My question for Burt Reynolds is "How the fuck does anyone "DESERVE" AIDS?"

http://www.itv.com/loosewomen/burt-reynolds-loose-women-interview



"Charlie Sheen, I don't feel bad for him. He's getting what he deserves"

The Hollywood legend Burt Reynolds came in to talk to the Loose Women about his new autobiography 'But Enough About Me' which covers his extraordinary life in the glittering lights of the movie world.

Burt has known them all and gave us some very forthright opinions on some very famous names.

He had some particularly strong words for Charlie Sheen in regards to his recent HIV announcement having little sympathy for the actor because of his hard partying lifestyle.

1. Hollywood legend???

Maybe legend solely in his own mind. The best film he ever made was "Deliverance", however he had little need for talent as the heavy lifting was supplied by the incredible ensemble cast that John Boorman assembled.

For Christ sakes, "Smokey and the Bandit"??????? Fans might say, "That's a big 10-4." I say that it is utter rubbish, as is the bulk of Reynolds' output.

The only good thing he ever did was to be associated with some awesomely talented women. My favorite is Dinah Shore. Not too sure that he was her favorite in spite of their friendship.

Whenever I hear any Hollywood star (talented or not) voicing their opinion, I yawn.

Neither Burt nor Charlie have much talent. But sadly that is how Hollywood works.

My advice. Ignore them all, except on the big screen where they get to pretend.

it all away by being the worst kind of piece of shit asshole possible.

Besides, stupid motherfucker still does not realize that Paul Thomas Anderson gave him the best role of his miserable prick life. Next time I watch Boogie Nights I am pulling for Dirk to kick his ass.

Since there is a well known link between latitude of rearing and propensity for MS, i should have grown up in Ecuador or someplace like that. But no. I refused to leave my parents as a toddler to move 5000 miles away.

So, i deserve that too.
