My criteria is simpler: *1* Is the celebrity being accused of a violent or nonconsensual act (incl. instances where consent is nonapplicable - e.g. pedophilia)? *2* Does the celebrity feel the need to use his/her celebrity to preach hate based on adult consexual activity to elevate themselves? If not, what do I care? David Letterman, WGAF? Hugh Grant, WGAF? To a degree, Bill Clinton, WGAF (althought he didn't go anti-gay, he certainly had the power to push sexual policics forward, instead staying in neutral)? But Carrie Prejean, I rub my hands in glee she is embarrassed! I hope someone has proof and shows it soon about Sarah Palin's with Todd's business partner - oh how I would dance the schaedenfreude jig! Larry Craig, Mark Sanford - thanks for playing, leave the national arena now! “OK, Armstrong MIGHT have a point if our taxes were going to support Mr. Woods’ career (that would actually make him a public figure), but since they don’t who gives a fuck?”
