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!

63. -the big deal is that paris said she would be a good citizen-causes-etc.
once she was out of jail, and she is not. she lied about
what she would do once out.-therefore she is two faced and
is scrutinized by the public, because she is fake and phony. that is why.

65. I agree it is politically incorrect, but I also consider the source and realize they are a hopless bunch of idiots. But as objectionable and classless as this is, I would fight to KEEP it aired so everyone can see how insensitive they are. Of course, this does not come as a surprise to anyone who has heard Paris's racist comments about African-Americans.

66. Sally is in Blackface and Nicole is in Whiteface. No difference.

67. Y'all need to lighten up. Nicole is just having fun. The person that called her skeletal needs to leave her alone. I'm tired of thin women being made fun of. There is nothing wrong with what Sally did. Martin Lawrence, Dave Chappelle and many others do vanilla face all the time and no one says nothing about that. by the way I'm black.

74. Why do I see Sally Kirkland taking all the brunt of this??? When it was another one of Nicole RIchie's ideas??!!?

I bet it was really the producers. We all know Richie and Hilton aren't that smart and their show is SOOOOOOOOOO staged.

Why do people even watch their show?? It shouldn't be billed as a reality show--it is so far off from reality

75. Eddie Murphy DOES play asians and white folks, It isn't a big deal.. how is it racist?

She is supposed to be trying to look like Lionel Richie.............

Everything turns into a racism when it is blacks, if it is whites-it is okay.

Get over it....... geesh.
