HULK HOGAN: REAL-LIFE HERO OR SCIENTOLOGY HERO?

File this under things that make you go hmmm… We couldn’t help but be skeptical when we read that blast from the past, Hulk Hogan, was a real life hero when he spotted an overturned car in Clearwater,(!) Florida. (See link from TMZ below) Hulk recently married yoga instructor Sky Daily who is a second generation Scientologist. We aren’t SURE if Hulk has joined the controversial group, but it looks like it. Hulk and Tom Cruise were seen sharing a private box at a recent Tampa Bay Buccaneers game! We aren’t trying to take anything away from Hulk’s supposed good deed, we can’t help but think that something smells fishy. Scientology has allegedly been known to stage accidents and then have their members conveniently be there to save the day. Years ago it seemed like Tom Cruise was playing a real life hero on a regular basis. He got lots of publicity for rescuing people on a sinking boat, and also saving a woman injured in a car crash, and taking her to the hospital, where he paid her bill. We’ll let YOU decide!

Hero Hero Worship Tom Cruise Top Gun: Maverick

THE NON-STOP GLORIFICATION OF MAVERICK AKA TOM CRUISE

We have not seen Top Gun: Maverick yet (lack of interest) but we MIGHT, since Roger Friedman suggested we read a tantalizing review by Luke Y Thompson for The Underground Bunker. Thompson points out that Tom Cruise as Maverick, is worshiped by every character in the movie, and those who disagree with Maverick, only do so because they have not yet realized the full goodness and greatness he possesses! Maverick has been pulled out of retirement to lead a final mission because nobody on the planet has been – or will be – as good as he is. His recent directors seem devoted to glorifying and flattering Cruise, above all else. They add extra scenes of Cruise running or speeding on a motorcycle without a helmet to emphasize his youthful masculinity – in every film. All this hype points to Tom Cruise being the most awesome guy EVER, and he’s loving every minute of it. So are the Scientologists.

#MeToo Brad Pitt Confrontation Gwyneth Paltrow Harvey Weinstein Hero

IS BRAD PITT THE ONLY MALE HERO IN THE WEINSTEIN SCANDAL?

For some unknown reason, Brad Pitt is not getting the recognition he deserves for being one of the FEW people (and perhaps the ONLY MAN) who confronted Harvey Weinstein for his aggressive sexual behavior. This is a BIG DEAL and it clearly defines Brad’s character. Brad approached Weinstein in a public place and called him out for making a pass at Brad’s then-girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow and warned him NEVER to do it again. Of the hundreds of women harassed (and far worse) by Harvey Weinstein – is Brad the ONLY decent man who spoke up and courageously addressed Weinstein’s abysmal behavior? None of those other agents, managers, or boyfriends said A WORD? And remember, Brad spoke out BEFORE Harvey’s downfall loosened everyone’s lips! Sorry Angelina, but Brad Pitt is a real life hero!

Bruce Jenner Hero Transgender Transsexual

BRUCE JENNER IS NO HERO

Yes, Bruce was and is an athletic hero, but to call him a hero for transitioning into a “woman” is an insult to genuine heroes. Heroes are brave women and men with high ideals who risk their own safety to help others, not themselves. Calling Jenner a “hero” tarnishes the title for people who actually EARNED it – like Susan B Anthony, Martin Luther King, Sally Ride, Rosa Parks, Gloria Steinem, and many who served in the armed forces. Having a sex change is like having plastic surgery – it’s something you do for yourself to make YOURSELF happier. And everybody is free to do it. Bruce egotistically claimed on TV “I’m going to change the world.” He’s changing HIS world. It’s nice to see Bruce following his dreams, but they are hardly heroic.

Guilty Hero Kato Kaelin OJ Simpson

KATO KAELIN MIGHT HAVE HAD A VERY DIFFERENT LIFE IF HE’D TOLD THE TRUTH

Whenever we ran into Kato Kaelin through the years, we couldn’t help thinking “You could have been a HERO!” After the OJ Simpson trial we made a point of telling him that, but since then we only think it. He’s a likeable guy but proved himself to be a COWARD when he avoided saying anything during the trial that might make OJ look guilty. For a long time after the trial, he was despised by people appalled by the injustice to Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman, and fact that smirking murderer OJ was set free. Apparently Kato was scared stiff of telling the whole truth – but if he HAD, he would have been celebrated for the rest of his life for getting a vicious murderer locked up. Kato’s future might have been very different. Last we heard, Kato had an online sports show at FilmOn.com. Meanwhile, we’re curious to find out where Cindy Adams got that quote from Kato in her column today declaring OJ guilty – Kato denies all.

Health Scare Heart Hero Jessica Simpson

JESSICA SIMPSON MAY HAVE SAVED A LIFE

Jessica Simpson is a hero. It seems Jessica is in the habit of taking walks with her godmother Beth in the Encino neighborhood where her mother Tina lives. During a recent walk Beth got out of breath for the first time. She thought it was nothing important, but Jessica INSISTED that she see a doctor as soon as possible. It turned out Beth had some serious arterial blockage that needed immediate attention. Jessica may have saved her godmother’s life.

Flight Attendant Hero JetBlue Meltdown Steven Slater

STEVEN SLATER: BE KIND TO YOUR FLIGHT ATTENDANT- OR ELSE!

Overnight, flight attendant Steven Slater has become a working class hero because he simply refused to take any more abuse from passengers on JetBlue. The details about EXACTLY what set him off vary, but it involves a rude passenger bonking him on the head with an overhead bin and instead of apologizing, cursing him out. Bad manners overload caused the attendant to snap. Steven’s dramatic departure – telling off the nasty passenger on the PA system, grabbing a beer, and leaving the plane, which had landed at JFK, on the emergency slide. He calmly drove home and a neighbor reported that “about fifty cops” came to arrest him. (For WHAT?) He hasn’t paid his $2500 bail yet, but Facebook fans and his fellow flight attendants are rallying to take up a collection for their new idol. He’s getting enormous sympathy from the public and job offers already. Certainly the talk show circuit is next. We’re dying to hear more details about that rude passenger.
