Overly sensative Hollywood crybabies

So Ricky Gervais offended some of Hollywood's elite Sunday night at the Golden Globes.  Let me ask you this: does anyone who was not in that room Sunday night give a damn?  The answer: no.  I couldn't care less if Angelina Jolie was offended my Gervais' jokes.  She has a nine-figure bank account.  She can go where she wants, when she wants.  I don't feel sorry for her.  These thin-skinned Hollywood elitists need to toughen up and just go with it.  Everyone knew Ricky would push the envelope with his humor.  No one expected anything less.  So Gervais subtly called Tom Cruise gay.  And...?  So he brought up some of Bruce Willis' no-so-memorable films and also pointed out The Tourist was a flop.  He made jokes about Robert Downey Jr's addiction probelms.  No different than Leno or Letterman.  The president of the foreign hollywood press has said Gervais will not be invited back to host the show.  OK, I can live with that.  His humor isn't for everyone.  But he went on to say Gervais will never recive a Golden Globe nomination.  Can we say childish, boys and girls?  The response and backlash to Gervais' jokes is assanine but nt surprising.  The eilitist Hollywood types have always been unable to take a joke and expect sympathy from the rest of us when they are offened.  In this case, they are not going to get it.  We all felt bad when John Travolta's child died.  We do not feel bad about him being upset over Ricky Gervais making a joke about Scientology.  I ask all you Hollywood people to suck it up, crack a smile, learn to laugh at yourselves and get on with your million dollar lives.
