Celebrity Feuds
Savage Goes Down in Flames

Michael SavageJust two days after announcing they were representing him, CAA has given homophobic radio host Michael Savage the ax! Adios, hater!

As TMZ earlier reported, on the heels of being signed to the high-profile talent agency, Savage made disparaging and homophobic remarks aimed at fellow CAA client Melissa Etheridge. Well, that didn't fly at the agency, because, according to Planet Gossip's Marc Malkin, CAA is no longer repping the conservative hate-monger -- and has unceremoniously dropped him from their client list!

Looks like Savage will now have something beside the private lives of A-list Oscar-winning lesbians to whine about.

CAA confirmed to TMZ that Savage is no longer their client.

91. Rsav: will you please stop this awful correspondence of yours. Your vile and ugly words contribute nothing to the conversation. If this is your idea of debate, you should shut down your computer and go back to watching "Hee Haw".

92. This guy is such a fake. He went to Berkley and wrote books on nutrition. Can you say hippy?? I guess when that didnt pay the bills he had to try something else . He saw that hate sold well and wanted to cash in. I doubt he believes half the stuff he babbles about . You guys are all getting played. The guy wants to sell books and make money. He is an opprotunist. I bet you all cant wait to read his next book. Damn you guys are suckers.

93. Isn't it funny how many of these gay-bashing, macho men enjoy reading the gossip pages of tzm! More Earl Grey?

94. I'm appalled at the judgemental comments here. Why would it make any difference in your life if Etheridge called her partner her wife or her mallard duck? I don't understand how gay marriage could possibly destroy marraige. I'm married, my neighboors might be married, living together, roommates, gay, etc. it has absolutely no effect on my marriage. How do the actions of others make my marriage more or less valuable? Who values my marriage other than my spouse, a few family members and myself? I also doubt couples will decide to stop getting married because gays can too.

I wish people could just relax a little and do what works for them without trying to make sure everyone else does it exactly like them. That what or who your neighbor is doing is none of your concern and that religion isn't one size fits all.

95. It's called free speech people. Love him, hate him, he has every right to say what he chooses and if he doesn't care for gay people he is JUST as bad as GAY people choosing to dislike someone who likes them. Pretty simple, don't y'all think? We really should move on from commenting on someone's personal likes and dislikes.

96. A-List and Melissa Etheridge dont belong together. She has been washed up for years and her song shouldnt have beat out the Dreamgirls. It was a political puff job award.

97. Liberalism is a mental disorder. Dr. Savage is right. This country has gotten so screwed up, that we have the "speech police" and the "thought police" punishing free speech. We're told that up is down and right is left. He is one of the few media people in the country who has the real courage to speak his mind.

98. It's unfortunate that CAA gave in to the homo-Nazis to drop Savage. The Homo-Nazis scream and shout in their pink-leotards when things like this happen to them for their perverted belief systems yet they're the ones that shriek the loudest in approval when this happens to someone they don;t like.

Freedom of speech for me but not for thee. Pure hypocrisy.!

99. Who the hell is this guy? I never heard of him before this nonsense. I'm all for freedom of speech (as a former journalist) but also believe agencies have a right to choose whom they represent (as a law student). Not entirely sure why they discussed signing him in the first place, as it's not like his hatred magically appeared after their contract talks. My guess is that it's because he spewed hate about a fellow CAA-repped celebrity. A helluva lot more people have heard of Melissa Ethridge (whether or not they know her wife's name) than Michael Savage, and I bet she's made CAA plenty o' cashola.

That the blog comments quickly devolved to nasty comments about gays and "the evilness of political correctness" does not surprise me, though. Grow up, people. Hate isn't a family value.

100. Ahhhh, reading some of the bile-filled comments once again reminds me
of the faux 'christians' that voted in the Bush crime syndicate. As well as the below
60 IQ of many of them.....damn .
Basically, the glue that holds society together is CIVILITY (word for the day, just like
3rd grade) since some were not taught BASIC MANNERS by parents ,like GOOD PARENTS do ,we have to re-teach as TOLERANCE. Are you with me so far ? Great !
Gays/people you don't like/other races agree not to stare at your freakish face/retarded child and for THAT you agree not to stare or use hate language ! YAY

101. Homophobic? Must be Gay!

A few commenters here have suggested that Mike Savage and others here who dislike gays are probably closeted self-hating homosexuals, as an explanation for their "homophobia". Why is this line of "reasoning" ONLY applied to anti-gay crusaders and no one else? Funny racists are rarely accused of being "closeted" members of the race they hate. Was the KKK a group of self-hating African Americans? Were the Nazis all closeted Jews? Clearly ridiculous! Gays are the only people who frequently BLAME THEMSELVES for producing the hate against THEM!

BTW, I don’t hate anyone because of their race so do not call me a bigot or a Nazi. Why do gay people always accuse people who dislike them of being racist? HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT A RACE!

102. I don't get it.

Did CAA not know what he was famous for before signing him? Why make a deal with Weiner when you're gonna change your mind two days later.

I mean, it's CAA's right to choose who they represent or not, but if you know you have a potential client who has severe hatred issues with the rest of your clients why even think of bringing him on?

103. The whole "gays don't reproduce so are dangerous" argument these sheep-humping rednecks spew is hilarious. The world is overpopulated already and headed for DANGEROUS overpopulation soon. Gays are in fact doing the world a favor. And supposing the world was dangerously underpopulated, I bet many gay people would donate sperm to create new children, even if they don't breed like rabbits like these filthy, demented, Bush worshipping rednecks do.

105. Obviously, CAA is too high brow to represent a man who believes men were meant to be with women and women with men (where does Mike Savage get this stuff?).

They only represent drug addicted, sex crazed, lap dancing, immoral perverts anyway. I've heard even a few of their clients graduated from high school (they're pretty selective).

Way to go Mike, you don't need them, those tolerant, open minded, progressive liberal people that they are. If you want them to take you back just announce your addicted to heroin and a pedophile, then they can represent you and get you on Larry King and Oprah. - DLB
