Rupert Everett was giving an interview where he was talking about how homosexual actors are regarded in Hollywood. He said that ultimately the movie industry determines career success or failure, not popularity with the public.

“If you look and analyze the careers of many, many stars, you’ll find that they’re mostly sustained by the business,” he said. “I’m not going to start naming names of people whose films have not succeeded at the box office, but you’ll find there’s lots of women and lots of men in the business that the powers that be decide are right for their business, and they’ll stand with them for quite a long time.”

Then Rupert decided to start naming names.

“OK, something will go wrong, like Jennifer Aniston will have one too many total flops, but she’s still a member of that club, and she will still manage to…like a star forming in the universe, things will swirl around her and it will suddenly solidify into another vital tasteless romcom, you know, a little glitter next to the Crab Nebula.”

Ouch. Was that really necessary?

Although, as I think about it, Jennifer’s recent hit movies (‘Marley & Me‘ and ‘He’s Just Not That Into You‘) were based on bestselling books. ‘The Switch,’ ‘Love Happens,’ and ‘The Bounty Hunter‘ were not and none of them were great box office hits.
