BRETT RATNER: NO MORE FANCY HAIRCUTS, EITHER!

This is the best news we’ve heard all day. According to the Hollywood Reporter, those fancy offices on the Warner Bros. lot aren’t ALL that former Wonder Woman producer Brett Ratner, 48, has lost due to his sexual misconduct with women. He’s suddenly found that he isn’t welcome in some places WHERE WOMEN ARE IN CHARGE! Case in point: The Sally Hershberger Hair Salon in West Hollywood. (Sally is responsible for Meg Ryan’s famous ‘do and she gets $600 for a haircut.) Until recently Brett was a steady customer at the luxury salon, but he’s been told he is no longer welcome there! We love Sally for that.

THE ACADEMY NEEDED AN EXCUSE TO GET RID OF BRETT RATNER AND EDDIE MURPHY

There’s more to this Brett Ratner story than meets the eye. We don’t happen to be big fans of his, but we were shocked when he was caught saying “Rehearsal is for fags” and immediately forced to resign from producing the Oscars, despite the fact that he apologized profusely. Certainly, Ratner was 100% wrong, but women have been used in the same type of offhand negative insults for decades (“He runs like a GIRL”) with no backlash, much less loss of a job. There will always be ignorant men like Ratner, but an immediate and sincere apology should put an end to the matter. We suspect the Academy was getting nervous about hiring Ratner to produce the show when he insisted his buddy Eddie Murphy do the hosting. They wanted an excuse to get rid of Brett and the unpredictable Eddie along with him. The Academy got what they wanted AND they look like heroes to the gays.
