Dennis Hopper, Persona Non Gala

Uneasy rider: Veteran actor Dennis Hopper is steamed that he was abruptly and mysteriously disinvited from a major inaugural concert last night saluting troops and others on the Ellipse.

"We were dismayed this week when my invitation to participate in the 'Celebration of Freedom' event . . . was withdrawn by the Presidential Inaugural Committee," Hopper, a Republican donor, said in a statement yesterday.

We're told he was scheduled to introduce an unspecified "hero." Hopper's participation was arranged by the event's producer, George Schlatter. A spokeswoman for the inaugural committee declined to comment.

Hopper and his wife, Victoria, a Democrat, canceled a long-planned trip to Washington. They also were to chair a Hollywood-style gala for the nonprofit Creative Coalition, one of the week's hottest parties. Robin Bronk, the group's executive director, told us she's "totally mystified" on why Hopper was booted by inaugural officials.

Hopper's rep said he would not comment beyond the statement, which also expressed his "deep regret" over not being here. "However," the actor added, "I would still like to express my support for President George Bush and our next four years."

but things like this make me wonder.

hey hopper, you are cheering for people who don't like you, how stupid can you get?

...how fitting.

"Hopper, a Republican donor"

I thought of Dennis Hopper.

"Don't you fucking look at me!"

Ashton Kutcher co-sponsored it, or promoted it (but missed it because of weather or scheduling) or something like that.
