Hollywood is shocked-shocked, I say-over the news that Oscar winner Marion Cotillard, who won for her portrayal of singer Edith Piaf in the film LaVie En Rose, is evidently a 9/11 conspiracy theory nut. Had hey known, they might not have given her the award, according to Hollywood insiders.
True, Ms. Cotillard has probably been brainwashed, having derived most of her information from the French-Euro leftist press. She deserves some understanding, perhaps, and besides, she is doubtless deserving of the award on the artistic merits of her performance.
Still, it is easy to see why the Hollywood elites might well be disturbed at these revelations. After all, your typical Oscar winner tends to be true-blue, red-blooded, patriotic Americans. If of foreign extraction, they tend to be unabashed lovers and supporters of the land of the free and the home of the brave. Just look at past Award winner Michael Moore, pictured here proudly waving the American flag.

I'm just gonna say, having watched a lot of the Franco media here in La France, that it's actually really boring. Mostly its people sitting around discussing public transportation in Paris. They do have a lot more nudity on TV though, so that helps.
Hey Rufus, good to hear from you. Hope you're having fun over there. Have you ever had a chance to take any tours of the wine country, or are you too busy? I'd love to hit the Burgundy region, and others, if I could ever pull myself away from Paris long enough.
I don't hate the French people, actually. I try to keep them separate from my feelings towards their leaders, whom I don't care for. This is true though of most of the European countries regarding the rulers and the actual people, who seem to be limited in what their actual choices are.
As for the nudity, a little would be fine with me, but if it's a constant, I would imagine it would start to get a little old after a while. Cotillard is always easy on the eyes, though.
