Do not mess with Billy Bob Thornton, which is exactly what a Canadian DJ found out when trying to interview Billy Bob and his band, the Boxmasters. Billy Bob pulled a Joaquin Phoenix and was just weird and rude. Actually he was mad because the DJ mentioned ever so briefly Billy Bob’s movie career during the introduction, and that was apparently a big no no. Billy Bob did not want it mentioned at all – he was there as a musician only. So when it came time to answer the DJ’s questions it was all, I don’t know, or answering with some unrelated comment. The other guys in the band seemed ok and luckily led the interview but you just have to check out the video because it is amazing. Then the band, which is on tour with Willie Nelson, went to perform a song, but they did it without Billy Bob, who is the drummer. He said he just doesn’t lug the drums around. Ok, then. It was wild and did not shine any positive light on Billy Bob. The poor DJ did mange the situation as well as could be expected. Billy Bob Thornton was on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” last night and talked about how shocked he was that people were so interested with the interview gone wrong in Canada. Then with the attitude that got him in trouble in the first place Billy Bob said, “It gave humpback geeks all over the world something to do for a couple of days.” Although Thornton was a good boy with Jimmy Kimmel he does say that if he is not happy with the line of questioning of an interviewer his behavior does tend to go in the same direction as the Canadian interview, so really it was not all that remarkable. Mr. Personality right!?
 

Mia Farrow is taking it to the extreme to bring attention to the situation in Darfur. Farrow, who is 64 and a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, is planning to stop eating to show her support of the people there. Her goal is to not eat for 3 weeks…I didn’t even know that was possible. She has gained 9 pounds and hopes that will help as she has been told she could lose up to ¼ of her body mass during her starvation.  She plans on only drinking water and will get her blood tested after 2 weeks to check on organ damage. Farrow has been to visit the region 11 times and it is such a desperate situation she felt she had no other choice at this time but to take desperate action. Her goal is to get our government to take some action and make Darfur a priority and help bring peace there. Good luck Mia and be careful!
