I MISS THE OLD HOLLYWOOD!

I miss the days when we didn't know about horrible, racist, misogynistic, sexist, and down right horrible aspects of these Hollywood actors/actresses' lives. Back then it was about selling an image (on and off screen) and everyone was in on it (studios, public relations firms, and even the media). Sure, these days Hollywood is still trying to sell that image, but it seems that everyone is no longer on the same page. These days it seems that we get to know every dirty nasty detail of the lives of our favorite celebrities which totally kills the fantasy (the only thing that Hollywood has to really offer).

Take Mel Gibson for example:



I didn't want to know that the Mad Max hates roving "packs of niggers" looking for white women who "deserve" to be raped...



I didn't want to know that Nick Marshall(the guy that's supposed to know "What Women Want") likes to beat on his woman, while she is holding their child...



I didn't want to know that William Wallace hates "wetback" babysitters and doesn't want them looking after his child...


...But now I do know, so do you (if this your first time hearing this filth, I'm sorry about that, really). What am I supposed to do with this guy (I mean as an actor/director/producer)? How can suspend disbelief with any of his past and future movies? Listen I've always suspected that Mr. Gibson had several predjudices, but I was able to enjoy his movies because the image of good guy Mel was not completely shattered

Uncle Mel isn't the only entertainer whom I found out too much about, thus ruining any enjoyment I could've had from their work (Roman Polanski, John Mayer, Robert Kelly, etc). I don't want the real person, I just want the image. I miss the old Hollywood.

Has Danny Glover come to his defense?

As far as I know, Mr. Glover has remained silent through out the whole mess that has become Mel Gibson's life. Whoopie Goldberg on the other hand, has remained adamant that Mel is not a racist or in general, a bad guy. I of course, disagree.
