Blind Items Revealed #2
December 4, 2012
This comic actor is probably B- and usually only does movies. His attempts at television have been awful. He will do anything for a paycheck at this point and has gone through all of his A and B list friends asking for money. He has also worked himself outside the circle of trust which means getting a role and a paycheck is going to be tough. As much money as he has earned in his life, it is likely he is going to have to move in with his family to support himself or decide to sell that tell-all book he promises to write if he can't get back inside the circle of trust.
Rob Schneider
So did all his money go in his arm or up his nose?
ReplyDeleteHe's just had a very successful (certainly critically) comedy series over here in the UK.
ReplyDeleteIf he is broke, then he is a perfect example of a celebrity who needed a NNN investment paying him a monthly income.
ReplyDeleteBut, instead of buying the income property, he bought the mansion that he could NOT keep up with the monthly expenses on.
So sad.
He is a piece of shit from what I hear. Also a rabid anti-vaxxer.
ReplyDeleteIf he were smart & bought a couple apartment buildings he could be living off that.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I am talking about.
ReplyDeleteDick Van Patten bought several rent properties back in the 70's - 80's with his "Eight is Enough" money. He is now sitting pretty comfortable in semi-retirement.
(Do actors really retire?)
Wiki accuses.. Accusations of ethnic stereotyping
ReplyDeleteA 2005 New York Times editorial admonished, "Watch Rob Schneider play Ula, a leering Hawaiian in the Adam Sandler movie 50 First Dates, with a pidgin accent by way of Cheech and Chong and you get the sense that Hollywood still believes that there is no ethnic caricature a white actor can't improve upon." In a letter to the editor, Schneider defended himself by asserting his Filipino heritage, adding that he believes that "Hollywood should give roles to the most talented person irrespective of ethnicity, race or in my case 'looks'."
In 2007, the Media Action Network for Asian Americans (MANAA) criticized Schneider for donning prosthetic make up to play a Japanese minister in I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry by likening it to "yellow face". Richard Roeper said in his review that "Rob Schneider's Filipino background hardly excuses his portrayal of an Asian minister in perhaps the most egregious stereotype of its kind since Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's.
MANAA also criticized Schneider for an Asian character's dialogue in 2005's Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo, which he co-wrote. The organization stated that the portrayal of the character "perpetuated the tired stereotype that Asian men have small penises".
Personal life
In 1996, Schneider established the "Rob Schneider Music Foundation". The foundation returned music education to Pacifica's elementary schools by paying the teachers' salaries and providing funds for instruments and other equipment. Prior to Schneider's efforts, the school system did not have music education programs for many years.
Schneider once co-owned the DNA Lounge, a San Francisco nightclub. He supports Mexican soccer team Tigres UANL
Schneider's mother has made cameo appearances in her son's films, playing a cheerleading contest judge in The Hot Chick, a restaurant patron in Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, and a nosy neighbor in The Animal.
On April 23, 2011, Schneider married television producer Patricia Azarcoya Arce, in Beverly Hills, California. Their first child, Miranda Scarlett Schneider, was born in 2012.
In 2013, Schneider announced that he would no longer support the Democratic Party, citing California's heavy regulations and calling the state's economy a disaster. He became a member of the Republican Party and endorsed assemblyman Tim Donnelly for governor.Schneider is also an outspoken critic of vaccination practices, even going so far as to liken California Bill AB 2109, which would require the informed consent of parents before opting for a philosophical exemption to vaccinations, to the Nuremberg Laws of Nazi Germany. In September, 2014, State Farm pulled a television commercial featuring Schneider after a social media campaign urged the insurance company to end its affiliation with the anti-vaccine actor.
Reminds me of the story silent star Lillian Gish once told..she and her sister Dorothy, new in California, were offered a land deal but took the $300 and bought dresses. The land was evidently a big parcel, with the now sunset strip running thru it.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering why he got out of the circle of trust. I assume more the dem/rep thing than the anti-vaccine.
ReplyDeleteWell, sure, Rob...writing a tell-all is definitely the way to regain your friends' trust!
