They’re Better Than You

Be honest. You know the people in Hollywood are better than you are. I’d be willing to bet Leonardo DiCaprio has slept with way more Victoria’s Secret models than you have, and Natalie Portman has a much more impressive stock portfolio. You fly coach? Gross. You think George Clooney flies coach? Or even first class? Private, baby. And that makes actors better AND smarter than you are.

That’s why people who hear the word “no” only when it’s in a script or their agent is yelling it at a studio head until they add another zero to your check are qualified to tell you how to live. You don’t like it? Tough. It’s science…or something.

When was the last time Meryl Streep wasn’t able to get a table at any restaurant, no matter how popular, on a whim? She doesn’t wait. You wait, like a sucker. That clearly qualifies her to dictate how you should vote. In fact, she’s so successful she should dictate how you live. After all, you aren’t worth $75 million like she is, so she’s clearly much better at living than you are.

Hugh Laurie is painfully better than you are. He won a Golden Globe for “House” and “The Night Manager.” How many have you won? That’s what I thought.

He played an arms dealer with a tall, smoking hot, blonde model girlfriend and kissed her so believably that a bunch of foreign entertainment “journalists” voted to give him a statue. So he’s clearly better than you are. Do you honestly think you could kiss an attractive woman in a believable way? Neither does he, which is why this Brit should have a say over our governance.

And Brad Pitt? Even the wives who dumped him are better than you are, so clearly he is as well.

The elites in Davos have shaped this world the way they like it just as the kings did and the populist movement is destroying it.

I play make believe and get you to pay me to do it! I, therefore, rule very you.

Hahaha....this story is really sad. There are stars in Hollywood that can't get a decent spouse because of the lack of morals and the need for everything to be public. What a shallow horrible way to live. I would far rather have personal intimacy and family and love than fame. Ironic because I was just having this discussion with friends and they all but one felt the same way. The one that disagreed has no personal life so that was no surprise.

Sounds like the local ruling elite.

Maybe the elites are all constipated. They are certainly full of it.

Very good article. Our son was recently in California at a celebrity's home installing some gadgetry, and while the guy was accommodating and cordial our son said very full of himself.
