CARRIE FISHER, ALSO KNOWN AS PRINCESS LEIA FROM THE
ORIGINAL STAR WARS TRILOGY, TOOK TO TWITTER THIS WEEK TO GET
BACK AT SOME TROLLS WHO CRITICIZED HER BODY NOW
COMPARED TO HER DAYS IN THE GOLD BIKINI.
USING A PICTURE OF HER NOW, THIS IS BACK IN 1983, AND THIS IS THE
PICTURE, OBVIOUSLY, THE ICONIC
PICTURE OF PRINCESS LEIA.
SHE HAS BEEN GETTING A LOT OF CRITICISM FOR HER BODY AND
HER AGE PROCESS, AND SHE RESPONDED BY TWEETING,
"PLEASE STOP DEBATING ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT I AGED WELL.
UNFORTUNATELY IT HURTS ALL THREE OF MY FEELINGS.
MY BODY HASN'T AGED AS WELL AS I HAVE, BLOW US."
SHE SAID THAT WE TREAT BEAUTY LIKE A COMPLIMENT, AND THAT
IS INSANE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HURTS ALL THREE OF MY FEELINGS MEANS,
MAYBE YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, BUT I TOTALLY DIG HER RESPONSE.
I LOVE THAT SHE IS GIVING THE MIDDLE FINGER TO THE TROLLS.
THIS IS A TOPIC THAT IS NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART, SO I LIKE
THAT SHE IS STANDING UP FOR HERSELF.
WHAT SHE IS SAYING IS, YOU THINK YOU WERE GOING TO BOTHER ME?
I AM TOUGH, I AM PRINCESS LEIA.
I GOT THREE FEELINGS, YOU REALLY HURT THEM.
BASICALLY THIS, THE EQUIVALENT ON TWITTER.
I LOVE THE WAY SHE IS UNABASHED.
FIRST OF ALL, WE ALL AGED, THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS TO HUMAN BEINGS.
SHE EXPLAINED THAT, EVEN IN THIS STAR WARS, EVEN THE PEOPLE
THAT MADE THE MOVIE SAID COULD YOU KIND OF MAYBE LOSE
THIRTY-FIVE POUNDS?
SHE IS LIKE, NO I CANNOT, THAT IS LIKE ASKING ME TO GO
BACK IN TIME.
COULD YOU KIND OF BE TWENTY YEARS YOUNGER?
THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE.
SHE SAID THEY WANTED HER TO LOSE A THIRD OF HER.
I THINK SHE LOOKS PHENOMENAL.
SHE SAID THAT A THIRD OF HER BODY IS BASICALLY JUST A
BAG FOR HER BRAIN.
THAT IS ASHLEY MY WORST, AND THIS CARRIES ME AROUND
WHERE I NEED TO BE.
I DIG THAT SENTIMENT.
SHE SAID MY BODY IS MY BRAIN BAG, I'VE NEVER HEARD THAT
PUT THAT WAY BEFORE.
SHE SAID MY BODY CARRIES ME AROUND TO ALL THOSE
DIFFERENT PLACES SO THAT I CAN SEE THINGS AND DO THINGS,
BUT THIS IS THE REAL ME.
BUT NOTHING BEATS THE END OF THAT FIRST TWEET, THESE ARE MY
SOPHISTICATED POINTS ABOUT YOUR
TROLLING, AND BY THE WAY BLOW ME.
ODYSSEY A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SUPPORTING HER, SAYING THAT SHE
ANNIHILATED THE TROLLS, BUT SOME HEADLINES ARE ON THE OPPOSITION.
A NEW YORK POST HEADLINE READ THAT IF SHE DID NOT LIKE BEING
JUDGED ON LOOKS THAT SHE SHOULD
QUIT ACTING.
YEAH, BECAUSE THAT IS HOW THAT WORKS.
I THINK WE SHOULD PLAY GAME OF, GUESS THE GENDER OF THAT
JOURNALIST, BUT WE WILL SKIP THAT.
THE LOGIC DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE, AND I FEEL AWFUL THAT
THAT IS A SENTIMENT THAT PEOPLE
ACTUALLY HAVE.
ARE SOME STARS PICKED BASED ON LOOKS?
OF COURSE!
DOES THAT ALSO APPLY TO SOME MALES AS WELL AS FEMALES?
OF COURSE.
GEORGE CLOONEY, BRAD PITT, TWO HUGE STARS, PRETTY
GOOD-LOOKING DUDE'S.
REINKE OSLO, BRADLEY COOPER.
I DO NOT MISS THE TREND.
CENK, YOU SEEM TO HAVE THESE ACTORS ON THE TIP OF YOUR
TONGUE.
THEY ARE REALLY GOOD-LOOKING, YOU HAVE TO GIVE CREDIT
WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.
ON THE OTHER HAND, NO DISRESPECT ñ ONE SUMMARY SAYS THAT, IT IS
ABOUT TO BE DISRESPECTFUL ñ
DANNY DEVITO, JOHN MALKOVICH, AND I COULD GO ON AND ON,
BUT I SHOULD NOT.
AND THOSE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITE ACTORS.
BUT NOBODY SAYS I'M NOT CAN PUT JOHN MALKOVICH IN A MOVIE
BECAUSE OF HIS LOOKS.
HE MAY NOT FIT THE WORLD, THAT HAPPENS, THEY ARE ACTORS,
THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO FIT A CERTAIN ROLE.
I GET THAT THE LEADING ACTORS ARE MORE ATTRACTIVE AND
YOUNGER, AND AS PART OF HOLLYWOOD.
BUT TO THINK, IF YOU ARE NOT
ATTRACTIVE THEN YOU SHOULD GET A DIFFERENT PROFESSION, WILL
THAT IS ABSURD.
THEY DON'T SAY THAT ABOUT MALE STARS WERE CHARACTER ACTORS.
BY THE WAY, SOME OF THE OLDER ACTRESSES, HELEN MIRREN, LOOKS
PHENOMENAL FOR HER AGE, BUT STILL.
I HOPE WE GET PAST THIS AT SOME POINT, IT IS A SHAME THAT
WE HAVE NOT YET.
