Bronson Pinchot Amends Remarks About Former Co-Stars Tom Cruise And Denzel Washington
Remember Bronson Pinchot's less-than-flattering comments about Tom Cruise and Denzel Washington? Well, someone decided to follow-up with Bronson about his remarks. Although he declined to come to the phone to speak directly to the reporter, here are the statements he issued as "clarification."
"[I]n hindsight" Cruise's use of "homophobic language" wasn't remarkable, but "actually unremarkable."
And as for describing Denzel as "unpleasant"?
"I regret my choice of words there, and would like to amend my statement by saying I found his willingness to be ungenerous, unkind, knowingly hurtful both mentally and physically to myself and the crew to be the saddest misuse of stardom I have ever experienced or hope to experience."
All right, then! Bronson also said he was "forthcoming" about his own faults, but no one was interested in printing that.
Bronson also denied that either Tom's or Denzel's reps had contacted him regarding his comments. You have to give the guy credit: he's willing to stand by his statements!

Bronson Pinchot's Scathing Remarks About Co-Stars Tom Cruise & More
Bronson Pinchot starred alongside Tom Cruise back in the day on the movie Risky Business. In an interview this week, the actor had some pretty harsh words about his experience working with Tom. According to Popeater, Bronson shared this:
"He made constant, constant unrelated homophobic comments, like, 'You want some ice cream, in case there are no gay people there?' ... There was no basis for it. It was like, "It's a nice day, I'm glad there are no gay people standing here." Very, very strange. Years and years later when people started to torment him with that, I used to think 'God, that's really fitting, because he tormented a lot of people as a 20-year-old.'"
Pinchot adds, "If someone's 20 years old and every third line out of their mouth is anti-something specific, then draw your own conclusion."
And he said this about Denzel Washington:
"one of the most unpleasant human beings I've ever met in my life,"
Ouch! I wonder if Denzel will have any response to this?
Bronson did have a few positive things to say. One of them was about fellow actor, Tom Hanks. The two met when Bronson was in a play with Rita Hanks.
"a wonderful and genuine and lovely and down-to-earth person ... so it's not really true that big stars need to be driven and repulsive, because he's anything but."
Tom's publicist has already responded:
Obviously this is so far removed from who Tom Cruise is as a person, this must have been said in jest,"
Do you think he was joking around or do you think there's any truth to this? Maybe just another case of trying to get press by saying shocking things about celebrities who are more famous?

The Los Angeles Premiere Of The Taking of Pelham 123
Denzel Washington celebrated the premiere of his newest movie, 'The Taking of Pelham 123' with a few Hollywod friends. Kim Kardashian, Brittany Gasteau (who was registered as "guest" on WENN), Tyrese, AnnaLynne McCord (who I thought was traveling the whole summer to get away from the industry), Amanda Righetti (who I LOVE LOVE LOVE from The Mentalist), and Bai Ling all came out to show support.
John Travolta, Denzel's co-star was noticeably and understandably absent.
What do you think about this movie? One to watch?
Here is the trailer:

Tom Cruise And Denzel Washington To Compete With Bourne Franchise
Well, here's some exciting news, if you're into action flicks! Denzel Washington and Tom Cruise are teaming up for a new movie series, which is meant to compete with the Bourne franchise.
The pair will play rival spies who team up to take on an evil
organisation in The Matarese Circle, which is based on author Robert
Ludlum's book of the same name.
Robert Ludlum also wrote the Bourne books.
Do you think Tom and Denzel still have what it takes to carry off this kind of movie? Or would you be more interested if the casting was different?

Denzel Washington's Wax Figure
Madame Tussauds Wax Museum celebrated the unveiling of its Denzel Washington wax figure by holding a mock debate honoring Washington's movie The Great Debaters, recently released on DVD. WOW! That picture looks so REAL! I almost don't believe that it isn't Denzel. :)
The people over at the museum really have a gift. That is one skill that cannot be learned.
Denzel Washington And His Wife Out To Lunch
Now HERE is some talent that deserves a post! Here is Mr. Denzel Washington out with his wife Pauletta leaving The Grill in Beverly Hills. When you are Denzel, you don't need to get dressed up. He could probably walk in the Ritz for lunch with track pants on! :)How does everyone like the goatee? Goatee is such an interesting word to me. Same with cow lick and pony tail. Why are all hair style names related to animals? I always found that so odd.Flynet
Denzel Washington Leaving The Villa Lounge
Apparently "Villa Lounge" is a major hot spot for celebrities in Hollywood. Leading man Denzel Washington was spotted leaving the club this past weekend and he sure didn't look pleased about being photographed. Also leaving was Matthew Perry, a regular of the Villa Lounge. I'm curious if any of you go to these clubs specifically because celebrities go as well? Are they all hype?
