Look Jodie, just come out already

From the Celebrity Movie Post blog:

Jodie Foster worked with Mel Gibson. Mel Gibson is a friend of Jodie Foster's. And Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster says, is no anti-Semite.

"Absolutely not," Foster said in Friday's Los Angeles Times. "Mel is honest, loyal, kind, but alcoholism has been a lifelong struggle for him and his family."

Foster, who costarred with Gibson in 1994's "Maverick," is the highest-profile Hollywood star to publicly vouch for the troubled actor-director who faces charges for a drunken-driving arrest--and scrutiny for an accompanying rant that disparaged Jews and women.


Okay, let me see if I have this.

Number of times Jodie Foster has stood with a multi-millionaire mega-star whose inexcusable behavior includes (besides this most recent) a pattern of homophobic treatment of gay characters in his films, and anti-gay statements given in interviews (when he didn't have the "defense" of being drunk, BTW):

One.

Number of times Jodie Foster has stood with people whose inexcusable treatment includes not being allowed to adopt children with or marry the men or women they love, gay-bashing and other "hate crimes" and not being allowed to serve in the military:

None.

So good to know that girl has her priorities straight. I was about to say, play on words not intended, but you know what? I think it is.
