Which of today’s TVLine Items pique your interest?
This dumb broad supports child swear shops while incorrectly calling out the us for supposed war crimes. As if the Middle East is some peaceful haven if not for America.
Also she looks like a balloon ball these days.
Agree with your point about her working with Apple but honestly she was not wrong about war. Middle East is like it is now because of America constantly interfering and destroying other countries just as a result of 9/11. You people really need to stop thinking you’re right in every situation and every other country is the worst.
LOL. Ms. Arquette lectured the world last night at the Golden Globes with her sanctimonious smug liberal know-it-all commentary. Now she’s working for Apple, who has hundreds of thousands sweat shop workers in China spewing out their smartphones & electronics. Ricky Gervais ripped Hollywood for their phony liberal woke politics. Ms. Arquette is the poster child for this hypocrisy.
Money talks. Speaking of money, I hope Loretta Devine was paid well by Netflix because that promo was atrocious and she deserves better work.
Funny how things change and your so-called principles go out the window when it come down to a paycheck – typical Hollywood leftist. Should have listen to Ricky and thanked your agent and get out of there. HAHA!!!
