Brett Ratner Admits He "Banged" Olivia Munn, But Never Jerked Off While Eating Shrimp.

Just when you thought the man couldn't get any douchier.

Here's an excerpt from Olivia Munn's book bashing 'the Rat.'  Xixaxers should love it.

that excerpt has no mention of jerking off while eating shrimp.

it also makes her sound weak and insecure.. i mean, the rat is the rat, but in that story she's supposed to convey her strength as an independent woman who doesn't need anyone to make it in this world but the deus ex machina is a "tv heart throb and budding musician" who she calls her SAVIOR for merely interrupting an awkward conversation.  it's also implied they were all drunk/high at a party.  she doesn't seem that smart, really. so i can't trust her story completely.

everyone knows ratner loves to bang chicks. he's a born sleaze who seems to know how to make money, worst combination for a person ever.. but i need to see the actual excerpt about the jerking off in graphic detail before i give this chick -- who i've never heard of.. what is she, some kind of tv host? -- much credibility.

also what is Attack of the Show? seems like a cool candid interview thing about celeb goss without the patheticness of chelsea handler.

Yeah, I mean there's masturbation talk and she mentions him eating something 'gross' but those things aren't going on simultaneously. Maybe the shrimp story is something that's been passed around, or maybe Ratner didn't even read the whole article and he's like "fuck, she probably mentioned the shrimp thing, gotta clear that up."

After watching the 'Attack of the show' interview, I think Ratner might be foreelzies, too. That's a pretty bold move to go on the show she used to host and say " I banged her a few times " so nonchalantly. She's obviously out for blood so the best rebuttal he could have would be to air her dirty laundry on television. I agree that the excerpt doesn't make her look the brightest and she might be holding some prior resentment she's not addressing. I'd rather believe Olivia Munn's story to preserve any fuckability she has in my eyes, but I should probably just give up. I'm sure Ratner's had a lot of conquests that would make sad.

This is like Rashomon.

he doesn't give a shit, and you can tell he's not happy, but I don't know if he's any less happy than any of us. and he's doing quite well feeding his addiction to the lifestyle that he's addicted to. that's pretty good. that's all any addict can hope for. talking about him just empowers him and validates his status as someone with status.

and studios don't care, because he's not mel gibson; he's gonna be okay for a long long time.

yet another sad day to be the little guy in America.

Olivia Munn is the Brett Ratner of talentless bigtitted bores.

'Tower Heist' Director Brett Ratner Issues Apology for Gay Slur
Source: THR

The filmmaker came under fire after saying "rehearsal is for fags" during a screening of Universal's new film.

Tower Heist director Brett Ratner is known for his candid remarks on everything from his sexual experiences with Olivia Munn to his belief that some fans of the X-Men franchise considered him the "antichrist." But the filmmaker went too far according to many when he said, "Rehearsal is for fags," during a screening of his film on Friday.

On Monday, Ratner released a statement saying, "I apologize for any offense my remarks caused. It was a dumb and outdated way of expressing myself. Everyone who knows me knows that I don't have a prejudiced bone in my body. But as a storyteller I should have been much more thoughtful about the power of language and my choice of words."

Ratner was doing a Q&A session at the Arclight Hollywood after introducing the film to the audience. An audience member asked what rehearsals were like for the film, which stars Eddie Murphy, Ben Stiller and Casey Affleck.

It was then that Ratner responded, "Rehearsal? What's that? Rehearsal's for fags. Rehearsal. Not much. A lot of prep, preparation, complex action sequences, visual effects."

GLAAD quickly condemned the statement, and is now asking for more of a statement from Ratner.

"This apology is a good start, but we're working with Ratner's people for more action, to clearly send a message to Hollywood that the anti-gay slurs used by bullies and bigots have no place in the world of entertainment, or anywhere else," GLAAD wrote in a statement.

Ratner's next gig will be producing the 2012 Academy Awards, which will be hosted by Tower Heist star Eddie Murphy.

This album is complete garbage.  This just sounds like a stoner just discovered garageband.

I was immediately sure that wasn't an actual trailer, but I'm very disappointed that the opportunity was wasted on a half-decade-old joke.  

RK, you seem more bitter than usual today. Everything go okay this weekend? Anything you want to talk about? :ponder:

someone tweeted this:

I'm guessing that today, Brett Ratner is learning a lot about the virtues of rehearsing things and not just saying what pops into your head.

okay, I'm done with RT'ing now.  He really really does need to, though.

Haha, thanks for your concern.  I've noticed lately that I've been more bitter on the board.  I think it's just creative conflict IRL souring my attitude when I'm on here.

I really don't like Olivia Munn though.

I just scoured IMPawards and saved a bunch of posters that could make good ones.  Now I just need to find some time to actually make them.  If nothing else, "The Fartist" is happening.
