Daniel Craig is a curmudgeon. I don’t know if he’s always been so surly, or if it happened to him over the past five-six years as his career exploded (when he became James Bond). I tend to think that pre-Bond, he had some surliness, but I remember seeing him in interviews pre-Bond, and he just seemed more… open. More easy-going. Not so f–king angry about everything. Nowadays, he seems to have a shorter fuse. Daniel Craig will verbally bitch-slap anyone and anything. His interviews are full of expletives, which I usually think is a sign of someone trying too hard, but with Daniel, it just makes me think that he likes to talk dirty, and I like that. Anyway, Daniel has a new cover interview with GQ UK, to promote The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Daniel verbally bitch-slaps the Kardashians, and really any celebrity who whores out their private life.
On famewhoring in general: “I think there’s a lot to be said for keeping your own counsel. It’s not about being afraid to be public with your emotions or about who you are and what you stand for. But if you sell it off it’s gone. You can’t buy it back – you can’t buy your privacy back. ‘Ooh I want to be alone.’ F–k you. We’ve been in your living room. We were at your birth. You filmed it for us and showed us the placenta and now you want some privacy?”
On the Kardashians specifically: “Look at the Kardashians, they’re worth millions. I don’t think they were that badly off to begin with but now look at them. You see that and you think ‘what, you mean all I have to do is behave like a f–king idiot on television and then you’ll pay me millions.’ I’m not judging it – well, I am obviously.”
Having a quiet wedding with Rachel Weisz: “We got away with it. We did it privately and I’ve got a lot of people to thank for that. But that was the point, we did it for private reasons. Because we didn’t want it f–ked up, because that would be sharing a secret. And the whole point is that it was a secret. A secret is a secret in my mind.”
On his marriage and Rachel: “Look, I’m in love. I’m very happy. And that is as far as I’m prepared to go. Life is long, life goes wrong and I don’t want to say something now that might be thrown back later.”
On his career: “I’m definitely not satisfied about my career. I don’t know how you can be, it’s the very nature of things. I’m always trying to figure it out, and I’m kind of unsatisfied constantly. I always want to get it right and I don’t know what the answer to it is. But I do know that it’s out there and I do know it’s worth looking for.”
[From The Mail]
I don’t feel like calling Daniel out on whatever minor hypocrisies, mostly because I don’t really think he is a hypocrite. He’s never really been a famewhore, and he’s always played his personal life pretty close to the vest. I understand the distinction he’s making between “famewhoring your private life” and simply being honest about who you’re with. Daniel hasn’t had any problems walking the red carpet with girlfriends in the past, and I don’t think acknowledging his new wife or the fact that he’s in love is “famewhoring.” (Although I’m sure Dame Gwyneth would disagree.) Sigh… I wish Daniel was talking dirty to me right now. Rachel Weisz is such a lucky bitch.
PS… Did anyone else LOL at the delicious bitchiness of “I’m not judging it – well, I am obviously.” Daniel is such a judgy bitch.

He won’t comment on his marriage because if it goes south, his remarks will come back and bite him in the ass. I don’t blame him for that. As for the Kardashians. They have one of the highest numbers for viewing audiences of all the reality shows out there. So they might be fucking idiots, but they aren’t stupid. Their viewers are, though.

I think they did get away with it. They have never had so much publicity as they have since the marriage troubles and divorce were announced and to paraphrase some old wise fart “it’s all good publicity as long as they are talking about you” or some such thing anyway. They are still raking in the bucks and even if people say they hate them, they are still watching and commenting and can’t wait for the next tidbit of gossip. I should be so smart to know how to pimp myself out for a few years and make a killing off the curiousity of others. They aren’t stupid, they are just really gross.

LOVE LOVE LOVE it. For too long people have turned a blind eye to the deterioration of TV/Movies. No longer is talent and hard work valued – it’s strictly shock factor, ratings and fame whoring. The best and the brightest are eclipsed by snookie (wtf?) from the Jersey Shore, The Kardashians and the Hiltons. YUCK. I don’t even watch TV and still know what a snookie is – g0d help me. The high ratings for these shows prove that people w. a brain are tuning out completely and those who are watching simply want to feel superior to the trashy people they are watching….

Really! Why is this twat even acknowledging their existence? Doesn’t he know any publicity is good publicity? I didn’t know, who the fuck Kardashians were until some celebs like Reese started acknowledging them. I get, it’s heartburning to see bimbos making a ton of money for nothing but legit celebs dissing them make them look petty.

I believe it was P.T. Barnum who said, “There’s no such thing as bad publicity” or something pretty close to that. (The aforementioned “old fart.”)

“Really! Why is this twat even acknowledging their existence? Doesn’t he know any publicity is good publicity?”
Precisely! There are some people and situations that need to be discussed and confronted in order to handle them because in the end it will have the desired effect. Than there are other people and situations that just need to be ignored in order to deal with them because any attention given will only make things worse. The K clan is the latter type, these people need to be shunned and treated as if they don’t exist and only than will they go away. They have no shame so no amount of negative attention will make them go away, it only eggs them on.
I do my part by not watching any of their shows or clicking/reading post about them (this post is the closes I’ve come to writing in a post about them). I wish more people would do the same.

When your right, your right! How I wish other stars (people who actually HAVE TALENT) would come out in condemnation of this trash as well. Maybe then people would stop tuning in, stop buying any and all magazines that even mention the name Kardashian and maybe just maybe they would finally take their big fat bank accounts (thanks to all you YEE-HAWS) and just simply go away. I won’t however hold my breath.

Well other celebrities don’t say anything or judge because as they say those in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. Lots of other celebrities are big time fame whores. Sure Craig keeps his shit tight but he also needs to do that to avoid all those questions about ‘did you cheat on your girlfriend with your now wife?’ ‘Did your wife cheat on her ex with you?’ etc.

So true. He’s been there several times and been very lucky that he hasn’t been villified over his cheating like a lot of other actors. But you never hear that from the fanbots, who will in turn trash someone else for the very same thing, in a heartbeat.

Seriously? You’d live your life 100% publicly? Create fake family situations just for ratings? Fall fake in love and have a fake marriage? You’d lose yourself in the fakery and forget who you are.

Mmmmmm….Daniel Craig is so sexy, especially when he’s calling bitches out on their BS. I really do hope things with Rachel work out for him. They seem like a wonderful match.
Let’s be clear here. Just because the Kardashians have high television ratings doesn’t mean they are doing well. There was an article that said the Kardashians have lost close to 80% of their endorsement deals since the wedding/divorce fiasco and their clothing line from Sears is not doing well. So at this point they are losing money instead of turning a profit. Either way, they’ll still be set for life. They need to realize that they have made the maximum amount of money that is possible from famewhoring and it will only go down from here. Kim is already going down the path of Paris Hilton where in 5 years she will be completely irrelevant.

I call him a coward. He was actually refering to many celebrities – ones who sell their baby pictures or their vacations etc. However since he knows some of them are big names he would never mention them. Instead he picks on someone who he knows will get him press and at the same time not get bad press because he used a big name. He used their names for attention. Without them no one would have cared about this article.
I would love for him to be questioned about his affair with his now wife.
He needs a hit movie and for people to pay attention to him – sad he has to use a group of sisters on reality TV to get his name out there. He might be right but I just lost all respect for him. What a yellow coward.
