Rupert Everett is a tool. Don’t believe me? There’s lots of evidence. Back in 2007, he decided to trash-talk everyone from Diane Keaton to Robert DeNiro to Al Pacino, calling them “tragic parodies of themselves.” Then a few months ago he bashed his fellow gay men for wanting or needing or desiring to become parents, calling gay parenting “tiresome, egocentric and vain”. Because Rupert knows about vanity, that’s why he mangled his face with surgery and botox. Perhaps he saved the best for last week’s tirade, when he mocked Michael Jackson as a freak, then trash-talked former friends Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow. I can get behind the Paltrow trash-talking in general, but when Rup claims he’d prefer Katie “Jordan” Price to Paltrow, things get a bit fishy.
It’s past time for Rupert’s nasty words of anti-wisdom to cost him something big. Rup’s not really working that much in film or television anymore. Allegedly, he’s got a small part in something called St Trinian’s 2: Legend of Fritton’s Gold, which screams “OSCAR” to me. And maybe he’s on Broadway…? Whatever. The biggest gig Rupert had going for him was as some kind of contributor to Vanity Fair. In the past, Rupert kissed enough butt to keep the editor (Graydon Carter) happy, even telling The Daily Beast that Graydon had a “monster c-ck” and that Graydon is “an amazing f-ck”. Seriously. Rup said that about his editor. But apparently, Rup won’t kiss ass forever. He was trash talking Graydon recently, and now Rup’s out the door at VF:
Rupert Everett is famously outspoken but his most recent outburst has cost him a lucrative sideline.
The actor has been sacked as contributing editor of Vanity Fair after making inappropriate comments about the editor.
Everett, 50, described Graydon Carter during an interview as a ‘weird character’ who is ‘rather fat’.
‘Rupert regrets being so indiscreet,’ says an insider. ‘He’s coming to the end of his Broadway run in Blithe Spirit, so money is tight.’
A year ago Everett had to apologise for calling British soldiers ‘whining wimps’.
A Vanity Fair source said: ‘When his remarks reminded Graydon that Rupert was still listed, it seemed some housecleaning was in order.’

Well done, Vanity Fair. Now keep the Johnny Depp covers coming, and we’re in business. Can Rupert Everett be persona non grata from now on? Can he be fired from everything, and then maybe he’ll resort to telling his “witty” little thoughts to random people as they pass him on the street. I get the feeling that Rupert thinks that Americans will find him charming for three reasons: because of his accent, or because we think his nastiness is “eccentric”. No, and no. Take him back, Britain!

Say what you like, Kaiser, I will never stop adoring this man. Where to begin? Okay, he is eccentric. He’s got an acid tongue. He’s still better looking than 90 percent of the male population (and in his heyday 99.9 percent). His acting is fine; his writing is even better. Not just his autobiography, but his novels. He shocks people? Good. He’s controversial? Even better. And not to be too personal, but if Gerard Butler is the apex of male hotness, then Rupert Everett is the apex of discretion.

Britain don’t want his nasty viper mouth and weird plastic veiny face and body back. Hope he stays is the US for ever and i never have to hear anything about him ever again. Nasty bitch.

He’s just like Sharon Osbourne. I think he spends his days looking for a microphone to say something ‘shocking’ into. Who knows if he even believes half of what he says.

I get the feeling this guy doesn’t have a lot of love in his life. Does he have a partner, or a best friend, or a pet?
Funny how at 50 you have the face you deserve. Even Botox can’t cover up a lifetime of negative thinking.

He is so last decade, has never been the best actor or the best person.

Kaiser, that’s 2 reasons, not three!
There is a difference between being outspoken and just being mean; I think Mr. E passed that line when he outed himself and lost so much work. I’m glad to see that someone is slapping him for it. Now, if we could only do this to Karl L!

hmmm….don’t really care about this guy, but I thought I read good reviews on the first St. Trinian’s movie. Gemma Aterton was in it, the Strawberry Fields agent in Quantom of Solace. Colin Firth and Russel Brand to be in the second one as well.

Why are Karl L and Rupert E so angry?
Like SolitaryAngel says there is a difference between being outspoken and down right nasty.
Maybe some of that Bo-toxin is making them to be angry hens……

Kaiser, don’t forget when he called British soldiers, “whiny wimps”. He blames coming out for loss of his career, when the truth is that he’s a one note actor with a miserable personality. No one wants to work with him.
The only thing that keeps him relevant is the ridiculous bile he spews now and then.

He seems to be really stuck on the class system. That’s so last century.

Ferber: He may have been handsome some 20 years ago; he certainly isn’t now.Question. Better looking than 90 percent of what country’s male population? YIKES.
I once had some regard for Everett; however,a bad case of diarrhea of the mouth, that desolved that!
I love the fact that his balls are obviously not where they should, but instead in his mouth. It seems he has yet to spout off in the very faces of the individuals he so casually bashes. Oooo and such class to bash a dead guy!
Nothing like living up to a bad gay stereotype! Me-ow. Maybe this sort of behavior is suppose to secure him a other lucrative gig. Something like a realty show! OY! Great, another one to avoid like a bad case of swine flu!

Giz, I’ve often made the complaint that this site chooses the worst photos of Everett, probably because of their obvious dislike of him. Yes, he’s provocative, but he’s also extremely funny and a talented writer (as well as a good actor). And yes, he’s better-looking than 90 percent of the men in this country. I stand by that.

Ferber: Maybe things are being taken out of context, which happens often; could be frustration on his part. I’ve enjoyedhis movies read a couple of articles in VF. There is disputing his talent. However, the trash talk is very disappointing. Other sites have mentioned Everrett’s behavior, none complimentary.

I hear you, Giz, but I have no other choice than to stand by my man. Regards.
