Fey is not necessarily a conservative or nearly as conservative as her most famous character, former Alaska Governor and 2008 Republican presidential nominee SARAH PALIN, the impersonation of whom on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE garnered much acclaim. Fey recently recreated the role for the 2016 campaign season, with real-life best friend and perennial costar AMY POEHLER recreating her own role as HILLARY CLINTON, when the duo starred on the longstanding television show.
SAUSALITO, CA – A fundraiser for PAWS (the PAROS ANIMAL WELFARE SOCIETY) is set to take place on April 9 in Sausalito, coordinated by locals JAMES AND JANET TURNER, who are on PAWS’ Board of Directors.
According to its website, paws.org, it is “a nonprofit organization and depends on membership fees, donations and volunteers to carry out its work. We have been active since 1995 and became an official body in 1999.
Our goals are to rescue and rehome abandoned dogs, manage the dog shelter (35-45 dogs on average), transport and provide medical treatment to injured stray cats and dogs, find local homes for needy kittens and cats, organize weekly stray cat neutering at discount rates, feed cat communities (currently 16 cat colonies) at garbage bins and parking lots when local restaurants close, helping neighborhoods manage their stray cat and dog communities, by encouraging owners to neuter their pets, working with the island vets, the schools, the municipality, the police and the church to raise awareness about animal welfare, and reporting animal abuse to the police; encourage the legislation to prosecute violators.
The Turners live on Paros for part of the year.
