    First comment! Life goal achieved!

    Also love Kal and not surprised about the scripts it’s very reminiscent of the crap Gabby got in yesterday’s article.

    Good on Kal for posting these embarrassing stereotype scripts. I hope other Asian actors will do the same as well as Black actresses regarding their “sassy” roles. Three cheers for Mr. Hottie Kal Penn 🙂

      In college, I was a member of the Asian-American Association. Some wannabe director got a hold of our email listserv and sent out a request for Asian actors. He needed them to be crammed into a car and yelling at each other in heavy accents about how they didn’t know where they were going. Because, you know, Asians are bad drivers. It was so offensive – I mean, the purpose of our organization was to educate and celebrate diversity – and yet I wasn’t that shocked.

      This sh*t happens all the time.

    Sadly, not surprising. Shown brilliantly by Aziz Ansari as well on “Master of None.”

    Good for you, Kal.

    As a french woman, I LOVED that video of Isabelle Huppert.
    I like how she’s just sitting there, almost bored during Timberlake’s song but when “Nuit de folie” (a very tacky 80’s hit) begins she starts dancing right away. It’s really nice to see her having so much fun.

    He is so attractive.

    seriously, it’s telling that an entire successful SERIES of films (Harold & Kumar) couldn’t get John Cho and Kal Penn into the kind of lead-role opportunities in film that white guys like Ryan Reynolds used to keep scoring despite multiple flops.

    And Hollywood wants to pat itself on the back for being “artistic” and “liberal”? F**k off.

    • PennyLane says:

      It’s seriously irritating how these entitled white males – who went to all the right schools – complain about how they don’t want to “lower standards” by hiring non-whites and women. What, because all your buddies from Harvard or USC are just SO TALENTED??? And the movies you make are so good? Please.

      The embedded racism and sexism of liberal upper-middle-class white males is the most entrenched I’ve ever encountered. They simply will not admit that their bro-friends from school are not always the most qualified people for the job.

      (BTW, as long as I’m telling the truth: if you are white, gay, and male and you went to Harvard or some place like that, you are IN at the same level as the straight guys and considered by default to be smart, talented, and good at what you do – just like the other guys who attended the right schools.)

    Good lord, that article on Irina and Bradley sounds like they put it together for a “source” to leak, lol.

    • smcollins says:

      Right?!
      “Bradley has been there for her and is loving watching the baby grow inside of her.”
      I get what they’re saying, but the way they said it…ugh.

    Isabelle is me when I’m at a party and suddenly Beyoncé starts to play.
