Underwood Picks a Fight with Half of Hollywood

Carrie UnderwoodThe next time you see a celebrity in a political ad, just know Carrie Underwood thinks that person is stupid.

The former "American Idol" found a soapbox, climbed on it, and proceeded to bash the hell out of all sorts of famous people like Timberlake, Stallone, Affleck and Oprah -- for their decision to publicly endorse a candidate for president.

Underwood tells TV Guide, "There is someone I do support, but I don't support publicly. I lose all respect for celebrities when they back a candidate. It's saying that the American public isn't smart enough to make their own decisions ... music is where you go to get away from all the BS."

226. To paraphrase Ben Stein: Actors are good at two things - memorizing and regurgitating lines written by someone else; and pretending to be someone they're not. Some of them have the added ability to hire the right people to keep their lives and bank accounts in order. They have no bearing on my reality, nor should they, and I resent their attempted intrusion into that reality. I refuse to put my money in the pockets of any celebrity who thinks that his or her celebrity status lends an automatic right to try to stuff their twaddle down my throat.

227. Bad choice of words, I believe the American public is capable of making their own decision if a celebrity wants to voice their opinion that is their right.
