Sure, we had to go to Australia to read news about this, but it’s worth the trip:

Nicole Kidman and 83 Hollywood heavyweights are using the power of the press to speak out against terrorism.

She has joined 84 other high-profile Hollywood stars, directors, studio bosses and media moguls, including News Corporation chairman Rupert Murdoch, has taken out a powerfully-worded full page advertisement in today’s Los Angeles Times newspaper.

What a refreshing moment of clarity for Hollywood.

The ad:

“We the undersigned are pained and devastated by the civilian casualties in Israel and Lebanon caused by terrorist actions initiated by terrorist organisations such as Hizbollah and Hamas.

If we do not succeed in stopping terrorism around the world, chaos will rule and innocent people will continue to die.

We need to support democratic societies and stop terrorism at all costs.”

So you want a list of whose movies and television shows you’ll want to be supporting now?

The actors listed included: Michael Douglas, Dennis Hopper, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Danny De Vito, Don Johnson, James Woods, Kelly Preston, Patricia Heaton and William Hurt.

Directors Ridley Scott, Tony Scott, Michael Mann, Dick Donner and Sam Raimi also signed their names.

Other Hollywood powerplayers supporting the ad included Sumner Redstone, the chairman and majority owner of Paramount Pictures, and billionaire mogul, Haim Saban.

1. Jason, it seems BETSY doesn’t think we should care what the celebs think — but I agree with you that it’s just too refreshing to be ignored and needs to be “celebrated”.

4. Hollywood Supports America?

   Too bad they had to pay for an ad though. If they had been rallying in support of hezbollah and burning American or Israeli flags, they’d have gotten wall-to-wall coverage for free. But they can probably afford to break free of a few bucks for the Re…
