Some people are spoiled, some are deluded.

Some are wrapped in a bubble of inescapable idiocy and some are so far gone and delusional that not even smacking them around the face with a sharp dose of reality will do them any good.

Which of those categories the formerly likeable actor Owen Wilson falls into for his lack of ability to understand how the recession has hit ‘the little people’ remains to be seen.

Now, given recent events and his going through hard times that somewhat reflect a real struggle, one would think that the Hollywood leading man would be able to conjure realistic empathy and put himself in the shoes of people who had really suffered and felt real loss.

Well screw you for having so much faith in him, cos he is incapable of feeling one tenth of the pain you have felt since you lost your job/ your home/ your kitten (bailiffs take those too when you don’t pay the bills, right?)

The crest of the recession wave has hit Hollywood according to Owen and it has effected him and his brethren in horrid and unspeakable ways. The recession has led to… having to wear the same movie wardrobe more than once!

Yep, anyone who actually may have felt the fall out of the financial implosion be damned. According to the on-again off-again flame of Kate Hudson, the most shocking and startling part of the Hollywood recession is that this one time he actually had to wear some boots for a scene and he’d worn the same ones near a decade earlier for a different movie. *The author gasps as she blogs from the inside of a discarded crisp packet*

From Showbiz Spy:

Owen Wilson says the recession has well and truly hit Hollywood — because he had to reuse a pair of cowboy boots for his new movie. The 40-year-old star says the shoes he was given in his costume for Night at the Museum 2 were the same pair he used in Shanghai Noon nine years ago. “I was allowed to take the boots that I wore in the movie home,” says Owen. “They’re actually the same boots that I wore in Shanghai Noon, so it was kind of funny.”

Given that I have no home at present as the big mean bailiffs took it off me and I am writing this from the inside of a (very large) crisp packet that I found in the street, you will have to forgive me for sounding bitter and cynical at the lack of feeling over the quote above.

Would the world not be a much nicer and sunnier place if the only downside of the current economy were that you had to downsize to a house with one less pool. Or better yet, if you had to cut staffing levels so that you only had one personal assistant and not two?

You are a caring and generous bunch over here. I thought that since you all have money to burn, and as much sympathy as I, you could stand by my side and join me as I begin the “Poor Bastard: What A Bloody Hard Life You’ve Got ” Fund.

I am going to begin the fund with an initial donation of “Screw you… have these damn boots instead if you’re so hard up”.

Feel free to add “Are you freakin’ kidding me!?” and we can stop collecting and hand over the proceeds, once we reach the grand amount of “There, there, who’s a sad little millionaire then”.
