Meryl Streep Passed On Oscar Dress When Chanel Refused to Pay. (ht/ Kpark)
It seems that Streep was quite taken with an embroidered gray silk gown from Karl Lagerfeld’s most recent couture collection for the house. The dress was ordered, with Streep requesting an adjustment to the design — a higher neckline. Done. Such personalization is what couture is all about, along with exquisite execution, and, in the case of Chanel, Lagerfeld’s design brilliance. What more could the world’s greatest living actress want for Hollywood’s biggest night?
Turns out, she wants a paycheck. With work on the dress well underway in Chanel’s atelier, word came from Streep’s camp to cease and desist. “I made a sketch, and we started to make the dress,” Lagerfeld told WWD. Days later, a phone call came in from a member of Streep’s camp. “’Don’t continue the dress. We found somebody who will pay us,’” Lagerfeld quoted the messenger.
Tammy sends us a found comment on the internetz:
Dear Hollywood celebrities and “so called professional athletes “,
You exist for my entertainment. Some of you can deliver a line with such conviction that you bring tears to my eyes. Some of you can scare the crap out of me. Others make me laugh. But you all have one thing in common, you only have a place in my world to entertain me. That’s it.
You make your living pretending to be someone else. Playing dress up like a 6 year old. You live in a make believe world in front of a camera. And often when you are away from one too. Your entire existence depends on my patronage.
I’ll crank the organ grinder; you dance.
I don’t really care where you stand on issues. Honestly, your stance matters far less to me than that of my neighbor. You see, you aren’t real. I turn off my TV or shut down my computer and you cease to exist in my world. Once I am done with you, I can put you back in your little box until I want you to entertain me again.
Leftists like you and your globalist masters have no morals. Liberals hate the Constitution and free market capitalism. You’ve destroyed our nation with measures like the ACA and immigration amnesty. The “Affordable” Care Act has been nothing short of a disaster. My health insurance bill is up to $550/month. (Compare this to my $25/month auto insurance from Insurance Panda or my $10/month renters insurance… both private enterprise!). I’m supposed to take advice from you?
I don’t care that you think the BP executives deserve the death penalty. But I bet you looked cute saying it.
And you? Really? I’m supposed to care what the director of fluffy tripe made for gullible people thinks about global warming or gun control? Get back into your bubble. I’ll let you know when I’m in the mood for something blue and shiny.
And I’m also supposed to care that you will leave this great country if Trump becomes president? Ha. Please don’t forget to close the door behind you. We’d like to reserve your seat for someone who loves this country and really wants to be here.
Make me laugh, or cry. Scare me. But realize that the only words of yours that matter are scripted. I might agree with some of you from time to time, but it doesn’t matter. In my world, you exist solely for my entertainment
So, shut your pie hole and dance!
The Devil Wears Moolah.
Trash with money.
I don’t care about Streep’s socialist politics, what she wears, who makes her clothes, who she sleeps with, what bathroom she uses, where she eats, lives, what she drives, her movies or anything else.
I have no tolerance for an anti-American, self-impressed, uninteresting, no talent, has been, intolerant assholes.
Whores.
Who gives a shit? She and all her ilk can drop dead as far as I’m concerned.

And all the men and women merely players”

Just like a liberal, expects someone else to pay and she should get everything for free.

Repeat a lie often enough ….
I wouldn’t have seen her in it anyway.
I’d give her $2 to wear my shorts on her head.
$5 for a pair that I’ve kicked into the hamper.
I know I’ve seen her in lots of movies.
But I can only recall 1 or 2. And they were nothing special.
Hollywood is in decline and will continue to decline because the Left destroys everything it infects.
I think she’d look good in a Hefty Bag® with holes cut for the head and arms. She could claim it was The People’s Dress or some left-wing BS clap-trap.
we’ll be watching the snowflake awards on the blaze channel….
Why doesn’t she dress up as an illegal alien and migrate back to Mexico!
I bet some Muslims will pay her to wear a hijab.
I love the comment. So much so that I posted it on facebook.
And yes I gave IOTW credit, it’s only proper.
I couldn’t help but adapt the comment a little to be more inclusive:
Dear Hollywood celebrities, and so-called “professional” athletes,
You and your professions exists solely for our entertainment. Some of you can deliver a line with such conviction that you bring tears to our eyes. Some of you can scare the crap out of us. Others can make us laugh. But you all have one thing in common, you only have a place in our world to entertain us. That’s it!
You make your living pretending to be someone else. Playing dress up like a 6-year-old. You live in a make believe world in front of a camera. And too often when you are away from one. Your entire existence depends on our patronage.
We’ll crank the organ grinder; to let you know when we want the monkey to dance.
We don’t really care where you stand on issues. Honestly, your stance matters far less to us than that of our neighbors. You see, you aren’t real. We turn off our TVs or shut down our computers and you cease to exist in the real world. Once we’re am done with you, we put you back in your little box until we want you to entertain us again.
We don’t care that you think the BP executives deserve the death penalty. But I’d bet you looked cute saying it. Why are we supposed to care what the actors and directors of fluffy tripe made for gullible people think about global warming or gun control? Get back into your bubble. We’ll let you know when we’re in the mood for something shiny and distracting.
Make us laugh, or cry, or even scare us. But realize that the only words of yours that matter are the ones that are scripted. And while we might agree with some of you from time to time, it doesn’t matter. In our world, you exist solely for our entertainment.
So, shut your pie holes and listen for the organ music, so you’ll know when we want you to dance!
Again I say, the only role I think she was ever good in, she played a whore.
Good move Chanel, dismissed the witch with a dose of capitalism.
@MJA
Probably no Muslims willing to pay her to wear a hajib but plenty willing to rape her for not wearing one. And stone her afterward for being an infidel or something.
actors? they live in the twilight zone and nothing is real to them-
She stole the idea from Scarlet O Hara in “Gone With the Wind.”
Looks like that to me. Scarlet’s drapes were Hunter Green.
But “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a fuck.”
