Sally Kirkland Gets Bamboozled

Oh no she ditn't!!
Paris Hilton, Sally Kirkland, Nicole Richie
TMZ has obtained a photo of Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie on the set of "The Simple Life," with one-time Oscar nominee Sally Kirkland in full-on blackface and an afro! Cards and letters to Ms. Kirkland! As TMZ reported in May, Nicole talked Kirkland, who plays a drama teacher, into donning the controversial getup to portray Lionel Richie in an episode of the reality show. Paging Rev. Al!

While the racy episode airs July 29 -- the fallout starts now!

151. always thought parasite was a useless dumb bitch who never cared for anyone but herself. Found this article which confirms it -www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/showbiz/showbiznews.html?in_article_id=469940&in_page_id=1773

152. Sally Kirkland is a consummate actress. She can do comedy, she can do drama, she is versatile and spontaneous. I believe this picture as Lionel Richie is great comedy. Why are people so uptight without any sense of humor? My opinion is that Sally Kirkland sees human beings as equals regardless of race or ethnicity. She does not accept hatred of any kind and she would be the first to rebuke any racial comments. She is a good person and a good actress. The public is making a mountain out of a molehill her--this was never intended to be and is not a racial issue. It is acting.... My friends and I enjoy Sally as a person and as the versatile actress that she is.

154. sally kirkland is one of the greatest actresses of our time; academy award nomanie and golden globe winner...she is one of the most active people in entertainment as well as a unique artist and activist. Nicole and Paris should feel exceptionaly privledged to have her on the show...

155. Let it go!!! If you never met the woman or know who and what she really is about then leave her alone...I'm African American, I know Sally, I talk to Sally and b.s. like this just draws more separation between black and white....know the whole story and why she is doing it before you throw her into the lion's den....she's an acting coach, she's acting just like The Wayans, they have just as much respect as does Sally.....

156. Sally is not only a great actress but an inspiration to the acting community. SAlly is soo far from being racist..she is an ordained minister..and believes that we have allbeen every coloe..and she embraces every color and creed. Paris and Nicole should be THANKFUL that such a great artist and humanitarian is gracing their show. You should be ashamed TMZ of making a mockery of this great woman.

157. Sally is a friend of mine. She is no racist. What a bunch of hooey. Give some of thiese wannabe posters something to do and what you get are stupid comments. Shame on you guys. This place seems to be in a race with Perez to see who can get under the worm lower. Sally is a great acteress and a greater person. This business is so unfair, but then, this blog or whatever it is, doesn't seem to care what is said about a person. Words hurt, shame on you.

158. Most people are saying Sally Kirkland is this, she is that, she is so nice and not racist..
Nice or not, the woman is wearing Blackface, HELLO!
There is nothing in our history that states that wearing blackface is positive.. Learn your history people, how stupid can you be..

159. Sally Kirkland is a incredible actress and a powerful activist.

Her advocacy for women harmed by breast implants has raised enormous awareness to their serious problems.

She even had the courage to go public when she had her implants removed in 1998.

For all those misjudging her ... I highly recommend you see her performance in "Anna" which won her an Oscar nomination ...

and check out her website and her art at:

I'm excited to see her on Simple Life this weekend!

162. Sally Kirkland is a great lady. she is kind, cares for others and is sensitive. I've known her since 1968 as students of Swami Satchidananda aka the Woodstock Guru, as he opened it. See him in the opening of the movie. Sally became Satya meaning truth. I became Mitra, friend and Carole King, Karuna, compassion. Peter Max. Atman True Self. Jeff Goldman, Laura Dern, Nirmala Heriza, Diane Ladd all are students of Yoga Master, Swami Satchidananda. A loving teacher who instilled loving qualities in all of us. Sally, Satya lives these qualities and we both became Yoga teachers. We all practice non-injury. Sally and all the above celebrities will never cause harm to any living thing knowingly.

164. Ha ha! The simple life just got axed! al sharpton and jessie jackson probably got on paris's flat racist ass.

165. To anybody Black defending any of these three: This is not acting, it's complete disrespect of YOU. Check yourselves.
