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!

79. 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

80. 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.

81. Why didn't Nicole just get her daddy to play himself?

Maybe he didn't want to ruin his reputation and be the laughing stock of his peers, by such an inane, stupid show - should be called "Unreality Lives of Simpletons"

Someone posted Paris looks pregnant - now that would be Karma.

Hope this is true so I can have her as a "guest" on my show! Who's the Daddy?

82. The question of why Nicole agreed to the tasteless Kirkland spoof could be answered "she's not socially or politically sensitive to anything unrelated to fashion, spending money, drugs, or staying thin."

Nicole probably thought it would be a hoot, just like at her sicko Memorial Day party when she "joked" that nobody over 100 pounds would be invited inside.

She's got arrested development - - in more ways than one. She has the body of a ten year old boy, and the sense of humor of a fifteen-year old. I'm feeling more and more sorry for her baby.

Paris? Well, we know about her. She's probably upset that she can't say the N word along with the Kirkland routine. She'll just say it off-camera!

83. Nicole was adopted by Lionel Richie and his wife. Although she denies the rumors, it has been thought that her biological father was the guy that used to be the bandleader on "The Wayne Brady Show" (Sheila E's brother, who's Latino). In any case, how stupid of the girls (and the producers of "The Simple Life") to allow this kind of crap to happen. People can say that black comedians can poke fun at blackface, but that's exactly the point. Compare this to the N-word (that Paris has been known to use): hearing that word come out of a black person's mouth is a completely different thing than hearing it come out of that of a white person's, no matter how you spin it, folks. My guess is that this was done to generate press, get people to start talking about it so that they will tune in to the show. It's interesting how this picture was released to the public before the show has even aired. All of those involved knew that a majority of people would find this offensive but didn't care. Anything for attention.

89. Get a sense of humor. I remember a movie called "white man cant jump" and I didnt see white people freaking out. Imagine putting out a movie called "black men cant think", you would see rioting in the streets.

Blackface is part of Hollywood, get over yourselves.

90. The Wayan brothers madea a movie where they were made up as white people. Did any white people complain?? no. Black people need to get a sense of humor and a few more brain cells.
